THE TALE LS TOLD.

While the British exchequer is tcmporiaing with the bmetalic question, procrastinating and pal avering in dallying diplomacy, there are other forces at work that reveal the true inwardness of British feel ing and which unmask British double-dealing. Bar silver has fallen i'll price one and one-half pence per ounce, responsive to the almost off cial announcement that the Indian hints would not reopen to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. This lndomitable fact puts at rest all the
 fiction about what England is going to do for silver and demonstrates as clearly as anything can be demon- strated that the mission of the American bimetallic commission is at au end and that the very able and courteous gentlemen might as well abandon all further effort and come home. If we arc to have the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, it must be done on our own account and by our selves, without waiting for the con. sent or cooperation Of any other nation. Mir Mckinley may be sim cere, as some of his friends claim, in tho desire to further the silver question. but his commission is | failure and the work so far done is q fraud. France would join us will lngly if France dared, but The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street has France tied to her apron strings just IS she has every other country of Europe and every country of the Orient America must stand alone or depend on such assistance as Mexico can give her. Japan and Corea, though close to the hyperbo- rean frontier, and tho langurous republics to the far south. are SO hopelessly under European influence that they are either under the single gold standard or are getting there as fast as they can. The invineible giant of the West, the land of Wash ington ana Jefferson, is the only free lance that dare enter the lists against the gold dragon. America must help herself and depend on no one else. = Gommtrcia}- ApIeat

Windsor Castle Treasures.

Those marvellous treasuries, the gold and silver pantries, which lie close to- gether i'll the northeast corner of Wind. sor castle, at the foot of the Prince of Wales tower, were until recent years very frequently visited by the queen, who, with her housewifely love of de tail. never considered it beneath her dignity to make intimate acquaintance with the vast quantity of articles in the precious metals, which have either been personal gifts to herself or form he reditary appanage to her state. Even lately her majesty has visited her pan tries i'll her wheel chair, and the present arrangement of the multitude of objects therein has been made entirel with her personal approval Apart from the in- terest which necessarily attaches to ar ticles which are in daily and intimate use by the queen, the plate at Windsor castle is acknowledged the finest collee- tion i'll the world and is more than worthy of consideration.
 The two so called pantries-which in reality are strong rooms of the most ap- proved and well arranged kind-are separated from one another by the plate cleaning rooms, which are furnished with all kinds of known appliances for the adequate polishing and burnishing of every kind of rare and delicate gold smith work. All the royal plate Is car. ried to these rooms in rotation and cleaned, whether in use or not, and the system employed for giving it out and receiving 1t back forms ample and re. sponsible work for the yeomen of the pantries and their assistants, many of whom are yeritable giants among men. as the weights that have to be moved are very often enormous. - Golfers Weekly.

have enlarged their floor space by tax

always done large business in agri-
cultural supplies, but their stock, per
force of circumstances, was scattered
among so many different warehouses
that it. was inconvenient to purchasers
TO examine the large variety of imple-
ments carried. The leasing of the new
premises gives them excellent oppor-
tunity to display goods, and at much
less rental than has been previously
paid for three warehouses.

Saloon for Bicycle Girls.

s'The Sergeant's," in big, bold, black
letters, owe the door of O little build
ing at 237 Pennsylvania avenue north
west, is the somewhat unusual sign
which has, since last Wednesday, at
tracted attention. Apeep through the
open doors at the interior, which is
fitted up with a handsome oak bar,
with the usual amount of looking-glass
and shelves full Of bottles, would
strengthen the first impression, but
forthe fact that almost at any time in
the day trim young ladies in bicycle
costumes may be seen, their dainty
feet resting on the rod in front of the
BAT, holding up a glass full of spark
ling liquid, and gazing at their refec-
tons in the bevelled mirror. The
place is unique in every respect. It is
a saloon in reality, and fitted up just
as the average saloon is fitted up, but
it is a temperance saloon. The pro-
prietor is James FL. McChesney, who
was formerly a sergeant in the regular
army. It is the only saloon in the
United States, he says, which is con-
Quoted as a saloon and yet at which
only temperance drinks are sold. He
decided that there was o certain fas-
~cination about a saloon which had as
much charm for the average young
man as the liquor he drank.
In the barroom there is a small side
table on which q free lunch is served
to the patrons Of the house, and in the
rear room are small tables at which
summer drinks are served. A space
has been left for a pool and billiard
table, which will be put in in a few
days. Coffee and milk are served to
those who prefer them to soda or min
eral waters. W Post.
