the free silver falsehood down
the throat of the Kansas City
convention, points to path

This pathway the Globe re-

support the candidates of a
convention which seeks thru
cowardly evasion to win the

The party stands committed to

A CRIME REPEATED.

In an editorial under the cap
ton "A Crime Repeated" the
st. Paul Globe, the organ of the
Democratic party in Minnesota,
condemns the Kansas city plat.
form and places itself in open
opposition to Bryan and free
silver. This leaves Minnesota
without an organ, worthy of
the name, in the state. The
Globe editorial is in part as
follows:
-Four years ago under con-
ditions substantially identical
with those now in existance,
the Globe refused to extend it's
advocacy to what it then re-
guarded as a false and pernic-
ious economic principle. A
national convention of its par
ty had adopted that principle
and embodied it in it's national
platform and with it as the
chief claim of the party to the
consideration of the voting
population sought popular sus-
tainment. The defeat which
ensued was so decisive as to
convince all but a few radical
and irresponsible party adher-
ents that the free coinage of
silver at a ratio of Is to could
never receive the Endorsement
of the American people.
"A lapse of four years finds
the Democracy of the country
confronted by the same peril
which proved it's undoing in
1896. How does it meet the
emergency? By once more
embracing the danger and
adopting the folly and false
hood under the burden Of which
it had been brought to the bor-
ders of ruin in it's last national
campaign.
THE Globe stands today
where it stood four years ago.
It is now, as it was then, OPP
posed to the free coinage idea.
1t gave expression to it's oppo-
sition then: right principle and
fair dealing with it's party asso-
ciates and with the country de-
mand that it give expression to
it now. There is less, if posi-
BILE, to justify compromise or
condonement now than there
was then. The party went
blindly to it's fate then; it goes
now open-eyed, and because of
its domination by one man.
"A body claiming to be de-
Lucrative in character which
will submit, without protest, to
coercion into the pursuit of a
policy which has already pro-
ven fatal, and which is openly

FISH SKIN LEATHER.

The United States Fish Com
mission has been making a
collection of feathers made
from the skins of fish and 9TH
er aquatic animals, especially
of those which promise to be of
practical utility. Several vari-
cites Of fishes have skins that
make an excellent leather for
some purposes. Salmon hide,
for example, serves so well in
this way that the Esquimaux
of Alaska make waterproof
shirts and boots out of it.
They also cut jackets out of
Goldfish skins, which are said
to be very serviceable gar
ments. In the United States,
frog skins are coming into use
for the mounting of books,
where an exceptionally deli
cate material for fine binding
is required. There are certain
tribes of savages who make
breastplates out of garfish
skins, which will turn knife
or spear. A bullet will pierce
this breastplate, but it is said
to be impossible to chop
through the material with
Ratchet at one blow. Togeth-
er with such a breastplate, these
savages wear a helmet of the
skin of the porcupine fish,
which is covered with formid-
able spines. Fastened upon
the hand, this helmet serves
not only as a protection, but in
close encounters it is used to
butt with.
The Glouchester Isinglass &
Glue Company recently mana
featured some shoes of the
skins of the Goldfish and cusk.
On the lower Yukon, in Alas
ka, overalls of tanned fish
skins are commonly worn by
the natives. Whip handles are
| made of shark skins. and in
strument cases are commonly
covered with the same mater
ial, it being known under the
name of shagreen. Whale
skins are said to make admira-
bic. leather for some purposes,
while porpoise leather is con-
sidered very superior mater
ial for razor strops. atleather
dyed in a number of different
colors is included in the collec-
ton of the fish commission.
This leather is obtained from
the hair seal, and not from the
fur bearing species, and is used
to a considerable extent in the
manufacture of pocketbooks.
, The hair seals are still very
plentiful in the North Atlantic
ocean. As it is not difficult to
kill them they afford a very
promising source of leather
supply. Wolrus leather has
come into the market recently,
but az the animals are being
exterminated rapidly it will
hardly amount to much com
mercially. Another kind 81

To Wed His Adopted Mother.

New York special to Chicago Trib- une: The Rev. Frederick c. Mooney. pastor of the First Methodist Episco- pal church of Railway, N. j., is about to take a step that threatens to tangle up the vital statistics bureau of that town. He is going to marry his adopt ed mother, she being g years old and he 34. The bride-to-be is the widow of the late Prof. Whitney of Drew Theological seminary. Mooney, when adopted by the Whitneys, retained his name. The people of the First Metho- dist Episcopal church of Railway do not know just what to think of the step the young minister is taking. If children are born Mrs. Mooney will be both grandmother and mother of her own offspring. Mooney being the brother of his own children, for in- stance, and the husband of his grand mother, he must be his own grand- father.

How the English Private Disposes of
 His Belonging.
 How does the soldier killed in bat tie or fatally wounded, dispose of his Sroperty, providing he has any to leave behind him? The list of casual ties reported regularly from South Af- rica and the Philippines lend perti hence to the inquiry. Every English soldier has served out to him when he enlists a little volume which contains, among other things, three blank forms of will which he is at liberty to fill cases, however, he pays no attention to this poeketbook and goes into bat tie with his will still unmade After he has been hit by a bullet and begins to realize that his chances of getting home are small, the soldier begins to think more carefully of the loved ones left behind him and of the provisions he has made for their comfort. As a result many queer and pathetic wills have been found upon the bodies of dead soldiers, and in every case the wishes of the testator have been re- spected. During the Soudan campaign of 1884 the body of one soldier was found on the battlefield of Fl Feb, who, before death had serawled with the end of lead bullet on the inside of his helmet, the words All to my wife" When an English army inyad- T I,It while doing some scout duty and shot down when one of his comrades were Tn sight. Weeks afterward his body was found lying before tall rock on which he had written in letters of blood, 'I want all to go to mother. ' In both cases the war department held the wills to be valid, and aw that the proper distribution of the property was made.

M'kINLEYS FIRST LAW CASE.

a statement was made by Mrs. Nc
Kinley early in her married life, and
that she always chung to this belief
and repeatedly declared 1t to. friends.
Another important event in the life
of Mckinley that caused him to delay
the case of Rostetter and Sheets was
his canvas for prosecuting attorney
of Stark county. He was nominated,
as we'll known, partly as a joke, for
the county had been strongly demo
cratic. The opposing candidate was
William A. Lynch. Mckinley, prob
ably inspired with the idea of distin-
gushing himself in the eyes of his
prospective bride, turned out and
made such a vigorous campaign that
he won, and when the ballots were
counted in the fall Of 1869 he was
elected prosecuting attorney.
Here is another strange thing clus-
tering about this period of McKinley's
experience. The opposing counsel in
the Rostetter-Sheets case was also this
same William A. Lynch. Mckinley
won the election and his bride; Lynch
won the law case. Two years later
