GOLD AS IT R.

The following k taken from speech made by Senator Ingalls,, and quoted in an address favoring silver made by Mr Bynum in 1886.
 No enduring fabric of national prosperity can be builded on gold. Gold IS the money of mona~ehs Kings covet it, the exchange of na- sions are affected bs 1t; it's teu- dehcy Ee to accumulate in vast masses in the commercial eeaters, and to rnoye from kingdom to king dom ln such volumes as to unsettle values aud stir np the finances of the world. It is the instruments of gamblers and spectators aud the idoi Of the miser and thief The object of so much adoratIon, IL be- comes naughty and sensitive and siIrinks at the approach Of danger, and whenever 1t is most needed it aIways disappears at the slightest alarm; it begins to look for refuge. it flies through the nations at war to the nations at peace. War makes it fugitive. No people in a great emergency ever found . faith fnl ally in gold. It is the most c0waraiy and treaeherous of all xsetals. It makes 10 treaty that it does not break. It has no friends whom 1t does not sooner or later be- tray. Armies aud navies are not maintained by gold. h time Of panic and calamity, ship wreck and disaster, it becomes the chief agent aud minister of ruin. No nation ever fought great war by the aid Of gold. On the contrary. iu the crisis Of greatest peril it becomes an enemy more potent than the foe in the fead. But when lhe battle is woa and peace has been secured, gold reappears and claims the fruits of victory.

OF NEBRASKA.

ARTHUR SEWkLL,
CT MAINE.

THE farmer who goes forth in the
morning and tolls all day, begins in the
spring and tolls all summer, and by the
application of brain and muscle to the
natural resources OF this country
creates wealth, is as much n business
man as the man who goes upon the
board of trade and bets upon the price
of grain. The miners who go thous-
aud feet into the earth or climb 1000
feet above the cliffs and bring forth
from their hiding places the precious
metals to be poured into the channels
of trade are as much business men as
the few financial magnates who in a
b elk room corner the money of the
world. From Bryan's Chicago speech.

THE STAGE RELEASED.

Considering the work finished the
leader motioned to his men to step
back and called to the driver, go
ahead" At the signal the passengers
climbed into the coach, the driver
shook out the reins and the stage
with its lightened passengers moved on.
The robbers stepped into the brush and
were out of sight in moment.
Two of the passengers at the first
command realized what was coming
and quickly tossed through the coach
windows the roll of money that each
was carrying. When the coach came
on toward Cripple Creek they remained
behind to search the highway for their
discarded treasure.
The stage was driven on to Cripple
Creek after a delay of not more than
five minutes, reaching here at o'clock
The word of the robbery was passed
quickly around and soon became the
topic of all conversation. A few of the
passengers reported their names and
losses to Deputy Sheriff Lupton and
Driver Worden hastened to give the
officers description of the men who
had held him up. The other passen.
gers scattered to their homes and their
names could not be obtained.

ROBBED ONLY THE MEN.
Driver Worden did as commanded,
and when the coach came to stop, two
other masked men started from the
sheltering bushes with drawn revolvers
The leader called out: Unload there
and line up" At this the passengers
stepped quietly from the coach and did
as commanded, falling in line like sol
diers. The leader of the highwaymen
stepped to the head of the line after the
style of a first lieutenant reviewing his
men, then stepped back and kept the
passengers covered with his rifle, or
dored hands up and motoned his aids
to work. These, with revovers press

assistants to "look through that coach

YOUNG MITCHELL's THOUGHTS
Regret Expressed by Davis at the
Defeat of His Old Friend
Allen by Walker.

Now that the Sharkey- Williams mill mas
been relegated to the shadowy annals OF
the past, numerous sports are coming TO
the front and declaring their disappolnt-
ment at the weak fight put up by Williams
and the awkward tactics of the "Sailor."
The knowing ones assert that Sharkey's
victories in the ring so far have been over
very inefficient men, and that they want
to see the strapping gentleman put up
against man who knows how to use his
fists without getting them tangled together.
Their desire seems in fair way of
materializing. Jack Davis, the champion
of the Northwest, has come to town; and
come with the intention to stay. The old
timers are warm in their welcome for him,
and say that he is a hard and game
fighter, just the man to put up against
the "sailor" to sh ow him how to play the
game of pugilism as laid down by the
pugilistic Hoyle.
Not only this, but as stated in recent
issue of THE CALL. Davis is ready, nav,
eager, to meet his man. Up-to-date
Shalkey has not been heard from.
The new Occidental Club now offers
purse of $1250 for Davis to meet Sharkey
at the Mechanics Pavilion July 8.
The New Occidental Club was organized
about two weeks ago with the following
officers: President, Jose phi O'Brien; vice
president, Thomas Scuily; financial secre-
tary, John Houston; reco ding secretary,
John E. Mannix; treasurer. John L.
Herget (Young MitchelD; directors,
William Rickers, Lincoln Martin, Thomas
Kavanaugh, John Freel, John Bowen.
Last evening the committee on boxing
Mitchell, Kavanaugh and Houston-had a
talk on the subject OF mate ing SharkeY
and Davis, with the result that the latter
two called on Davis at the Cosmopolitan
Hotel about o'clock and made him the
foregoing proposition.
Davis verified the truth of the PROPOSE
tion having been made him.
Il heard to-day from some of Sharkey's
friends he said, that he intends going
East in about six weeks if he makes no
match before that time in this City.
"Wel, all | have to say is that Sharkey
needn't go East for fight. He can get it
and stay out here in California where the
cyclones won't endanger his fighting abili-
ties.
You may say for me that it would give
me pleasure to hear from Sharkey at his
earliest convenience"
The Northwestern champion further
more SAID that while the two directors
were conversing with him they spoke of
the late pugilistic tournament, and said
they intended to have better fights in the
future, and accordingly would offer higher
purses than other local clubs had hitherto
offered.
Davis also expressed regret that Allen
had been defeated by Waller, as he said
the former was an old friend of his, and
he regarded him as a game and clever
man.
Young" Mitchell, when interrogated
on the subject, said it was the intention to
arrange contest between Davis and Shar-
key, if such could be done, and he ex-
pected to see a clever, scientific mill.

FOOTBALL AT HOME.
An Eggshell Is Used and Broken Bones
Are Avoided.


Are Avoided.
An interesting game much played In
England is called football at home"
1t Is very simple, though highly excit-
ing, and has this advantage over many
games, that the necessaries are for it are
within the reach of all, the poor as well as
The rich. The only apparatus required
consists of an ordinary covered table, four
tumblers and an empty eggshell. The
field is the table and the shell the ball.
ANY number of players can take part,
though the best number is FIVE on a side.
The two captains kneel, one at the head of
the table by the right-hand corner, and
the other at the foot at the left-hand cor
ner. The players line up on their knees
by the sides of the table.
from the edge are placed couple of tum-
blers or anything else tn at would serve for
goalposts, and across the top is stretched
strip of paper or ribbon.
Everything being ready the eggshell is
placed in the center of the table and put
into play by both captains blowing at it.
When it is fairly going the other players
tackle it with their whistling apparatus,
and each side endeavors to blow the ball
through the others goal.
The rapid succession of tangents which
the shell takes under this treatment causes
great fun, and the game soon wakes very
exciting. If the ball is blown through a
goal it scores touchdown, which counts
four points for the victorious side. The

He Remembered the Words.

The words, I'm the name of God,
amen" have through continuous use for
centuries become such fixture at the be-
ginning of testamentary papers that many
people think will is not binding unless it
is supplied with the phrase. AS result,
some amusing things are seen in the last
written expressions of the desires of those
who are looking forward to death.
A will was submitted to the Registrar a
few days ago that had been penned by the
testator himself, Judging from the charac-
ters IN the body of the paper and the sig
nature. The man who was about to de-
part this life, as he said in the will, had
evidently attempted to draw the document
after the fashion of wills as he remem-
bered them. He omitted the frequently
used words at the beginning, but evidently
remembered something of them at the
close, and brought them in in the follow
ing fashion: Il give the balance of my es-
tate to my son John, his heirs and assigns
for Gods sake, amen.'@Washington
Times.
