which will probably have the effect Of

invited to the convention to address it.
There has been move among the sound
money democrats to indorse his candi-
dacy, and in view of this the letter he
writes is regarded as equivalent to an
nouncement of his willingness to accept.
lie expresses regret that he can not ad-
dress them, and concludes;
1T is a strange thing that any farmer
or other citizen of the state of Iowa,
whether interested in silver mines or gold
bullion who buys money with cereals or
meats, should insist on being paid al
ways only 1G ounces of silver instead of
one ounce of gold. When they collect
their dues from those who have pur-
chased their products, why are they UNI
willing to accept 80 ounces of silver in
stead of 16 for one ounce of gold. Deal
ers in bullion will give only one ounce
of gold for 81 or 30 ounces of silver
do the farmers and others citizens of
the northwest know more about the real
value of silver than do the men who deal
in precious metals?"

EXPOSITION ON THE BIRTH OF A

Not Yet Accepted.

tails for the international exposition,

ating the birth of the century, and in
this connection mas asked the state
department for the name of the com
missioner general who will represent
the United States, and for such other
information available as TO The partic-
ipation Of this country. To this Act
ing Secretary Rockhili has replied that
the commissioner general has not been
named, as the American congress took
no steps at its recent session to provide
for American representation at the eN
position. He expressed the belief, how
ever, that the approaching session II
congress will bring about an accept
ance of the invitation of the French
republic.
President Cleveland called the at
tention Of congress to the invitation in
his annual message last December, and
expressed the most earnest hope that
steps would be taken for an adequate
representation by the United States.
But congress acts slow on these al
fairs and no measure was considered,
the idea being that there was plenty
Of time before 1900. 1t appears, how
ever, that Great Britain, Germany and
other leading powers have been quick
to accept, and the French government
is alloting space to these countries.

service. The messenger returned with
the information that the time piece could
not be found. whereupon the lawyer
exclaimed. looking UP from his books
and papers, THAT is very strange"
Then he took swift glance at his

the Mayor absolute power to appoint all
heads OF departments except the comp
troller The power of removal clause
gives the Mayor absolute control over and
responsibility for the actions OF his sub
ordinates. although certain restrictions
will protect office-holders from injustice.
The act. as has already been related, d.
vides the city into nine boroughs--a pro-
vision which will doubtless Ice defeated
and 1t Is provided that all matters of leg
fslation for them shall pass the upper
chamber of the Municipal Assembly and
receive the approval of the Mayor before
becoming operative. In matters of mere
ly loca! interest, involving minor expendi-
lures, the Boards of Boroughs have juris-
diction and power. a check is put upon
extravaganza, for IL requires a vote of
four-hfths of the full membershi of the
Municipal Assembly to override the May
or's veto OF an Objectionable order or ordi-
nance. Greater New York assumes all
the debts of the counties and districts con-
solidated, provision which will. no
doubt, lead to a rigid investigation OF the

An Odd Residence.

The residence belonged to a Chinese
lsherman. and Is part natural and part
the work of his own hands. The natural
portion OF the house Is a small cave in

over the beach. The other part Is a sort
Oh wooden shed. which has been built
In front of the opening. The lumber

ton by covering the whole outside with
abalone Shells the hollow side being
turned out.
The Chnaman evidently did that
| many years ago, when the shells were
| plentiful and had scarcely any market
| value. Every shell used has been de-
| Stroyed, as one or more nails have been
driven through them, according to their
size. Some of the shells are magnificent
