pnilanthropic natives plunged into the
sea, rescued the castaways like good
Samaritans, and then killed and cooked
them.
Harrison spent ten days at Rubiana
with Charles Atkinson, an Englishlnan
who had been there eight years and
thought he knew the treacherous natives
well. Atkinson was very kind to Harri-
son and the young Chicagoan was shown
the sights of the island by the natives.
Atkinson urged Harrison to remain and
accompany him on his next trading trip
and Harrison was nearly persuaded to do
so. His companion, B. F. Hammersley
of Philadelphia, prevailed upon him to
go on, however, and the act undoubted-
~ saved Harrisons life, for few weeks
later the natives killed Atkinson while
he was asleep and ate him.
William Preston Harrison was born in
1869 and was graduated from Chicago
university in 1887. He then accompa-
MED his father On a tour Of the globe,
spending 1 8 months in Asia and Europe.
In 1889 he and his brother, Carter 81.
Harrison, j., embarked in the real es-
tate business and later he became bust
ness manager Of the Chicago Times.

ST. LOUIS Post Dispatch: The mono
metallists, high and low, treat free silver
coinage as if it were a new thing, never
heard of before-a radical scheme to dis
turb values. impair contracts aud repudi-
ate one-half of all honest dsbts-a semi
anarchical attack on the rich-a cunning
proposition to rob creditors for the pur-
pose of relieving debtors. The answer
to this is that the free silver coinage
cause is, not to make a new and cheap
metal money, but to restore an old one.
1t is not a proposition to defraud the
creditor, but one to protect the debtor
from being defrauded. It is not a scheme
to introduce something hitherto I'M
known and untried, but to go back to
something well known and tried, which
was surreptitiOusly taken from the peo-
PIE twenty-five years ago.

Indifferent assortment Of great poets at
the present time. The death of Tenny-
son, however, created a demand for poet
laureate timber, and Austin, who is said
to be better courtier than poet, was
chosen to stop the gap. There were bet

Swinburne and William Morris, but
Swinburne is very democratic in his
views and a trifle unconventional in
matters of morality, while Morris is an

due his present elevation.

The Animal Attends q Shop and 1t Is
Hard to Cheat Him.
August Albert, an enterprising baker
doing business down near the French
market, in New Orleans owns an intelli-
gent dog, Fifne, that keeps her masters
shop for him. Albert has a little bake
room behind the shop, and as he always
gives his personal attention to the oven
Filne proves invaluable in waiting upon
customers. The dog carries strapped about
her neck little bank whose slot is ar
ranged to receive nothing more or less
than nickel.
The customer may help himself to q loaf
from tho counter, hut woe betide one who
tries to depart without depositing the re-
quisite nickel in Fifine's bank. If more
than one loaf is taken, an equal number
of deposits must be made in the bank, or
Fifne will know the reason why. She
knows very well how to use her teeth in
case of necessity, though she is usually as
mild as lamb and quite favorite with
her customers, but if her master should be
needed she has only to pull the bell rope
which communicates with the bakeroom,
and he is on tho spot.
Occasionally an ugly customer comes
along. The other night, for instance, a
tramp tried to work Fiflne for supper,
but the dog grabbed his ankle as he was
making for the door without the formal
ity of a deposit, pulled the bell and kept
him safe and sound till Albert appeared
and O policeman could be summoned.

situation as is evidenced by the follow
ing from its editorial columns:
This arrogant money power. blinded
by selfishness and pride of wealth, will
do we'll not to force the issue. For if the
issue is joined the end is sure. The peo-
pie will triumph. And if it should seem
to the people, the millions of New Eng
land and the Middle states, the tens of
millions of the already passionately in
dignant south aud the great west that
the inevitable alternative forced upon
them by this ring is either government
by secret Wall street syndicates or free
silver, they will choose free silver. The
American people will never consent to
the virtual control of their government
by Wall street. And there are tens of
thousands of honest sound money men
who, when compelled to choose between
the two evils, will however reluctantly,
rather submit to free silver than to rule
By the Wall street money power.
If the World will open its eyes little
wider it will see that the condition
herein outlined is already upon US and
that those who honestly favor sound
money are already in the free silver
camp and they do not consider that it
involves any act of submission.

PURSUED BY A svENGALI
Brownie Maid Kept Under Ba1eful Innu-
ence Until Frustrated.

Brownie Maid Kept Under Baleful Innu-
ence Until Frustrated.
Du Maurier's creation of "Trilby" is a
stern reality in the Brownies company,
and Miss Beatrice Moreland, >. a petite bru-
qette, is the victim. Her case has puzzled
the doctors, and as a result the young
woman is now Frustrated from hypnotic
experiences and in a serious condition in a
hotel at Cleveland.
A peculiar feature of her case is that
she has never conversed with the wander
ing SvengaH who exercises such absolute
control of her, and who follows her from
place to place. Her first experience with
this powerful agent was in Bridgeport,
Conn. She noticed tall, well dressed
man in the front row during the first act.
His piercing black eyes were fixed upon
her, and she was powerless to resist their
subtle charm. She moved as in a dream.
She burst into tears on the stage and had
to be carried to her dressing room. Later
she packed few things, walked nechan-
ically to the depot, boarded a train and
went to New York.
Her mysterious disappearance excited
columns of comment in the New York pa
pers Tho spell did not wear off for a
month, when she rejoined the company at
Springfield. When the company played at
Chicago, Miss Moreland had presentiment
that her Svengali was in the house. She
was nervous and refused to go on with
her act. But she finally did, and had been
on the stage but a few moments when she
became historical and was carried to her
dressing room.
This same thing was repeated at Gin
cinnati, and although Miss Moreland
played one night in Cleveland she has been
unable to appear since, being SO Frustrated
from the recent shocks that she is confined
to her bed.
Manager Mayer of the Brownies said:
"Miss Moreland has been with Us three
years and is of our best girls. Every
effort is being made to apprehend the
scoundrel who follows her around and has
such power over her. ''-Chicago Times
Herald.

Irrigation Plays an Important Part
I'm the Plan, which is Partly Social
isfic.
A new colonization scheme for Amer
leans has been proposed that appears to
be entirely practical, and that is inter
esting at least. The promulgator is Will
liam E. Smythe, who is well and favor
ably known throughout the west as the
editor of The Irrigation Age.
Mr.. Smythe's plan is somewhat So
cialistic and somewhat cooperative, but
is not wholly Of either nature. He pro-
poses, in brief, to found farm village
somewhat ON the order of many that
now exist in Europe. He has selected as
a site for the proposed colony ranch Of
10, 600 acres located in the Sacramento
valley in northern California. The prop
erty was very valuable in the days when
wheat raising was profitable, but since
this market has failed the land has de-
preciated because other crops cannot be
raised there on account of lack of irriga-
tion. Mr.. Smythe proposes to cut canals
through from the Sacramento valley and
reclaim this almost arid land.
In the center of this tract 500 acres are
to be set aside for village. The rest is
to be cut up into 30 and 10 acre farms.
Each purchaser of farm is to be given
