The Currency Bill.

The Vreeland Currency Bill
passed by 1876 to 16 votes in the
party caucus last week, and will,
no doubt, become a law. The
purport of the bill is to regulate
the gigantic banking system in
this country, and prevent money
stringencies and panics, such as
struck this country last October
and shocked the nation like a
great and furious cyclone.
1t is to be hoped that the bill
will meet the desired end ard
the appreciation of the constitu-
ency.

She comes of an aristocratic fam
lily, formerly a school teacher.
She is highly educated and was
converted to the christion reli-
gion through missionaries sent
from this country to South Am
erica. In her peroration she
waxed eloquent in her emphatic
declaration to the young women
to stand undefiled and not become
mere beings for show only. She
paid a high tribute to the pure
moral Negro women, the corner
stone Of the future race, We
hope that what she said of dane

girls will penetrate, take root

"Charlie Horse'

Last night our old friend Frank

called on us and reminded us of the
record breaking ball club Of America,
the old Little boss" club of this
city. 1t was back in 1887 and the
Juvenile Band had just became prom
inent and most OF the players were
members of the band. The club that
year won rs straight games and we
don't think it has ever been beaten
or tied by any professional or anna
teur cub. The line up Of the club
was as follows: Charlie Merkle, catch
er; Charlie Schuppe first-base; Char
lie Rauth, second base; Charlie Whit
ney, third base; Charlie Ross Snow,
left. field; Charlie "Cotton' Collier,
center-held; Charlie Morgan, right

Chenery, short-stop. and Will Shutt .

so many games. And bythe-way,
that is where the word Charlie

boys worked in the stores about town

and every Monday, after strenuous

THE GHOST OF THE FUTURE.
Fear Of Coming to Want and the Ter
ror of Failure.

Fear Of Coming to Want and the Ter
ror Of Failure.
The terror Of failure and the fear OF
coming to want keep multitudes OF
people from obtaining the very things
they desire by sapplng their vitality,
by incapacitating them through worry
anxiety and fear from the effective,
creative work necessary to give them
success.
Wherever we go this fear ghost, this
terror spscter, stands between men ana
their goal. No person Is in position te
do good work while haunted by IT,
There can be no great courage where
there Is no confidence or assurance
and half the battle Is in the conviction
that we can do what we undertake.
The mind always full OF doubts
fears, forebodings, is not in position
to do effective, creative work, but Is
perpetually handicapped by this unfor'
tunate attitude.
Nothing will SO completely paralyze
the creative power Of the MIND ane
body as dark, gloomy. DISCOURAGED
mental attitude. No great creative
work can be done by man who Is mol
an optimist.
The human mind cannot accomplish
great work unless the banner OF nope
goes In advance. A man Will follow
this banner when money, friends, repu
tation, everything else has gone'-suc

HlNDoo CASTE MARKS.
The Women Of india Wear Them on
the Forehead.


The caste marks worn by women IN
India are confined to the forehead and
are more uniform than those affected
by the men.
The orthodox mark invariably worn
on religious and ceremonial occasions
is a small saffron spot in the center OF
the forehead. But the more popular
and fashionable mark Is tiny one
made with gluelike substance, usual
Nv let black in color, which Is obtained
by frying sage till it gets charred and
then boiling 1t In water.
Women who have not reached their
twenties are sometimes partial to the
use of small tinsel disks, purchasaDie
in the bazaar at the rate OF ABOUT
half dozen for pie. TO attach
these to the skin the commonest ma
terial used is the gum Of the jack fruit
quantities Of which will be found stick
Ing to wall or pillar in the mouse
ready for immediate use.
In the more orthodox families 1t Is
considered Objectionable that the fore
head of woman should remain BLANK
even for moment, and accordingly u
Is permanently marked with tattooed
vertical line. The blister takes some
times fortnight to heal, but the Hin
doc woman, who Is nothing If not
martyr by temperament and training
suffers the pain uncomplainingly.-

body tried to get his or her animal
under the priest so that some OF
the holy water might fall upon it,
and those who were fortunate retlr-
ed, satisfied that their animals
would be we'll for the coming year.
This continued all day long, the
priest appearing every half hour
and going through the same cere-
mony in order that all who came
might have their animals blessed.
After the drops of holy water fell
on the animals they were carried
off in triumph to the homes OF their

in their gaudy clothing until even
