SECRETARY CARLISLE says that since
he has been in office he has obtained
$19.245, 142 in gold in exchange for sill
yer dollars, and yet John Sherman says
silver will not circulate and that as soon
as it is paid out it goes right back into
the treasury. These two great dnanciers
aud gold monomstallists should get to-
gether. Both are notorious prsvaricat-
ors but they might at least tell the same
story. There is no necessity for such a
multiplicity of falsehoods.

The alacrity with which Tope ka bust
ness men have responded to the call of
the committee soliciting funds for the
reunion and fall festivities shows that the
old time spirit of Topeka is not dead.
The fact that $1,000 has been subscribed

amount necessary will be raised with but
little difficulty. Money so invested will
be like bread cast upon the water; it
will return.

Knowingly" in the bill pending in the
house for checking the sale of adulter-

leave a loop hole for escape. The diff
Guilty with the enforcement of most OF
our laws is that there is loop hole of

may well be questioned whether or not
laws are not often so framed designedly.

GREEN PINK.
Florists Prepared for Appropriate ST..
Patrick's Day Bloom.

st. Patrick's day is coming, and the
florists are prepared with green pinks.
That is, certain classes of double white
carnations are treated by chemical pro-
cess which results in the petals OF the
flower becoming variegated, the crumpled
edges assuming rich green hue and Nile
green spots appearing in different parts of
the flower. These green pinks have just
appeared on the street and have already
become a fad. In orfer to find out the
why and wherefore reporter called upon
florist &. &. Sullivan, and was informed
that Is All uncommon thing to treat flow
ers this way and it las only been in
vogue about two years. Hereabouts 1t
is only done for special occasions, like
st. Patrick's day, but in New York the
green pinks may be found all the year
round. The process is simple.. The stems
are placed in chemically prepared
water and after standing about 10 hours
the green stems turn darker green and
the white leaves become tinged and spot
ted. Any soft plant can be treated the
same way, hyacinths often being so
acted upon.
Roses, however, or any hardwood
flowers, cannot be 80 treated. The
chemicals neither destroy the fragrance
OF the pink, nor leave any injurious
effects upon inhalation. Florists used to tell
their customers that the flowers grew
that way, but 1t Is generally understood
now that that Is O canard.

ufacluring Company Trouble.
United States District Attorney Charles
Il. German freely told The NEWS this
afternoon that the first he had heard OF
certsin sensational developments in the
case of the Government against the ver-
mont Manufacturing Company he CLEANED
from The journal, Bulletin and Telegram.
The News, so far as he knew, had been
accurate. The report that he had no au-
thority for making the arrest he laughed
down, and the other reports that New
York or Hartford people had brought
about the seizure Of the butterine works
he also scofned.
He saio, furthermore: "All this de-
partment has to deal with are
the law facts. Some / got / found to be
false and must get others. The case will
probably come up again early in the
week, when papers will be fled"
"Do you know whether Collector Byx-
by has any specific charge to make or
not?' was askei.
~ don't know whether l do or not"
was the rerly.
All of which goes to show, according
to good authority, that business jealousy
may account for great deal

ROBBERS SEEN In TIME.
Lively Chase of Three Men by the
Police.
Three Shots Were Fired at One of the
Running Men.

A bold attempt was made to break into
Clothing store, l7S Westminster street, at
1:50 this morning. At that time citizen
heard the breaking OF glass and notified
the Central station. Lieutenant Horton
and Sergeant Rowe were soon on the spot
and saw three men at work On a base
of the building. When the men saw the
policemen they ran and Sergeant Rowe
ran after them, the lieutenant waiting TO
see IL there was any one in the building.
Mr.. Rowe pursued the men along
Orange street to Pine street, where they
separated, one going up and one going
down Pine street, and the third contin-
ued TO Orange street and to this one the
officer paid special attention. The fleeing
man WAS called upon to halt by the
officer, but this only made him go the
faster. He was getting away from his
pursuer when the officer pulled his revol-
Yer shot into the air once, then a little
lover, and the third Bnd last time shot SO
near the man that he deemed it wise to
halt. He was taken 10 the Central sta
tion, where he said his name was
Thomas Manning.
A few moments after this excitement
Lieutenant Horton saw man running
across Westminster st eet into Exchange
street, through to Exchange place and
then toward the city hail. 4 he lieutenant
saw the man again on Mathewson street,
and he and Sergeant Rowe
arrested him in bouss on that street
shortly afterward. He attempted to make
the officers believe that he was sound
asleep, but he was taken to the station,
where he said his name was William
Fisher. and that he and Manning came
from Boston about week ago. The third
man has not been seen.
The would-be robbers broke out a 10x12
light of glass in the window of the cloth
ing st re, which allowed them to reach
the bolt that held the window, and when
this was taken out they could get into a
sort of an alcove. In this alcove was an
opening 7l2 inches wide. 1t was large
enough for the men to get through.
This opening is some II feet from the
floor of the basement, but the opening
made by the men was directly over lot
OF steam pipes, which could be used as
ladder. in the basement are many thous-
ands CT dollars worth of goods. but a
close inspection shows that the men lid
not get in, or at least there was no evil
dence that they did. Manning is about
20 years old, and Fisher is year or two
older.

FIGHT FOR REPUTATION.
Pastor Browns Famous Trial Ended.
Waiting for the Verdict.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE Rev.
C. o. Brown is waiting for the verdict of
his ecclesiastical judges and Matte Over
man is speeding toward the Southern
boundary of the State. The case against
the accused pastor is closed. Every wit
ness has been heard and the last argu-
ment has been made. The sensational
trial clio ed with a dramatic scene, In
which men and women cheered the min
lister who is fighting for reputation.
The executive sessions of the council
have been held but a verdict has not been
reached on all points involved. The
charge OF immortality so far as Mrs. Stock
ton is concerned is not sustained. An in
formal ballot was taken which showed
that the sense OF the evidence was not
sufficient to support the charge. The
council decided that Mrs Stockton's
word, until corroborsted, was not
sufficient TO convict pastor Brown.
The second vote was on the charge OF
intimidating young lady member of
the church. The evidence on the charge
was heard Thursday evening and seemed
to make deep impression on the coup-
Gil. This impression was confirmed in
the executive session last night. The
church was thoroughly canvassed and var
Gus members expressed themselves freely.
The deliberations OF the Council develop
ed the fact that the charges OF intimida-
tion made against the pastor by young
lady OF the church are among the most
serious Of all. The council Is more nesrly
unanimous upon this point than upUn
any other.
stubborn efforts are being made to con-
vict the pastor on the charge of immorali-
~, but II is believed compromise will
be made on n verdict OF unministerial
conduct, although Dr. Brown has several
determined friends who wish TO have him
vindicated on all the issues.

Men Who Want to Go to

Democratic Managers Have
Signified Their Choice.
Tney Want to Satisfy the City

The Republican and Democratic State
conventions for the elect ion of delegates
to the national conventions at st. Louis
and Chicago are month of yet, but the
aspirants are many and the Democratic
slate is already made up with consider
able amount Of definiteress. The one
thing that the Democratic managers are
practically sure of is that the city of
Providence will send two members OF the
delegation. Partly because four years
ago Providence was not represented at all
and partly because the managers want to
satisfy the city aspirants.
There are three men "mentioned"-
Richard Is. Comstock, Augustus ,. Miller
and Jesse III. Metcalf. IL will be Mr.. Com
stock and one of the other two. The pos
sibility of satisfying ell toree has been
suggested and either Bristol county or
Kent county will have to be satisfied
with an alternate.
For Pawtucket it Is either General Oh
ney Arnold or Ex-Governor Davis. Mayor
Greene of Woonsocket Is practically sure
OF place.
Other Providence county wouId-be's are
X. ii. Wade OF Gloucester and Charles IL.
Page OF Scituate.
there is no opposition in Newport
county to Mr.. Van Allen.
Thomas Spencer of Warwick and John
II. Parker OF West Greenwich are the men
named in Kent county, but it is doubtful
If either goes.
Hon. David s. Baker will get the place
assigned to Washington county IL he
wants 1t.
Each of the three towns in Bristol
county has q candidate. People in Warren
and good many outside think that John
h. Conley, who has served the party for
years as the secretary of the State central
committee, ought to be one OF the Rhode
Island delegation.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Wardwell is
named at Bristol and Leander Peck of
harrington wants 20 go. The Democrats,
however, are determined that Mr.. Peck's
mbition shall not be satisfied for the rea-
son that he is an intermittent Democrat
and becomes partizan only when he wants
something.
