NOZZLE COURAGR


A few days age a steamship, the
"MOhegan," foundered on the rocks
Of the Name coast. There was a
large humber Of passengers, including
women and children.
The officers and crew were American
sailers. They quietly lowered the life
boats, selected four sailors for each
boat, then filled the boats with passen-
gers. There was no scramble among
officers and crew for places in the life
boats. Captain Grifiths, commander,
went To the bottom with his vessel,
while the life boats, full Of passengers,
we're being rcwed to safety. Most of
his crew went down with him.
A few weeks ago the fine steamer
BourgOgne was run into by an English
ship, and sunk off the coast Of New
foundlsnd. The captain and crew
were French. The crew filled the life
bosts, and lie, the passengers, including
women and children, perish in the sea.
Passengers who swan 10 the life boats
expecting 10 be rescued, were stunned
by cruel blows with boat.hooks, oars,
knives or other convenient weapons,
aHd left 10 drown.
Here IS shown the difference between
American and other sailors. This act
OF true courage is worthy Of an imper-
ishsble monument. The acton OF the
sailors On the Bourgogne will be a
lasting blot upon the character Of
French sailors.

MANS Strongest Are

In common with all organs of the
body, the muscles have their stages
of development and decline. Tests
made by the dynamometer (strength
measurer) give averages in the Cau-
cas!an race as follows; The "lifting
power" Of a youth Of II years Is 2sO
pounds; in his twentieth year this In
creases to 800 pounds, and in the thir-
tieth and thirty-Arst years II reaches
Its height, aS6 pounds. At the end Of
the thirty-6rst year the strength be-
gins TO decline, very slowly at first.
BY the fourth year It has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con.
tinues at a slightly increasing rate
until the Mtieth year Is reached, when
the figure is 800 pounds. After this
period the strength fails more and
more rapidly until the weakness Of
old age is reached. II Is not possible
to give statistics Of the decline OF
strength after the flftieth year, as II
varies to a large extent in different
lndiyiduals.-Chicago Chronicle.

The dispatches Of Tuesday state that
a little coterie Of politicians got
together 10 New York and formulated
a plan Of campaign for the democratic

free silver question, and attack trusts
and combines. The IETELuoEScER
has always attacked and fought trusts
aud combines, and expects to continue
the fight; but we will not drop the
silver question. II is the most import
ant question before the American
people today. The west and south

Of silver at the old ratio, and will not
be satisfied I'LL they gel u. The demo.

Violation Of the Law by the Treasury
Department.


Washington, ID. c., Oct. 20.-rhe
treasury department has been csnght
red-hAndea II political deal which
aims to set aside a statutory enactment
passed by congress. To save tho ex-
press company Of which Senator ThOs.
C. PlAtt, Of New York, Ia president
from a possible loss, or At least a
lengthy delay in collecting bill Of
$40, 900, a law, plain 10 its language,
has been disregarded.
when congress passed the bill
authorizing the president to issue
s40O, ,ooo, 900 10 bonds to meet the war
expenses, . clause provided that one
tenth Of per cent Of the issue should
se available to meet the expenses Of
the same. Only $500, 900, 900 Of the
amount authorised was issued, and
there Is no pretense that the remainder
will ever be issued, because the surplus
now In the treasury Is beginning to
worry the administration. Under the
law, the secretary Of the treasury was
authorized to spend only 100000 In
getting out the issue Of $500, 900, 900.
The fact became known today, how
ever, that Secretary Gage has spent
$3.50, 900, which is Just $4,000 more
than the law gives authority for.
SHAKING OF THE PLUM TREE.
When the work Of issuing the $780,
O0O,O was commenced, the secretary
of the treasury employed about 600
extra clerks. They were for the most
part young men and women, sons and
daughters Of politicians, and Of men
already 10 office. They were entirely
without experience, but were put on
the pay roll at 800 month each.
The bond issue corps was made to
serve as a temporary plum pudding
for republican politicians and until the
bills were footed up there was liberal
"shaking OF the plum tree"
About ten days ago the local rep
rssentative Of the express company Of
which Senator Platt Is president, neti-
fed the responsible head Of the proper
treasury bureau that his company had
a bill for $4,000 which must be
included IN the expense Of the bond
issue and he wanted 10 be notified
before legal limits were passed.
aRTs rHERE JUST THE SAME.
When informed be was already too
late aud that then more than 5000, 900
had been expended exclusive Of his
little bill, there was lively scene.
To placate Senator Platt's express
company, ruling was secured from
the comptroller Of the treasury, which
stripped Of lis verbiage, was to the
effect that, while s250,0Oo had been
expended in issuing the $500, 900, 900
40 excess Of $4,000 Of the limi, fixed
by law, it could be paid, because the
remaining $500, O,OOo. 900, II ever issued,
might no, cost $3.50, 900.
So Senator Platrs express company
will be paid, and congress will have To
wink at this violation Of the law II
passed last spring.
