THE VALUE Of MONEY

WOMEN ABE NOT ADEPTS IK THE USE OF IT.

Instincts For Pretty Thing# Play Havoc With Gold and Silver—Idea of Bank Accounts Never Occurs.

From the law to the work bench, the new "woman haa made good her claim to the ability to successfully enter all trades aiud professions, eays a writer In Kile iBalfcimore American. Her faculty as a Ibreatfwinner is no longer open to question. But it would appear that her talent for affairs stops short here, that the ibrain power completely spends Itself upon acquiring. For, it is a detplora'ble fact 'that when it comes to (husbanding her resources, wise judgment is for the most part conspicuous "by dte absence -and a enug little bank accounst seems to be'the very last thing on earth that especially appeals to ih'er.

TracMt'ton and education long ago inclined into the minds of men that what they achieve and acquire must be well on its way ibefore they are 50. The 'ball Belt rolling in early manhood may continue to 'biting it hem in an ever in creating income but the average man scarcely expects to eimbark in any great and successful enterprises after t'hat (period. Wlbh women the winning time is even shorter 'for they do not begin until late in life—'after t'he hope of a settled estabrishment ih'ae died out— stnd already at 50 the average woman ds conscious of a certain loosening of Itbe 'grasp, a lack of spring and elasticity, and a generally lotwered vitality. Jnhen comes along the younger woman, lu'breast with the times, with fresh outttook, clean grip, new ideas, and all the experience is as naugh against it. Yet Ifrom the typewriter, at $10 a week, to the singer, at ten times ten, from the tmaid in the (kitchen to the popular tactr-ess, women wage earners in America seem to live in absolute forge'tfulroees of such conditions, and are smitten to the eoul 'wlttti the mania for spending.

Case in Point.

For several years I have ibeen wa'tchdng -Wi-tJh, a sort of 'path'etic interest a youn'g count stenographer. The pluck, energy, grit, tWe aJleAness, vitality, liamd cheerfulness, the real life's Wood (that she puts into 'her vocation are reifresih'inig and inspiring to see. Night after snight she comes into her office I after a day 'in court—which means five or six hours of the most tense, concentrated, responsible work imaginable— and df a case 'has 'been ordered, out comes her machine, and she typewrites or dictates until the wee small hours. The proceeds of t'he written evidence added to her HO in a day in court frequently brings her average to $100 a iweek. iShe 'has kept this sort of thing up for nine or 'ten years, and, though B-till in her eoirly thirties, is beginning to lose something of her keenness and vital 'force. Insomnia and nervousness often claim her for the'ir own. iBut, instead of t)he good I'ittl'e bank account that she sought to have, this (benighted young woman begins eaoh season a little behind, and exerts her surplus ingenuity in "staving off creditors." ©he has no one in the least idependent upon her, 'but enjoys making expensive presents to her family, extremely 'well conditioned people. Her money goes largely into pretty frivoMties, which haven't t'he merit of being Sn good taste for the business woman. The $20 hat covered with plumes, which

Is, perhaps, deluged 'with rain during the first week of its appearance, for court must be reached at a certain (hours, showers or. no the $60 sealskin collarette which ta'kes the place of neither cloak or cape, and which, in a imomenit of abberatton from overstrained'nerves, is dropped by the wayside flowers,. bon-bons, opera tickets, even book agents com'e 'in for their share.. Amythihg. will do, apparently, eo long as it staffds between her and a jjpank account. And the $10 and $15 a week girl carries p-ut the same principle on a smaller scale. In fact, 1 know of but one -woman stenographer who has been really prudent. iS'he has earned fless than my friend, lived as well and dressed better—not so expensively, but better—and has now $6,000 at interest.

I do not Mke to think in this direction of same of the shabby older women I have sometimes seen coming into (lawyers' offices 'wit'h dimmed eyes and trembling fingers soliciting copying.

Day of Reckoning:.

I chance to know ultimately also one of the best vocal teachers in America. For twenty years her income has approached $10,000 a year. This means that during the busy season she sits day after day on her ipiano stool from S 4n t/he morning, until, perhaps, 8 at might, trying to give out method, style, and inspiration to all sorts of voices and temperaments. At 57 she is breaking. She needs now to retire and fill out the remainder of her days in g'entle, dignified ease. But it is no more possible tlian it was ten years ago. Open house, d'inner parties, gowns "up »o the limit," have absorbed the greater ipart of this generous income, and the burden, even now that its weight has come to be felt, must still ibe carried, with the occasional aid of physician, sanitarium or voyage—everything except the most needed and well earned leisure. And, you cannot escape the reflection that she could have lived as well and had as much on 'half the outlay, had she but used a tithe of the brain in spending her money that she tfiid 'in earning it.

The 'majority of singers of average jopularity-—by those I imean women rwtho have a salary of perhaps $1,000 a y-asr for a choir position and $100 or $16# tor concert engagements during tlhe season—usually start in on teaching when obWged to give up public apipearances at 45 or thereabouts, on a (capital represented by zeros. Then comes the long, hard fight for position, reputation, and pupils against great competition and just when the stalwart fighting qualities are on the wane.

It is true that a singer needs almost a constant supply of fresh gowns, fresh glow®, and various frou-frou. But there is no occasion for her trying to vie in splendor with the multi-millionaire at *whoee house she sings.

SHORTER SILVER CATECHISM.

New York World Relieves the Minds of Anxious Inquirer*. Q. All t'he stiver countries slipped down to a silver 'basis between 1S74 annj 1894 at t'he average rate of 5 cent, a year? A. Yes.

Q. tAnd same otf the bimetallic countries slipped with thetm, others are sTi(p~ pin gUnd some are now on the verge of t'he descent? A. Tes. Even the strongest—France and the United gtiartieB—onaintain tlhe par.ty with diffi­

culty, ami thie difficulty increasing. Q. What staiufe Ibetween us and the Breaking otf thiis parity? A. The treasury reserve and [to redemption of g-reenfblaekls and treasury notes in gold when gold is called for.

Q. Suiptpose the (parity should We broken by tfoe stooiptpaee of £his redemption, What would happen? A. We would 'begin eliding down ra®ddiy to a silver basis.

Q. HV?w would' this downward motion be Ehown .practically? A. By a premium on gold. Spain is trwo years down, less silver money being at a small discount in gold, tout its paiper and silver are at parity. Greece is near the bottom, watih silrver and paper alt parity. Our paper and silver will temiain at parity until gold reached 190 or thereabouts, depending upon the marfoet Value of stiver. Then, if our paper fell lower, silver would be at a preanhiim, as fit is in some "Mmeta^io and goM countries.

Q. Would itt affect- anyibody? A. ®t would affedt everybody seriously, but so -insidiously that few would know w'hat was the matter.

Q. How? A. The prflce of all Import eld commodities bougtht at gold vtaluat/ion would rise a little beyond the gold prerfiium. So would all domee't'Jc cxwmm'od'iltieis whose .price here le regulated by the price a'broad. The man who oould get 10 cent's in gold for cotton in. Liverpool wou'M sell it to the New England manuifaicftur^r for CL0 cents in silver or paper. With every domestic product for Which there is a foreign gold market the gold premium wtou/ld be added to tlhe paper-silver price lin the doimestiic market. These would include breadlst'UifBs and provisions.

Q. What produlrjtls would not ripe in value? A. Those the prices of whiicfh are fixed 'by louil conditions, those t'hat cannot be exported- ito get the gold value—eiggs, poultry,, fifeh, butter, millk, veg'etatbles, hay, fruiitls anid all faJctory or mill pnoduqtiS wihere the raw material was not affected by the foreign pr.ce, as St would Ibe wiit'h our cotton m511s.

Q. Wlhat woulld be the effect on wage® and salaries? A. They would not rise. A imiin couM not send his lalbor to London or Paris iff he could he would not get any more for at. There would' be no reason for the inflation of wages. Nothing would rise in value unless the man.awning it coufld dispose of it to some one at a higher price. This law would apply equally to wages, rents and -to lalbor products.

Q. Tthen silver inflation would not raise wages or salaries? A. There is no reason to expefct it or analogy to suiptport the belietf, ei'tlher while we were sliding down to a "silver basis'* or after we got there. Ilf we went further, to a paper bast's, and silver went to a premium, then wages would in tiime keep somewhere near the ''specie" basis, as t'hey d'id 'betlween 1S62 anid 1879, buit wlhi'le the specie (basis was silver and wages were p|aid in silver tlhey would not be affedte'd 'by small changes In its purchasing ipower, any more than they are now by any increase or decrease in. t'he puinchasting power of gold'. A paper basis raises the spricie of everything to coniform to tlhe specie behind it the sliver specie basis wouM onlly raise tlhe price of certain things for which we hiajd a foreign gold market.

Q. Cut the cos1! otf living, would be greatly increased on a silver basis? A. As we 1'ive now, yes. Coffee, tea, sugar, rice and many other coimimon •things of tihis kind would become luxuries beyond the power of the workin gjnan to 'buy. He wooiiid have to livo on w'hat wO'Ulld mat increase in Value, having only his present wages or salary to buy with.

ELI COMES OUT FOR BRYAN.

Decides to Abandon the Cleveland Democracy and Join Populism. "T have concluded to albandon the Cleveland Democracy," said Eli Perkins, "and come out for Willie Bryan, the 'boy orator and Bepulism." "Wihat are your reasons Neiw York Sun. '^Because,' 'said Eli, "Willie will do worse than Grover. Cleveland talked abou't the rich grinding the poor, but Willie is an out-and-out anarchist. Cleveland's tariff for revenue turned out to ibe a tariff for deficit. It has run us In debt a/bout $300,000,000. Now, Bryan is an avowed free-trader, and he will increase t'hat Cleveland defitoit. He will increase 'Cleveland's monthly balance of trade against us." "How w'iil he do it?" "Why, we have 'been exporting $45,000,000 worth cif si liver a year to Europe and taken their gold in return. Now, w.'th free coinage the United States will (buy this $4S,000,000 worth of silver, coin it into $96,000,000 and ihand it bacfic to the mine owners." "What else will Bryan do?' "Why he cays his free coinage Will doulble the value of our $600,000,000 worth of corn and cotton and cause England to buy these things in Ruts fc. Argentina, India and Egypt. That will increase the ibalance of trade against us $600,000,000, won't it?" "But can't foreigners bring their sTilver over here and Ibuy corn and cotton with it?" "Well, yes, they can bring Mexican dollars or India silver worth 50 cents/ on a dollar, have it .coined and douibled in value at our .mint, and then 'buy oorn and cotton with it. But they won't bring any gold. Then, won't we have lots of e.lver? Won't we? "What else will Wfillie Bryan do?" "The platform says he will buy all the railroads—140,000 miles of railroads. He'll pay for them in siver which will pay 50 per cent, profit on to the mine owner. The railroads 'Will cost $10,000,000,000. We'll have nihilists for condutors, socialists for brakemen and anarchists for engineers. Coxey will be general manager." ''But will that Jbe legal? What does our platform say?" "Legal! 'Why, we will make newlaws. iDeb6 is drafting them now. Then, if the wicked Supreme Court tries to step a strike we'll smas'h that court and put in (Popocrat judges. That is all in Willie Bryan's tpiatform. Then we'll have a 'big dascriminating income tax that Cleveland wanted, but which was headed off by the Supreme Court. We'll tax the rich man's property, and then tax this salary. We'll show you class legislation." "But where are we to get our go*d from?" "We won't need any gold. Our statesmen, P-effer, Jerry Simpson, Aligeid, Tillman and Willie iBryan, will take oare of us. Most our Mahatma, and Dennis Kearney is our saint. Gold and the (goUibugs must (get off the earih. Whoop. "Now," said Eli, "I'm going over to the (Popocrat headquarters to talk wath George Francis Train and Ollie Teale about free trade, free silver, and how we'll kill the factories, lower wages, stalb the cx»urts, increase the public dtfbt and bankrupt w«h»t l^ft otf the old reipiiblic."

STORY OF A BLUFF.

HAFPENKD IN A WILD WJB8T FOKBB GAMS MANY YXAK8 AGO.

HTC Hen With *5,000 Kmch All Wont Into a jMk Pot, sad the Man WllhMflhUl Intent Won It AIL'

A party of men. were seated around a. italle to the wine room of a well teractwn resort on the South Bide recalling Incideruts otf old times and incidentally listening to a (few .potker etaries, eays the Chicago Journal. A story iuad' just been told of otf hxw mam had beaten four aoes with a small' straight flush on a three-card dinalw wttuem one of •-the party reiafted the 'following story of -tlhe tig bluff a desperate young man onoe made. "I was out in- Washington territory," •he said, "and finding thiings 'dull in- Seattle and Portland, I took a trip to Oiympiai, where business was unusuaMy lively at tihat time- One night a merchant! named) Williams^ who played hard! ipoker and' had lots of money, a gaanibler named Auker, Harry Dupon't, tcaisiMer otf the Olyimpita National Bank a cajptain otf one otf the river steameirs, and myself started a game of draiw with no limit and $600 jack pots. "Now, young Dupont and Dick Auker, tlhe gamlbler, haS "been IbuckLng one another for a couple of weeks, and Auker had won nearly everything the young cashier had in 'the world, and although no chea'ttog had Ibeen- detected. JDupont was sore on Auker, and as he had been drinking heavily for a few day® troulbCe between the two men was feared. "Everyflbody 'bought $5,000 .wwth of checks aaid1 the game started'. For a time etveryitiMng progressed smoothly and quietly, most oif the 'hands being ordinary, anid .no one was either loser or winner to any great ertent. Dupomt •lost $500 on three 'trays,' whtoh he held agaiinisit Aulker*s flush', and immediately began to drink whisky in- large doees. Before lonjg a 'jatok pot was organized, and as- i't wenit around the talble without being opened I proposed that we doulble tiHe stakes. This was agreed to, and every one put $500 in tlhe center, making $5,000 in. the pot.

How the Game Warmed Up. "Auker was dealing, JP was next to him, with Williams next, then Dupont. and on his right sat the captain. When I looked at my haind11 found three wines, and at once opened for the size of the pot. "Of course 1 drew two card's but failed •to help. W'iilliamis stood pat, and Harry asked ifor one card. Auker in dealing 'him the card struck KTs Ean3: against a Whisky glass and tfaced the oard on. the board. It was the queeitt of hearta With an oath JDupont sprang to hie (fieet and draw a revolver. ''Auker also draw a -revolver. We interfered, William's grasping (Harry's arm while I attended to Auker. Dupo-nt charged Auker with having (faced the card purposely. Harry was" white as dealt while Auker kept tihe same iiSipasslve countenance, never changing color or showing any •brace of excitement. 3Ct last Harry proposed that they place their revolvers on the tatble and to a-lfiow Auker to deal another card instead oif the one faced. "If thrs card—fo'Dupohfs proposition went—was not a heart, 'they were to take their weapons and) fight it out to the death'. We made efforts to have Dupont! reoorisider his mad demand1, but he insi'sted, and again changed Auker with having deGlbe'rateiy faced th.3 card in order "fo ruin his hand. By this time every one "^a'r^fie'd that toeheld four hearts ana tnat"" bj^j3 eslperati'on was campfd —n? rr" The oard which would have made a flush for him had it not been fajced.

He Accepts the Challenge.

"Auker grew furious when accused of cheating and quickly offered -to accept Dupont's wifd proposition. Tlhey placed their revolvers iln. front ctf them on the table and (then, we sat watching breathlessly for the ifstelful card'. "Quietly Auker picked up the cards, drew the top card, and threw it face up Ibelfore Dupont. "It was the elght-ispot of hearts. "Not a word wais spoken. I 'mechamioa.lf.y made a small 'bet, whi'oh Williams called. Then' Dupont shoved all -his chips and money into the center. The captai'n passed out andi the resit of us d'id .likewise^ "Dupont quietly-gathered up the chips and -money, while we looked on, and then-, rising from the table, he turned his cards over and spread them out. He had four olulbs and the eight of hearts. ^Gentlemen,' he said, 'I will never play cards again. If I had lost that money I would have go.ne straight to my room and ©hot myself. I was using money that 'belonged to the bank, but .but have enough here to square myseuf and' will quit gambling for good.' "It seems he had caught a flash of the card underneath the one accidentally faced and knew it was red, but whether a diamond or a heart he could not ie'Ii. As neither wouid help hits ha.nd he conceived the idea of making the bluff. ha.ving one chance ifor lite and one for de'a-'Uh' and dishonor."
