INVITATIONS STILL POUR IN
MAY STOP AT CHARLESTON, S. C.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 49,
President Taft continues daily to re-
ceive invitations to visit cities that were
not included in the itinerary of his west
ern and southern trip announced several
days ago. The entire Republican dele
CATION from Missouri, headed by Repre-
sentative Bartholdt. called at the white
house today to bespeak the President S
consideration of an invitation which will
formally be extended next week to visit
st. Louis.
Want Taft for Centennial.
The Missouri delegation is particular
ly anxious that the President should be
in st. Louis October to 8. during the
celebration of the Tooth anniversary of
the founding of the city. They would
also like to have the President make
the trip down the Mississippi river to
New Orleans, arriving at the latter city
in time to attend the deep waterways
convention. These plans do not coincide
with the Presidents, however, and if
he stops at St. Louis at all it will have
to be during the latter part of Septem-
Der, while he is en- route to Seattle
The President has decided to spend
three days in the Yosemite valley. Rep
resentative Needham of California talked
with the President concerning this fea-
ture of the trip, and was requested by
the President to make the necessary ar
rangements.
The President is being strongly urged
to visit Charleston, s. c., on the occa-
sion of his swing up through the south.

rector Campbell says:

Money orders for payment in Mexico

NEW PHASE OF SILVER QUESTION
American Mining Congress Seeks In
creased Use Of White Metal

The American Mining congress holds
its twelfth annual session at Goldfeld,
New, September q to October 2, and
proposes to take up discussion of the
silver question, with view to bringing
about a greater use of the white metal,
thereby increasing its price and decreas-
ing the rate of exchange With silver
using countries. This phase of the ques-
tion is different from the free silver
doctrine of few years ago, and be-
comes an important issue at this time,
by reason of the fact that American
manufactured products are in great
peril of being excluded from the silver
using countries of the Orient aud South
America because of the high rate Of
exchange. An adjustment of the silver
question. therefore. becomes imperative.
else there very desirable markets will
be closed to American industries.

HALF A PAPER
OF Pins
SHE SUFFERS COMPARATIVELY
LITTLE AND WILL RECOVER.
New York Physicians Are Interested
and VIII Have an x.Ray Exam
lnation Made This Week.

New York, Jan, 1s.-Medical men
are so interested In the case OF Flor
ence Smith, l5-year-old girl or
Patchogue, L. l., who has swallowed \
half a paper of pins from which she
has suffered comparatively little. that
she will be brought TO this city this
week for an X-ray examination.
An account OF the case will be pub
lished In the Medical Journal. The
child swallowed the pins, numbering
about 100, three weeks ago. and al
though she complained of pains, ply
sicians say that the protective walls
which nature builds in such cases, will
probably save her life. A physician
speaking Of the case, said:
Although about so pins are still
lodged In the abdominal tract, the
tract does not seem to have been
badly affected by them. While the
points OF the pins have unQuestionably
perforated the tract, the heads Of the
pins seem TO have stopped up the per-
forations. Nature, as far as we can
Judge, is also building adhesive walls
around the points of the pins. The
copper and zinc of the pins may cause
Miss Smith to suffer from chronic an
somia and debility all her life. But
she will nevertheless get well"

and the militia was sent to Telluride
TO quell what the governor and Cen
eral Bell claimed was an insurrection.
Meyer was an active factor In the ag-
itation, and was arrested and impris-
oned on the charge Of fomenting trou
b!e. He applied TO the state courts
for a writ of habeas corpus, and, when
this was refused, brought suit in the
United States circuit court for the Dis
ground that there had been no au-
thority for his detention. His petit
tion was dismissed for the reason that
Judge Lewis, sitting In the federal
court, held that he was without juriS-
diction. Meyer then appealed to the
supreme court, which, in an opinion
delivered by Justice Holmes of that
court, today affirmed the ruling OF the
circuit court.

The victims, thought to be twelve In

named. and the story of the disaster
will probably never be told. as there
appears TO be little doubt that every
man on board perished. AS there are
two schooners. registered under tho

mystery when the wreck was first dis
covered, but investigation seems to as
