tb.it Ayer's Hiiriaparllla, out of the great
number of nirnltnr iicp.iriitloiis nimuifnu
lured throughout the world, was the only
mcillclno of the kind ndmltted nt tho
World' Fair. CblrnRo? And why was It
tht, In spite of the united efforts of tin'
manufacturers of other preparation, Hit
decision of the World' Fair Directors was
not reversed?
EQAUSE
According to Runs IS "Articles
that are in any way dangerous or
offensive, alio patent rnedlctnes,
nostrumi, and empirical prepara
tions, whose Ingredients are con
csaled, will not be admitted to the
exposition," and, therefore
Steauit Ayer's Kar.iaparllla Is not n
patent medicine, nut a nostrum, mid not
a secret preparation.
Steam Iti proprietor had nothing to
conceal when questioned ns to the for
mula from which It Is compounded.
Ktcautt It Is all that It Is claimed to be
a Compound Concentrated Kxtract of
Sarsaparllla, and In every sense, worthy
tho Indorsement of this most Important
committee, called together for passing
upon tho manufactured products of the
entire world.

IT WILL RAISE SOMF. SERIOUS
COMPLICATIONS.
An Kleetrle ApplUace Which May Rev
olatloalse the Basis of Talaes T
Eatract fhe Hold and Silver rartlclea
frosa Water.
UST NOW, wfall
tho politicians and
economists art en
gaged in discuss
ing the merits and
demerits of out
monetary system,
wo hear a great
deal about the
worldmovlng back
ward. There are
learned men who
honestly believe that the world reached
the highest plane of civilization In the
memorable year of 1893 and that the
pendulum has begun to swing the other
way. These men claim that In 600
years the American continent will
have been completely stripped of its
ancient glories and that the race of
that time will be a greatly Inferior one
even to the point of ceasing to build
places of shelter and refusing to avail
themselves of clothing. The promulga
tors of this belief have thousands ot
followers, especially among those who
have battled with the pangs ot pov
erty since the panic of 18M. These un
fortunates see no hope In the future.
They at present form a calm and sol
emn multitude, the Irst black cloud
(say the .leaders) of the coming bor
barlo state of mankind. Even the op
timist raises his eyes and sees this
cloud rising In the west, but he dis
cerns a silver or a golden lining, ac
cording to his theory of social salva
tion, and then resumes his dally occu
pation. As soon as the theory which he
advocates Is given a chance all will be
well again. Dut should all theories
now advanced fall ot their purpose,
what thenT Who knows absolutely
that they are not all false or Inade
quate, though honestly and sincerely
urged T If civilisation Is still to pro
gress what course can It pursue? The
first writer ot any prominence to at
tempt to solve the great problem is
Prof. Hiram Forbes, who brushes aside
gold, silver, and tariffs and claims
that electricity Is the key to the situa
tion. In fifty years, the professor be
lieves, all or nearly all the labor now
performed by man will be done by elec
tric power. Not only shall It perform
labor, but It will extract from the air
and the earth the elements which now
sustain human life, and the man or
woman born In 19S0 may live to see the
ill-advised prophesy of "Caesar's Col
umn" fade before the wonderful light
of tho twenty-sixth century. The great
electricians of today are actually work
ing along this line of progress and It
the secrets ot the Fesla or Edison lab
oratories were known the world would
be appalled. One ot the moat startling
discoveries said 'by good authority tot
have been made is to the effect that
after all we need not dig down into
the bowels of the earth after gold or
silver. By the use of electricity it is
proposed to extract the precious metals
from the waters of the oceans, aad
that in one year's time an amouat suf
ficient can be accumulated to outbal
ance that given up by the earth In
2,000 years. This discovery has been
mad by Edison. It has been knows
for two centuries that the waters of
the oceans are highly charged with'
particles of the purest gold and sliver,
and many methods have been devised
with a view ot utilising, but failure has
met every attempt up to the time of
Edison's experiment Edison proposes
this time to reap the benefit ot his ow
discovery. Heretofore big syndicates
have taken hold ot his inventions and
today he Is a poor man. But once he
starts dumping gold aad silver bullion
Into the United States mints at the
rate ot a ton or so a day he would
soon not only owa the United States'
but the earth aa well. The only chance
of salvatloa would be for the govern
ment to compel Edison to give tip his
secret roc the benefit of all the people.
But could the government compel Ed
ison to give up his secrot? By at
tempting it the government would
commit itself to the baste principle of
socialism. By allowing him to pro
ceed it would commit itself to March
Ism as the term Is properly under"
stood. It might demonetise both gold
and silver, aad thereby render the dis
covery unprofitable from a coinage
standpoint A plethora of new ques
tions would arise and the proper action
to take would be readily seen aa the
crisis forced itself.
Fo Ike Weaaasi T.aveler.
The best advice to give the wqman
who is traveling is that she must not
be in a hurry. Hurrying will tire her
out before she starts, will make her
face red, and upset her nerves. Let hef
arrange aa to time, know exactly hoW
much she has, and study the art of
reaching her train punctually, which'
does aot mean aa hour too soon or three
minutes too late, but Just ahead of the
hour set It U hsr 'duty to look well,
but not to be overdressed. It is her
duty to have with her the belongings
she may require, but she should not
have so many unnecessary things la
the way of bundles and bags that the
public feel that she Is an unpleaaant
care upon them. It Is her duty to pre
serve her temper, to look for all agree
able things, to ignore the disagreeable
ones, and then, indeed,-will she find
pleasure as she 'goes abroad "strange
countries for to see."
Deceptive Appearances.
The late Governor Throckmorton, ot
fXexafl, was quite as famous at the bar
aa In politics. One of his most notable
cases was the defense of a man named
Borrrar, who was accused of murder.
Mr. Throckmorton soon discovered that
the evidence against his client was too
strong to be overcome by any plea ex
tv aeK-dtfense, hut almost
la lasT""
any other lawyer would have been non
plussed by the discovery that the man
whom Bomar killed was tn his shirt
sleeyes at the time, and that no ens had
ean him with a weapon exposed. Mr.
Throckmorton gave no sign ofjlls
couragement when these faots were
brought out, but at the proper Juncture
of affairs he suddenly pulled off his
coat and waistcoat, and, turning
around so that the Jury could see every
side of him, Inquired whether, In their
Judgment, he was armed or not. The
answer tn the negative was unanimous.
With a knowing smile, Mr. Throckmor
ton proceeded to draw from under his
left arm one pistol, another from under
his right nrm, one from each of his
boots, and finally a huge bowle-knlfo
from under his shirt at the back of the
neck. As he laid the wenpons In a row
on the table, he said, "You see, gentle
men, although In my shirt sleeves, It
was not safe to consider mo unarmed."
The Jury exchanged glances, and coun
sel for the prosecution knew from thnt
moment that their case was gone.

THE BUNCO MEN'S TRUST.
How Imprisoned Criminals Secure Money
to Kscape the Law.
It Is often a matter ot speculation
where tho professional crook ot the
higher class gets his financial aid when
picked up, by tho police In the city In
which he chances to be plying his vo
cation. As a general thing when a
well-known crook Is arrested ho has
no money and apparently not a irlend
In the city, yet he always manages to
get the best legal talent obtainable and
he Ir granted every privilege that tho
lavish expenditure of money can obtain
for him. Police Inspector Byrnes ot
New York has discovered the secret.
According to this eminent authority,
crooks with a record for big and dar
ing Jobs In which big sums are involv
ed belong to a fraternal order known as
the "Bunco Men's Trust." The order
according to Information which Chief
of Police Speers possesses, has now a
membership of two hundred men with
an emergency fund of 750,000. The
order Is maintained by each member
turning into the fund 5 per cent of bis
stealings. This money Is used to aid
any member of the trust to escapo the
law. He Is provided with money to
employ an attorney, or a dozen ot them
should his case be desperate; for his
maintenance, and the employ of
"friends" at the place of his confine
ment Hailing signs and passwords, as
in secret orders, are used by members.
Four men handle the funds of the or
der and they are paid liberal salaries
to be honest The headquarters of the
trust Is In New York. The trust was
started by Joe Bond, alias "Paper Col
lar Joe;" Charles Mason, alias "Boston
Charlie;" Joe Lewis, alias "Hungry
Joe;" PJte Lake, alias "Grand Central
Pete;" fDoc" Coons, Jim Fitzgerald,
Tip Farrell, "Pop" White, "Big Jim"
Casey and others. They are all conflT
dence men and the total amount of
their dishonesty is fully $2,000,000. All
are known to the police of every city In
this country and on the continent of
Europe. It was this trust that," aided
Tom O'Brlaa, the "klag o confidence
men," who la now before the public as
the slayer ot Reed Waddell, bis part
ner, in Paris, France. The. trust's
agent, Frank Smith, alias "toc"'Mln
chon, Is now on trial at Reme, N. Y.,
for assisting O'Brlaa to escape.
JOAQUIN MILLER SMIRCHED.
The "roet of the Sierras" CeaaecUd
with n Hawaiian Seaadat.
San Francisco special: Joaquin Mil
ler, the "poet of the Sierras," figures as
a fickle lover in a tale from the Ha
waiian Islands. The name of the young
woman connected with the poet la the
gossip Is Araba Miller Oliver. She is
about 17 years of age and her freshness
and beauty contrast with the advance
ment In life ot the poet The story from
the Island Is that Miller abandoned the
young woman, who Is soon to become
a mother and that she Is now wholly
dependent on charity. She Is living
with a native family and has been wait
ing in vain for assistance from Mil
ler. When he arrived In Honolulu ho
represented that she was his daughter,
the report stated.
Joaquin Miller was averse to discus
sing the accusation when visited yes
terday. He did not waat to enter Into
any dispute with the girl in order to
defend himself and waa willing that
her statements should go uncontradict
ed. It appeared that he Is still fond
of her, and from a remark which he let
drop It waa Inferred that he might re
turn to Honolulu, If he could do so
with safety, for the purpose of seeing
her again. He was Inclined to think
that the scandal about him had been
set afloat by persons In Hawaii whom
he offended by his published criticisms
of the political conditions on the
islands.
Orlglaal of "Blue Beard."
That nursery tale which has charm
ed generations ot children, and their
elders, known as "Blue Beard," was
written by a French author. Tho orig
inal of the character ot Blue Beard waa
a marshal of France, who lived In
Brittany and who waa charged with
murdering several wlvea and over one
hundred children. Being convloted of
sorcery, he was burned.
Where Joe Jeffersea Was Bora
The house is still standing In Phila
delphia in which Joseph Jefferson was
born, 'and recently an inscription was
placed over the door as follows: "In
this house was born Joseph Jefferson.
Here's your good health and your
family's, and may they live long and
prosper."

THE K1NETOPHONB.
afr. Edison Is Now Ktperlmentlae; oa
Ufe-Slse Figure.
The klnetoscope is the name decided
upon by Thomas A. Edison for his la
test contrivance. It is a combination
of the well known klnetoscope aad
phonograph, and It gives sound as well
as action. The now machine resembles
the klnetoscope closely, with tho addi
tion of rubber tubes nnd ear pieces by
means of which the voices ot tho sub
jects shown may be heard. . The mat
ter of combining tho two machines
was, according to Mr. Edison, very
simple, tho only obstacle being to get
them to work In perfect accord. Thnt
Is, the klnetoscope and phonograph had
to bo started at exactly the same time
or the action and sound would not
come In together. The machlno In Its
present state Is small, and the pic
tures produced arc only tho ordinary
small ones of the klnetoscope. The
problem that Mr. Edison has now set
out to solvo la the production of life
sized figures, and ho says he will get
tho machlno in working order in three
months. His (den Is to throw the life
sized pictures of tho klnetoscope upon
sheets by means of the stereoptlcon,
and to produce tho sounds through
trumpets attached to the phonograph.
In experimenting for the production of
life-sized pictures many obstacles have
been encountered. The machine re
quires a larger film and a more power
ful light, and tho pictures produced
must be flawless. In tho small ma
chines slight flaws are not noticeable,
but when these pictures are magnified
EOO times to make them life-size, the
deviation of a hair's breath will amount
to an Inch' when shown on the paper.
The slightest waver will spoil the pic
ture. Mr. Edison Is enthusiastic over
the klnetophone, and ho says ho will
be able to produce grand opera with It,
besides many other things. "In fact,"
he said to a Sun reporter yesterday,
"the field rf usefulness ot tho klneto
phone Is without limit."
THE 'WIDOW'S' MARINES.
Ilecrnltlng Officers act the Pick of
England's Men.
The other morning Fleet Surgeon
Edward E. Mahon said to me: "Would
you Tike to see an examination ot re
cruits?" Of course I said "Yes." Tho
examination was held In a room In tho
Infirmary of tho Eastney barracks.
When we entered the room Dr. Moore
had one end of a stethoscope on a
man's chest and the other against hia
right ear. The man was stark naked.
He waa square and broad shouldered.
He had a waist. His chest was deep
and his hips were broad. The whites
of his eyes were clear and the color of
red was In his cheeks, though indica
tions were not wanting that he had
been la situations in which he felt
more at home. The candidate looked
as if a month or so of solid feeding
would do him good fill him out, so to
say, but he waa a strapping fellow, six
feet without socks, If he were an Inch.
The fleet surgeon had a go at him and
oould find nothing wrong. Finally Dr.
Moore said: "I think he Is good enough
for ours." Then the man was told to
put on his clothes a pair ot corduroy
trousers. "What are you?" said Dr,
Moore." "A country lad, sir," replied
the anxious one. "Oh, a laborer," said
the doctor. Aa we walked toward the
mess, the representative ot the Pall
Mall Budget said to the fleet surgeon
"That fellow looked big and strong
enough for any corps in the service."
"Yes," he said, "not a bad specimen
but we are very careful. We reject men
sometimes that would be taken by any
other corps. The marines are a picked
lot, and they are the finest fellows In
the service."
Something New la Poison Bottles.
The Lancet report the introduction
of a bottle for containing poisonous
substances, proposed by Mr. Qulne, ot
Pendleton, Manchester. It does not
stand erect on the table, but Is flat and
lying down, with the word 'Poison' in
raised letters. The Angers must touch
the table In lifting the bottle for use.
The peculiar shape renders the dis
tinction from ordinary medicine bottles
plain In the dark as well aa in the light
So many deplorable accidents have oc
curred through .giving doses ot poison
ous liniments or lotions, meant for ex
ternal use, notwithstanding the color
ing of glass and other differences, thai
this new safety bottle is worthy of us4

GUsey House Living Pictures.
New York Sun: The neighborhood
ot Broadway and Twenty-ninth street
was made Impassible last night shortly
before midnight by a crowd ot men ana
women, who gated intently on a win
dow in the Ollaey house; In one oi
them, which was brilliantly lighted,
stood a young man and woman in
evening dress kissing each other rapt
urously, Every time he gave her a
hearty kiss the crowd yelled. Finally
one of the hotel employes notified the
young couple of the excitement they
were causing and the blind was pulled
down. The couple had stolen away
from a banjo concert whloh was going
on la the adjoining room.
