GOWNS WHICH COST $4,000.
Magnificent Apparel Ordered BY LADY
Curzon to Take With Her to India

The gowns that Lady Curzon of Ked-
lestoO has ordered In Paris to take OUT
| to India with b have been topic Of
serious discussion in England and
France, and have divided honors with
the Nile question. Such an order was
never placed with the great dressmak-
ers before; not even by any of the
grand ladies of Russia, who are noted
| for their semi-barbaric splendor of
raiment. The bills for these superh
creations will amount to $4,000, some
of the gowns costing $4,000 each
There are forty dresses and carriage
cloaks, capes, hats and laces, but this
bill does not include the lingerie nor
the jewels that are being purchased.
Such splendor has never been shown
to the Indian court. and never has
such a beautiful woman gone out AZ
Vicereine.
Mary Letter was always ambitious
70 the last degree, her whole life being
set upon reaching something utterly
beyond her other countrywomen. But
1t Is doubtful If in her widest fanciee
she ever dreamed of SO exalted posi-
ton as she has now reached If it has
come as surprise she Is certainly 60
ing to make the most of 1t, and she
will commence an era of magnifcence
in Calcutta that will probably always
have to be upheld. She will be a
queen to her fiuger tips, stickler for
the most rigid etiquette, and will de-
mand all that her position allows her
and little more.-Town Topics.

GTammany's GOODNESS toward Bryan
indicates that the mayoralty victory
has made the organization eager to rake
off a presidential one.-Detroit Free

UThe Ohio democrat is now a syno-
nym for treachery, but the Ohio re-

tered.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
DEvery little while somebody an
nounces that he is going to lick Mark
Hanna. But the funerals that follow
these declarations never happen to be

Ex-senator Hanna has now more
friends in the state and the country than
he ever had before, and the members of
the combine are to-day held in the
greatest contempt throughout the coun-
| try.-Toledo Commercial.

Bryan is not large enough to lead"
Bryan has been losing time while can
wasting Mexico.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
DWhy does not some one obtain
from Billy Bryan an interview in regard
TO the dropping of his name by the New
York journal? He has talked on every
conceivable subject, now let us have a
talk on the subject from him.-Iowa
State Register.
GIf Mr.. Bryan will remain in this
country for few years he will be able
to see or hear something which will
change his views with regard to silver,
unless they are more stable than his
political views have been heretofore
Milwaukee Sentinel.
DThe republican party, through an
honest majority in the legislature, has
at last forcibly taught the lesson that
the partyis greater than any man with
in it and is not to be destroyed; ii has
made it plain that the pledge of the
party cannot be broken and that the
will Of the people cannot be frustrated
to crafty the personal spite of one or
n dozen men.-Columbus (O.) Dispatch.
Ex-senator Hanna's reelection goes far
beyond the range of personal success.
1t is triumph of regularity in party or
ganization, the influence of which will
leave n powerful impression upon ma
tional politics. 1t is result that will
reawakcn party enthusiasm among re-
publicans from Maine TO California. II
Is a clean-handed victory for honest
politics.-Louisvillc Commercial.

WHAT TRUE slMETALLIsM is.
Defined by Men of sound Money
Sense.

Sense.
Ex-senator Edmunds told the COM
mittee on banking and currency few
days ago what he and other sound
money men mean when they speak OF
bimetallism.
lie stated that the monetary commits
sion, of which he is the chairman, felt
that gold was the best standard that
could be adopted, but the adoption OF
that standard
ibid not exclude the idea OF bimetallism.
for II did not exclude the use OF silver or
any other metal to the largest extent that
they could be maintained on an equality
with the one fixed and invariable standard
OF gold"
This is an accurate description of the
international bimetallism" which the
national republican platform of 1896
pledged That party to promote--a "bi-
metallism" which is not Inconsistent
with the maintenance of sail our money,
whether coin or paper, at the present
(gold) standard. the standard of the
most enlightened nations of the earth"
1t Is true that that was not the obi
metallsm" Senator Wolcott and his col
leagues asked for. They spoiled what
ever chances of success they had when
they went abroad last year by talking
sixteen to one" to men who compre-
bend fully the impossibility of that ra-
ito. 1t was an insult to the intelligence
of the statesmen and business men of
Europe to speak to them Of an increased
use of silver on those terms.
What foreign nations may be willing
10 do for silver when used on the basis
IF its commercial ratio nobody knows,
for nobody has ever asked them. SEN
ator Wolcott should have put the ques-
ton, but he did not. If he goes abroad
again he should not be as forgetful as
he was the first time.
Genuine bimetallism. as defined by
Ex-senator Edmunds. differs from the
sham "bimetallism" of Bryan in that
the former contemplates the largest
possible use of silver consistent with
maintenance of the worlds gold stand
ard OF money, and the latter contcm-
plates the abandonment of the gold
standard and the exclusive use Of silver
as hard money
The United States has the gold stand
ard. 1t has in use $500,O0O,OO0 Of silver,
which is maintained on an equsiity with
gold. though worth commercially only
40 per cent. of its face value. Thus this
country uses both gold and silver. But
Bryan's free coinage scheme would
drive all the gold out Of circulation,
would reduce the purchasing power Of
the silver in use GO per cent. and make
this monometallic silver standard
country instead of gold standard BIZ
metallic country.-Chicago Tribune.

An Instance of Nature ComingIto> the
Assistance of the Law. ~

Speaking of caves remarked the
drummer whose territory extends from
New York 10 everywhere, Il suppose
you don't know of that down yonder in
the cave section of southwestern Ken
lucky it isn't unusual for the towns
which are built over caves TO use them
as sewers, and there's many kitchen
with it's sink leading right down into
the depths of the earth. But an even
odder use than this to which nature
may be put discovered in the cave
country of Virginia.
''Thc little town of Eldridge. with a
population of six or seven hundred, has
large contingent of miners TO be
handled by the authorities, and when
they get ugly they are ugly indeed.
Two or three coolers for their accom-
mediation when drunk and disorderly
had been burned or torn down by them,
and the town marshal was hard put to
know what to do. At last the editor of
the local paper suggested that the cave
in the mountain not 300 yards from he
city hall would be just the thing for
calaboose, and the marshal proceeded to
investigate. lie found that the way
then in use to get into it was down
ladder so feet through an entrance six
or eight feet in diameter. and that when
once in the cave the air was dry and
good; there was stream of fine water.
and that, though it was dark, the elcc-
trio light could be introduced easily
from the town plant.
THAT was his report, and without
saying anything much to anybody beds
and boards and few other pieces Of
necessary furniture were taken down.
and on Saturday night when the boys
began to whoop it up and were taken
in they were carefully let down into the
cave by rope on portable windiass
that had been rugged over the mouth,
and silence prevailed on the face Of the
earth. The lights were turned on and
it was bright and cheerful; the boys
lad all the room they wanted they
could do as they pleased (down there),
and the loudest noise they could make
couldn't possibly be heard on earth.
That plan worked with eminent sue
cess until one night there was fight
and man was hurt, and then the au-
thorities fixed up some cages, or pens,
and an officer went down first to receive
the visitors and care for them on their
arrival. 1t has been working that way
ever since and is undoubtedly the safest
prison in the whole country and is the
cheapest and most enduring"-Wash-

MEANING OF THEOHIO CONTEST.
Must he Regarded ms a Victory for
Sound Money.

SOUnu money.
The success of the efforts of those re-
publicans in Ohio who have been work
ing to compass the defeat of Mark
Hanna for the senatorship would have
produced lamentable effect upon the
republican party everywhere and
would have excited the deepest enthu-
siasm in the free silver party through
out the country.
The extent to which this question en-
tered into the contest appears to be
little understood in the east, but if the
,lans of the opposition had prevailed,
the country would not have remained
long in doubt as to what it meant
AS it is. the struggle has signifi-
canoe which should not be overlooked.
1t should impress anti-silver voters
throughout the country with the fact
that the followers of Mr., Bryan are
wide-awake and more resolved on VIC
tory than ever before. They have en-
deavored to capture the United States
senatorship in the state of the presi-
lent of the United States, who carried
it. less than two years ago by over
$4,000 plurality 1t may be taken for
granted that they will go into every
congressional district in the north and
east where they have chance to win
and will wage desperate battle.
They are very confident. Already
they are boasting that the next house
Of representatives will contain ma
jority in favor Of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. A short time ago il
was said that the leaders of the party
would endeavor TO disguise their de-
signs as far as silver is concerned, con-
tenting themselves with preaching the
doctrine contained in the rest of the
Chicago platform.
But the Ohio senatorship has forced
their hands-possibly they make the
exposure willingly. AT all events, it
must be obvious even to those who have
been trying to convince themselves that
the silver question is dead, that it is
very much alive, and is going to play
a prominent part in the congressional
elections this year.
This, then, is the meaning of the
strenuous effort which has been made
to defeat Mark Hanna. The cry that
he was an "intolcraut boss" was mere
ly n blind. lie may have excited the
ire of many men, but the main objec-
ton to him was that he represented
the sound money cause, and his defeat
would be n pronounced and brilliant
victory for free silver.-Albany Jour
