From Tid-Bits.
A lady who buys provisions regularly of
a dealer in Boston was a little puzzled over
one OF the items In her monthly bill. The
item was as follows: ITO ID. psalmon. as.
Cd"
1t suddenly occurred to the lady that
she had purchased three pounds of salmon
on the date given and the meaning of the
mysteriously spelled word was apparent
to her.
Greatly amused. and feeling well enough
acquainted with the provision deal er 10 tell
him of the little laugh she had enjoyed at
his expense. she said. when She wcnc 10
pay the bill:
Mr.. Blank, had quite a laugh over the
way some one in your establishment spells
salmon"
When the item had been pointed out to
him. Mr.. Blank said. in a tone of contemp.
for such Ignorance:
That's the work of a new boollkkceper
have. I'm ashamed to have such bills
sent out. and shall have to speak TO him
about Ii. He is a good book eep... bat he's
got to learn to spell il he stays in hoy en-
ploy. Let me correct the bill"
Taking a pen, Mr.. Blank drew several
lines acrosss the word and wrote above it:
"Sammon."
There, ma'am," he said. complacently
handing back the bill. "Fll teach that
bookkeeper how 20 spell salmon wien he
comes In, CT tell him to find a new place"

FIGHTING AT CARM EN-
THE CUBAhS CLIMB UP ON THE NOUN
TA!NS TO FIGHT.
The Spanish Commander and Many Of His
Men Were Wounded and Nine
teen Killed.

Havana, Oct. 7.-According to the bull
letins issued to-day from the headquar-
tiers of the Spanirds a government force
has ambushed and captured a boat hay-
ing on board 207 boxes of ammunition,
and has also seized 249 boxes of ammuni-
ton, which the troops found ashore.
Both Of these lots Of ammunition, it is
stated, belonged to an expedition which
landed at the mouth of the river
Arimao, in the district of Cienfuegos,
province of Santa Clara, recently.
1t is further officially announced that
General Molina has captured, after a
short resistance, an insurgent camp sit
uated ON the heights of Riscadero, pro-
vince of Havana.
Lieutenant Colonel Allan was wound
ed during the engagement.
Col. Rotger, an official despatch says,
has been engaged with an inssrgent
force at Carmen, this province. The
enemy, the Spaniards say, occupied high
positions in the interior of the mountains
in that vicinity, and in this manner they
explained the fact that Col. Rotger lost
10 soldiers killed, and that he, two of
his officers, an army physician and the
man who guided the troops, in addition
to twenty-six soldiers, were wounded,
showing the Spaniards admit a loss of
nearly so men killed and wounded. As
against this the Spanish officials only
claim the insurgents left one captain and
one private killed, although they add that
the enemy retired with "the rest of his
loss"

A DECREASE IN AMERICAN EXPORTS
Spaniards Don't Like Our Biscuit, They Do Like
Our Bikes, but Have Little
Use for Either.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Consul General
Bowen has reported TO the State De-
partment on the commercial conditio ID
in Spain. He says from the figures it
would appear that SPANS trade has not
yet been affected by her military opera
tons in Cuba and the PHILIPPINE islands,
still there would be a very apparent de-
crease i'll the total expectations If the
amount of supplies of all kinds sent out
TO the Spanish troops could he ascertain
ed and until the Cuban war is ended, all
statistics of SPANS trade, the consul
says, must be accepted as somewhat
misleading. The consul is informed by
foreign commercial travellers that there
is a considerably less demand for foreign
goods in Spain than year ago and that
the trade outlook is not bright. United
States exports to Spain consist chiefly
of cotton, petroleum and slaves, and
in normal times amount to about S1S,-
100000 but during the present year will
amount to about SD, 100000. The Span
iards care little for our agricultural i'm
plements and machinery. Our whe

they buy they mix with coarser Russian

best in the world, but as they are more
expensive than English. French and Ger
man makes, few are imported. Bicycling
is not very popular in Spain, as Spanish
women do not regard wheeling in keep
ing with propriety.
Spain, the consul says, has high pro-
tective tariff and it operates adversely TO
the United States as we have no treaty
with her according lower rates. Anoth-
er serious question is that of exchange.
Gold is at premium of over 30 per cent.
Seven years ago 100 pesetas in Spanish
silver or paper would buy 100 francs
worth of French goods. To-day 100
pesetas would have to be paid for them.
Silver, paper and copper, all on par
with each other, are the only moneys
used in local commercial transactions
and in the custom houses. There is
practically no gold circulation in Spain.
Exchange being so high, the prices of
food and of living are of course affected
and the general tendency now is to adj
vance the prices of all commodities. Ger
tain English, German and French firms
during the past two years have estah-
lished factories in Spain to meet the
new conditions

senator Jones' Admits That There Can
BE B=t One Standard of Vaiue.
No government can maintain at n
time more than one standard of value,
any more than it can maintain NOR
than one standard of weight, or more
tnan one standard of measure, or more
than one standard of length. If there
be two or more standards of different
value, the standard of lower value Will
in practice become the only standard.
If ore goes into the market, the Law
being that 4 yard shall be either two
feet or three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the yard at a fixed price,
there will lie delivered to him carpets
measured IN yards of two feetin length.
Ii he buy coal by the ton, the law being
hat Il ton shall be either 1890 or 2,240
rounds, he will receive tors Of 1000
rounds each. If he buys potatoes by the
bushel, the law being that a bushel
shall contain either two pecks or four
pecks, there will be delivered to him
bushels of W pecks each.
On the same principle, if the law be
that a dollar IS either a gold coin, with
a bullion value equal to its face value.
OF a silver coin, with a bullion value of
only half its face value. and not con-
vertible at par into gold coin, the sell

value.
There re.er has been and there never
can be in any country at any time 4 BIZ
metallic standard, and the attempt 10
create q double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than al alter
mating standard, with the inevitable
consequences OF injustice with refer
ence to past contracts and uncertainty
with reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits in the
report of the silver commission of 1871
that whenever under the double stand
ard there is 4 variance between the legal
and market relations Of the metals the
standard would be practically based on
one metal, and it the cheaper and more
available one" The financial history OF
the United States and of France furnish
conclusive evidence of the accuracy of
the senator's view on this Point.-C.
