t A National Ilanic Boycott.
1 WASHINGTON , duly 20-The Times
rprints the outlines of a manifesto to
r Abe issued by Master Workman Soy-
'
-crein of knights of Labor for the
boycott of alt national banks. It will
be addressed to the Knights of Labor ,
the Fanners' Alliance , the People's
; party , reform clubs and kindred so-
eieties , reciting "the wrongs of the
t -toiling thousands and their suffering
.at the hands of the money making
, power" and "calling for a boycott of
: national bank notes in alldealings between -
tween individuals. It is to go into
effect September 1 ,
The manifesto declares that "the
mnational banks are responsible for the
-destruction of the greenbacks , the pay-
' of the bonds in coin , the funding
pct , the demonetization of silver , and
-n11 the corrupt financial legislation for
i the past thirty years ; that they have
boycotted and discriminated against
even kind of money that promised relief -
lief to the debtor class and prosperity
to the industrial masses ; that they are
boycotters of the most cruel and
miercilcss kind. This boycott , it con-
y tinues , will precipitate the great con-
iiict with people on one side and banks
'on the other , and the issues will be as
sharply drawn as in the struggle of
i -Jackson with the old United States
bank. The struggle of 1n9G must result -
sult in victory for the common people
or the hope of American liberty is lost.
"Boycott the national banks , " it says
in conclusion.
Mr. Sovereign emphatically says
that it is obligatory on every knight
to obey the order. "Not only that , "
lee declares , "but we expect similar
-ortler to be issued by the heads of all
= sympathetic organizations. "
ALL BRIGHT .AGAIN ,
'Comptroller Eckcls on the Signs of Prosperity -
perity Due to Sound Policy.
CIIICAGo , July 20.-James C. Eckels ,
.comptroller of currency , who passed
througli o here yesterday on his way'to
Ottawa , 111. , said : "Coming through
the iron districts of Pennsylvania I
was astonished at the activity. From
Harrisburg to Pittsburg our train
: seemed to be running through a line
-of coke furnaces and steel mills , everyone
-one of which was in active operation
the scene that told stronger than any
words of industry and prosperity.
Last week Bradstreet's reporicd
that 1,000,000 wage earners had hau
their salaries increased within the past
fourteen days. I attribute this wonderful -
derful improvement entirely to the
confidence that exists in the financial
policy of the present administration.
Thie placing of the last loan of the gov-
'erinnent by the New York bankers
was a marvelous piece of financiering.
All these things count hard for a basis
of sound money , and have pricked the
$ ee silver bubble until it has about
collapsed. "
"What is your opinion regardmg the
two great political parties declaring
for silver in their national conventions -
tions ? ' ,
'Reports that come to me from the
, great financiers of the country , and I
am sure that they ought to know , are
to the effect that there is nothing to
1111 this free silver talk , and every day
roes to prove practically , not theor-
etieally , that the basis of sound money
is the only one that will stand. I
-don't believe either the Republican or
Democratic party will attempt to indorse -
dorse free silver , for it will be a dead
issue before the national conventions
are held. "

MORGAN IS FOR SILVER.
The Alabama Senator Delivers a White
Metal Address.
GRIFFIN , Ga. , July ! 0.-The streets
7f this little city were thronged at an
early ljour yesterday morning by
; rowds from the countiy and surrounding -
rounding towns. All came to attend
the bimetallic state convention , called
by the Spalding County Silver league ,
and to hear Senator John T. Morgan
) f Alabama speak. United States Senator -
ator Patrick Walsh of Augusta was
made permanent chairman of the
onvention.
Senator Morgan began by saying
that he came to the meeting as a Oem-
crat , in Democratic harness , and by
the authority of the settled creed , to
advocate Democratic principles as old
'Ind as sound as the great na ional
party. Then he event on to exic.l silver -
ver , arguing for its restoration , and
closed with a tirade against the
"sound money" men.
"I am here , " he went on , "as a disci ,
plc of Jefferson , Madison and Jackson-
and many others of the consecrated
fathers , to speak in defense of an act
of congress that was approved by
George Washington in 1792 for the free
coinage of silver ; which was re-enacted
iii 1837 , and was approved by Andrew
Jackson , nresidcnt of the United
States , and was stabbed below the fifth
rib by John Sherman in 1373 , and was
left for dead. "
Continuing , he said that Mr. Sher-
man's law of i873 was such a death
blow to silver as a money metal that it
Seems marvelous that silver has in it
enough life left to take up its bed and
walk. "But , " lie said , "it ismoving to
the front with uplifted head and vigorous -
ous step again , in union , if not in full
harmony , with gold , and the parade is
so inspiriting that even Great Britain
is keeping step to the music of the
union.
Referring to the record of the vote of
Senator Hill of New York for free
coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 , Senator
Morgan said the vote was cast in a
Pickwickian sense. "Such a way of
voting , " he said , "may be in vogue in a
state where the Democratic party is
divided into snapper' and anti-snap-
per' factions ; where one leader snaps'
and the other leader anti-snaps , ' and
between the two the party is consigned
to Jonah's quarter's in the belly of the
Republican whale. If Mr. lull was
forced into such a voyage by the anti-
snappers in 1S92 , it may be safely calculated -
culated that he will kick himself on
shore again in due season , "
Speaking of Secretary Carlisle , the
senator said he was not chosen as a
cabinet officer until he had changed
front on the silver question. "His
conversion was not like that of Paul ,
who espoused error , was made blind ,
and then sawthe truth and embraced
it ; but Bloc that of Aaron , who saw
the truth and became blinded to it
and espoused the darkness of Egypt
typified in a golden calf. "
Mr. Morgan combatted what he
termed "the false issue invented by
Mr. Sherman and adopted by Mr.
Cleveland ; " that it is the duty of the
government to preserve the parity be-
tween. the metals by adjustmg their
coinage to meet the fluctuations in
their commercial value. "England , "
he said , "wanted gold because she was
the largest creditor nation and killed
silver to get rid of this p City issue. "
Speaking of the Sf09U09,000 gold reserve -
serve , lie said : ' 1t was a sort of 'jack-
pot' put up by Mr. Sherman that has
kept up the gambling in our money.
It was never needed to give strength
to the United States. A country that
has paid in debts and interest more
than $3,000,000,000 in thirty pears could
not need the sunport of $100,000,000
deposited in the treasury to support its
credit. ' '
RAIN DAMAGE IN IOWA.

1IRPEITZE L 'S STORY
EASILY MISLED BY INSURANCE
SWINDLER HOLMES ,
Wrongs to Which She was Subjected-
The Three Children Taken From Their
Mother to be Educated by the Vnscru-
lous Criminal-Time Woman's Feelings
Much Worked On-Lives to Identify
the Bodies.
The Pietzel Tragedy.
Cmceco , July 19.-Mrs. Carrie Diet-
zel left late last night for Toronto to
identify the bodies of the two little
girls found Monday in the cellar of a
house there. The children , it is believed -
lieved are her own , and it is supposed
they were murdered by Herman
Mudgett or U. II. Holmes , formerly of
Chicago , now in jail in Philadelphia
for insurance fraud.
Mrs. Pietzel believes that the two
bodies found in Toronto are those of
licr missing daughtersand that Holmes
murdered them. She further believes
that the children were in Toronto
when she was there searching for
them last winter. She is broken in
health and mind , the victim , she believes -
lieves , of a hypnotic influence exerted
by Holmes. '
"Holmes , whom I haA never met , "
said Mrs. Pietzel , "but nce before the
death of my husband , seemed from the
time he asked me for the care of the
children until his final arrest to have a
peculiar influence over me. I felt controlled -
trolled by him. He had a sway over
me that I thought natural , since he
had been the intimate friend of my
husband. Besides my husband had
repeatedly told me that I could trust
him , that he was a good man , and that
he would always be true to us. The
children idolized him. There was
nothing that he could not do with
them. Again and again my husband
told me how much he thought of
Holmes and how honorable he was
until I came to the same opinion myself -
self , although at first I did not like
the man and told my husband so and
begged hun to have nothing to do
with him.
"I saw my husband last on Auguat
29 , 1894. He had gone to St. Louis.
He was then heavily interested with
Holmes in whatever the enterprises
were they had on together , and 1 was
lying sick with my baby. I was very
sick. I could not go to Philadelphia to
identify the body which they suspected
to be that of my husband. 1 could not
be moved. ] lolmes came to ine and
Alice was taken East and she identified -
fied the body. It was after that that
Holmes told ine that the body
was not that . of my husband ;
that it was a bogus body made up
to look like him , and that if I
or the children said anything abont it
the insurance company would get hold
of us and we would be punished se-
verely. I was very sick , and I believed -
lieved Holmes. He talked kindly and
offered to take Alice , Nellie and flow-
ard away from me and educate them.
signed.'y
school and pay all of their expenses.
The children loved him , and I was
alone in the world and poor. I let
him take them , and they went away.
At this time and all other times
Holmes acted to me like a gentleman.
He constantly kept me under
the impression , though , that I and the
children were to be mixed up with the
bogus body which he said was found
in P iladelphia. He said Pietzel was
still live , and that I would see him
again when this trouble was over. Ile
wished , though , to save us from ar-
rest. After the three children were
gone I moved about the country. I
began to worry about the children. I
wanted to see them and wished to
know' where they were. Holmes
always put me off with the story that
I must keep quiet until the detectives
stopped their work.
"When he took me to Detroit it was
he who registered me there as Mrs.
Adams. He told me so when he came
up to the room where Dessie , my oldest
daughter , and I were. I told him he
did wrong to put my name down
wrong , but he explained that the detectives -
tectives must be kept off of the track
and that I was protecting my
husband by this. I finally
heard the children were at Toronto -
ronto , and Dessie , I and the baby
went there alone to search , but without
success. Since then I have been work
ing for the location of the children
with District Attorney Graham of
Philadelphia , Mr. Geyer , the detective ,
of Philadelphia , and the officers of the
life insurance company have done all
in their power to aid me. You must
understand that when my children
were first really missing I was locked
up and could not communicate with
any one. i was not allowed to see the
new.papcrs nor receive mail. In
Holmes' trunk there was found a letter
from my daughter Alice to me , which
never reached me , showing that my
mail was intercepted. Since I have
had my freedom the Philadelphia authorities -
thorities and the insurance company
have worked to bring my children
back to me , and I have aided hhemn so
far as I could.
"When I gave the children up to
Holmes in St. Louis I was too sick and
trusted him too much to pay careful
attention to what I did. He told mete
to go home to Galva , to recruit there
with my parents and he would keep
the three in : school. When he took mete
to Detroit , and I supposed we were being -
ing hounded by detectives , Holmes
paid most of the bills. Sometimes I
was compelled to pay my own ex-
penses. I believe Holmes intended to
kill me. I trunk he meant to ] sill me
in Burlington , Vt , but lie must have
lost his nerve , or he still had the children -
dren on his hands , and he hesitated. 1
cannot give any other explanation of
why he spared my life. He intended
to kill my entire family. "

NEBRASKA WILL EE THERE.
An Appeal From Commissioners to time
Atlanta Exposition toCounty , Boards.
LINCOLN , July 19.-Tho Nebraska
commissioners to time Cotten States and
Industrial exposition are not disposed
to lie down under any adverse decisions
of the attorney general or county attorneys -
torneys in regard to the right legally
of counties to make appropriations for
a state exhibit at the exposition. It is
argued that counties have the right to
make a county exhibit anywhere in the
United States , All that is necessary is
to label the exhibit with the name of
the county. , A group of these counties
would make a splendid showing at Atlanta -
lanta nest September. With this end
in view the commissioners have issued
a circular addressed to the commissioners -
ers of each county in the state , setting
forth the objects of the exposition and
the advantages that will accrue to Nebraska -
braska from representation at the
show. In reference to money the circular -
cular says :
"No appropriation for defraying the
expenses of making such an exhibit
having been been made by the legislature -
ture , it will be nessary to appeal to the
patriotism and business judgment of
the several county organizations for
such funds , by an appropriation of a
sufficient amount to have their counties -
ties properly represented at Afvianta.
We therefore respectfully ash and solicit -
licit your honorable body to appropriate -
ate from your county funds , for the
purpose above setforth , an amount not
to exceed 1 cent per capita of the population -
lation of your county , or any such
other amount as in your judgment may
seem best The amount so appropriated -
ed will be used only for the actual expenses -
penses necessary to collect , maintain
and properly display the products of
the state , and any person having control -
trol of these funds or their expenditure -
diture will be required to furnish a
good and sufficient bond , and also to
report to the governor for approval and
publication an accurate , itemized account -
count of all expenditures with proper
vouchers to cover the same. For
Nebraska to make and maintain a
proper exhibit will require time expenditure -
iture of about 10,000. We respectfully
urge you to take prompt action in this
matter , as the time is short in which to
gather and arrange an exhibit which
wilt do justice to time state. All money
appropriated or contributed should be
made payable to and forwarded to Governor -
ernor S. A. lloieomnb , Lincoln , Neb.

HORR-HARVEY DEBATE.
Itir. IIarvey Charges Corruption in the
Passage of the Law of 1Sig.
Cnicsoo , July 19.-The Horr-Harvey
debate to-day opened at 11 o'clock instead -
stead of 2 o'clock as heretofore. The
subject Under discussion was what Mr.
Harvey had characterized in his book
as the "crime of 1573"-the demoneti-
zation of silver.
After sonic miscellaneous sparring ,
: Jr. IIarvey charged corruption in the
passage of the act for the demonetiza-
tion of silver , and \lr. Tlorr repudiated
the inference that the citizens of the
United States were all corrupt. Ile
declared that it was not true that every
man had his price. Members of con-
grers were as honest as the average
American citizen. He knew whereof
he spoke , for he had been a member of
that body Himself.
Mr. llorr then took up the history of
the demonetization act , showed the
stages through which it had passed
and declared that its final enactment
was not until after it had bt:2n before
congress for nearly three years.
Mr. Harvey then returned to the
attack upon the honesty of legislators
throughout the country , including
members of congress and of the IiEn-
ois and Colorado legislatures. This
venality was sapping the foundations
of the government as it had sapped
the foundations of and destroyed
every republic of the past.
Mr. Ilorr again returned to the defense -
fense of the honesty of the American
people.
Mr. Harr then spoke of the demoni-
tiration of silver in ISIG as the result
of experience in the use of the double
standard. In 1871 Germany adopted
the gold standard and threw on time
market $300,000,000 in silver. It was
this that set the world to considering
the silver question-not any gold bug
conspiracy. The financial policy of no
great nation was ever dominated by a
conspiracy.
This closed the debate for the day.

the disputants propounded by members
of the audience. Time attendance was
not large , but was appreciative and
generous and impartial in its recogni
tion of telling points.

CAnlmoia.Toa , Mo. , July 19.-At 6:30

men from which to select a panel of
forty , and the sheriff was instructed
to have them in court Monday next at

-Our Animal Friends.
Some South African Birds.
Following the example of other members -
bers , I thought I would write and tell
you about some of our birds. My
brothers and I have just been talking
about theblue hawk. It Is not a particularly -
ticularly large bird , and Is grayish-blue
in color. It is comparatively harmless ,
its chief prey being rats and mice.
Its nest looks like a pile of sticks roughly -
ly laid together , but at the bottom of
the nest It is very soft. This is the description -
scription my little cousin gives of its
eggs : "If you were to take a pure white
ego and rub it all over with blood , leaving -
ing a few white specks , it would be just
like a blue-hawk's egg. " In shape it
is round , and the color is really a dirty
red. The bird's call sounds very much
like that of a cross fretful baby. Another -
other peculiar bird ] sere is the hammer-
hop. It is a large brown bird , and has
a crest upon Its head which looks like a
hammer , hence the name. It preys
upon the frogs. It makes a tremend0US
nest in the shape o a but on the top
of a high rock. I am told that it plasters -
ters the nest on the inside. One of our
prettiest birds is the gilded cuckoo or
diedrich. The color of its back is green ,
and looks as if a lot of bronze dust had
been sprinlled on it. Its breast is
white spotted with brown. Like other
cuckoos , it lays Its eggs in other bird's
nests. The color of the eggs is pure
white. It has a very musical cal-"dee- !
dee-dee-diedrich. "
The aasvogel is a species of vulture.
It is of a dirty white color , and has no
feathers at all on its neck. Almost as
soon as an animal dies the sky is darkened -
ened by aasvogels flyIng to prey upon
the body. The leader or king perches
upon it first , while his followers it
round waiting until he is finished. He
claims the eye as his portion , as a rule.
As soon as he has satisfied his hunger
he flies away , leaving his followers to
have their share. The aasvogel builds
his nest of sticks on the top of some
inaccessible krantz ( precipice ) . The
eggs are white , I believe , spotted with
brown.-Isma Fincham in Harpers
Round Table.
Godliness Is I'rolitablc.
The thought brought out by H. N.
Jacks , secretary of the Oakland , Cal. ,
association , at the noon prayer meeting -
ing in the Chicago association building
the other day , that godliness is profitable -
able even in this life is one that is
sometimes lost sight of , even in this
practical age. Even from the utilitarian -
rian standpoint there is no stronger
argument for Christianity than the fact
that it helps a man to make the most of
this life. The Christian is not promised
great wealth or prosperity-few Christians -
tians could stand this-but he is promised -
ised a sufficiency , and prosperity in
earthly things often follows in the wale
of Christianity. It is but natural that
it should be so. Christianity means
diligence in business and the best use
of the talents God has given each individual -
vidual man. It means also honesty between -
tween man and man , which in the end
is the best policy. It means temperance -
ance , self-control and the right use of
all the powers of body and mind. It
means the strength to embrace oppor-
tunity. In fact the Christian man is
the only man who is living in harmony
with nature's laws , and as such he can
not but be successful in the highest
sense of the word. On the other hand ,
the man who disregards God in the affairs -
fairs of his life opens time door to all
kinds of evil indulgences. Many start
out with the false notion that it is manly -
ly to drink intoxicants , to gamble , to
occasionally sow their wild oats , forgetting -
getting all the while that they are forging -
ing the chains that will bind them for
this life as well as for the next. The
man of dissipated habits can not lee a
success in any position. He is unworthy ,
of confidence. No employer will trust
him. Quickly he loses place , respectability -
bility , character and manhood , and as

A Terrified Sexton.
"Never but once have I entirely forgotten -
gotten my dignity in the pulpit , " said as
ministerial friend. "It was on a stormy
Sabbath evening. My congregation
was small and seated at my request in
the front of the church. I uring sere- ,
Ices one of the rear lamps became disordered -
ordered and I called the attention of
the sexton to it without disturbing the
congregation. # i
"Taking down the offending article , an 1
old-fashioned side lamp , and holding it 3r
at arm's length , he tried to extinguish i
the blue blaze that was filling the chlm-
ney. His fright was so apparent and
his efforts so comical that it was with
difficulty I continued to address my a
audience , still in total Ignorance of the H' '
serlo-comic state of affairs ! n the rear. 1 i
Their first intimation of danger was a A
sharp report accompanied by the terrified -
rified exclamation : 'There she goes ! '
"All heads turned to behold the old
sexton with eyes and mouth distended ,
clutching tightly the empty bowl from
which chimney and burner had just shot
skyward. Beheld and beholders presented -
sented such a ludicrous appearance that
my gravity gave way and I sank into
a chair In uncontrollable merriment.-

What a Copyrlght Is.
A copyright , dear Sir Harry , is a legal
right to a copy. Suppose you and your
friend Delano , four doors away , should
publish a book that proved as
popular aswell , let us say
Trilby , or Ben-liar , or Uncle
Tone's Cabin did. If you sent out a
few copies and put upon them no legal
proprietary mark , other persons seeing
the demand could and would take your
work , make copies of it , sell them ,
pocket the nioney , and give you nothing
for what perhaps cost you a great deal n
of effort. If , however , you observe the
legal forms , and your book proves saleable -
able , other persons are prevented from
making additional copies. Those who
want copies must buy them from you.
The legal form is very simple. Before
you publish the book , paper , print , or
'whatever it is , you mail two copies to
the Librarian of Congress , Washington -
ton , with $ i. lie returns to you a paper ,
dUly signed , setting forth the fact that
for a certain number of years that article -
cle belongs to you. You state this fact
on each copy published , and then the
profit is yours , and the law protects
you in it.-Harper's Round Table.
