THEY WERE EASY.
OF Course They We're From MassiiIon
and Got F1eeced.

Akron, July l. -(Special.)- John
Coons and William Miller, of Massillon,
came to Akron Tuesday evening with a
man who said his name was John Sin
CLAIR. They were on pleasure bent, Sim
clair having induced the boys to join an
excursion party he was to conduct in a
pleasure yacht, which would leave Lorain
for tour Of the lakes today. The fellow
took the boys to supper with him at a
restaurant and quickly finishing the re-
past, said they should give him their
money and he would secure tickets.
Each gave him $50. He didn't come
back. They waited several hours, but
still he did not come. They at last re-
ported the matter at police headquarters
and this morning took advice that was
given them and returned home. No
trace Of their friend" can be found.

RECEIVING PRESENTS.
Mckinley Admirers Do Not Spare Ex-
pense When Announcing Ale
glance to the Candidate.

A very pretty and graceful gift was
made to Mrs. William Mckinley when
General Joseph Terrence, of Chicago,
sent her tine beautiful gold badge studded
with diamonds which he has worn for
two years as symbol of his fealty to the
cause of her husband The badge has
been admired by many of General Tor
rence's friends and it was at the sugges-
tion of Mark Hanna that it was presented
to Mrs. Mckinley. The general has
ordered duplicate which is now being
made.
"I'll tell you just how that came
about" said General Terrence last night

COL. FELLOWS ON FREE SILVER.

These are the words of Colonel John
X. Fellows, the great Tammany orator:
There's no use trying to head off this
free silver movement. 1t will spread
over New York State itself, like some
white simoom of finance. Seven up.
country ia 'mers out of ten are for free
silver l6 tol, in New York right now.
This cry for free silver amounts to re-
volution. I'm going to Chicago and I'm
going to fight for gold, but it will be
planting and no fruit, sowing and no
harvest, save the harvest of disappoint-
ment. Free silver, l6 to /, will carry

There was considerable excitement In
Court street last night about II O'Clock.
A man giving the name Of McFadden,
of Youngstown, in company with two
friends, were In the Leader restaurant at
the hour named. A tall man with
dainty fingers and far-away look in his
eyes, entered the restaurant and after dis
posing of half the free lunch, edged his
way up to McFadden and quietly explored
that gentleman's pockets. One of Nc
Fadden's companions, seeing the fellow
in the act, sprang forward and dealt the
thief blow that staggered him. The
fellow, seeing the game was up, ran out
on Court street and started down the
street on the jump. At Seventh street he
was overtaken, but he put up too good
fight, and breaking away from his captors,
he again ran like deer, east on Seventh
street. At the corner of Market street,
Charles Goodman, of the city hall, over
took him. The fellow was too big for
Goodman to tackle sin9le-handed but
with good judgment the athletic janitor
ran up to the fleeing man and poking one
Of his "Trilbys" in front of the pick
pocket that individual turned half
dozen somersaults ana realizing he had
struck something awful, he remained
passive until officer Hasler arrived, and
he was locked up. The action of Mr.
Goodman in tripping the man, no doubt
prevented the escape of q daring crook
The man arrested for alleged pocket
picking gave his name as James L.
Homer of Pennsylvania. He pleaded
guilty to the charge and was fined So and
costs and sent to tho workhouse for ten
days.

on Saturday, referred to such men as

SENATOR Hill was true prophet when
he said just before the adjournment of
Congress, that there would be no tariff
legislation by either the fifty, fourth or
the fifty fifth Congress, although it was
not so apparent then as it has been since
the formal withdrawal from the Repubi-
can party of four Senators. During the
session of Congress just closed the Re.
publicans lacked one of having MAORI

them lack five and make it reasonably
certain that there will be no tariff legisla-

ments last year were Sal ,3J5,220.
Every one of these dollars was worth
100 cents and equal to dollar in gold.
If the policy of the Chicago platform
and party should be made effective by
legislation, every dollar thereafter re-
ceived by pensioner would be worth
only SO cents. 1t would be called dol
lar, but in the purchase of pension
er's supplies it would go only SO far :
SO cents go now. The buying power OF

would not waste time advocating the
restoration of the unlimited coinage OF

tors who agree in prescribing big doses
of sixteen to one pills, but widely disa-
gree as TO the results OF the medicine.

1T is true confesses he silver men,
that the bullion value of the metal in
o silver dollar is only SO cents. But put
the government stamp on it by free
coinage and you will raise the value of
il TO 100 cents"
Senator John T.. Jones, of Nevada,
one of the most conspicuous and most
able of all the silver advocates, speak
ing on April /, 1874, said: The value
Of gold is not affected 10y the stamp of
the government"
Everyone who has considered the
subject knows that this latter state
ment is true. The metal in gold dol
lar is worth exactly 100 cents, whether
il be stamped by the government or not.
Melt the dollar and run it into any other
form and it's value remains unchanged.
If the stamp of the government does
not change the value of one metal, is it
reasonable to suppose it would change
that of another? Can il do any more
for silver than il does for gold? No.
The stamp of all the governments in
the world cannot make 50 cents worth
of silver worth 100 cents any more
than they can make silk purse out of o
how's ear.-Exchange.
