Poverty Would Be Pleasant.

II the people were only willing to
seem poor, they would find poverty
pleasant. But they dread the con-.
tempt they imagine the rich people
feel for them on account of their
poverty. Sometimes purse proud
persons do manifest a toploftical
scorn for poor people, but such purse
proud folk show by this that they
are made fools by their money. It is
a weakness in the poor to care for

A NEW LITERARY STAR.

A few weeks ago the Standard in
common with other leading newspapers
of the United States received a letter
from Lord Sholto Douglass. son of the
Marquis of Queensberry, and husband
OF a California beer jerking variety ac-
tress, stating that he purposed en-
barking in the literary business and So
Letting a few trial orders. Lord Sholto
offered his literary wares at fairly mod
crate prices and intimated very plainly
that everything. he turned out and
signed his name to would be eagerly
sought after by an appreciative and
delighted public.
The Standard resisted his lordship's
bargains-it did not consider them the
wisest investment in the world. Not
so the New York World, which gladly
awaited itself of so brilliant an oppor-.
tunity, and last Sunday printed a re-
markedly bright and entertaining story
written expressly for the Sunday
World by Lord Sholto Douglass" with
the autograph signature of the noble
man In fac simile at the end of the
sketch. 1t was really a clever and ar
tistic piece of literary work, not much
inferior to Bret Hartes best. BY a
single bound Lord Sholto leaped to the
very front of the worlds story writer's.
To be sure the New York Sun under

that the story was stolen word for

IL Lord Sholto Douglass and the New

of carping criticism and coarse abuse.

THE BICYCLE AGE.

In one way or another the bicycle is
working a good many changes in mod
ern life. Clothing merchants say that
as far as the young men are concerned,
the bicycle suit is retiring the dress
suit, costing perhaps five times as
much. According to the Buffalo News,
the shoemakers Of that city complain
that bicycle shoes" take the place of
thes1hore costly boots and shoes for
genteel wear. Hatters also complain
that there is a falling of in high-priced
hats. The revolution OF trade does not

lishments. II also extends To the la

measure of vaccination. No higher
proof of the efficacy of vaccination
could be asked for. Its efficacy may be
shown more graphically by statistics
which tell how the death rate from
smallpox has gradually been reduced
since the introduction of vaccination.
In Sweden, where the vital statistics
are more complete than in any other
European country. the record shows
that the number Of deaths from small
pox In twenty-seven years, before vac
cination, averaged 2,O45 to one million
living. In the fourteen following years
of permissive vaccination the average
was $50. In the seventy-seven years
ending 1ss3 when vaccination was COM
pulsory, the rate was only 155. This is
an enormous reduction, and IL ought to
impress people with the necessity for
universal vaccination. Smallpox is not
entirely banished. Vaccination hasn't
produced the impossible, and annihilat-
ed the disease. Smallpox breaks out
occasionally. but it is comparatively
harmless in a community which has
been thoroughly vaccinated, and where
arrangements are possible for the iso-
lation of the patient. Vaccination will
protect the constitution against subse-
quent attacks. as much as that disease
itself will

On the other hand, the bicycle trade
is steadily increasing and the manufac-

a large number of mechanics and the
sale and disposal of them engage an
army of agents and statesmen. Besides

man is advocating a portable bicycle

gests that John Henry Newman's beau
tiful hymn be sung as follows to please
the cycling congregations:

Pittsburg, May 23-During the CONVEX
sation at Beaver last night Senator Quay
punctured a number of reports that have
been travelling around since the Indiana
state convention. 1t is said that on the
eve of the convention Harrison tele-
graphed Quay and Plat, asking these
questions: What do you want me to do?"
and that Quay did not reply. The senator
is credited with keeping Harrison from
going to the state meeting. That report
is not true" Quay said promptly. TT Is
ridiculous. Anybody who is acquainted
with Harrison knows ii is not like him.
/ did not receive that telegram nor any
telegram from Harrison. / did not hear
from him."
Speaking OF the talk of Hastings for
vice president, the senator remarked that
he did not think the governor really
wanted the position. Colonel Moody
spoke up and said that few vice presi-
dents figure in history. Yes" Mr.. Quay
added. dryly. and the salary is only

ZDrn-Deryitie.

A very pleasant event yesterday in
which many Butte people will feel an
interest was the marriage of Louis
Zorn, nephew of Louis Liennemann,
and cashier at the California brewery,
and Miss Kate Derville, the beauti-
full and sweet singer of the brewery.
Miss Derville is a member of the IA
nous Derville family who have been
singing at the California for a few
months. While Miss Derville sang on
the stage Mr.. Zorn watched her from
the cashiers desk. Shy glances were
exchanged and it was a case of love
at first sight. Both are very popular
and hundreds of people will wish them
long and happy life. The marriage
ceremony took place at st. Patrick's
church at O'Clock yesterday after
noon and was followed by a wedding
supper at the residence of the groom's
sister in Meaderville. Mr.. and Mrs.
Zorn will reside in this city.

ONE WAY OF FIGHTING.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says
that a well known Alabama business
man was in Louisville the other day en-
route home from New York. He had
been to the latter place to raise 5000, 900
on an important business enterprise in
Selma, and had about succeeded when
the free coinage of silver carried the
state. This caused the money men to
back out, as they were afraid that IL
they loaned the cash they would only
be paid fifty cents on the dollar" II
the incident is a true one, and we see
no reason to doubt it. 1t graphically
illustrates the methods the New York
gold men are pursuing to make the
people of the United States submit TO
species of slavery. Tyrants almost in
ton sets in and there comes a time
when people assert their rights and de-
mand them.
OF course, Alabama, however strongly
In favor of 1t she might be. could not
bring about the free coinage of silver
without the action of the general gov
eminent; but the New Workers propose
to punish her just the same, and other
silver communities asking favors of

LATTER-DAY M'KINLEY ISH.


II is interesting to read the New
York papers these days and see the
frantic efforts most of them are putting
forth to accomplish the downfall of the
Mckinley boom. They would have the
world believe that the bankers, and
moneyed interests generally. are in
commissions over the probability of
McKinley's nomination.; that the wild
est terror prevails throughout the East
because the Ohio man refuses to come
out openly for the gold standard. All
this is sheer nonsense. Indications are
not wanting that Mr.. Mckinley,
through Senator Sherman, General AL
ger and others. has made his peace
with Wall street. promising to declare
unequivocally for gold in his letter of
acceptance 1t is not the bankers who
are making the fuss. II is Tom Plat
and his aiders and abettors. Their work
is coarse
Mr.. Mckinley continues to wabble on

offending both A. p. AS and anita. p.
As. At a supplemental meeting of the
delegates to the supreme council of the
A. p. A. in Washington, held just after
the adjournment of the supreme coun-
ell. and representing twenty states. res
olutions were adopted denouncing Nc
Kinley for double dealing. One of the
''whereases'' reads: Whereas. Major
Mckinley did on May IA, 1885, to a COM
mittee of the national advisory board,
In the city of Canton. Ohio, state that
he heartily approved the principles of
the American Protective association.
and on the following day gave an in
terview to the associated press and the
united press denying that he had met
such committee thus giving the lie
TO the report of the committee, which
was composed of honorable and truth
full gentlemen"
From the best information obtaina-
BILE, Mr.. Mckinley did do just what the
A. p. As. now accuse him of doing
assure them of his thorough sympathy
and cordial support. and then deny IL
all. But the A. p. AS. ought not TO OBJ
ject 20 that-its their own style of do
ing business. AS one Washington cor
respondent says: This is one of the
most striking points in McKinley's
character. He always agrees with the
last man who calls upon him. and some
OF the anita. p. A. politicians in Wash
ington are now considering the advisa-
bility of sending a committee to Can
ton TO ask the wabbling candidate as
TO whether he really did endorse the
principles of the A. p. A. or whether
he jollied the committee into thinking

The Source of the Circulating Half
Dollar Pieces Is Pound

Sat Francisco, May 23-At last the
United States secret service authorities
have struck a lead to the source from
which have come thousands of almost
perfect imitation half dollars circulated
throughout the Pacific coast. 1t is believed
that the counterfeits, which absolutely
defy detection except when under pow
erful magnifying glass in the hands of a
clever expert, were made by Chinese in
their native land and brought to this
country last summer by members of the
troupe of Chinese actors who came to
America to perform at the Atlanta expo
sition. Almost the entire troupe is now in
this city, having been filling engagements
in the Chinatown theaters since return
ing from the East.
1t is estimated that 10000 of the unau-
thorized coins have been disposed of by
the Chinese, and that Little Pete" the
Chinese of recent race track job noto-
riety, was back of the scheme. However,
the $4,000 that has been realized has not
been clear profit. as the counterfeits 'con-
tain almost the same amount of pure sill
Yer as do the regularly minted silver
half dollars but the extremely low price
of silver bullion gave the counterfeiters
