Tells Them What He Believes 10 the
Financial Trouble.
Detroit, Aug. 19.-The star attraction
convention was Comptroller Eckels. At
the conclusion of his address he was
surrounded by more than a score Of
members who pressed forward to con-
graduate him and Snake his hand. A
vote Of thanks was unanimously given
the young comptroller for his speech
While Eckels was speaking standing
room was hardly to be had in the
theatre. but as soon as he had finished
the audience rapidly dwindled, leaving
such wide expanse of empty seats
that most of the addresses remaining
on the programme were put over until
this morning. Eckels was greeted
warmly when he rose to speak. He
severely criticised the Bland Allison and
(so-called) Sherman acts as being the
worst kind Of financial legislation. each
act making matters more disastrous
than they were before.
Probably the key note of his speech
was the following: The citizen who
notes the trend of events must see that
the cloud upon the beautiful horizon,
"hicn We count as already
ours. is the ambiguity in gov
ernmcntal contracts introduced by
the legal tender issues. In their 3D.
Grafton they constitute the strongest
hope of the advocates of the free COIN
age of silver. thus working a double
hindrance to the return of complete and
lasting prosperity. They are demand
oblisaticrs never retired, yielding to no
ordinary rules of trade necessities in
expansion or contraction in volume In
the very terms of the contract which is
borne upon their face are uncertainty
and doubt. causing from their inception
loss and expense to the people. They
at once enhanced the cost of tie ciyl
war and prematurely drove the country
from specie basis to one, for MANY
years. of irredeemable paper"
Further on he said: 1T is asserted
that when the revenues of the gov
eminent exceed its necessary expendi-
lures no further trouble will follow.
and the argument based upon former
conditions under a plethora of money
In the treasury is advanced in support
OF the contention. 1t is forgotten, how
ever, how greatly the burden placed
upon the treasury has been increased
through silver purchases and issues.
and how. under existing conditions OF
today, the treasury has no gold income
from the ordinary channels of receipts"

YESTERDAY WAS OPERATORS, DA,
Clinching OF That Injunction Seems t
Have Discouraged the Miners.

Pittsburg, Aug. 19.-Yesterday was
operators day, and from present ap-
pearances they have made a most eff
fective move and have nearly, if not
quite. checkmated their opponents, the
striking coal miners. The court'e decree
yesterday in making permanent the pre-
liminary injunction restraining the strik-
ers from camping, marching or in any
manner interfering with the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company's min
ers has had the effect of almost depict
ing the camps about those mines, and
apparently a general Generalization
among the campers exists. Camp De-
termination, at Turtle Creek, was re-
duced in numbers from 200 to fifty. The
men who were told to go home gathered
in an angry crowd and denounced the
officials bitterly. Secretary William
Warner came in for large share Of vi
tuperation from the crowd They de-
manded of him work or assistance. He
replied rather CURLY that he would get
them jobs in the workhouse.
After Warner left a number of the
men threatened to return to their homes
and so to work in their mines. They said
the strike was a fizzls. Some of them
left for Irwin and Greensburg districts
where they will look for work. Cr.ah
dillingham;, in charge of the camp at
Plum Creek. put a damper on the camp
ers at that place. He had just returned
from the city where he heard the courts
decision. He told the men there would
be no more marching and no need Of
such large number of men at the camp.
He advised the men to disperse to their
respective homes and get work wher-
ever they could. At this camp. where

THE BIGGEST CAMERA.
Made to Prove the Authenticity of the
Fair Signature


Fair Signature.
The largest camera in the world has
been constructed for the purpose of
throwing up the signature ON the Fair
will in San Francisco, so that Judge
and jury may determine by minute
examination of its letters whether or
not the document disposing of millions
of dollars is n forgery. The camera
has been made by Theodore Kytka, a
handwriting expert of San Francisco.
He was employed to investigate the
pencil will the day on which It was
filed.
Believing it to be a forgery, Charles
Fairs attorneys, Knight & Haggerty,
decided to take every possible means
to establish Kytka's theory. So they
built this camera.
With it an exact reproduction of any
writing can be made, magnified 5000
times. This means that letter one
twentieth of an inch in height can be
accurately pictured fifteen feet tall. In
this way, photographing one minute
section after another, the pencil will
could be reproduced so that each page
would be 5000 feet wide and 800 feet
long.
Mr.. Kytka's studio was not large
enough for this giant camera. In con-
sequence it has been built in two
rooms. The telescope part, which Is
made up of twelve sections, or bellows,
each supplied with little side-door en-
trance, is twenty feet long when
extended to its full capacity. This is
connected by black rubber cloth with
an adjoining room used as dark
room.--New York Journal.

BOUND TO BE SKINNED.
The Reformed Gambler Says Egotism
Wrecks Good Men.

81 tell you," declared the reformed
gambler, that there are people in this
country who insist upon being swim
died. Nine out Of ten of the men who
are caught know chat Shey are going
up against some kind of bunco game.
They have read all about it, but it is
the Internal egotism Of the average
man that leads him into the trap. He
knows that others have been caught,
but he's too smart for anything Of that
kind, don't you see.
II was at county fair in Iowa eX'
posing the tricks of gamblers. My
CRATE was in selling little book that
had on the subject. There was a
pretty lively gang there from a back
township, and when 1 showed them
how the shell trick was done, one
big fellow insisted that he could To-
cate the elusive pea and was bound to
bet on the proposition. l told him that
l was out of the business, but that he
was mistaken. Then they set up a
cry that | was fraud and afraid OF
my own game. l went over the whole
thing again, and showed how they
We're fooled, but must give the fellow
a chance or they would wreck my
whole outfit.
AT last. just to save myself, l let
him put up his money, and rendered it
back to him after had won. Then 1t
took three other men to keep him from
whipping me because took him for
squealer. One or two others insisted
on having try at it, and never turned
hair because of their losses. When
it came to three-card monte, it was
the same. Each of half dozen men
was sure that he could pick the card,
and, despite warning, would have a
try at 1t. and some of them two or
three times. When they were cleaned
out there went up a howl that L was
the rankest kind of fraud, and they
chased me three miles into the eoun-
try before 1t waes dark enough for mo
TO escape. Detroit Free Press.

Graded School Pupils Collected In Coaches

Graded School Pupils Collected In Coaches
for Three Miles in Every Direction.
OhIo's Western Reserve, that homo
of advanced ideas and institutions, Is
now advancing an idea that bids fail
to supplant the old time district school
1t is called the Kingsyille system, hay.
ing originated in that place In the
northern part of this country, although
1t Is now spreading with prairie-fire
celebrity. 1t gives to every pupil in a
township a graded school education,
securing it by means of coaches stop
ping night and morning to collect ana
return pupils for and from Il graded
school in the centre of the township.
The new plan is proving popular and
1t is RELOCATING the little stuffy district

These calls of coaches are operating
to both augment attendance and pro.
mote punctua1ity, the pupil being
marked tardy II not ready when called
for. The education in the teacher ser.

ization is found to go far towards off.
setting the cost of the coach service.
Prof. C. A. Corbin, principal OF
Klngsville high school, suggested the
system five years ago, his successor,
Prof. i. Il. Morrison, pushed 1t, and
Assemblyman William S. Harris, of
this district, procured the needed legis.
lation which is now resulting in Its
general adoption. Legislative reforms
in school government have accompan.
led this reform.
