way , Liberal Spaniards have nothing
to fear. ' Lives and property will be respected -
spected while assistance is not rendered
'to the government.
"The autonomist party says that insurrection -
surrection in arms is necessary to force
the government to favor 'autonomy.
Shame to these false patriots who live
on miserable bread that the despot
throws to them ! Soldiers from Mahon ,
ra Spanish province , have gone over to
the Insurgents' ranks. The daily expenses -
penses of Spaniards run' up to $175,000.

000 men. Soldiers die of fever in the
streets of the city of Manzillo. Famine

'Bimetallist Addresses the Conservative
Association of Belgium.
Brussels , June 15.-M. Alphonse Al-
lard , who was a delegate from Belgium
to the international monetary conference -
ence of 1892 , in an addresso to tjte conservative -
servative association asserted that the
protective policy of Belgium is the result -
sult of the currency difficulty , which he
-declared has divided the world Into hostile -
tile camps and developed changes absolutely -
solutely opposed to the interests of the
gold countries and in favor of the silver
-currency nations. M. Allard also said
that the fall in the prices of commodities -
ties is not due to overproduction , butte
to the scarcity of money caused by the
demonetization of silver in 1S73.

silver Convention at Memphis Adopts
Strong Resolutions ,
Memphis , Tenn. , June 15.-When the
silver convention was called to order for
the afternoon session Thursday Senator
Jones of Arkansas , as chairman , presented -
sented the report of the committee on
resolutions , which was unanimously
adopted. The resolutions advocate the
free and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 , declare that
international co-operation is not necessary -
sary , and attribute the recent hard
times entirely to the demonetization of
silver. They continue :
"Be lieving that it is absolutely necessary -
sary to reverse the present Iniquitous
and ruinous financial policy , we therefore -
fore resolve
"That we favc the immediate restoration -
ration of silver to Its former place as a
full legal tender , standard money , equal
with gold , and the free and unlimited
coinage of both sliver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1 and upon terms of exact
equality.
"That while we should welcome the
co-operation of other nations , we believe
the United States should not wait upon
the co-operation of other governments
or the pleasure of creditors , but should
themselves proceed to reverse the
"grinding process" that is destroying
the prosperity of the people , and should
lead by their example the nations of the
earth.
"That the rights of the American
people , that the Interests of American
labor , and the prosperity of American
industry have a higher claim to the cdn-
sideration of the people's law makers
than the greed of foreign creditors , or
the avaricious demands by = idle holders -
ers of Idle capital. " The right to regu
late its own people ! s right which no
free government can barter , sell or sur :
render. This reserved right Is a part
of every bond , of every contract , and of
every obligation. No creditor or claimant -
ant can set up a right that can take
precedence over a nation's obligation to
promote the welfare of the masses of its
own people. This is a debt higher and
more binding than all other debts and
one which it is not only dishonest , but
treasonable to Ignore.
"We therefore appeal to the plain people -
ple of the land , with perfect confidence
in their patriotism and Intelligence , to
arolse themselves to a full sense of the
peril that confronts them and defena
the citadel of their liberties with a vigilance -
ilance which shall neither slumber nor
sleep , "
The following resolution was also
presented and adopted :
"Resolved , That a committee composed
of one member from each state be appointed -
pointed by the delgates thereof in this
convention , whose duty it shall be to
correspond with the representatives and
advocates of bimetallism and bimetallic -
lic societies in the different states of the
union , and devise measures to advance
the cause of bimetallism throughout
the United States : This committee shall
have power to call a national conference
of bimetalihsts whenever , in the opinion -
ion of the committee , the cause of N-
metallism can be advanced thereby.
Said committee shall have power to fill
all vacancies. "
The platform as it was originally intended -
tended it should not , the call being
strictly non-partisan , contains no mention -
tion of any party. The convention adjourned -
journed after speeches by W. J. Bryan ,
A. J. Warner and Senator Wolcott of
Indiana.
Contesting Fred Douglass' Will.
Rochester , N. Y. , June 15.-Efforts tc
settle the Frederick Douglass will contest -
test out of court have failed , and Mrs.
Nathan Sprague , a daughter of Mr.
Douglass , will commence a suit to enforce -
force her rights. The action will be
against Mrs. Douglass , the widow ; her
brother and Lewis H. Douglass , who
are the administrators of the estate. It
is claimed by Mrs. Sprague that by the
most recent arrangements Mrs. Douglass -
lass is to get all of the estate that is in
sight
Against International Conference.
Berlin , June 15.-The National Zei
tung says that replies have now been
received by the government from the
majority of the federal governments to
the former's ingttlry regarding the expediency -
pediency of an international conference
for the settlement of the currency ques-
tion. It is added that while several answers -
swers do not imply opposition to the
proposal , not one of them manifests a
real desire to a.conference. The replies ,
it appears , generally indicate a conviction -
tion that such a meeting will be fruit-
less.
FAVORS HOMESTEADERS.
Important Decision by Secretary Smltt
as to Land Payments.
Washington , June 15--Secretary Hoke
Smith has rendered decision that will
be of interest to many Western home-
steaders. The case in question was that
of J. A. Wells of the Alliance land district -
trict , Nebraska , who requested an extension -
tension of time for making payment on
his preemption claim. The land office
refused.the request on the ground that
such extension could be granted only
in cases where inability to pay existed
by reason -failure of crops. In his de-
cislon Secretary Smith reversed this
ruling , and calls attention to a recent
act of congress which extends the time
of final payment for ten year in cases
where the entryman 'is unable to make
payment on account of any cause which
he Is unable to control.
Gail Hamilton Improving.
Washington ; June 15.-Representative
Hitt is still confined to his bed. There
was no marked change in his condition.
Miss Abigail Dodge continues to im-
prove. She is able to take more nour-
! shmtnt than formerly. It is thought
that if the improvement continues she
may be able to be removed to her home
in Salem , Mass. , within a week or ten
days.
Indianapolis , Ind. , June 14.-The Indiana -
diana tax law was again upheld in the
Federal court yesterday by Judge
Baker , who decided against the Western
Union Telegraph company in Its suit

' BEAUTY OF THE BENCH.
A Pretty Girl Once Sat with California's
Supreme Court
"Few people are aware that a woman
once sat on the supreme bench in CaII-
fornia , " said ex-Secretary of State
Thomas Beck. A look of incredulity
overspread the features of his listeners.
"It Is a fact , nevertheless , continued
Mr. Beck , " [ t was in-well , never mind
the year , but I was then secretary of
state , and court was being held in Sac-
ramento. Judge Wallace was on the
bench , and among those 'in the capital -
ital city during the session was Col.
Shafter and a number of his officers.
The colonel was accompanied by his
daughter , a very young , bright 'and
handsome girl.
"One morning at the breakfast.table
in the Golden Eagle hotel Justice Wallace
lace said : Miss Shatter , I feel quite
slighted. Since you have been in Sacramento -
ramento you have not deigned to visit
me. Won't you come up this morning
and sit with us in bane ? My colleague ,
Judge Crocker , is absent , and you might
as well occupy his seat. '
" 'Oh , yes , I'll come ; returned bus's
Shafter , and the subject was dropped ,
and I am sure that Judge Wallace never -
er dreamed that the invitation would
be accepted.
"About an hour afterward , Miss Shaf-
ter , accompanied by one of the officers
of her father's staff , came to my office
and said that she wanted to go to the
Supreme Court. Would I take her ?
With pleasure. And away we went. A
young attorney was arguing a case
when we entered the court. He did
not notice us as we quietly seated ourselves -
selves and went on with the most brilliant -
liant eloquence , Judge Wallace laid
his hand on the arm of the empty chair
and nodded to my companion to take
it.
" 'Shall I go up ? ' she asked of me.
" 'Why , certainly , ' I responded. 'It
would be discourteous to the bench not
to do so. '
"She hesitated a little , but as Judge
Wallace regarded her with a smiling
invitation and patted the chair provokingly -
ingly , she arose and firmly and with
the grace of a queen walked up the aisle
to the platform. The judges arose and
gravely bowed. Wallace stepped forward -
ward , and , extending his hand , escorted -
corted her to the vacant chair , and
each justice was presented to her in
turn and shook the tiny hand of their
dainty associate. Miss Shafter was
quite equal to the occasion , and , bowing -
ing , took her seat and let the case pro-
ceed. The young attorney , though , lost
his head , and afterward lost his case.
Whether he wished to make an impression -
sion on the new associate or whether
the strangeness of the proceedings rattled -
tled him I never learned , but he got
badly tied up in his peroration.
"What did Judge Wallace do ? Why ,
at the dinner that evening he conferred
with the new judge and insisted upon
her occupying the seat on the bench
next say. After dinner he asked mete
to take a walk with him. 'Beck ; said
he , 'if you do not bring that girl into
court in the morning I'll have proceedings -
ings instituted to declare your position
vacant. ' "
TRIED IT ON A FRIEND.
Puzzled by a Poison , the Professor Cots
Petie to Taste It.
A well-known Bohemian visited his
friend , Prof. Price , at the latter's laboratory -
atory yesterday , says the San Francisco -
cisco Post. The professor was examining -
ing a dark brown substance spread on
a paper.
"Say , Petie , would you kindly let me
place a little of this on your tongue ?
My taste has become so vitiated by
tasting all sorts of things.
"Certainly , " responded the ever-ac-
commodating Petie , thrusting out his
tongue.
The professor took up a' little of the
substance under analysis and placed it
on Petie's tongue. He worked it around
for fully a minute , tasting it much as
he would a fine confection.
"Not any effect ? " inquired the pro-
fessor.
"No , none. "
"It doesn't paralyze or prick your
tongue ? "
"Not that I can detect.
"I thought not. There are no alkaloids -
loids in it , then. How does it taste ? "
"Bitter as the dickens. "
"Um-m ; all right. "
"What is it , anyway ? " inquired Petie ,
as he spat out the hold-over taste.
"I don't know. That's what I'm trying -
ing to find out. Some one has been
poisoning horses with it out in the
Mission. "
Petie rushed' the telephone and
called up a veterinary surgeon.
Thought the Balloon the Devil.
Superstition is still very strong in
some parts of Germany. A few days
ago a balloon , sent up by the army
balloon battalion near Dantzic , and in
which two aeronauts of that corps were
studying atmospheric conditions at an
altitude of 6,000 feet , happened to pass
the district of Tuchel , inhabited by
people of the original Slav race. They
took the balloon-a thing never seen
before-to be the Szank ( or devil ) and
followed it for miles , intending to slay
it whenever it should happen to alight.
Fortunately for the aeronauts they
passed the region safely and the bullets
fired at their balloon did not reach it.
Otherwise they would have fared badly.
Advertising Pays.
If you intend to secure the trade ofi
Let us say , 65 people , $2 would not he
an unreasonable expenditure , wculd
it ? If you appeared to be succeeding ,
you might put out $1 more-possibly
$5. The proprietors of Cottolene have
started out to gain the patronage of

too ! and their expenditures for advertising -
vertising have not yet reached . $2,000 ;

Sick Dolls.
Up a rickety flight of stairs , over a
shop In this city , ! s a hospital for dolls ,
says the Washington Star. The physician -
sician In charge is a small man , with
red whiskers and a kindly eye. There
is nothing that has to do with the
anatomy of a doll which he does not
understand. What in medical parlance
is termed a compound fracture is a
trifle to his science. A lost leg he quickly -
ly replaces ; Internal disorders are "pie"
to him , while at a pinch the will put a
new head in place of an old one. Thus
every year hundreds of dolls are
brought to him and placed in his charge
for treatment. It must be a very bad
case that he pronounces hopeless. Yet
there are injuries that occur to dolls
which are past mending. For example ,
a melted face cannot be restored and it
is difficult to supply a new eye that will
fit an empty socket. But a broken
head-why , bless you ! the doctor thinks
nothing of patching it up with cement
so that it is just as strong as ever. A
most difficult job is to restore a jointed
doll that has become unstrung. Dolls
of this kind are apt to suffer from a
sort of locomotor ataxia-at all events ,
the symptoms are similar. They are
strung together with rubber strings and
to reorganize the constitution of a manikin -
kin of this description is a tedious task ,
requiring no little skill. To most folks ,
especially grown-up people , one doll is
pretty much like another. If the manikin -
kin isTroken the easiest thing is to get
another in its place. But to their child
owners dolls have a very distinct in-
dividuality. The loss of one that has
been long beloved is a positive bereave-
ment. Thus it is a fortunate thing that
the services of a physician can be ob-
tainable. His fee is variable , running
all the way from 50 cents up to $5 for
treating an expensive French doll. Most
of the patients have parted with a leg
or an arm. Another frequent form of
injury is rupture , part of the internal
sawdust escaping. This is not difficult
to remedy. Sawdust is considered the
best stuffing for dolls , though raw cotton -
ton and tow are used to some extent.
The doll doctor does not have enough
business of this kind to make a living
and so he supplements it by mounting
all sorts of dead pets.
Blossom's Revcn „ e.
Blossom is a big gray cat. She has
been in the family for seven years , and
her mistress thinks she was fully ten
when she came uninvited and took pos-
session. Her charms made her welcome
and visitors , as a rule , pet her to her
heart's satisfaction. Still she shows her
loyalty to her mistress by many feline
felicities. One day , says the Boston
Transcript , a young man came for a
short visit. He was an inveterate tease.
As there was no one else for a victm ,
he took Blossom in hand , in spite of
pleadings and protestations. Her ears
were greeted with strange terms , "Old
Rascal , " Scapegoat , " "Tramp" and lir.-
dred names , till the astonished cat did
not know what had come to her. Her
pretty ways disappeared , she fled from
his approach , and hid whenever she
could till he was out of the house. One
morning she was missing for some
hours , and was not to be found in any
of her hiding places. A loud cry from
the chambermaid revealed her where-
abouts. Blossom had revenged herself
on the visitor's nightshirt , which layin
tatters on the floor ! Pussy was scolded ,
and every one was cautioned to keep the
door shut. In vain ! The cat would find
her way in and hide till the chambermaid -
maid was through for the day , and then
the claws went to work , first on the
visitor's own clothes if they could be
found , and then on the pillow cases.
The young man tried to soothe her feelings -
ings , but she would have none of him ,
and he was glad to cut short his visit.
Blossom quickly recovered her usual
demeanor , and has never been known
to destroy atything from that d'y to
this. '
The Joke Reversed.
Near the flourishing mountain town
of Blue Ridge two thirsty citizens established -
tablished a contraband still for the sole
purpose of making a little of the ardent
for "personal purposes. " They got
everything ready , In tiptop working
order , and were soon ready for the
"doubling" to come off. The night was
set for that purpose , but three evil-dis-
posed citizens had "caught on , " and
determined as soon as the real proprietors -
tors fired up and commenced operations
they would go in , run them off and capture -
ture the plant. , The proprietors came ,
fired up , . and verything was working
smoothly when the three evil-disposed
citizens made a break and captured the
still , running the proprietors out of the
neighborhood. They sat laughing and
reveling at the huge joke they had perpetrated -
petrated , when all of a sudden they
found themseh esjooking down the barrels -
rels of six shining Winchesters in the
hands of as many determined revenue
men.
The evil citizens were promptly
cuffed and hustled off to Atlanta to
Answer to the charge of illicit distilling ,

Time for Bible Rending.
While traveling in Illinois recently
the writer noticed the brakeman on the
train after each station was passed enter -
ter the car , take a back seat and read
his pocket Bible. The occurrence impressed -
pressed him with the fct that we can
all find time to read the Bible daily ! f
we only want to. The National Presbyterian -
terian says : A class of persons who
profess to love the Bible excuse their
neglect of it by saying they have no
time for Bible reading. But is there any
person in this land who cannot command -
mand the time to read a chapter from
the scriptures every day ? It may be
doubted whether there is such a per-
son. There are many who cannot do
this and at the same time do all they
desire to do in other directions. But
that is not a reason for neglecting the
Bible. Our Bible reading should be one
of the first duties of every day. A good
rule is to read nothing else until we
have read a portion of the scripture. If
we adopt this rule , and rigidly adhere
to it , we shall never lack the time to
read at least a few verses from the
Bible. This can be done , at home , and
it can be done on a journey. The man
of the world can read his newspaper on
the cars ; if we are as much interested
in the Bible as he is in the daily news
we shall be able to read a chapter on
a railroad train. And it is always in
mind , we shall find no day too short to
read a lesson from the scriptures.
A happy I'lan.
Very many families in this country
11ve comfortably , but are uable to save
money. So when their sons and daughters -
ters are ready to start out for themselves -
selves in the world they have nothing
to give them. Many are unable to obtain -
tain a college course for the same rea-
son. A St. Louis family has hit upon
a happy remedy which could be profitably -
ably adopted by almost any family. T pen -
on the birth of a child , the head of the
house deposits in a savings bank $20 to
the credit of the child , to remain there
twenty-one years , at the end of which
time it will amount to $679.17. This sum
will be no mean dowry or will be quite
a start in obtaining a college educa-
tion.

by a Westinghouse air brake , and no

Edison's electric light or Bell's tele-

recognize the fact that public benefactors -

that they require protection for the
good of the people. By protecting them {
the public protects itself. Discoveries
that increase the comforts of life and

result of brains , study and genius , and
there is a premium on brains the world

S\'hy shouldn't women use it ? Its
discoverer is a regularly qualified physician -
sician who has made the treatment of
ailments peculiar to cabmen a life study I
anct'a life specialty. His thirty years'
practice in this special field , during ' .
which he with his staff of specialists
have successfully treated hundreds of
thousands of cases , has afforded him
01ortunities enjoyed by no one else
t , iscoverin ' , the right methods and
: the right remedies.
( rh'at lie should , for his own protec-
tion'and the protection of his patients
who are scattered all over the globe ,
take advantage of that law of which
every inventor in other fields avails
himself , is neither unprofessional nor
unbusiness like. It's good , sound cout-
mon sense.
One reason that women suffer in
silence agonies that would make
. A COWARD OF MAN
is because her inborn modesty causes
her to shrink from the ordeal of submitting -
mitting to medical examination and the Iu
stereotyped "local treatment. " When ,
finally , torture drives her to seek advice -
vice , she , unfortunately , only too often
' -falls into hands that lack the rare ability -
ity upon which her peace of mind , her
happiness , and her life depend. Instead -
stead of the treatment that makes
thousands of cures a certainty and failure -
ure almost unheard-of accident , she receives -
ceives that which makes failure a certainty -
tainty and the cure a mere accident. i'
No woman , who is tired of snffering ,
tired of doctoring , or tired of life ,
should fail to write lr. i'icrce , or to i
the World's Dispensary Medical Asso- I
elation , of Buffalo , N. V. , of which he ! ;
is President She will receive , free of I %
charge , good , sound , professional advice -
vice that will enable her to cure herself -
self at home ( if her case is curable ) , '
pleasantly , painlessly , permanetly , and
this , too , without having to undergo the '
trying ordeal of "examinations" and the
stereotyped and dreaded treatment by
"local applications. " If her case is
really incurable , she will be told so
plainly. But Dr. t'ierce's records , covering -
ering hundreds of thousands of cases ,
prove that there arc not three incurable -
ble cases in a hundred.
A GREAT BOOK FIEF

him for the great amount of labor and
money expended in producing it , he
would distribute the next half million
