secretary of the treasury to more firmly establish the gold standard would vaeate many seats on the republican side. The appearance of MT. Bland, of Bland dollar fame to whom MT. Bailey yielded ten min- utes. was greeted with applause.
 The course of the president and Secre- tary Gage. Mir. Bland said, in pressing the gold standard upon the country had driven the bimetallists in congress to in- troduce and insist upon the passage of this resolution, yet, said he, MT. Dingley had charged the minority with playing politics Every republican who voted against this resolution, he said, violated the St. Louis platform and voted against the coinage of silver in any form, free or limited. No one disputed the law, he said, no one denies it. Silver was a full legal tender. But every republican vote against the resolution would declare that silver was not fit to pay the public debt in. Sil- yer would then, in truth, become a sub sidiary coin.
 Going into History.
 MT. Bland created great applause on the democratic side by reading from the rec ord the votes of Messrs Hopkins, Gros- venor and other prominent republicans against the bill to pay the bonds of the United States in gold which was voted upon the last congress at the time the last administration negotiated the s260,O ,Oo0,- 900 loan.
 MT. Grosvenor on that occasion, he said, had stated on the floor that he was glad to pay 16000,0O0 for the privilege of pay ing silver in redemption of the bonds.
 MT. Hopkins, (rep.) of Illinois, said this resolution had clearly shown that the sen ate was not a republican body, but was controlled by the free silver element. By a decisive vote in the last election the people had spoken against free and un- limited coinage of silver And yet the senate, no longer representing the people, passed this resolution in defiance and mis- representation of the public will
 MT. Clayton, (dem.) of Alabama, assert ed that the defeat of this resolution was dictated by the masters of the republican party, who gathered at 0 New York ban quet table the other night at $100 a plate, which meant, at Alabama standards, that every man ate bale of cotton and a cou- pie of mules.

Special to The Age-Herald.

Montgomery, Jan. 31.-The Journal In its columns this afternoon gives the following sketch of the principals in the notable trial now on at Greenville, Ala, and the circumstances that led up to it:
 The eyes of Alabama will be turned on the proceedings of the circuit court of But Ter county this week, at which John A. Gafford will either convince jury of his peers that he was justified in the killing of Francis Bartow Lloyd. the writer, or be adJudged guilty of one of the foulest murders which has ever disgraced Ala bama. On the side of the law there is a deeper sentiment than the mere prosecu- ton of 8 criminal. Barrow Lloyd, famil- iarly known as Rufus Sanders" was be- loved by wide and influential acquaint- ance; on the side of his slayer there is the dark gulf of a misspent yfe of vio- lence to be crossed before the defense can hope to turn the popular tide of resent ment which the death of his ambushed victim caused to flood.
 In an Oak Grove
 The death of Lloyd was accomplished about o'clock on the evening of Aug. 25 last, in lovely oak grove three miles from Greenville. Lloyd had left the town in a buggy to return to his house, which was five miles out. Through some point of honor which is known only to Gafford, the latter had warned Lloyd to be armed when he should meet him. What passed between the men is known only to Gaf- ford. He claims that on meeting Lloyd he demanded an explanation of Lloyds conduct toward his (Gafford's) sister, and

Special to The Age Herald.

Washington, Jan. 31-The nominating of c. W. Buckley as postmaster at Montgom- cry has been repoTted adversely to the sen- ate by the committee on postoffices and postroads in the senate.
 The charges were of such a character and were evidently so fully sustained that the republicans On the committee joined with the democrats in making the adverse report unanimous One charge was that when a member of congress, MT. Buckley had sold a cadet appointment to Annapo- lis. Mr. Buckley admitted that he had given the appointment to a New Yorker, but denied having been paid for 1t.
 The most serious charges were against Buckleys mode of life and these were so well sustained that had there been any doubt regarding the others, these alone would have quashed his confirmation. These charges relate to Buclley's living in open adultery with colored woman and that his life in this regard was notor- ious and shameless. The case is the most nauseous which has come up before the committee in many years. There is no doubt that the senate will act promptly upon the recomme rdation of the commit tee.
 Simmons Confirmation
 The next most celebrated case from Ala bama Is that of Frank Simmons, appointed marshal in the southern district. His op- ponents, chief among whom is Represen- tatiye Stallings, think they have his con- firpation defeated. The subcommittee has practically decided to report adversely on his nomination. but as the committee had

standing OF the officers in command.
Gen. Shafter said last week that 5000
or 1000 men would be kept here at
least until October, and this was sup
posed to have been the order of Secre-
tary Alger. An officer said yesterday
that when Gen. Miles order came a
telegram was sent him saying that his
order was contrary to that of Secre-
tary Alger. Miles replied: "Never
mind what Alger says; | IN in COM

The entire attention Of the Is, 900
soldiers still at Camp Wikoff is now
directed toward the latest develop
ments In regard TO the abandonment
Of the camp here and their removal TO
the barracks occupied by them before
the commencement of the war. Gen.

away from here as soon as possible,

WEDDING RINGS
Even These Necessary Articles
Change In Season with the
varying Fashions

The most frivolous woman up TO date
is the one who followed a~ssiduously
all the fashions and fads 10 an extray-
aeant and foolish extent She SO car
ried this habit TO excess thatit extended
even TO her wedding ring. This she
changed from time tc time as the fash
ions changed, and anew width or shape
came into favor.
When It was first placed upon her
finger the ring wns q broad, heavy, oval
topped ring, with rather sharp edges.
That poor little circle has gone through
the fire enough times to change It into
a fat ring with square edges into a
perfectly round wire, into a hslf wire,
into q fiat top band with round edges,
and even 10 eliminate its identity en-
tlrely as a wedding ring, and 1t is now
no more her original wedding ring than
any other ring that she But she
still calls it her wedding ring, and her
wedding ring is always in the latest
fashion.
Whether she does this entirely for
the reason that she cannot bear TO wear
anything out of date even in jewelry,
or whether she wishes to appear q bride,
or whether she imagines that it viii
help her TO appear younger than she
really is, Is q mystery. She herself is
scandallzed at the very idea that any
u will insist upon wearing an old
fashioned wedding ring, and expresses
great disgust with any woman who al
lows herself 10 bo out Of fashion in this
matter.
Quite a discussion took place on a
