CHASTITY SKELETON IN ARMOR
GrueSome Relic of a Cruel Punish

There Is an uncanny relic of colonial
barbarity on exhibition at Colonial beach

The relic in question is a human SIX lie

The metal is nearly eaten away with tie

fallen from the rude easement The skull
and legs would require the services of

skeleton of man, who, in life. was over
six feet in height.
AS soon as the air came in contact with
the skeleton some OF the bones fell away.
The skull, however, remained firm in the

The frame or case in which the yrm

The Market for silver.

Louisville Courier-Journal gold DEM;
To what extent free coinage would i'm
prove the market for silver here can not
be stated with absolute confidence. Mr..
Bryan says it would raise the price of sill
yer bullion from &c to 129 cents an ounce,
but this is quite incredible. To whatever
extent, however 1t improved the market
H. would invite the importation of silver
In any event we should soon have glut
of silver in the market, for our own
mines produce a great deal. and after
things had settled down the price of sill
yer would decline. Meantime. however
there would probably have interviewed an
era Of wild speculation in silver bullion,
in which the lambs who ventured into
Wall street would be shorn, as usual.

so straight to glory.
And all over this fair and sunny land
of Mexico are tens of thousands Of
such homes and such women. They

Patriots at the Bond sale.

"Our treasury had been depleted of it's
gold in February, 1895. The bonds of this
government were then selling at 120 in
the market and the Rothschilds cabled
10 their agents. these same gentlemen,
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Belmont, that they
were prepared to furnish gold to the gov
eminent treasury. And Mr.. Morgan
thereupon proceeded to give terms to the
government for a loan of some 1862, 900, 600
and he named as the price of these bonds
not l27 cents on the dollar but 105 cents.
The government refused those terms
and was pressed to put out open bids
when. according to the testimony of Mr.
Morgan himself. he hurried on to Wash
ington, saw the officers of the govern
ment satisfied them that his house of
alone furnish the gold; that unless that
gold was bought upon their terms there
would be panic in the market and the
treasury would be bankrupted: at the
point of the pistol, you might say, the
government had to accept those outrage
GUS terms and take $62, 500, 0OO-$65 00O, 900
for bonds that were then selling for S75.-
100000 on Wall street, thereby fostering
upon the people OF this country a burden
of $10000,000 which they had extorted
from the government in it's time of need.
And those same bonds that they paid
los cents on the dollar for were given cut
in a few days to their co-conspirators
at 112. and the co-conspirators put them
on the market at the rate of 120.
And this is patriotism" (Applause.)

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

SINCE May 16 foundlings have beer
picked mp by the police in precinct.
contiguous to Central park, New York
city. An investigation has developed
the fact that nearly all the babies
were dressed alike, and it is be
lieved that the infants were aban'
doned by the same person, probably
the keeper of a baby farm in the
neighborhood. The authorities OF
Bellevue hospital have requested the
police to look into the matter and il
possible locate the ''farm."
The citizens of St. Louis have so far
declined all tenders of outside assis-
tance in caring for the hundreds OF
victims of the late storm, and will
make an heroic effort to accomplish
the gigantice work unaided. Should
the demands of humanity, however,
prove too great FOR their resources, they
will not hesitate to accept portion
of the help SO freely rendered from
all parts of the country.
The only positive action taken by
the republican senatorial caucus, on
the 10Th, was a vote by which it was
decided that the bill to refund the
debts of the bond-aided Pacific rail-
roads should be postponed until the
next session. 1t was the unanimous
opinion that adjournment would come
not later than June 8, and possibly
earlier.
No LESS than sixteen houses Of wor.
ship in the immediate neighborhood
of what was Lafayette park in st.
Louis, some of them costly and mag.
nificent edifices, were either demoT:
ished or badly wrecked by the great
cyclone. 1t is estimated that more
than quarter of million dollars will
be required to restore these churches
alone.

port, KY, overruled the motion for a

tion for stay of execution for 60 days
to enable the defendant to take the
case before the court of appeals.

An Awful Tragcdy.


At Cleveland. in the western part Of
Cass county, not far from the Kansas
state line, Mrs. Mary E. Frost drowned
her three children in a rain barrel and
then cut her own throat with razor.
The bodies were not discovered until
the next morning. The young victims
were Ella, aged six years; Carrie, aged
three years and six months,and Willie,
aged one year. The mother was evi-
dentallv demented, as no cause is
known for the deed. Her family re-
lations were satisfactory,sof far as any
one knew. This is the second family
the unfortunate husband and father,
Mark T. Frost, has lost. at one blow.
Only few years ago, on this Same
place, his wife and several children
were poisoned by drinking water from
a we'll on the premises in which some
poisonous ingredient had fallen by &C.
cident.
