SILVER IN THE ARTS.
Houses Furnished with Silver Rail.
ings and Baths,
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.


The increased use of silver, not only
in the arts, but as q substitute for
the baser metals, is a matter to which
the mine owners are devoting q consid-
cradle amount of attention in the hope
that in this way they viii create a pro-
htable demand for their commodity.
1t has, accordingingly, been proposed
that silver should take the place of iron
Tor the railings of houses, the periodic
al painting of which would not be need
ed, and so the silver ones would be as
cheap in the end, while their bright
ness and the light they reflect would
add beauty to their adequate efficiency.
In the house itself, it is pointed out,
silver might be employed for a great
many articles now made of other ma
terials, for example, the knobs or ham
dies of doors. pillars and stands for
lamps, hooks for clothes, and for a
variety of other objects, which will
readily occur to the reader, and all of
which will in their way, become orna-
mental as well as merely useful. The
present price, it is said, also makes 1t
an efficient and not expensive substi-
tute for electro-p plate, which was in
troduced on economical grounds in it's
place when silver was at least twice as
dear as it is now.
few wealthy people have already
had baths made of it. Among them
is Mrs. Vanderbilt, who, as the wife
of one of the richest men in the world
is able to indulge every whim Her
bathroom is fitted up with a splendor
recalling the glories of similar apart
ments in the Arabian Nights" 1t is
of highly DOliShpl white marble and
in it is a huge bath of bright silver,
which gives a delightful appearance
to the glistening water.
There can be little doubt that by the
artificial fostering of the use of the
metal in this manner much may be
done to increase its value

AWFUL SCENES IN INDIA.
Relatives of tie Misses Franklin
Hear from Them.

Anderson, Ind, Feb. 16.-ReIatlves of
Misses Stella and Josepha Franklin,
missionaries well known throughout
the central states, who it was feared
had perished in the famine in India,
where they are at work, heard from
them today. They have recovered from
their attack of the sickness.
In conclusion they say: I'VE have
despaired of ever giving American peo-
pie any idea of the famine. Ian
guage fails us and our senses become
blunted and hardened. People eat
leaves and grass. They sleep in ditch
es, and many are unable to drag them
selves from them, and die. Human be-
ings, with bones starting through their
emaciated flesh, or with mouth, nose
or cheeks swollen or wasting from i'm
poverished blood, or, with life going
out with a terrible famine complaint,
are common sights"
The girls are known throughout all
central states for their works and writ
ings for publications.

Travelling Doctor Arrested.

Cedar Rapids. Ia, Feb. 16.-Paul
Alexander Johnstone, heralded as the
most eminent mind reader in the world,
in company with DR.. T. NJ Walsh, las
been here for two or three weeks. Late
last night Johnstone and Walsh were
arrested on a charge of conspiracy and
placed under bonds to appear Wednes-

The charge will be that Johnstone,
while pretending to read the palms Of
people, has been telling appalling sto-
ries to the victims declaring they were
afflicted with some unseen, but dread
ful disease, that soner or later would
cause their death. He would then rec
ommend them to DR.. Walsh, who, as
an eminent specialist, might effect a
cure.
1t is alleged that the physician has
been doing the rest, securing from the
victims sums Of money ranging from
800 to 800. Johnstone and Walsh say
there has been no thought of defraud-
ing.

OLD SCANDAL REVIVED.


arrangement Of Empress Frederick
Rumoreas hut Not Credited.
Paris, October is,--Thc dispatch pub
iished here In the Rappel from Berlin to-
DAY. to the effect that Empress Frederick
IL about TO marry Count Seckendorf, who
FOR 20 many years has been attached TO
her household. first OF all the chamberlain,
and latterly Is grand master and chief
master of her court. is nothing more nor
less than the revival OF an old scandal
which reached its climax shortly after she
accession to tho throne OF the present en-
perpr. Pamphlets OF the most scurrilous
nature were being hAwked about under
meath the windows Of his palace. without
any interference on the part OF the police,
describing in the carscst language the re-
Eitlons between two parties, one OF whom
other as Count ST." the initial letter cnly
being used.
II was at the time OF the bitter light be-
tween the Empress Frederick and Prince
bismarck for the principal influence over
tno young emperor. and In English court
circles people dOa't hesitate TO ascribe the
origin Of this scar dalous gossip about En-
prets Frederick 10 the friends and adher-
ents OF the old ex-clpii, ;ellur, who hated
the ethprcss most bitterly.
What has given pretext and appearance
or truth to these rumors In the sight OF
eydl-minded persons is the fact that the
count has been most devoted and I'M
selfish retainer OF the empress for nearly
thirty years, and that he alone OF the mem
bers of the household shares her artistic
tastes and her artistic attachments Like
her he Is remarkably clever with pencil and
brush, and as the empress deyotes con-
siderable portion OF the day TO painting,
sketching. examining art works and dis
guessing art matters, 1t naturally follows
that he is her most fayorite and frequent
companion. and that the preference which
She shows for him excited tho jealousy OF
the other members OF her court
lie Is n short man, white bearded and
with snow-white hair. somewhat cffeminate
end nincng in his ways. and pres snting
the most striking physical contrast to the
late Emperor Frederick who was sin
gularly and-looklng and majestic man
The idea that the widowed empress should
dream OF rllying herself With the count Is
therefore preposterous all the most as she
is an exceedingly proud and ambitious
woman and realizes that her life In Ger
many would become intolerable were she
TO render herself guilty of such mesalli-
ance that would give an appearance of
truth to all the shameful rumors that have
been current In the past concerning the
place which the count was supposed TO
bold In her affections.
