Democracy of Maine was pledged to Mr. Winslow. To this letter of notification Mr. Vinslow reHied as follow: "The platform adopted by the State convention, which has declared for a, single potd standard. I ilaln. and It was upon that platform that I was nominated, and I could not. even had I so desired, accepted this nomination under any other circumstances than to stand firmly on the platform made by the Democratic party of Main'. - The Democratic national convention adopted a platform declaring for the free and unllmted eolnaco of silver and there was a Ftrons pressure brought to bear to have me announce myself In favor of the national convention, which I did riot consider was right to do In accepting the nomination as It was tendered to m by the State convention. T hive niven no expressions up to the present time as to what I should da, but have civen the matter a preat deal of thought and study and see but one thing for me to do and stand as I wish to with i the people of Maine. That is to decline the nomination so kindly tendered rne. and I assure- you that no one regrets this more than I do. "It is very evident from the free expressions of opinion that if I wish to secure the vote of the Democratic party I shall be obliged to harmonize with both gold and silver platforms and that I cannot do under any circumstances."

8GLECTED FOR COXGRES8 IX THE ' MT1I OVER Bl RKIIARDT. Former Republican to Make the Race ob a Free-Silver Platform Afralnst Charles II. Landla. Fpeelal to the Indianapolis Journal. VEEDKRSBURO. Ind.. July 2d. The Democratic county convention, the ratification of the national Democratic convention and the Populist Ninth congressional convention drew a good hg crowd to this city yesterday. There were several rough and tumble fights. The Inducements for the largest crowd ever seen In the county wer. given. Excursions on all railroads were run. candidate for Governor Shlvely was booked for a speech, as well as Mike Foley and candidate for the nomination of Conpressman from this district'Calamlty Jim" Flppen. but larger crowds ha,ve been seen here with less attractions. The big event of the day was the congressional convention. Mr. Burkhardt. a dyed-ln-the-wool Populist, and a credit to his party, was a candidate before the convention, and fought hard for the nomination, but Joseph P. Cheadle. a sore Republican, soured that honor. Burkhardt's friends are disgusted, and they will not support the nominee. A bolt being in fashion, it Is supposed they will do that. At any rate Cheadle will not carry the strength of his new party. Charles B. Landls, the Jlepublican nominee will carry this county by. probably, 500 majority. Carroll Connty Organised. Fpcial to the Indianapolis Journal. DELPHI, Ind., July 25. The Republicans have completed their organization in Carroll county, and the chairman of the commltteereports the party In better fighting trim than it has been In many years. Meetings have been held In every township, and men who were willing to take up the work of the party were never before so numerous or eager. Captain John M. Worrell made three speeches In this county last week, closing on. Friday night at Camden, where he spoke in the big Odd Fellows Hall to "standing room only." All his meetings were large and enthusiastic, as he is a irreat favorite In this county. The Bryan nomination Is coldly received here and there Is not a township in Carroll county that will not furnish a number of sound-money Democratic votes for McKinley. Frank Posey at Illoomtngton "pedal to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOM INC5TON. Ind.. July 26. The Republicans held one of the most successful meetings last night In the history of the party, and a McKinley Club of 0)0 members was organized. Hon. Frank B. Posey was the speaker and talked almost "exclusively on the financial question, making an eloquent and convincing argument. In which he presented all the Important legislation In reference to silver. The address was one of the strongest ever given In Bloomington. Hon. A. M. Hondley. Republican club organizer for the Second -district, presided. Jurist Taylor at AVln,cheater. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER. Ind.. July 2t. Hon. R. S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne, addressed an overflow meeting at the opera house in this city last night. Judge Taylor's speech was entirely devoted to the money question, and the fair and comprehensive way in which he treated it has settled the matter in the minds of many voters who were formerly In doubt. , THE OHIO ON A TEAR. Orrr Thirty-Five Feet -Abore I.orv Mater and Still Rising. CINCINNATI. July 23. Though the day Is cl-ar here tc-iught the change In the temperature, rushing the mercury higher up In the 80s. causes apprehension of more rain and an accession to the flood In the Ohio. Reports from all points above here on the Ohio as far as Wheeling show the stream rising. At Cincinnati at 10 o'clock to-night the river stood 33 feet 1 inch above low water, having risen thirteen inchea In four hours, or thre and one-quarter inches per hour. The rate of rise, moreover, is increasing hourly. There seems to be no doubt that the Ohio River railway In the vicinity of Parkersbur? and the Baltimore & Ohio, from Parkersburg east, have about resumed traffic. Great forces have been employed repairing washouts In Ohio and It is fair to presume that all the roads embarrassed by the floods will resume to-morrow, except those among the bad washouts In the Muskingum valley. Repairing the Road. GOLDEN. CoL, July 25. A large gang of workmen began the repairing of the Gulf road up Clear Creek canyon to-day. They could not give even an approximate estimate of the damage, but they will probably be able to get trains through to Georgetown in two weeks." The road for about seven miles must be almost wholly rebuilt, as the bed Is washed out or burled under great masses of rock and dirt. Specials from southern, Colorado say that the Denver & Rio Grande will be running trains on its lines by Monday and advices from Florence say the Florence & Cripple Creek road will be open for traffic by the end of the week. At Catskill. Col., the Gulf depot was -was.hed away during Saturday's storm, the agent and his wife narrowly escaping. Some of the Flood Damnge. WHEELING. W. Va.. July 2C Early this morning traffic on the fourth division of the Baltimore &; Ohio was lesumed. The train for th east, at 12:13 a. m.. was the first to go through. The damage inflicted to the railroad by the flood Is very heavy. In the town of Manr.lngton the damage is estimated at fl.i0.0i4). the South Pennsylvania Oil Company befnjf the heaviest loser. ThOhlo Valley railroad over the river will not be open to traffic for three weeks. Limit Iniaed. Buffalo Courier. A French traveler describes American street can; as "packed to the. verge of indecency." It must have been due to the traditional French polluness that so moderate statement of the case was made. All Americans except street-railway managers regard the "verge of Indecency" as long ago passed. Didn't ULe the Color. Washington Post. "Janitor." paid Senator Stewcrt. Jmt hefort leaving St. Iuis.

HOW VANDERBILT FELL

STIUCKKX AVITII PARALYSIS WHILE Ql'ARRELIN'C; WITH HIS SON. Stormy Scene Because the Boy Was Determined to Wed Ml Wilson The Murrlage n Certainty. NEW YORK. July r.-Th recent sfrlous Illness of Cornelius Vanderbilt la ftill the theme for talk here. Many of Mr. Vanderbilt's most Intimate friends and associates have expressed the utmost surprise that one of his physique should have been the victim of a paralytic stroke, especially when his abstemious life and habits arc taken into consideration. No event wiich has ever happened In this generous, courtly gentleman's life has ever affected him so much as the determined effort by his son, Cornelius, jr.. to marry Miss Grace Wilson, and the cause for this terrible blow Is new told for the first time and Is vouched for fully. As far back as last August young Vanderbilt. who has since proven himself a young man of great determination, confided to his father his desire to make Mi?s Wilson his wife. At first the Vanderbilts. the father especially, smiled and said nothing, and made no serious opposition to the young man's suit, believing that his feeling's would In time die out. A trip for him was planned, first abroad, then West, but he stubbornly refused to leave New York. Miss Wilson had shown a great and decided preference for young Vanderbilt. but no one of her set had evervdreamed that she contemplated so serious a Ftep as matrimony with the boy, for the discrepancy in their ages made every one think that she was only amusing herself with him. It Is stated now. however, that at a tea given last February to a lot of girls she positively affirmed her Intention of marrying young Vanderbilt. ard so the news commenced to spread rapidly. It naturally got to the ears of Mr. Vanderbilt, and In consequence a stormy interview was held between the father and son early in April. The father first gently pleaded, then commanded. The son showed perfect indifference to the wishes of his father, and, remaining obdurate, went at once to the home of Miss Wilson and Implored their engagement bo formally announced. - A meeting of the Wilson family was held, and they were then made fully cognizant of the violent opposition to the union of the voung neople. Notwithstanding all this and knbwine that the young man's career In life wouM be seriouslv affected. If not completely blighted, the Wilsons gave a dinner at which the announcement of their daughter's msrringe In Mav to young Vanderbilt was made and duly chronicled. VANDERBILTS l CODICIL. Mr. Vanderbilt at once made a codicil to his will, cutting off his eldest son with JG.000 a year In trust Invested. The wedding did not occur In May. for the deHcate lad was attacked by Inflammatory rheumatism and the event was postponed, at first indefinitely, and then set for the first week In August. Daily the lines deeped in the face of the anxious father and his friends knew that his mental trouble and anxiety for his son's happiness and health were making sad Inroads on his own health. As a l3st resort a week ago Tuesday morning Mr. Vanderbilt went, with Drs. Janeway and McRurney. to admonish the obdurate, young man against the step he was about to take and to urge him to travel and regain his shattered health. Young Vanderbilt declared that nothing would move him: that no power could make him alter his determination to make MlssjWi'son his wife, and that. If need be. he would repudiate the whole family which loved him so dearly. it was at this juncture that Mr. Vanderbilt "arose, his face livid with rage and anger, but before the anathema which he would have hurled at hH disobedient son could be uttered he clutched at his throat and fell from a stroke of paralysis which startled the world. When it was announced that death might follow, Mrs. Vanderbilt and her (laughter went to her son. who persistently refused to approach his father, and pleaded with him to ask forgiveness of his father and seek a reconciliation. This young Vanderbilt refused most positively to do. and then Mrs. and Miss Vanderbilt went on their knees and prayed the boy to do as they asked. He stubbornly refused to see his father or to Inquire as to his condition. Since. Mr. Vanderbilt has been conscious and haa been ablo to talk he has requested that the marriage be at least postponed until late In the fall, but even this request, it is undeistood. has been denied. Dr. Cluuncey M. Depew called at the residence of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt last right. He reached the house a little lefore 7 o'clock and remained nearly an hour. hen Dr. Depew was asked about the condition of Mr. Vanderbilt he said: THE MILLIONAIRE BETTER. "He Is all right and is being well taken care of. He will soon again be in his usual healthy condition. All he needs is rest complete rest freedom from his business cares for a short time. I was pleased to see him in such good condition, for after the first report I received I was led to fear that the attack had been a very serious one. He will be all right in a very short time. Ife received me with much cf his usual cordiality and pleasantry." Dr. Depew declined to say anything about the report that Mr. Vandcrbl't had been stricken while In a stormy scene with hia son in connection with his marriage to Miss Grace Wilson. He said it was a subject that concerned only the family. It was learned yesterday that Mr. Vanderbilt had returned from Newport at o'clock on the morning that he-was stricken down. His wife and daughter accompanied him. They breakfasted on board their private car. and upon reaching the city were driven at once to thejr resUler.ee. Young Cornelius Vanderbilt hud been out driving In the park and had only just returned home ahead of his parents. Mr. Vanderbilt is said to have greeted his son cheerily and remarked that he was getting along finely for a sick man. The young man Is said to have answered that he did feel better, in fact he felt well enough to pet married. The conversation then led ui to the anry words which passed between father and son. and the stroke of apoplexy which caused such alarm. Dr. Depew and Miss olllns dined at the Waldorf last night. She is the young woman who. It has been rumored. Dr. Depew Is soon to marry. She came over from .Europe. It H understood, to attend to some business matters and will return a week hence. Miss Graee Wilson, the fiancee of Cornelius VanJerbilt. jr.. left the city yesterday afternoon. She returned to the rummer home at Bay Shore. I. I., where she will probably remain until arrangements are made. for the marriage. It Is said that it will take place as soon as young Mr. Vanderbilt is fully recovered from his present Illness. Dr. Depew, when asked about the marriage of younr Conifiius to Miss Wilson and that of Miss Vanderbilt to Mr. Whitney, said that both weddings would take place soon. It all depended upon the state of Mr. Vanderbilt's health, he said. Dr. McLane, who has been In almost constant attendance on Mr. Vanderbilt since he was stricken; twelve days airo. decided yesterday that it would be safe for him to have the patient tor the night. He said that Mr. Vanderbilt had so far recovered as to render it unnecessary to maintain a close watch on him longfr. Yesterday the stagt-s and other vehicles were allowed to take their usual coarse along Fifth avenue. Vanderbilt (ione to Xcuport. NEWPORT, R. I.. July M.-Cornelius Vanderbilt arrived at C o'clock this evening on F. W. Vanderbilt's yacht Conqueror. He was taken off his yacht at the New York boat landing and conveyed to The Breakers in a Berlin coach. It was stated at the Breakers that Mr. Vanderbilt had withstocd the voyage excellently: that he was much Improved In health and that appearances indicated that he would speedily recover from his recent apoplectic stroke. Competition In Brushes. Washington Post. "I was In one of the principal hotels In San Francisco lately." said Mr. D. P. Edgar, of Boston, at the Hotel Page, "and happened to pa .s a Iarje. brilliantly lighted room where a drummer was dlsnlnving a tremendous exh'.bit of brushes 'of every sort known to the trade, hair brushes, blacking, brushes, clothe brushes, and. In short, a complete collection. I was Interested in the display, and engaged the drum

mer in conversation. He was a bright young fellow, and a native of New England. "He showed me a handsome hair brush. solid black, well made, and asked me what I supposed he could sell them for.- I was astonished when he named 53.50 per dozen as his jobbing price. 'Where on earth do you get them?' said I, and he answered. 'In Japan.' " 'These brashes." he continued, 'couldn't be produced in this country at $.50 per dozen, but my profit at $3. .7) Is more than I'd care to ndmlt. I am going all over tho country taking orders, and I'll make all the money I'll need for a long time on this trip.' "Now. what can we do in the face of such competition? How can the United States protect itself against the products of a country where 10 cents a day is a hlKh price for labor? Frankly. I don't see any way to leat the game of the smart and imitative Orientals, for you can't make a tariff high enouch to offset the difference between labor which demands ?2 a day and that which is content with a compensation of 10 cents. In this rapidly growing ability of the Japs to compete with our own people lies a question of more magnitude than free sliver or any other economic question of the day." NOTED CRIMINAL DIES

Phillips will be In shaoe to go In about Wednestfav. His knee is sore, but much better. Wiley Davis will .probablv pitch to-morrow. Monroe's return to the box seems a bit Indefinite. He narrowly escaped losing an eye in that wire accident last week. Dylnar Shade Tree. To the Editor of th Indianapolis Journal: The covering of the streets with asphalt and cement completely excludes and carries away all moisture, except dew,' that might keep the trees alive. The nalural result Is death. 'The pouring of watnr In a tile near the root may sustain a sickly Ilfft la

the tree, but It can never produce a' vigorous growth: can never make a shade tree worthy the name. The roots of trets spread out beneath the soil for yards around In a tine network. Only a few trees, such as the walnut, hickory and some other of the nut bearers, have tap roots running straight down and reaching moisture below. Everybody knows this who knows anything about the growth and habits of trees. There must be a moist surface around the tree to make n healthy. If our residence streets are graveled in the roadways and paved with brick on the sidewalks quite a supply of moisture will go down through the soil. Even then some assistance must be given to nature by watering through sprinklers and tiles at various points. Our climate is becoming much more dry than formerly, and we will have to report to irrigation frequently; perhaps not in every season, but in dry seasons, all vegetation will need artificial help. Trees and shrubs. If neglected, where there is no asphalt or cement, die for want of moisture In the. soil, but when we add the placing of an Impervious coat of cement find as. phalt the certainty of death, in a short time, must become universal. In the residence portion of a city gravel roadways and brick pavements are good enough and will allow some water to percolate the soil, and even this will not always be sufficient. But to put down that which completely excludes and carries off all moisture looks like a deliberate effort to destroy the chief beauty and comfort of our residence streets. If we had avenues, like Washington city, two hundred feet wide, with grass plots and small parks, we could safely pave with water-proof material, but almost all of our residence streets outside of the cen tral square mile are much less than the ninty-feet-wide rule that governs th-m. Many Dersons think that'a tree, nlanted like a fence post, oupht to grow and make shade. But If an account had been kept of the trees set out In this city showing the number that have died under this treatment he would find that it exceeded the living fovr to one. A tree in the street needs nursing, watering and a moist soil, with a surface exposed to air. Indianapolis. July 21. CITIZEN. STATE LEAGUE oiENS

HRYAX AMI N HUH ASK A. Injury the Populist Lender's Ranting; In DoIiir to llln Own State. Omaha Bee. Mr. Bryan's candidacy has brought Nebraska Into unenviable prominence in beintr made the subject of odious comparison and disparaging comment. Already the reflex of the repudiation sentiment expressed by Mr. Bryan in the speech to which he owes his nomination has subjected Nebraska to aspersions that are not calculated to raise her people In the esteem of the commercial world. A more damaging arraignment of Nebraska's commercial Integrity could hardly have been framed than Is contained in the Chicago Tribune's comment on Mr. Bryan'3 diatribe against the moneyed people of the Atlantic States. Says the Tribune: Bryan declared that "the men on 'the broad and fertile praries were fighting for 'homes, families and posterity' against the 'aggrandized wealth' of the people cf the Atlantic coast." That sounds, when pronounced in tremulous tones with tears streaming down his nose, very pahetie ami moving. But what does it all mean? Who has invaded those prairie homes and trampled upon their inhabitants? We ask because Bryan ring in that piece of declamation in all his speeches. The cold, naked facts are that the citizens of the Atlantic States have loaned ind furnished the money by ten3 of millions which grldlroned the prairies cf Mr. Bryan's own State and all the other States with railroads, and made it possible to transport their products to market. Was that a crime for which they should be runiihed by the "watering" of the Nation's currency? Bryan did not go into that aspect of the case. The citizens of Nebraska. Kan. has and other prairie 'States sent their agents to the East and borrowed tens of millions of dollars to speedily improve their farms in a state of nature and build uj their cities and towns, so that thost- raw prairies micht be made productive, profitable and comfortable. Was it by these means that the b'oody-mlnded East'.has oppressed the people of Nebraska and tho Platte country, about which Bryan howls and rages and calls for confiscation of their loans? The Eaf t and Europe are loaning, at rates about half those charged twenty years ago. the money with which prairie houses and barns have been built and farms wirefenced and stocked. Was that a. crime to;be punished by the watering of the currency of the country on the false ratio of sixteen to cticT Bryan did not tell, nor did he explain, how the men of the prairies are to be benefited by that money watering, nor how this country would be made more independent of England thereby. He did declare with high emphasis that "mankind should not be crucified on a cross, of gold." but he did not expiain why it should be crucified on a cross of cheap silver and be defrauded out of Its saved earnings.

UNCLE SAM AND THE SENATOR. Thlrd Interview.) Undo Sam adjusted hi3 glasses, for It was about time for the morning papers to arrive. There was a very perceptible nervousness manifested by the Senator: in fact. It seems to partake of a nervous chill. In came the bearer of the Indianapolis Journal, of July 21, It Is necessary, in times like these, when the politicians are quite regardless "of truth, that every matter concerning Uncle Sam and his nephews be correctly stated In detafl; so, as Uncle Sam had not told the Senator he was through with him, and the hour was ntar when the paper would arrive, the Senator Increased In nervousness, squirming on his chair, hoping a word of dismissal would be spoken by his uncle. The glasses were carefully wiped, the Journal taken In hand. Looking on the first page these words greeted Uncle Sam: "All for Bryan; Republican bolters land in the Democratic camp." "Jewhllikens! Whew! What does this mean?" said Uncle Sam; "Senator, what the mischief does this mean? You and six others have Isseud an address to the balance of my nephews. Backsliding, as 1 live. What do you mean by such actions? You said In our first interview you were 'mad. It seems you are quite Insane; worse than mad bereft of reason. Do you Dubois. Mantle, Hartman. Wilson. Shafroth nnd Stevenson think you will fool all the rest of my nephews to turn away from the experience of your Uncle, who, for over one hundred years, has been teaching every one of you to do what Is rtght? Have none of you any regard for the law given on Mount Sinai against covetousness? Has the handling of so much silver Increased your dee for more, till, rot satisfied with minting your silver at 16 to 1. now, when It is worth only 32 to 1 you require all my nephews to debase the currency now on hand, as well as that minted in the future, 50 per cent? And if you have nq, regard for the laws of Mount Sinai, I now desire to call your attention to what I said April 2 17P2. not dreaming that any one outside the mint would dare think of debasing the currency. In Section 19 of that act it reads: 'That if any of the. gold or silver coins which shall be struck or colned at the said mint shall be debased or made worse as to the proportion of fine gold or fine silver therein contained, or shall be of less weight or value than the same ought to be, pursuant to the directions of this act, through the default or with the connivance of any of the officers or persons who shall be employed at the said mint, for the-purpose of profit or gain, or otherwise with a fraudulent Intent, and if any of said officers or persons shall embezzle any of the metals which shall nt any time be committed to their charge for the purpose of being coined, or any of the coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint, every such officer or person who shall commit any or either of the said offences, shall be deemed guilty of felony and ehall suffer death? Now, you see what I thought of the business of debasing my coins In 1792. What, should I think when quite a parcel of nephews, masquerading under the name of Democracy, with most fraudulent Intent, threaten, not only to debase one coin, but to so legislate that every dollar of silver I have made, some of which have cost me more than they were worth, notably those coined under the act of teb. 155. 1S7S. for which I paid 10.M3, only worth as bullion, ninety-one and ninety-four onehundreths cents; those of July 14. ISitO, cost ninety-two and forty-four hundreths of a cent, worth seventy-one -and a half cents, and that all this coinage shall be debased by act of Congress, to-wlt: $423,239,219, till my nephews will only realize therefrom but $2il.64l.609.50? . "Can you Imagine any act more fraudulent? Would it not be better to let the officers and persons employed at the mint embezzle all the money coined, the metal placed there for coinage, and suffer death therefor, than to set such j. grand example of rascality as purposed by this newvamped Altgeldlan-Tillmanlzed-Populistic-Democracy? By the eternal, you shan't do so mfameus an act. If you do. then all my life will I regret that in 17i2, when I prescribed death as a penalty for debasing the coin In the mint. I did not also make death the penalty for debasing the coin In Its usage among my nephews. Possibly that would have stopped this foolish craze. Are you determined to enrleh the silver kings of Colorado and that neighborhood at the expense of the other 61.000.000 of my nephews. If you have no regard for the commandment delivered on Sinai against covetousness, neither for what I ordered in 17S2 against debasing our coin, but will blindly and in a headstrong manner endeavor to carry out your baneful purpose, you. Dubois. Mantle and others, may I remind you of the old saying. 'History repeats Itself?', Did you ever hear of a silver transaction that occurred over 1.900 years ago? There were twelve devoted followers of One 'who spake as man never spake.' A new life had dawned on them. A new commandment had been given. Thou shalt love the Lord thy Oiod with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This Is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto It, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.' That's a better law than my law of 172. Would you not have thought that twelve men. who had enjoyed for years teaching in that strain, would have been true, loyal. faithful to their preceptor? Would you not conceive that every covetous desire, thought or emotion would have been destroyed In the hearts and minds of men so placed? It seems to have been necessary that one should be treasurer. Did the handling of coins make a temptation? Does familiarity with silver breed selfishness, covetousness? Why did this one, quite favored as treasurer, let the jingle of greed compel treachery debasing thought treason in place of loyalty? More silver. More money. He had no dally press then to summon others to Join In his treachery; no silver-tongued boy on the Platte to command. (By the way. has not the idea of a silver tongue been somewhat damaged the la.;t week or two?)" No imaginary want or starvation to appeal to; no opportunity to appeal to the people saying: 'The producers of wealth are not receiving fair and proper compensation for their labor whether In field, factory cr mine when, in fact, as reported by the Senate committee March 3. lMtt. the relative wages In all occupations, from 1S40 to l'Ol. bad advanced from S7.7 points In ISIrt, to 100 points in lS'X), and frcm that to 160.7 points in lwl. If there was no business, why advance wages to men having nothing to do? "Is it not true that this discontent Fpoken o'f in your appeals is owing altogether to the effort made by my nephew Wilson to change the protection of ail my nephewa who have to labor, ro that they -ould rot have to compete with labor over Jie ea? And Is not your appeal only trying to throw dust Into my nephews' eyes, and silver dust at that? But stop. When I commenced to read your appeal I forgot the history I was trying to bring to your mind. This treasurer concerning whom I was talking, get his thirty pieces jf sliver. (How much did you seven et? Oid -oti make a fair divide? Because if you did i:ot, loo!: out for breakers.) This m ot his thirty pieces. The record doesn't tell us. but don't you think they bunu-d in his tickets? Else why did he go to the men he so'd out to end say. I have nneci In that I have betrayed innocent Voo 1. tl'id you boys do that way? No; the preM sas you gloat In your treachery.) The rvply'ts made. Wiat is that to us? see thou" to that.' Ah. yes, now I understand the rrctive for your apoeal. It is to tii.le the effect of your tiachery to the princin'es ami integrity f the party that irive you distinction and prominence. But tno record goes on and teds that 'he cast down the pices of silver in the temple anj ". parted and went and hanged himself.' Bad vntiin for a traitor. Can you point the mo-al? "What siall I do with you boys? You seem determined to ruin all my nephews. You want JG1.0JD.OO.) of the nephews and nieces to pay tribute to the other Jl.ixW.irjO; to take their 22 to 1 silver, coin it free Into dollars at 15 to 1.

Would he not have been better off p., utation. time, possibly In eternity, tt. the record he fnade, Influenced by thirty puces of sliver, back of which was a covetous, traitorous heart. In fact. Senator, this wordy appeal you have made makes me sick at heart. I know it will amount to nothing, so far as inducing your cousins to follow your lead. But how It tears my heart to think that, after all the experience of the world, and especially these last IT) years of my life, in spite of all my teachings, all the trouble I have had to train you ripht. you seem as ungrateful to me as Judas was to his teacher. Now, you know it hurts me to speak so plain. I don't want you throw down the silver and depart and hang yourself. Throw down the sliver. Depart from your bad. new found ussQclatea.

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.

The influence of women upon the civilization of th3 world, could never be measured. Because of her, thrones have , been established and destroyed. The Cash of her eye, the touch of her hand, and we have tho marvellous power cf women, glorious in the possession of perfect physical health. Lydia E. Finkhani, by her wonder ful discovery of tho Vegetable Compound," has done much to place this .great power in the hands women. She has lifted thousands and thousands out of the misery brought by the womb, and all the evils that follow diseases of the uterus. The "Vege table Com- . pound" restores natural cheerfulness, de stroys despondency, eures backache, strengthens the muscles, restores tha womb to its normal condition, and you are changed from a physical wreck to the joy of your home and friends. Uy the way the leading druggists tell us that the demand for Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound U simply beyond their power of understanding, and, whqt. is best of all, it does the work and cures where the best physicians utterly fail, r NATIONAL Tube Works WroLht-iron Pipe for Gas, Steim and Water.
