The Carson Appeal, in noticing
the presence of Colonel Jack Chinn,
the Kentucky horseman, tells this
funny story: He was once asked
to take the stump in a district
where there were good many COL
ored agriculturists. He was told
that his talks were entertaining the
people, but his failure to touch on
the financial question was being
adversely commented on.
Chinn said that he was not posted
very we'll on national finance and
the committee told him be had
shelter get posted very quick. "
That night while talking, tall
negro rose and said:
This is all very we'll, Massa
Chinn, but what we want to hear is
something on de financial issues. +"
The orator was equal to the emer-
gency:
That's easy enough. I'll explain.
The Jews have all the money in
the world, haven't they, and the
Irish all the Offices, and this being
the situation, we niggers and white
folks ought to stand together in
this campaign and see if we can't
get slice of something ourselves. -
: The roar of applause that shook
the house demonstrated that Chinn
bad lit on his feet again.

Suicide OF MISS sCHLEY.
Rela&ivA Of the Admiral Shoots Herself
While Insane.

Relasivn Of the Admiral Shoots Herself
While Insane.
Miss Anna Mary Hoeke Schley,
25 years old, daughter of the late
Colonel Louis Schley, poet, lawyer
and veteran Of two wars and second
cousin of Rear Admiral Schley,
committed suicide January 10Th at
her home in Baltimore.
Since the death of her father, to
whom she was much attached, just
a month ago, Miss Schley had been
inconsolable. A week since her
mental condition became alarming
to her friends and attendants were
almost constantly at her bedside
This afternoon her sister, who had
been chatting with her, went below
stairs for few moments and when
she returned found Miss Schley
lying on her bed with bullet hole
in her left breast. She had shot
herself through the heart with one
of her fathers revolvers. Two let.
tiers which she had written to friends
indicated that she was laboring un.
der the hallucination that she and
her family were being pursued by
some phantom.

Definition Of P0lyEamy.

Rees Davis, the irrepressible edi-
tor Of the Caldwell Tribune, thus
defines polygamy:
According to the inspired books
of the Mormon church polygamy
Is divine sacrament and those
who partake of it shall attain the
highest exaltation. According to
the laws of every state in the Union,
polygamy is a crime and those who
commit it are liable to enter the
penitentiary. According to the
Mormon law, a man with but a sim
gle wife is lacking in essential
qualifications and excluded from
the holy Of holies. According to
the civil law, the man with more
than a single wife is redundant in
essential qualifications and ex-
cluded from the higher privileges
Of citizenship.
That's correct, Mr.. Davis, you
are better on definitions than old
Noah Webster.

The Famous Molly Pitcher.

Leslie's Weekly: The resolution
introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives by General Wheeler for
the presentation by the President
of medal to Helen Gould is a fit-
ting recognition of the work of a
thoughtful and patriotic woman.
The distinction proposed to be con-
fsrred is unique in its way. Con-
gress has never thus far rendered
any such honor to any woman.
The nearest precedent for this case
is that of Captain Molly, who fig
ures in some of the chronicles ae
MOL Pitcher" She rendered gal
liant service as a soldier in the Rev
olution, firing the last shot from
her husbands cannon at Fort Gin
ton, in October 1777, just before ite
capture by the British, after hes
husband and every other man had
evacuated the fort. She took her
husbands place at bis cannon after
he was killed at Monmouth, on
June %. ITS, and fought through.
out the battle. For her services
Washington made her a sergeant
but the honor accorded her did moi
stop there. On Washington's rec.
ommendation the Continental Con.
gress put her on the list Of half nav
officers, and her compensation wal
continued through her life.

New York Dispatch.]
Miss Minnie Fell is one OF the
most exclusive debutantes of the
austerely exclusive set Of prim
Philadelphia this season. She is .
cousin Of the Drexel brothers, and
connected by family ties with al
most everyone of note in the me-
tropolis of Pennsylvania. But Miss
Fell is not only society girl, but
an athlete as we'll. and if she makes
as good a run for the honors of
belledom as she made last week in
the athletic world she ought to be
leader by the time the Lenten
bells ring. All her friends around
town are congratulating her on her
courage and presence of mind when
she recently captured burglar IN
broad daylight on Broad street.
She and Miss Pauline Biddle had
Just left the box Office of theater,
where they had been purchasing
tickets, when a burly negro grabbed
Miss Fell's pocketbook and Was of
with a rush. But Miss Fell was a
''rusher" too. She pursued him
down Broad street to SAMSON and
around the corners, until at Twelfth
and Walnut she overhauled him,
and, grabbing his coatails, hung on
and screamed until policeman
came to her assistance. Owing to
her desire not to have the affair
made public she did not appear
against the footpad, who only got
ninety days in consequence; but
such an escapade as that was bound
to come out, and now all the town
is talking about it.

His Superb Climax.

One of the ablest of the Irish
members in the house of commons
was once delivering speech against
the rapacity of the Irish landlords.
This is the way he reached his
climax:
II believe, Mr.. Speaker, if one Of
those fellows owned land in the
heart of Africa, he wouldn't be there
a week before he would have his
hands in the pockets of the naked
savages."

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1900.
Bryan and Mckinley Will Again Be
Opposing Leaders
Issues WIN h FRYE silver, the Tariff and
Questions Arising Out Of the
W9r with spain.

A late New York dispatch says ):
The nominating conventions which
are to name the candidates of the
great political parties for the presi-
dency are q year off in point Of
time, but the New York Herald has
brought them right up to date by a
most thorough canvass of party
leaders.
The men who will influence the
choice Of the delegates sent to the
nominating conventions are the ma
tional committeeman and tho chair
man of the state committees of the
several parties. They will he active
in the primaries. Their selections
made after careful consultation
with the head men of their localities
will carry the weight necessary
to achieve results.
These men have been interviewed
by the Herald's correspondents.
Questions have been put to them
concerning the campaign of 1900:
They have been asked to ascertain
the choice of their people for the
next president. They have been
requested to gather the ideas of the
voters they represent and name the
issues of the next national struggle.
They have been Intercepted as to
choice of cities for holding the
conventions.
They have answered. They have
gone among their constituencies
and discovered the sentiment. In
this way the entire country has
been canvassed. From the infor-
nation thus cleaned the following
epitome stands out:
William Mckinley is the over
whelming choice of the republican
party for the next presidential
nomination.
William j. Bryan is almost with
out a rival as the democratic candi-
date for the presidency.
The republicans will make the
issue upon the financial question,
the tariff and the questions arising
out of the war with Spain.
The democrats will force the free
coinage of silver to the front as the
paramount issue.
The members Of the silver re-
publican party will cooperate viii.
the democrats in securing the non
ination of William ]. Bryan.
The gold democrats, or members
of the national democracy, are in
active and give little indication Of
an aggressive stand.
The populists will not give their
entire support to their nominees,
Barker and Donnelly.
Chicago is the favored city for
the holding of national conventions

More Poisoned Candy.

A box of poisoned candy was sent
through the mails as New Years
gift to a young girl in New York
city. After eating one chocolate
drop the girl went into spasms and
for twenty-four hours suffered ex-
cruciating agony, but her life was
saved. An analysis showed the can
DIV to be impregnated with arsenic.

Colonel Jones Resigned.

A special from Pocatello to the
Boise Statesman says: "a letter
from a member of company G, re-
cruited in this city, states that Col.
Jones of the Idaho volunteers has
resigned and that he will be home
probably on the next boat. As the
writer put it, "he has to come now
or come home in a box when he
does come. He said in effect that
the colonel had not seen a we'll day
since they landed at Manila"

SILVER CAUSE WILL TRIUMPH
Bryan Declares the Issue Is Very
Much Alive.
Silver Leader Given an Enthusiastic Re
eept10n at Denver.

A dispatch from Denver January
18th says: Col. William j. Bryan
declared in a brief speech which he
made at the public reception given
to him by the BimetalIic League Of
this city, that the silver issue is
still very much alive. He said:
1.-THE cause lives, because it en-
bodies the hopes, the aspirations
and the belief Of our people. 1t is
a strong cause because the people
need silver. American people favor
bimetallism, never mind where the
silver is produced. We do not need
it because it is produced here. Peo-
pie eat because they need it, not
because food has to be consumed.
And so with gold and silver. They
are important in the worlds COM
MERGE because they are needed and
you can never destroy silver while
it is needed.
"The farmer, the creator of wealth,
knows that the gold standard low
ers prices without raising money.
And if the gold standard should
once be established, you may set it
down that the date of bankruptcy
is not far ahead. To restore bimet-
allism is to restore the parity be-
tween money and property.
"Those who advocate the gold
standard, as a rule, know that the
gold dollar is not stable nor honest.
The strength of the gold standard
is to be found in the money centefs
and its strongest advocates are
those who, when their dollar is in
vested, want it to go up. Every
goldbug denies this, however, and
it IS this denial that gives me an
evidence of his insincerity.
"If our cause is just, and firmly
believe it is, its triumph is sure.
Truth cannot be crushed to earth.
The hour of death is not here"

A report from Clinch county, Ga,
shows that the negroes there are
becoming Independent, so far as in
toxicating beverages are concerned.
Sweet potatoes are cooked about
half done and then mashed up and
allow ed to ferment. A very strong
drink is said to be made in this
way, and the negroes get on very
satisfactory DRINKS whenever they
want to do so on this potato wine.

tie Is enormous. The statement Is made
that the prices of all cattle will be highs
or next year than they are now, but
that in three years, when all the thou
sands Of feeders find their way into the
market, there is likely to be a slump in
the price from to cents. This year
Kansas has 10000 head Of cattle, which
is a record-breaker for the state. The
big ranches in Montana, Wyoming and
North and South Dakota are sending in
few cattle at present. Most benefited
by the Increase in prices Is the stock
raiser. At present everything costs more
alive than formerly, making 1t necessary
for the packers to advance the prices on
ali dressed meats. The prices quoted yes
terday to local butchers were Sc a pound
for best straight beef in the whole car
cass, and 14R cents a pound for loins
and ribs In even sets. One lot OF sixty
barrels Of the latter was sold at 151k cents
per pound. All other meats have been
more or less affected. Prices have gone
up In pork, mutton, veal and smoked
meats"
