MONEY QUESTION IN COURT.
A Detroit Lawyer Answers Suit to Com.
pei Him to Take Silver.

A Detroit Lawyer Answers Suit to Com
pei Him to Take Silver,
DETROIT, Feb. FIRED A. Baker,
prominent attorney of Detroit, has filed
an answer to a suit brought against
him in the Oakland county circuit court
involving the constitutionality of the
Bland Allison act and other laws per-
tanning to silver as legal tender
Stephen Baldwin bought farm upon
which Mr.. Baker held mortgage that
became due to the amount of 1864, in
Guiding interest Mr. Baldwin ten
dered Mr.. Baker 1854 silver dollars and
asked for the cancellation of the mort
gage Mr. Baker refused to surrender
the mortgage for the 1854 silver dollars,
but agreed to cancel it if he received
enough silver dollars to equal, at the
present bullion value of silver, 1854 gold
dollars. This condition was declined
by Mr.. Baldwin, and he filed suit in
equity asking for decree commanding
Mr.. Baker to cancel the mortgage in
view of the tender made.
In the answer, Mr. Baker submits
that under the power "to coin money,
regulate the value thereof and of foreign
coins, and fix the standard of weights
and measure" the congress of the
United States has no more authority or
power, as far as pre-existing contracts
for the payment of money are con-
cerned, to diminish or increase the num-
Ger of grains Of pure gold or pure silver
in the dollar in which a contract has
been lawfully expressed, than it has as
to pre-eXisting contracts to change the
number of grains in an ounce, or the
number of ounces in pound, or the
number If inches III foot, or feet in
yard OF to change any other standard
Of Weights or measures.

'THE recital of Miss Winifred
Gray was one of the most delight
full and entertaining ever given in
this city. Miss Gray is Rockford
girl, and graduate of the School of
Oratory, Northwestern University.
A host of friends taxing to the ut
most the seating capacity of the
church, greeted the fair young read
er. She has often been heard
here in single numbers, but her re-
recital work last evening added
greatly to her reputation as clever
and entertaining reader. 1t would
be difficult to say in which line of
reading she excelled. A beautiful,
winsome face, and graceful yet sim
pie manner, make her well nigh ire
sistible in selections of sentimen-
tai nature. She handles equally we'll
passages of pathos or narration.
The Soldier OF the Empire" by
Thomas Nelson Page, was perhaps
the gem of the evening, and THE
Story of Short Life by Julia Ew-
ing, lost nothing of the charm and
pathos given it by the author, as it
was retold by Miss Gray last even
ing. Miss Gray is particularly
pleasing in the rendition of selections
of a Juvenile character, throwing
into them naturalness which it is
hard to realize was studied. James
Whitcomb Riley's "When the World
busts Through was of this order,
as was "Mammy's LII Boy" in
which the reader made the hit of
the evening by her clever pantomime
ola colored nanny as she plays with
her ''li'l boy" and finally croons him
to sleep. Rockford may well be
proud of Miss Gray She is bound
to win fame in her chosen field. y
Rockford (W) Republic Miss
Gray will read Saturday evening,
Feb. Doth, at Commencement Hall.

The remorse of q guilty stomach is what
very large majority of the people of this
nation are suffering with to-day. It is q
well known fact that dyspepsia is charac-
teristlc American disease and it is frequently
stated that !" we are nation of d yspeptics.'
1t is distressing ailment and because OF
It's many forms is difficult to treat. Some
times 1t is the result of improper modes
OF eating, improper food or mental worry
and exhaustion; then again it may be sort Of
q depressed condition Of the body and treat
ment should be directed to the restoration of
the health, without special attention to tile
stomach. In other instances, the disease is
evidently the result of Inflammation of the
stomach.
Anyone Of these conditions produce lack
Of vitality in the system, BY causing the
blood to lose its ife-sustaining elements. The
blood is the vital element in our lives and
should be carefully nurtured. Restore the
blood to its proper condition, dyspepsia will
vanish and perfect health follow.
