willing to Compromise.

About the middle Of the civil war a
freshly appointed colonel, with a new
~ enlisted regiment, Joined the Union
forces in the far south. One bright
October morning word was received
that q small detachment OF General
Wheeler's cavalrymen was on the 9TH
er side OF the hill, and a force started
out in pursuit. The next day the Con-
federates were reported miles distant
in the opposite direction. The third
day the new colonel and a veteran
brigadier started out for a pleasure
ride. A mile from camp they rode In
to the fugitive Confederates, who had
been circling the camp for a week. 1t
was a narrow escape, but they got
away unframed.
After it was ove the general said to
the colonel, "Well, what do you think

to support the awning. The young

II AUTOMOBILE FAD.
How 1t Has Spread From Paris to
Newport.

How 1t Has Spread From Paris to
Newport.
The acme of up to date SmartneSs is
to w and operate an automobile. In
Paris the use of the horseless carriage
has become a craze. Along the Boule-
ward Haussmann. the Avenue Bots de
Boulogne and the Champs Elysees au-
as plentiful as equipages drawn by
horses. 1t is estimated by the time of
the worlds fair in 1900 there will not
be a single horse left in harness on the
streets of Paris. The Duchesse Dues,
one of the most original of the fash
ionable grand ladies of Paris, intro
duced the fad to society. She was the
first woman to propel her own motor
carriage along the boulevards and
through the Bots. Her son., who early
became devoted to ~automobiling, was
her companion. They were noted
scorchers and had at least one en-
counter with the authorities. They
were enjoined from further fast riding.
1t was not very long until fashiona-

the "teuf teuf," their nickname for the
horseless carriage, given because of

quently seen on fine days vending
their way out the beautiful roads to
Versailles or Eontainebleu. 1t Is no
unusual thing for parties to start early
in the morning and make the run to
Versailles in three hours, a distance Of
over 40 miles. They take breakfast
at the end of the trip. the breakfast
having been ordered in advance at ho-
tel or club by the host or hostess.
Very ardent automobilists even make
the trip to Nice or Trouville, Monte
Carlo or other fashionable resorts in
their horseless carriages, sometimes
sending the machines back by rail and
returning in that ways
The European motor carriages are
large and supplied with every con-
venience for long trips, and as CONT
mental railway carriages are far from
models of luxury the auto carriages
are appreciated by the very rich.
Even baby carriages in Paris are now
supplied with automatic motors, SO
that the nursemaids in the Bots de
Boulogne have practically a s~inecure
and unriyaled leisure for flirting with
the tall gendarmes.
In America, particularly in Newport,
New York and Chicago, the use of the
automobile is rapidly becoming a ia
yorite diversion Of society. Many
wealthy families expect next season to
dispense with their horses and use
the horseless carriages entirely. The
cost is less and the convenience great
er. Besides, it is now considered the
ultra chic thing to do.
The cost Of an automobile Is about
$1,000. The American horseless car
riages are run by electricity. which is

cheaper and less Objectionable in many
ways than petroleum. After the car
riage has been purchased it costs less
than keeping horses and carriage IL one
considers the wages Of a coachman,
expense of harness and cost of feed
ing and caring for a pair of fine horses.
There is on Fifty-second street, New
York, a firm that takes charge of the
automobiles belonging to private fam
lilies. They supply motormen who wear
the livery of the family and charge
only for the time the man is employed.
They rent automobiles for the month
for about $3.50, and the owner may have
his monogram OF coat of arms on the
hired %equipage. A telephone mes

is always in readiness.
In Paris automobile parades and au-
tomobile racing are popular. Mrs. o.
ii. z. Belmont, who is noted for the
originality of her entertainments, in
troduced the automobile parade at
Newport recently. Before the parade,
In which 10 vehicles, containing ladies
and gentlemen whose names are famil-
lar to society columns, passed down
Bellevue avenue, where they were
viewed in their flower decorated au-
tomobiles by thousands of admiring
spectators, they enjoyed a funny con
test on the grounds OF Mrs. Belmont's
residence, Belcourt.
Obstacles, such as dummy nurse
maids and carriages, pedestrians, wag,
ons and even stuffed horses, were placed
about the grounds. and the contestants
were required to pass these without
grazing them. 1t was a severe test.

Recognizing that the money question

We invite attention to the fact that the
Federal Constitution names silver and
gold together as the money metals of
The United States, and that the first
Collage law passed by Congress under
the Constitution made the silver dollar
the monetary unit and admitted gold
to tree coinage at a ratio based upon
the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1878, de-
mOnetlzing silver without the know
ledge or appfbyal OF the American peo-
pie, has resulted i'll the appreciation of
gold and a corresponding fall in the
prices of commodities produced by the
