PLEADING FOR GOLD.
The Festive New Englander Becomes
Extremely PatriOtic--W Working
His End Well.

Boston, June 16.--The National Busi-
ness Mems league, an organization with
headquarters in this city and including
in its mem mbership some of the strongest
business men in the east, has just issued
an address favoring sound money and
calling upon the delegates to the two
great political conventions to work for
this result. Copies will be distributed in
st. Louis and Chicago. 1t says in part:
Gentlemen: In behalf of the business
OF the entire country, this organization,
which is non-partisan, and has mem
bership in nine states, respectfully calls
to your attention the following facts
The battle between sound finance and
destructive imitation must be fought dur
ing the incoming administration. The
people can't afford to permit this crisis
to be met by uncertain expressions as to
the policy of the incoming adminstra-
tion. The nations credit must be main
tained at whatever cost to party organi-
cations or personal predictions. 1t is
not question of partisanship; it is a
matter of governmental necessity and
national honor. Sound money is the
cans.
"Shall this, the wealthiest of all nations,
humiliate itself among its competitors
and rivals in commerce and manufac-
lures with the consent of the peoples
while we do not express or attempt
to bring to your notice any choice as to
the selection of the nominee of either of
the great national conventions, we do
most respectfully urge upon you the im-
portance of inserting in the two national
platforms an unmistakable adherence to
principles of sound finance, to which
your nominees, whoever they may be,
shall stand as the policy of administra-
tion outlined by their parties"
The address Is signed by several hun
dred merchants, whose names are all
widely known throughout the CONNER
cia would

Platform Makers at Work.

St. Louis, June 16.-Foraker will prac-
tically have the details of the organiza-
tion of the committee on resolutions per-
fected when the committee first meets.
He has assigned the preparation of the
financial plank to Patterson, of Illinois:
Lauterbach, of New York, and Teller, OF
Colorado.
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, will be made
chairman of subcommittee to deal
with foreign affairs and charged especial.
ly with the preparation of the oonven-
tion's expression on Cuba.
THE PROPOSED NEW YORK PLANK.
The plank on finance, with the amend
ment proposed by New York would read:
"The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. 1t caused the enact
ment of the law providing for the resump-
tion of specie payments in 1879. Since
then every dollnr has been as good as
gold. We are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase our
currency or impair the credit of our
country. We are opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver except by in
ternational agreement, and until such
agreement can be obtained we believe the
existing gold standard should be pre-
served. We believe that all obligations,
either in currency or paper, issued by the
government, shall be payable in gold
coin, and we favor all measures designed
to maintain inviolably the money of the
United States, whether coin or paper,
at the present standard, the standard of
the most enlightened nations of the
EARTH"
CALIFORNIA FOLLOWS TELLER.
The California delegation met to-day.
prior to proceeding to the convention,
and, on motion of Congressman johnson,
decided by rising, unanimous vote to
stand out for the free, unlimited coinage
of silver to the last, and to follow Teller
in all things on the financial question,
stopping short only OF walking out of the
convention hall.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, will
present resolution for the coinage of
the American silver product.

test at Fleetwood.
5000 People Cheer Gentry on
to Victory.
THE RECORD.
Makes the Three Heats In
1908 3.4, 2:O3 IA, 2 :OS IA.
Finishes We're Sensational and
Neck and Neck.

New York, Sept. BIN the presence
of 5000 at Fleetwood park yesterday
VIM. Simpsons pacing stallion, John
r. Gentry, defeated Robert J., Frank
Agan and Star Pointer in the fastest
harness race on record, the gallant lit
tie son of Ashland Wilkes stepping the
first heat in 2:O3sl, the second in 2:03A
and the third in 2:O314. All the finishes
were very close and exciting, and the
contest was from every point of view
a great one
Marvellous is the only word which de-
scribes the performances of John r.
Gentry. The day was too chilly to
favor fast time and a stiff breeze re-
tarded the horses in the home stretch.
Fleetwood, ever a. fast track, was in
good condition, although not quite at
It's best, the soil giving in place to the
flying feet of the flying PAGERS.
Gentry got two lengths the worst of
the send off in the first heat and he
trailed the leaders while Robert J. and
Frank Agan went after the lead quar-
tiers pole Robert J. made a break
near the Point of Rocks in the third
quarter, leaving Agan in the lead, but
John R. Gentry came on at a terrific
burst of speed and beat him a short
neck in the drive to the wire. The
second heat was a repetition of the
first, except that Robert J. broke be-
fore reaching the first turn and Agan
was three lengths in the lead at the
nome Slfetcn Wnen Andrews made his
drive with Gentry. Like an arrow the
little stallion came and cut down the
gelding's lead, winning in the last
stride by a. neck.
In the last heat Gentry got away on
even terms with the others and he was
never headed. The pace was terrific all
the way. This time Agan had a bag
on Gentry's shoulder from start to
finish, while Robert J. was an even
length behind for the heat. 1t was a
rousing, killing struggle to the wire,
and the three great PAGERS were neck
apart at the finish, but little Gen
try's nose was there first, in 2: 035A, and
the greatest harness race on record
was his. Summarizes:
Free for all class, pacing, champion
ship purse, $4,000, John r. Gentry won
in straight heats. Time, 2:03%, 2:03A
2:03A; Frank Agan second, Robert ].

DIR. MITCHELL'S MISTAKE.
Called a Case Of Diphtheria "Acute
Laryngitis" There is Fuxni-
cation.

The police station, the police officers
and the prisoners have been exposed to
diphtheria and today a thorough fumi-
cation of the WOmen's ward at the city
Jail is being made.
Tuesday Police MatrOn Thorpe
brought Mrs. A. Lane to the station and
told the taller that the woman was
sick. The woman was suffering with a
sore throat and a fever. City Physician
Mitchell was called and examined the
patient. He pronounced the disease
acute Iaryngitis and notified Poor Com
missioner Hale. The latter had her
removed to the county hospital at the
poor farm. County Physician Howard
attended her there, and he prOnOunces
the disease diphtheria- He says that
all necessary precautions are being
taken at the county poor farm to pre-
vent the spread of the disease.
At the city Jail where the woman was
put, and where she stayed all night, a
thorough fumigatiOn is being made.
The police attempted to conceal the
fact that they were fumigating for
diphtheria. Several of the officers have
been exposed to the disease and all the
eighteen prisoners.
Mrs. Lane is a domestic. She has
one child, who is now at the Orphans,
home Her illness is not considered
dangerous, but the fact that she has
diphtheria and has occupied quarters in
the city Jail makes the officers I'M
easy.

st. Paul, Sept. 3.-The report of Ad-

The report of my predecessor showed
that June 80, 1895, our membership in
good standing was 357 639 distributed
among 1903 posts, with 49, 800 members
on the suspended list, making a total
of 407, 239 on the rolls.
June 80, 1885, there were 1902 posts.
containing $40, 610 comrades in good
standing, with 1851 carried on the
rolls as suspended.
The gains were: Muster in, 49, 467;
transfer, 5,418; reinstatement, 13, O95; de-
linquent reports, 4,901; total, Sc, S81

than ever before. Long as the observ-
ance is kept in all of its genuineness
and purity, not given up to frivolity
and amusement it will impart to all q
truer sense of the obligation resting
upon you as citizens. In honoring our
dead we increase our devotion to the
living, leading US to nobler deeds of
fraternity and charity that shall warm
the cold, clothe the naked and feed the
hungry.
This administration inherited from
the former one the unsettled question
of the organization of a cOlored post at
Austin, Texas, over the protest of the
department of Texas. The application
for muster, however, was withdrawn.
If this action had not been taken and
the applicants were worthy of mem
bership in our order, the post would
have been mustered. I shall never
forget that the only men who aided
rebel prison had black faces. This is
a serious problem in southern depart
mentS but no honorably discharged vet
eran should be Disseminated against
on account of color of his skin. There
must be other and valid reasons for his
rejection.
1.-THE subject of the history of our
country, especially that part that re-
lates to the period of the war for the
Union is one that consider of the ut
most Importance and I can think of no
more useful or patriotic work for this
great organization of ours to enceur-
partment such histories are used in the
schools as properly reflect the spirit
and loyalty and justly record the ser
vices of our comrades, the soldier citi-
zens of the land.
1.-The report of Comrade Henry H.
Adams, chief aide in charge of military
instruction in public schools shows that
great interest is being created in that
branch of our work. I believe this
work should be vigorously prosecuted.
we are. called upon by the sacred
memories Of the past in view of our
needs and suspicious hopes to cherish
a lofty faith in the republic. We must
nave courage to meet our difficulties.
We must remember that we have out
grown the past and that we have en-
tered upon a new and higher national
life. There need be no Tancor nor need
less recriminatiOn. We must be inspir-
ed by hope. We must stand together
We must forgive and forget. We must
rub out old animosities and take fresh
unstained parchment fit to receive the
ideas and lessons of later times We
must carry hopeful hearts and cheer
full brows. We must fill the veins of
education and the organization of in
dustry with the spirit of liberty regu-
lated by law. We must mould the life
of the nation by the force of great
moral ideas and rule through the 10y
atty of principle which can never be
uncrOWned."
