4 Scarcity of business Is the Principal
Tr,ubl..

Talk about scarcity of money" il
constantly put forward as IA reason for
going into the free coinage of depre
ciated dollars. The talk is specious
but misleading and cannot bc too often
met. The fact is there never was So
much idle money in the country a.
there Is now. An excellent authority
on this subject recently summed up
some of the main facts in the matter
thus; There is cause for failures and
depressions, but investigation will
show that none of them have been
caused by an insufficient amount OF
circulating medium in the country
Millions of dollars are today lying idle,
not yielding one per cent of profit to
the owner; millions more are being
loaned at l and , per cent. The say
ings banks have been and still are con
gcsted with money, and are seeking
opportunities for safe and profitable
investments, taking municipal bonds
at and per cent interest. When
the government asked for loan of
$780, OOO. 900 in gold nearly $500, O0J, 900
were offered at rates ranging from 2 Is
10 per cent"
The statistical abstract of the United
States shows that in 1873 we HAD sal.
ssh. 500 in circulation. or $500 per
capita. In 1894 we had Sl.6G6, SOS. 7pS.
or S2f. % per capita. The total amount
Of money available for circulation. in
1873. was S714.f4j.Gl0; in 1894 it was

Senators Jones and Stewart were not

They are large owners in such mines

SYNOPSIS OF "FLEUR DE LIS"
The management Of the Grand Opera
House offers the engagement OF the
Della Fox Opera Company for Satur-
day night, October 3. For this occasion
Miss Fox will present her opera
"Fleur-de-Lis." A brief synopsis OF
"Fleur-de-Bis" is as follows: A couple
OF old fellows, count and a marquis,
who were born on the same day, and
have been devoted friends since child
hood, are at war when the opera opens,
over an estate left by their late uncle
at st. Claude, France. He had presum-
ably left will, but as they cannot find
IL, they proceed to fight for the heir
dom. The count appears to have the
best of the argument for the marquis
has been deserted by all his soldiers,
and he is besieged in his fortress with
only women for defenders. "A long lost
daughter of the marquis (Fleur-de-Lis)
makes an opportune appearance, how
ever, and after winning the heart OF the
counts son, proceeds to make matters
interesting for the father. She appears
in numerous characters, a flower girl,
a doll a ragged boy musician, a ghost,
etc, ridiculously complicating every
body and everything until the end,
when the lost will is found, which
leaves all the estate TO her father and
all ends well in the good old comic
opera style.

A MAGICIAN's ADvENTuRE.

Magician Kellar, who come TO the
Grand Opera House on Monday night
tells an interesting story OF Robert
Houdin, the famous French magician,
who went to India many years ago, to
study the necromancy OF the Hindoos.
At first the fakirs would have nothing
to do with Houdin, whom they believ-
ed to be pretender and not a magic
ian Of any account at all. One day,
however, Houdin so awed them that
they were ever afterward willing to do
anything for him. He presented to an
old magician a bag OF bullets, and ask
ed him to select one Of them and load
1t into a large pistol. The fakir did
as he was told and was then directed
TO fire it at Houdin's heart. He fired,
but the magician remained unharmed
Selecting another bullet from, the bag
he loaded the pistol and commander
the fakir to fire at a white wall. When
the bullet struck there was a great
blotch of blood running down the wall
The Hindoos fled in terror. declaring
that Houdin was the devil. Kellar, who
has also spent much time studying the
arts of the Mahatmas of India, will ex-
plot some of their startling illusions
during his entertainment in this city.
