simply accepted the commercial
ratio between gold and silver,
which in that year was Is to 1.
The gold eagle contained 2474
grains of pure gold and 224 grains
of alloy. A dollar contained 37i4
of pure silver and 44a grains of al
10y. That was an honest dollar.
1t would sell 70, 100 cents, and
would buy goods anywhere in the
world. To follow the example OF
the fathers we should now, in coin
ing money, adopt the commercial
ratio of the year 1896, which is 80
to l. That would be an honest
dollar, inconvenient perhaps, but
it would be straight, aud it would
go anywhere, representing as it
would good value. The silver men
demand a coinage at 16 to 1, aud
profess to believe that a light
weight dollar can be kept equal to
gold. But Sir Thomas Gresham's
law which has held good for two
centuries. says: "When two sorts
of coin are current in the same ma
ton, of like values by denomina-
ton, but not intrinsically-i. e., in
market value-that. which has the
least value will be current. and the
other, as much as possible, will be
boarded or melted down or export
ed" Gold would soon disappear,
and the purchasing power of silver
would drop to its market value,
and distress follow in its wake

BRYAN is called the boy orator
of the Platte. Why? Senator
Foraker says it is because the
Platte is thousand miles long
and six inches deep. The Jsena-
tor is wrong and should not give
publicity to such slanderous ut
terances. Bryan is called the boy
orator of the Platte because the
Platte, like all rivers, is much
larger at the mouth than at the
head.

Anti-football cranks are a con-
scientious tribe of critics. They
are determined to speak under
|standingly. 1t would be dishonest
to denounce so earnestly, anything,
as they do football, without posi-
tive personal proof of its evil na-
ture. So you may see them at
every game storing up evidence.
Sometimes they grow SO indignant
lat some especially rough move
ment, that they actually yell and
throw up their hats. Don't imag-
inc that the man who makes it a
point to denounce football is speak
ing from ignorance; he knows all
about the game.

trated with S4 stereoptican views.
lie said Pompeii was one of the oldest
towns In Italy with an ever varying for
tune; II bad old ruins long before its
utter destruction in the year 10, A. ID.
Popular beliefs he showed to be incorrect
relating to what happened; II was not
set on fire neither was IL totally buried
by the eruption from Vesuvius. First fell
a layer OF pumice stone, which covered
the city TO a depth OF six feet, this was
followed by layer OF ashes which in
creased the depth OF from IL to 13 feet.
IL was the soil accret ions OF nearly 1900
years that totally covered the town. After
the disaster much in value OF treasures
and art was removed, and IL is believed
that the Emperor Alexander Severus made
a quarry of Pompeii and took a great
quantity OF marble and beautiful statues
to adorn buildings In Rome.
Excavations have been continued since
17iS, when the site was rediscovered.
Now a little over one half OF the town
has been uncovered. During last year
but one large house was uncovered, but
1t proved TO be one OF great interest and
in IL has been commenced the plan OF
leaving in place all objects found, In
stead Of carrying them as formerly to
Naples.
This "talk" by Professor Hardness was
n very careful and learned resume OF much
that relates to the subject and was pre-
seuted in an earnest manner. The au-
dience was perhaps the largest Of the
season.

Where $22, 500 Stolen Money Went.
ST. LOUIS, March 49, The officials of

they have solved the mystery of the is
appearance OF S22,5O) out Of a package
containing $50, coo that had been shipped
by a New York bank to the National
Bank of the Republic in New Orleans in
October, 1893. Tuesday they filed two
suits in the circuit court. One was an at
tachment against August +. Graulich,
who, as messenger, had charge of the
money package alter 1t left this city, for
S22, 800 alleged to be in deposit in a safe
deposit vault here. The other Is pe-
tition for writ of mandamus to restrain
the bank people from allowing Graulich
to withdraw the money, alleged to be on
deposit there. If any money belonging to
Graulich is found 10 be in the vaults in
such sums as 20 cause suspicion that il
came from the robbery three years ago,
Mr.. Whitley, the company's attorney, says
the company intends to prosecute Graulich
criminally for theft. IL no money is
found then the case will fall through. A
T.. Gurney of New Orleans was originally
churged with the theft but was acquitted
after a long trial.

yust at the time when the question OF
street car transfers is under discussion in
Providence II is interesting TO note the
action recently taken by the Third Ave-
nue. Cable Company in New York. here
tofore this company has maintained b2
agencies at as many transfer points, but
il has now abolished these agencies and
hereafter the conductors on its cars ill
distribute the transfer tickets to such per-
sons as desire them before reaching the
points at which they wish TO be transfer
red. Ii is said that by the abolition OF the
agencies the company will effect a saving
of nearly $50, 900 year. The conductors,
however do not take kindly to the
change, as they insist that the distribu-
tion of the transfer tickets gives them
more work than they can well attend TO
while at the same time causing much con-
fusion and inconvenience To passengers.
The company answers this complaint by
saying that in Brooklyn the conductors
find no trouble in distributing tickets
and what a Brooklyn conductor can do a
New York conductor ought to be able to
do. However, SO far as Providence Is
concerned is seems to be settled that there
will be no transfer tickets when the
transfer system is adopted so local con-
ductors will have no reason to complain
OF extra work thrown upon them.
