Some of the manufacturers of glu-
cose in Chicago have turned their at
tention to the production of corn oil
an article extracted by pressure
from the germ of the grain by
method similar to that used in the
manufacture of linseed oil, leaving
residuum not unlike in its character
the oil cake of commerce. 1t seems
that in the production of glucose it
was matter of necessity first to ex-
tract the germ, this, for long time,
involving waste. AS against this,
company now turns out some $50 bar
rels of corn oil per day. Most of the
oil goes to England for soapmaking.
1t is shipped in secondhand oil barrels,
each of weight, when filed, of 400
pounds, rated at the factory at three
cents per pound. Some of the oil is
used in this country principally in mix
ing cheap paint and for adulterating
linseed oil. 1t is regarded as rapid

REFUSE SILVER DOLLARS.
Santiago shopkeepers Would Accept
Them Only ut Their Bull
lion Value.

Some of the government officials at
Washington are displeased at the con-
duct of some Santiago shopkeepers
who refuse to accept American silver
dollars when rendered them by the
soldiers for more than their bullion
value, which is now about As cents.
Possibly those shopkeepers are not de-
serving of censure. They may be
rather ignorant men who have handled
no American silver dollars, but have
handled a good many Mexican dollars,
which they know are worth less than
half their face in gold. OF late the
Cuban-Spanish silver money has been
below par and the Santiago shopkeep-
ers may have distrust of a!l silver.
They will get over that distrust,
however, as far as American silver is
concerned, when they learn that it Is
worth its face and that il is always
good at its face value in the payment
of debts due to American merchants,
from whom they buy goods. 1t will
not be necessary for the military au-
thorities to compel the shopkeepers
to take silver dollars at their face
value. 1t will be sufficient to explain
the difference between the American
and Mexican silver dollars-that the
former are kept at gold par and the
latter are not. Mexican merchants
have long known the difference. Then
the soldiers will get 100 cents worth of
goods in exchange for their silver
coins.
It is a pity that Orator Bryan is not
at Santiago. If he were, since he pro-
| fesses to be an expert in silver, Gen.
Shaftcr might detail him to expound
to the petty dealers in Santiago the SUI
perior merits of the American silver
dollar. This would not be an agree
able duty, for Bryan has been laboring
hard for some time to break down the
silver dollar of the United States, so
that it would buy no more than the
Mexican dollar. Bryan has great
affection for the latter coin, in spite
of or because of its defects, but If his

run down the Mexican dollar and
praise the American one, of course he
would have to do 1t, and to explain to
the shopkeepers that the American
dollar was the better of the two by
more than 100 per cent. because it was
not free coinage dollar.
| 1t is a pity also that those deluded
free silverites who are in Bryan's regi.
ment or in some of the southern regi.
ments are not at Santiago to see how
the first impulse of tradesmen is tc
assign to silver its bullion value. They
know they are safe from loss If they
take silver money on that basis. They
accept American gold without demur
They know $40 piece is sure to b,
worth it's face. They have a whole
some distrust of silver. In order t.
find how much II is worth they put i
on the scales. The scurvy treatmen
of American silver dollars by the San
tiago shopkeepers is due to their ig
norance, but if this country were t.
adopt free coinage it's silver dollars
would have no greater purchasing
power abroad or at home than is &C

Queer Church Music.

No doubt great many good people
are shocked at the idea; nevertheless
IT is fact that there is often very lit
tie difference between sacred music and
the kind which has been associated
with everything else than sacred
themes, Col. Hays. of Louisville,
KY, a noted composer, tells of an in
cident which illustrates this: On a
very swell occasion he was presiding at
the great pipe organ in one of the
toniest churches of the Falls City. And
he is an accomplished master of that
mighty instrument. 81 had been re-
quested," said he, ito give something
striking in the way of voluntary. 1t
was an august occasion, but the music
of the Alabama Coon was running
riot in my head and fingers, and, with
the disguise of variations, played
that. 1t was heavy hit. The sensa-
ton, even In that great church, was
palpable, and some of the head ones
came to me after the ceremonies were
over and praised me in the most salts
factory manner for my glorious new
hymn Now, howis that for art? But
let me tell you, young man, that Ala
bama Coon is one of the greatest
pieces of music of the age"

TRIUMPH OF TIE PRESIDENT.
He Has Done His work So Wen That
the Country Commands World
Wide Respect.

There is marked change in public
opinion in Europe regarding the United
States, which may be attributed prima-
rily to the craftsmanship of William
Mckinley, next TO the exploits of Adj
mirals Dewey, Sampson, Commodore
Schley and Maj. Gen. William Il. Shaft
er, and thirdly to the fact that any
untoward movement made by CONT
mental powers against the United States
possibly would effect an Anglo-Amer-
lean union which might set all Europe
aflame in war.
The tone of the German press, which
has been markedly unfriendly since the
beginning of the present war, begins to
change, and German professions of
friendship are pouring in hot upon the
incident in Subic bay, where Admiral
Dewey plainly showed that there can
be no further trifing with his orders by
Germany or anyone else. When he
broughtthe cruiser Irene to with shell
across her bows, it might have been
thought that Germany would have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction; but that affair
apparently has attracted no attention
in Germany. At any rate, nothing is
said publicly about it. Possibly the in
| timation conveyed to the German adj
miral by the captain of the British
cruiser in Manila bay, that he had an
understanding with Admiral Dewey as
to what would be done if German war
vessels ventured to interfere with
Dewey, has also assisted in clarifying
the case and has helped to convince
Germany that she always has been q
| friend of the United States.
The change in tone that is noticed Is
highly gratifying. No matter to wha.
it is due, it is pleasing to the people Of
the United States, who are not seeking
trouble, though they are able, as the
world knows to-day. to protect theil
interests when they have engaged in {
quarrel.
1t seems to be clear, then, that we
are not to have trouble with Germany
over the settlement of the Philippine
question. What that will be can only
be conjectured; but that the settlement
will be wise, as becomes the statesman

ministration from the very day that thu

of Stockton, Kan, took his best girl to
picnic. There she accepted so many
attentions from another young man
that the first young man became en-
ragged and went home, leaving the girl
to get back to her own house as best
she might. She hired hack, for
which her father paid rs cents, and
then the old man sent the bill to the
sulky young sutton. He refused to
pay, and the old man sued him in a

taken the girl to the picnic, it became
his duty to see her safely home at his
own expense. Both sides have hired
lawyers, and the case will be fought
