MUST HAVE MONEY GOOD FOR ITS FACE VALUE
THE WORLD OVER.
Because all the great commercial nations
use gold standard, and we must have a
money good tor its face value the world
over. Because gold dollar, melted, is
worth 100 cents anywhere in the world,
while a silver dollar is only worth SO cents
Because all debts have been contracted in
gold or 100-cent dollars, which, under free
coinage of silver at 16 to l when the market
is 32 to l, could and would be paid in Scent
dollars. Because all values would be dis
turbed and panic Of the worst kind precipi-
tated. Because all of the 1000 600 ounces
in silver in the world worth only 50 cents
per ounce in the markets, could be brought
here ana made into a dollar which the
American people only could pass as a dollar,
and many other reasons.

and activity. In just that lay
all its possibilities of success.
This Trade Sale has no imita-

/. A Travelling Mans Yarn.

ATLANTA, GA, November IA
man who gives his name as Carroll,
representing q Western manufacturer
of dynamite, passed through here to-
day on his way from Cuba. .Ele went
over on the last trip which the flibus-
tering tug Dauntless made. He says
that she transferred her cargo to a.
fishing smack not far from the Cuban
coast. Carroll went on beard the
smack, and was landed at a point with-s;
in GO miles of Havana. He made his
way through the country to the caplt;
tai, seeing some of the insurgent lead.s
ers in the interior.
Carroll states that the insurgents
have standing offer Of 81 ,000 for. .egs
cry Spanish officer killes, and g, 0Ims l5as
for General Weylcr, dead alive * ss
company of sixty Texas Rangers, arIas;
ed with Sharps' needle rifles, carrying
wind gauges and telescope sights, are
in the field doing sharp-shooters' dusa
ty. Each Ranger is accompanied by
a native with field glass. The naS
tiyes scan the country for officers. and,
wherever one is found the Ranger
tries to drop him. The rife weighs
twenty eight pounds, and will kill a
man FIVE miles. These rewards ac-
count for the high death rate among
the officers. The insurgents spare the
Spanish common soldiers as much as
possible, believing the privates have
no feeling against them. But the reb-
els have determined to give the officers
no quarter.
Carroll said his information has:
been corroborated from another source
that the scat of tilibustering operations.
will be transferred from the South At...
lantic coast to the Gulf coast.

A Dog Orchestra.

It would seem as though the limit
was about reached in the Lavater's
Dog Orchestra, which is announced in
Mr.. Schoefels special vaudeville bill.
We are told that in this case collec-
tion of dogs is presented to US who
have graduated from the performing
of mere tricks, and have developed ex-
traordinary musical talents. And yet,
after all, it is only natural progress
sion in canine education; for many
dogs, who, by the grace Of good breed
ing and lofty canine parentage, have
been admitted to the preserve of the
"home circle" have been known to
show unmistakable signs of remarka-
Bile interest in singing or the playing
of piano-even to the raising of their
Gaming voices in weird tones.
These dogs are said to play various
instruments, and, hence, are truthful
ly billed as a dog orchestra. Their in
struments consist,>so the report says,
of violin, drums, cymbals, bass viol,
trombone and cornet. If this is true,
then the composer may try his opera
on the dog by giving the advance
sheets of his music to them to play!
However, we hardly presume that they
play at sight, though that may come
in due time.
A noteworthy feat that is promised
occurs right after the dogs have play
ed as brass band, and its members
have walked off the stage on their
hind legs. Three of the musicians,
the two drummers and the slide from
bone player, are brought on for their
special duty. To one of each dogs
forepaws is tied bell, and the trainer
disposcs enough others about his per-
son to make up musical scale. Two
of.the dogs stand at his left, the third
at his right, and the man begins the
tune with the bells in his charge. AS
the air reaches a note calling for one
Of the bells. the dog lifts his paw to
set his bell jangling. In this manner
the tune is played to its end, and the
dogs notes are struck in wonderfully
correct time. The two dogs at the
right have been described as plainly
soulful musicians, for their eyes are
kept on their leaders, face, their ex-
preston is eager, and their tails are
beating time. The third bell-ringer
has been criticized as hothouse pro-
duct. His head is low, his eye does
not brighten so much with the inspi-
ration, and when he lifts his paw it
only comes far enough from the floor
to ring the bell. But that is part OF
the effect.
Then there is poodle who plays a
piano. After playing his air through
he ends up with finale whose notes
arc before him in an open book. They
are nothing more than do-me-sol-do,
but he plays them with the air of a
pianist struggling with complicated
ending.

Mystery About this Air Ship.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 22.-That
successful air ship has been perfected
by an inventor in this city is borne
out by very good authority. Dozens
of persons have been found who have
seen the ship lowering about their
houses during several nights. The
air ship, however, is still surrounded
with the greatest mystery. The in
ventor cannot be found and The home
of the air ship is unknown. The
suppression of the inventor s name is
said by George D. Collins, who says
he is his attorney, to be due to the
fact that patents must be secured before
the mechanism becomes public prop
erty.
Information from many cities around
San Fra ecisco show that the ship has
been seen. The Sacramento CORES
pondent of a local paper telegraphs
that what was apparently large arc
light passed over that city at $50
o'clock this afternoon, going south
west. Thousands Of persons saw it.
This is the description given by
numerous other persons who have seen
the air ship. No observers have seen
the ship at close enough range to de-
scribe all the movements and its shape,
but many have recognized the outline
of cigar shaped vessel.
Concerning the inventor and his in
vention, Mr.. Collins, his attorney,
said: "It is true that there is at least
successful air ship, and California
will have the honor of bringing it be-
fore the world. I have known about
it some time, and have been acting as
attorney for the inventor. He is
very wealthy man, who has been
studying the subject of flying ma
chimes fifteen years. He came here
from Maine to perfect his experiments
away from the eyes Of other inventors.
During the last FIVE years he has ex-
pended 100000 on the ship.
application for a patent is now in
Washington, but few details can be
made public for fear the plan may be
stolen"
saw the machine one night last
week at the inventors home. 1t is
made of metal, $50 feet long, and is
built to carry fifteen persons. It has
two canvas wings, and rudder shaped
like birds wings. The inventor
climbed into the machine, and after
he had been moving some mechanism
for moment, began to ascend gently.
The wings tapped slowly as the ship
rose. They moved faster as the ma
chine began to move against the wind.
It was under perfect control all the
time.
"When it reached the height of
ninety feet the inventor shouted to
me that he was going to make series
of circles and then descend. He be-
gan by making a circle one hundred
yards in diameter. he gradually mar
rowed the circle until the machine was
within 30 feet OF the ground. Then
it fell straight down, gracefully, and
struck the earth lightly. In few
days the mystery will be done away
with. The inventor will fly the ma
chine dirictly over San Francisco in
broad daylight. I cannot yet tell
where the ship is housed, or who the
inventor is, for I am pledged to
secrecy; but the fact is that the ma
chine does it's work perfectly, and will
astound the world when displayed for
public inspection. "---Neao YORK; Herald.

One Million Dollars O Day.

The daily expenditures of New
Workers, as detailed in arecent article
in the Herald, may be summarized in
81 very small space and will Be found
extremely interesting.
We spend S1,OOO,OOO, more or less,
every day in the year for few COM
forts and a great many luxuries. This
sum has no relation to house rent or
to the butcher, the baker, the candle
stick maker or to tailors or dressma-
kers bills.
1t costs US $21, 900 daily to put milk
and cream into our coffee, andin order
to produce the $4,000 quarts herd
OF 100000 COWS must be housed and
fed.
We eat each day 100000 pounds of
meat of all kinds and something near
100000 pounds of bread. That is
$4,000 worth of one and 100000
worth of the other.
We spend close upon $4,000 day
for the privilege of either having
seat in the street cars or holding on
to the straps thereof. Those who can
afford to take cab pay out $4,000
for the pleasure of doing so.
We pay $4,000 day to be shaved,
$500 for our "shine," and, wonderful
and woful to relate, 5000 for chewing
gum.
For the liquor and wine we drink
We expend about s140,0OO a day,
which, multiplied by 365, makes
snug little sum. OF course we smoke,
and it is safe to say that our tobacco
costs US $500 from every breakfast
time to midnight.
We do not leave any too much at
the box Offices of the theatres-only
100000 per day-and we always get
more than our money s. worth.
We are also fond of "chips," and
the fun we have with them causes
$50, 1000 each night to drop from the
pocket of the loser into that of the
winner.
There you have short history of
every twenty-four hours in this great
and glorious metropolis.-Nco York

A Keen RetOrt.

General Jubal Early was as keen
sometimes with his tongue as he was
with his sword for the Southern Con.
federacy. The Pittsburg Dispatch
illustrates this by the following Incl,
dent:
In the summer Of 1877 General Ju-
bal A. Early was guest at the Ar.
lington Hotel, Hot Springs, Ark.
Among the other notables stopping
there was the somewhat famous ex-
Governor Stearns, of Florida, who had
been recently appointed by President
Hayes commissioner to adjust the
claims of citizens of Hot Springs who
had improved real estate which was
afterward decided to belong to the ma
tional government. One day the two
gentlemen, who had no personal ac,
quaintance, met in the hotel office.
General Early" said Stearns, po.
litely, ''you ought to be willing to
shake hands with me. You owe me
an arm," and he indicated his empty
sleeve.
"How is that, Governor?' queried
Early, at the same time extending his
hand.
IT lost that arm in the cause of the
Union at Winchester, where you com
manded the Confederate army"
';Indeed," responded the general
suavcly, as he stroked his long gray
beard, and slightly Strengthened his
bent figure. You musn't blame me
for that. I always instructed my men
to do their duty; but somehow the
rascals would blundcr." "
The future intercourse of tie two
gentlemen was limited to Il passing
bow.

Price Of Live Animals.

An interesting catalogue was recent
ly published by Hagenback, Of Ham
burg, and the real price Of menagerie
can be pretty closely estimated by this
price list. BE quotes a hippopotamus
at 81, 500, an African rhinoceros from
s2,OO5 to $4,000; female elephants,
according to age, $4,000 to 81, 800; male
elephants, with tusks two feet long,
$4,000; pair of African lions, from
the Sahara only, $1,000; Nubian
lioness, $500; a trained group of wild
animals, consisting Of two pairs Of
Nubian lions and two male Bengal IT,
gers, 1000; a female Bengal tiger,
$3.50; pair of Sumatra tigers, 81 500;
a pair of jaguars, $3.50; female Jap
anese leopard, with a cub, $500; an
African male leopard, $3.50; a black
panther, s400; pair of full-grown
wolves, $50: a gnu, 5000; a. large male
Polar bear, $500; large brown bear,
$50; pair of zebras, $3.50; an alliga-
tor, ten feet long, $50; a boa-constric-
tor, twenty-three feet long, $500; a
Somali ostrich, SITS; pair of Borneo
apes, 500, and a baboon, s25.
The greatest increase in price from
former lists is in the case of the gi-
raffe, male specimen Of which is now
worth $1,000, while only two years
ago such specimen might have been
had for $500 or $3.50.

Each Mans Share Of the Globe.

There is no immediate prospect that
the landed surface of the globe will be
divided up.and allotted in equal shares
to each of its human inhabitants, but
if such a time ever does come it will
be found that each will get little
truck farm of 234 acres. The landed
surface of the globe contains as near
as it is possible for the geogrophers to
ascertain, 33, 600, 1000, 600 acres, which,
divided among the 100000, 900 in
habitants which the world contains
(according to the latest official esti-
mates) would give each of them a
tract of land Of the area mentioned
above.
Taking the entire population Of the
world into consideration there are al
most exactly % inhabitants to each
square mile. The following figures
showing the number of persons (omit-
ting fractions) to square mile in the
several divisions of the globe are from
the best authorities on human family
statistics: Europe, SO; Asia, 46; Af-
rica, IS; North America, 9: South
