very bright, clear and rosy. his eyes ex-
traordinarily dark, piercing and bril-
liant fancied Goethe must have
been still more handsome as an old man

his house in the Frauenplan. once going

London, Sept. THE advance In
the price OF silver Is supposed 10 be
due to the holding back Of supplies by
America and by the idea that silver
currency will be wanted In India. The
purchases were chiefly for immediate

The Times and the Standard concur
In the opinion that the impression
that India will buy silver is mista-
ken one. The currency department
In India holds 10 ororcs OF rupees
