Silverite newspapers, like the Detroit
Evening News and the Tribune and
others, have as their latest scheme 20 in
jure Senator Burrows, the silly claim
that he is not in favor with President
Mckinley and the administration
though they concede that he has been
quite favorite mp to recent time. This
will deceive nobody. Senator Burrows
has today the confidence and esteem of
the president as fully as ever he had it.
The Republicans of Michigan do
not seem to be stampeded from Mr.. Bur
rows by such transparent shams as this
claim of loss of Mr.. McKinley's APP
proval. They go right on, county after

The Palladium asked the Democratic

and he did not answer it. We have
asked it before, through these column $
and on the stump, from 1916 to 1898, and
no free silver man can answer it. 1t is
this Suppose you have more money,
how is any man TO get ii? How is it TO
get into circulation? If we have 50 900,
600 piled up in one bank in this city

wants it and can give reasonable good
security for it, how in the name of COM
mon sense are you going to benefit bust
ness or the people by putting $4,000, 900
more on top of it? If any man has goods,
labor or collateral, he can get it; if there
were millions instead of hundreds OF
thousands i'll the bank, the situation
would be unchanged. -Benton Harboi

The Gratiot Journal and the st. Louis
Independent are severely critizing the
management of the war; at the same time
they claim a share of the credit for the
results Of the war. They resent the idea
that it was a republican war, and say
they had just as much to do with it as
the republicans. After making such
claims it seems little inconsistent to be
talking so much about the blunders.

An English wedding Celebration

a Liverpool medical man was called
in to attend a patient seized with cholera
cramps as the result of excessive drink
ing, and found together about dozen
persons, mostly young women, in a
room with full glasses before them, a
three-gallon jar of strong ale on the
table. and several bottles of whisky,
which from time to time were replem-
ished. This remarkable session was
kept up for five days. 1t was in cele-
bration of Il wedding, and all had saved
up for weeks in anticipation of the
event. The father pawned his watch
and most of his furniture; one young
fellow pawned his coat, hat and watch.
The whole party. 20 or 30 in number,
slept together on the floors, or any
where-the house being small three
roomed cottage in one of the streets OF
Tox Teth park. When the five days
revel was ended they all proceeded to
the house of Father Nugent and signed
the pledge."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

PART III.
CHAPTER XTu.-CoNTINUED.

The captain was too bright to be in
The way. He whipped out of sight in a
moment, leaving Silver to arrange the
party; and fancy it was as we'll he did
so. Had he been on deck, he could no
longer so much as have pretended not
to understand the situa ton. 1t was as
plain as day. Silver was the captain,
and mighty rebellious crew he had of
it. The honest hands--and l was soon
to see it proved that there were such
on board-must have been very stupid
fellows. Or, rather, suppose the truth
was this: that all hands were disaffect-
ed by the example of the ringleaders-
only some more, some less; and few
being good fellows in the main, could
neither be led nor driven any further.
Tt is one thing to be idle and skulk, and
quite another to take a ship and muir
der a number of innocent men.
At last, however. the party was made
up. Six fellows were to stay on board,
and the remaining 13, including Silver,
began to embark.
Then it was that there came into my
head the first of the mad notions that
contributed. so much to save our lives.
If six men were left by Silver, it was
plain our party could not take and fight
the ship; and since only six were left,
it was equally plain that the cabin par
ty had no present need of my assist
ance. It occurred to me at once to go
ashore. In a jiffy had slipped over the
side, and curled up in the fore-sheets
of the nearest boat, and almost at the
same hGment she showed off.
No t1FF took notice of me, only the
bow Ca > saying: els that you, jim?
Kefsp your head down." But Silver.
,foul the other boat, looked sharply
and called out to know if that
ere me; and from that moment I be-
gan to regret what had done.
The crews raced for the beach; but
the boat 1 was in, having some start,
and being at once the lighter and the
better manned, shot far ahead of her
consort, and the bow had struck among
the shore-side trees, and had caught
branch and swung myself out, and

shining mercilessly on the steaming
marsh and the tall pinnacle of the noun
tain, and l could scarce persuade my
self that murder had actually been
done, and a human life cruelty cut
short a moment since before my eyes.
But now John put his hand into his
pocket, brought out whistle, and blew
upon it several mOdulated blasts, that
rang far across the heated air. 1 could
not tell, of course. the meaning of the
signal, but it instantly awoke my fears.
More men would be coming. L might
be discovered. They had already slain
two of the honest people; after Tom
and Alan, might not L come next?
Instantly Ibegan to extricate myself
and crawl back again, with what speed
and silence / could manage, to the more
could hear halls coming and going be-
tween the old buccaneer and his COM
rades, and this sound of danger lent me
wings. AS soon as ] was clear of the
thicket I ran as l never ran before,
scarce minding the direction of my
flight, so long as it led me from the MUIR
derers; and as 1 ran, fear grew and
grew upon me, until it TUNED into
kind of frenzy.
Indeed, could anyone be more entire
ly lost than I? When the gun fired.
how should dare go down to the boats
among those fiends, still smoking from
their crime? Would not the first of
them who saw me wiring my neck like
a snipe's? Would not my absence itself
be an evidence to them of my alarm,
and therefore of my fatal knowledge?
1t was all over, 1 thought. Good-by
to the Hispaniola; good-by to the
squire, the doctor and the captain. There
was nothing left for me but death by
starvation or death by the hands of the
mutineers.
All this while, as 1 say, I was still
running, and, without taking any no.
tice, had drawn near to the foot of the
little hill with the two peaks, and had
got into part of the island where the
wild oaks grew more widely apart, and
| seemed more like forest trees in their
bearings and dimensions. Mingled
with these were a few scattered pines,
some so, some nearly 20 feet high. The
air, too, smelled more freshly than
| down beside the marsh.
And here fresh alarm brought me to
standstill with a humping heart.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1898-05-31

through the air. 1t struck poor Tom,
point foremost, and with stunning
violence, right between the shoulders
in the middle of bis back. NHis hands
flew up, he gave sort of gasp, and
fell.
Whether he was injured much or
little none could ever tell. Like enough,
to Judge from the sound, his back was
broken on the spot, but he had no time
given him to recover. Silver, agile as
a monkey, even without leg or crutch,
was on the top of him the next moment,
and had twice buried his knife up to the
bilt in that defenseless body. From my
place of ambush l could hear him pant
loudly as he struck the blows.
I do not know what it rightly is to
faint, but l do know that for the next
little while the whole world swan
away from before me in a whirling
mist; Silver and the birds and the tall
Spy-glass hilltop, going round and
round and topsy turvy before my eyes,
and all manner of bells ringing and dis
tant voices shouting in my ears.
When l came again to myself, the
monster had pulled himself together,
his crutch under his arm, his hat upon
his head. Just before him Tom lay
motionless upon the sward; but the
murderer minded him not a whit,
cleansing his blood-stained knife the
while upon a whisp of grass. Every
thing else was unchanged, the sun still

The most curious among famous
pe;&,sy is that which three cen
turtles ago the French traveller Ira
vernier sold to the shah of Persia for

ern potentates owns pearl of 1914
carats, which is quite transparent. 1t
is to be had for the sum of 100000.
Princess YoussOupoff has an oriental
pearl which is unique for the beauty
of its color. In 1920 this pearl was sold
by Georgibus of Calais to Philip ". of
Spain at the price OF $4,000 ducats. To-
day it is valued at $225.OOO. Pope Leo
Kill, again owns a pearl left to him
by his predecessor on the throne Of
ST. Peter which is worth 100000, and
the chain of 80 pearls owned by En-
press Frederick is estimated at $175000.
One million dollars is the price of five
chains of pearls forming a collar owned
by Baroness Gustave de Rothschild, and
that of Baroness Adolphe de Rothschild
is almost as valuable. But these ladies

and their jewelers. have instructions to
