Death Relieved Him of His Sutferings This
Afternoon.
Frank Lewis, one of the three victims of
the explosion of gas in the West Shenandoah
colliery, died at his home on South West
street at 1850 this afternoon. He suffered
intensely from his INJURIES but might have
recovered had he not also suffered from
failure of the heart for which he was
treated by DR.. j. 2. Roberts short time
before the accident.
The deceased was 80 years of age and is
survived by his wife and one child He was
very well and favorably known and popu-
lar member of John w Stokes Lodge No.
515, l. O. o. F., and the Columbia II. q S.
f. f. Co. He was a trustee of the latter
organization for fifteen years. He was also
assistant fire marshal of the borough.
Simon Ramakis and Peter Sabawicz, the
two other victims of the explosion are
making good progress towards recovery.
The whole system is drained and under
mined by indolent ulcers and open sores.

The London Times Comments on

London, Oct. 27.-The Times this
morning prints a letter from Moreton
Frewen, dated at Chicago, expressing
confidence in Bryan's election. He is
certain, he says. Mckinley must carry
all seven of the great central states in
order to avoid being beaten. THE
most serious factor says the Times,
"is the prominence which Bryan NOW
gives to the socialistic side of his poll
cy." The Times 5adds: The victory Of
these doctrines would be calamitous
not only to America, but to all the CIV
ilized world, even though active legis-
lative spoliation might not immedi-
ately be possible. We see nothing In
the situation to AFFECT our hope that the

This conspiracy which we have to

ultimate object the striking down Of

since 1873. Yet, according to the direc-
tor of the United States mint. there is
mlEh more than double the amount of
silver money in use in the world today
than there was in 1873. and practically
all of 1t is a full legal tender. Director
Preston estimates the amount OF silver
money in the world in 1873 at $1,8l7,-
600. 900, while today it is 81, 070. SOC, 900.

II that is the effect OF the free COIN
age OF silver. why does 1t not do so in
the countries which now have free
coinage? The South American states
have had free coinage OF silver for
many years., yet the gold does not ap-
pear to be drifting to them. They have
actually mined $25, 600. 900 in gold since
the beginning Of 1892, yet they have
lost most of that, and instead OF the
gold going to them under the free coin
age Of silver, as Mr.. Bryan says will
happen, they have lost their gold until
they have today but $1.11 for each in
d%ividual. Mexico has had free coinage
OF silver for many yesrs; but instead
OF attracting gold according to the Bry-
am theory, her gold has rapidly left her,
SO that. although she mines between
four and five millions OF gold a year,
her gold money amounts to just Al
cents for each individual in her popu-
latiOn, or one-twentieth Of what the
United States has per capita Does this
look as though the free coinage Of sill
yer would bring gold to this country,

Gold and silver are different from
