A FASHIONABLE RusE.

The season of weddings taxes the
ingenuity. no less than the purses, of
fashionable devotes The deceptions
to which many of the so-called upper
crust resort to discharge social obliga-
tions are almost incredible to old
fogies not in the swim. 1t has long
been tho accepted custom of brides
who receive many duplicate presents
to exchange the same at the stores
where they were purchased. When
the articles have not been marked or
deiaced in any manner merchants, as
rule, are very willing to make satis-
factory exchanges.
A volume might bs written on the
revelations that this custom has often
brought about. 1t has been tho I'm.
guessed cause of more than one social
sensation. LESS than o year ago o
fashionable bride OF Gotham received
a gorgeously snowy gift i'll repousse
silver from an old school girl friend,
daughter of O multi-millionaire. The
present was displayed in q beautiful
box bearing the stamp of famous
house, and attracted unusual attention
from the guests. Several months after
the wedding the bride, in On unlucky
moment, took this apparently gor-
geous gift, together with othors, to
exchange for articles for which she
had more immediate need. When the
selections she made were delivered ut
her residence she was surprised to find
the repousse silver. A note from the
firm stated that the silver had not
been purchased at their store. It was
plated goods. They added. however,
that they had detected the trade mark
of firm in the Bowery. If madam
desired they would furnish tho ad-
dress. A visit to the Bowery jeweler
confirmed this assertion, and the in
dignant bride bided her time. In a
short time the giver of the spurious
silver was welded. The most striking
gift she received was q familiar box,
in which reposed the unlucky piece OF
repousse silver. 1t bore no name; it
was not exhibited. No comment was
ever made by either party. To all
outward appearance the social init
macy is unruffled. --New York World.

/ contest on the part of some rats.
Lieutenant Needham, who passed by
/ the Ehlers' building on the way TO the
/ Police Station at about 3:45 a. m, SAYS
/ there were no signs of fire at that time
In talk with an old resident yes
terday the following points were learn
ed regarding the EhIers' building and
the time Immediately preceding this:
To the best Of my recollection, the
building was erected in 1857 by Captain
Hackfeld with H. Turton, "Bricklayer'
Thomas and others as the builders.
1t is of coral rock and a good solid
structure.
You see, it came about in this way.
The frame building now occupied by
the Aloha art gallery was at the time
the only one in the vicinity. In 1850
3. F. Ehlers was then clerking in the
dry goods store Of Captain Hackfeld
which was in that building.
las I say, the Ehlers' building was
put up in 1857 and B. F. Ehlers went
in q little later to take possession Of
it as owner.
I'm 1869 B. F. Ehlers retired and
went back to Germany and August
ness which he managed until retiring
a few years ago. He is now in Ger
many and H. Hackfeld is managing
the business
The stock consumed by the fire and
valued at about $35 900 was insured for
$40, 900 in the Transatlantic and North
German Insurance companies of Ham
burg of which II. Hackfeld e Co. are
the Honolulu agents.

it is too bad to have to record an ac-

nical engine company who was badly

applause. Beside and around him were
seated Messrs. J. B. Condor, D. M.

and others. An enthusiastic cam
paign song was first sung by the
glee club. Chairman L. E. Grove in
troduced Mr.. Williams IN a brief but
very pleasing speech of Introduction.
AS that gentleman advanced to the
front of the stage, he was greeted with
second ovation of applause.
Mr.. Williams began by saying he in
tended to be practical, and that he did
not desire to excite party prejudice.
For himself he claimed sincerity in an
honest belief. He would therefore ask
that his auditors divest their minds of
all party prejudice and view the matter
in a purely business light. For con-
venience he designated as ''sound
money! men those who proposed to
vote for VIM. Mckinley on the Republic
can platform, and as "free silver" men
those who would vote for W.. J. Bryan
upon the Democratic platform. The
sound money men were in favor of coin
age with just sufficient limitation to
preserve the parity of the two metals.
The sound money party has been in con-
troll of the government since the war.
Since 1878 this party has coined 40O,-
O00, 900 of silver dollars. During the
first eight months of the present year it
has coined 100000 and in the month
just past over 100000. Among those
who will suffer under free silver will be
depositors in banks. by depreciatlng
their deposits; among the sufferers,
also, will be the old soldiers, who are
asked by the party of Bryan to take
their pension dues in money worth less
than it is at present; and the same rule
applies to wage earners. The Demo-
cratic platform of 1892 is the same as the
Republican platform of 1896 on this
question, and Bryan's assertion that the
bullion value of silver would be raised
under free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer is only to presume upon the igror-
ance and stupidity of the people.
Mexico did not raise the value of silver

GEN. WILLIAMS SPEECH
THE MOST FORcIBLE OF THE
PRESENT CAMPAIGN.
He was One of the ..conspirators of
1s7s"--vindicates the Deceased U.
s.. Grant--Irresisttble Elo-
quence and wisdom.

The great speech of Hon. Geo. II.
Williams, ex-attorney- general of the
United States Saturday night may be
said to have idisarmed the opposition.
Knowing that the ablest speaker in the
state was to address our citizens that
evening, citizens CT all shades of po-
litical belief assembled at the opera
house, unmindful of the rain, and lis
tened to the cIearest exposition of Re-
publican doctrine so far produced in The
Dalles and probably in the state. Geo.
H. Williams has passed the 74th mile
stone of his earthly life. His services to
his country cover a long period.
Through peace and through war, through
prosperity and through adversity has he
wrought for the advancement of our
great republic, and the man is rever-
enced as no other in the state. His has
been the highest political honor ever be-
slowed upon the Pacific coast, and now,
full of years and with a reputation that
will increase in brightness as time elimi-
mates from memory all lesser lights, he
comes out, like Sampson of old, to make
a last Herculean stand in defense of the
principles of his lifetime. None can
measure the effect of the terrible on
slaught OF his language. All resistance
melted before the fire of his logic. His
speech made irreclaimably steadfast
those who already agreed with him,
drew to the Republican stronghold all
who were wavering in their belief, and
made serious inroads into the oppo-
sition.
The great demonstration of Saturday
night began at :15 O'Clock. At Repub-
lican headquarters all was activity.
The hall was lit by hundreds of torch
lights, each held by an enthusiastic
Republican. The parade formed in the
following order:
Commander ]. M. Patterson. and
aides, G. j. Farley, F. w. Wilson. Capt.
Levi Chrisman in command.
