A Currency Bugaboo.
From the New York Times (Dem.

No effort at currency legislation is like
ly to be made. We believe that with ener-
getic pressure of a legitimate sort from
the administration such an effort might
be made successful. But many Republic

keep the Issue alive if possible. In 1900

which has indicted him; says he will not
obey its behest, and declares he will kick

In doing this he puts himself above the

the people OF Illinois will stand remains
TO be seen. They have not begun to take

The Pittsburg Dispatch says the election

Beaver were the very last to be received
and that they delayed the official count
longer than the returns of the soldier vote
at Manila. Possibly the folks in Beaver
were waning to see how many more votes
were needed by the Quay machine.

AT all events, the question TO be settled

quest, that it has so justly condemned in

Two CouIdocIs stories.

So dear old Couldock is dead! The
sweetest, kindliest soul that ever trod the
stage But he had his little temper, too
says a writer in the Chicago Times-Her-
aid and when his outbursis did come at
rare intervals all the other tantrums of
the company were as bleatinss of a lamb
beside a lions roar, He never could en-
dure the ''cocksure" young person, and
the vanglorious actor who couldn't act
drove him into a frenzy There was one
Of this ilk rehearsing with him in a stock
company, a callow chap who ruined sew
eral Of Couldock's best scenes, and whose
existence the veteran did not deign 10
notice until the youth insisted upon ask
ing his opinions about the performance.
Then Couldock looked interested and ask
ed the fellow how long he had been on
the stage.
"Oh, just this season"
Good salary. 1 presumed"
Not yet; only a wretched twenty a
week"
Hum; can you save anything out of
that?"
mo, sir; you see, we actors must dress
well or we can't move in society"
That's too bad Every actor ought to
save something, and you in particular
should lay by a.little regularly every week
and let it accumulate and draw interest
as quickly as possible. Then, when you
have got enough-go buy an ak and chop
your blooming head Off"
Many years ago when the late Mr.. Coul-
dock belonged to q Cleveland stock COM
pany, the organization went down to Ak
ron to perform for one consecutive night
says the Pittsburg Dispatch
Shortly before it was time for the cur
tain to rise the leading lady went to the
manager and tearfully informed him that
she had been insulted by Mr.. Couldock.
Moreover, she declared that she would
never go on the stage with the old man
again.
The manager wanted to know how Coul-
dock had insulted her, but she sobbed
that what he had said was too horrible
for her to repeat.
Then the veteran was sent for, and when
confronted by the leading lady he was
asked to explain what he had said or done
to hurt her feelings.
We'll" he growled, Il suppose I was
rather rough 1 told her hades was full
of such leading ladies as she is. but I
take it back. The place isn't quite full.
There's still room for her."
His apology was not, of course, all that
the leading lady could have asked for,
but it was Couldocks way. So they for
gave him. and the performance went on.

1t Is stated that the life preservers on
board the Portland, the passenger steamer
recently lost off Cape Cod with all on
board, were not filed with cork, but with
tule reeds, which absorb water rapidly
and sink to the bottom when they become
saturated. Under the circumstances, those
unfortunates who put on the belts at the
time of the disaster found them to be real
ly life destroyers instead of life preservers.
Some of the bodies which washed ashore
had the belts on A reporter took one off
and tested It, It weighed some sixteen
pounds, and when it was put into the
water it sank almost as rapidly as if it
had been made of lead. 1t is said that the
life preservers of the Portland had been
inspected, and that the reed filled belts
came within the range of the law In that
case there must have been criminal care
lessness somewhere.

No jealous rival will dare to criticise the
new sealslxin jacket OF Ellen Henly, SOU
brette, of New York. It is a good jacket,
of fine material, is worth the price she
paid for it, and is a perfect fit. All of
these points have been passed upon by
court of law. and the affirmation of the
court is written in the archives of the
Borough of Manhattan. The way of it
was this: Ellen had ordered a sealskin
coat of a certain merchant. When it was
delivered Ellen refused to pay for it. She
claimed that it was no good, that the
material was inferior. the price too high
and, the fit Simply horrible" The dealer
sued her. The Jacket went into the court
room as an exhibit. The court handed
and examined II, and told Ellen to put it
on. She did so. The court pronounced the
fit perfect; like der baber on der VAIL
or something to that effect, and told Ellen
that the law would require her to fulfill
her part of the contract. Now If any Of
IGlen's dear and bosom friends should re-
peat about her jacket the things which
she herself said about 1t, she could have
them arrested for contempt of court.

In the Forum for November appears an
article on the New Panama Canal. writ
ten by Brig Gen. H. /. Abbott, in which
a careful comparison is made between the
Panama and Nicaragua canal routes. Gen.
Abbott demons rates in his paper that the
efforts Of the United States should be de-
voted to the completion of the Panama
canal
Gen. Abbott is a member of the Comite
Technique. and was invited to assist the
new Panama Canal Company in directing
its Investigations and forming its conelu-
sons, and therefore had exceptional ad-
vantages for studying the subject The
Comite Technique is international In its
membership, including French, English,
German. Russian and American engineers,
among them being the chief engineers Of
the Manchester and Kiel ship canals The
article of Gen. Abbott. therefore, may be
regarded as rejecting the opinion of this
distinguished body of engineers. And in
consequence its deductions and conclusions
are well worth the careful consideration
of the American people.
During the war with Spain, when the
battleship Oregon was steaming from the
Pacific at top speed to join the Atlantic
fleet the wealth of the nation would have
been poured out like water If it had been
possible to make short cut for the ship
across the isthmus. The incident of the
Oregons trip has been made much of by
the advocates Of the Nicaraot1a canal
scheme. and will doubtless be heard from
again, with more or less effectiveness, dur
ing the forthcoming session of Congress.
The present facts, however. are, that the
Oregon has accomplished her mission, and
that it is wisdom TO examine into the ply
steal conditions in connection with the two
proposed routes-which is the better and
the cheaper.
Gen. Abbotts article seems to show very
clearly that the Panama route is not only
a more practicable route than that across
Nicaragua but that 1t is only a question
of time when it will be built. 1t shows
that the Chagres river is no longer an ele-
ment of danger to the proposed canal, but
is rather a useful friend whose assistance
will be of great value to the canal in its
operation The serious caving-in of earth
at certain places along the route, which
was one of the great causes of the failure
of the old Panama Canal Company, can
be readily overcome; in fact the land-shdes
had about ceased when the old work was
abandoned. The bug-bear of a sliding
mountain divide, Gen. Abbott says, has
been shown to be imaginary. He further
says that the objections to the construc-
ton of the canal on account of the inju-
rious effects of the climate upon the health
of the operatives have been very much ex-
aggerated. The negroes Of the British West
Indies. and even Europeans or Americans,
can work on the canal with comparative
safety by observing the proper hygienic
precautions.
Gen. Abbott gives in parallel columns the
advantages and disadvantages Of the two
canal routes, including probable cost, and
facilities for navigation if both were com
pleted and open to shipping. His compari-
son. touching the latter point, makes the

news that the California & Eastern
railroad, from Marvel to Deep Water

Carson Appeal: Yesterday Hy Downs
was over to Washoe lake to see what
the storm had done, when he saw some
geese standing in a row up on the side
of the mountain. He craWled up until
he got a snap shot and gave them both
barrels. The geese never budged He
went up and found that they were all
froZe fast in a cake of ice, and had
been blown up on the hillside by the
blizzard. Their feet were frozen fast
to the ice. 1t is supposed that the birds
were feeding on the ice where the water
was about a quarter of an inch deep.
and the sudden fall of temperature
coming on so quickly they were nipped

drawback to the story of Mr.. Downs is
his failure to leave a bird at the Appeal
