No wonder Ifs q Craze

The silver question, as il is under
stood in some parts of Kentucky, is
graphically illustrated by a letter
which one of the statesmen at the cap
itol received from correspondent in
that state. 1t appears from this epis-
tolary evidence that a controversy was
being waged between sound money
man and a silver champion. The gold
man thought he had the best of the
argument He asked his adversary why
he thought that the free coinage Of sill
yer would make times better.
Simply because it would put more
money in circulation" said the white
metal crank.
But how will it put more money in
circulation" demanded the gold man.
How" asked the silver man, with
smile of contempt at his opponent.
How? Why, you blamed fool, if you
can take one gold dollar to the treas
ury and get sixteen dollars for it, won't

Old haeitations are to be found all
over California, says the San Francisco
Call. Sometimes there is good reason
for them being odd, but often it is the
result Of some crank idea. On the
beach near Cypress Point, in Monterey
county, there is one that cannot come
under the first head and hardly under
the last. The residence belongs to q
Chinese fisherman and is part natural
and part the work of his own hands.
The natural portion of the house is a
small cave in one of the many rocks
that stick up all over the beach. The
other part is a sort of wooden shed
which has been built in front Of this
opening. The lumber used Is of the
toughest kind but the esthetic China
man overcame this objection by cover
ing the whole outside with abalone
shells, the hollow side being turned

Montana and Silver

BUTTE, Mont May 1.-The repub.
lican state convention to select dele
gates to St. Louis was called to order
this afternoon by Hon. X. Mantle.
The indications this morning were
that delegates will be sent to the
national convention favorable to Nc
Kinley, while at the same time the
gathering will declare for free silver.
However, there is strong sound
money faction in the state, headed by
Colonel Wilbur F. Sanders, fr years
the republican leader of Montana,
which demands that the republican
convention shall De republican con-
vention, and not a gathering Of stall
warts determined to adopt demo.
cratic platform on the silver question.
Eor six weeks or more Colonel San
ders has been active in rallying the
sound-money men of the state under
his standard and in organizing sound
money clubs. AS result the silver
element has endeavored TO sidetrack
him or depose him from his leader
ship. To-day, however, he is on the
ground and full Of fight. There is a
warm contest ever state offices, but it
dwindles into insignificance compared
with the fight between the gold and
silver interests.

Cheap illumination.

CHICAGO, Illinois, May 1.-THE an
nouncement, to day, at private ex-
hibition, that the now famous Wells
bach light can be applied TO student
and other lamps in which gasoline is
used for fuel, and that patents have
been issued for this improvement on
the Welsbach invention, is regarded as
another telling blow at the electric
light, II not the gas trusts; and as es-
pecially calculated to send electric
light stocks still further a-kiting. AT
the exhibition, to-day, it was demon
strated that, by the adoption of the
Welsbach hydro carbon incandescent
light to an ordinary student lamp. one
pint of gasoline would give light
equal to seventy candle power for a
minimum period of eight hours.
This, it Is claimed, reduces the cost Of
light to minimum never before
reached, and which is practically nom
inal.

respond to the roll-call. The execu-
tive committee of the council has been
here, in session, for several days, and
leading members admit that the pres
ent meeting will mark crisis In the
history OF The order. There is consid-
erable strong feeling over the attempt
ed II faction Of the power and infu-
ence OF the organiz ltion into the re-
publican campaign, and an effort will
be made to undo what has been done,
in this particular, and to discipline
those responsible. The Illinois,
council took the lead in this direction
On the eve of the recent convention al
Springfield, when it emphatically re-
pudiated the anti Mckinley proclama-
tons and personal work of the state
president. Some OF the delegates here
to.dsy say that the very life OF the or
ganiz alton is involved and that u split
is inevitable. It IS given out, how
ever, that the tfficers and members re-
sponsible for the present situation
have prepared a statement setting
forth that the antagonisM manifested
towards Maj1r Mckinley was not SO
much on account of his friendliness
for Catholics as because he has shirked
the silver question, has sympathies an

A completely equipped mepagerie, new

the performers, practically live on
