ANDREWS FAYORS SILVER.
President of Brown University Says Tt
is Desirable.

Boston, Mass, July president E
Benjamin Andrews OF. Brown univer-
sity has addressed a letter to Stephen
W. Niclerson of this city in reply to
one addressed by him to Dr. Andrews,
asking for his position in regard to the
free coinage of silver. The letter is as
follows:
Brown University, Providence, June
%.
stephen W. Nickerson, Boston, Mass:
My Dear Sir-In yours of the goth
inst. after adverting to CeTnushis' lat
est position touching the policy Of the
United States in freely coming silver
at Is to 1 without waiting for an inter
national agreement, you ask. what if
any objection I would urge against this
policy.
In reply, that I would urge none.
The vast new output of gold in recent
years, as compared with that of silver,
impresses me that free coinage with Us
alone would not lead to the dispiace-
ment of gold, that therefore, free coin
age would be safe. If it is safe, it IS
certainly desirable. OF course, no one
can be absolutely certain that we could
proceed with silver free coinage and
yet retain our gold. I, therefore, do
not dogmatize- but leave that to gold
men. To my mind, however, the over
whelming probability is that gold would
stay with US I have noticed of late no
serious argument to show that it
would not. Cordially,
L. BENJAMIN ANDREWS.

and Also on the Rem onstrance.
Gen. J. c. Caldwell of the state board
of pardOns does not have a very lofty
opinion of petitions and he probably
has more to do with them than any
man in Kansas.
IAN example of what petitions do not
mean" said Gen. Caldwell to a Jour
nal reporter, is shown by the follow
ing circumstance: Some time ago there
was a petition from Leavenworth cOun-
ty for the, pardon of a young man who
had been convicted of a. murder. It
was a very serious crime, but the pc
tition for pardon was a long one and
contained among the other names that
of Senator Lucien Baker.
when the word reached Leavenworth
that a pardon had been asked for there
was a rush to secure a remonstrance
and in a short time one was sent in
much longer than The original petition
and among the names on the remon-
STRANGE was that of Senator Lucien Ba-
ker. So you see that our positions are
by no means easy"

SMALL SLEEVES AGAIN.
That is if American Women Follow
the French Style.

New York, July IA leading ladies'
tailor exhibits in his window a suit
with the new style of sleeves, which, it
is said, viii be worn next fall The
suit is made of cadet blue whip cord,
trimmed with black braid. The sleeves
are smaller than those of the regulation
male garment, and are covered at the
shoulder with epaulets. The costume
is of the tailor-made variety and is in
tended for street wear.
Large sleeves have now been in fash
ion for a half dozen years or SO, and
despite the thRusts of the humorist and
the ridicuIe of the carIcaturist have
completely Won the female heart.
The large style sleeve is one that is
we'll adapted to all kinds of figures. The
fat, the lean, the short and the tall, can
all wear large sleeves without detri-
ment to their general appearance,
while, on the contrary, the small sleeve
emphasizes every little defect of form
and figure.
