SHANGHAI GOLD FURRY.
Disaster Caused to Many Speculative
Cinnamon.

= Recent China coast papers tell of a
slump in the money market at Shang-
hal that was in way small reflex
of the trouble of last month here. In
the Shanghai instance it was the wav-
ering price Of gold that brought con-
fusion to many speculative Cinnamon
and fortunes to very few.
Shanghai has a curious money sys-
tenn. Rather it is the lack of all sys-
tenn that makes the neutral port the
center of small financial whirlwinds al
most every time that steamer sails
away.
Being a neutral town, what Chinese
money there is circulates in the form
of small change. Big Mexican dollars
form the basis of all transactions in
small sums, and a somewhat mythical
tael represents the conversion of bank
notes into the money nomenclature of
all China. Each bank issues its own
notes; there are Russian ruble notes,
English pounds and German marks.
So closely does the price of gold gov
ern the exchange that people wanting
to send an order by mail wait almost
until the hour Of a steamers sailing to
draw a check on their bank. knowing
not what minute their accounts there
may shrink temporarily.
1t was under these conditions that
some of the Chinese money changers in
Shanghai began recently to gamble on
the price of gold. Their only stock in
TRACE was d nOCoDOOk anu pcflCll
During the days of the money trouble
here and it's reflex effect on the banks
of England and France these Chinese
money gamblers went into the street
in the coast port, buying and selling
hypothetical gold bars, depending upon
the scanty news kilograms Of the fin
ancial situation that sifted around by
Way of India and the coast ports to
make their deals.
Many of the Cinnamon had never seen
gold bullion; not few had yet to look
upon their first gold coin of any de-
nomination of any nation; but the mad
ness spread and most Of the money
changers of Shanghai were involved in
this conversion of fairy gold into real
taels of Mexican dollars.
The crash came when some of the
saner Cinnamon banded together and
agreed that pending accounts between
them and other SPECTATORS should be
settled at once and in real money. AS
a majority of the debtors affected were
penniless when they began buying gold
and only few had played their cards
strongly enough to win out the sudden
call for money pulled down the whole
himsy structure of chance.

OHIO'S BLIND MEN.
Craft Displayed by Those Who Take
Advantage of State.

Ohio is Mecca for the sightless.
Under a law which went into opera
ton January l, 1904, persons totally
blind through no excuses of their own
and unable to maintain themselves
and who shall have been residents of
the state for five years and the county
in which they reside for one year, are
entitled to a pension of 500 a year,
payable quarterly.
The Ohio law is unique in that it is
one of the few to provide for the care
of the blind outside of institutions.
Many outsiders flock to Ohio, and. be-
fore gaining the residence prescribed
by law attempt to secure the pension.
1t is possible that five years previous
to this time they had visited Ohio, and,
counting from that date, endeavor to
secure residence.
A probate judge says:
During the past few months I have
not only discovered duplicity in new
where several who were drawing pen
sions were doing so wrongfully and in
contravention of law. Blind people
whose legal residence was in Ken
lucky, Indiana or other neighDorlng
states, have appeared before me, with
their witnesses and attempted to Sc
cure the state pension. By systematic
questioning I have frequently ascer-
tanned the fact that they were not
bona fide residents of this state, but
purpose of securing state aid.
"Then there is another class OF the
blind. who, having ample means. en-
deavor to profit by the pension law.
AS 1 was walking with a friend some
time ago we passed blind man whom
I remembered granting pension, and
my friend called my attention to MIN
and remarked that he was in bust
ness which netted large sums OF
money. 1 Immediately ordered him to

he was actually in receipt of large
income. His pension was Immediately
cut off.
sHThe state law is wide in its scope
and intention to care for all the blind
who live in Ohio. But it is determin-
ing whether they really live here or
whether they simply came here to en-
low state bounty that the probate judge
| is to decide.

amount Of ridicule Those who are
encouraging it argue that it not only
does not SAVIOR Of any improperly,
but also that not even the charge of
novelty can be brought against it.
They point out that similar course
was followed in France Tor supplying
wives to the earliest French settlers
in Canada.
Under the fostering care of Colbert,
Louis X1V'S great minister Of finance,
and Of the colonies, girls were taken
from the houses Of refuge Of Paris
and Lyons and sent out to Canada as
prospective wives of the settlers.
Mother de Incarnation wrote in 1865
that a hundred had come that sum,
| mer and were nearly all provided
with husbands, and that 200 more
were to come the following year. In
1872 Count Frontenac, the governor
| of Canada, wrote home to Paris COM
planning of the scarcity of the supply
of young women sent out from
France.
'If $50 girls and as many SER
| wants." he said, had been sent out
| this year they would all have found
husbands and masters within a
| month"
had been married at Quebec it was
found that they had husbands at
home The priests became cautious In
tying the matrimonial knot, and Col
bert thereupOn ordered that each girl
should provide herself with a certifi-
cate from the cure, or magistrate of
her parish, to the effect that she was
| free to marry.
| 1t is expected that the same qualifi-
cation will be required of all those
who are to be taken to the Canadian
| northwest under ecclesiastical au-
| spices. Instead of exhibiting them for
| the inspection of suitors for their
! hands, in imitation of the course
adopted at Quebec two and a quarter
centuries ago, these new candidates
for matrimony will be encouraged by
their conductors to accept places as
| domestic servants until sought out
for wives by their future husbands.
Considering the loud call for wives
in the northwest of Canada, the new
arrivals will not have long to wait
Nor will it be necessary to entice or to
drive the bachelor settlers into wed

| their forefathers in Quebec in the
middle of the seventeenth century,

CANADA WANTS WIVES.
French Plan of Long Ago May Be
Tried Again to Get Them,

A cry for wives comes to the pro-
vince OF Quebec from the French
Canadian settlers in the Canadian
Northwest Territories. A Roman
Catholic clergyman in Alberta is con-
templating trying a scheme suggested
to him by the disconsolate bachelors
or his parish for supplying them with
wives.
Women, except squaws, are scarce
IN the Canadian territories and there
Is an absolute absence of young mar
rlageable women of the same race
and religion as the struggling SETTLERS
VINO nave gone out there from the
french parishes of the province Of
quebec The priests are anxious to
see them married to wives of their
own nationality and faith. so as to
encourage the growth in the north
west or French speaking and Ro-
man Catholic population. Judging
from the wonderful natural increase
or the French Canadian nation in the
Province of Quebec, the supplying of
wives and mothers to the northwest
settlers is all that is necessary for the
early establishment of an equally
populous settlement on the western
prairies.
The northwest settlers are only too
anxious to fall in with the desires of
their priests in the matter of mar

not be obviated by any efforts of their
own. They can not afford the time.

But they are prepared to do SO to a

speaker Of the pleasure 1t gave them

Referring to the circumstances that
there were some newspaper men in
the party the speaker elected a great
deal of laughter when he inquired if
their practices were like those of
some American journalists. Discuss
ing this class of writer's he said that
''if there was news they sent it; if
there was no news then they invented
think stories; that If one set of them
did not invent think stories to suit

Council Proceedings

The old city council met at the city hall last Monday evening at 8:3O o'clock, all members being present. The annual reports of the marshal and fire chief, treasurer, clerk and the finance committee were read and approved. The members then vacated their chairs and the new council was legally installed.
 Councilman Stuhbins was then chosen as chairman pro tenn. and by a unanimous vote M. J. O'Connor was elected president of the council and ex-oflcio mayor of the City of Doug las.
 City offices were then filled by the election of John Henson, city clerk; ?. H. Fox, treasurer; Frank Bach, police judge; and J. r. MoDonald, marshal and chief of the fire depart ment.
 It seemed to be the opinion of the new council that the exigency of pres ant conditions demands that most care ful attention be given to the policing of the town, and, in order to give the city protection both by day and by night, Mir. Hugh Tracy was also appointed a marshal of the City of Douglas.
 Mayor O'Connor then appointed the following standing committees;
 Finance-Brie, Jensen and Rosswog.
 Sewers and drainage-Jensen, Fox and Erie.
 Fire and water-Stubbins, Fox and Jensen.
 Streets and public prOperty-KeiSt, Fox and Stubb
 Health and police-Keist, Rosswog and Erie.
 After giving a vote of thanks to the retiring council, the body then ad- journed.
