Bright Moment In a Boys Lie.
Chicago Record.l

Two girls attired in their matinee COS
TUNES were hurrying eastward for their
car. They We're both under one UNI
brelIa, and We're talking eagerly and
both at once. one of them, in pulling
her handkerchief from her shopping
bag, tunblel a big square letter out on
to the muddy pavement. She did not
notice her loss, but a small newsboy
did. He was selling a paper at the
time, but he left his customer instantly,
swooped down on the letter and scam
pered at the top Of his speed after the
'.Hi, LADY," he called. ''Youse dropped
somethin''
The girl in the dark blue costume who
carried the shopping bag turned and
the boy held out the letter, but sud
denly noticing that it was muddy he
drew It quickly back and wiped it care
fully on the inside Of his ragged little
Jacket. then he let the girl have it.
II the man who wrote the bold super
scription on the muddy envelope ever
got q sweeter smile from the girl in
blpe than she bestowed on the little
newsboy he is to be envied.
Thank you very much She said.
s'I'm very, very much obliged to YOU
The boy grinned broadly and sheep
ishly, made a fumbling attempt on the

had been looking cynically on.
"'Tryin' to make a mash ?" asked the
cynic between puffs Of a cigarette end.
''Doin' the dead act? How much did she
give yer, Brassey."'
Brassey made no reply for a moment.
He was looking after the girls, who had
nearly reached the street corner, and
he had remnant Of the grin still lin
gering about his dirty face At the
corner the girl in blue turned, nodded
and waved her hand, and Brassey
waved a paper back to her. When she
and her companion got into their car
B1assey turned TO his cigarette-smok-
ing colleague.
Didn't give me nawthin'," he said.
''Whatd she give me anythin' for?"
The cynic snorted. Gee. you're a
dead one.' he remarked. you'd ought

Brassey looked az him with sover-
eign contempt. You're a cheap skate, -
he said, deliberately.

While Finishing Bit of Landscape.

CVew York Herald.)
While putting the finishing touches
on a picture Wednesday Franz Abel,
an Austrian artist, fell to the floor of
his home and died from heart disease.
1t was not a masterpiece that he was
painting. It was just q little land
scape, planned to buy bread for his
wife and child.
The artist was SO years old. He was
born in Paris of Austrian parents. he
studied i'll Paris and exhibited pictures
in the salon. He came to America
twelve years ago. Just before leaving
Paris he married a French girl. Six
years ago he became i'll and afterward
was subject to epileptic fits. He was no
longer able to do the work he once did,
and was i'll SO much of the time that
his little family was often in sore
straits. He worked hard when he was
able and sold his pictures to an art
dealer.
After finishing the picture Wednes-
day he stood off to view it critically.
AS he stood he fell to the floor and died.
His wife and 11-year- daughter were
absent They found him lying with a
splash of paint from his palette on his
face. While working here in poverty,
Abel had wealthy relatives in Europe.
His sister Katie is the Countess Orch
lex, and lives in a suburb of Vienna.
She was formerly an opera singer and
sang in grand opera in Vienna and
other European capitals. The dead ar
fist also had a. brother in Vienna, who
is said to be wealthy banker Pride

who IS now in Paris, is quoted in an
,ff erNleW as expressing himself san
Bnfne OF success. He claims that Carl
ism has made strong Roadway among
the repatriated soldiers, while the peo-
pie, The clergy and some OF the bishops,
he alleges, are longing to return to the
old regime
The count added: "As for the pope.
he Is always on the side Of the party
u power, and win send his blessing TO
Don Carlos as soon as he sits on the
throne. General Weyler is ready to
give his support to the highest bidder.
and Don Carl 3 his wife (the Princess
De Rohan) and her family, are ready to
advance funds, and the French legiti-
matists viii also aid financially and
provide volunteers"
According to the travellers in Spain.
there is little or no feeling against
Americans among the Spanish people
generally. An English visitor Wko has
just crossed Spain writes to the En-
glish papers, saying: 4 have not found
a trace Of unfriendliness or a word Of
abuse for Americans. If any of them
care to come here (meaning SPAIN,
they viii find every one very happy to
see them"
A resident ia Spain told me that if
an American army marched into the
country. it would be received with
10 him that it would be better TO have
the good government of America than
tc suffer as we do.
The soldiers who have come home
have given favorable accounts Of the
Americans, for whom they seem to
have a real liking.
WAR IN INDIA.
The unpleasant news from the Indian
frontier, where the Mad Mullah is
again on the warpath, has caused con-
siderable apprehension among the In
dian authorities, though the latest ad-
vices show that his victorious march
has been partly checked by the friendly
Khan of Roba1, who, by a timely move,
has saved the British lines OF commu-
niCation with TIE garrison at Chitral,
which the Mad AIullah -endeavored to
CIT The fanatical movement, how
ever, has taken a strong hold among
the Swats, and there is prospect OF
another little frontier war"
A British force Of nearly 1000 men is
now held in readiness for movement to
the front. The followers of the Mullah
are variously estimated to number from
1900 TO 5000, and their numbers are
growing daily.
The appeal of General Lord Kitch-
ener of KhartOum for funds to found
a Gordon Memorial college at Khar-
toum, met with an immediate response.
Over go 600 out of the 100000 asked
for has already been subscribed.
Advices from Russia say the reports
of threatened famine there are growing
more gloomy every day. Count Leo
Tolstoi has petitioned the government
for permission to forra relief commit
tees to cope with the distress. and the
car himself has contributed half a
million roubles TO the Red Cross so
ciety TO aid the starving peasants.

THE COSI41 RICAN COUNTER
FETTERS.

For many months the Costa Rican
counterfeiters have been issuing bogus
notes of the government of the island
until the amount, it is said, has reached
$1,O0O,O00. ] spectors of the secret ser
vice bureau were chiefly instrumental
in bringing the malefactors to justice.
The efficiency of the secret service is
undoubted, but it is by no means Sc
cret, out a potent fact, that the service
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters does
the weak, nervous and dyspeptic is of
genuine value. There have been from
time to time counterfeits of it, as there
are of the genuine Costa Rican notes,
but the miniature note of hand on the
label and the vignette of st. George and
the Dragon, coupled with the exquisitely
finished typographical work, are not sue
cessfully imitable. Any one who has
used the Bitters knows it's admirable
qualities and the features of the exterior
of the bottles. This agreeable tonic abb
solutely prevents and remedies malaria,
rheumatism, liver complaint, kidney
trouble and dyspepsia.

GOLD AND VIRTUE INC0NRGRUOUS.

Senator Edumunds thought he had
turned a nice point when he sought
to couple gold with virtue. In his
reply to a question from Mr.. New
lands, who asked: 'Is there a sufficiency
of gold in the worldT' he replied: mot
a suffIciency of gold or virtue"
The Asheville Citizen, commenting on
this little dialogue, replies so happily
and fully to the attempt to drag virtue
down to the level of gold that we quote
it in full as follows:
$50 they march together, do they,
gold and virtue? Senator Edumunds is
going to run the camel through the
needles eye, is he? In all ages it has
never before been done, but perhaps we
are to see it with the dawn of the new
century. And virtue, after tr0tting in
single harness since the beginning mate
and it's .name is goldl Two more in
congruous things could not be yoked-
virtue within the reach of the poor even
more readily than of the rich, wide
spread as humanity, the coin of the
mint of the pure in heart, the daily
solace of the unfortunate; and gold, rare
indeed. but associated with CRIME, ana
misery; the cause of sordid avarice; an
instrument of good, in the main, it is
true. but the cause of endless suffering.
but Senator Edmunds also said that
he thought 'if Mr.. Eewlands and him
self looked after themselves and lived
fen wears more they might see such
great stores of gold discovered that II
would he necessary to make silver the
standard Of value because of its becom-
ing the more precious of the two
metals.
"That exposes the gold mans platform
TO the nicely. His dollar is always the
S,earer dollar, the one the worker fol
wages will invariably find to be the
hardest to get; the one that is appre-
ciating and therefore committing rob-
berry as it goes along. When silver be-
comes the scarcer of the two then Sena'
for Fdumunds will want that metal as
a standard he says. But the logica
way is to have the double standard al
the present moment, leaving the dearel
dollar. whether gold or silver, if there
, should be one. to take itself off out o.
the country if it desired to do so, while
the more stable one remained to be tn,

HOW TO KEEP BANKS FROM FAILING.

The Blue Ridge Bank, organized at
A,heville last week, adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That no officer, director
or employe of the Blue Ridge Ma
tionol bank shall be permitted at any
+ime to borrow money from the
hank directly or indirectly, through
note overdraft or otherwise"
Before it was adopted, Mr. J. w. Nor
wood. the new president, said: Ere
auent bank failures, are caused in the
South by lending funds of the bank to the
officers and their friends. If the direc-
tors and officers were prohibited from
borrowing from the bank they would
be more disposed to scrutinize closely all
securities offered by borrowers"
This is not only true of THE Southern
banks it is true also of the banks in the
North. The big bank failure at Philadel-
phia is a case in point. 1t now comes
out that Mr.. Singerly, the head of the
failed Chestnut Street National Bank
was indebted to the bank in the sum of
S642,O 900. The capital stock was $780,
600. Mr.. Singerly owed $4,000 more
than the stock. He owed the Chestnut
Street Trust and Saving Fund Compa-
ny. of which he was an officer 100000
and its capital was S250,000. The Sc
curity held by the bank was a large ex-
tent of stock in the Trust company aud
the security held by the Trust company
was stock in the bank. He was the
largest stakeholder in both.
No matter how much capital a bank
has no matter how large its surplus, or
how rigid the government examination
is said to be, the real protection of
depositors after all rests in the honor
and integrity of the bank officials. The
examinations cannot be relied upon.
When the bank failed at Morganton, the
State Treasurer stated that he knew its
condition and Mr.. Eckles said the
Chestnut Street bank at the time of its
failure was much better than two years
$50. With these statements, it is clear
tuat the people have no protection worth
considering in bank examiners.
There is but one safe reliance for a
depositor and that is in the honesty and
Integrity of bank officials.

SENATOR EDMUNDS C0NFCUgDE0 BY Ills
OWN DEFINITION,

1t was Locke who said that when
ever he spoke Of money he meant silver
because it was the most stable money
in the world. 1t is because Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Daniel, Mr.. Morgan and other great
Democrats believe in a stable standard
that they favor the free coinage of silver.
In his speech Senator Edmunds gave the
true definition of the kind of money that
ought to be the standard in these words:
1.-THE best standard is the one subject
to least change, one to which all other
values must readily adjust themselves,
one which will be the same when
transaction closes as it was when It
opened
Silver men agree with Mr.. Edmunds.
They prove that gold is not the money
that meets the definition. Sir Robert
Griffen says that gold has risen very ma
terially in value since 1878. No money
metal is stable, but statistics show that
cotton, wheat and silver in the long run
fall and rise in proportions near enough
to show that their fuctuation is more
a
wants as the standard money which
will be the same when a transaction
closes as it was when it opened" he will
be forced TO discard gold. The man
who bought land ten years ago has felt
by ruinous depreciation that the appre-
cation of gold has made his debt at the
close of the transaction twice as dear as
when it opened"
The leading bi-metallists in Washing
ton have accepted Senator Edmunds's
definition as correct, and they declare that
it leaves his advocacy Of gold incon-
sistent with his definition. There is
no question" said Senator Cockrell, of
Missouri, who has been leader in the
silver fight from the first, "that Senator
Edmunds's description of the desirable
standard is exactly what the silver men
have contended all the time. No man
who studies the facts of financial history,
who notes the wild scramble for gold
which is going ON in all the countries Of
the world, and the steady and constant
depreciation in the value of products
measured in gold, can come to any other
conclusion than that the gold standard
is a constantly approaching standard
and is in no sense stable. Our conten-
ton has always been that the only fair
standard Of value is that which presents
the same conditions at the end of a
transaction as We're presented at the be-
ginning. I am glad to see that Senator
Edmunds is arriving at the same con-
clusion l think when we get our gold
standard friends to admitting that the
one thing to be desired is stability, the
work of education is progressing finely"
Senator Edmunds viii have to coin
another definition or abandon the advo-
cacy Of the gold standard.
