of the world, is very large. and contin' uaIly increasing The big bankers of the world are hoping to push gold into use where 1t is not employed at. present for currency purposes. Already they predict a glut of gold in the older civilized coun- tries, and a consequent fall in Its val ues. Their purpose Is to spread the daily use of gold, and they do not intend to give their aid to extending the employ ment of the white meta1. They have held their court and condemned 1t to perpet- ual employment as subsidiary money, to be the pale drudge 'twixt man and man in the minor business transactions of life. The partisans of the gold standard recog- nize the lack of metallic money in Asia, Africa and South America, but they mean to fill the void with the yellow metal
 This is the situation in a very few words: An immense oversupply of new gold, no marked increase in the use of gold in the arts, and a determination on the part of the big banks, private bank CTS. great capitalists, and captains of in- dustry. to push gold into more general use. They must do tlsis to maintain the level of their fortunes; they otherwise would experience a tremendous total shrinkage in their wealth. The gold glut Is upon them, and they fully recognize 1t. Thus, silver is in evil case; has no power full friends in Europe or New York. and is regarded as menial money metal.

 Such blunders are quite excusable as tong as Africa is comparatively little known, put some people continue to perpetrate them when they should know better. A school geoerapny used in Switzerland contained this statement a while ago, and perhaps 1t does yet;

How a Locally Troublesome question

 For A. dozen years we have been hear ing monetary experts and the bankers say. every time silver has dropped and the gold premium has risen, that the causes are merely transient" and, sometimes, that the whole matter is purely local" But, just the same, we have all seen that, while silver has oc- casionally recovered a few points, the general tendency. year by year. has been downward Sixteen years ago New York exchange stood here at IT per cent pre- mium, Importers grumbled even then. Today 1t is lowering around 2S-SO, and we all take it more or less philosophically. Tropical agriculturists regard the gold premium as neaven-sent, for 1t consu- tutes for them a magnificent bounty on everything they can export and so they get the benefit of the premium. At home in Mexico they pay their taxes, wages of their working people, etc., In silver and they rub their hands gleetully. Manufacturers regard the gold premium as so much additional protection to home industries. Where they have to buy raw material abroad they feel the rise in ex- change, but they find, on the whole proft and also an assurance or Tree

 Rut the depreciation of silver bears hard on the government, with it's gold in- terest to meet abroad; on the railway comnanies which pay gold interest on their bonds, and meet big bills for sup niles and equipment, etc., bought in the 1 limited States or Europe. Importers com plain justly that when money grows plentiful here they find themselves con- | fronted by high exchange.

MUSIC HAD CHARMS FOR HIM.
But, Alas, It Led to His Death and
 Besides, Marred His Funeral.

S@@S
 New York Tribune.
 The solemn exercises at the funeral of MT. Black a wealthy Brooklynite, last week were married by most untoward occurrence. He was a man of rads, nut the one consuming fad of his existence was for musical instruments-not the or dinary piano and organ, but mechanical devices whereby harmonies were sounded by unseen forces. For instance, as one entered the house some secret connection with the door started the hattering stralhs of Hail to the Chief, to the accompan- iment of which the astonished guest was
 ushered into the reception room. CLOCKS of every sort sounded fitting music to the passing hours; in short, every piece
 of furniture in the house seemed An some way to be connected with a hidden or

 Black trlpped and fell down the long staircase, and his life paid the penaity of this final pursuit of his tdeal.
 Before the funeral extreme care was | taken to silence all the harmonies or the | house. For two days the servants lapor- | ed diligently disconnecting wires ana re moving offending furniture. At last they | rested from their labors and the last | sad hour arrived. The exercises were | conducted in the house and as the min | ister was concluding his panegyric on tne departed a belated mourner entered and was shown to the one empty seat, a char | fin an obscure corner. Silently the late conner tiptoed to the chair and quietly sank into It's depths.
 Instantly there pealed fourth loud chord and then without Interruption there came forth the loud, strident notes or | "There'll eB Hot Time in the Old ToWn | Tonight" All efforts to silence the music were futile. In notes that drowned the | minister and were plainly audible toI blocks the music continued, and not until | the last strain had died away was the | minister able to conclude his remarks.

wood Eating Mules.

Charlotte Daily Observer.
 S. A. Harris, a grocer of Charlotte, lost a mule and the better part of a de- livery wagon yesterday. The wagon body was made of poplar. The mule was made of just simply ordinary every day mule Tuesday night the mule got out of the stable and set about a task of eating up the delivery wagon. He ate the framework down to the floor and might have finished the floor if he hadn't stopped long enough to die

We had plenty of corn for our mules, but for days they had had no forage whatever. Well, one night my mules ate out five spokes from a wagon wheel to which they had been tied. That morning I got a load of chestnut rails to feed my mules on and they ate every one of them. Not a mule died. What caused the death of MT.

 There is a tract of land in Tazewell County, Illinois, lying along the Macki- naw River, which consists of a con- tinuous series of abrupt and deep ravines Not a foot of the tract could be culti- vated The ridges are full of fox dens wolves are occasionally found and tur- key buzzards hover over 1t in large fiocks.
 The tract is known as the Lost For ty," because no one knows who owns it. For years 1t has been used for trading purposes, and many unwary persons from a distance, have advanced money upon it and taken mortgages in various sums, only to receive a questionable title to a worthless piece of land.

KUBELIK ON FIFTH AVENUE
Odd Appearance of the Great Violin ist with Long Hair and Top Hat

ASt WASA 4OA46 AAsSAA ss@~~ - - New York Sun.
 Jan Kubelik was on Fifth Avenue the other morning staring at the diminished church parade that took quite as much interest in him without knowing probably just who he was. But a Knowledge or his identity is not needed to awaken in- terest in the young virtuOsos s looks. aesr terday his long black hair mingled with the collar of his fur-lined coat and a small silk hat perched on top of his head as if it had dropped on him as he passed out of the house. His small fees were covered with shiny patent leather anoes and about his neck was high collar that contrasted strangely with his youth full face.
 The violinist did not look happy. He was pale and the expression of his face was discontented. His secretary, who Is his inseparable companion, walked by his side, but the two rarely spoke. Fossil bly the look on Herr Kubelik's face was only another demonstration of new style of facial expression that the vir- tuosi are assuming.
 Josef Hoffmann never smiles in puhltc. He stares at his audiences sadly when he does not glare sullenly. Lilh Leh- mann always appears now in concert wearing a most woe-begone look. Fer haps the virtuosi are really feeling sad over something that the public has heard nothing about.
