Attractive Women.

Why is one woman attractive and
another not? The most admirable
and attractive thing about wom-
and is her womanliness. Everybody
admires a womanly woman, she
must have health, of course, be-
cause without it she would lose the
brightness of her eyes, the fullness
of her cheek and her vivacity. Real
health must mean that a woman is
really a woman. That she is strong
and perfect in a sexual way, as well
as in every other. That she is ca
pable of performing perfectly the
duties of maternity. Some are born
with what is called constitutional
weakness. Those who do not en-
Joy perfect health need only take
the proper precautions and the
proper remedy to become perfectly
well and strong. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription will cure any de-

THE ROUND UP.

The officers here are having quite
time in capturing the parties aid
ing and abetting the car thieves in
hiding their stolen goods.
The two principal negroes are
now il Jail, and they have told on
all who purchased the stolen goods
from them.
Grandson Collins, negro saloon
keeper on the Texas side, had pur-
chased three barrels of mountain
dew" from them, and Dick Mitchell,
doing business on this side, pur-
chased one. Dick confessed that
he bought it, and when asked where
the barrel was, said he emptied the
contents and sold the empty barrel
to man living on the Crow place
on Red River, Mr.. Hal Harman,
the special agent of the Cotton
Belt, went out yesterday and
brought the empty barrel in, to be
used as testimony against the two
negroes now in jail.
The two negroes, who are the
principalsln the transaction, worked
on the platform for the Cotton Belt
and they knew in what car the
whisky was stored. and just before
the train pulled out, they would
break the seal, get in the car and
when out piece from the city,
would open the door and throw out
just such freight as they would
think best, and then get off and cart
the stolen goods back to the city
and sell them for what they could
get. The gang is broken up now,
and many of them will be landed in
the penitentiary.

unless a thunder shower relieves
the heat of the earth, there will be
an earthquake in this immediate
locality. He says the earth is so
hot that the gasses between the
crust of the earth and the liquid
portion, that it is bound to escape,
and if it is not cooled off by show
ers and storm, the earth will crack
and the shock will come. He says
it all will happen in sixty hours

storms and he may be right in his
coniectures about the quake" he

OF silver would result In irremediable disaster.
For this reason there can be no compromise of
the silver question.
The writer of that did not know, or,
If he did, he did not think it prudent
to state, that every nation which has
the gold basis fixes by law the value of
gold that is used In making coins. The
law Of the United States fixes the value
of every one Of our coins, naming them
separately. Beginning with the act of
April 2, 1892, section 9 of that act pro-
Vides: "Thst there shall be from time
to time struck and coined at the said
mint, coins of gold, silver and copper,
Of the following denominations, values
and descriptions, viz: Esgles-each to
be of the value of ten dollars or units,
and to contain two hundred and forty
seven grains and four-eighths of a
grain of pure, or two hundred and aev-
enty grains of standard gold"
The other coins are treated the same
way. A certain value is given to a GER
tain weight of gold. The same is true
of every law relating to the same mat
ter that has been enacted since. That
writer does not know that in 1884 Con-
gresg reduced the weight of gold coins
6per cent, but kept the value of the
coins just what they had been under
the heavier weights.
Let every nation demonetize gold
quit using it for money-stop coming
1t, and repeal all laws giving value to
the metal, and these sound currency
people would soon learn what the value
of gold is in the open market, where it
would have to compete with bullion
just ss wheat and corn have to compete
with wheat and corn.

1865, act of March 3, authorizing the
issue Of SeVen-thirty treasury notes.
On the face Of these notes was printed
statement showing that "The govern
ment reserves the right of paying In
coin the interest on this note, etc.
The first instance Of the use of the
word "coin" on the face of govern
ment bond was In case Of the first
bonds (l87ll issued under the provis-
ions Of the refunding act of 1870.
Those bonds and all that have been
issued since, including those issued by
the present administration, had these
words printed on their face: " + re-
deemsble at the pleasure Of the United
States In coin of the stand
ard value of the United States, on said
July IA, 1870, with interest In such
cOin," etc.
The reason of this departure from
the uniform practice before that time
is, that early In 1862 the government,
following the banks, suspended specie
payments, and the principal of most Of
the bonds and notes issued during the
war and some time sfterWsrd were
payable in psper-"l "lswful money" as
the greenbacks were termed. The In
terest only was payable In coin, and
that was expressed in the law and not
on the note or bond.
1t was to distinguish between paper
and specie that the words "cOin" and
''lawful money" were used.

LOSS OCCAslONED BY THE FALL OF
SILVER.

The ADVOCATE is In receipt of the
following interesting letter of inquiry:
EDITOR ADv0CATE:-I have taken the ADvo-
CATE some years, and have never been much
bother to you. Now, would like to have you
tell me, or set me right If wrong. In 1878, 37lA
grains OF silver would buy bushel Of wheat
AT that time farmers could sell their wheat at
81 per bushel and upward. In 1896, S7114 grains
OF silver will buy bushel Of wheat and the
farmer Is able only to sell his wheat at so cents
per bushel and downward. With all this, we see
every product of the farm 60 down. With sill
yer and wheat land, horses, beef, cotton, pork
-allgo down. In 1878 the United States was
assessed as worth lG billion dollars. What
would be fair estimate OF the loss to the
farmers by the fall in prices between 1873 and
1852 Can we get fair estimate?
Manhattan, KAs. f. L. PATEE.
There Is no accurate collection of
statistics that will answer DIR. Patee's
question. There have been many
guesses. We have seen estimates as
high as 3 billion dollars. The late Sem

"sOUND CURRENCY" LITERATURE.

There is q "Sound Currency Commit
tee" located at 81 William street, New
York city, with branches at Birming-
ham, st. Louis and Dallas. The COM
mittee prints one side Of sheet with
''sound currency" matter, and delivers
them free to such country newspapers
as will use them by printing local mat
ter on the other side and then sending
them out to their subscribers as the
regular local paper. From sample
sheets sent to this office, we see that
23O papers are now using these sheets.
There are three classes Of matter
sent out by this committee. One class
is devoted chiefly to speeches. The
sample sheet on our table shows that
"sbOut 2S0 papers with circulation
of 100000 are printing these speeches
from plates" sent out by the commit
tee. Another class Is made up In part
with pictures and cartoons illustrative
Of the other matter. The third class is
made up wholly Of articles prepared to
teach the gold standard doctrine.
The ADVOCATE warns It's exchanges
against this Sound Currency Commit
tees work. The matter is put In the
most plausible manner so ss to lead the
reader by degrees into the belief that 1t
is dishonest to pay debts in any money
other than gold. The virus Of the
scheme Is spread among the intellectual
tibers of men as the poison Of a drug
which apparently pleases and sOothes
that It may destroy.
Take a sample. A short article Is
quoted from the Philadelphia Record,
as follows:
NO PARTIALITY TO GOLD OR SILVER
A correspondent, who seems to think there
may be an honest compromise Of the currency
question, asks why gold should be partially
admitted to free coinage while this is denied
to silver. There are several answers to this
question; but one, we think, will suffice. The
gold which is taken to the mint to be coined
into money Is not increased in value by the
operation, nor does the same gold lose In value
when converted again into bullion. Our old
California pioneers paid out gold dust, which,
though not as convenient as the coin, was
worth just as much silver money, on the
other hand, win stand none Of the above tests.
The silver dollars cannot be exported TO pay
debts at their nominal worth, and II melted
they would lose half their value. But an ounce
Of gold bullion Is worth everywhere as much
as an ounce OF gold coin. Our correspondent
we think, viii see why there Is no Partially In
the free coinage Of gold, aud why free coinage

IS THE GOVERNMENTS HONOR INyOLVEDG :

In epeeon dellVero0 Dy Mr' MChln
Icy to q company of visitors who had
come TO pay their respects to him, he
said, among other things: "The con
test this year is TO preserve the govern
ment'g honor and save spotless itG
credit. It is q contest In which men
Of all sections can unite and will unite
to rebuke the Fepudistion of our obli-
cations and the debssement Of our cur
rency."
How much Of truth is there In that
atatementP What has our government
promised to do that anybody wants to
repudlsteP OF course we all under
stand what the Major slludes to. He
wants 1t understood that we have
promised to pay our debts in gold. If
1t were true that or promise was of
that character, we are abundsntly able
to make good the undertaking, for we
have at all times, since resuming specie
payments, had plenty Of gold to pay
every debt as 1t became due. There
was Eve times as much gold In the Ma
tlOnal treasury as we owed on any debt
that was due when each of the late
bond sales was made.
But we did not promise to pay gold.
II we had done 80, the President,
speaking for the gold syndicate, would
not have asked Congress to authorize
the issuance and sale Of gold bonds.
The syndicate said they would pay
more for gold bonds than they would
for coin bonds. The, President, in
communicating this information to
Congress, took occasion to observe
that, of course, 1t was not expected
that we would pay In any metal other
than gold; still, the syndicate would
feel better il the matter were put be-
Yond doubt.
But Congress refused to authorize
gold bonds. If the contract was to
pay gold, does anybody suppose the
question would have been raised in
this wRyH The reader will find, on
page 6 Of this paper, some interesting
history bearing directly on this point.
The ADVOCATE asserts that the gov
ernment Of the United States does not
owe one dollar Of debt payable In gold,
and that it never did owe any debt so
payable. We challenge contradiction,
It may be Of interest to some Of our
readers to state, 40 matter of history,
that, until after our great war had
ended, the word "cOin" was not used
on any of our National obligations.
Nor was the word "specie," or ''gold," J"
or "silver," or any equivalent words so
used. Our obligations, whether In the
form of treasury notes or bonds, inVa-
risbly expressed the debt In so many
dollars. The word "doIlsrs" was
used-SO many dollars, but nothing
more. If the obligation was a $50
treasury note, It was payable In gold
and silver coln-one or both--the law
full money Of the country, but nothing
was said about 1t on the note. We
give few examples.

evening at it's hall. 314 Sth street north
west President J. K. Mangum in the chair:
Robt. Bowdler, treasurer; H. r. Biddle,
acting secretary.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to look after short-quart berry
boxes reported that it had thoroughly
investigated the matter, and that only full
quart boxes are now being used in the
markets, and any patron of any market in
the District will confer a favor If he will
report any case whe re the short-quart box
is used. 1t has been one of the main OBJ
jects of the association since its organiZa-
ton to have only the large box used for
berries, and it has succeeded in accom-
pliShing that, and, as far as the markets
are concerned, another good arrangement
has been fixed through the association
that is, the using of berry boxes but once,
thereby having the berry in new, clean
boxes, instead of using the same old
stained box several times as had been the
custom for years.
The next meeting Of the association will
be held Tuesday, May 20. when several
business matters will be brought before
the association which will not only be of
interest to the dealers, but to the patrons
of the markets also. The committee on
parade reported that it thought it ad-
viSable to have the proposed parade in
early autumn, and that large demonstra-
ton be made, and that all dealers be re-
quested to have tEeir business represented
In the proposed parade.
