ner her hair caught fire from the gas stove
and in an instant she mass of
flames. The mothers efforts to save the
girl resulted in her clothing catching fire
Awakened from his sleep, Ryan dashed in
and tried to help the wife and daughter
The curtains in the room took fire, and
when James Noon, a neighbor, entered the
fiat both women were dead and Ryan was
unconscious.
The fire department extinguished the
flames.

nothing. 1t was with difficulty that the
| mother could be induced to relinquish the
| body.

TO RESUME MONDAY.
Hearing in Case Of Representative
Binger Hermann.

Very little additional evidence was offered
In the trial of Binger Hermann in Criminal
Court No. l yesterday afternoon after The

government of part of the public domain
is on the way to Washington to testify in

strumental in procuring the conviction of

MORE eoLD-H1eHER PRICES.

GONE economists and hnanciers are speculat-
- ing about the present high prices and the
producuoil Of gold. As was to be expected there
are fears that gold is too plentiful. In other
words prices are too high. We can remember
how, ten years ago, were told by writers that
a gold dollar was fixed quantity, like yard
stick, and that it made no difference whether
there were a hundred or five hundred gold dol
lars in circulation, values, far as gold is con-
cerned, would not be affected Gold as money
could not change in value But the output of
gold has greatly increased and prices have gone
up Professor ]. Pease Norton, of Yale, attrib-
utes the rise in prices to the increase in the pro-
ductpn of gold and has no doubt of the appli-
cability of the cumulative theory of money. The
gold production in 1896 was two hundred mill
lions During the present year it just doubled
that amount four hundred mllions.Hence, gold
is much less valuable than it was ten years ago
The persons who are hit the hardest are those
with fixed incomes. They are far worse off per-
sdnally as regards their purchases than they
were ten years ago. But the alarm of Professor
Norton and others over the high prices and the
gold production is not new. Chevalier in 1850
feared that there would be disaster over the prob
able fall in the price of gold anent the discovery
of new mines about that time

Americans who love their country
must read with feelings both OF satis-
faction and Of regret the record of i'm
portant criminal prosecutions for the year
just closed.
With satisfaction they will see how
much has been done to refute the
charge that in the American Republic
all men are not equal before the law.
The president of the most powerful
trust was indicted. The Federal Cow
eminent went as far as it could go I'M
der the Elkins law in the prosecution OF
monopolists and railroad retaters. In
Ohio the directors Of combination in
restraint Of trade were actually put in
Jail In Arkansas the policy OF Governor
Folk was initiated by the prosecution Of
several members Of the Legislature for
bribery. That the municipalities are no
more respecters Of persons than the Fed
eral and State authorities Is shown IN the
Indictment Of the Mayor Of SIN Francisco.
Two United States Senators were con-
victed and one was sentenced to jail while
sim a member OF the hb-hest legislative
body in the land. Several insurance off,
cials were Indicted; one was sentenced TO
the pepitentlary and is now actually in
Jail And the year closed with the indict-
ment for the grave crime OF forgery, a
felony punishable by five years imprison-

powerful financial firms in the country

not survive continued favor.tism in the

As to Fortune TelIers.

Editor The Evening Journal.
The numerous persons who profess
for consideration or otherwise, to
fortell future events, is becoming larger

every hand those who tell the weather

unite the separated. flourish like the
green bay tree.
Almost every community possesses
some individual, possibly not i'm all re-
speuts a fool, who poses as a prophet.
Throwing himself into fine it, or
otherwise seeking intimate relation
with the unknown, he energies to tell
what he has seen Of the future He
predicts dire disaster always. He has
had a glimpse of tottering cities and
starving peoples. OF ships going down
In the deep. There has been vouch-
safed to hun the certainty Of pesti-
lence. famine and war.
The serious aspect Of this sort Of folly
is that It may tend ITO disturb the
timid. To exploit It is a grave mis-
take. OF course, intelligence knows
that the man who pretends to read the
unborn years. more than can be done
by reasonable reductions from cause
to effect, Is a lunatic or a knave. The
story of the universe unfolds from day
to day and there Is no reading OF the
hidden scroll.
To be a prophet is not difficult. II

the most superficial kind. The death

tolerably safe guess. The prediction
Of earthquake and international dis
turbances means nothing but that the

story Of the tragedy and then comment

She couldn't. You see. the courts have

A CAUSE FOR DISSATISFACTION.

TT is not surprising that the organization Of
4 the Legislature arouses intense disapproval
in Kent and Sussex counties. For New Castle
to take both the Speakers when there was very
pronounced desire in the lower counties for one
OF them going to Sussex was neither just, fair
nor polite 1t appears as deliberate attempt to
engender the bitterest kind of feeling between
the lower counties and New Castle. Sussex
county had candidate--in fact two candidates
for Speaker of the House, and after the selection
of New Castle man for Speaker pro tenn. of the
Senate, the other speakership should have gone
to Sussex. This county cannot afford to play
unfairly in such matters, and unless we mis-
Judge the temper and frame of mind of those
people from the lower counties who feel that they
have not been treated considerably the result
of this countys "grab-all" policy may prove not
only to be unwise but most expensive to New
Castle county before the end of the Legislature.
