GOLD IS UNL0ADED
LIKE ANY OLD
FREIGHT
How Relief Comes to New York
Bankers
MILLIONS AT WALL STREET
Bringing Of Precious Metal From
Europe Has Already Proved Help.
full In Moving Wheat.

NEW YORK, Nov. Z. 49, with no
greater ceremony than If the iron band
ed wooden boxes had contained so
ISich weight in tin or other base metal
the more than $7000,00O In gold
brought to port by the swift express
steamer Kronprinzessin Cecilie was
transferred from the strong room OF
the vessel to Wall street.
The gold coin, most of 1t in American
eagles and double eagles, was taken
to the United States subtreasury,
while the bars Of bullion-real, genu-
Inc gold bricks-were dumped ut the
assay office. The government immedi-
ately advanced to the bankers TO
whom the gold was consigned 30 per
cent of the value of the shipment IN
bills and currency. The other 10 per
cent will not be paid over until the
coin is weighed and until the bullion
is both weighed and tested as to fine
ness.
Throngs Of curious persons gathered
at the steamship piers in Hoboken to
watch the unloading Of the millions
and at the subtreasury to witness the
receipt Of the precious metal at that
dark and forbidding looking structure.
Those who came in search of the spec
taculGr, to hear the clink Of the shin
ing coin or to gaze upon the yellow
richness of the bullion bars found
nothing but disappointment for their
trouble. They looked upon 25 boxes
as unromantic In appearance as 1t was
possible to make them and not half so
gayly fashioned AZ many of the mer-
chandise cases which come from
abroad at the holiday season. Their
only distinguishing features were a
few strips of red tape held tightly In
place by large disks of red sealing
wax.
At no stage Of the game was there
anything ever approaching the spec
tacular. The freight handlers and the
truck drivers fumed and fused over
their work In loading. They sat upon
| the ul6ttl DOAcs, CucNcu tOuutNu anu
talked about Tammany's victory OF
their way across the Hoboken ferry
and in threading their way through
the crowded. slippery, rain soaked
streets Of New York. They volleyet
the usual lusty denunciations at Other
drivers who got in their way ant
chuckled merrily at the traffic squad
policemen who threatened them will
a trip to the nearest police station i
they declined to slow up at certain
crossings as they were bid.
None Of the men was armed, and th'
only amusement they got out Of thu
transfer Of the millions for whicl
Wall street was waiting was in watch
ing and commenting upon the crowds
who gazed at their work.
The bringing In of gold from abroad
has already proved helpful in expedit
ing the movement of currency to west
ern wheat fields. The premium 70
currency has become lower, and thi
enabled several banks to ship large
amounts Of currency than would bav
otherwise proved possible to their cor
respondents west of the Mississippi
river. The amount of the government
deposits directed by Secretary Cortel
you to be placed In st. Paul and Min
neapOlis is $3.0O0,0O0.

VOTE FOR GUlllOTlNE.
French People Demand Restoration
of Death Penalty.


PARIS, Nov. 9. - The increase or
crime in France has aroused a popular
demand for the restoration of the
death penalty, which has been practi-
cally abolished by the systematic com
mutation of the sentences of criminals
condemned to death. The government
desires to formally abolish capital pun
shment and has been committing
death sentences to Imprisonment ut
hard labor for life. During the present
session of parliament 1t was the lnten-
ton Of the ministry to secure the adop-
ton of measure formally doing away
with the execution of criminals, but
recently juries throughout the country
have recommended having recourse to
the guillotine as being the only means
of stopping the atrocious murders
which are Of daily occurrence In Paris
and In the provinces.
A popular vote taken by a local
newspaper has resulted In 1,OS3,65
persons prOnouncing themselves In ia
vor of restoring capital punishment,
while 32S.692 announced themselves as
being opposed to it.

HOW TO REACH THE PEOPLE.

By Rev. c. e. Aked.
The Christianity try to teach is an
appeal to the intelligence, the Ideals,
the hearts of men, the appeal for right
thinking and living. Sturgeon once said
the people he preached to were like a
dust heap, but a dust heap filled with
thousands of little steel filings. Il hold
the magnet" he would say, and l draw
to it the little particles of steel in the
dirt" He meant. of course that he
aroused in his hearers that something
that inspired them to be better men and
women.
How can the people be reached?
Much is heard of so-called magnetism
Of public speakers. Is ii not really n
sympathy between the preacher and the
listener? To me the preacher and his
con-legation bear an intimate relation,

NLnnnginr the MorI.ers.

Managing the workers on farm is
a science in itself. 1t Is science that
few have studied sufficiently. Plan
ming out the work so that it Ray be
done in the best manner and in the
least time is equivalent to saving in
dollars and cents. Not only should the
work be properly done and at the right
time, but the time between different
pieces of work should be as small as
possible. Here is point at which
great waste occurs. 1t is like a man
forgetting something at the store and
having to drive back miles to get it. No
man can properly manage set OF
workers without putting some thought
on 1t. Thinking is not so easy as 1t
seems. To think in a logical manner
requires effort.
