mission on international e&ohanrs' Oc

pamphlet form consisting- of forty pages,
Including tha appendix, dealing entirely
with tha Chinese monetary system, which

In Us summary ot results obtained the
commissioners say: .'
Tha representatives- of all of the powers
consulted, accepted In a- general way as de
sirable and practlMe . tho 'suggestion
rnade by the t'oniiina.-uotier of tbe Uniteu
ruates. The character of these approvals
warrants the statement that the work ot
the commission up to this time has been
entirely successful. ,
In Ureat Britain and Germany there Waa
an agreement upon , certain principles,
which waa signed mutually by the rep
resentatives of the countries engaged In the
conference. The views of the delegates ut
the Netherlands and of France were ex
pressed In reporta discussing at consider
able length the points submitted by the
Amerloan and Mexican commissions and ex
pressing Judgment upoa them. In Kusxia
a formal statement of views was prepared
by the Russian commissioners, which was
ot mutually signed but was transmitted
by the Russian cuinmlnslon to th Mexican
and American commissions ss a formal
expression af the views of tha Russian gov
ernment. I'poa tha soundness-of the general prop
osition laid down by the Mexican and
Amerloan commissions, that the adoption
of a gold-axuliange standard in tiie pres
ent silver-using- countries would greatly
contribute to their economic progress, there
waa universal agreement st every Euro
pean capital where the subject waa pre
sented. There whs agreement upon the
principle that euch a system must involve
tha continued large use of sliver coins. In
order to conform to long-established cus
toms end- existing scales of value, but
that free coinage of silver should be sus
pended and determination of the quantity
of the. coins taken under the control of tha
state. In order that measures might ba
promptly taken to give them a fixed re
lation with gold.
Upon the subject of tbe Introduction of
a uniform gold standard system Into China
there waa unanimous agreement that such
a system would be dealrable and advan
tageous -both to China and to the gold
standard countries which have large com-
' merclal dealing with It.
.' Opinions of Other' Countries.
Tha British resolutions declare that the
national currency ot China should consist
of sliver- coins , made , full legal .tenner
throughout the empire and that !'as soon
as practicable steps, should bo taken lor
the establishment In China of a fixed rela
tion between the silver unit and gold." The
Russian resolutions recited aome of the
difficulties of beginning upon a gold basis
and declared tuat the American plan
"would have our approval if it were so
amended 4s to mean a national silver cur
rency Issued on government account, wlilh
should be given as soon as practicable a

l system. - The Gor
man resolutions declared against free coin
age of the silver coins and asserted that
tbe Chinese; government should "take at the
beginning of tbe reform all those steps
which would allow' It an influence on the
rate of foreign exchange." The French is
port also favored the system suggested by
the commissions of Mexico and the United
States. ,
Thus, upon 'the part of nVe powers Oer
''many, France, the" Netherlands, Mexico
and the .United States there was agree
ment -that the best method Was to begin
, the issue of tha new currency at a fixed

to favor beginning on a sliver basis with 1

' T'pon : the subject of adopting the rel

the currency systems to be established In'
the Orient by those countries and depend
encies which are considering a change In
their existing systems, there was agree
ment in all countries except Europe.
Upon the proposal that there would be

silver actually -required by each govern
ment for Its coinage purposes with aa much

objection was made to the adoption of any
definite official policy on the subject.
The German resolutions recited the fun

ttotea of China and Mexico addressed to the
United States, that It waa not aought to, ef

BEST FOR
AT THE PLAYHOUSES.
Vaudeville at tha Crelghton-Orpheuss.
Every act a hit. That sentence exactly
fits the bill at the Creighton-Orpheum thla
week. It presents entertainment for a
wide Variety of tastes, each number dif
fering In Its easentlal features from tha
others, . but all combining harmoniously,
making the whole a very well balanced
program. Wright Huntington and bla two
associates figure as the headllnera, with a
well conceived and cleverly acted skit, "A
Btaniff," which tells the story of how a
bachelor fared In taking care of a friend's
fiancee. The comedy la excellent, and was
well received last night. The Britons are
back again, dancing better than ever, if
that were possible, and are Just aa popular,
too. Bryant and Savllle mingle aome good
Instrumental music with aome good black
face ..foolery of the old-fashioned sort.
Charles Ernest also hides his natural com
plexfon behind burnt cork before coming
on to -make all hands laugh at a lot of
jokes, stories and songs. Ha waa unable
to satisfy the demand laat night, his "Hia
watha" song being a pronounced hit. Two
ef tbe best acrobatic turns ever offered in
tha theater are on the bill. The Rio broth
era have been seen here before, having
traveled with tha Wast minstrel company
In Its palmy daya. They have added sev
eral new atunta to their ring work, and
are doing aome of the most difficult and
wonderful feata Imaginable, and doing them
easily and gracefully. Tha Bchenck broth'
era are new to Omaha, and to fully appreci
ate their act one must see it. Apparently
Impossible feata of head and hand balancing
are accomplished with such grace and ease
that tha beholder almost refuse to believe
his eyes. In both these turns not only is
Immense muscular strength called for, but
the most absolute control of tha nervea. It
Is not at all likely that another such an
opportunity to see five as finely developed
and thoroughly trained young men, working
separately, will ever be offered again.
Another distinct feature of the program,
one that deserves more extended treatment,
and Which will appeal most potently to
the cultured element of the vaudeville pa
trons, la the singing of Princes. Losoros. It
doesn't matter so much that she ia adver
tised, as an Indian princess; East Indian
princesses are almost aa numerous aa Ger
man or Russian. But'ah has a most pleas
ing soprano voice, haa carefully trained
and developed it, and la happy in knowing
how to use it. Her selections are classic,
are sung with taste and careful expression,
and were warmly applauded by the 'large
audience present at both performances yes

Roa,
Tha fir department did not enjoy Ita
usual quiet Sabbath, having bean
called to respond to three alarms during
the morning. It kept them on tha run
continually and, although no aerlous dam
age waa dona at any of tha fires, tha lad
dies experienced the effect of a hard day'a
work.1
The large barn In the rear of the lot at
IS5t California street -belonging to J. Blake
McKl trick waa found burning early and
waa tha cause of tha first alarm, which
came in by 'phone. Tha mow waa ataoked
with hay and this, in addition to the fam
ily horse, was all burned, entailing a losa
ot about $M0.
At 10:07 tha second alarm was sent In
from the Pax ton block and upon investl-
gatlon it was found that a ateam conneo
lion had been severed in the room occu
pied by Dr. D. A. Foots, filling the room
and halls with steam, which waa fast con
denalng and doing damage to tha office
furniture on the floor below. A plumber
repaired tho connection and aside from
the effect of the condensed steam the dam
age waa slight.
Hardly had the department returned to
the respective engine houses until a third
call waa turned in, this tlms being from
1110 Cspltol avenue, where a one-story
frame building occupied by a family o
Austrlans was found aflame, being act on
fire by a spark from the chimney. The
damage amounted to vsry little and the
laddlea were aent home, hoping that they
could have tha balance of tbe day to them

tho Evening.
Patients and sinter at St. Joseph' hos
pital were favored by two visits Sunday
one from Governor Mickey and the other
from Albln Huster's band, which played
a aacred concert of aeven numbers in the
corridor on tbe main floor. Tha 100 Inmates
of the institution were delighted by botb
visits and manifested their pleasure by
repeated thanks. Ths presence of the gov
ernor and also ot the band, came about
through the Instrumentality of Frank Dun
lop, assisted by Councilman D. J. O'Brien,
who could not be present yesterday be
cause of a business trip- to Chicago.'
The concert was, with one exception, tha
first band muslo ever heard in the hospital.
The Idea originated when Mr. Dunlop waa
serenaded, while lying 111 in the hospital
with appendicitis, by the burlesque "Su
ale's" band, his friend. Councilman O'Brien,
essaying the psrt of the famous conductor.
At that time the patients and nurses were
greatly pleased and Mr. Dunlop and Coun
cilman O'Brien determined to arrange a
aacred concert for the especial benefit ot
tha people of the Institution. Ths affair
yesterday, resulted, and by a coincident, it
waa tho same Sunday that Governor
Mickey, at Mr. Dunlop'a suggestion, decided
to make, a semi-official inspection of the.
hospital. He arrived af ter tha concert was
finished.

When Conductor Huster raised hi' baton
for the first number his musicians were aur-1
rounded on every aide by the somber
gowned slaters and as many patlenta aa

the main entrance. Men' and boya. on
crutches and In chairs, women who leaned
heavily on the arm of nursea and friends,
listened and their pale facea aeemed to
catch a. glow of health from the muslo.
Back of the thirty-eight muslciahs the
stairway waa lined with patlenta, too weak
to atand. All doors were opened throughout
the building and the strains were carried
to every room in the three floors. With
short intermissions the band played stead
ily for an hour, or until 1:80 o'clock. It
waa so unlike the usual Concert that both
the players and their notes Beamed Inveated
with a touch of aomethlng sacred and sol

cess. I was helping her one day , and
picked up a good, fat bedbug and was on
tbe point of mashing it when ahe dropped
stive lid and . broke it. It was badly
needed in our cooking economy, and still
holding onto the bug, I took it with me
to the foundry and had a new lid caat I
dropped the bug into the mould while th
founder were pouring the molten metal
In, and Mr. Bug was forever entombed in
that stove lid. The stove lid was finished
and I took it home. Several years elapsed
and we had forgotten all about the bug,
when one day my wife dropped that lid
again and It waa broken. Well, you might
not believe It, but that old bug deliberately
edged hla way out of a crack In the lid
nd atarted off for hia old roost upstairs.
He looked a little pale and thin but,' ao-'
tually, we never could catch hlra again."

able is that shown In the Latin sentence
'Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas.' This sen
tence, you will observe, spells th sam
way backwards as forwards. The first let

second letter of each word the second word
and so on. It Is possibly the most re
markable combination of letter ever ar
ranged into a sentence. The nearest ap

Nature's
Own Cure.
Bye-met Cnree Catarrh Without
Dangerous Drugging- of the Mom.
Beh.
fJot until Ifyomet was. discovered, has it
been possible to truthfully say that a
remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy Is breathed' through the
Hyomel Inhaler' for a few minutes .four
times a day,- and during that time every
particle of air 'aken Into the nlr passage
and lungs Is Impregnated with the germ
killing and health giving Hyomel. It I
the only treatment hat cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dlsordeded
digestion or brings on some other dis
eases and never .makes a. permanent cure
of catarrh. Hyomel not only kills the
germs In the throat and nose but pene
trates to the mlnutost air colls in th
lungs and enters the blood with tho
oxygen, killing the germs - the blond.
It frees the mucous membrane from poiso i
oua microbes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but 11.00 and
Includes an Inhaler, dropper and sufficient
Hyomel for several weeks treatment.
Sherman c McConnell Drug Co., ltth and
Dodge streets, Omaha, have ao much faith
In the merit ot Hyomel that they agree to
return the money to any purchaaer who
may be dissatisfied. .
