New York, Sept. I3.-Ex Lieutenant
Governor William F. Sheenan yester-
day sent a lengthy statement of his
views and attitude in the campaign to
Mr. Joseph B. Mayer of Buffalo. Mr.
Mayer is a prominent democrat in his.
city. and was one O. the delegates to the
Chicago convention last Jnne. syn
opsis of Mr. Sheehans communication
is here given;
"New York, Sept. II, 1896.
Joseph B. Mayer, Esq, Buffalo, y. Y.
"Dear Sir-RePlying to your recent
letter of inquiry as to my attitude in
the present campaign, I beg leave to
say:
"The proceedings of the recent Chi
cago convention were unparalleled in
democratic history. Radicalism and
not patriotism dominated its course.
The guiding and in large measure the
controlling spirits of that body were re-
publican United Ststes senators-men
whose votes made it possible to engraft
upon the statute of this country the OBJ
iectionable and disastrous Mckinley
law. When before were -ribbe re-
publican protectionists given in dem
ocratic convention, seats of honor and
per.Litted TO dictate and shape the pol
icy of our party' The patriotic advice
of men who had grown ray in demo
cratic service was spurned and the judg-
ment of these new-found apostles of an
un democratic creed was enthusiastically
accepted"
After reviewing the official acts of the
convention and its platform in terms
as scathing as any that have been used
by others in the same vein, Mr.. Sheehan
continues:
democratic principles took root with
the birth of the republic; they are as
sound and lofty today as they were
when first expounded by Jefferson. AID
democrats should give their hearty sup
port to candidates who stand upon a
platform WEIGH reaffirms and upholds
these principles But when these prin-
CT lies are abandoned and set aside. and
new doctrines at variance with national
honor and national progress are adopted
90 we not cease to be democrats if We
fail to rcpudiate that which is unpatri-
otic and immoral'

Washington, Sept. IS.-Secretary Car
Isle, from his summer retreat in Bar
Harbor, Maine, has addressed to one of
his Kentucky correspondents the fol-
lowing letter ~ hich is this day made
public:
"Mr James P Helm,
louisville:
"My Dear Sir-Your letter asking
how the silver dollars which contain a
quantity of bullion commercially worth
only about 50 cents each are maintained
at parity with gold Notwithstanding
the fact that the government does not
directly redeem them or the certificates
issued upon them in gold, is received
and as a great many inquiries upon this
same subject are addressed to me daily
from different parts of the country,
which it is impracticable to answer in
detail, will take advantage of your ia.

from the minis since the passage of the

property and services of all kind AID re-
eived from the people at parity with

Sir Michael Biddulph has been a
groom in waiting to the queen since
1879 and keeper of the regalia at the
tower since 1891. He will vacate these
offices, both of which are the gift of
the queen. A groom in waiting gets
1882 a year, and he is at court for about
three weeks in the year on am ayerage.
The place is held for life, or until q
demise of the crown. The salary Of the
keeper of the regalia is about 1850 a
wear. and he has an excellent furnished
house as an official residence This is
post which ought to be conferred
upon some officer of real distinction;
but it will probably be jobbed away

HIS KINDNESS REPAID.
An Old Woman Gives Her Benefactor,
Brooklyn Man, 100000.

An Old Woman Gives Her Benefactor, .
Brooklyn Man, 100000.
About four years ago Henry Lewis,
a confectioner, who lives with his wife
and six children at So Floyd street,
Brooklyn, e. D., found an old woman
sitting on the stoop OF his house, says
the New York Recorder. She was poor
ly dressed and evidently without
friends. As she showed evidence Of Gull
ture he invited her to his home. She
accepted and Mrs. Lewis refused to let
her CO.
The old woman remained with them
until six months ago, when Lewis found
it difficult matter to support his FAM
lily. Then she told him she would not
continue to be burden on them and
insisted on going to the poorhouse at
Flatbush, where she remained until q
few weeks ago, when she returned to
the Lewises.
She had gone away comparatively a
pauper, but returned worth 100000,
which she has turned over to Lewis for
his kindness in taking her in and car
ing for her when she was without d
friend.
The peighbors all know of Lewis
good luck On Tuesday he started for
the surrogate's Office in Brooklyn to lay
claim to the fortune, which had been
left by brother of the old woman.
The discovery that she was heir to the
money was made when the surrogate
of San Francisco inquired for her
through the Brooklyn surrogate and it
was discovered that she was an inmate
OF the poorhouse.
A reporter called at Lewis house last
night, but found that all the family, in
Guiding the old woman. had gone to a
reception at some relatives house. All
the neighbors declared that they had
heard of Lewis good luck and were sat
isfied Of its truthfulness. None of them
could remember the name of the old
woman, who they said, intended maxi
ing her home with Lewis until she died.

Social Revolution.

Ours is crucial period of history. We
are on the eve Of great revealments
and achievements. General Booth
lately said that the Goth century in all
probability would usher in world
wide revolution for the people. The
common people were waking to realize
their power and to use it as well as to
realize it. He is not alone in the belief
that we are ON the edge of great po
litical and social revolution. Men who
study the social problems of our day
speak of the impending revolutions as
an assured fact. 1t is possible that we
are on the very eve of this process Of
purification.-Rev J. B. Silcox, Congre-
gationalist, Chicago, Ill.

HOW TO TALK WELL.
Pleasant and Intellectual Conversatis
Useful and Valuable.

Pleasant and Intellectual Conversation
Useful and Valuable.
The power of originating and taking
part in pleasant and intellectual con-
versation is most useful and valuable
gift, which is worthy of cultivation and
should by no means be neglected by
persons possessing education and cul-
ture. Agreeable conversation is really
one of the pleasantest pleasures we
have and the man or woman who talks
we'll on variety of subjects and is not
only possessed of opinions but also the
power to express them in well chosen
language, without either affectation or
pedantry is sure to be welcome guest
In any society.
Tho power of conversation gives con-
fidence to it's owner, who is therefore
at ease, and is admired as being bright
and clever even in the company Of
she is accustomed to associate with.
Reading makes full man, writing
an exact man and conversation ready
man." says Bacon. To qualify oneself
for enjoyment of the society of the cul-
tured and refined it is necessary to
have some knowledge Of the arts and
sciences, of standard authors and of
current literature and events. Persons
who question intelligently and who lis
ten carefully will learn much.
Talking of oneself and gossip of all
sorts should be avoided, for the general
effect is to bore the company and make
oneself unpopular. A golden rule as to
the subject of conversation is to
choose one which will interest your
reader. You may have an all absorb
ing hobby but do not air it unless you
think it is equally interesting to your
companion, or, no matter how cleverly
you talk, you will utterly fail to give

Telephone IN Fridge Cars.

Brooklyn brigde officials are await
ing with considerable interest the re-
suit of an experiment with telephones
which is likely to result in their adop-
ton for permanent use on the structure.
The aim of the new plan is to per-
nit telephoning from the cars in mo-
ton to the train dispatcher's office at
the Brooklyn end OF the bridge by a
wire which runs up the side of the car
to the roof. An ordinary battery is
used, and the scheme, If pronounced
thoroughly practicable, will be found
of great value, particularly in case Of
accidents, when warning can be sent
back almost Immediately.

KEEPS THE MONEY CLEAN.
No Old or Defaced Bills Paid Out b,
the Bank OF England.


the Bank OF England.
II the people really knew how many
persons had caught some sort of dis
ease from handling paper money which
had previously been in the possession Of
sufferers from some contagion, they
would demand a radical change in the
policy Of the government toward old
greenbacks and bank notes, says the
Bankers Monthly. The treasury de-
partment has subtreasuries in the larg-
er cities of the country, through which,
to a large extent, the currency of the
country passes. These institutions take
in the small bills of their respective
cities and regions during a part of the
year and pay them out at other times,
according as the convenience OF the
banks require Now the rule should be
that no subtreasury should pay out to
banks or others any but brand-new
greenbacks, and that the national bank
notes which have been in use should be
replaced by new ones. The banks pay
the government enough SO that, as a
mere matter OF commercial business,
this policy toward their notes should be
adopted. But whether that was so or
not, this fresh-bill policy should be
adopted and maintained
1t is a uniform rule with the Bank of
England that none but absolutely new
bills can go out over it's counter. No
matter if the bill has not the slightest
marks Of use. If it once gets back into
the bank it never goes out again The
rule is inflexible and is carried out
faithfully The United States treasury
| should do as much for the American
people as that bank does for the people
of Great Britain. The cost to the bank
of new bill is precisely half penny
OF course this amounts to a good deal OF
money each year, but not enough to be
an appreciable factor in the general
business of the bank.

Il never shall forget an incident

Cincinnati meat packer to an Atlanta

and think they called it state fair.
At any rate, it was big thing for the
town in those days. They had some
fine stock on exhibition and Pennsyl

the finest looking hogs you ever saw.
They were mostly Chester Whites, and

years ago. He it was who introduced
that famous breed of hogs, the Chester

blue ribbons that each hog looked like
boy who had spent all his money
making collection of badges.
When the Macon judges made their
awards they gave blue ribbons very
| literally to the razor-backs, but not
one of the fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs
got prize. The owner of the exhibit
did not understand it, so he hunted up
one of the judges and said, in the Ian
guage of the Friends:
al know thee to be an honest man
and do not question thy fairness in
the award, but to crafty my own curl
osity I would be glad to have thee tell
me why thee gave all the prizes to the
native stock and what fault thee found
! with mine?'
My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome and I
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they
are not suited for this country. They
are so short-legged and fat that Mig
ger could catch them in two minutes.
What we require in hog in the South
is legs and wind. We give our prizes
| for speed."

California, that hundreds of thousands
Of pounds in gold are annually taken
from the rude heaps of base looking
quartz by the flowing of water over huge
piles of broken rocks that contain the
precious metal. The water used by the
miners is charged with simple chemi-
cal which has the potency to dissolve
gold and hold it in solution. This is
cyanide of potassium, a poisonous drug,
which ferrets out the minutest particles
of the metal. During the last five years
the process has been almost universally
