The actual cost Of the silver bullion IN
the treasury Of the United States was
s97. 459. 425. But the coinage value Of that
bullion is s1s9.453,425. The difference be-
tween the cost OF the bullion and It's
coinage value is what they call seiginorage
and that is what it is proposed 70 COIN
We are surprised that the silver peo-
pie have pressed this point FOR in so
doing they have shown up the silver
cause in a most unfavorable light.
They are impressing the fact that the
government has bought for 9h455'i-o
enough silver TO make 139,453.i25 silver
dollars. And even at that the govern
ment drove a very poor bargain.
The present price Of silver Is very
much less than the average price at
which the government laid in its stock
The silverites could have adopted no
better object lesson than this to show
to the people that a silver dollar Is not
intrinsicary worth its face value.

The Stock Market.

New York, Oct 20.-Considering the apathy and indifference which have re- gently been manifested on the stock exchange. the resistance made to-day to the depressing influence existing on all foreign security markets was rather remarkable. Even at the opening prices refused to yield to the parity of those established in London for Amer jeans before our opening and the rather heavy volume of offerings for London account was easily absorbed at level sufficiently higher to make very nice profit for the arbitrage brokers. After the London selling had ceased in the forenoon, the market took on a harden ing tendency and broadened to very perceptable extent Prices of the grangers and of other railroad stocks above yesterdays level, or, at the least, retrieved the earlier losses. Many recently inactive stocks were brought into the movement and there was re- sumption of the buying in small lots of some of the well secured dividend pay ing stocks. The explanation of this lay in the fact that what is Europe's poi son is to certain point our meat. Striking evidence of this was disclos- ed in the grain and provision markets, which were all excited and higher on the eager competition for our products reflected from all European markets as a result of the fears of coming hostili- ties between Great Britain and France. With wheat crop of unprecedented dimensions to move, this development was bound to have an influence on the grain carrying roads. In former times the threat of war in Europe has brought with it the dread that the large foreign holdings of American se- curities would be forced to liquidation on the New York market The indiffer- ent mood in which this possibility was viewed to-day Is a striking proof of the large reduction which has been worked in the foreign holdings of our securities as payment for last years large trade balance in our favor That trade balance and the continuing move- ment in our favor were also the ground of the indifference of the money market to the developments abroad. European government securities declined and money rates advanced in sympathy, at all European centers. Yet the only eff feet in the New York market was to harden the rates for foreign exchange fraction. As for the local money market, not ripple was caused and rates for call money actually declined to l 12 per cent. against the recent minimum of per cent. with a. range up to 1-2 per cent. The strength of this country's financial position could not be more strikingly illustrated. Su- gar found support at a moderate de- cline and Tobacco was firm all day.

structure. In point oe fact. it Is now known as Southwark Bridge, which al- though 1t crosses the Thames in the very heart of the city-being situated between Blackfriars and London brldges-is the least frecuented of all on the river, partly because of it's very bad gradients, but mainly because, coming from everywhere in general, it leads to nowhere in particular. Even its one literary association Is unknown to it's frequenters because of the change of name and some admirer of Dickens should label it in the fashion comparatively recently adopted in the churchyard of St.George the Martyr in the borough.
 The Marshalsea Prison used to stand adjacent to this churchyard, and when it was abolished it's destruction was so complete that even it's site seemed like ly to be forgotten. Now, however two large plaques have been affixed to the wall calling attention to the circumstance that the debtors prison immortalized in Little Dorrit' once stood there. It might have been added that the whole of that immediate dis trlct Is classic ground for the Dickens lover, for hard by is still to be seen an unspoiled fragment of the old coach ing inn where sam Weller first was met by MT.

quest of the Soudan, Without a single throwback the work has gone forward since-but not without intervals. The sirdar Is never in hurry. With inn movable self-control he holds back from each step until the ground is con- solidated under the last.
 The real fighting power of the Sou dan lies in the country itself-its bar renness, which refuses food, and it's vastness, which paralyzes transporta- tion. The Soudan machine obviates barrenness and vastness; the bayonet action stands still until the railway ac- tion has piled the bank with supplies, or the steamer action can run with a full Nile. Fighting men may chafe and go down with typhoid and cholera; they are In the iron grip of the machine and they must fait the turn of it's wheels. Dervishes wait and wonder, passing from apprehension to security. Then, suddenly at daybreak one morn ing they see the sirdar advancing up- on them from all sides together, and by noon they are nearly all dead. Patient and swift certain and relentless, the Soudan machine rolls conquering southward.
 In the meantime during all the years of preparation and achievement, the man has disappeared. The men, Her bert Kitchener, owed the affection of private friends in England and of old comrades of fifteen years standing; for the rest of the world there is no man Herbert Kitchener, but only the sir dar, neither asking affection nor giving it.
 His officers and men are wheels in the machine; he feeds them enough to make them efficient, and works them as mercilessly as he works himself. He will have no married officers in his ar my; marriage interferes with work. Any officer who breaks down with the climate goes on sick leave once; next time he goes and the Egyptian army bears him on it's strength no more.
 Asked once why he did not let his officers come down to Cairo during the season. he replied: If it was to go home, where they could get fit and I could get more work out of them, I would. But why should I let them go to Cairo?" It is unamiable, but it is war, and it has a severe significance.
 AHu Il you SuppuSe, tleIelOIS, thete the sirdar is unpopular he is not. No general is unpopular who always beats the enemy. When the columns move out of camp in the evening to march all night through the dark, they know not whither, and fight at dawn with an en- emy they have never seen, every man goes forth with tranquil mind. He may personally come back, and he may not; but about the general result there is not a doubt. You bet your boots the sirdar knows he wouldn't fight if he weren't going to win. Other generals have been better loved; none was ever better trusted.
 For of this one human weakness the sirdar is believed not to have purged himself-ambition He is on his pro- motion, a man who cannot afford to make a mistake. Homilies against am- bition may be left to those who have failed in their own: the sirdar's, if ap- parently purely personal, is legitimate and even lofty.--G. w. Stevenson in the London Mail

WHEN THE BUGLE CALLS.
Soldiers Who Fight Against Attacks
 of Cowardice

Soldiers Who Fight Against Attacks
 of Cowardice.
 After reading of the brilliant ex- ploits of our gallant troops at Omdur- man, one may be pardoned for doubt ing the existence of towards in the British army.
 Unfortunately, however every now and then amid the din and crash of battle a recruit is seized with a it of cowardice, which he boldly fights against. The attack is oftentimes quite inexplicable, and nearly always mo- mentary.
 The majority of men are brave by instinct especially when in the thick of a fight. There are of course, excep- tions to the rule, but generally the feeling that the soldier Is not a sep arate unit, but cog in a vast fight ing machine, tends to make even the most timorous stand shoulder to shoulder with his comrades.
 Then the fear of being thought afraid steels the nerves of many falling soldier: and there is no doubt that the dread of the contempt and indignation of his fellows is a most powerful stimulant.
 Very rarely, indeed, does British soldier allow fear to overcome his sense of duty: but some old veterans will occasionally admit that he has known perhaps one such instance; and in reply to the questions: How is it we never read of such cases?" he will answer: "One dead man is small loss %o ming off may cause another to follow him, and a panic may thus set in. Be- fore any one has time to think about it. or issue an order, depend upon it, one of his comrades, for the honor of the regiment, puts a bullet through him."
 Sir Charles Napier had an effective method of dealing with towards. On one occasion a flying soldier was stopped by his fellows, who were about to shoot him when the general inter- vened.
 Give the man another chance he ordered Place him in the front rank, and if he turns again, let him be shot"
 The man eagerly embraced this chance of life, overcame his fears, and tough bravely for the rest of the day. Bravery is sometimes largely due to mere lack of sensibility.
 There goes the bravest man in the army" said the old Kaiser Wilhelm on the battle field of Sadowa, as a pale young officer cheered his men on to the charge. He is terribly afraid of being shot, and he knows it, but he loves his d1tv and coIIntry more than his nar sonal safety, and that is what makes him lead his men on so gallantly'-- The London Daily Mail.

TT WAS WILLIAM VON HOHEN-
 ZOILERN.

An amusing story of the Emperor William and the German army man. oeuvres is related by gentleman who was in Oeynhausen at the time, and is sent from Berlin by the Daily News correspondent. Not far from Oeyn- hausen is the village of Bergklrchen. In the broad valley between the two places the whole Seventh army corps was bivouacking At the entrance to Bergkirchen, which is on high ground, is the shop of a druggist, who has on the valley side of the house veranda from which there is a good view of the surrounding country. During the Kali ser manoeuvres the druggists bel was rung early in the morning, between 5 and o'clock. The man, aroused from his rest gets up, goes to the front door and asks, What's up?" A voice an- swers from the outside, 'Please just let me go onto your veranda. The army corps is going to be alarmed, and should like to see it from there" The druggist, astonished replies that the request is unheard of at such time, and invites the visitor to betake him. self where best it may please him. His night bell is there for the use of pa-
 
 tients only, etc. The chemists wife, who had in the meanwhile also woke LID. came and had her say, too, and the Westphalians are not noted for po- liteness.
 The man standing outside, however, did not seem to mind. and repeated his request. Finally the druggist called out: "Well, who in the name of won der are you? Whats your name?" "Wilhelm.'' came promptly back. "I am no wiser than I was. Lots of peo- nle are called Wilhelm What is your other name?" ''Von Hohenzollern," the voice replied. Only now did it be- gin to dawn upon the druggist who his visitor was. He tore open the door, and before him stood the Emperor. who seemed to have greatly enjoyed the fun.

BLACK SNAKE IN A SCHOOL.
Florida Teacher Is Exposed to Deadly
Peril by q Boyish Trick.

Miss Lula jenkins was exposed to dead
" peril in her schoolroom few days ago
by the foolishness of one of her scholars
Miss Jenkins teaches school three miles
from Palma Sofa, Fla. She is much afraid
of snakes. One lad conceived the idea of
taking a snake and putting 1t In the
schoolroom to brighten her. He killed
monster black snake in the bay head near
tho schoolhouse, carried 1t to the teachers
desk and put it inside.
Miss jenkins on opening the lid saw the
shining folds of the dead serpent, which
had been arranged as naturally as life, and
she fell back in her seat screaming, "a Sec
ond later plunging toward the door. As
she started to run out she saw two reptiles
glide into the open door and advancing to-
ward her. They were both large specimens
of black racers, and both were seemingly
angry. Both Of them sprang toward Miss
jenkins, one of them wrapping its folds
around her left arm, while the other coiled
around her waist Miss Jenkins seized
the snakes and endeavored to crush the
life out of them. While her small hands
could not accomplish this, she managed to
hold them SO that they could not compress
themselves in coils about her.
For several minutes the unequal contest
ragged, Miss jenkins getting weaker, the
fetid, foul breath of the serpents making
her sick. An answering cry was heard to
her last scream, and Dottie Wells, bright
13-year old girl, came rushing into the
door. She ran to her dinner pail, and tax
ing out a heavy clasp knife she ran up to
the teacher and with rare bravery drew
the sharp blade through one serpept's body
and then the other. The squirming folds
of the serpents fell down, and Miss Jenkins
fell over in dead faint. 1t was found that
the marks of the coils of the snakes were
visible on her arms, and her hands suffered
from the exertion she had made in trying
to crush the snakes. Little Dottie Wells is
the heroine OF the school. Plain

TREED BY A MOOSE.
Minneapolis Hunters Adventure with the
Monarch OF the Woods.

Monarch OF the WOODS.
John Marshall of Minneapolis, out hunt
ing In the wilds Of Itasca county. left camp
the other day for the railroad station sew
eral miles away. Suddenly there was o
crash In the bushes near him and two
thirds grown bull moose broke cover.
Marsball's rife went 10 hts shoulder and
three big bullets were planted In the body
OF the moose. whose black name bristled
with anger and whose bellowirGs resound-
ed through the forest.
Wounded as he was the moose charged
and Marshall fled 20 small tree. AS he
began to climb the moose was at his heels,
and before the hunter was out of reach
the maddened animal was striking savage
ly at him with its antlers. AS Marshall
climbed higher and higher the animal be-
gan battering at the trunk with force
that threatened to soon bring 1t down.
All Marshall could do was TO cling on
with both hands and pray that the animal
might drop dead
Finally the animal ceased his efforts,
but laid siege to the man in the tree.
Marshall had his rifle. In his haste to get
at his cartridge pouch he broke the strap
and the pouch fell to the ground. There
was nothing to be done except wait. The
day waned and night fell, but the siege
was not raised.
During the long hours Of the night
Marshall almost froze, and several times
was on the point of sliding out OF the tree
and mixing with the moose, but at every
move he made the animal would assume
such threatening attitude that the hunt
er decided he had better freeze than be cut
to pieces.
Early In the morning the moose walked
away from the tree a short distance, and
Marshall, dropping to the ground. secured
half dozen cartridges, which he slipped
into his rifle.
The moose now made charge, but fell
| dead with bullet in his heart. Finding
| his way back to camp, Mr.. Marshall told
| his story to his companions. They at once
set out for the moose, but OH reaching the
carcass found that the wolves had so torI
| and mangled the body that it was worth
| less, and Marshall had to content himself
with bringing away the head, bearing {
