illustrated Journalism in the Orient.

illustrated journalism in the Orient.
'Illustrated journalism" says the Buff
falo Courier, has at last reached the
Orient. s. S. Sarkis, Syrian resident of
Cairo, is the editor OF a paper. al
Musheer' ('The CounsellorO. printed in
Arabic, and intensely anti-Turkish in its
views. In two recent issues brought to
the Courier by Syrian now living in
Buffalo there are cartoons poking fun at
Turkish officialdom. In some respects
these caricatures are crude, but the idea in
one of them is very clear and forcible. So
far as is known these are the first examples
of political caricature ever published in an
Arabic newspaper. Mr.. Sarkis. the editor,
fell under the displeasure of the Turkish
authorities while ago and fled to Eng
land, where, perhaps, he got his ideas of
illustrated journalism.

The Man Who Guides the Des-
TIMES of " Puck Has
tuberculosis.
RECEIVES CAREFUL ATTENTION
A Long Career of Hard Work Has
Undermined His Hardy
Constitution.

II. c. Bunner, long editor of the New
York Puck, who arrived here about two
weeks ago after a stay in Southern Califor-
MIA, is quite i'll at the Occidental. His all
nent is tuberculosis. DR.. G. E. Susdorff
is in attendance on him and has been
almost ever since he came here. Mr.. Bun
ner thinks this is better climate for him
than Coronado, where he went from New
York early in January.
He also tried Los Angeles, but that city
did him no good either. 1t is cooler here,
and partly on that account the noted edl-
tor finds it more comfortable. He is better
in the morning and worse at night. Some
times his temperature goes up to as much
as 1O4.
Mr.. Bunner is very plucky. He balieves
he will soon be well and able ere long to
resume his work on the weekly which has
become famous largely by the brilliancy
of his articles anu his wise counsel. Mrs.
Bunner is in constant attendance on him.
On their arrival here it was expected
they would be able to frequently see the
Cliff House, Chinatown and other places,
but beyond drive to Golden Gate Park,
out toward the ocean shore and around
the City littles they have not been able
to view the surroundings. Mr.. Bunner
has worked very hard since the founding
of Puck Before that he was a reporter
in New York. 1t is stated that he did not
work very hard then, but when Mr..
Schwarzmann and Keppler founded Puck
he began work as editor which aroused
his interests and called forth his most
earnest exertions for the comic paper.
He stood it for long time, and the in
cessant toll did not seem to work any i'll
to him but at length it began to have its
effect. He could not shake off the pros
tration which followed his best endeavors.
He finally concluded to travel, and did so
extensively. This winter he decided to
spend in California. Mr.. Bunner is but AZ
wears old

or to the City, but on the contrary re-
duction might follow the com bine.
He fancied that expenses might be re-
duced by operating the two com panies
under one management and that if re-
duction followed the public would get a
share of the benefits. He said the policy
of the gas company, while providing a
fair return to stockholders. was to make
the cost to consumers as low as possible.
The company had met the competition
offered by the electric light plants, but it
had been done by spending money to in
troduce new methods and to encourage
heating.

UNCLE HARRIS. WILL.
Most of His Small Estate Left to q
Stranger.

The will of Samuel Harris Iichtenstein,
better known as Uncle Harris, was filed
for probate yesterday. He leaves six
tenths of his estate to Miss Elizabeth
Ethel Clough, three-tenths to his brother,
Benjamin Lichtenstein, and one-tenth to
his sister, Mrs. Ella Levy. The estate is
valued at $1,000, and consists of claim for
that amount against his brother.
There is peculiar comment upon the
legacy to Miss Clough. The testator says
in his will:
On account of not being possessed with very
much money, through losses and so forth, l am
forced TO leave unto Elizabeth Ethel Clough,
the lady allude to in the above will, all the
money or property of any kind that 1 own
when l am dead; otherwise would have re-
membered my dear brother, Benjamin Lich-
tenstein, and dear sister, Ella Levy. as cannot
afford to leave Lizzie without but little when l
am dead
The Lizzie mentioned in the will is not
known to the decedent's relatives.

"Bimetallism," as commonly under
stood means two-standaed. 1t was never
intended to mean that, but 1t has como to
that. a "double standard" is delusion.
1t is impossible.
"Psrity," as commonly understood to
mean the sustaining of two metals at a
common value, is q delusion. The use OF
the word Is a iuggle. A makeshiit parity
exists today between gold and silver.
Today nearly 5000, ,oOo 600 of silver is on a
parity with gold. Providing the country
is rich enough, it can maintain tho parity
OF a limited amount of silver. With the
free and unlimited coinage 'of the white
metal it would bo impossible to maintain
the parity. National bankruptcy would
follow the attempt to do 1t. Even "Coin's
Financial School, the biz of the silver
ties, recognizes this ana suggest the
remedy that IL certain number of grains
OF silver cannot be maintained on a
"parity" with certain number OF grains
OF gold that the fixed weight o.. the latter
be reduced so that the parity can be
maintained. In other words, il 1t is i'm
possible TO make silver dollar Of 312. %
grains equally acceptable with a gold
dollar of 2322, why, then, reduce the
weight OF the gold dollar. The result of
that of course, would be that not only
would the silver dollar not be a dollar,
but neither would be the gold dollar.
We fool ourselves with such terms. Bi-
metallism is impossible. Parity is i'm
possible. "Douple standard" and
"equal value" are alike impossible. You
might as well talk about maintaining the
parity between a yard stick and 13-inch
rule. Silver is a commodity. Gold is q
commodity. Both sell in open market at
value depending on supply and demand.
For good reasons gold is made a standard
of value In most countries. Silver might
be made the standard. But both could
never exist as standard. The price OF
one would inevitably be reckoned in the
value of the other, and so would every
thing else that is bought and sold be
valued according to one of the "stand-
ards" Not both.

THE HESPERLANISED DELEGAT TION


"Hesperia" is the name of the special
palatiG.l car that bore the Rhode Island
delegation to the Democratic convention
at Chicago out there and home again.
Hesperia, according to the ancient
Greeks, was the region of the West and
the car and the convention com mbined evil
IDENTIFY had a very woody western influence
on the Rhode Island delegation.
They went West Rhode Islanders, with
the sound money platform of the State
convention aboard, and the tears and
blessings and hopes OF their constituency
In the buffet lockers along with other
damp things.
They have returned Hesperian ized-that
is, most OF them have.
They went out as Rhode Islanders. They
have returned as Hesperiaps.
The Boy Mayor of Woonsocket tells us
that we have no idea what great country
Hesperia is. lie says it is bigger than
Woopsocket and chock-a block with silver
enthusiasm.
To young and eloquent Woonsocketer,
who has never been further west than
North Smith6eld, the experience n.usI
have been intensely interesting. And the
observations of the Boy May or en- route
through IIesperIa are Interesting &c
listen to.
May be, though, owing to the rapidity oi
his journey and the fact that his immo.
date environment was suffocatingly close
and intensely silyery, the Boy Mayor did
not see and hear from all of Hesperis.
Hesperia is a large and diversified coun.
try. You can't take it nil in and correctly
estimate 1t from weeks trip TO Chicago
