A Bcneficent Honeymoon.

One of the prospective brides that
June viii marry, living in the east,
has planned her wedding with the end
in view of making people happy and
comfortable. She is wealthy enough
to have it as splendid and magnificent
as money and fashion could make it,
but chooses instead a large home we'd
ding with plenty of friends and flow
ers, without gifts, and as simple as
muslin gown and lack of ceremony can
make it. An informal reception with
dancing will follow the service, after
which bride and groom will depart for
their own home in the country, close
to the university in which the future
husband is employed as a professor.
There in the little college town, with
the money that an impressive and elab-
crate wedding reception would have
cost, the bride will erect home for
young women students in the college
who are too poor to provide suitable
quarters for themselves. In summer it
will be turned into a home for strug-
Cling artists and music students. So
one couple, at least, start out with the
idea of letting others less fortunate
share their happiness.

Havana, June s.--Director of Post,

are about 300 persons in all who are
using the frank for personal communi-
cation and those of friends The let
ters Of alcaldcs and police captains In
the various villages are sent under
franks in envelopes enclosing franked
envelopes for replies. The postmasters
have been ordered to keep a strict rec
ord of the frankcd mail handled for Il
week and to estimate the revenue lost
in this way. Many parties have been
arrested in Natan2aS for refusing
stamps, and among them are several
prominent merchants.

pointing Gonzales Quesada special COM

BRYANITES SILENCED.

yerites.

If the Bryanites succeed in forcing
The old issues into the platform of 1900
their campaign will present a greater
array of absurdities than it did in 1896,
because of the changed condition in the
currency situation. While it is true
that a double standard of measure is
no more of an absurditv now than it
was in 1896, it is fact that nature and
the laws of business and of supply and
demand have knocked out about all the
arguments that were employed by the
silverites in defense of their position
in the last campaign.
While silver and wheat parted COM
pany long ago, the Bryanites are now
confronted by currency condition
that sweeps the last prop from under
their fallacious arguments. 1t was the
cardinal contention of the silvCrites in
1896 that there was not enough gold in
the country to supply the demands of
circulating medium, and that what
little there was had been carefully cor
nered by the capitalists and moneyed
! classes. Mr.. Harvey, it will be rcmem-
bered, succeeded by means of cleyerly
constructed diagrams on paper in put
ting all the gold in the world in very
small room, while Mr.. Bryan persist
entity narrowed up the feelings of his
auditors by allusions TO the dear dol
lar"
But if the dear dollar" was in hiding
in 1896, it has come forth in such abunG-
ance in 1899 as TO gIut all the channels
! of industrial and commercial exchange.
There is, in fact, such tremendous
volume of gold now in circulation that
the business world is already clamoring
for relief from the yellow coins as a
medium of exchange
The source of this immense tide Of
gold money with which the country is
now flooded may be found in the in
creased output OF the gold mines of this
| continent, the gold payments to this
country from foreign trade balances in
our favor and the general rcyiving of
| trading activity all over the country.
| The trade of the country has. in fact.
| become so large that the small bills
have not been sufficient to meet the
requirements of exchange. and the busi-
| ness and banking interests have been
compelled TO fall back upon gold. The
yellow metal has come forward to fill
up the breach in the circulating
medium caused by an unprecedented
revival of business prosperity.
The country, in fact, is surfcited with
gold. a new financial situation has not
only come to the front which will de
| mand the attention of the next con-
gress, but the influx of gold currency
is completely obliterating the faIlacics
of the double standard party and must
fix the country for all time upon a per-
manent gold standard Chicago

while others add only a fraction OF the

Not a little perpleXity is being caused
in social circles in Washington by the
custom inaugurated by a certain set of
introducing people. 1t is claimed by
the originators of this custom, writes
a Washington correspondent Of the
hicago Record, that people in society
ought to be acquainted and therefore
an introduction is an implication that
the parties to it do not belong to the
leading social circles. The hostesses
who have adopted this custom have,
however, brought no end of trouble
upon themselves. Recently newly
rich woman was endeavoring to enter
tain seven women in her drawing-room.
Not one Of the seven happened to know
any Of the others. The call was any
thing but satisfactory, and now these
seven women all pass the newly-rich
woman by on the street without so
much as a nod. Yet she is confident
that her theory is right, although it
may not be applicable to the curious
social fabric Of Washington, where peo-
pie appear and disappear with start
ling rapidity.

Paine. Murphy e Co.'S Grain Letter

by Private Wire to Paine. Murphy & Co.
 Birmingham, February 2O-Our market has ruled higher today on covering of shorts and better foreign advices than ex- pected and on light Russian shipments. The amount on passage decreased 56oOO0 bushels. There seemed to be fair cash demand, and St. Louis in particular was strong. Western reports were considered unfavorable and new receipts much lighter than generally anticipated; so. that all things considered, the bulls had all the am- intuition. We prefer the short side, how ever, on all bulges. Coarse grains are weak and receipts are heavy and will grow. Provisions weak on Iiquidating sales.

Paine. Murphy 0 Co..s Stock Letter

By Private Wire to Paine. Murphy & Go.
 Birmingham, February 20.-There was a further sensational rise in American To- bacco today, and the movement in that stock was repeated under similar market conditions, though in less degree, in Sugar Refining and Manhattan and Rock Island there was actually nothing new in regard to any of these stocks Most of the railway returns reported for periods later than the first of the month reflected very clearly the traffic Interruption consequent on the great storm Considering the extent of some of the early advances, the market re- tafned its strong tone remarkably well throughout the day. The trading at the close was exceedingly active, and while some stocks showed recessions, natural after their rapid advances, others closed at the best prices of the day London was seller in considerable volume. The best street opinion is that Sugar will sell at 15O. Burlington after fair dip up, at 20, while Rock Island is slated for 130.
