BUSINESS MEMS POSITION.

This Campaign Means Life or Death
of Enterprise.
st. Louis, July 23.-One of the sever
est arrangements of the free silver
cause yet spoken here comes from
| William G. Cornwall, Buffalo, \. Y,
banker and a member of the sound
money committee of the Reform club
of New York City.
There is good deal of a mistake
about this thing" he said. The free
silver craze has not swept over the
whole country. The business men,
north, south, east and west, have not
been carried away by this fallacy.
They are solid for sound money.
1.-The business men have made up
their minds to fight for sound money,
and when they make up their minds
and take off their coats and go to
work there is no withstanding them.
| predict that that is what they are
going to do. 1t is a matter of the life
or death of business enterprise. 1t is
a question of whether what little they
have left after five years of hard
times shall be saved. or wiped out of
existence by the monstrous fallacy of
free coinage, reputation and dishon-
esty.
ut is certain that the business men
of the United States will refuse to see
this continent fall into the hands of
Populism and commercial anarchy,
and that is what free coinage means.
1t is practical Reputation! 1t opens
the door wide to fat money. The
free coinage dollar would have back
of it only soc, and the Populist paper
dollar, which would be demanded
next, would have nothing back of it.
"Three-fourths Of the men who are
for 16 to 1 honestly believe that they
are working for success and prospect
ty, but they are deluded. The success
of free coinage means, to begin with,
the worst panic we ever had, followed
by black ruin and ten years of hard
times"

MYsTERIOUsLY STABBED.

Portalo Gonzales and Pablo Cas-
taneda were arrested last night by
Officer Mass on the charge of being
suspicious characters. They are now
in the city Jail.
Another Mexican, living at the cor
ner of San Luis and South Leona
streets, was found on the street last
night, with a terrible stab wound in
his back running from between the
collar bone and neck on the right side.
He was removed to his house and a
physician attended him.
He could not tell much about how
he was attacked and wounded, as he
had been drinking until he was quite
intoxicated. The two men arrested
were with him during the night, it is
said, also drinking.
When arrested Castaneda had a
knife on his person, but it is thought
by the officers that Gonzales did the
cutting.

From the Century.
1t rarely if ever happens that a ma
tive, whatever his rank, is received on
any social occasion inside white
house; indeed, would seldom be per-
mitted, except as domestic servant,
to enter private house at all. When
Khama, the famous chief of the Pa
Mangwato, a Christian, and man of
admittedly high character, who has
ruled his people with singular wisdom
and ability, was in England last au-
tumn, and was there entertained at
lunch by the Duke of Westminster
and other persons of social eminence,
the news excited general annoyance
and disgust among the whites in
South Africa. A story was told me of
a garden party given by the wife of
leading white eeclesiastic, the appear
ance at which of the native clergy
man led many of the white guests to
withdraw in dudgeon.
Once, when | was a guest at a mis-
sion station in Basutoland, l was ask
ed by my host whether had any OBJ

been preaching to the native congre-
CATION. When | expressed some sur
prise that he should think it necessa-

ing was so strong among the cOlonists
that il would have been deemed i'm
proper and, indeed, insulting to- make
n white guest sit down at the same
table with black man., unless spe-
cial permission had first been given.
Thus one may say that there is no
social intercourse whatever between
the races; their relations are purely
those of business. Now and then the
black man gets ahead of the white,
but the latters pride of race remains.
was told of a white man who con-
descended to be hired to work by a

should address him as ''boss."
OF intermarriage there Is, of course,
no question. 1t is not forbidden by
law in the two British colonies, as it
is in most, If not all, of the southern
states of America, but it is excessive
" rare; nor does it appear that there
are now other irregular unions out

were in the old days while slavery
existed. In this respect the case of
South Africa remarkably resembles

man. Forty-nine American steam m.
ers and sailing vessels were en-
gagged in the coastwise trade of Ja-

at the corner of Pecan and Navarro

too sudden a check up when an cleo

SHE SUES HER FATHER.
Sarah A. Lighthan Seeks to Recover VAL
liable Real Estate.


A bill has been filed in the superior
court of Chicago by Sarah A. Lighthall
for the recovery from her father, Will
liam A. Lighthall, of valuable real es-
tate alleged by her to have been fraud
ulently procured. An injunction is also
asked to prevent the father from dis
posing of the property.
w. A. Lighthall, the defendant, is
said to be man of considerable wealth,
having made his money in the manufac-
ture OF boiler-cleaning compound. His
wife died in 1895, leaving considerable
property, including the residence at
492 West North avenue. At the time of
her mothers death, the daughter, Sa-
rah Lighthall, who was only child,
was student in the Chicago Musical
college, keeping house for her father
after her mothers death.
In May, 1895, she AYERS that she ac-
companied her father, at his request,
10 lawyers Office, where she was told
to sign papers, of the contents of which
she was ignorant. She tells the court
that she made repeated requests of her
father to be told the purport of the
papers she had willingly signed, but her
father either evaded the questions or
told her to trust in MIN, as he knew
what was best.
The bill charges fraud against the ia
ther in taking advantage of the girls
ignorance of business matters, and asks
that two-thirds of the property
which her mother left after she, died
be seized and reconveyed to the COM
plainant, and that her father be re-
strained from conveying or making
away with the property.

GERS for Making Counterfeit.
Clarence Morton, aged II, the son of

BEoueATHs AN ARM TO SCIENCE
Billiardist Ives willing That che Secret
of Ills Strength BE LEANED.


of Ills Strength be Learned.
Frank Ives, champion billiard player
of the world, can strike bali with a
cue harder than any other man in the
world. Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Sandow
and other athletes and strong men have
competed with him and he has not
been beaten yet One quick, sharp blow
with the leather tip of his cue, and the
ball flies around the table, striking
eleven cushions. With Wizard"
Schaefer and Eugene Carter he entered
into test of strength" so to speak,
and the ball he hit travelled three feet
nine inches more than Carter's. Ives
weighs las pounds, Schaefer about ten
pounds less, while Carter tips the beam
Mt over 200 pounds, and is strong in pro-
portion.
Fitzsimmons, who strikes blow like
horses kick, can barely touch nine
cushions, while Corbett, whose blows
are equally unpleasant, cannot strike
more than eight
There is no trick in Ives method OF
hitting the ball. He has consulted emf
nent physicians on the subject, but they,
give him little satisfaction, except to
say that his profession has led to the
development of muscles which prize
fighters and strong men do NOT use.
AS Ives cannot settle the question to
his own satisfaction, he has taken steps
to enlighten others after his death. Lee
Harrison, his confidential friend, has
been intrusted with the billiardist's
will. After disposing of his property.
which is said to be worth fully $780,
900, he wills that his right arm be sew
cred from his body and sent to his
physician for dissection. The real Sc
cret, he thinks, will then be discov-
cred. The rest of his body he desires
to have cremated.
