CdAHIEh 1f.
John Kendall read this review OF the
Powell mystery with care, and when
its perusal was concluded he bent his
head upon his desk and groaned in bit
terness. A year had passed, and the
bright hopes that characterized its open
ing were clouded with shadow that
was eating out his life. He had grown
pale, thin and nervous.
One by one had been destroyed the
hopes they entertained that the mystery
would be solved. Suspicion, faint at
first, but gradually growing stronger as
theories came to naught, was now gen.
erally directed against the unfortunate
young man, and in the minds of many
his wife shared his guilt His actions,
he felt certain, had been carefully noted
for months Every transaction he made
in the affairs of his employer was
watched and commented upon. No mat
ter which way he might turn, he was
confronted with suspicion.
Throughout the long search he had
given the authorities every possible as
sistance-throwing open to their in
spection all the books and papers in Mr..
Powell's Office, subjecting his own home
and private life to their research, tell
ing the whole story Of the happenings
of those four eventful days Of May
dozens of times over, only to be met
with SUSPICIOUS looks and piled with
suspicious questions. Detectives dogged
his footsteps. Men pointed him out to
each other as he passed Revolving
criminal characters leered at him and

saving in that place that his heart was

When Tanner appeared there was Q
demonstration that lasted for several
moments. The band played Yankee
Doodle" and then "Dixie." Finally
Tanner was permitted to talk and made
one of the .wittiest and most eloquent
speeches yet heard during the reunion,
bringing smiles and tears alike from the
generals on the stage and the privates
Oh the floor.
He declared during the course Of his
speech that he wished to see John B.
Gordon in the White House, where he
would see that no semblance Of mon.
archial government would ever creep
into the nations capital. Another scene
followed. Pandemonium reigned for q
full two minutes. Women arose and
waved their fans and handkerchiefs
Men threw their hats into the air and
shouted themselves hoarse. At the con-
clusion of Tanners really wonderful
speech the band played Bonnie Blue
Flag" Another scene followed.
General J. M. Currie's address upon
southern war history was another prom

REpENTANT PASSENGER.

We were aboard the steamer North
Star, Captain Jones, in the Caribbean
sea, in the midst of fearful storm
that ragged for three days. We were
too heavily loaded forward, and each
time when the bow of the boat shied
off the side of a great mound of wa;
ter-there were no longer regular
waves-we thought We should never
come up again.
In the bow of the vessel was stored
great quantity of shot and shell for
Fort Acatraz. Some big iron guns
were also on the bow of the boat.
These were run back to the stern.
Next overheard went over 100 tons OF
shot and shell, as these would sink
before reaching the wheels.
In the forward steerage were sew
[eral families of Portuguese immi-
grants, and slowed away on each side,
and secured with stanchions, were
several tiers of barrels of lard. Tho
stanchions gave way, and the barrels
began rolling about among the Portu-.
guese, breaking the arm of child
and an old woman's leg.
There was call for volunteers to
tighten the vessel. Soon two long
rows of barrels of. lard-ole on each
side of the ship-were seen travelling
| to and over the stern. We dare not
throw them off forward of the wheels,
though shot and she'll were going
over the bows at q lively rate.
While all this was going on, there
seemed to be almost as much water in
the air as in the sea. While some
were praying, others we're cursing-
while weeping and wailing mingled
with insane laughter-the attention OF
a few of us was called to the dolorous
and ludicrous action of gawky-look-
| ing young man amidships. He was
holding to brace with his left hand,
while in his right hand was an open
Bible, in which he was trying to read.
At one monent he would roll his
ewes heavenward in mute appeal, and
at the next turn them upon the sacred
page and mutter-dodge an inpour-
ing deluge of water, and then lift
his eyes skyward. The situation was
too ridiculous, and we would have
laughed had we been sure of going to
the bottom the next moment.
eyes, you fellers may laugh" said
the man, dolefully, "you may laugh
but I say that any man that leaves a
good farm and wife and one child in
Michigan, with young orchard just
beginnin' to bear, to come to California
to dig goold, is a material d-n fool |"
And again he bent his eyes upon his
Bible.

Nashville Gets the Ne.s Reunion.

Nashville was chosen as the place for
holding the next reunion. A resolution
was offered that the reunion be not later
than May 10. This was defeated. and
the time for the next meeting was left
to the committee Of arrangements to be
fixed hereafter.
General johnson of Alabama, Gen.

for loans in preference to merchandise,
those who have put aside commercial
paper to loan on stock exchange secu-
rites in furtheraDce Of some specula-
tive scheme, have found the inflated
value given by manipulation to the
stocks they hold as security for loans
shrink away, and they find themselves
no longer with security for the adj
vances they have made. And with
their resources thus undermined an
unmistakable demand on the banks
for money has set in. Already the re-
serves of the New York banks are
closed down to the legal limit, already
there Is feverish calling of loans,
already there is rumor of an issue of
clearinghouse certificates. Our bank
ing system is again on the brink Of
being subjected to another test. And
when subjected TO the test, it must as
in the past, fail.
The shortcomings of a system un-
der which our banks undertake to
redeem In money credits issued to
three or four, or five times the amount
of money In their vaults seem again
about TO be exposed, and our banking
systemsseems on the verge Of being
subjected TO a test that will bring be-
fore our people the dangers of sys-
TEN that makes possible the issuance
OF large credit fabric redeemable
nominally in money, but for which
the banks cannot provide the means
of redemption, and resting in the
case OF many of the banks in the large
cities, and especially in New York on
securities Of purely speculative value.
Thus will the attention of our peo-
pie be fastened on the unsoundness of
a system controlled by those who so
loudly proclaim their advocacy of a
sound monetary system, and thus per-
chance will the Vaccinations of the
money cliques to enslave our people be
overthrown.
Let bimetallists of all parties pull
together, let those who are resolved on
freeing our people from dependence on
foreign money cliques and theiT
American allies put aside party pre-
judices, let Democrats make it easy
for Populists to throw their strength
TO Mr.. Bryan by according them taiI
treatment and recognizing them as
men who are prompted by patriotism
and resolve to free our people from
the yoke Of the money power, let Pop
ulists, on the other hand, put aside
their petty jealousles within their
party as we'll as without; above all let
all parties drop the assumption that
they alone have a monopoly of patrio-
tism, an assumption both Of Dem
ocrats and Populists that crops out
from time to time, let us all give ouI
support TO Mr.. Bryan and the prin'
ciple of American Independence fol
which he stands, and come what may
we will contound the Vaccinations OF
the money cllques to enslave our peo-
pie and we will inaugurate an era OF
prosperity and advancement for Our
