A BALAKLAvA HERO KILLED.
One of the Noble Six Hundred, Die

One of the Noble Six Hundred" Dies
 at the Hands of His Wife in Mon
 treal.
 Montreal, Sept. 19.-George Waldron, one of the two survivors of the Noble Six Hundred' on this continent, who was in the famous charge at Balak- lava, died in this city last night as the result of a blow on the head with a cane struck by his wife The only re- maining Balaklava veteran in America is John Harris, resident of Washing ton.
 Waldron was hero of many battles, and two silver medals which he wore at all times attested his bravery. One is a Turkish medal bearing the word "Crimea,' three cannons, and the fla gs of Britain, France, Sardinia, and Tur- key on one side, and on the other an inscription in Arabic characters. The other Is an English medal inscribed with the word "Crimea," and bearing the likeness of Queen Victoria. On. the ribbon to which it hung were four clasps inscribed respectively Alma" "Balaklava," 'Inkerman," and 'Sebas- topol"
 A lance wound in the groin and a rifle bullet in the ankle were all that Waldron received as souvenirs of his many fights. but what the soldiers of Nicholas l. were unable to accomplish liquor did, and his death last night was the result of the incorporate habits in to which he had fallen. For years he had been separated from his wife, the latter refusing to live on account of his drunkenness.
 He met her on the street and attempt- ed to follow her into a doorway, when she turned and struck him over the head with a cane which she carried. Waldron reeled and fell forward on the pavement, and soon afterward expired. His death is attributed to congestion of the lungs and a fracture of the skull. Mrs. Waldron spent last night in No police station, but was released this afternoon.
 Waldron, who was in his seventy third year, had for some time been a porter at the Royal Victoria hospital He received monthly pension from the Imperial government. During the Crlmean war he served with the Thir- teenth Lancers, which, with the Seven teenth Lancers and a squadron of hus- sars. formed the Light Brigade"

 Young unmarried women especially, do not like to confde their troubles ot this nature to their home doctor. They shudder at the thought of the examinations ana local applications to which they may have to submit. These are entirely unnecessary, and all letters addressed to Dr. R. V.

Dr. Pierce has been for thirty years chief consulting physician to the I1l- valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y., one of the greatest medical institutions in the world.

Two Barns Burned-Loss $1O,0O0-Three Valuable Horses Perish-Several Resi- uences Threatened

Valuable Horses Perish-Several Resi-
 denees Threatened.
 Greenwich, Sept. 19.-Fire this after noon destroyed the barns of Joseph Thompson, A, R. Whitney and Nathan iel S, Smith, on the Otter drive, Belle Haven, causing a loss of about $10,0OO; partly insured. Three valuable horses belonging to Mrs. Thompson perished in the flames, and all his carriages, harnesses, etc, were burned.
 The fire was discovered by MT. Thompson shortly after 1 o'clock, when the flames were bursting through the roof, and the fire spread so rapidly that it was impossible to save anything. The private hose company organized among the residents is the only fire department in Belle Haven, but that proved futile, and when the wind car ried the embers about half a mile to the roof of MT. Whitney's barn an alarm was sent to Greenwich, two miles distant. Before aid arrived MT. Smiths barn was likewise mass of flames All the contents or DoCn DaruS, now eVer were saved.
 During the fire several residences were threatened by embers lodging on the roofs, but they were discovered in time to check the incipent flames, though not until there was considera- ble alarm felt by many of the resi- dents.
 How the fire originated is a mystery, though it is thought that it started among a mass of loose straw. At the time MT. Thompson discovered the fire Fred Holsey, the oSachman, was at work in the barn, but his first knowl- edge of the fire was when MT. Thomp- son came rushing in and both men tried at once to rescue the horses. but they did not succeed. Joseph Langlon, MT. Smiths gardener and family occupied a tenement in the upper part of the barn, but they chanced to be away from home to-day.
 The losses are estimated as follows: MT. Thompson, s5,0OO; MT. Whitney and MT. Smith, $2, 800 each

SENATORS SQUIRE and Dubois have
been clearly given to understand that
they will not be allowed to occupy
front seats in the Populist band wagon
and that if they want to travel in the
Populist procession it must be at the
tail end. 1t must be particularly hui
initiating to Dubois, after having de-
serted the great party to which he
owes all his prominence in politics, in
the expectation of riding triumphantly
back to the senate upon the crest of the
silver wave, to be succeeded by stolid
German farmer, who talks broken
English and has never been known to
make speech. One of his competitors
was VIM. H. Ciagett, man of fine APP
pearance, an able lawyer and undoubt-
eddy one of the most brilliant orators in
the west. His election would have
been credit to the party with which
he has been allied for several years.
But he is man who easily arouses an
tagonisms and it seems that he stirred
up enough of them at Boise City to
compass his defeat. He and Senator
Dubois are both we'll known to the
publishers of The ISLANDER who
would have been glad to announce the
election of either one of them. The
father of Senator Dubois was one of the
early state auditors of Illinois and an
intimate personal friend of Abraham

In response to request for his views
upon the question of the abandonment
of the silver issue by the Populists,
Governor Rogers has written letter
to the secretary of the Populist Nation
al executive committee at Omaha, in
which he makes use Of about a thOus-
and words to say that he believes the
Populists should continue to whoop it
up for silver. In his judgment, which,
like the "heathen Chinee' is some
what peculiar, "The situation today
bears many points of resemblance to
that of $780," and he proceeds to make
a comparison between the middle-of
theroad Pops of the present day in their
relation to "the Bryan forces" and the
abOlitionists in their relation to the Re-
publican party. The points of COM
parison are so fine that it takes man
of exceptional powers of discernment,
like the governor, to comprehend them.
That the governor isn't averse to ad-
hitting that his intelligence is Of a
superior order to that of the masses of
the people is evident from his state
ment in reference to the money ques-
ton that 1.-The people at large do not
comprehend this question and its over
mastering and supreme importance"
1t can hardly be possible that the gov
ernor regrets that there are 80 many
people sat large" for as rule the ones
who ought not to be at large are en-
thusiastic supporters of the theories
which he desires to have put into prac-
tice. When the governor says that
"For silver we can all be united in
overwhelming phalanx," he is APP
parently unmindful of the fact that
not only in this state but in every state
in the Union where the Populist party
has any organization it is torn with
discussions upon this very question.
Comparatively few genuine Populists
have any faith in the "free and UNI
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
Is to 1" as the only panacea for the
financial ills of the nation and the peo-
pie. They embraced the new faith in
a half-hearted way last fall merely as
temporary expedient, but their eyes
are ever fixed upon the goal of ire
deemable paper currency as legal ten
der for all debts public and private.
But if the governor is unmindful of
this fact, he is not unmindful of the
greater fact, to him, that he could not
have been elected governor of the
State of Washington, with salary of
$4,000 per year, without the votes of
the electors who are honest believers
in the free coinage of silver as demand
ed by the Bryanite platforms adopted
at Chicago and st. Louis.

leading business men of Chicago Or
ganized to promote the cause of inter-
national bimetallism "upon the gen.
eral plan of the Latin Union, but with
a broader basis" The views OF the
committee were clearly stated in a
declaration of principles of which Mr..
Gage was one of the signers and from
which we quote the following:
"Those concerned in the movement,
while earnestly opposed to free coinage
of silver or any increased use OF silver by
this country, Independent Of international
action and agreement, pelieve that the
repeal of the purchase clause of the Sher-
man act affords a fitting and fortunate
opportunity for advancing the cause OF
international bimetallism. They believe
that the day is not far distant when the
necessities of commerce will compel the
international use of silver, as well as OF
gold, in the currencies throughout the

THE bribery Investigations at Olym-
pia have progressed to a point where
there was imminent danger of reveal
ing something discriminating if it was
allowed to proceed further, the whole
matter was dismissed. The committee
reported that the "preponderance of

Squire and that he intended to use the
cash payment of 81 900, which he asked,
to "entertain" the job lot of twenty

however, was not conclusive upon the

If it does, almost any child in school
