caused by heart failure and old age.
Disappointment in love made him
recluse. He came to this state with his
brother William. and they took up gov

brother fell In love with her. After her
return to New York he determined To

horses and farming.

SILVER DEPOSITS REFUSED.
Frisco Bankers Protect Themselves
Against Withdr raWals Of Gold.

San Francisco. Aug. 12.-The agita-
ton of the financial question which has
resulted in sending gold up u fraction
of l per cent. above par in New York
Is causing local banks much trouble
with people who wish to deposit silver
and check out gold. Some of the banks
refuse to take any considerable amount
Of silver on deposit.
During the last two months the sup
ply of gold coin i'm the Sub-Treasury
has decreased from about $l5.OOO.0 900 to
less than $4,000. .OCO. The decrease in
cudes shipment of $3,O00.O0O in gold
made last month by Assistant United
States Treasurer Berry to the Sub
Treasury in New York city. The
enormous shrinkage was one of the
prime causes which led to the issuance
by Assistanth Treasure Berry of the
now famous order which stopped the re-
demption of silver certificates in gold
coin, practice which was followed
by his predecessors for many years.

CRUSADE OF BLOOD.

nized Warfare AbandOaed.

Victoria. b. c., Aug. fe.-From far
Japanese troops have been yainly
stri\ ing to crush out the seeds of post
bellum opposition to Japanese innova-
t'ons. comes story which for baruar-
Gus cruelty and defiant violation of
all ethics Of civilization, has fortu-
Lately few parallels in history even
of the savage races Of the world. The
terrible tale OF iapine, murder and
wanton cruelty reached here by the
steamer Empress of Japan and fully
bears out the statement on the situa-
tion in Formosa given publicity by the
Rev. DR.. Mackay, on his return to that
island six months ago.
Other equally creditable correspond
ents are now the witnesses against
Japan, and the burden of their ar
raignment Is that, seeing neither fame
nor profit to be gained in the subjuga-
tion of the Formosans by the arts of
modern warfare, recognized as legiti-
mate by civilized nations, the Japa-
nese troops sent to the island have
embarked in a crusade of blood. their
object being to crush out all signs Of
discomfort by, as far as possible. ex-
terminating the native population. In
this campaign there were no foreign
powers to make protest, no foreign
press representatives to herald to the
world the atrocities, the telling Of
which would bring Japan upon the
contempt of all enlightened people.
Says the Tainanfu representative Of
the China Mail" "As a result the
policy of determination has been
zealOusly pursued from the beginning
of the campaign, and what with the
destruction of their crops, the burning
of their villages, the dissertation Of
the graves of their loved ones. the
violation Of their wives and daughters
and the butchery Of their innocent
children, the people are driven to the
last eXpedients of desperation"

The High Hat Law.

With the opening of the doors
Of the st. Charles Theatre last
night not only the amusement sea-
son began but what is more impor-
tant, the Dudenheffer high hat bill
went into effect and hundreds of
persons attended the performance
just to see how the ladies behaved
themselves. 1t was expected by
some that they would rebel and de-
fy the high hat law and show their
contempt for it by marching into
the theatre with towers of feathers
aud ribbons resting on their heads,
bat in justice to the fair sex it
must be said that they submitted
to the inevitable with charming
grace and seemed to enjoy the nov
city of the thing. 1t did not take
the ladies long to realize that with
their hats off they form an audi
ence far more attractive than if
they wore their bullying headgear.
1t Is quite safe to say that the fair
ones who go to the theatres this
fall and winter will give more time
to dressing their hair becomingly
than to decorating loud and fam
boyant hats and the result will be
eminently satisfactory to them
selves and the public at large. The
first performance of the season
last night demonstrated that the
high hat law is success and has
c,me to stay, and in the future
every person who buys a seat in a
theatre will be able to see the play.

What Is q GOldbugY

Has not this folly gone on long
enough? There are many signs
that the turning point has been
reached; that the people are real
izing the fact that they have been
deluded in this matter. For the
first time in many years several of
our State Conventions have not
been afraid to say "gold standard
in their platforms, and to speak of
''gold' instead of "coin" or ''sound
money" merely. This shows an
awakening of courage and the time
may soon come when some of our
public men can hear themselves
called "goldbugs'' without shying
or sl.ivering. What is a goldbug?
Simply man who insists that the
people of the country shall have
the best possible kind of money in
which to transact their business;
that the laborer shall be paid in
the best money only; that the wild
ow and the orphan who live on the
interest of the money which has
been left to them shall not be
cheated of half their principal and
interest by having a fifty-cent silver
dollar substituted for one-hun-
dred-cent gold one.
There is not truer benefactor
of all the people in this country to-
day than the goldbug; for he is
contending for the maintenance of
trade and commerce and industry,
for the just dealings of man with
his fellow-men-in short, for civil
zation itself. The Century.
