STEVENSON APPRECIATIVE.
He VIII Render All the Service In
His Power.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, April 13.-Ex-
Vice President Stevenson said today,
when questioned about his appointment
on the commission for the promotion Of
an international agreement:
Il appreciate the compliment paid
to me by the president and will cheer
fully render what assistance / can to
accomplish the object Of the commits
sion. / am a bimetallist. / regard
the restoration of silver to it's proper
money function as the supreme ques-
tion in our own country and through
out the world. The Importance of the
question cannot be overStated In this
country, the increase In the volume Of
business is beyond computation. In
the light of these facts the rehabilita-
ton of silver is a prime necessity
Should its characterization become the
settled policy, the evil days upon which
we have fallen but dimly foreshadow
consequences yet to come. Whatever
our views may be as to the ability of
our government to maintain the free
and unlimited coinage of silver with
out the cooperation of the leading
countries Of Europe, it may be safely
assumed that every friend of silver in
our country will welcome international
bimetalliSm.
AS to the proba bility of the success
of this commission, it is known that
the trend of public sentiment in Euro
pean countries, as well as our own, is
undoubtedly favorable to bimetallism
Many of the publicists of England and
Germany are in earnest accord with our
government upon this question. Should
public sentiment in those countries
justify, an international conference
would undoubtedly be called and action
taken that would be deemed proper"

MICE IN A CHURCH.
They Create Panic Among the Fe-
male WOrshiDers.

An exciting incident occurred in the Bap-
tist church Thursday evening, when the
weekly prayer meeting was in session. In
the midst of the services several mice were
seen cavorting in front of the pulpit. An
elderly dame was first to catch a glimpse of
them and instnctively made a grab for her
skirts. Just then another daughter of Israel
spied the unwelcome visitors. Under ordinary
circumstances she would have screamed and
jumped on chair, but, controlling herself by
a superhuman effort, she puckered her frame
together and sat as motionless a statue
Others in her vicinity observed that she
was deeply moved. and presumed that she
was affected by the religious nature of the
exercises. unit, they, too, the mice turn
ing fip-faps and making all sorts Of threat
ening gestures, whereupOn they began to get
uneasy.
At this juncture the pastor noticed a wild
expression on the faces of his flock and as
he stepped forward the mice scampered in
