WHAT Gage IL doing.

How no Meets tho Demand for Cur
renoy OF Small Denomination.
The attempt Of the Treasury De.
partment to relieve the currency fam
inc is an extremely instructive lesson
in governmental finances. There is a
widespread demand for currency of a
small denomination for the ordinary
business transactions of the people.
Paper is the kind wanted, not silver
dollars or gold dollars OF five dollar
gold pieces. To meet this need the
best the Treasury can do is to lssue
gold certificates Of the denomination
OF 800, with the open confession that
oven this measure will be Of doubtful
utility. Not one dollar will be added
to the cum Of money in tie country
by this vancouver. It's effect will be
to simply add to the $40 bills in the
country when the demand ID for ones
and twos. This may prove a relief in
some directions, but it certainly can
not help the small business trans
actions where the small bills are
needed
But two ways are now opeu for the
injection of new blood into the cur
rency circulation of the country, says
the Bayonet. One is the issue of the
national bank notes and the other the
coinage of gold. The first is An ex-
ceedingly clumsy method. theH opera
tons Of which depends not OH the ne
cessitIes of the business community,
but on the price of United States
bonds and the probsb BILE profit In the
issue Of bonds based thereon. The
second has lately furnished a sub.
stantial addition to our stock of
money, but in an unpopular form,
since people do not Like to use gold
money, and issuance Of paper money
against gold is restricted to notes of
large denominations.
These considerations point strongly
to the desirabiity of currency legis.
lation which will furnish to the peo.
pie the kind, of money they need at
the time they need it most. The
present Secretary of the Treasury
would have the banks perform this
office. But why can't the govern.
ment perform it as well? Whether
the banks or the Government control
the currency is one Of the storm CEN
tiers OF the financial question and and
il bound to 80 continue as long as the
administration purposes an addition
to the privileges of the national
banks.

FEAR OF LIGHTNING.
Much Mental Suffering II NeedleSBly
Undergone by Nervous
Persons.

The keen suffering which many un-
dergo just in advance of or during q
thunder storm is of dual nature. The
sense Of ;nrending danger alarms and
terrifies but there is also a depression
of spirits which IS physical and real,
brought about by some as yet unknown
relation between the nervous system
and conditions of air pressure, humid
ity and purity. The suffering due to de-
preston and partial exhaustion re-
quircs, from those who are strong,
sympathy rather than ridicule. The
suffering due to alarm and fright, how
ever, is unnecessary. 1t is largely the
work of the imagination. To a nerv-
Gus nature there is something appall-
ing in the wicked, spiteful CLEAN of the
lightning, and the crash and tumult of
thunder. But such one should re-
member that the flash is almost always
far distant, and that thunder can do no
more damage than the low notes of n
church organ. Counting all the deaths
from all the storms during a year, we
find that the chance of being killed by
lightning is less than one in hundred
thousand. The risk in the city may be
said to be five times less than in the
country. Dwellers in city houses may
be startled by peals of thunder, but
owing to the great spread of tin roofing
and fair ground connections, there is
very little danger. In the country, if
buildings are adequately protected, and
the momentum of the flash provided
for, the occupants may feel secure. A
good conductor we'll grounded is nee
essary in all isolated and exposed build
ings. Barns, especially when lined
with green crops, should have good
lightning conductors. The question is
often asked: do trees prCtrCt =" Thc
answer is that the degree Of protection

lightning, and it's electrical cnerry con-
vertcd into harmless heat ard rapidly
disuipatcd. Accidents occur chiefly be-
cause the victims ignorantly place
themselves in the line of greatest
strain, and thus form part of the path of
discharge. For this reason, it is not
wise to stand under trees, near flag
poles, or masts, in doorways, on
Porches, close to fireplaces, or near
barns. Those who are not exposed in
any of these ways may feel reasonably
safe. 1t should be remembered, in the
event of accident, that lightning does
not always kill. 1t more often results
in suspended animation than in somatic
death. Therefore, in case Of accident,
try to restore animation, keep the body
warm, and send for physician without
delay.-Alexander McCabe, in Century.

MR.. M'KINLEY's TRIP.


Washington, Sept. 3O.-President Nc
Kinley's trip to the west, which is to
reach Dakota, has great deal more
significance attached to IL than mere
pleasure junket. Originally planned
simply in response to the desire OF the
people OF the west to see the president,
Mr.. Mckinley has now determined to
utilize this opportunity to see with his
own eyes and test with his own hear
ing the real sentiment of the west to-
ward the policy OF expansion.
Not only will he test public senti-
ment by bis speeches, but members of
the cabinet will also speak along the
same lines. That is the reason why
the president has asked all the mem
bers Of the cabinet to accompany him
and why majority, If not all, will 20.
The orators of the cabinet, Secretary
Long, Postmaster General Smith, At
torney General Griggs, Secretary Gage,
perhaps Secretary Root, will make one
or more speeches, and they will preach
the doctrine Of expansion. II the
speeches arouse the enthusiasm that is
expected, and If it is seen that the en-
thusiasm is sincere and spontaneous
and not merely perfunctory politeness,
the presidents utterances to congress
will be couched in no uncertain tones.

Berlin, Sept. 80 The International
Geographical congress yesterday

Mr.. Bryant read a paper, 1.-The Drift
of Casks to Determine Arctic Currents"
recommending their general adoption
as Admiral Melville planned and as the
Philadelphia Geographical society
carried out.
The congress discussed the German
and British expeditions to the souch
pole. DR.. hansen, who was greeted
with vociferous cheering, spoke of the
utility of dogs and urged that the yes
sells should be made as strong as posi-
bic, saying 1t was better to have several
small ships than one large one. He

portance that Germany and America
should act in unison.

Cincinnati, o., Sept. S0.-The Big
Four warehouse, occupying square
on Pearl street, between Central ave-
nue. and Plum street, was destroyed by
fire early this morning. The damage
to the Chesapeake & Ohio bridge was
slight. The Smith street bridge across
the tracks was destroyed and the sheds
of the Union passenger station as well
as the freight depot and warehouse
and many cars. 1t is impossible to es-
innate the number of cars burned. The
Union passenger station was saved by
pulling out the cars from the adjoining
sheds while they were burning The
loss of goods in the warehouse and
loaded cars will affect many shippers
and others as well as the railway which
has sustained heavy losses. The loss
was roughly estimated at over 81, OOO,-
