ROBERT FULTON'S FlANCEE.

What Betrothal Meant to u Girl Early In
the Century.
For Helen Livingston there remained
hardly one more year of happy girlhood.
free to go and come, dance and be mer-
ry, in the old innocent girlish fashion,
for at that time betrothal was as sacred
as marriage itself and much more re-
strictive of privileges. That is, the free
dom of %girlhood was lost and that of tbs
matron had not come. If the lover were
present, of course these restrictions were
not felt, but in his absence the poor girl
had little more liberty than a Hindoo
widow. She must not accept even the
most ordinary attentions from any man,
must dance with no one except her ia
Their or brother, and she must always
wear, conspicuously displayed, hanging
from her neck face outward, the min
iature of her future husband.
These miniatures were often skillful-
ly painted on ivory and were usually
oval in shape and about 80 inches by
az in size, without counting the gold
frames, which were sometimes quite
heavy. The broad remarks which it was
considered in order for even chance &C.
quaintances to address to the fiapcee
upon sight OF this badge of appropriation
were intolerable to Helen Livingston,
and rather than subject herself 20 them
she r~esolutely refrained from accepting
an invitation even to her loved cousin
Chancellor's" during the few months OF
her engagement, which ended in a hap
by marriage III che spring of 1903.
On one occasion, when a large and
most interesting company Of American
and foreign guests was expected at Cler-
mont, Helen vainly sought her mothers
permission to attend without wearing
the telltale portrait. Finding that this
would not be allowed and realizing that
her sisters disappointment would be
great, ''Sister Patty" only IS, but al
ready tall and stately, %heroically volun-
teered to wear the obnoxious picture.
personating it's rightful owner. But the
innocent fraud was not permitted, and
as Helen would not go if obliged to
wear the miniature, she was compelled
to relinquish the coveted pleasure. OF
course the boy lover-he was barely 81
was in no way responsible fer this
custom, which he subsequently often
and justly characterized as odious, and
I think that he never liked to see the
miniature which had been the means of
depriving of ever SO small a pleasure the
woman whom he idolized through a
long life. "a Group of American Girls
Early In the Century" by Helen Evert-
son Smith, in Century.

SOME POOR DEBTORS.

Great Corporations which Free Silver
Would Enable to Cheat Their creditors.
The free-silver agitators claim to be
working in the interest of the debtors
of the country, which they represent as
being large number of poor persons.
The creditor class is denounced as
small number of greedy bankers and
monopolists, banded together fur the
purpose of expressing the masses of the
people. Reputation of debts is openly
advocated by the silverite and populist
press on the ground that the men who
borrow money are more numerous than
the men who lend. The belief that in
some way free coinage will benefit poor
debtors by injuring rich creditors Is at
the bottom of nine-tenths of all the de.
mands for cheap money.
The falsity of assertions that scheme
to pay debts in 50-cent dollars would
help the poor and hurt only the rich,
can be easily seen by looking at few
of the prominent debtors of the country.
Among the great corporations which
would be able to pay off their bonded
Indebtedness in dollars worth so cents
are the following:

Means Unsettled Business.

The Augusta Herald is evidently op-
posed to the free, unlimited, independ-
ent, sixteen to one coinage of silver. It
believes that tree silver means a finaD-
eial crisis; it means panic; it means a
readjust nent of conditions, a change of
financial basis; it means disruption and
disorganization in every line of trade
and manufacturing. Free silver means
an unsettled condition of trade that II
will take years to straighten out before
the industries of this country can ever
begin to do q settled and legitimate

The. Grand Army Of Creditors.

The gentlemen who think that they
have made an attractive bid for votes
by proposing 50-cent dollar for debtors
to pay their debts with are reckoning
without their host. Every state of the
union is full of creditors, and they will
never consent to defraud and cheat
themselves.
Among these creditors are:
All persons who work for wages, sal
ary or by the piece.
All members of building and loan
associations.
All depositors in savings, national,
state or private banks.
All holders of life, fire and accident
insurance policies.
All members of benevolent and fra
ternal insurance orders.
All holders of industrial insurance.
All widows. orphans or wards de-
pendent wholly or partially upon the
income from investments.
All educational and charitable insti-
tutions dependent wholly or in part
upon the income of their endowments.
In fact, the 50-cent silver dollar
would be of advantage to few persons
in the long run save the spectators,
who would gamble on the inevitable
fluctuations in it's purchasing power
and in the price of commodities.

NOT e,MErALLIsrs.
True Coinage Men Are Silver Bfonomst
Allists.

True Coinage Men Are silver MOnOmot.
Allists.
Senator Teller calls himself BIZ
metallist. He defines bimetallism as
"the equal treatment of both gold and
silver at the mints."
Senator Teller Is silver monometal-
list, and SO are all advocates OF free
coinage at sixteen to one. They do not
ask equal" but unequal treatment Of
gold and silver at the mints. All that
the mint does with gold is to stamp
upon it the certificate of It's value. It
stamps Is $40 grains of gold of stand
ard fineness as dollar. The metal is
worth dollar before 1t il stamped.
It Is worth dollar If melted in the
pot. It will bring dollars worth Of
value in either shape anywhere in the
world.
What the free coinage men ask is
that the government shall stamp 412A
grains of silver of standard fneness as
dollar under the arbitrary and OBJ
solete ratio of sixteen to one. But this
silver is worth only SO cents. 1t will
sell for only SO cents If melted. It will
not pass for dollar in the markets of
the world, except to be sent back here,
where its legal tender quality and the
policy of the government to make it
exchangeable for gold keep it current
at it's face value.
In asking this unfair and dishonest
advantage for silver Mr.. Teller there
fore demands unequal treatment for the
metals. And as free coinage Of either
metal at false ratio has everywhere
and always driven the more valuable
coin out of circulation, it would inevi.
tably precipitate this country to sill
yer basis, making silver the only money
of redemption and silver or silver notes
the only money in use.
The free coinage men are therefore
not bimetallists, but silver monomct-
allists. They are contractionists. They
would make money scarcer instead of
more plentiful. poorer instead Of bet
tnr
