CHICAGO, April 25.-Everyone of
the 5000 seats in Chicago's great Au-
ditorium vase filled tonight with peo-
pie who came to hear the address OF
Secretary Carlisle on currency ana
finances Several hundred people stood
through the entire address, and several
hundred more went away, being una
bic to gain admittance. The Secretary
received a hearty welcome, and was
loudly cheered upon entering the hall.
The stage was occupied by about 20
officers of Chicago trades and labor as
semblies. at whose invitation Mr.. Car
Isle came to Chicago. M. J. Carroll,

sided
Mr. Carroll said that it was the de-
sire of the laboring people of Chicago

garding the currency question, and that
the Secretary of the United States
Treasury had been selected as the most
fit person for giving the information
wanted He referred to the late Horr-
Harvey debate on the silver question,
and said that nothing had been learned
from it, and that the laboring people
were still undecided as to whether sill
yer should be coined freely without det-
riment to the standard Of the country.
He then introduced Mr.. Carlisle, who
eXressed his pleasure at meeting such

BURDEN DIAMOND ROBBERY.
A Former Servant of the Family
Charged With the Theft.

NEW YORK, April 15.-The Herald
will tomorrow say: The Herald" was
informed late tonight by the best au-
thority that the Burden diamond rob-
berry has been solved. 1t was stated
that a former servant committed the
thefts. This servant is now said to be
on the ocean.
1t is stated that instructions have
been cabled to Scotland Yard by the
New York police to arrest the servant
upon the arrival of the steamer.
Some time ago the servant in question
expressed a desire to quit the Burden
service in order to make a trip abroad.
II was after the departure that a Sec
ond servant is said to have made the
confession upon which the Scotland
Yard authorities were instructed to act.
The robbery occurred at /. Townsend
Burdens city residence, No. 5 East
Twenty-sixth street, on the night cf
December 9th of last year. Nearly all
of the jewels were locked in a small
safe in Mrs. Burdens boudoir. The re-
mainder We're in similar safe in Mr..
Burdens bedroom. Apparently they
could not have been more secure unless
the had been placed in a safe deposit
vault.
The actual value of the jewels stolen
was estimated at SIS. $50.

REDWOOD CITY, April ia scow
which passed down the bay from the

bow the body of man picked up some
where on the way between Sierra Point
and San Francisco.
The men on the scow knew nothing of
their ghastly find until day broke, and
they were lying off Sierra Point Even
then it was impossible to pick up the
body until the tide turned, but the Coro-
ner was notified of the find, and with his
deputy left at once for the bayshore
to hold an inquest.
The men on the scOw, though they
could not recover the body, secured it
against washing away, and while they
were making it fast discovered evidence
which went far to convince them that a
murder had been committed.
There was in the head a hole evidently
made by a bullet, and sack holding a
few rocks, and which had evidently held
more, was tied by a rope around the
neck, evidently for the purpose of sink
ing the body.

Wearing Glasses.

What is the matter with our young
people OF both sexes, that they need
srectacles at such an age as, once upon
time, would have been called prepos-
ferrous Nothing is preposterous, how
ever, nowadays.
In one day of this week, without
making any special point of doing so, l
encountered fourteen young people,
ranging from to 10 years Of age, wear
ing glasses.
Once upon a time spectacles were
considered a mark of age, and women
took to them" when it could no longer
be avoided, with a humiliating sense
of having had their day; no use play
ing at being young any longer.
But to-day, bright-eyed boys and
girls rush into eyeglasses with eager
and frequently mistaken premature
ness. Their eyes pain them a little
something in them, perhaps. Our
mothers would have inserted a flaxseed
or drop of castor oil, which, by the
way, somebody, in giving belated ad-
vice, says is better than flaxseed-and
the something would be pushed out of
the way.
To-day an oculist is just around the
corner, perhaps, and glasses are so
cheap; so our bright-eyed girl or boy
consults the one and dons the other.
and the eyesight that might so easily
have been preserved is reduced to
blinking at the world through the dis
figuring glasses for all time to come.
1t is the fashion to say that over
study" is the cause. The melancholy
truth stares us in the face that the pre-
ceding generation and the one preced-
ing that studied several months longer
ir each year, studied more at night. by
