Worked for Nearly an Hour at a Height
of One Hundred and Seventy Feet.
In the course of an account of the
progress of the preparations for the eel
ebration Of the czar's coronation at
Moscow, the London Standards cor
respondent deyotes a paragraph to the
feat of one of the Russian sailors whose
services had been enlisted in the per-
formance of the more difficult parts Of
the electric installation for the illumina-
ton Of the Kremlin:
81 watched this afternoon a cool
headed sailor climbing about the Rus
sian eagle which surmounts, at a height
of ITO feet, the handsome tower of the
Saviour's Gate. Every now and then
the electric current would be turned on
and few lamps fail to light up. The
sailor had then to climb, wholly unaid-
ed and carrying the tools with him,
round and about the huge eagle-it
measures about 20 feet across the wings
stepping on and holding by the out
spread wing feathers, for the most part,
until he succeeded in reaching and put
ting to rights the defaulting lamps.
The risk in the cold, raw weather of
to-day at such q height was immense,
and it was a relief when. after nearly
an hours labor, he reached compare
tive safety few yards below the peak
on which the eagle stands. The mo-
ment his hands were at liberty the man
devotedly crossed himself three times,
turning toward the sacred places with
in the fortress, an action which indi-
Gated pretty surely his own opinion of
the feat just accomplished, and sent a
thrill through the spectators just be-

of the bank officers if the banks are I'M
able to return as good money as they
received. They have loaned the banks
funds outat interest and, except IN cases
where officers have suspected the honest
intentions of their country and inserted
the gold clause in mortgages, the banks
themselves will have to accept depreci-
ated dollars in return for the full value
dollars loaned. They will, therefore,
have only cheap dollars to return to
their depositors. These depositors, then,
are the real creditor class of this coun-
try. Instead of being few and wealthy
there are over 10,Oo0,O0o of them hav-
ing deposits in all kinds of banks and
in building and loan associations, and
their average per capita deposits are
only $500. This country will not go to
a silver basis without the consent of a
large portion of these depositors. If
they do vote TO put it on silver basis,
several millions of them will be kicking
themselves the next morning after they
find out what they have done.

eLuFFEo OUT OF A BIG ROLL
Bold Plan of Robber In Denver to
Raise the Wind.

Bold Plan of Robber In Denver to
Raise the Wind.
Mr.. Moffat is the Denver banker who
was robbed of $4,000 in his private
Office one day at noon, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. The robber held a
revolver in one hand and q bottle of
nitroglycerine in the other. He re-
quested Mr.. Moffat to write check for
$21, 900 under penalty of being shot and
of having his bank building wrecked by
the explosive in the bottle. Mr.. Moffat
is reputed to be worth as many millions
as the number of thousands demanded
by the robber. He wrote the check.
The robber said he would have to
trouble Mr.. Moffat to go with him into
the paying teller's cage and produce the
cash; he would take $4,000 in large
bills, and $1,000 in gold.
IF you say one word, or indicate by
look or motion that anything is wrong,
I will shoot you and then blow up the
bank" Saying which the robber threw
a light overcoat over his arm concealing
the revolver he held in his hand, accom-
panied the bank president into the
teller's cage, received the money and re-
turned with Mr.. Moffat to the private
Office. He then repeated his threat TO
kill the banker and blow up the build

THE STRONG JAW.
When Found In the Human Species 1t IL
q Form of Atavism.

Wnen rOunu IN the human species IL -
q Form of Atavism.
. Among all old world apes the teeth
are the chief weapons for defense
against natural foes and for combats
for mates or for tribal supremacy, says
Blaclwood's Magazine. The CANNES
are in most cases enormously developed,
insomuch that ill-informcd naturalists
have suggested that near relationship
must exist between the primates and
the carniyora. AS matter of fact these
formidable teeth have nothing to do
with alimentation, but are as purely
weapons of war as are the bayonet and
the Maxim gun. In practically every
emergency demanding unusual energy,
obstinacy and courage, they come into
play.
In every conflict with the world, the
flesh and the devil-as such things, are
Understood in pithecoid society-the
temporal and masseter muscles are the
chief arbiters of war. To become a
great and powerful anthropoid, 1t is abb
solutely and brutally necessary to have
large and strong jaw, to give firm at
tachment to the teeth and good leverage
to the muscles. That for an immense
epoch our prehuman ancestors achieved
success in life in like manner is as clear
as the print of 'Maga" to those who
have learned to read natures handwrit-
ing.
Since those days of true Arcadian
simplicity our life has become bewil-
deringly complex, and our methods for
settling social difficulties have changed
generally for the better. But here, as
in so many other instances, the habits
of past age have left an indelible i'm
press on the nervous system.

Where the Germans stand.

Out of SOP German newspapers to
which circulars were sent by the Ger
man-American Sound Money league q
short time ago, 351 are in favor of the
free coinage of silver. Over 100 of the
500 German papers have thus far failed
to make any reply to the committees
circular.
The party that overloolzs the German
vote need not worry itself about official
responsibility. The Germans constitute
but small percentage of our politi-
clans, but are an important class on
election day.

SILVER AND THE POOR MAN.
Cheap Money Disarranges All Business

Cheap Money Disarranges All Business
Relations.
Every crank who ventures to proselyte
for free silver seems to think that the
poor man is his most promising game.
The doctrine he presents is that more
money is needed that the poor man may
have plenty. He does not say how the
poor man Is to get any more money.
which is the important thing, nor that
o cheap money is the one thing the poor
man can stand less ably than the rich
man. The poor man, the worlxingman,
or the farmer, are served only when
they have the best money obtainnble.
Suppose for a moment that free silver
should drive the gold dollar out of cir
culation. The first effect is on the poor
man. When he receives his weekly
wages it is paid in the cheap money.
He is/the first loser. He can buy less
WITH 1t than with the higher priced
money, of course. If he happens to be
earning $40 week and the dollars are
cut down from gold basis to silver
basis he win get 10 dollars, worth pos
sibly 70 cents each, or $40. instead of
the, value that prsyails when the gold

A Tight Lock.

At Timaru, New South Wales, two
women quarreled about bucket of
water, and from words came to blows.
After few minutes both women fell
to the ground with their hands twisted
in each others hair. They lay thus Crap
pling together for about a quarter Of an
hour, watched by screaming women
and children. A man then came up
and tried to separate them, but with
out result until he brought claw
hammer, by using the claws Of which
he unlocked the women's hands and
made them let go. The weaker woman
had to be assisted home.

HOW SAVINGS WILL BE LOST.
Providing q Free silver Law Goes Into
Force.

There will be millions of mad farm
ers, workingmen, clerks and profession
al men when they go to draw their little
savings out of bank after we have gone,

we foolishly decide to go there via the

depositors, who have $1,s10,597,023 in
savings banks. would all suddenly con-
clude to withdraw their savings and to
convert them into gold before we should
drop to the silver basis. Only small
percentage could obtain their deposits
before the doors of the banks would
chose. The great majority of depositors
would have to wait until we had actu-
ally reached silver basis before they
could withdraw their deposits, and this
picture shows the kind of money they
would obtain. 1t will not be the fault

standard Is accepted. Win cheap money
prices will 60 up. What he buys he will
have to pay more for. Manufactur-
ers are not going to produce their wares
and sell them for the same number of
dollars when the dollars are worth less
money. The poor man viii catch it in
both directions.
Cheap money disarranges all business
relations. There is no such a thing as
one standard for one class and another
for another class. The talk of the debt
or's money and the creditors money is
bunlxo. Every man is debtor and cred
itor all the time. The workingman is
the creditor while he is earning his
wages, until he is paid. He is debtor
for the few things he buys without pay
ing for when he gets them. AS he pays
cash for much of what he buys, and al
lows all his wages to stand until the
end of the week or month, he is cred
itor more than he is debtor. The cheap
money, which is to benefit the debtor,
would benefit the employer who owes
him wages, and who pays the wages in
the deprecated coin.
There is but one standard desirable,
and that is the best dollar that can be
made. The standard is now fixed at
trifle more than % grains of pure gold.
The aim of the country is to keep all
other dollars, gold, silver or paper, up
to that standard and not debase or
cheaper any of them.-Pittsburgh

COURTS LACK AUTHORITY
To Interfere With Certain Acts OF the
Legislature
Orange County Therefore Has No
Means of Recovering Moneys Paid
Out Before Separation

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.-The su-
preme court handed down a decision re-
Gently in the suit of Orange county
against the county of Los Angeles to re-
cover S19O3.7O claimed by the former to
be it's proportion of Sf9,G32.3S a repay
ment from the state for moneys paid
for the support of persons in INDECENT
circumstances from June 80, 1888, to
March IL, 1889. Previous to the last
named date the county of Orange was
part of Los Angeles county. After the
division it sued for it's proportion of the
money. The defendant filed a demurrer
and this demurrer was sustained by
the superior court. The matter came
before the supreme court, and in affirm
ing the decision of the lower court it
says:
I'm creating Orange county the leg
islature determined how the debts and
property Of Los Angeles county should
be divided and apportioned, as 1t had
full power to do. The act prescribed
the limits of each county's rights and
the methods by which they were to
be ascertaiped. In performing their du-
ties the commissioners doubtless in
tended to make the division as required
and If they failed to do so, the failure
arose through a mistake. The mistake
was one, however, which, in our opin-
ion, can be corrected by legislative ac-
ton only, and not by courts. The courts
are without authority to adjust matters
Of this character between counties.
