enable the government to restore the
gold reserve and redeem the obliga,
tons of the United States. This issu-
ing of gold certificates puts me in
mind of a story | heard a gentleman
tell once. He said he was a stock
holder in a certain bank when there
was a run made on the bank, and by
the way the bank held quite a large
deposit. The officers were called to-
gether to consult on the matter, and
one of them suggested a big bluff by
piling money, both gold and paper, up
ON a table in view of all ~depositors that
came to draw u their money. One
of the stockholders, and he was the
one that proposed the bluff, had quite a
piece of money in his private box in
the shape of gold coin and paper
money, $3.50 900, and he agreed to put
it on the table with the banks cash on
hand, making something over $500, 900,
which made quite a showing, and 1t
had it's effect. The run IN the bank
stopped. I asked the aforesaid stock
holder, who said he stood by the table
while the run wac in progress. what
he would have done had the banks
cash run out and they had reached for
his cash. Why, he said, | would nave
just politely put it back in my box
and locked it up, and that is just what
the buncoers will do that have pur>
chased the gold certificates issued since
August 7, 1899, as they are the same
parties that were behind he throne
when Grover Cleveland sold the bonds
to replenish the gold reserve in 1894
and 1895. Does this look very favor
able for the adoption of the gold stand
ard by the American people? NO, out
it does look as If the Republican lead
ers have given up all hope of electing
the next president and are now trying
to place William J. Bryan in the same
position they placed Grover cleveland
in when he took charge of the presl-
Dental chair. They are off there. me
same people won't be behind the
throne under William J.. Bryan as hay
been for the past thirty-ive years,
ever since the assassination of the be-
lived Lincoln with the one exception,
the lamented Garfield, who was also
a~ssassinated by the same gang who
are now trying to fasten the gold
standard on the American people, the
great octopus of Wall street, New
York. and Threadneedle and Lombard
streets. London. England, where all the

GRAND OPERA HoUsE-Last half OF

row matinee ard night. The Hoyd. 1eA'
There is every element of success IN
"The Royal Box" in the hands OF sucn
stars as Andrew Robson n MISS
Coghlan. Seldom is pathos mingled
with comedy so consistently as In the
mart of Celia Pryce, as portrayed by
Miss Coghlan. "She is not acting" one
could almost believe; "she is the WIN
some stage-struck beauty OF real lie;
the matinee girl of the modern Il e
atre." And it is such deft touches as
this that link the old English comedy
element of the piece with the fn-de-
steele dramatization. AS truly as Shelly
was a, poet for poets, so is The Royal
Box" a play for players. The plot is
not deep, but breezy. From the Prince
of Wales set into the Bohemia OF an
actors life the audience is swiftly car
ried. and swiftly brought back again.
The Prince is as cynical and ch1val-
rous as history makes him, but not
nearly SO gross. Indeed, in the hands
of James w. Bankson, there is a Me-
phistophelian touch impaired to the
character which, on the whole, is rath-
er winning and catchy. He plays the
part as a man who knows the world
and is bound to get the most he can
out of it. "The Royal Box" will be
presented at the Opera House tonight.
Good things are always wecome, and
to judge from the reception accorded
Edward and Libbie Blondell in the
newest laughing sensation, "The Katz-
enjammer Kids they must be reck-
oned among the bright stars of the sea-

night, will undoubtedly inaugurate a
business such as we seldom see. The
past year has shown a decided fond
ness on the part OF the public for
farce-comedy, but the success of this
production has been extraordinary. In
all the principal cities the kids" have
been greeted by enormous audiences,
the recurrent echo of their vociferous
laughter emphasizing that the New
York Journals famous cartoons rela-
tive to the funny pranks of these med
dlesome kids" has not been exagger-
ated upon. The production is univer-
sally acknowledged the most pro-
nounced success of the year.

in letters made of foliage and fruits
were the words Harvest l900." Rev.
