AN EARTHQUAKE SCIENTIST.
Tommy HAD Found tho Almanac In tho
Garret,


This occurred Just before the last
full moon at pretty residence on
Trumbull avenue, says the Detroit Free
Press. The head of the house is Of q
scientific turn OF mind, loves to inves-
tlgate the phenomena OF nature and
takes 1t as q part Of his duty to impart
his knowledge to the rest OF the fam
lily. On the night in question he found
an almanac on the table, which he
reads. Turning the leaves carelessly
while thinking about going to bed, he
was surprised to come upon the In
formation that there was to be an
almost total eclipse OF the moon that
night, and that 1t would be visible
from this part Of the globe at / a. m.
In his excitement he was about to call
the rest of the folks, who had retired,
but on second thought he hunted up
broken bits of glass and went to
smoking them, Just as though 1t were
the blazing sun which was to be
viewed. This done he watched the
clock vigllantly until 1t was time to
wake the others They had none OF
his enthusiasm, but went yawnlng and
shivering to the back porch, from
which the best view was to be OBJ
tanned. The moon never looked bright
er than 1t did at o'clock. Il must
be that the almanac meant 1 o'clock
standard time, he explained nervously,
and for another half-hour he kept his
eyes glued on the silvery orb. Not
spot darkened its surface. Ten min
utes later his wife mutlnied and her
sleepy brood followed her into the
house, despite his protest. He fol-
lowed them and again took up the al.
manac. "Found that In the attic to-
day." explained 6-year-old Tommy.
Slowly the father read aloud from the
back until he came to eighteen hun
dred and flf----" when he ripped the
book to fragments and began saying
things that caused the mother to rush
the children upstairs.

CHAPTER XI.-(Continued,)
Headlong we stumbled over piles OF
lava; now we sank ankle deep among
the soft pumice dust, anon we rolled,
fell or scrambled through Wild vines
and creepers; then through fields or
growing maize and wheat, or planta-
tlons OF coffee and apple trees; but
never pausing until we reached the
base OF the mighty Plton, where,
breathless, gasping, painting and bath
ed In persplration, we lay down In a
little thicket Of cinnamon bushes by
the wayside to rest for short space.
During this flight had never spok-
en-, but Tom from time to time indulg-
cd In dlsjointed remarks expressive OF
an exultation In which | could not
share, being only thankful to heaven
for my escape. But poor r-Tom had
seen more Of rough life, and of many
a violent death, than It could possibly
have been my lot to witness.
"Ha, hal you Spanish swabsl We've

Spanish gorillas"
Whether he meant guerrlllas / did
not inquire, but was happy when we
reached the harbor and felt the cool
breeze OF the ocean fan my throbbing
temples and my hands, which, from be-
ing so long and so tightly tied with
rough cords, and having the blood att
erward driven through them by rapid
exertion, felt literally burning hot.
All was dark and still when We ran
along the stone mole Of Santa Cruz
Fortunately at that late hour there was
no official to question or molest us; and
we could see the brig anchored about
half a mile distant, with the lantern
still burning at the foremasthead. The
light on the castle had disappeared.
We soon found small punt at the
landing stairs, and, taking possession
OF It without leave, cast loose the
painter and showed Off.
Silently and steadily, with all oul
remaining strength, we pulled for the
brig, and we're soon alongside.
"Well, this spree is over Master
Rodney" said Tattooed Tom, wipinl
his brow with his sleeve when w
stood on the deck, where the wonder

CHAPTER XII.
The Anchor A-Peak.

Alarmed by the foregoing narrative,
which was fully corroborated by our
excitement, by the two muskets we
had brought on board as trophies, by
the state of our hands and wrists, and
the numerous cuts and bruises we had
upon us; and fearing the consequent
detention of the brig for some legal In
Quiry, Captain Weston prepared at
once for putting to sea.
was happy when finding myself on
the deck OF the Eugenie, but still more
supremely happy on hearing Weston's
resolution to get underway, as l pos
sessed very vague but decidedly un-
pleasant ideas Of Spanish justice, and
had visions OF alcaldes, algua2ils,
wheels, garrotes, and even the masked
familiars of the Inqulsition itself,
floating before me.
MY heart beat responsive to the clank
Of the windlass pawls, as the Eugenie
was hove short on her anchor, and the
hands started aloft to cast loose the
topsails.
Weston threw our two muskets into
the sea lest their discovery on board
might cause suspicion or annoyance
The morning was clear, cool and
starry; as yet no vestlge Of dawn was
visible. and all was still and quiet on
shore; but was In momentary expec-
tation Of seeing boat dash off toward
us, though those from whom we had
escaped could have no just cause Of
complaint.
Suddenly heard the sound of oars,
and saw long, low boat shoot out
from the obscurity Of the harbor My
heart stood still for a moment as this
craft was steered in our direction, but
to my infinite relief II boarded n Costa
Rican that lay near us.
AS vet the shadows Of night were on
land and sea-on everything save the
cone of the Peak that lowered above
the clouds, and there shown the light
Of the yet unrisen sun, yellow deepen
ing into saffron, purple, blue, and then
indigo, blending with the blackness Of
night as the eye descended to the
shore.
So Weston gave the order to brace
the foreyards aback and the mainyards
full; another wrench at the windlass,
and the anchor was tripped.
"Heave and a-wash!" cried Tom
Lambourne, cheerily, giving the usual
call of encouragement when the drip
ping anchoring is just out of the water
and the stock is seen to stir the sur
face.
The courses were let fall and the lib
was hoisted; her head fell rapidly
round and she paid of bravely. Then
the frey cone of the Plton and the
lights Of Santa Cruz; which had gilt
tered in tremulous lines along the wa
ter on our beam, were shining upon
our lee quarter.
"Fill away the headyards-hand-
Eonely now!' cried Weston, and Just

A prominent hotel man In Cleveland
recently made q statement that the
trusts which have been organized in
the last few years have thrown over
100000 travelling men out Of employ
ment and, as consequence, the hotela
have suffered great loss. He advocates
as remedy, the organization Of ho-
tel trust, believing that when through
the monopolization Of certain interests
other interests are financially injured
that the logical thing to do for the suf
fering party is to follow the example
of the injurer This is indeed the in
nate law Of the stupendous economic
evolution evolving with ever-increas-
ing rapidity from the competitive
pendemonium. One trust and combi-
nation Of economic interests calla
forth another. 1t is an unaltera BILE
law, and we might MS well accustom
ourselves TO the facts Of the case,
and seek the natural remedy for the
evils of the many trusts by establish
ing the universal trust, including the
whole nation, and by and by the whoI
world, as participants and beneficial.

THE CHARM OF PHRASES.
MEANINGLESS TERMS THAT
PLEASE AND DECEIVE.
'"Honost Money" 'Dcbasod Currency"
"sound Money" Gold Standard"
and Gold Basis" are ail Terms used
by tho Money Power to Deceive.

The gold metal trick is undoubtedly
the most ingenious and simple device
ever invented by man to defraud and
plumber the honest, conHdlng labor
class. And when its far-reaching re-
suits are considered, II is tho most
stupendous and successful bunco game
ever worked on the most INTEL gent
and highly civilized nations of the
world. The scheme originated in Eng
land and is the product of the brain Of
the Bank Of England jew fnancicrs.
The gold metal scheme owes not lit
tie of It's success TO the jargon its in
ventors use. Pleasant sounding phras-
es, like Motor Keely's ingenious sclen-
tihc vocabulary, haye not little mys-
tic power on the public, and people Of
more than ordinary intelligence are
readily humbugged by them. Gold
basis at frst used by the investors Of
our modern money phrases, but was
dropped for the more captivating term
of "gold standard" "Sound money"
is another ingenious, but entirely
meaningless term or phrase, used by
gold bunco steerers." "Honest money"
is also a O. waiting part of their jar
,gon, and oased currency" are the
chief phrases of this financial jargon
used to conjure with and delude sim
pie too-conading public.
II meaning descriptive of money
be searched for in these terms it will
not he found. They are mere jingle
to please the ear and confuse the pub
lie mind not unlike the sleight-of-hand
tricks OF n juggler Gold is very little
in use as money but as metal, wholly
independent Of money, and for the
purpose of controlling the functions Of
money. 1t is assumed that certain
number of grains Of gold shall repre-
sent money unit and nothing else
shall be used to constitute that unit
The legal tender power Of government
conferred on money is sought to be
abolished and money function lodged in
gold metal alone. BY clandestine leg
islation, secured mainly by bribery,
the gold metal bunco men have we'll
nigh accomplished their purpose.
The money which effects exchanges,
the only true function of money, is sill
yer and paper. This money and gold
metal which banks may hold are used,
on which they sell credit or discount
promisary notes that are liens on the
property of borrowers. Through these
mediums the business Of the country is
transacted. When given number Of
grains Of gold alone constitute the
money unit all evidences OF debt calls
for their redemption or settlement in
gold or It's equivalent. The legal ten
der money function being taken from
government and lodged In gold, the
quantity of money is controlled by the
owners of gold. All debts or deferred
payments calling for gold, the holders
of such obligations very readily draw
all gold into their possession or con-
troll completely that which is not held
in their possession by the debts which
they hold.
The ingenious eontrivance of au6-
stituting gold metal in place OF gov
ernment legal tender II will be readily

The senatorial elections in Pennsyl-
vanin, Delaware, California, Nevada
and Montana are attended with charges
of bribery and attempted bribery open
ly made and apparently only too we'll
grounded. In West Virginia methods
that indicate equal unscrupulousnesn
In another direction are being used.
The senate still has before it charger
OF corruption In the election Of Hanna
from Ohio for the term that begins
next March, And how many other
senator's who take their seats then rep
resent nothing but boss either In per-
son or by proxy.
1t has never been pretended that the
election Of senators by legislatures
was an attempt TO get at the popular
will. 1t seems now to have almost
ceased to be record of the will Of the
legislators themselves. 1t seems rath-
cr to be descending to mere record OF
the triumph of one or two or more
rival clevernesses at corruption and
sharp practice.

mands attention-one of many that
certainly concern us more than the
