A RascaIIy Valet.

Won Bunsen told me that Humboldt
In his latter days was completely I'M
der the influence Of rascally valet
named Seiffert, and, to the disgust Of
his friends, bequeathed to him all his
effects, of little value, it is true, for the
old man left no property of any &C.
count. Even his private letters and
papers went to the wretch.
The king and the queen, said Won
Bunsen, were for years in the habit Of
sending Humboldt a present on his
birthday. At length it became diff
cult to know what would be acceptable
to the old man, whose wants were so
few and tastes so simple. 1t was their
habit to send an aid-de-camp to him q
few weeks before his birthday to as
certain, if he could, the sort of gift
likely to be most acceptable to him.
and whatever that might be. of course,
it was sent.
Shortly previous to one of these an
niversa,ies. and in reply to Il similar
inquiry. the royal couple got word that
the philosopher would be pleased to
receive a double bed. They wondered
what in the world could have put it
into Humboldt's head to ask for a
double bed. having probably never
slept in one in all his life and having
been habituated from childhood to the
least luxurious sleeping arrangements
imaginable.
The old man died, however, before
the expected birthday anniversary ar
rived. 1t then transpired that the
proyident valet had concluded it would
be nice thing for him and his wife to
have spick and span new bed with
the royal arms upon it, and had taken
advantage Of the kings regard for
Humboldt to try getting one at their
majestics' expense John Bigelow in

TO Labor Leaders and Editors Who Assail
the Legal Authorities.
Boise, Ida, Nov. 2S.-The state SUI
preme court yesterday denied the petit
ton of Paul Corcoran for a writ of
habeaS corpus. CorcOran was convicted
of murder in the second degree and
sentenced to seventeen years impriS-
Onment for murder committed by men,
bers of a mob, of which he was one,
who destroyed the Bunker Hill mill OH
April 10. In passing on the applica--
ton the court takes occasion to eX-
press it's opinion of those who have
asSailed the authorities of the state for
their actions in connection with the
suppression of the lawlessness in the
Occur d'Alenes.
1t says: ut seems to be one of the
methods of this organization, known
as the Miners union, whenever an at
tempt is made to bring them to ac-
count for their unlawful, barbarous
and murderous acts, to at once com
mence an attack upon the legally con-
stituted authorities " and by
their false clamOr seek to excite SYM
pathy for the malefactOrs; and such
action, by virtue Of the recognized
freedom of the press in this country, al
ways finds an echo and too frequent
Endorsement with that portion of the
press whose moral principles are gov
erned and controlled by what is for
their gain.
thousands of miles from the scene
of the transaction they assume to
judge and criticise. These leading jour
nails of civilization hesitate not, upon
no other authority than the lurid re-
ports Of their scoop-fiends based upon
the statements of known maIefactors
and their advocates and defenders, to
assail indiscriminately the legally con-
stituted authorities of a community
and state for their efforts to maintain
the law and protect persons and prop
erty within their jurisdiction"

Culprit Still at Large.
New York, Nov. 2S.-Hubert G. Tay-
Tor, lawyer, was appointed temporary
receiver for the defunct Franklin syndi-
cate bank yesterday by Justice Smith,
of the supreme court. The application
was made by William o. Inglis, who
stated that he held twelve shares in
the company. According to Inglis the
liabilities exceed 100000, the assets
being about $4,000 in cash in the hands
Of the police. Taylor was required to
furnish a bond of $4,000.
John n. Daley, the assignee. Sc
cured for the bank by William f. Mil
Ter before the latter left the city. called
at police headquarters yesterday and
made a demand on Captain Reynolds
for the $500 taken from the FLOYD
street house. The captain referred him
to Property Clerk Blotchford He
latter refused to turn the money over,
telling Daley that he would keep it in
his possession until ordered to turn it
over to him by the courts Daley in
all probability will apply for a manda-
mus today to compel the prop
erty clerk to give him the money.
The police officials have found no
trace of the missing man. Letters
poured in yesterday from all parts of
the country, written by persons who
said they had been deceived by litera-
ture that had been sent broadcast by
Miller and his employees.

NEW CURRENCY LAWS
To Be Proposed by the Republic
ans al Coming Congress
GOLD STANDARD is PROVIDED FOR

Greenbacks Are to BE Redeemed in Gold
and Then Not Reissued Except in Ex-
change for GoId-Maintenance of $780,
100000 Reserve in Gold to Be Made OBJ
ligatOry Instead of Discretionary, and
Changes in the National Bank Law.
Washington, Nov. 28.-The general
currency bill prepared by the Republl-
l1can caucus committee appointed by
the last congress has received it's final
revision at the hands of the members
and will be given to the press this
afternoon for publication tomorrow,
after a copy has been mailed to each
Republican representative in congress
The measure represents the unanimous
conclusions of the committee, and will
be called up for consideration at the
caucus of Republican members Of the
house which is to be held probably
next Saturday. Accompanying the bill
is a report setting forth at length the
reasons and necessity which in the
opinion of the committee exist for the
proposed legislation. The Evening Star
prints the following as some of the
chief features of the bill, and which in
the main are probably fairly accurate:
Gold Standard--Gr eenback Redemption.
can amendment to the coinage laws
making 25.625 grains Of gold 900 parts
fine, the standard coin measure.
can amendment to the greenback re-
issue act of 1873 providing that those
treasury notes shall be redeemed with
gold, and when so redeemed shall not
be reissued except in exchange for
gOrld This provision will prevent the
operation of the endless chain which
hitherto has been the means to raid
the gold reserve.
Gold Reserve-National Banks.
can amendment to the specie re-
sumption act directing the mainten-
ance of a gold reserve of not less than
S1OO,OOO,0O the maintenance of the
reserve at that figure now being entire
ly discretionary with the secretary Of
the treasury.
can amendment to the national bank
law authorizing banks to be organized
with a capital stock of $4,000 At
present the minimum is $4,000. Another
amendment to the same act authorize
ing banks to issue notes to the par
value of the bonds they have on de-
post to secure circulation. At present
the limit is 80 per cent. A third
amendment to this act reduces the tax
alton on bank circulation to One-tenth
of 1 per cent. This tax is to pay the
expense of engraving and printing
the notes. The present rate more than
meets this expense"

this enlightened age and Christian
land the public school teacher ought
not to be deprived of reading, without
written or oral comment, the Bible, or

Mr.. Milne opened by referring to the
first Thanksgiving by the Pilgrim
fathers, and said that the lesson of
the lives of those brave Puritans was
one that should be remembered with
gratitude on Thanksgiving. The ma
te1ial blessings of life were referred
to as superficial causes of thankful
ness. '"There is truer, a profounder
lview," said the speaker. 1T is often
said that while prosperity is the bless
ing of the old testament, adversely is
the blessing of the new. 1t is true but
it is not the whole truth. The whole
truth is expressed in the saying Of
Paul we know that all things work
together for good to them that love
Cod Prosperity and adversely are
both blessings Of the new testament
| '"The past year has been one of gen.
eral prosperity. Out of the seventies
and sacrifices of hard times the great
majority of people have passed into
the comparative ease and abundance
| of good times. In general people are
happier and are in better circum-
stances than for some time.
"Rich men are eager to he richer.
Many monopolies and combinations
seem to be planning to get ont of the
public all that the public viii bear.
In the present prosperity human sell
|fishness and greed are preparing the
way for something else.
Il speak of these things in order that
we may find a common ground on
which all may meet. We come to the
Thanksgiving service out of our va
rious experiences, and therefore with
many needs and different grounds of
gratitude. Our thought of Gods love
for us needs to be very broad and
deep. Our supreme reason for thank
fulness is that Gods love is sufficient
for all our needs.
I'VE have abundant reason for
Thanksgiving. Behind all blessings is
God, and we thank him for the plenty
that smiles in every field and in every
home. We thank him for the new
hope that has come to our own city,
for. the blessing that has come to a
sister church in the splendid lifting

scriptures were read by Rev. A. G.
