English Women Smokers.

A New York society woman who has
a long line of social connections in Eng
land said in discussing the smoking
habit among women over there, about
which so much has been printed lately:
English women whom have received
in my homeland 1 receive many-al-
most without exception smoke. It is
not giggling matter with them, as it
still is with our women, to some extent.
1t is a matter of course" And the
cigarette habit is growing fast in femi-
nine circles here. If you don't believe
it, inquire in the stores where Especial
ly made for women" articles are sold.
Smokers outfits for all sorts and condi-
tions of womankind are now ON sale,
most of the high priced ones being i'm
ported from dear old London. New

BOYCOTT BY RAILWAY MEN
Threatened on Coal Mined by Negroes in
the Pana Pits.

Pana, Ills. Sept. 15.-Sheriff Coburn
has discharged several of his deputies
who have been doing duty in the city.
He does not now anticipate trouble
within the city limits. Sheriff Coburn
says no special deputy bills will be
presented until the December meeting
of the board of supervisors. Meanwhile
Banker Henry N. Schuyler is carrying
the deputies orders. The several hun
dred employees of the Springfield division
of Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
Railroad company held a mass meet
ing.
Resolutions were unanimously passed
condemning the operators of the four
mines of Pana for bringing negroes
into the city. A movement is on foot
which the leaders say will result in
trainmen of the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern refusing to haul coal
mined by the negroes.

WHO KNOWS W. J. GUYM0RE?
Up Goes a Thousand Hands at Once at This
Question.


Every miner in the state knows
Mr.. Guymon, who has been secretary
for the United Mine Workers of the
state for five years. He is now an
honorary member of the association,
but they all know him still as a strong
and powerful member.
1t is not necessary for me to go on
and tell you what You all know so
well-but there is one thing l want to
tell you which you may not know,
but should.
1t is about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.
Mr.. Guymore has used them and has
highly praised them to us, and says
he thinks public statement would
help many a miner; i'll fact. any one
who has bad kidneys, to use them.
He wants to be of as much service
to the public as he can, so here is
what he says:
Il have been suffering more or less
for years with my kidneys. Some
times they would be very bad and 1
suffered great deal. 1 had severe
pain across my back in the region of
the kidney, which was always worse
when 1 stopped over, so bad sometimes
could hardly straighten up. You
can see that the natural result would
be a broken down system, which was
rapidly getting. My appetite failed
me, and whenever / ate / had to force
it down. L read such wonderful
things about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
that thought it would do no harm to
try them. 1 am glad did, for they
proved to be the very remedy re-
quired. Today am entirely cured of
all the backache, nervousness and ev-
erything arising from this trouble. l
consider them safe, sure, quick and
economical treatment and they effect
a permanent cure.

ARTISTIC DINNER GIVING.
The Ideal Dinner Has . Simple Menu and
q Perfect Service.

=
q Perfect Service.
The ideal dinner company is never
large. Six has been said to be the mag
ic number, but eight and even ten are
perfectly manageable, both in the mat
ter of smooth service and in the higher
harmonies. Do not confine your choice
90 intimate friends, but add to their
pleasure and your own the fresh expert
ence of meeting new spirits, whose con-
geniality you have OWNED.
A really artistic dinner, it is the
writer's conviction, should never ex-
ceed four courses, including the coffee.
The scheme of the dinner is that each
dish shall be perfect, worthy of the pal
ate and of the appetite, enjoyed to the
full for its merits, and not trified with
and instantly forgotten. The second
point in Importance is that dish shall
be as attractive in appearance as it is
perfect in flavor, that it should be
placed upon the table as an added en-
joyment and Hospitality served by host
or hostess. The third point, also of i'm
portance, is that a dinner should be sea-
sonable-not an anticipation of seasons
for every chosen article should be at
its very best a lean, half shriveled
January tomato, which has i'll borne its
travels, is but forlorn apology for the
plump and luscious summer product
certainly not fitted for an artistic
appearance.-Ella Morris Kretschmar

Spanish Premier Shuts Up the Cortes TO
Prevent A agitation.

Madrid, Sept. Is. - The government
closed the cortes yesterday because it
feared complications through the pub
licity a continuance of the session would
give to the acts of the Spanish gen.
erals. The queen regent signed the
protocol bill last evening. The govern
ment had intended the corteS to sit
until an indemnity bill for the suspen-
sion of the constitutional guarantees
had been passed, but the threatened
agitation on the part of General Weyler
and others, together with evidence of
division in both the Liberal and Con-
servative parties, convinced Sagasta of
the advisability of closing down de-
bates which would have hindered the
free progress of the peace negotiations.
The cortes will be next convoked to
ratify the final treaty of peace.
General Primo de Rivera in the SEN
tae demanded an inquiry into his ad-
ministration of the Philippine islands,
and in doing so he said the attacks of
Count Almenas were only "fit for the
mouth of a miserable slanderer." Count
Almenas was endeavoring to reply when
Senor Sagasta read the decree prorogu-
ing the cortes. Count Almenas and
General Rivera, separately. approached
the president in a hostile manner and a
duel is expected. Premier Sagasta aft
erwards read the decree in the cham
ber of deputies. 1t is expected that the
Spanish peace commissioners will be
appointed without delay.
a painful impression has been caused
here by a statement made by The Pals,
saying the United States intends to de-
mand s20.000.000 indemnity in behalf of
American citizens who have suffered
through the insurrection in Cuba.
London, Sept. 15.-The Standard says
editorially: LAS to reports that indemn-
ity will be demanded, the United States
knows that no money can be got out of
Spain, and is therefore unlikely to make
such a demand seriously. If the United
States secures Luzon ii is most prob
able that Spain will give up the remain
der of the islands as a useless en-
cumbrance."
The Madrid correspondent of The
Daily Mail says: The politicians for
the most part favor an entire renuncia-
ton of the Philippines in exchange for
economic advantages"

THE endowment of silver with all the
dignity and power OF gold would greatly
add to its demand. The effect would
be that gold would fall toward silver
and silver would rise toward gold. the
result being gradual elevation OF aver
age prices that would eventually reach
a compromise about halfway between
their present level and that from which
they fell, or an advance of about 25 per
cent. Our country's power is rising
The next great conquest of commerce
is in the Orient. The exploitation OF
China is an impossibility without the
establishment of a stable par of ex-
change between ourselves and that
country"
The principal speakers at the after
noon session were George Fred Will
Jams and Representative c. n. Fowler,
of Elizabeth. y. ]. Williams was the
first to speak. His conversion to the
silver theory he attributed to philan-
thropic reason involved in what was to
him a great question. He pictured a
gloomy Industrial and agricultural con-
dition in Europe, quoting from the re-
ports OF Secretary Dredge. of the Eng
Iish labor commission. and statements
made by Minister Meline. of France,
and others. Briefly. he said: The
English royal commission of 1898 re-
ported a decline in farm property of so
per cent. a hegira of farm laborers,
and predicted that II the general fall in
prices continued ruination would con-
front the agrarian interests. Ten Of the
fourteen members OF that commission
concluded that the only remedy is the
restoration Of the exchange between
the two metas.
In this country the boasted pros
perity of the north and east is based
upon the depression of the farms and
plantations of the west and south. The
effect Of an appreciated money. requir-
ing more products for a given sum. in
creases the burden of debt. Prices had
fallen 40 per cent. in 1895 and then have
continued to fall ever since"
He was followed by Anson Wolcott. of
Indiana, who reviewed financial legis-
lation with a purpose to show that 1t
had been destructive of the circulat ting
medium. President Thomas f. Wills.
OF the Kansas Agricultural college. dis
counted the value of academic opinions
on economic questions generally. He
said wealth dominated institutions of
learning. ard he cited the case of Pro-
fessor Andrews. OF Brown university,
to show that college professors dare not
teach views contrary to the interests
OF the rich. Then Representative Fow-
Ter occupied the platform for half an
hour with n cefense of the gold stand

possibiIIty-Remedy Proposed.
AT present the experiment of the
gold standard is in state OF incom-
pleteness. To go on with IL to the logi-
cal conclusion of the gold valuation sys-
tenn is a practical impossibility, while
it is equally out of the question for the
world 70 remain in its present monetary
condition. The par of exchange among
nations can be restored in only one of
two ways: Either by the universal
adoption OF the gold standard SO that
all nations shall use a common meas
ure OF one metal. or by the restoration
Of genuine bimetaIltsm, so that all ma
tions may possess a apornmon measure
composed of the joint sSolume of both
gold and silver. But the universal
adoption Of the gold standard is impos-
sible.
I'VE therefore reach the conclusion
that the only way to bring back par
of exchange between gold and silver
is by restoring to silver the full money
opportunities of which IL has been de-
prived by law: by again authorizing
the coinage and use OF silver as stand
