The Supreme Issue of 1900.

The silver issue has only been en-
phasized by the proceedings at Kansas
City.
The supreme issue of the campaign
of 1896 Is to be the supreme issue of
the campaign of 1900-the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 TO l, "without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation"
1t is again to be square fight be-
tween gold and silver.
The only question that has excited
the least debate or provoked the
slightest enthusiasm at Kansas City is
free silver. All efforts to smother it or
to evade it have been in vain. The de-
mand for it has asserted itself as the
dominant Democratic passion.
On the other hand, "anti-imperial-
ism" was only logged to Kansas City
and showed to the front by main force.
1t was recognized there as it is recog-
nized everywhere else as pure humbug.
Only 16 to l is genuine distinctive
Democratic issue.-New York Sun.

MAKING 500 A MINUTE.
The Large Sum Earned by the Prima
Donna Mime. Nordica In New
York Recently.

The largest sum for the briefest
service recently received by the most
literally paid of all professionals, the
prima donna, was given Nine. Nor
dica on the occasion of her appear
ance in a concert at the Metropolitan
opera house, New York, several weeks
ago, says the Saturday Evening Post.
For two songs which required five
minutes each to sing she received
81 900, or at the rate of 500 a minute.
The songs were Grieg's Swan and a
serenade by Richard Strauss. The &C.
casion was the first American appear
ance of Herr Won Schuch, conductor
of the Royal opera, Dresden.
Nine. Nordica, among the soloists
originally announced, was taken sud-
denly i'll during a performance of
Christian und Isolde" at the Metro
rolitan the Saturday previous to the
concert. With her customary pluck
she finished her performance, but
was obliged to take to bed as soon as
it was ended. There she was forced
to remain until the next Thursday,
when it was time to dress for the con-
cert. She appeared at the Metropoli-
tan on time, sang her two songs and
was persistently recalled for an en-
core.
Her strength not being equal to a
response she bowed her appreciation
and finally took Nine. PATHS method
of positive refusal by returning to the
stage with her carriage cloak about
her shoulders.
Once home she found no alternative
but to return to the bed she had left
to sing. But in the short time of her
absence, in addition to keeping faith
with the public and adding to the
brilliance of the concert, she had re-
ceived $1,000 for ten minutes actual
work. For her first concert engage
ment, Nine. Nordica, then a girl of
IS, received ten dollars. Now in the
zenith of her powers the largest sum
received by Nine. Nordica for single
concert was $1,700. This latest
achievement of $1,000 for ten minutes
eclipses even that.

PROTECTING SONG BIRDS.
MensuresLnteIy Adopted by the swins
Government for This
Purpose.

Switzerland has not many feath-
cred songsters," says James T. Dubois,
consul at st. Gall, according to the New
York Tribune, "but those that do ex-
list are carefully protected, not only
by law, but by the fostering care OF
the people, particularly the German
speaking people, of Switzerland. In
1878 law was enacted prohibiting the
trapping or killing Of song birds, or
the robbing or molesting of their nests,
In any part of the Alpine republic. But
In northern Italy bird murder is cpl.
demic, and this spirit has spread over
the Swiss-Italian canton of Tessin,
where the willow wren, hedge sparrow,
blackcap, swallow, nightingale and lit
tie singers of all kinds are victims Of
the trap, the net and the gun.
"As the seasons come and 90 the
the Swiss birds make their pilgrimage
South, and in going and returning
across the land Of northern Italy and
the Swiss canton of Tessin they are
mercilessly pursued by hunters of all
ages and all classes. On the Lago Mag
giore it is estimated that at least co.
600 of the feathered songsters are
trapped or killed every year, and in the
region around Bergamo, Verona, Chi
avena and Brescia many millions are
unfortunately slaughtered to salts
fly the demand of the tables and of the
millinery establishments of the world.
Zone of the schemes is to cover the
limbs of trees and the rocks, and even
the telegraph wires, along the line Of
the bird migrations with a certain
paste of such adhesive qualities that
whenever the birds stop in their fight
for rest or food they are held helpless
captives. Hundreds are often captured
In a very small space by this simple
means.
During the last year the border po-
lice OF Tessin captured and destroyed
$4,000 bird traps set to imprison these
weary little flyers. Authorities are be-
ing urged to take the most rigorous
measures to suppress the evil. The
criminal courts are having many more
bird lay violation cases than former
ly, and bird catching and killing crimes
which in former years were either
overlooked or punished only slightly
are now enforced, and the song birds
OF Switzerland may yet survive the at
tempt to eUterminate them"

ROGERS KEPT HIS WORD.
4 Promise Made When Boy Was
Faithfully Fulfilled in Aft
er Years.

Fairhaven, Mass, has guardian an
gel in the person of Henry Rogers, one
! of the Standard Oil magnates, says the
Chicago Chronicle. 1t was there he was
born and there as boy he earned his
first money carrying newspapers. To-
day Fairhaven boasts of a library and q
town hall-gifts outright from him
and on the principal street stands an
ideal building, the Rogers school.
This structure Is the fulfllment Of
pledge made years ago, when Mr..
Rogers was a small, serious-minded
boy, who delighted to sit in the COM
pany of older people. 1t was in the gro
Gerry store one day that he ventured to
remark that he thought Fairhaven
ought to have a new school.
To those who listened a new school
meant increased taxes.
"Wall," drolled out the spokesman,
81 think so too; why don't you build
one? You might save up for starter"
There was a chorus of shaw, haws"
as the small boy slid off the top Of the
barrel to the floor and then drew him
self up red and Burning. "I'll do It,"
he said, "and I'll give some of you peo-
pie the chance to put the furniture IN it
when It's finished"
The episode ended there. The boy
grew, went to Pennsylvania and thence
to Brooklyn. One day 1t was announced
that Mr.. Rogers was going to build
school In Fa1rhaven. When 1t was fin
ished he went back. On the main street
he met the scoffer of his boyhood.
'I'm waiting for that furniture" he
said.
The man laughed sheepishly, but
said nothing.
"Never mind" Mr. Rogers went on,
u guess I'll put 1t in myself, but want
you to be on hand to see that I have
kept my word"

MORE ABOUT CLUBS.


Blssphemous or impious clubs were
instituted in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries for the purpose OF
ridculing religion. They were frater-
mites of free-living and free-thinking
gentlemen, popularity recognized then,
and remembered rather as "Hell.tire
Cubs" Centering in London, they had
affiliated branches in Edinburgh and at
Dublin. Grewsome nick nance, az
Pluto, the Cd Dragon, Lady Gomorrah
(tor there were female members, too),
prevailed among them. Their toasts
were blasphemous beyond modern be-
lief. The whole end and aim of these
misguided persons was to express their
contempt for all things sacred. Sui
phurous flames and fumes were raised
al these meetings to give them literal
resemblance 10 the internal regions.
Strange stories came into circulation
regarding them. 1t was said that now
and then distinguished member
would die Immediately after drinking
an unusually horrid toast.
There was "Hell Fire" club among
the British officers in India, during a
time of great mortality. At their meet
ings the principal toast was, "Here's to
the next that diesi'.
According to q local tradition there
was "Hell Fire" club at Greenfield
Hill, Conn. AT one of their meetings
mock sacrament Ohe Holy Commun-
ion) was celebrated. And the tradi-
ton further declares that all who took
part in it died within the yearl

The Mohocks, (MohawksO were
club of Queen Anue's time. 1t was
organized by some dissolute young
men for the avowed purpose of COM
hitting all sorts of excuses in the pub
lie streets, and alike attacking orderly
pedestrians and even defenceless wo-
men. After drinking themselves to
pitch beyond reason or humanity they
sailed out and attacked all who were
in the streets. Some were knocked

wounds?

Where from Snow Hill black sleepy tor
rents run;
How matrons, hoped within the hogs

Were tumbled furious thence; the rolling

Der the stones thunders, bounds from side
to side;-
So Regulus, to save his country, died."

A singular class of plants is the cir
plant, or parasites, which do not
grow with their roots in the ground
or the mud, but attach themselves to
trees or other plants and feed on
stoien sap. Fungi and lichens, which
you see growing on the bark of trees
or on old wood are parasites. The
mistletoe is one of our prettiest para
sites, and our Spanish moss one of the
