from Council Bluffs to Chicago over the Rock

in dollars; and If the coinage did not
stop whenever that need was ozersup-
Uaited States would rise in silver and
the gold price of the bullion in London

We fnd in the foregoing that there
would be no ''deluge" of silver at the
mints. On the contrary, we find the
remarkable statement set forth that
unless need for dollars existed, silver
in large amounts would never be
pressed for coinage. But most remark
able of all, we find it stated the price
of silver bullion would rise above the
mint ratio, and at the same time de-
cline in London.

bered, comes from the most intelligent
organs of the goid-bugs 1t is put forth
with apparent reluctance, but it is to
be supposed that the editor is prepared
to stand by it Without intending it,
perhaps, the Financial Chronicle digs
the ground from under all the single
standard arguments, and evades where
he does not admit, the arguments of
the bimetallists- Mr.. Raoui, having
pressed his questions, the Financial
Chronicle could do no less than answer
them, and the result is hodge-podge
of evasion and admission that will
cause thrill of horror to run up and
down the cultured backbone of Horace
White.
After this display we think the advo-

Poets have sung the joys of winter
hospitality, when the snow storm roars
outside and the logs in the fireplace roar
inside, and the bright welcome is only
equalled by the bright cheer of happy
guests as they thaw their frozen mem
hers by the ingleside. We Oregonians
do not have any of these joys, but the
ladies who were the recipients of the
gracious hospitality of Mrs. French and
Mrs. ]. w. Condor do not feel there was
anything missing. Great bowls of bril-
liant tulips, vases of geraniums, banks
Of pansies are very satisfactory substi-
tutes for the winter ornaments of icicles
and snow banks. The floral decorations
of the beautiful parlors, in their profu-
sion and grace, made one forget the stiff
wind outside.
The amusement of the afternoon,
aside from the merry talk, was decidedly
horticultural, and several of the guests
went home able to think of many more
names of tree than they could when the
contest began. Mrs. Fish, owing to the

De Kannet's Lecture.

Rev. Wood anticipates in DIR. De
Kannet's lecture Friday night the best
ever given in the church, as regards the
essentials of interest, entertainment and
instruction. Following are few, se-
lected from many complimentary press
notices:
Among the illustrated entertain
ments given at the Worlds Colum bian
Exposition, none were more conspicuous,
De Kannet's course of illustrated lee
lures on Russia, which were always
given before immense audiences and re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm, SO
much so, that at the end of his last lee
ture he was presented by Col. Francis
w. Parker, who was in charge of the
Worlds Fair illustrated lectures, with a
gold medal, upon which is the following
inscription: Presented to DIR. Gregory
DE Kannet for highly instructive and
entertaining lectures on Russia. Worlds
Columbian Exposition. 1898" At this
time, when so much is written about
this great, and to so many Americans
unknown, country of Russia, it is only
natural that lecture on the subject by
one SO well qualified to speak on the
same is proving so highly interesting,
entertaining and Instructive. y Chicago

MAIZE ToDD's AWFUL DEATH.
A Cousin of Robert Lincoln Killed by
a Trolley Car While Riding
a Bicycle.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 13.-The first
fatal bicycle accident to occur in Lex
ington took place at 6 o'clock this
evening, when Miss Maize Todd, who
was out riding on her bicycle on South
Broadway, was run over by an cleo
trio car weighing 1000 pounds. Itwas
Is minutes before she was rescued
from under the wheels, and five min
utes later she was dead. She was in
company with DR.. W. B. Mcclure, Miss
Lille Robinson and Miss Mamie Did
lake, all on wheels. They were going
south. They saw a wagon coming
north on the same side of the street
as the car tracks and they crossed
over to the other side in front of the
street car also going south. Miss Todd
miscalculated the speed of the street
car, and it struck her wheel broadslde,
throwing her under the forward truck
of the car. The motorman, William
Neal, reversed his motor and stopped
the car before the second wheel touch
ed the unfortunate girl. She was ex-
tricated with much difficulty, her
agonizing screams horrifying the large
crowd, which quickly gathered. Just
as she expired her aged father, DIR.
Lyman Beecher Todd, arrived on the
scene. His grief was pitiable. MISS
Todd was a cousin to Robert Todd

son, Lee Todd and Mrs. Nellie Bald

139 Years Old.

Moscow Cor St Petersburg Gazette.
There appeared this week in the
Office of the Police Surgeon an aged
man who wished to have his injured
hand bandaged. The surgeon bound
up the wound and then began talking
with the patient. He learned event
ually, from documentary evidence,
that the man was born in 1867, during
the reign of the Empress Elizabeth,
and therefore Is 138 years old. The
old man, whose name is Kusmin, said
he was a native of Moscow, and from
his twentieth to his eighty sixth year
had been coachman. In his eighty
sixth year, however, he had upset his
master, a count, and the Counts
brother, had hurt both seriously and
had been sent to Siberia, where he
had lived until 1898. In that year he
decided to return home, and he ar
rived in Moscow In 1894. lie at once
started for Kieff on a pilgrimage, from
which he had just come back. He was
much grieved to find that all the
friends of his youth were dead.
Kusmin's eyesight ia undimmed, his
hearing is good, and he in splendid
walker. .as his piIgrimages have shown.
Up to his i34th year he had never
tasted whiskey, but now ne allowe
himself an occasional drink.

FOUGHT
With Female Maniac to Prevent Her
Being Crushed BY a Train.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 14.-On
railroad trestle with fast train rap
idly approaching, Mary Bykazik, of
Berea, was almost miraculously res
cued from death by policeman and
two railroad men to-day.
Mary suddenly became insane at her
home in Berea, and escaping the vigi-
lance of her friends left the house.
She started for Cleveland, and reach
ed the Nickel Plate trestle in the city.
From tie to tie she began the perilous
Journey across the trestle and had
succeeded in passing the guards on
the draw bridge portion. At that mo-
ment the
WHISTLE OF THE FAST EXPRESS.
Was heard, and the next moment the
train, getting the target, dashed around
the curve at Jennings avenue. Pa
trolman McTigue had seen the peril OF
the woman and started for her. AT
the same moment the two bridge ten
ders started for the woman, and caught
her by one arm just as McTigue grasp
ed the other. Then began a desperate
struggle. The woman seemed possess
ed of more than human strength, and
FOUGHT WITH GREAT FURY.
Back and forth on the slippery ties
between the steel rails the three men
struggled with the woman. A missteI
on the part of any one of them meant
fall to the ground rs feet below. The
train was rapidly bearing down OF
them. The shrill whistle re-echoed IL
their ears, the pound of the engine OF
the rails was heard close to them JUS
as the men succeeded by violent ef
fort in springing across an open space
of nearly three feet and landing Oh
the next track. The train sped by
leaving the men struggling with th'
woman, who seemed bent on throw
ing herself over the trestle. She wa
finally subdued somewhat, and wa
taken to the County Jail on an insani
tv warrant She has the hallucinatiol
that she knows all the prominent mel
of the country, and wants to see them
The woman is about 40 years OF age.
