When the wicked sorceress saw him

from afar, she cried out:
"Accursed be thoul Thou who has
stolen my child from me! Hast thou
come to satiate thy cupidity, unhappy
mortal? Why hast thou returned? did
not summon thee to thy doom. - AS she
pronounced these words she flung down
on the heads of the horsemen quantity
OF jewels, which were at once trans
formed into snowfakes, then into icicles,
which were carried swift and thick by
a whirlwind into the air, binding the
unfortunate prince and his companions.
They were unable to see and lost
their way, some falling over precipices,
utterly stunned. Prince Porfia alone,
impelled by his desire for vengeance
and his intention Of strangling the wick
ed Baba, mar ched on to the castle, but
he was SO speedily enveloped in the icy
missiles that he could not lift a limb,
and before he could utter word he was
buried deep in the snow.
Baba Coaja Knocked him with laugh
Of hatred, saying:
''Now she will come to him and not
to me, but she will come to my abode,
not to his. So at least shall have my
dear daughter once again near to me,
and she will no longer dwell with hated
mortals."
In truth she had but short time to
wait, for Alba came coursing up the
mountain, exhausted by the distance
she had run, her delicate velvet dress
soiled by the melted snow.
"Where is he? Oh, where is he?" fall
tered she, with pale lips.
"Ah," cried the old Baba, "thou
hast fled from thy home with a strange
man, and now on thy return thou ask
est first of him and not Of me- Well, he
is not here"
"Oh, surely he is, that l know, for
followed his track quite up to this heap
of snow"
'He has not advanced farther!'' said
the Baba. Neither will he do so. Ee
lies smothered there by thy precious
jewels"
With cry of agony, Alba flung her
self on the snowdrift and searched in
vain with her delicate hands for traces
of her lost love, but the mantle of snow
which embraced him was already too
heavy, too frozen and compact. Crying
out, "Oh, mother, mother, what hast
thou done?" Alba fell dead on the icy
snowdrift.
Thence issued from the Baba's wither-
ed throat shrek so shrill and piercing
that the mountains rocked as if shaken
by an earthquake, and the mighty cita-
del crumbled and buried the Baba with
all her gold under its mass of ruins. On
| the exact spot where the fair Alba ex-
| pired there sprang up a delicate noun
| tain flower whose petals resembled a
thick white velvet. In her memory it
was named Alba Regina, but in German
and many other languages it is known
as edelweiss. White and pure as the
young girl who died there, it blossoms
| only in the regions Of perpetual snow,
which envelop her beloved.
| Perhaps Cne of these days the snow
may be again changed into precious
stones, but that can only be when an
other such chaste and pure virgin passes
over the cone of Baba Cetatia.
The beteela spun by the good Alba is
still eagerly sought for. Each bride
hopes to have the JOY Of finding it, and
it is for this reason that none breads the
witch's terrible golden strands, for each
| believes that Alba's beteela will come
| to her, and that she will share the bliss
it will bring to her with her bride
groom.

These wicked beings against whom

More Creditors Than Debtors.

The Teachers Cooperative Building
and Loan association of New York city,
has 615 members. Of this number rs
are borrowers of funds-thatfs, debtors
to the others. If this ratio is main
tanned in the 5000 building and loan
associations in this country, having
100000 shareholders, there are about
100000 debtors to 1,5S0,000 creditors,
or more than seven creditors to one
debtor.
Free coinage at sixteen to one would
undoubtedly help the debtors. Itwould
enable them to settle their obligations
to their fellow members at so cents on
the dollar. But are the 100000 credit
ors all bloated bondholders whom ii
would not wrong to legislate out OF
their property in this way? And are
the 100000 borrowers all poor and de-
pressed by heavy mortgages at usurious
interest? Not much! The debtors are
usually worth more than the creditors
Will the seven creditors, out of sym
pathy for the one poor debtor, this year
~ote to cancel one-half of his debt? Not
If they know on which side their bread
Is buttered.
The whole free coinage superstition
Is delusion. There are far more credit
ors than debtors, and, strange as i
may appear, the creditors are compare

Ravages OF Disease Among Spanish Troops
In Cuba Increase.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman, of the marine hospital
service, has received an official report
from DR.. Bun CESS, United States sani-
tary inspector at Havana, stating that
on May Is he paid one of his frequent
visits to all of the eight hospitals in
and around the city, including the
military, civil and private institutions.
He ascertained that nearly all the vel
low fever in Havana at present is
among the soldiers at the military
blishment. During the week of
his visit IL new cases of the disease de-
veloped among the troops and five
deaths occurred. On the day of his
visit rain fell for the first time in six
weeks, followed by exceedingly hot
weather.
DIR. Burgess declares that the effects
of these warm rains will be an increase
( of the disease both in Havana and
along the trocha, where the sanitary
condition is poor. Smallpox, he writes,
which has existed in Havana for more
than IS months, is again on the in
crease and fears are entertained that
it may become epidemic, from go to rs
new cases having developed in the last
! xyaals

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
Not Much Danger of This Country john
Ing China and Mexico.

Ing China and Mexico.
Mr.. Louis Windmuller is one of New
Yorl<'s leading merchants who has
large transactions with German and
other foreign houses.
In a recent number of the Berlin Ma
tion, one of the influential periodicals
in Germany, he explains to foreign
holders of American securities why it
III probable that the United States will
stick to gold as the standard of value.
While nos understanding the grav-
ity of the present situation he finds sew
cral reasons for thinking that this
country will not take its place with
Mexico, China and other half-civilized
silver standard nations. One of these
is "the recent rise in the value of sill
yer caused by eastern demands, and the
Increased production of gold" which
''may continue until our miners will
cense TO grumble." He reasons that:
"a large supply of gold is apt to in
crease many values. Wheat and some
other staples have risen and may con-
tinue to rise until our farmers become
reconciled to the gold standard. Mean
while, in consequence of information
spread through various channels, many
of them begin to doubt if cheap dollars,
If legalized, would be more easily OBJ
tainable than honest 100 cent dollars,
and if the thrifty would be more in
clined to part with savings the value of
which had become diminished by un-
just laws"
In his opinion, "the great political
parties cannot trife with the financial
question. The people are tired of un-
certainty, and majority will probably
vote for the presidential candidate who
has the best reputation for sound
money principles and the courage to
adhere to them irrespective of party
Leaders in the republican and demo
cratic conventions ought to vie with
each other in choosing the most stub
born advocate of the single gold stand
ard, and will do so if they appreciate
the drift of public opinion"
1t ought not to be necessary for Mr.
Windmuller, or for any other influen.
tial business man, to reassure foreign
investors that we shall continue to pay
