The now famous three cent car fare
law, which a federal Judge pronounced
null and void in Indianapolis not long
ago was, on Friday Of last week, de-
clared perfectly constitutional and
binding by the Supreme court of In
diana. That fact will not, in all prob
ability, amount to very much. One
federal judge, subordinate though he
be, is OF far more Importance that the
whole Supreme court of Indiana. Still
1t does seem odd to have the law
banged around in this way.-Twen-

the hours wear away until the stop

Artificial Gold VIII Simply Clear the
Way for Scientific Money.
What if a man has discovered the
process of making gold? 1t is nothing
really surprising.
Nature makes gold out of certain
substances transformed and fused to-
bether by the volcanic action say Of
fire and birthstone.
Gold doesn't necessarily come from
hell because it is made in that way and
a be cOrnered. If the constituent
parts and proportions Of gold have been
disco1 cred by a chemist named Brice,
and it he has applied his furnace and
poker according to Hoyle, he has made
gold.
If little Preston, of the United States
mint, says Bricc hasn't made gold, that
is nothing to the point. Preston was
appointed by Cleveland to say and do
what the gold thugs ordered, and he
has said that American silver was de-
monetized IL 1853 instead of 1873. Pres
~ p WIN 40 NoAAAA4Ou1ty "O4Iu dUOuL
as much as "a dicer's oath" or a har-
lots kiss,
That Lyman Gage says there is moth
ing in Brice's gold discovery proves
merely that the Rothschilds and the
Anglo-American bankers don't want
any more gold. Gage has given him
self away, for both a fiat and a rascal,
by declaring that the artificial produc-
ton of gold, if a fact, ought to be up
pressed. This, of course, means moth
ing more and nothing less than that
Gage wants gold kept scarce and dear,
for himself and his fellow-criminals
who arc robbing, impoverishing, and
enslaving the world by the gold stand
ard. Three cheers for Brice, the gold
maker, unless he, too, is as big a hum
bug as Gage and Preston! He can't be
a bigger one. anyhow. If he is honest,
he has done the best thing Of his age.

NATIONAL POLO LEAGUE.
ANNUAL MEETING WILL BE HELD
WEDNESDAY IN BOSTON.
Many of the Crack Players to Be With Maine
Clubs the Coming Season.

The annual meeting of the National
Polo League will be held Wednesday at
Clark's Hotel in Boston. Considerable
business of an important nature is on the
docket for consideration. Manager, Meik-
lejohn will be In attendance.
1t begins to look as II many Of the crack
players OF the league would play In Maine
next season. Owing to the loose way in
which affairs of the league have been
handled In the past the league has no hold
on the players and they are free to sign
with any club In Maine.
The New Bedford papers confirm the re-
port that John Roberts has signed to play
first rush and captain the Portland team
next season, and Ii Is hinted that the man
ayers of the Maine teams are angling for
other players. With several of the crack
players going to Maine, the break may be-
come general and the National League
clubs would be obliged to fill up the ranks
with younger players, condition that
would no doubt result In the death OF the
game I'm this section, where the best play
ers obtainable were none too good.
Polo was very popular In the Pine Tree
State last season, all the clubs making big
money with second class players. With
the cracks from the National League the
popular sport would take Maine by storm.
Manager Burnham cleared nearly 5000 In
Portland last season and this year predicts
even better season.

Voung woman who disappeared 30 mys-
Iteriously on the evening Of April 26.
Mr.. Stevenson keenly feels the loss OF
lhis favorite child, and as he told of her
many good qualities last evening the
stears welled to his eyes and he was for
sthe moment very deeply affected. In
all his troubles this child has been his
.mainstay, and she undoubtedly had con-
siderable influence with her father
1t was expected that some member OF
Mhe family would go to Nashua. N. H.,
yesterday and endeavor to identify the
girl In that place who was said to re-
eemble Grace, and whose movements
swere regarded as so mysterious by some
people. but nobody went, as the MEM
Beers Of the family evidently felt that the
uoune woman. was not Grace.
Now 1t is said that this young woman
IN Nashua. who went under the name of
SIrene Chandler. has disappeared from
khat place. and as she has not been seen
by any member Of the family there may
4be some ground for the supposition that
she Is Grace Stevenson. Certain II is
that the description given Of Irene

guess name for Capwell's new drink. The
conditions were that the name must not
