Congressman Pitney attended the con-

mediately left for Maine, where upon
invitation he will speak at Skowhegsn on
the 29th, at Ellsworth the 10th, Sanford
the 3lst and September LIST at Sawco. He
will return to Morrisiown on the End,
after that he will give his personal at
tention to the campaign in the Fourth
Congressional District. MIR. Pitney has
very convincing way OF stating facts
of which he is brmful, and it Is not to be
wondered at that the few papers In this
district supporting the Chicago candi-
dates seek to misquote him on every
possible occasion Morris Co. Chron

NEW HOPE AND BUCKS COUNTY. PA.

The picnic of the Gainesville Odd
Fellows, at the Deer Park, last Saturday,
drew out only about three hundred peo-
pie. 1t was failure financially.
Sixteen hundred and nineteen tickets
were sold to Willow Grove and return
from New Hope during the past week.
The biggest travel was on Wednesday,
when over four hundred were sold. In
addition to this, large numbers were sold
from other stations on the line. AS the
Park is still open with Innis' Band and
Its other attractions, no doubt many more
will visit it this month.

On Tuesday morning of last week lit
tie after Monday midnight, the large store
owned and kept by George G. Barker at
Pattenburg, in this county, announced TO
Mr.. B., by means of his burglar. alarm
which runs TO bis house, that robbery was
in progress.
This was Mr.. Barker's third or fourth
visit of this sort. His first losses had led
him TO put in the burglar alarm, in accord
ance with his progressive business meth
DDS, and this soon enabled him to capture
two nocturnal rascals Tin the store (who are
now serving in State Prison. The des-
perate siege those fellows stood, and the
danger to him single-handed, induced Mr..
B. to extend his alarm wires to Henry
Shive's house, on the opposite side of the
store, where he knew he had two brave
and willing helpers in time of any attack
OF the sort.
When Mr.. d. was reused from his sleep
last Monday night, therefore, he wired to
Mr.. Shive, and he and his son Milton were
quickly around and on guard at the west
and south of the store, while Mr.. Barker
waited in ambush on the east side with his
gun. AS the burglar did not appear, and
might be at work on the safe, Mr.. Shive
threw stone, which brought man to
view on the porch. Milton at once opened
fire, to which the desperate promptly re-
sponded twice from So calibre revolver.
After Millions second shot the burglar fled
to the tin roof ofthe porch and Mr.. Barker
heard him coming toward his side, where
he came into view, climbing down post.
Knowing him now TO be well armed and
desperate, Mr.. Barker at once shot him
down, putting Is BIB. shot into his leg be-
tween ankle and knee Gas afterward dis
covered). The nervy rascal at once got up
from where he fell and started toward the
railroad, thus passing close to Mr. Barker,
who was waiting behind the shrubbery.

surrendered and dropped his revolver
when threatened with being shot dead.
He was at once carried into the store,
and surgeon summoned, DR.. Riegle of
Bloomsbury, responding, and relieving
his sufferings somewhat. He would not
give his name, but said he was from Buff
falo, and expressed regret at not surren
dering when first shot. He is profess
sional burglar, as his tools showed, and
inside his boot soles were two steel saws
for Jail breaking. Mr.. Barker notified the
County authorities in the morning, aud
Constable Ramsey took him to Fleming
ton in the afternoon. The wounded bur-
glar was afterward sent TO the Hospital
at Trenton. Clinton Democrat.

Small debts are what blight the gen.
eral business of the country. Every
store keeper has large number of small
debts on his books, and when it is remem.
bered that the aggregate amounts in many
cases to hundreds of dollars, and that il
comes out of the profits of the business,
it can readily be seen why the small debt

At Princeton and other colleges there
is much perplexity as to the proper alb
breviaton to be chosen TO designate the
class this Fall and to be graduated
in 1900. 1t is conceded that "Nineteen
Hundred" is too long. 'Zero-Zero"
has been suggested, but 1t is considered
clumsy and indicative OF nothing.
Some believe that this term could be
shortened to 40 TO-" but this is OBJ
jected to on account OF its relation to
the abbreviated name OF geological gar
dens, with their monkeys, snakes, bears
and wolves.
In Princeton the term "Naughty

as has also Entity Nit" The abbrevia-
ton OF the title Of the class is sung in

Eaey Lessons About Money.

At first all money was weighed in
scales. The first money trade told in the
Bible was in silver, "And Abraham
weighed to Ephron 400 shekels of silver,
current money with the merchant" A
shekel was half an ounce.
1t was not easy to carry round pair
of scales and weigh ont metal each
time there was trade. So coins were
made.
A shekel or some weight OF silver or
of gold was weighed out, melted to-
gether and stamped with die show
ing it's weight. Now money could be
counted instead of weighed out. This
made trading much easier.
Anything that makes trading easier
betters trade.
Silver was first in general use for
coins. But as people became better off
and had larger trades to make silver
was too weighty. So gold came into use
AS nations have become better off
they have come to use gold more than
silver. The great trading nations now
use the gold standard and only the
poorer nations the silver standard for
their money systems.-N. Y. World.

Bryan's rwo-Faced Argument.

When argument is based upon a
wrong principle, it is full of inconsist-
encies. Candidate Bryan says that our
dollar is too valuable; that it has en-
hanced until two bushels of wheat are
now required in exchange for q dollar,
whereas one bushel of wheat was ex-
changeal,le for dollar in days gone by.
Mr.. Bryan's remedy for this is to
cheaper the dollar. This is logical, and
the dollar would certainly be cheapened
by "frre coinage" No doubt of that.
20 far Candidate Bryan is consistent,
but whit moment. He says also that
the flsse coinage of silver by the United
StateS alone would double the price of
silyea bullion and make it worth S1.29
per ounce in gold the world over. If
this advance should result the silver
dollar would rise in value to the present
worth of the gold dollar, and there
would be absolutely no change in our
financial system. These two PROPOSE
tiens are utterly ct variance with each
otner. One of them must of necessity
lie ncorrect.--Atlenta Dixie

slsMARck.s ADVICE.
Es 1t Unprcjudiced and Can We Afror,
ts, Follow It?


Is 1t Unprciudiced and Can We Afford
to Follow It?
Mr.. Bryan appears to set great store
by the letter which Gov. Culberson, of
Texas. has received from Prince Bis
marck. The peoples friend" is willing
to receive advice from the "Man of
Blood and Iron," and the champion
of the American farmer" listens to
that famous friend of American agri.
culture who shut the German ports to
American pork in 1854 and to American
potatoes in 1885, and who would gladly
have united all central Europe in
customs league aimed directly against
all American produce. Bismarck's
rather diplomatic letter is taken by Mr..
Bryan in his recent speeches to favor
the free coinage Of silver by the United
States. The devotion of Chancellor Bis
marck 10 the cause of silver may be
seen in the following historical fact,
which appears to have escaped general
notice:
Under his guidance as chancellor of
the empire and minister of commerce
for Prussia the equivalent of 1885,
100000 marks (over $270,0oO,0O0) in sill
yer was demonetized between the years
1874 and 1881, and over $160,0Oo,0O0
worth of the bullion into which these
were melted had been sold by 1870. In
that year. finding that the price of sill
YER was becoming demoralized, so that
his remaining s1o9,coo,oCO was depre-
ciating, he stopped sales by decree
-,
frankly stated by his delegation to the
international monetary conference of
1881, when Germany likewise offered
to suspend sales for a time in order
that the price might not be further
depressed. With these assurances be-
fore the monetary powers and with the
decree of 1879 still in force, Bismarck
saw an opportunity of dumping some
German silver on the sly and proceeded
to do so. In 1885 the Egyptian govern
ment decided to change its coinage and
invited bids for contracts to coin its
silver piasters. The German mint Sc
cured the contract to make the coin and
incidentally furnished S3,1s9,Gc0 of sill
yer bullion to Egypt. The matter was
kept very quiet or escaped general no
tice. Reference to it will be found,
however, in the London Economist of
December !, 1856, which saw in it
proof of Bismarcl's lack of faith in
silver
With all his faults Bismarck is a
sturdy patriot. To help the German
distiller he was willing TO see trichine
in every American pig, and to protect
the German farmer hesmelled bugs on
every American potato. Germany has
to-day $107,000,000 worth of silver
whose valYe is. declining. If the United
States copld be induced to follow the
example Of Egypt and give Germany a
chance to do some more unloading,
where is the harm, from the ex-chan-
cellor's point of view, in writing let
ter of not entirely disinterested advice?

Why Does Not MIR. Bryan Answer.

Mr.. Bryan tells the farmers that free
coinage of silver will give them cheap
dollars with which to pay their debts.
Mr.. Bryan tells city workingmen that
free coinage of silver will raise the
metal to S1.29 per ounce, bringing the
silver dollar to par with the gold dol
lar, thus giving city worlingmen an
other dollar as good as the present one
with which to buy the farmers prod
ucts.
That is to say, to the farmer the
Bryan silver dollar is to be cheap dol
lar to pay debts with. To city labor
the Bryan dollar is to be dollar of
high purchasing power to buy with.
Free coinage of silver cannot produce
these two dollars. 1t can produce only
one of the two. Why do not would-be
supporters of Mr.. Bryan ask him which
dollar he really means? Both the farm
er, who wants to pay debts, and the
workingman, who must buy farm prod
uce, are interested in having this ques-
ton answercd.-Chicago Times-Her-

Sam Jones Makes 1t Clear.

Suppose" says Rev Sam Jones, of
Georgia, "the government owned all the
grist mills in this country and congress
should enact II law that all corn should
be ground by the government mills
free, and that while corn was worth IS
cents bushei the government would
stamp the sacks Of meal so that it would
bring so cents bu"1el ard do this for
nothing? 1t is very hard matter to
keep meal above the price of corn"
