What Gives Money its Legal Tender

To the Editor of the Kansas City Times.
Ottowa, Kan, B. Gum in his
reply to "Laborer" denies that the
government has the power to make
money. The Supre me court of the

 The society has secured the services of some of the finest talent of this city and of Boston and as the admission is only twenty-five cents, the members expect all their friends and those who enjoy a first class entertainment to come and make them visit Wednes- day evening. They guarantee a first rate time and one that is worth many times the admission charged.
 Anyone who has not heard MT. H. P Smith of Yale, the winner of many prizes in oratory, would be well paid by coming out to hear him alone. Miss Edith May Root of Emerson college of oratory Boston, Mass, is one of the leading elocutinists of the time, and is sure to please There is also other we'll known talent from our own city, whose merits are too well known, to need special mention.

Speculation on Stock Exchange Yesterda
 Generally Tame and Dull.

Speculation on Stock Exchange Yesterday
 Generally Tame and Dull.
 New York, Dec. Speculation at the stock exchange during the morning was as tame and uninteresting as ever, and the brokers generally were lament ing the absence of orders. The foreign houses did next to nothing, and local concerns had to depend entirely upon certain of the traders who are doing a scalping business.
 At the start Sugar ran off quickly from 112% to 1107s, and this led to re- sessions In the general list of $ to F per cent, but the losses were soon re- covered. The rally, small as it was, seemed to bring business to a standstill, showing clearly that the sentiment in the room was, in the main, bearish.
 The inordinato dullness finally induc- cd a few of the leading professionals to test the market They raided Sugar, then Manhattan. and meeting with suc- cess in these two stocks, soon extended their field of operations.
 In the late dealings Sugar displayed something like it's old time activity and
 
 dividend. It rallied to 110a, but at this figure there was fresh supply of stock, under which it yielded to and closed at 110A, a net loss for the day of 21s per cent It was currently reported that the insiders are helping along the de- cline which is in part attributed to the belief that measures will shortly be in- troduced into congress to take off the ls differential.
 Manhattan dropped 25s, to 921a, the decline being accelerated by the execu- ton of stop orders. The other Gould stocks were also weak, Western Union selling down from S65s to S51s and Mis- souri Pacific from 20% to 1912 Chicago Gas de lined from 73A to IFS, but in the general list theslosses were 14@1 per cent.
 Among the specialties American Spir- it's preferred suffered q sharp break, selling down from 2715 to 22, with a final rally to 241a. Consolidated Gas rose from 151 to 153 and later fell to 150. Metropolitan Traction rose B, to 109B, and later declined to 1071a. Tennessee Coal and Iron dropped 13s, to 251s, and closed at that figure.
 Speculation closed weak in tone. Net changes show losses of A@21s per cent. on the day, Sugar leading.
 The bond market was weak. The sales amounted to S1,247. 900.
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely. bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street, New Haven:

sIR LOHN sOANE,s MILL.

That is a curious story about the will of Sir John Soane. architect-antiqua- ry, who in 1886 left his house and his collections in Lincoln's Inn Fields to the nation for a museum. The will contained a clause that certain recepta c,es were to be opened at certain dates, and in 1866 the first of these dates ar rived, A cupboard, or rather box, was opened but nothing was found in 1t eX- cept a quantity of old letters, ac- counts, and stationery of no value to any one In 1886 similar ceremony was gone through with the same re- suit, and in 1896, a few days ago a third recptacle was opened, but nothing was discovered which could account for the testator's careful arrangements. It is suggested that Sir John Soane was playing a practical joke, but apart from the fact that jokers of that sort enjoy nothing so much as the sight of their victims distress, where in this case is the joke hidden? Who even among the malicious idiots who in- dulge in practical joking will laugh? [? It is much more probable that the re- ceptacles have been quietly rifled, but then what was hidden in them? A will cancelling the bequest to the nation is the most probable guess, or an auto- biographical memoir, but neither could have been hidden in three boxes, to be opened at three different times. The only object We can even think of is that Sir John wished the interest on cer- tain bonds to accumulate, and took this odd but direct method of insuring that the interest should not be spent If so, his purpose has been frustrated.

with a politebow he resumed his seat.
The "amen" and 'shal!elujah peo-
pie were evidently not present Sunday
night, or else they were SO much alb
sorbed in the lecture, or were carried
SO quickly from the gay to the pathet
ic, that they were unable to interject
the complimentary ejacnlaions OF
approval given to commendatory re
ligious utterances-those outbursts
of exuberant emotion that find vent
in ''amen," ''hallelujah," ''prai'e the
Lord" etc., etc. But one brother
in Israel, in the back part Of the house,
to offset this kindergarten episode,
shouted ''Praise the Lord" To use

warmly congratulated for his inter-

The Southwest Kansas Conference or
Saturday passed resolution attempting
to explain the address of Bishop Andrews
on Thursday, in which he counseled the
young men to eschew active politics. The
Bishop preceded the adoption of the
resolutions by stating that it was his
firm belief that the ministry did them
selves and their calling great harm by
following side issues. He did not ask
them to desist from temperance work,
but that it should not be to the exclusion
of regular duties. nor follow them when
it stirred up strife and local discussions.
