BLIND MAN AT THE THEATER.

Spectators Interested In an Unusual Spec
tacle in tho Orchestra.
! A short. stout man who sat III an aisle
seat on the left OF the orchestra at the
Casino one night lately was an object
Of great interest to the amusement
seekers grouped around hin. The
heartiness OF his applause and the
whoIe-souled way in which he seemed
to be enjoying himself first drew at
tention to him. He wore very dark
hued spectacles, ard when there was no
singing gong on was seen to be con
vers.nr in animated whispers with a
younger man who sat alongside OF MIN
and kept particularly alive to ali tbat
was going on on the stage.
Wherever there was any singing the
younger man cut lis comments short,
and the nan with glasses leaned back
in his seat and, laying his head well
back in his seat, listened to the melody
with a smile. After each song lie ap-
plauded generously, and then leaning
over toward his companion, listened az
tentiyely to another series of comment
The enthus.ast auditor had been
among the earliest arrivals, ard it was
not until the curtain descended en- the
first act, and the younger Tan arose
and caught the elder by the arm gem
tlv, and the latter walked along cau-
tiously, feeling his way with stout
waII;ing-sticb, that those about him
discovered that he was blind There
was 4 tuzz of surprised comment from
the women folk, and men who had
ariser to 70 out between the acts made
way dcferert;ally for the sightless the
ater-goer. There was quite as much
interest when the blind man was led
back arain to his seat after getting
Whit cf air in the street.
1t was apparently the first time that
anyone in the good-sized audience had
ever seen a blind man at the theater.
Yet it Eecame evident that this par
ticular blind man had facilities for en-
Toying himself as l1eenly almost as any
Of those who saw him. He could hear
all that was uttered by the actors or
sin@ers, and his companions whispered
comments were a graphic description
of thc by-plav that accompanied all the
utteranees. The extra labor he had to
exert to secure q full knowlecge Of all
that was roing on made his applause
heart;er than that Of anyone around
him, it be'rg a habit of the sightless
TO manifest their pleasure effGsively.-

supremacy in financial matters is a
piece of unadu.teratrd insolence. It's
claim on any other ground is asubject
for contemptuous ridicule. The coun-
try wants its treasury operated for the
benefit of the United States. The
country Is tired and ashamed Of having
its policy dictated and shaped in Lon
don. There are numbers Of capable
fnanciers in the west who think that
the United States is good enough for
them, and who will not care whether
the Rothschilds approve or disapprove
their course. Let US try one OF them.

The old Republican party in the tate

they have only one lone representative

they take the view that that body had

Attention has been called to the fact
ia these columns that, although the
balance OF trade has been in our favor
ali through the present Administration
which fact, under ordinary circum-
stances, would have brought gold this
way, the flow has steadily been in the
other direction Gold b gone abroad
in such quantities as NOT only to offset
the balance OF trade in our favor, but
has taken from the Federal Treasury
three hundred millions of gold pur
chased by the Administration for the
accommodation of gold exporters. Some
Of tnis gold has gone to pay interest on
American securities, and some to pay
the cost Of travel in Europe by Ameri-
ans This last item is estimated by
some at one hundred millions year.
In addition to these drafts there has
been another, namely, the sale of Am
erican securities by their frightened
European holders Now, whatever
else occurs, it seems most likely that
American securities viii again be strong
in Europe, and that gold will be com
ing this way to pay for them, instead Of
going the other way to meet the de-
mand maze by their being forced upon
our own market.
There seems no doubt that the de-
mand for American wheat will exceed
the supply Taken altoge ther, there
seems to be fair protpect that the
general business tone of the country
viii so improve that foreign capital viii
be less tinid, and that for some time to
come business viii improve. What is
now required is that the calamity howl
ers of all parties and factions should
and that the American people
shall again so TO housekeeping. The

eral feeling of confidence viii, we hope,
to large extent, be an Offset for the

A BROKEN FRIENDSHIP.
It Was Terminated by a Bullet In
Frontier Town.

It was in the early days of town In
southwestern Kansas. The deadly 40
was the most respected law OF the
place, and daily and nightly in the
half-dozen saloons which the embryo
city supported was congregated as
rough set of men as could be founu
in any town OF the size west OF the
Mississippi, spending the time in gam
bling and carousing, says the Detroi'
Free Press. Monarch OF all the foushs
was Ed Prather He had eight notches
In the handle OF his trusty 40, signify
ing that by his hand eight human pe-
ings had been sent to their long nome
Prather's bosom friend was Billy Weils
and he too, was a "bad man., IN the
western acceptance OF the term. La
mon and Pythias We're not more frater-
nal than these two desperadoes. Wheh
one was seen the other was always
near If one got into trouble the other
was always on hand to assist MIN
| The tragic end of this friendship came
one summer morning. Prather haa
| lust successfully stood Off sheflli
and his posse and the crowd OF rousiis
was congregated in his saloon congrat-
Mating him, drinking to his health ana
celebrating the occasion by ming
themselves up with what is known III
western vernacular as forty rod pre-
paratory to terrorizing the town. SUD
denly Prather drew his revolver from
the scabbard and saying: Boys, Watcn
me put a hole through Billy's nat
fired.
There was yell of agony ana Weiis
| fell to the floor wounded to the death.
"My God, have I killed him. were
Prathers first words. Then. throwing
down his revolver, he sprang 70 the
/. side of the wounded man just as Tue
/ last culver came over the prostrale
/ form and the soul went to render its
1 account
For the first time in years solitary
/ tear coursed down over the hardeneu
| features of the man whose hands We're
newly stained with the blood OF lei
low-creature, but, ashamed OF this mo-
mentary evidence of emotion, he hasti-
" brushed away the tear and, turning
to the bar, called Drinks for the
crowd" and the carousal went on.
i Thus was one more chapter added to
the history of frontier life.
