4 coon DoLLAR roR WOMEN.

1t is believed that lovely and shrewd
Woman is going to have something to
say against the success of the free sill
yer fraud She can make the dollar
that now is do much She will not
be in favor of dollar that will do
much less. 1t is in this view that Mr.
William w. Perot, Of Baltimore, has
addressed 'To the Women of the
United States" a little pamphlet Of
eight pages, which puts in nutshell
the whole purpose and practical effect
of the unlimited coinage of fifty-three
cent silver dollars. Women going
marketing under the silver regime will
have to pay, he shows. approximately
double what they now pay under the
gold regime. If they spend nominally
the same amount they now spend, they
will return home with about half as
much as they now get. Wages are
worth what they will buy. Free coin
age is, accordingly, for the wage earn
er, or the salaried man, a device to re-
duce his income by one-half. Men,
with their way of running after the
cries, may not see it., but their wives
will see it in short order. 1t Is largely
the women who make deposits in the
savings banks. They have for many
years been putting in money as good
as gold. They will not relish, Mr..
Perot shows, getting out money as
good only as silver. He shows also
that free silver does not mean doubling
wages and salaries, though it would
double prices.
The women will favor the dollar that
will buy the most. And there will be
quite as much common sense in their
motion" as there will be in the pro-
found theories of those wLo aim to
raise prices and cheaper the dollar.

only by the occasional buzzing OF a

death of Wrottesley. I strained every

to no purpose; and at length gave it

Frederick Martingale on his back, dead

stripped the corpse and sought for a

From report of the experiments car
ried out by M Yaux of Strasbourg in
the presence of @ committee of engi-
neers it appears that drill tempered
by electricity penetrated through q
piece of steel quite as quickly as q
drill of the best quality of steel tenn
pered in the ordinary manner would
have done, and o. circular saw tenn
pered by electricity severed bars of
iron with a remarkable degree of case.
With shears of electric steel bar of
steel one and three-eighths inches wide
and three-fourth of an inch thick was
cut in two in cold state, the same
operation being repeated five times on
the same bar. with no alteration what
ever observable on the edge of the
shears; and a simple table knife. tenn
pered by this new process, cut eleven
times in succession piece of iron wire
one and half millimetres thick as
easily as if it had been a piece of string.
All the explanation given of. this pro-
cess consists in the statement that the
tools are dipped, after being heated,
into a conducting bath traversed by
electricity.

Consul Caugky, reporting to the De-
partment of State on the fruit trade
of Sicily, says that the season of 1896
SO, now drawing to close, will leave
behind it a record that will have no
rival in the history of the industry
Over two and half million boxes were
exported, with an average loss of ST.
per box. The cause of this deplorable
condition is an indiscriminate distribu-
tion Of letters Of credit among people
who were absolutely irresponsible
This resulted in the shipment Of fruit of
the commonest quality and in enor-
NOUS quantities. The heavy loss did
not fall upon the shippers While over
S2,500000 has been lost by importers
and bankers in the United States since
October last, there has not been a sim
gle failure in Messina The remedy for
the exigting evil rests with the bank
ers and consignees, and that is the
sending of inspectors to the ports of
Messina, Palermo and Catania. Such
q system will insure the shipment of
better qualities OF fruit to the United
States.

The water question is said to have
assumed an unexpected and serious
aspect in Paris 1t is claimed that the
reservoirs which supply the wants of
the French capital are far too small
for the purpose. At the best of times
they only hold water enough for a
fortnight, but it is dangerous, or at
least ifnprudent, to store up even this
quantity during really warm weather
One of the principal officials now de-
clares that unless three more reservoirs
are created at once there will not be
enough water in 1900 for the ordinary
needs of the Partisan population, to
say nothing of those of the visitors
who are expected to come for the ex-
position. Two new sources of supply
must be found, he says, to obviate all
danger of drought. To complete the
system he estimates that 100000, 900
francs will be necessary.

he put Officer Moody onto them and
he captured the pair near the Mil

an outgoing freight, having got on
that the police were after them. At

l.. Holmes and Pete Kramer. They
are boys OF Is and hard-lookiDg Gus

they were from Dubuque. but denied
any knowledge of the whereabouts
of young Keane and another young
ster, whom they are accused OF hav-
ing induced to run away. They
also claimed that they did not leave
Dubuque in company with the other
two boys.
Holmes and Kramer landed in town
