The National Silver party, through. Chairman Mott, issued from its headquarters in this city an address to the friends of silver. This address recites that since the founding of the National Silver party on Janu ary 22 last, the work of organizing has "been steadily, hut quietly pursued, and the country aroused to a pitch of excite ment unknown since the civil "war. It declares the secret of success in the pending conflict consists in lining up for the battle, and that the convention of the party to be held in St. Louis July 22 "will undoubtedly be one of the most important conventions and nota ble gatherings ever assembled in this country. Upon the wisdom of its acts and that of the People's party conven tion to be held at the same place and time depends, the address declares, "the vital question as to whether we can have a just settlement of this money is sue in our generation." The friends of the parry are urged to push the work of organization with all possible vigor, the purpose being to unite for action all be lievers in the restoration of "free silver and prosperity."

Ejn&ldlxtr- Tells Eow He Was Ablo to Pisco tho Ball Anywhere. "Before I joined the Boston Bed Stockings," said A. G. Spalding re cently, "I used to go up to the bat with the solo object in view of hitting the ball from the shoulder as hard as I could, without any idea as to what part of the field it would go cr on the ground cr in the air. All I thought of was to 'knock it cut cf the lot, ' as the boys say. But I soon found that there was something more in batting than that I think I got my first idea of what batting should bo from defending my wicket in cricket when we went to England on that baseball tour in 1874. At any rate, I got into the habit of try ing to place the ball, instead of hitting at random, and from that time I real ized that to try to tap the ball to right field ever the heads cf the iufieldcrs and short of tho catching reach cf the outfielders was about the right caper. "The new method of handling the bat, I remember, came to me all of a sudden. I had been for some months batting very pocriy while hitting from the shculdcr, a base hit being the result in about eight of ten times at the bat, and even less. One day I thought I would ay something different, and, get ting some one to pitch swif t balls to me, I went in for tapping them to right field so that they would fall safe, and after a few trials up went my batting, average of base hits at a jump, and especially did my hitting prove useful when run ners were on the bases. The boys be gan to want me to follow them at the bat, because I hit so as to bat them round toward home. Then it was that I first practically realized that a swift ly pitched ball to the bat which was just tapped by the bat ihut is, hit lightly, but not like a 'bunt' would go to the field, sharp from the bat, with surprising speed; besides which, I could govern its direction better than it was possible in hittii'g it from the shoulder, as before. "Talking of swif t pitching, " contin ued Mr. Spalding, "I used to think that we old time pitchers could send in a pretty speedy ball under the rule of the underhand throw, but none of us ever equaled thy speed of the cyclone pitch ing cf the present time winch comes from the regular overhand throw. Then, too, with all our practice, we could not command the ball in delivery, as is pos sible in overhand throwing." New York Times. Played Poker In s Poorhonse. There has been a pronounced stand taken " against gambling in some quar ters at Portsmouth recently. The fire and police departments have been or dered to abandon card playing, and a full grown poker game has been broken up at the infirmary. It appears that several of the inmates receive small pensions and others earn a trifle occasionally fcr tobacco money by outside work. They have lately been losing most of it to some of their fellow unfortunates who are skilled in the manipulation of the cards. They used crackers and grains of coffee as chips and played in the basement of the build ing. A poker game in a poorhonse might be considered sufficiently unusual to be worth permitting to proceed as a curiosity, but Superintendent Mershon thought not and placed the participants under discipline. Columbus Dispatch. Tab Discovery Saved His Life Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beavers villeIIL, says: "To Dr. lung's Xew Discovery I owe my life.

Ee&dy to Bresk Party Ties to Vote Affainst Free Cohizz Th ry Forsa r Xarjje Per esatajrs cr the Voters cr This Country. Mr. Gustav H. Smwab is president of tho German society of New York city and is therefore in touch with Germans and German-Americans in this country. Being also a prominent bus in ess man, he is familiar with the views of Germans on the financial question. In an interview an May 14 he said: I am convinced from my knowledge cf my German-American fellow citi zens and their ways of thinking that the vast majority of them in the coming political contest will entirely disregard party ties and will vote for that party which declares for the maintenance, be yond a possibility of doubt, of the gold standard of value, and that they will not give their suffrage to any candidate who may be suspected of a leaning to ward free silver coinage or toward any compromise with the silver people. They consider that the paramount question before the country at present is the integrity cf our monetary system, and their votes will go to that party which they believe will uphold the country's financial honor, regardless of what their views may be on other polit ical questions. Previous experience has shown that German voters on questions relating to or affecting the standard of value have always stood for common honesty, and that they have uniformly opposed all forms of financial heresy. When, 20 years ago, the paper money inflation question was agitated in Mis souri, tho Germans of that state were arrayed on the side of sound money. The Germans of Illinois are on record as always having been on tho right side of tho money question, and as never having been led astray by cheap money propaganda at any time. A German business man, cashier of a large bank in Chicago, who has a wide acquaintance with the small bankers and merchants throughout the west, tells me that he bas had occasion to hear expressions from his German countrymen for years past on the question of a monetary standard, and that he has never yet found one who was not in favor of the gold standard and opposed to the free coinage cf silver. His opinion is that tho German citi zens of Illinois are unanimously opposed to any impairment of tho present gold standard. It is a fact, universally known, that the sound money victory in Ohio in the gubernatorial campaign of 1875, in which Kutherf ord B. Hayes ran on a Republican hard money platform against William Allen on a Democratic paper monry inflation platform, was due to the firm stand taken by the Ger mans, who, disregarding party lines, turned the scale in the election in favor of honest money. This fact was conced ed at the time by the Republican press of the state, and the Democratic candi date voiced the sentiments of his party leaders when he gave utterance to his lacerated feelings after the election by exdaiming, ' 'The Dutch are d d un reliable. " The German voters are cer tainly not to be relied upon when they are asked io prostitute the country's financial honor at their party's bidding. In the state of Wisconsin the Germans have taken the same united stand in favor of Bound money, and the same may be said of Michigan, Iowa and Minnesota. The entire German newspaper press in this country, with few exceptions, is emphatically for sound money, as it has been in the past, and can be depended upon to pronounce in favor of the main tenance of the present standard of value and for the party that represents this principle, regardless of previous party affiliations. Several important German Democratic papers in the western states have already threatened to bolt their ticket if a free silver plank should be adopted. As an indication of the gen eral sentiment of the German press I refer to the position taken by the largest and oldest German newspaper in the sonth, The Demokrat of Louisville, in the last state election in Kentucky. Al though always Democratic up to that time, this paper bolted the Democratic free silver candidate and urged the elec tion of the Republican sound money can didate for governor. The importance of the German vote will be apparent when the numerical strength of the German-American popu lation in the pivotal states is consider ed. The returns of the census of 1890 show that the state of New York then contained 972,603 German-Americans, Ohio 541,407, Illinois G90.5S8, Penn sylvania 472,423, Michigan 276,258, Wisconsin 551,S34, Minnesota 244634, Iowa 269,003 and Missouri 297,095. Whatever may be the decision of the national conventions on the money ques tion, this issue will be fairly, sqnarely and most thoroughly placed before the German voter in the course of the cam paign, and as to the nature of his re sponse I do not entertain any doubt TH EGARB AG E CLEANER. How tho "Stopper" Goes His Konnds Pick in Up Unconsidered Trifles. "That man is a slopper, " xmarked a police officer to a Star writer a few mornings since, "and he and his class give us any amount of trouble. If he stole, we could reach him by the law, but as he only finds, we cannot easily reach him." In further explanation, he said: ' 'A slopper is a man who searches through the garbage cans in the alleys in the rear cf hotels, boarding houses and private houses. Some only search for spoons, knives and forks that are thrown into the garbage receptacle by careless servants, for it is a fact that there are more silver spoons and knives and forks thrown away with the gar bage than are stolen by servants, though the contrary is generally believed. The slopper is generally an hour or so ahead of the garbage collector, and he is often more regular and careful in his rounds than the garbage man. " 'By industry we thrive, ' as the line in the copy books used to maintain, and by industry on a good west end route, especially one which takes in a number of boarding houses or hotels, a slopper can find enough tableware to pay tho expenses of his tour. Often he makes a rich find. Yery frequently ho has per mission to 'slop' the can from the own ers of the houses themselves, for he tells them he is on the lookout for stray pieces of meat, etc., which he sells to those who have dogs to feed. Some sloppers are honest enough to return any silverware they may find for the dog meat privilege, Jrat it is a terrible temptation to many, and one they can not or do not at times withstand." W0MAFS WOULD. THOUGH STILL IN HER TEENS, SHE RUNS A MONTANA BANK. Eacllah Hairdxesaing A liemarkable Jap- saeso Woman Nevr England Women's Society To Be a Museum of Jfashloa. Mrs. Beecher or Fashions. j Though this town is unknown to fame, it boasts one legitimate claim to classi fication among the progressive. It has a woman bank cashier. She is not only the cashier, but does the work of the president, board of directors, teller and bookkeeper. The Merchants' bank of Forsythe is ' a private concern, with capital stock of $35,000, and its cashier is Miss Mabel Kennedy, an attractive young woman still in her teens. She is not a relative of the owner of the bank, either, but won her position by demonstrating her ability to do the work satisfactorily and safely. Forsythe is a town of 400 people, be- country. The bank which Miss Ken nedy conducts for an owner who is out of the state most of the time is the on ly institution of its kind in the city and is the place where all the railroad MISS MABEL KENNEDY. men and neighboring stock growers transact their banking business. Depos its often run well up into the thousands, and loans are at times large. Miss Ken nedy passes upon all securities offered, makes'the loans, receives deposits, draws exchanges, keeps the books and in fact does all the work of the bank. The bank is in a building of its own, and, though neighbors are within easy call, the busy little cashier never has occasion to invoke the assistance of any of them. She is an expert, rapid ac countant, handles money carefully and expeditiously and knows good money from bad. She refuses loans on insuffi cient security so sweetly and with such tact that would be borrowers have been known to persist time and again, know ing they wouldn't get the money, but counting the chance to talk to the pret ty cashier worth the refusal. But the cashier is strictly business during bank ing hours. Though there are cattle to the south of them and sheep to tho north of them, and cowboys and shcepherders on all sides of them, and a stretch of wild ter ritory in every direction, there never has been any attempt at robbery in Por sythe, and the cashier pursues the even tenor of her way, fearing no harm, knowing that, to a man, the town would rally to her defense should a raid be attempted. Miss Kennedv is a native of Marshall town, la., where she was bom about 18 years ago. Her parents are engaged in business at Forsythe, whither they came several years ago. The bank is owned by a man with large interests in Ore gon, and he makes his heme there most of the time, and during his absence his trusted cashier is sole manager of the bank in this city. She is a bright little woman, with many social graces, and a great favorite with all the good people of the - town. Forsythe (Mon. ) Cor. Chicago Tribune. English Ilairdressinsr. Lady Helen Stewart, a fashion leader of England, has decreed that society that is, the feminine element must part its hair on the side or expose the forehead guiltless of ccquetrish curls. And fashion that is, in Englaud is beginning to sway a bit in her direc tion. While the American girl would look with horror on this nnfeminine coiffeur for her adoption, yet it gives a sigh of relief when it thinks that maybe Lady Helen's example will take effect among the world of Britain's elect. That frightful curled, frizzed bang that the Princess of Wales insists upon retaining has spoiled the faces of many women who might otherwise have been called pretty. I shall never forget once seeing Mrs. Beerbohm Tree make her toilet for a re ception. She had invited me up to her room. She was combing her mass of yellow hair down over her eyes, and I thought it was only a trirk of getting her back hair out of tangles. Judge of my surprise when she frizzed up this mass with the comb as one does feathers with a knife and let it hang in front. On went the ever present English toque over this heroic bang, and I did not wonder that the bellboys stared. But Mrs. Tree was only arranging her hair as all of her set da Therefore let every lover of beauty hope that even the formality of Lady Helen's plain forehead may make headway against the untidy, unbecoming coiffeurs of the women of the English nobility. What a change the sleek, well groom ed head of the American girl must be j to them. Philadelphia Press. ! A Kemarkable Japanese Woman. All college women of America must ; feel an especial pride in the career of the charming SteimatzRamaKana, one of the three young Japanese women ed ucated at Yassar college 20 years ago by the Japanese government Private letters from the island empire continue to bring interesting word of this remarkable woman, the wife now of me Marquis Oyama, one of the he- ! roes of the late war and beloved of his nation. The marquise seems to be ful filling the prophecies cf her classmates of two decades ago, who felt that her personality must make an imprint on her time. Intensely loyal to her coun try, she yet left here thoroughly imbued ; with American principles and determin ed to aid in the uplifting of her sex in Japan. Her last words to her friends here were to the effect that her ambition in life henceforth was to enlighten and raise her native sisters to the American standard of education and dignitv. Of I noble blood, her position with her edu cation, has aEorueCL her unusual oppor tunity to promote this desire. Her home is the very essence of refinement, with a decidedly foreign style as to arrange ment, though the gardens about are royally Japanese. With three charming children, Steimatz for so her class mates affectionately speak cf her is dispensing a beautiful and uplifting in fluence to all who come in contact with her. While the war lasted her practical work was constant. She sent out from her own hands, aided by women of all grades of society, enormous quantities of carbolized gauze, with great packages of other sanitary supplies, io the seat of battle. She is promoting many phil anthropic schemes, but none of them has she so much at heart as the educa tion of her sisters. She is using the in fluence of her own and her husband's position to bring about a change of na tive opinion concerning Japanese wom en. Believing firmly in education as the chief factor in tho elevation of women, in this direction she bends all her ener gies and arguments. Sew York Times. Kew England Women's Society. The first year of existence of the Na tional Society of New England Women recently closed in a manner auguring well for its future. Organized a year ago last March, its membership has steadily increased, reaching new consid erably over 200, with a large waiting list. Success has attended all its en deavors socially and financially, and its prospects indicate even greater useful ness and prosperity another year. A most interesting feature of its method of work is its historic day, held ev ery month. At these meetings a pro gramme made up of special colonial pe riods is presented. The ground has been carefully covered to the close of tho sev enteenth century, and many delightful papers have been included in the out line. The last historic day of the season, held a short time ago, was one of tho most brilliant. It included a luncheon and reception at the Windsor hotel, be sides the literary programme. The occa sion was called Mayflower day, and the papers treated cf that historic ship. It was hoped to decorate the tables at luncheon with arbutus, the typical New England flower, but the late spring ve toed this plan, none of the blossoms be ing found. Mrs. E. A. Greeley presided as chairman of the literary portion of the day. Delightful papers and address es were presented by Mrs. Theodore F. Seward, Mrs. J. F. Scudder and the Rev. Phebc Hanaferd. To Be a Slusenrn of Fashion. Paris, long reputed to bo the center of fashions in feminine attire, is now about to have an institution called the Salon National dc la Mcde, This will be a sort of museum, exhibiting within its precincts all the styles of dress worn by the ever changing followers of the fashions during the close of the present century. Everything used for the adorn ment of the female form is to be visible in the new institution, and it is intend ed to make the collection of lace em broidery, linen, dresses, parasols, gloves, hats, jewels and perfumery com prehensive and unique. All exhibits will be accurately classified and dated, so that the visitors to tho fashion show may be able to wander from the hat which went out in 1S95 to the orna mental head covering by which it was replaced in 1896, and so on with regard to the other articles of attire. There is also to be an exhibition of the divers adjuncts of masculine dress, and the ties, hats, canes and coats fa vored by the male exquisites of the end of the century will find a prominent place in the new salon. The institution is to be a very serious affair, for the Sa lon National de la Mode is to exist, ac cording to the determined design of its organizers and patrons, for art's sake alone, and no vulgar requirements are to be gratified inside its hallowed por tals. Paris Letter. Mrs. Beecher on Fashions. Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher thinks that many of the prevailing fashions are ab surdT "What can bo more disgusting over a small, delicate face than the most absurd and troublesome headgear worn?" she said in a recent article. "We turn from this ridiculous structure to the dress, which surely should by simplicity modify the absurdity of the other. "But, alas, the deformity of the head gear sinks into insignificance when one sees a dress flounced, puffed and sweep ing the streets with a long train. But what ejaculations are strong enough to express the surprise and disgust when one looks at the sleeves! Surely absurd ity can go no farther. But fashion is a tyrant, and volumes written about the harm she does will be of little use until women defy her and make her subordi nate. "The efforts and admonitions of age and long experience have but little if any influence toward checking the long established control that fashion for years has held over her followers. The old look sadly on the vagaries of the young, but if they should look back to then own early days they might recall ab surdities. Perhaps even the dress and style to which for a long time they have pertinaciously adhered will be thought by the young liable to the same crit icism. " Clara Barton's Victory. Those who believed that Miss Clara Barton was departing on a fool's errand whm she started for Turkey with relief for the Armenians, in face of the sul tan's order that she would not be per mitted to distribute it, are now called upon to witness the success of this no ble woman's efforts. With indomitable pluck she refused to take no for an an swer from the sultan and went along calmly with her preparations, proceeded to Constantinople on her humane mis sion and there made a personal plea to be allowed to administer succor to tho miserable Armenians. At first she was only partially successful, but then came the gratfying news that Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish foreign minister, gave his assent to the demand that all relief af forded to the Armenians by the agents of the American Red Cross society should be distributed unconditionally, excep that one member of the Turkish relief commission should be present. Accord ingly the wcrk of relief under these conditions is going forward, and tho world will have additional reason to be grateful to Miss Barton for her untir ing, -rrngplfish and altogether noble ef forts in behalf cf suffering humanity.
