We shall probably be compelled to
walt until after Mckinley has been re-
elected before we can hope to attain n
comprehensive measure OF currency re-
form. and Il would be unwise to oppose
the first steps merely because they donot
lead us all the way TO the goal. but we
should not deludc ourselves with the
idea that the currency question can be
settled by any such simple measures
as have been proposed In the report OF
Comptroller Dawes, which presumably
reflects the policy OF the administra-

by the caucus committee OF the House.

Mr.. Jack Wilson, professional bill.
HARDEST, at one time a resident of Hous-

about the great player:
Poor Frank Ives" said he. "He
was good fellow-a marvellous bill
heard from his manager in New York
that Frank could not live. 1t has not
been very long since he passed through
Atlanta en- route to Mexico. Some
time ago he cent me this cue and l can

Asked about his Impressions of Ives,
Mr.. Wilson said:
81 shall never forget the first time 1
saw Frank Ives. 1t WAS in the town of
Plainwell, Mich, his home. 1 went
over there in the early '80s-about 81,
think-to do some work for Peter
Brophy, who owned the billiard
saloon. It was just such q saloon as
you see in small towns in the west. I
remember a pump stood near the front
door where the patrons could 60 out
and get water, drinking from tin dip

"Peter said to me, We'll, Jack, old
boy, glad to see you. I've got a young
fellow here who plays a mighty fair
game OF pool and want you to try him
q few games.
At that time Mr.. Wilson was about
% years old and played a fine game of
pool. He went into the saloon and met
little Ives. He was lad of Is.
Brophy had taken fancy to the boy
because he showed so much interest in
billiards and pool and was glad to have
him around his place.
"He was q quiet boy" said Mr. Will
son. 'Re sat in big chair between
shots and didn't even grin. He watch
ed the game like a hawk. He wasn't
much taller than the table, but he was
a wonder for his age. l had much
more confidence in my game of pool in
those days than 1 have now.

games and he got five of them.''

The Band Concert.

Everything was favorable for the
band concert given in the park by the
McGinty band last night, and the
selections we're all well rendered. The
concert should have been given last
Friday night, but on account of rain
was postponed until last night. AS
the people are accustomed to Friday
as the regular night, the turnout was
not as great as usual.
The next concert will be given next
Monday night, instead of Friday of
this week, as several of the musicians
will be engaged in assisting in the
Mexican celebration.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FREE.

One of the Grandest Oners Ever Made.
The first five persons procuring the
Endless Chain Starch Book from their
grocer will each obtain one large 10c
package OF RED Cross" starch, one
large 10c package Of "Hubinger's Best"
starch, two Shakespeare pictures print
ed in twelve beautiful colors, as natur-
al as life, or one Twentieth Century
Girl calendar, the finest OF Its KIND
ever printed, all absolutely free. All
others procuring the Endless Chain
Starch Book will obtain from their
grocer two large 10c packages OF starch
for SC, and the beautiful premiums
which are being given away. This Of
fer Is only made for short time to
further introduce the famous RED
Cross" starch and the celebrated "Hu-
binger's Best" cold water starch. RED
Cross" laundry starch is something en-
tirely new, and is without doubt the
greatest invention Of the twentieth
century. 1t has no equal, and surpasses
all others. It has won for itself praise
from all parts of the United States. IL
has superseded everything heretofore
used, or known to science in the laun-
dry art. 1t is made from wheat, rice
and corn, and is chemically prepared
upon scientific principles by Mr.. j. g.
Hubinger, an expert in the laundry
profession, who has had twenty-five
years practical experience in fancy
laundering, and who is the first sue
cessful and original inventor Of all fne
grades Of starch in the United States.
If you would have the best, ask for
RED Cross" and "Hubinger's Best"
which are the finest starches on the
market today.
The jobbing houses all handle 1t, the
retail grocer has it on his shelves, you
find it in all the homes, while the care

the home with the beautiful Shakes
peare pictures which are being given
away in introducing "Red Cross" and

Tho Woman of Corea.

The Corean woman Is SO little es'
teemed that she has not even a name.
In childhood she has a nickname be-
slowed on her, by which she is known
to her family and intimate friends. but
after she arrives at maturity she lis
only called thus by her parents. To
the rest Of the world she Is simply
'the daughter" or "the sister" OF So
and-so. After marriage she Is abso-
lutely nameless; even her own parents
refer to her by the name OF the dis
trict in which she lives, and II she has
children, she is known as 1.-The mother
Of so-and-so. When 1t happens that
Corean woman has to appear in a
court Of law, the Judge chooses a name
by which she shall be called for the
time being, and thus confusion is les
sened and time is saved.

A Paris correspondent writes that an
elephant in the Jardin des Plantes has
recently been the subject of numerous
defamatory accusations. The animal
was accused of being a professional
thief. says the Boston Transcript. The
story went that several visitors to the
Jardin des Plantes, who stopped to
view the elephant, had been relieved of
their purses, and on each occasion boys
who were present affirmed that they
had seen the animal seize the purse
with its trunk and carry 1t to his
mouth. At last provincial stopped
in front of the elephant and lost his
purse. He made complaint and some
boys-the same boys, by the way-ac-
cused the elephant Of having taken it..
But the animals keeper, recognizing
the boys, became suspicious and had
them searched, with the result that
the missing purse was found. The cor
respondents imagination also infiu-
ences him to say that as soon as the
purse was discovered the elephant
showed his great joy by a vigorous
waving Of his trunk.

Tho Rat and tho seagull.

A rat was caught alive on board a
British naval vessel, in a trap, says
the London Field, and the animal was
thrown from the trap into the water
without being killed. A large gull
that was following in the wake OF the
ship to pick up scraps of food thrown
overheard by the steward swooped sew
eral times, endeavoring to pick the rat
up. Once the bird got too close to the
rats paws, and the beast grabbed II
by the neck. After short fight the
rat succeeded in killing the bird.
Whether the rat reached shore or not
Is question, since the ship soon
got out of sight of the skipper and Its
craft.

Historic Land Sold.

New York correspondent Pittsburg
Dispatch: A tract Of twenty-three ac-
res of historic land in Brooklyn bor-
ough was transferred by sale recently.
1t was part of an original grant from
King George III. to Peter De Bevoise,
who was a close friend Of Peter Stuy-
vesant, the sturdy governor Of New
York century and half ago. 1t has
been in the De Bevois family ever
since. But now comes the demand for
Brooklyn cottages, and away goes the
property into the hands Of a specula-
tive builder, Mr.. Donnelion, for a
consideration of $4,000. The value of
the holding can be estimated from the
fact that Mr.. Donnelion was offered
s115,OO for his purchase as soon as he
had completed it, and he declined.
When old King George gave it to the
original De Bevois you could probably
have bought the whole property for
$500.
