Bi.metalism Dad.

On Tuesday of last week commit
tee styling themselves the Executive
Committee of the Sound Money League
met at the Waldorf in New York city
Some of those present were Mr.. E. v
Smalley. Mr.. John K. Cowan, Mr.
Henry Willard, Mr.. Gustave Schwab
Mr.. M. E. Ingalls,, and many others OF
the same genus homo. Their first de-
claration was, international bi metal
ism as world possibility is dead"
1.-THE commercial necessities of the
world have demonstrated that dual
standard is commercially unacceptable
and, in the present stage of civilization,
impossible. The hour has come. it
seems to us, when q national recogni-
ton OF this fact is necessary.
The situation demands q definite,
clear, unequivocal declaration that in
ternational bimetallism is q dream OF
the past The United States must pro
claim their acceptance of the world fact
and plant themselves finally on the
single gold standard. The proclama-
ton of this monetary position will
quicken our commerce, increase for
eign investment and make permanent
the prosperous conditions which have
begun to manifest themselves in our
country.
I'VE invite the friends of sound
money and all who would contribute
to the well being and safety of our
commercial life to join in bringing
about the unmistakable declaration
that now and henceforth the monetary
system of the United States shall rest
on the single gold standard"
A contribution of $500 was voted to
the Indianapolis Monetary League.
And on motion of Mr.. M. E. Ingalls,
$1,000 was voted to enable Mr.. M. G.
George to "spread the light" in Oregon.
]. Sterling Morton. former Secretary
OF Agriculture and vice president Of
the league for Nebraska, wrote, under
an October date, as follows:
s'Mr. Bryan and his disciples are &C
lively engaged in their propaganda of
money fallacies. They have united III
one conglomerate all the fanatics,
bigots and idiots in this State for the
purpose of upholding the free coinage
of silver at ratio at 16 to 1. It is pain
full to observe that this aggregation
may possibly make a majority of 20, 1000

who represent all that is inimical and
disastrous to agriculture, and, in fact,
to sound government everywhere"
These are some Of the pall-bearers who
attended the funeral of bimetalliem
last week, and for the ninety nine
thousandth time buried it like Lucifer
never to rise again. This burial was
necessary because just one week before
to the day, the old corpse had been
hopping around at such lively gait
that fresh sepulture was imperative,
New York city had elected mayor

Morton writes, and in other parts.of

thing before them, and especially so in

That was sad death, the death of
Bimetallism last week. 1t was not
suicide however, 1t was murder, and
its body was cut up and thrown into
the river at New York. The murder

was found. Mr.. Cowan told Mr.. Ingalls,,
and Mr.. ingalls, told Mr.. Schwab, and
Mr.. Schwab told Mr.. Willard, and thus
the secret got out. Murder will out

IurUQer investigator mas been made and
Feagles who lived alone, had room OF
two stored with goods of almost every
conceivable character, stolen far and
near. A statement has reached us that
he had an arrangement SO fixed with
dynamite at his home that in the event be
should be attacked he could blow up his
pursuers. He was known to be a dead
shot and always to go armed.
Several years ago a brother of the dead
postmaster was indicted for murder,
it being charged that he had waylaid
a prominent citizen and Killed him for
the purpose of robbery. But he was
acquitted as the evidence was entirely
circumstantial. Feagles. who was kill
ed was known to be man about whose
life there was suspicion. He lived
alone, was secretive and long before he
was killed was suspected of theft by
many, and when these men who did
kill him were set to watch him, it is
said that the man losing the goods,
told them he suspected Feagles and
that they must look out. The incident
has excited probably as much interest
as any occurrence happening in the
southwest for some years, and to say
that Feagles has not been regarded by
many of the people of Pulaski as a
notorious and dangerous character
would be to say what is not the fact.
But whether Gen. Walker kneaD him
as thief or desperate and dangerous
character is the only question at issue.
Many people thought he did or if not
that he was wilfully deaf or wofully
blind. GEM WalkerEsays he did not
know these things. We have only re.
peated rumor which is largely cir
culated in Gen. Walkers own neigh
borhood, we do not personally know
whether Gen. Walker evet knew Fea
giles by sight, but since we have a
dsLial by Gen Walker over his own
hand that snch rumor IL untrue We So

A Revolutionary Relic.

Among the many curiosities in the
museum of the Schenley Park Carnegie
library is a canvas knapsack carried in
the war Of 1912 by Robert Ross, loaned
by his grandson, A. Marshall Ross of
Confluence, Pa. From memorandum
attached to the knapsack we learn that
Robert Ross was born near Masontown,
Fayette county, Pa, Nov. 2S, 1856. He
served in the volunteer army during
the entire war of lSl2-15, having enlist
ed at the first call for troops and prompt
ly re-enlisted at the expiration of each
term of service
One of his enlistments, the second,
was in a company commanded by his
uncle. Captain James Andrews, Second
tZumalt's) Ohio regiment, the others
were in Indiana regiments He was ia
a great many sanguinary engagements
and important and dangerous reconnois-
ances. He was wounded at Fort Erie.
and the bullet was never extracted.
When discharged after the close of the
war, he enlisted in the regular army
and served until his death at Baton
Rouge, La. Jan. 8, 1922, in Company
A, First United States infantry. -Ex.

Carrying Out Instructions.

There was young man whose social
education had been somewhat neglected,
and it CHANGED that he received an invi-
tation to church wedding.
The morning of the ceremony found
him quite excited, and he started for the
church some time before, as he would
have said, "the show was billed to come
off"
Under his arm he carried a small
bundle, and before he had proceeded far
he met friend.
Hello" said the friend, land where
are you going all dressed up at this
time in the morning?"
Wedding, answered the young man
briefly and proudly.
Indeed? Going to do some errands
on the way?'
Certainly not.
but you're not going to wedding

SnceZing.

When travelling in the south of Ire
land some years ago, was not little
surprised TO hear every one in "a room
shout, God bless you, A" when any per-
son sneezed, and the "God bless You"
was repeated for every sneeze. / have
since learned that this salutation has an
origin going back to the sixth century,
when the black plague fell upon Rome.
Its victims showed the first symptoms
by sneezing. When the African king
OF Menomopata sneeZes, all those near
his person send up great shout, all
within hearing take it up, so that the
sneeze may be said to go echoing
through the kingdom. One would think
the subjects would soon get hoarse if
their sovereign CHANGED to have an old
fashioned New England hay fever.
When the king of Senaar sneezes, his
courtiers turn their backs on him and
give loud slap on their right thigh
There Is great deal Of character in the
manner Of sneezing, and though even
George Washington could not be dig
nified when he felt sneeze coming on
and was in doubts whether it would
come TO head or not il must be con-
fessed that good sneeze is more pleas
urable than otherwise - New York

Edison's First Invention.

In early life Edison secured position
as night operator at little way sta
ton near by. There was practically
nothing 10 be done during the night, as
no trains ever stopped at the little sid
ing, but IL was necessary TO keep an op-
orator on duty there in case of emer-
gency.
Edison soon chafed under this mac
tivity. Night after night he watched
through the weary hours until daylight
without having sent or received sim
gle message except the perfunctory sig
nal-the letter B''-which all opera
tors were required 10 send over the wire
every half hour as proof that they
were on duty and at their posts. Final
~ the future wizard" began some
electrical experiments to while away
the time. Within IA few days he had ar
ranged a switchboard continuance on
the clock which every 30 minutes re-
leased an automatic attachment that
autographed the signal "B' and the
number of the station over the railway
wire.
After that life was too easy for the
young operator lie would 90 on duty
early in the evening, and after having
several conversations over the wire with
the train dispatcher would turn on the
switch and go to sleep on a cot in the
rear of the Office. Throughout the night
TIE clock would report the station ION
duty" regularly every half hour.
This device worked like a charm. No
one knows how long it might have re-
manned in use were il not for the fact
that in an evil moment the young in
ventor took another operator into his
confidence. The latter attempted to con-
struct an automatic machine and failed.
IL succeeded, however, in tangling mat
tiers so badly that an investigation was
set on foot, which resulted in retiring
young Edison to private life for several
years. Chicago Times Herald

Dangerous Ink.

1t sometimes happens that a trifling
scratch or punCture made with a pen
gives rise to dangerous septicamia.
The chemical constituents of the ink
which is introduced by the pen into the
wound are not capable Of producing sep
ticamia, but microscOpical examina-
tion proves that the i'll effects are due
to the liability Of ink to contain patho-
genie bacteria. DR.. Marpmann of Leip-
sic has recently published the results of
the microscopical examination Of 81
samples of ink used in schools. Most of
them were made with gall nuts and
contained saprophytes, bacteria and mi
crococci. Nigrosin ink taken from a
freshly opened bottle was found to con-
tain both saprophytes and bacteria. Red
and blue ink also yielded numerous
bacteria. In two instances DIR. Marp-
mann succeeded in cultivating from
nigrosin ink bacillus which proved
fatal to mice within four days. This
ink had stood in an open bottle for
three months, and the inference to be
drawn from the inquiry is that ink
used in schools should always be kept
covered when not i'll use. London Ian

Tedious Work OF Old Bookmakers

During the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries monks frequently isolated
themselves from the world and repro
duced the Bible in illuminated manu-
script. The work was necessarily slow
and in no instance was it accomplished
in less than 30 years. Guido de Jars
was a producer of these illuminated
manuscripts, and beautiful specimen
of his work was sold along with the
books of Sir W. Burrell in 1890. This
copy Of the Bible had occupied half a
century in its production. A note in the
beginning of the manuscript in Jars
handwriting indicates that he began his
task in 1914 and did not conclude it till
1894.
