MKISLEY HAS NEVER wAvERED.
Teller Nouehes For Him as "A Consis-
tent Foe OF Free loinage.

Denver. Sept. 2-During the past few
years Senator Teiler's enemies have IN
dustri0Bsiy circulated the report that X
the senior Colorado senator and bis silver
colleagues had been willing 20 accept II.
they could have secured the coinage OF
the American silver product. Since the an
nOuncement OF the candidacy OF Mat Nc
Kinley. and especially since his nominal
ton. his Colorado friends have been par
giculaFly jealous in circulating the story,
some OF them even going so far as 10
intimate that they have Information from
Mai Mckinley himself Replying 20 an
inquiry concerning the matter. Senator
Teller has written the following letter:
Denver. Aug. @9.-aEOn. +. NJ AnmonS
Symcs. Col.-Dear Sir: Yours OF Al
gust .. In which you ask a. in 1870.
when the Mckinley bill vas passed. the
silver men could have secured the coinage
OF the American product. IS at hand Thss
story has been lndustriously circulated
throughout the West during the last Two
years There is not one word Of truth IN
the statement. There never has been
time when The passage ~ such bin could
have been secured through either house or
congress The free coinage Of she Ameri-
can pro1uct VAS always weaker tn both
bodies than the unlimited coinage OF sill
yer. There has never been president
since ! have been In political lie who
would have signed a bill for th, coinage Ok
the American product. nor has there been
a time when such vote could have been
had IN either house OF congress. At =.
Louis there Vas introduces in The commit
see on resolutions after they had voted
down the free coinage propos uon a pro-
vision FOR the coinage OF the American
product aut q received exactly the same
number Of affirmative votes. and
the same number OF negative
votes against .; t1at the uulimit-
ed coinage did. Those who state that there
has been a time when The free coinage ot
the American prodHct could have been Sc
cured are either grossly ignorant or very
wicked. AIR. Mckinley has never az any
time favored the coinage ~ the American
product. ard his letter % acceptance shows
that he Is not friendly 20 any legislation

The car stopped at Hillside avenue to
allow u big, pompous looking man to
get OH. There was but one seat in the
car that was not occupied by passcn-
ger, and that was filed by an enormous
bundle, beside which sat little quiet
looking man reading q copy Of The
Windmill
Il want that seat, )" remarked the big
man abruptly.
"All right" responded the little
one. why don't you take it:'
well. take that bundle out Of it. :"
growlcd the other.
Guess not" senteEtiously remarked
the man in the seat.
Whereupon the seeker for q seat called
the conductor, who informed the little
man that if he did not mt once remove
the bundle he would be thrown out into
the street.
"All right" said he. Fire away!"
The big man and the conductor seized
him and We're about to push him
through the door when q man sitting
opposite. just awakening to the situa-
tion, looked up and said:
"Oh, l beg pardon, that's my bundle.
Did you want it rcmoved?'
Then the little one wondered how
much he would have recovered in q
damage suit if he had been thrown off
the car. and the big man sat down
while his collar wilted and turned over
half way around his neck. West Med

attract most the benefit of his views.
Will he consent to do 50?
fMr. Mckinley declines the invi-
tation, what Is the Inference which
the public may justly draw from his
action? First, that he is afraid
he cannot prove before any
intelligent audience the good effects
which the country is to gain from
the continuation Of q policy
which has already resulted in 30
many evils. Secondly, that he breads
least his own financial record may be
cast up against him in public de-
bate.
II Mr.. Mckinley now declines
the opportunity OF meeting Mr..
Bryan on the public platform. there
Is one thing which he should do. He
should request the organs which are
such earnest champions Of his Chin.
ese craftsmanship to cease their at
tacks on the ability of his opponent.

The joke about four aces beating five
kings has been often sprung, but there
are few people who know that Bill
Langc of the Chicago team was the hero
of that famous incident. 1t was years
ago III San Francisco, when Lange was
budding boy and King kalakaua was
u social star during his trip to this coun-
try. Langc, although so young, was
even then IL hot sport, and, so it chanced,
happened one night to find himself in q
hot poker game, with King kalakaua
opposite. Bill had three aces-history
deposes not as to how many he had held
out-and kalakaua three kings. Every
body dropped out except the king and
the boy. kalakaua caught another king

Individuality and Style,

In one sense Fenelon was perhaps
right. Individuality is sometimes called
style, and man is seldom more sue

styles were but the expressions Of their
individualities. III the same sense Mi

Winckelmann would have pronounced
him barbarian; Teniers had style,
though Louis XIV called him ''mag-
got" and would not tolerate his pic

classicists said his pictures locked as

individualities? Is it not because they
