ex-president of tlie Baltimore and Ohio
raxrroad, died at Deer Part, Md., at 3
a.m.
Although Mr. Garrett has teen a
hopeless mental invalid for many -rears.
it -was not thought
that his physical

upon the part of
his friends. About

country home near Baltimore, to Deer

and scenery would, benefit him. The
improvement "was not as great as his
physicians hoped for, and within the past
"week the patient has suffered much from
men al depression and melancholia. On
Hondny his physical condition showed a
marked change for the worse, and yes

His devoted wis was "with him when
the end came, which was peaceful and
apparently painless. The immediate
cause of dea.n is understood to be
chronic nephritis, which he has Euffered
from ior many years. The arrangements
for the funeral are net yet completed,
but it is thought that it will take place
in Baltimore on Saturday of this week.
The news of his death was a profound

AH 2ie Denver people who perislied at
Jdcrrison were campers in Bear Creek
caaoa. There vere more campers in
that vicinity and it is feared that the
teas of life wiH prove to be much greater
thaa is now known.
Some reports -say that when Bear ,
Creek canon is fniiy explored it will j
probably be fonnd that no less than 50 j
persons perished in the flood. Great
anxiety iff felt by many families in this j
city, members of which were camping
in the mountains. j
The Proctors-'vho were drowned, were j
the wife aad children tff A. S. Proctor, ;
of the Denver Tent and Awning com- j
pany. Mrs. Casey and Mrs. Herres
were widows. AE the members of these
three families were drowned, it is be
lieved, except 10-year-old Irene Proctor,
who was caagkt in a mass of drif tweod !
aad was rescued with difficulty by Earl
McGMaadJ. E Lowe. J
The torrents, which rushed down the .
canons upon Morrison and Golden and
other moaifttaii! towns, were caused by
a terrific mountain storm, which ex- i
tended for W0 miles or more. From.1
Boulder in the north, where the jnw;
age was slight, all down the range Trsr'-
of Denver almost to Pueblo, the siorm
swept its destructive way.

Q. "What is th?r premium on gold? A.
Abour 85 per cent
5- What is the silver money actually
worth? A. About 53 percent of its face
value, but it is quoted at par and gold
at ISO to 190. "
Q. "What wages are paid in this sil
ver? A. IriBinn laborers on coffee plan
tations in Guatemala get 35 cents daily;
native unskilled laborers receive 40 to
50 cents daily; craftsmen get as high as
$ 1 or $1-25 daily according to circum
stances. Q. What is the cost of Irving? A.
The hotels of the cities in Guatemala
charge 3 per day for crdinary board
such as Americans require. The people
live mainly on native fruits and maize.
Ffcrar costs S cents per pound it costs
less than 2 cents here butter 40 cents,

cents, pork 4 cents," eoffee 12 cents, rice
6 cents, lard 22 cents,potatoes 2 cents,
fresh fish 20 cents, salt 3 cents, raisins
80 cents, soap 10 cents. The prices of
horses and cattle are about the same a-i
in the United States.
Q. Are these prices the same us in
other Central American states? A
They are a fair average. In Nicaragua
flour costs 10 cents per pound, native
butter 60 cents, ham 38 cents, beef 15
cents, pork 10 cents, coffee 30 cents,
rice 10 cents, lard 25 cents, potatoes 7
cents, salt 2 cents, soap 10 cents, sugar
20 cents. The wages paid are higher,
craftsmen receiving from $1 to $2 per
day. In the railway service ticket
agents get $30 per month, station mas
ters 30 to $50, conductors 60. Ordi
nary laborers, cartmen and farm labor
ers receive from 40 to 80 cents per day.
Rents for houses of the better class
range from $40 to 100 per month in
the towns.
Q. What is the rate of interest? A.
From 10 to 12 per cent.
Q. Is banking profitable? A. Yery.
Salvador and Guatemala have each
three banks; Honduras, Nicaragua and
Costa Bica, two each. Their shares are
at a high premium and not for sale.
Q. Is business profitable? A So.
The banks charge such high interest for
the use of credit and shave the business
man so close that there is little or no
profit left for him.
Q. How do they shave him? A
Through the variation in the value of
the dollar, or peso, which rises and
fails with the fluctuations of bar silver
in the London market. It is worth one
day 53 cents, the next; 54 cents, the
next 52 cents. If a man borrows 1,000
pesos for 3 days, the bankers shave off
30 to cover possible loss when repaid,
in addition to interest. On a silver basis

NO WAVERING.
If the Nation's Credit Is to Be Preserved,
Republicans Must SIio-c a Bold Front.
The situation makes it imperative, if
the national credit is to be preserved,
that there should be no wavering ef the
sound money lines during the campaign
and that at no time should such a con
dition of affairs be allowed to arise as
would seem to foreshadow the success
of Bryan and repudiation. The exhaus
tion of the gold reserve and the destruc
tion of the only means by which it
could be replenished would put the
country on the silver basis in advance
of the election, for the small supply of
gold in the treasury would be at once
hoarded and treated as a mere commer
cial commodity, for which a premium
would be charged amounting to the
difference between the bullion value of
gold and silver.
That the effect of this abrupt descent
to the silver basis would react upon the
silver men and that it would lead to the
overwhelming defeat of their candidate
there can be no doubr, but the losses
that would be inflicted upon the country
would be so enormous that even the
election of a sound moneypresident and
the scamping out of the silver heresy by
an actual object lesson would not make
up for them.
Treasury officials are not inclined to
discuss the situation freely, and profess
to believe that if another issue cf bonds
becomes necessary it can bo negotiated
at par, if not at a prenmnn, but at the
same time they sincerely hope they may
not be confronted with such a condition
as would prevail if the gold reserve
should be depleted in conjunction with
a general belief in financial circles that
Mr. Bryan might become the next pres

in deciding that we cannot give the sup

can to sustain the good

PIN HISTORY.
The "Dsefil Articles Were Knowa.In.Earlj '

Pins are, as the saying- goes, as old aa
the hills. In some form or another they
have been in existence ever since our
first parents clothed themselves ia fi?
leaves, which grew wild in the garden
of Eden. As a matter of fact, pins claim
a very high antiquity, the earliest form (
being the natural thorn, winch is still '
used to some extent by the peasant
women of upper Egypt. In prehistoric
times pins were also made of the small
bones cf fish und.anhnals.
Among the remains of the lake dwell
ers of Europe have been found arena
pins and bronze brooches, in which, the
pins form the prominent feature, many j
of which are highly ornamental and f
verv beautiful. A few cocper and cno '

Many of them are so formed that they
