Electric Tugs.

The proposed new departure IN the
propulsion of tugs By electricity on the
river Spree, at Berlin, is assuming Dfac-.
teal shape. The scheme is to establish
a service Of tugs on The seven and one
half miles OF &c river which passes
through the capital, by connecting the
boats TO a trolley line The present
freight charge fer covering the distance
is $3.50. but It is estimated that by the
aid of electricity this charge will he re-
duced about one-half The success Of
such scheme would be quickly reflected
in this country. where the use Of electric
launches for both pleasure and CONNER
cial purposes has been retarded from the
fact Of the soare:ty 81 charging stations

Ouaint t,ourt Customs.

Though not imperious, her majesty is
a rigorous upholder of old customs, es-
pecially in connection with court mat
ters One quaint custom. dating from
the time Of the second George which is
still observed, is that of solemnly am
nouncing for the Queens benefit at the
dinner table the name of the cook who
prepared the dishes. Before each course
is partaken of a clerk in waiting of the
kitchen makes the formal announcement.
Another ancient custom which the Queen
keeps up is the choosing Of the password
to the tower of London. Only three per-
sons in the whole of the United King
dom are supposed to know it, and these,
besides. of course, the sovereign. are the
lord mayor of London and the constable
of the tower The password is chosen
quarterly. and after being signed by the
Queen is forwarded to the lord mayor
and the constable of the. tower. It is a
quaint old custom reminiscent of the

Gold Famine improbable.

Gold Famine Improbable.
In answer to the charge that gold will
GO abroad, it must bo remembered that
no gold can leave tins country until the
owner of the gold receives something in
return for it which he would rather have.
In other words, when gold leaves the
country those who formerly owned it will
be benefited. There is no process by which
we can be compelled to part with our gold
against our will, nor is there any process
by which silver can be forced upon us with
out Il consent. Exchanges are matters
of agreement, and if silver comes TO this
country under free coinage it will be Mt
the invitation of some one in this country
who will give somethingin exchange for it.
Those who deny the ability of the United
States to maintain the parity between
gold and silver at the present legal ratio
without foreign aid point to Mexico and
assert that the opening Of our minis will
reduce us TO a silver basis and raise gold
TO a premium. 1t Is no reflection upon
our sister republic to remind Il people
that the United States Is much greater
than Mexico in area, in population and in
commercial strength. 1t is absurd to
assert that the United States is not able
TO 40 anything winch McXlCO mas Ialleu TO
accomplish. The one thing necessary in
order to maintain the parity is to furnish
u demand great enough TO utilize all the
silver that will come to the minis. That
Mexico has failed to do this is no proof
that the United States would also fail.
II, asst is asserted by u opponents, tnat
the free coinage Of silver is intended only
for the benefit of the mine owner, it must
be remembered hat free coinage cannot
restore to the mine owners any more than
demonstration took away, And 1t must
also be remembered that the loss which
the characterization of silver has brought
to the mine owners Is insignificant com.
pared to the loss which this policy ha,
brought to the rest of the people. The
restoration of silver will bring to the peo-
pie generally many times ms much advan,
tage rs the mine owners can obtain from
it. While it is not the purpose of free
coinage to especially aid any particular
class, yet those who believe that the res.
t@oration Of silver is needed by the whole
people should not be deferred because an
incidental benefit will come to the mine
] owner

10 Fear of a snver alut.

If, for any reason, the supply Of gold or
silver in the future ever exceeds the re-
quirements of the arts and the needs Of
commerce we confidently hope that the
intelligence Of the people will be sufficient
to devise and enact any legislation neces-
sary for the protection of the public, 1t
is folly to refuse to the people the money
which they now need for fear they may
hereafter nave more than they need. l am
firmly convinced that by opening our
mints TO free and unlimited coinage at
the present ratio we can create a demand
for silver which will keep the price of sill
yer bullion at S1,29 per ounce, measured
BY gold.
fernaps the most persistent misrepre-
~sentation that we have to meet is the
charge that we are advocating the pay
ments Of deb in 5O-cent dollars. At the
present time, and under present laws, a
silver dollar, when melted, loses nearly
half its value, but that will not be true
when we again establish a mint price for
silver and cave no surplus silver upon the
market to drag down the price Of bullion.
Under bimetallism silver bullion will be
worth as much as silver coin, and we be-
lieve that "a silver dollar will be worth as
much as a gold dollar.

Were the government of the

people to whom patriotism
meant anything more than
plumber, the lovers of liberty
and humanity would welcome
interference by this country,
even to the extent of war with
Spain, on behalf of the Cuban
patriots. With plutocracy in
control, however, interference,
instead of resulting from hui
manitarian motives, can come
only from a desire for oppor-
tunities of speculation and
financial robbery. Cuba would
only exchange Spanish mis-

A STUDY IN SLEEVES.
A corsage Anglais, a long-watsted
English-looking bodice, with a narrow
waistcoat and small basques, is the
proper caper for this skirt, but many
of the bodices have the short, loose
sacque and wide girdle effects of the
French designers.
Sleeves are growing steadily longer
and closer at the forearm portion, with
only slight drapery or small puff at
the top to give breadth to the Shout
ders.
The coczy sleeve of the moment
clings to the arm like a glove, but II Is
a glove that admits of much tucking,
putting, shirring and wrinkling as far
as the sleeve proper is concerned. The
long wrist is pointed or bell-shaped and
comes as low as the knuckles, and
where the sleeve Is much decorated
smart idea is to hove the drapery at
the top sewed only in the arm hole so
as to show as much of it as possible.
For thin, ungainly arms, these new
sleeves, showing all sorts Of crosswise
trimming effects, are just the thing, but
more shapely members will, more often
than not, be hurt by them. For a
heavy arm the under sleeve should be
plain or trimmed lengthwise, and the
drapery at the top voluminous enough
to increase the look of sligftness. With
the very dressy gowns, even those in
heavy textiles. where the close under
sleeve is much decorated, it is made
of a thinner material than the gown
stuff. Thus a velvet bodice with
waistcoat and cravat Of yellow lace will
have the close sleeves also of the lace,
