ILL FOR MOAETAkY REFORM

Leaders among tho Parties lnterestsd In
the Indianapolis Convention.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Dec. 26-Wil-
liam II. Hanna, chairman of the executive
committee of the Monetary Reform Con-
veDtion, returned yesterday from tour OF
the East, which he mad made in the in
terest OF the conven ton, to awaken bust
ness men to the i'm Importance of the occa-
sion and to insist that the commercial or
CARNATIONS send broad minded and in
huential men to the convention. He was
more than gratified with the feeling he
encountered in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg, and in fact every
city that ne visited.
II fno." said Mr.. Hanna, shat the
movement is no new thing. l was not
surprised, but l was extremely gratified
at the great interest shown by all of the
most prominent men of the various
cities | visited. Those talked to includ-
ed men Of all parties, engaged in prac-
tically all lines OF commerce and manu-
facture, and I found practically no
difference of opinion among them in the
thought that the business men of the
country should take hold of this subject
and go slowly but earnestly about the
work of devising and having adopted
sound currency system.
II now have no room to doubt that the
character of the convention will be all
that we could desire and such as will give
to its proceedings great weight in the
minds OF the people. Most OF the Terri
tory and all of the Chicago delegates have
been named, as have those OF a large
number OF smaller cities. and they are
among the best known names in bust
ness circles in their respective cities.
feel assured that we are 10 have conven-
ton OF whose character and patriotic pur-
pose we may well ne proud.

Colonel Fred Grant ActfreIy Doomed by
His Eriends

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. pa petition
is being circulated among all sorts of Re-
publicans in the interest of Colonel Fred
Grant for Secretary of War. The petition
was started by the president OF the Empire
Republican League, but it is being signed
by many Republican district leaders, The
letter, which will be sent to. the Presid ant
elect, says among other things:
Besides his personal efforts, Colonel
Fred ID. Grant rendered efficient services
in other ways. He furnished more than
fifty detectives from headquarters to purge
election rolls of fraud ulent registration
and was especially instrumental in pre-
venting the preparation of election frauds
of any Kind. 1t is not too much to say
that never before in e. history of New
York City was there held SO pure and
honest an election as the last one, and
this is due directly 10 the efforts and To-
tegrity OF Colonel Grant"
Platt and his friends favor the move
ment.

his case.
His action has worried the prison Off
Gals, and doctors who have been. sum-
moned to examine him have failed to de-
tect any signs of fever or other illness. 1t
was generally supposed that he acted thus
from some form Of insanity, but ten days
ago two doctors diagnosed his case thor
oughly and pronounced him sane.
Another commission was appointed to
examine him yesterday and reported that
the man was Stimulating insanity, while
being perfectly sane. The Jail officials do
not want him to die in jail and are power
less to force him to take nourishment.

:BOSTON CARS ALL RUNNING.
But Many Old Emptoyes Are Losing
Their Positions


Their Positions.
BOSTON, MASS, Dec. 26.-Cars were
running without interruption on all lines
OF the West End Street Railway to-day.
Many OF the cars were run by new men,
however. On some of the divisions all the
strikers were given to understand they
would have to be rehired in order to get
opportunity of taking out cars. while on
other divisions the old men were allowed
to take out their cars if they presented
themselves at the carhouses on time. But
it was apparent that the company intends
to get rid OF the men who were most ac-
tive in the strike. Some were not allowed
to take out cars at all, while those who
ran out on their regular trips early in the
day were replaced in many instances by
new men later. The new men were given
different badges than those worn by the
old men.
There is good deal of bitter feeling
among the men against the leaders Of the
union. Some of them feel that the coun-
Gil had bungled the whole matter SO bad
that 1t amounted to virtual betrayal of
the union into the hands OF the com pany,
and upon some of the divisions the feeling
was particularly bitter against President
Young, who has been at the head of the
council. One of the discharged leaders
said that the union was practically dead.

ICELAND WOMEN.
They Have Long Been Allowed to
Vote I'm Municipal Elections.

The woman of Iceland is always 'in-
teresting in her individuality. In the
old days she wore bracelet, from
which hung the insignia Of ofice-her
keys and purse. Now that she has laid
aside the gold wristband, these signifi-
cent household accoutrements are car
ried in the dress pocket; but they are
hers, nevertheless. In all matters of
church and parish she has her vote,
and, as the church and state are COM
bined. this is really a civic privilege.
She has also full municipal suffrage,
but as yet cannot vote upon matters
pertaining to commerce nor for men,
bers of Parliament, though there is a
strong sentiment abroad in favor of
giving her these additional advantages.
Women take part In many political
meetings, and talk upon all political
subjects. During the althing sessions
great numbers of the most intelligent
women Of the capital city are in atten-
dance constantly. For some years
there has existed political society Of
women, and when momentous ques-
tons affecting their interests are be-
fore the legislative body, large meet
ings are called and addressed by
women, setting forth their claims.

A FINE FRUIT COUNTRY.

The Cumberland table land, cover
ing an area Of 5,10O square miles, has
been called "The Future Fruit Garden
Of the South" Referring to this sec
ton, writer says:
I'm all the States there is no place
that will at all compare with the table
land in healthfulness of the apple tree,
and in the production of the apple. A
personal examination Of more than
fifty orchards failed to disclose single
diseased tree. The extreme looseness
of the soil gives free range to the roots
of the trees, and they do not knot up
and become diseased as they are so
apt to do when planted upon land hay
ing compact subsoil. Not only are
the trees more healthy, but the apples
are sounder than when grown upon
the valley lands, rarely, IL ever speck-
ing or rotting. The skin is smooth and
the fruit plump and juicy.

or upon coming into contact with va
rious hues lives in Manchester, N. H.
So strange a characteristic would, OF
course, command for its possessor a
good salary in dime museum, but
in this case the possessor is a woman
who has no desire for notoriety and
looks upon the phenomenon as dread
full affection, says an exchange. 1t is
caused by disease, Of course, but the
physicians have never been able to de-
termine the nature of the complaint.
The color of her eyes remains brown
and her hair black, but her face and
hands change to suit the color Of her
clothes. She does not dare wear rib
bons nor any of the shades Of blue. red,
green or yellow. In pure white her
face is CHASTITY, and the color of her
hair and eyes makes 1t even more so
than 1t would be if they were lighter.
Black renders her so dark brunette
that there might be strong suspicion
that she was not Of the Caucasian race.
She, therefore, wears none but subdued
grays and browns, which render her
less noticeable The affection, for 1t is
a great affiiction, came upon her grad
ually, and is steadily growing more
pronounced.

when the Boys Voice Changes.
(Musical Record.)

At that period when the voice
breaks" or changes sometimes the
change is so gradual that 1t cannot be
said to break at alp, he usually finds
that there are two ways In which he
can produce it. At the bottom is the
beginning Of the mans voice, which, II
forced, becomes separate register, and
goes by the name of "chest voice." AT
the top are the remains Of the old boy
ish voice. sometimes called head
voice." This head voice" can be car
ried down to the bottom, or nearly to
the bottom, Of the vocal compass; while
the "chest voice" can, with some effort
be carried considerable distance up
ward, though never to the top. If, now,
the boy commences to speak in the
newly acquired "chest voice." and gives
up the old voice, the result in after
life will be either a bad voice, or, at
best, an Indifferent one. If. on the
other hand, he continues to speak in the
old boyish voice, in tones which will be
somewhat high at first, but will get
lower, fuller and more manly by degrees
as the physical frame develops, the re-
suit win be good voice-a voice which
will stand almost any amount of wear
and tear, and will retain great deal
of Its strength and beauty. even though
at a later period the mode of production
be altered.

ARE YOU A DOCTORS wIFEs
Have Nothing to Do With Your Hus.
bands Professional Work.

"The physicians wife should not be
his professional assistant" writes DR..
A. L. Benedict in the September Ladies'
Home Companion. His nearest and
dearest companion should be one with
whom he cannot talk shop, and who
will bring fresh interests into his life.
Though there may be exceptional
instances In which the marriage Of two
physicians has led to prosperous and
friendly intimacy such a union Is
scarcely ideal; and 1t is certainly the
height of bad taste and folly for q
woman, with no intention OF devoting
herself to practice. to attempt to gain
a smattering of medical lore by reading
her husbands books and keeping his
conversation always in the rut.'
Notwithstanding these views, no
one can appreciate more strongly than
the writer the value-yes, almost neces-
sity--of wife's aid in building up q
practice. There are few successful
physicians who do not owe much 10 the
social efforts of their wives; in fact,
an ambitious physician whose wife will
not or cannot take her part in society
(using the word in no snobbish sense)
is about in the same position as
swimmer with cannon-ball tied to
his feet. Occasionally such q man rises
in spite of the burden, but for one such
there are dozen mediocre men who
have become prominent through the
reflected brilliancy of their wives.
while the physicians wife should
have nothing to do with the profession
ell side of her husbands work-and es-
pecially should she be free from vul-
gar curiosity as to the condolences Of
patients, and refuse to enter into con-
versation about them-she may well
have an eye to his business interests.
By a little tact she can often hold an
impatient patient or win the confidence
of a wavering one. She should always
maintain a courteous but reserved de-
meanor. Again, she must bear in mind
that the office and waiting room are
her husbands place Of business. They
should be comfortable and attractive,
but free from suggestions Of domestic
life. The rumble of the household ma
chinery should never reach the ears Of
patients. Better spoiled meal or a
delayed social engagement than an In
terruption of professional consulta-
ton"
