A trifie more than 100 years since John
Wesley, ahe founder of Methodism. organ
tied Sunday school In the town of Sa-
yannah. The rules of that Sunday school
were different from those that prevail now
adays. The children were compelled to at

fine clothing was no excuse and 30 1t hap
pened that many of the boys and girls pre-
sented themselves In their classes without
shoes or stockings.
The colonists were, many OF them, too
poor to buy shoes, or even much clothing
of any kind. But the climate i'm Georgia
is mild and 1t Is no hardship to go scantily
clad.
Human nature, however, as 1t showed
itself i'm John Wesley's Sunday school was
tho same as it Is now. The children who
could afford shoes fell into the habit of say
Ing disagrocable things to the barefooted
boys and girls. When Mr.. Wesley heard Of
this from the parents of the children whose
feet wero bare and whose pride was sensi-
tive. he pordered for awhile as to what
course it would bo wisest to pursue First
he thought he ought to Insist on all tho
children coming TO the Sunday school bare
footed.
Then he considered ,ccturing the offend
ers soundly on the sin of vanity. He did
neither, but the next Sunday what was the
surprise of teachers and pupils to see

One can fancy that those who wore shoes
drew their feet far back under the benches,
and the barefooted ones, conscious of being
in good company, SAT very straight and
looked satisfied and happy.
In tho course of the session Mr.. Wesley
took occasion to speak of the fearfuIty and

The pawtuckets took tn lead in the first
inning and held il throughout. The con-
test was uninteresting for the reason that
the result was never in doubt. Cook
started to do the twirling for the locals
and the visitors found him an easy mark.
Capt. Stouch and his men beat a merry
ta;to on bis benders and when the smoke
of the first inning had cleared away the
Pawtucksts had chalked up five runs to
thsir credit.
Wilder was assigned ID do the serving

neited the home team three runs.
Norcom was called into the game for
Fall River and Mr.. Cook was assigned to
warm the bench. The heavy hitters from
the Blackstone Valley found no difficulty
in solving Norcom's delivery. The visit
ors scored four runs in the third inning
and duplicated the feat in the fifth.
Against Norcom was pitted young Nc

delivery. Reilly for the home team and

Nc, co nnd ths Silver standara.

A Washington special in an eastern
contemporary says that the director Of
the mint, Mr.. Preston. is greatly inter-
ested in the report OF Consul General
Dudley. from Mexico. in which Mr.. Dud-
ley informs the state department that
there has been a marked rise in prices OF
all commodities in that country as the
result Of the fall In silver. while there has
been no corresponding rise OF wages and
salaries. This ii true, says Mr.. Dudley.
especially OF domestic products, includ-
ing rents, and the conditions OF high
prices are expected to exceed those In
this country during the civil war when
gold was at a premium.
The director OF tho mint thinks that
Mexico will eventually have to place
herself on n gold basis, as well as all the
other silver countries of the world, Mr.
Preston says further: II have flxed a
limit Of fifteen years for this change to
occur but II would not be surprising to
me II II should take place In less time
When Japan recently adopted the gold
standard she fixed ratio for silver coin
age at 32h to 1. Now the ratio II about

To the esteemed Intelllgencer: Under
the operation of the Dlngley bill the
deficit In the treasury Off the first twenty
three days Of August was $lS, 2sS6SS, The
crease the revenues" Is this the sort of
thing which is to bring US national pros
perlty?-Reglster.
Does the esteemed Register think that
Its readers have so soon forgotten recent
events? Our neIghbor knows as well as
any one knows that while the Dlngley
bill was under debate in Congress i'm
portations were being rushed into the
country in vast quantities In advance of
the demand in order to escape the in
creased duties On this account II was
generally understood, and was stated in
speeches in Congress favoring the bill.
and especially by Mr.. DIngley and Sena-
tor Aldrlch. that 1t was not expected that
any increase in the revenues would APP
pear until after these importatlons were
consumed; that, on the contrary, def
cheney might be expected.
All expert statlSticians who were con-
suited confirmed these statements. They
also gave 1t as their opinion that the bill.
as a revenue producer, would not begin
to have fair test until these conditions
were removed. and figured that 1t would
prove an adequate measure.
This is a fair and precise statement,
which was extensively published at the
time, and the Registers own readers are
doubtless thoroughly posted on the mat
ter. II not by the Register itself, then by
some other Democratic or Republican
paper which has had the fairness to
make honest statements concerning the
situation.
