anxiety the merchants have had since

was entirely cut OF. Every business man

CHICAGO, Dec. A.-"If the war In the
Transvaal continues for two or three
months longer the cause Of silver will
have been won," said former United
States Senator Dubois, of Idaho, one of
the Silver Republicans who was In Chi
cago today.
THE short time 1t has been in prog
ress," continued Mr.. Dubois, has fur
nished proof of the contentious of the
friends Of silver that there is not enough
gold in the world to form the basis Of
the worlds money, and If the war con-
tinues the length of time have indicated
the truth of this will have become too
apparent for successful contravention.

a mighty influence in the condition Of
affairs next year in this country, and that
the object lesson will convince the peo-
pie of this country that 1t is not safe to
place on gold the entire burden Of the
monetary volume of the world.
1T may be interesting to observe that
the panic in New York was simultaneous
with the passage of the house gold stand

MR.. VANDERBILT CENsURED,
MtlliOnaire's Neglect TO Serve as n
Juror Exploited in Court.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-Justice Fitzsim-

vanderbilt yesterday for neglect to an
sWer in any way summons for jury
duty last April or 10 respond to notifica-

mons was given to court officer on April
Z, and he, instead of serving it in person.

The panel Of juI ors appeared in court
on April G, and Mr.. Vanderbilt was not
among them. He was. fined $780, and the
matter was referred to the proper law
officer of the county to sue and collect
A notice was served on Mr. Vanderbilt
in October to appear and show cause why
the fine should not beTimposed. Mr.. Van
derbift did not pay any attention to this,
and judgment was entered against him.
A notice was sent to him that unless the
fire was paid Immediately Mr.. Wander
biit would be subject to contempt Of
court. His lawyers have appeared in
court and secured the promise of hear
ing on Jan. g. Judge FitZsimmons said to
them:
This is a nice way for Mr. Vanderbilt
to do. He paid no attention whatever to
the summons or the Office To show cause
! Now he makes a frivolous excuse, which
is of no legal weight whatever. Mr.. Van
derbilt's action is in Unfortunate contrast
to that of John Jacob Astor, who when
summoned for jury duty rot only ap-
peared but served
Rich rnen who expect their property to
be protected should do their part toward

schools. Section 8 of the law authorizing
the appointment of a truant officer and
the establishment of an ungraded school,
which law was passed al the last session
of the legislature. says:
Such board School board of any such
school district or city may establish ana
maintain one or more ungraded schools
for the instruction of the following
classes of children In such district OF
CITY, who are of or between the ages OF
eight and sixteen years, to wit: Class
l, habitual truants from any schools in
which they are enrolled as pupils class
2, children who, while in attendance at
any school, are incorrigible, vicious or
immoral in conduct; and class g. children
who habitually wander about the streets
or other public places during school
hours, without lawful employment, bus
iness or occupation. All such children
shall be deemed Juvenile disorderly per-
sons and may, by such board of such
school district or city in which they re-
side, be assigned TO and required and
compelled to attend such ungraded school
or any department of the graded public
schools of such district or city, as such
board may determine.
Under this section the board of educa-
ton of Minneapolis, through its truant
officers may require the attendance at
school of all children between the ages
of eight and sixteen. who are not '!aw-
fully employed" even though the parents
of the children raise objection. But the
Minneapolis board of education will not
adhere strictly to this clause of section
8. The efforts of the truant officers will
be confined to those in class l and class 2.
Habitual truants and incorrigibles will
be the especial prey of Mr. Holt He
will consult with the parents Of this
class Of children-after receiving the re-
port through Supt. Jordan-and in every
case will endeavor to secure the consent
of these parents to permit the transfer
of the children to the ungraded school.
If the parents object. perhaps Mr. Holt
will listen to the objections and find
other ways of disciplining the unruly
ones; but these other methods must be
of the proper sort or the boy will go to
the ungraded school.

1899 will reach the grand total of $780,

year. In the year named the total amount
was a little over So, 600 600. The next year,
