Our silver friends have an object
lesson now at Santiago. The mer-
chants there make no distinction be-
tween American silver and any other
silver, and insist on taking American
dollars at half their face value, just
as they take Mexican and other silver
money as compared with gold. As
soon as they find they can exchange
American silver at par for gold, they
will accept it at par. If our coinage
of silver were without limit we could
not possibly make silver dollar ex-
change at par with gold, and it would
hold the same relative value toward
gold that the Mexican dollar now
holds. 1t is because our silver coin
age is limited that we can maintain
silver at par.-Staunton News.

Some Southern papers are very
much exercised over the fact that
Gen. Lees corps has not been order
ed to the front. We see no reason to
complain. Gen. Lees reputation
which he won by fighting United
States soldiers cannot be greatly en-
HANGED by fighting Spaniards. His
men have obeyed orders. What more
can they do? Obedience to orders Is
the highest duty Of a soldier. We
see no reason why a soldier should
complain because his orders have not
required him to expose himself to
yellow and malarial fcverS or the
music of Mauser rifle bullets, which
we are persuaded to believe sound as
swsetly at distance as they do
when the combatants are very near
each other.
If they were ordered to the front
they would cheerfully'go and fight as
bravely as any that have gone, but
We see no use in shedding tears and
whining because they have not been
among the first to 90 to Cuba. The
probability is that they will have the
opportunity to have their willingness
to obey orders fully tested, but if no
such opportunity should come to
them, we will not complain about ii.

Since the price of wheat has gone
down, the calamity hOwlen are be-
ginning to raise their heads and tell
the people that they had been prom
ised higher prices for their produce,
under a sound money administration.
They know that such stuff is not true
when they write it. Sound money
men believe that the people will be
more prosperous, under sound
money administration, and have al
WAYS contended that the law of sup
ply and demand would regulate the
prices. They also believe that the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at l6 to /, may initiate the Lominal,
not the real, prices of produce, that
it will destroy the credit of the
gCa.ral government and will bring
rum to large class of our popula-
ton. For the sake of the good of
all the people, it is to be earnestly
hoped, that the jingOes and calamity
howlers may soon cease TO exert any
influence in the land.

The Spaniards at Santiago refuse
TO receive American silver dollars for
more than so cents, because they
know they contain less silver than
Mexican dollars which pass at fifty
cents. Had the free silver party tri-
umphed two years ago. our money
would now be subject to discount
of5O cents on the dollar, and yet
strange to say thousands of intelli-
gent people still cling to this financial
iignis .tat,nls, and hope to see
free silver dollars. We were III
great danger two years ago, but now
wO are confident that we will never
be ruined by this financial heresy.

The account ofthe fight between
Gen. Garcia and the Spsniards who
were on their way to surrender was
very interesting, but by later DIS
patches we learn that it WAS not cor
rect in several particulars. There is no
correction as to the number of killed
and wounded, but it appears that the
Spsniards were not on their way to
surrender and that Gen. Garcia and
his Cubans did not fight them at all.

A DOLL PARADISE
Hospital Clinics by Man With a
Kindly Face

Philadelphia has a paradise for lame,
halt and blind dolls. The physician is
a man with kindly face, to whose care
childrtn are never afraid to intrust their
precious charges. His hours for con-
sultation are announced in the placard:
"Doll hospital clinics from a. m. to 5
p. M" 1t is said that 700 dolls are now
in the hospital. Tables and shelves are
covered with dismembered bodies and
disbodied members lie strewn about. In
rows upon the shelves lie the patients,
their heads to the wall and their pink
feet stretched pathetically toward the
hospital visitor. The doctors instru-
ments arc few and simple. He has his
knives and pincers. His salve is mu-
cilage; the thread he uses for his anti
septic surgery is wire, and he supplies
nerves by the yard in the shape of long
rubber cords, whose diameter varies
with the size of the doll. branch Of

where teeth are not extracted, but put

lies, or curls the old ones until they are
restored to their first freshness. Two

the city. They receive patients without

THREE DISTINCT CHANGES
e. REQUIRES the Nicest Skill to Change
From Black to Violets and
Pinks

PARIS, Dec. 31.-(Special Core
spondence to The Herald.) The laws
here that regulate the wearing Of
mourning are very rigid. There are
three distinct periods-"periode du
crepe" "periode de la sole noire" ano
"duree du demi-deuil."
Each of these periods has its allot-
ted materials. During the period OF
crepe one may wear serge, whipcord
cashmere, crepe de laine, cheviot, an
mure and number of other woolen ma
terials, but the only trimming permissi-
BILE is "crepe anglais."
During the "periode de la sole noir'
one may add to this list of materials
nearly all the varieties of black silk
with a great assortment of trimming
passementeries, chiffon, mousseline de
sole, lace and ribbon. Astrakhan and
"chevre de mongolie" are the furs most
often worn.
INTO COLOR
The demi-deuil period is marked by
the introduction of grays and violets
into ones toilettes and the lavish use of
black velvet.

A WOMAN VALET
She Acts as Special Servant to Four
Men

Men
1t has not been an uncommon occur
renee for women to have Wallets, but
women Wallets to men are exceptional.
Word comes from ST. Louis of an enter
prising woman that acts as body SER
want to four men, who reside in a fash
ionable quarter of the city. She is a
motherly looking, middle-aged woman,
and always neat in her attire. She
probably does not see her employers
once a month. She goes to their rooms
every day after they have left them and
puts their clothes in order. She gets
the laundry ready and delivers it to the
laundry wagon on specified days. She
is there when it is returned, sorts it.,
sews on missing buttons, darns the
silken socks, puts the handkerchiefs be-
tween their scent bags, and regularly
once a week she cleans out the drawers.
When one of her charges leaves her a
note, saying that he is going to the the
ater or party at night, she lays his
dress suit out, puts the shirt ready, ad-
justs the buttons, varnishes his pumps,
in fact, has everything so that all the
man has to do is to put them on. Next
morning they are as carefully put away.
His various suits of clothes are brushed
every day, and his valet doesn't have to
be told when they should go to the tailor
for fresh creases in the trousers and a
sponging of coat and vest. A moderate
charge per week is made for the service
by this woman, who makes really good
living out of her clever idea of assisting
gentlemen.-Chicago Times-Herald.
