Toronto Bankers Tell How They Would Cash American Drafts Cutler Bryan— £100 Yankep Money for 9100 Canada.

Toronto, Oct. 25.—"Should W. J. Bryan elected in November, would a Canadian living in the United States be able to pay |100 into an American bank or postoffice and receive a draft or money order for the Bame amount?"

This question, which is full of interest to the United States, to relatives or other persons in Canada, was asked of the two most prominent financiers that Canada possesses. B. E. Walker, general manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, an institution whose New York and Chicago agencies have millions loaned in the states, Baid in answer to the question: "I do not hesitate to sax that, should the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 become the law of the United States, ?100 of the then current money of the United States would certainly purchase a very small amount in the shape of a draft payable in Canada. While the difference between $100 of American money on a silver basis and the same amount of Canadian money might not, immediately on the passage of such a law, be represented by the anti-re difference .between the market Value of sixteen parts of silver and one of gold, In my opinion within a few weeks $100 of jUnited States money on a silver basis would be equivalent of only ?50 or $55 of Canadian money."

George Hague, general manager of the Merchants' Bank of Canada, an institution with nearly forty branches, and whose capital and reserve fund reaches $9,000,000, prefaced his opinion by saying: "The Canadian banks, having had twelve years of experience after the civil war, know pretty well how to act should the currency of the United States again become depreciated. The banks would open a gold account with each of their American agencies. All transactions would be in gold, and all drafts and remittances would be payable in this coin." "What in your opinion would be the first important result of the election of Mr. Br'yan?" "Should Mr. Bryan put Into effect the silver legislation to which the Democratic party is pledged, it would result in a regular quotation in New York of gold at a pre-" tniuin, Just as it was during the war. Further," said Mr. Hague, "I am pretty sure it would aJso result in the reopening of the gold exchange in New York, where gold would be dealt in exactly as produce is dealt in at the corn exchange."

Premiums on Uruftii.

"Would a Canadian living In Chicago be able to pay $100 in American money into a Chicago bank and receive a draft payable In Canada for the same amount?" "Dediidedly not. Those Canadians living In the states who wished to remit money to personB in Canada would have to pay a very heavy premium, probably about $160 for a draft of ?10Q. It would be an absurdity to suppose that Canada or other nations would accept the proposition put forward by the United States that sixteen parts of silver are equal to one part of gold. In the past the government has followed the action of the banks, and it certainly would do so again. This means that the operation of the money order system will be radically changed. The American postoffices will be forced to demand gold or the same premium as the banks for all money orders irawn on Canada."

Thomas Fysshe is the cashier of the bank Df Nova Scotia, which loans several millions every year to the grain merchants of Duluth and Minneapolis. "What would you give me for a $100 draft payable in Duluth under a free coinage kw?" he was asked. "Fifty-three dollars," said Mr. Fysshe.

BREACH-OF-PROMISE NOVELTY.

The Fatherless Alan 1b In Africa Just Now, On the stock exchange what are called deferred shares are a recognized form of security and, although they may bear no interest for the time being, they sometimes prove in the long run a very profitable investment, sayB the London Telegraph. The honor of first applying this form of speculation to breach of promiso of marriage undoubtedly belongs to Mrs. Mary Rosenberg, fur machinist, also a prepossessing -widow of 28, •whose Implicit reliance on the honesty of Mr. Israel Katze ended in chagrin and disappointment. The parties resided in Aldgate. A casual meeting ripened into friendship and friendship blossomed into a promise of marriage, under the rosy halo of which Katze borrowed £10 from his too-conflding sweetheart. Then his ardor cooled. Finally it froze altogether. and, after faithlessly plighting his troth to another, he went to South Africa. Mrs. Rosenberg brought an action for breach of promise of marriage against htm in the High court, which, being undefended, was remitted to the sheriff of Middlesex to assess the damages. Mr. Bertram Jacobs, tho solicitor who appeared for the lady, explained that there was no present expectation of obtaining whatever damages the Jury might give, but, as a gentleman who went to Africa often made fortunes and longed to return to England to prove the fact to tho public, the verdict might Ultimately become of value to her. In other words, it would form a deferred security. The jury awarded her £150 damages. Mr. Katze now knows what he has to meet, and the sooner he comes back the less interest will he have to pay.

Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 25.—Some remarkable experiments have been conducted at the

laboratory of Michigan uni-

versity lately.. Prof. H. S. Carhart had charge of the experiments and was assisted by Dean V. C. Vaughn of the medical de~ 1 partment and Drs. W. J. Herdman and F.

"Has your bank taken any steps to proBride for such a contingency?"

This they, dislike very much to do, but they have no alternative."

apparatus. A new induction coil stood on la table. Four cells of a storage battery stood under the table. A resistence coil stood alongside. A few scraps of insulated wire, a pair of Crookes tubes and a curious looking box completed the equipment. It was soon explained that this box was the important element in the experiment. The spectator was to glue his eyes to the opening at the small end and look hard at the black pasteboard in front of him. The room was then darkened and the battery turned on, a new Crookes tube of great power being put in the circuit. As soon as the box was turned toward the tube the inky darkness of the interior of the box disappeared and 'the black pasteboard became grayish white, like a pane of ground glass. I Professor Carhart then thrust his hand 'between the tube now brilliant with the peI culiar greenish phosphorescent light that 'accompanies the production of the rays, and every bone became distinctly visible oq the pasteboard screen, surrounded by a cloudy outline, showing the limits of the fleshy covering. The ray photograph is shadowy, vague and unsatisfactory compared to the results obtained in this new manner. The -thinnest gauze more ob scures an object to the eye in sunlight than manner. The thinnest gauze more obscure the bones in Prof. Carhart's hand,

Then his wrist was put in and his arm to the shoulder. The wrist was turned, the elbow flexed and straightened, and the arm twisted back and forth. It was like watching a skeleton in a slight haze mysteriously endowered with the power of self emotion The clothing was no hindrance to the vision, the rays passing through clothing as readily as the naked flesh.

Then Dr. Novy tried a few objects in the field, and finally sat before the tub and allowed the spectators to count his ribs, examine the condition of the sternum and clavicle, and suddenly it was discovered that the heart was visible and that its pulsations could be watched and counted. The heart was misty in outline, not distinct like the bones but there it was, moving regularly, and the spectator counted its pulsations while Dr. Herdman stood with his finger on Dr. Novy's pulse to verify the count and make sure it was not the flickering of the light that misled the eye.

The inside of the screen to the curious box was covered with a layer of tungstate of calcium, by means of which layer the rays were transferred into rays of light that effect the eye, thus making the ray visible. An effort will bo made after awhile to fix a large screen in a doorway, so that all of a large audience in a dark room can see the pictures simultaneously, the room supplanting the box. In this way the whole skeleton of a man may perhaps be shown at once and at the same time walking about.

GATHERED FROM EVERYWHERE.

A Constantinople reporter says that during the recent riot the consuls of the various powers arranged that as many Armenians as possible should go aboard the different ships in the harbor and escape massacring. This humane action was terminated in an embarrassing way, as the Turkish government refuses to allow the landing of the refugees.

The dramatizing of successful novels may sometime lead to international complications. In his early^ays as a writer, J. M. Barrie sold the American rights of his "The Little Minister" to an American ifirm. Recently, while in London one of the Frohmans bought of Mr. Barrie the American rights to the dramatization of the story. Meanwhile, the American publishers, who claimed "all rights" were specified in the original contract, have sold the stage right to A. M. Palmer. Now, there's high war, the outcome of which is eagerly awaited.

About tho time the theaters let out in 'Philadelphia the other night considerable amusement was created by a "bicycle jag. 'a man who had drank too much had been [placed on his bicycle by his friends, who were, doubtless', in the same condition, and started homewards. The queer thing was that the inebriated gentleman had no difficulty in keeping his seat, though he had no control of his wheel. No sober man could have ma,de turns in such short compass and no beginner could have cut such eccentric twirls and figures. When the man had rid­{the den three blocks it was estimated he had really covered over three miles.

Dr. Prinzing, a Leipzig scientist, says ithat of all nations the Germans have 'strongest tendency to suicide and that this tendency is aggravated by the habitual use !of brandy as a beverage. Excessive beer drinking produces suicide indirectly by diseases of the heart and liver productive of melancholy.

In London the topic of conversation Just now is the divorce suit brought by young Mrs. Bancroft against her husband. The plaintiff is the oldest daughter of the Kendais and she met her husband when accompanying her parents on one of their American tours a couple of years ago. Between her mother and Mr. Bancroft's mother had long raged a stage rivalry and there was a terifflc row when Madge Kendal heard her daughter was to marry Mrs. Bancroft's son. She tried her best to break off the 'match, but was induce*^to make friends with her old-time rival at the wedding I breakfast. Since the wedding Mrs. Kendal has kept her daughter with her a great deal of the time and the old Kendal-Bancroft jwar was soon on again. The dlvorcCsuit is being tried behind closed doors and no details have leaked out, but public smypathy in England is with young Bancroft.

CHIC EVENING GOWNS

SOME toil CREATIONS OF EUR AW GAUZE.

Sklrta of Tailor Holts to be Plaited Areund the Waist—Wraps Will be Wor» Shorter Next Season.

Fur on thin, gauzy materials will be much in vogue this season. It iB a bit early yet for fur trlthmed frocks, and meanwhile there are no end of pretty gowns in flowered taffeta silk, corded silk, satin and moires, in shades of yellow, pale rose and white. Black lace gowns made over white satin and white Batin dinner dresses with green velvet belts and boleros are both very much worn. Louis XVI evening gowns are among the latest suggestions. A dainty model is of white taffeta, flowered with rose color, made with a tablier front of cream net ruffles and gathered in full around the hips. The waist is long and pointed, with a stomacher of the cream net and tiny ruche around the neck. All the shades of rose color will prevail in evening toilets during the coming season. One of the gowns illustrated from the New York Sun is of yellow' satin, trimmed across the front of the skirt with oblong pieces of satin, embroidered with applique lace and pearls, and tied together with yellow satin ribbon. The bodice £b of white chiffon, over which is an odd shaped bolero. Bands and bows of satin form the corselet belt. A dinner frock of pink and gray shot moire is made with a low bodice, which laces up in the back and is covered in front with full pink chiffon ruched at the top, and outlined with pink velvet revere edged with an accordion plaited frill of chiffon, and embroidered with pearls and jet. The revers fold back pver the puffed chiffon sleeves, and the draped belt is of black satin ribbon tied in a bow. Rose tinted moire silk forms another gown, beaded down the front seams with jet and turned back on either side in revers to display fan plaitings of lace. There seems to be a tendency this esason toward short evening wraps—not shoulder capes, but garments reaching to the knees. One is a cape of yellow velvet, rather scant and ending at the knees. It is lined with white satin, with thick chiffon ruchings bordering the lining. A line of sable edges the garment, and painted sprays of fleur-de-lis trim it Perhaps it should be added that the chiffon flounces edging the lining are arranged in festoons Long evening wraps remain in favor season after season. One of the new garments reaches' quite to the ground, and is of miroir velvet in the new shade of bright green. It Is quite loose front and back, with large dolman sleeves, that show, a glimpse of yellow lining. Front and back it is covered by an embroidery of jets, with loose ends that hang to the waist. The garment is bordered with sable, and a high fur collar cuts off in square tabs on each side of the chin. The glace or miroir velvet is so much used and the soft nap is so short that it admits of stamped patterns or embroidered ones done in silks or chenille.

Some of the latest tailor made skirts are plaited nearly all the way round, beginning with the wide box plait in front, and are of short walking length, which is the perfecaion of comfort. Gored cloth skirts are trimmed on each seam with braid put on in a scroll pattern, around the bottom with festoons and military knots of braid, and silk braid stripes the seams of velvet gowns. An imported black velvet gown of this style has a short coat bodice very scant in the basque and a vest of cream satin, opening with pointed revers over a chemisette, with a frilled cravat. Fo'lds of black satin, with a soft cord inside to form a roll, outline the seams of other skirts, and bands of colored satin, covered with cream lace, are set into seams, with the material lapping over on either side, or on the outside, v^ith a finish of inch-wide black velvet ribbon on the edges and crossing the band at intervals all the way down. Braid is put on in horizontal lines from the bottom of the skirt to the knee, and trellis-work braiding is another novelty in Skirt trimming which entirely covers the tablier front. This effect is carried out with narrow velvet ribbon on bolero jackets and the short puffs on the sleeves. Black satin and velvet ribbons in various widths are used in great quantities for dress trimmings this season, and they trim the skirts and decorate the bolero jackets and vests, either sewn on plain or plaited into a frill. They form the wide belts so much worn, and are made into bows and rosettes without number.

WIVES FOR WESTERN MINERS.

Canadian Girls Going to British Colombia in Kesponse to a Call. Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 26.—The new mining camps on Trail and Boundary creeks in British Columbia are scon to receive a delegation of young women from Canada, and each one will, it is expected, become a married woman almost as soon as she becomes a resident of the camp. The miners have begun cleaning up around their cabins, and one or two of the msn have gone even so far as to send to this city for v.hite shirts.

During the past two years the camps have grown at a remarkable rate, and now the number of men greatly exceeds the number of women. The miners are nearly all big, handsome fellows, making good money, and they long for all the "comforts of home." The women already on the ground are about in the proportion of one to ten, and the husband cf each is tte envy of all the unmanned men.

A short time ago the unmarried men held a meeting and after a long debate decided that the proper thing to do was to send away for wives. One man objected to importing any women, but he was soon disposed of by the indignant bachelors, who cared not whettfce the women came, so long as they only" came. About this time J. G. Devlin started for Toronto to sell some mining property, and he was made the emissary of lovelorn miners.

Mt. Devlin was provided with credentials showing h£ was fully empowered to act for the itoiners in the matter of wife selecting, and he further carried documents signed by the officials of each cairp stating the men wanting wives were all ihey claimed to be. Now comes the news that Mr. Devlin has succeeded in finding a number of young women who are willing to share the miners' jives—and fortunes—and they will start at once.

All their expenses will be paid by the general committee of the bachelors and each woman will be allowed to select the man she wants for a husband. In case two or more of the women decide on the same man, they will be required to draw lots for him. The weddings will be performed on the same day in a large hall now being erected for the purpose, ten or more couples being joined at the same time with but one weddding service.

One teaspoonful of Dr. Price's Baking Powder equals three of the cheap kinds.

THE VIRGIN MARY.

HOME WHERE SHE LIVED BELIEVED

TO BE LOCATED.

Discovery Hade From a Description Snd In an Old German Book.

CI*"

tThe Lazarist Fathers of the Mission of Ephesus believe that they hav6 found the house in which the Virgin Mary lived in that city. Their discovery is receiving the attention of many experts engaged in archaeology research in Asia Minor. All that they have said so far tends to confirm the belief that the house of the mother of Christ has really been found. The discovery is one of greater Interest to the Christian world than any that has been made in centuries..

The Lazarists are a French order, and the discoverer of the sacred ruin is Father Poulam, superior of the Mission of Ephesus, says the New York Journal. The.headquarters of this mission is at Smyrna. The territory in which the missionaries labor includes the site of the once great city of Ephesus, which is now occupied by a few Turkish villages.

The manner in which Father Poulain was led to the discovery is very extraordinary. On the shelves of the mission library he found a work entitled "The Life of the Holy Virgin," by Catherine Emmerich. This woman was a strange religious mystic, who lived at the end of the last century at Dulmen, in Germany. She professed to have supernatural vision, and was generally believed insane. The father did not regard her as worthy of consideration. He threw the book on the floor in the corner, expecting that the servants would carry it away.

As it remained untouched for several days he picked it up again in a leisure moment and glanced over its pages. Finally hig eyes rested on a chapter which told about the last years of the Virgin, which she passed in a house built for her by St. John the apostle. "This house," she said, "is about eight miles from Ephesus, on a mountain which is reached by narrow paths, which are to the south of Ephesus. From the summit one sees Ephesus on one side, the sea on the other, the sea being nearer to the hill than it is to Ephesus."

The House Described.

This statement struck the reader as wonderfully precise for a woman who had never been to Ephesus. It was followed by a detailed description of the plan of the house, of its furniture and of its smallest contents. The account went on to say that the house was built of stone and was square but in the rear it was round or octagonal.

Aft^the alleged site was so near, the priest thought it would be worth while to make a personal investigation. He consulted M. H. Jung, professor of mathematics in the College of Smyrna, who also read the interesting passages in Catherine Emmerich's story. He was at once disposed to treat it as worthleas, but, as a man of science, was willing to investigate.

The priest and the professor organized an expedition. In this part of the sultan of Turkey's dominions it is no small danger to wander out of the beaten track. A party was .made up, consisting of a servant, a railroad employe and a well-armed hegro Mussulman. The only hill that could be meant by the visionary was the Bulbul Dag, or hift of the nightingales. The party went by railroad to Aya-Soulouck, one of the villages that occupy the site of Ephesus, and then started for the hill.

The first day was spent in gathering information. The" country was inhabited chiefly by brigands, but the gendarmes were numerous. One of them, Captain Andrea, informed them that there was a tradition Of immemmorial antiquity among the inhabitants of a "groat lady" who had died there. On the 15th of August of every year the. peasants made a pilgrimage to a part of the Bulbul Dag, which they called the Panaghia Capouli, or gate of the Virgin. The, brigands abounded there. The party passed the second day in ascending Bulbul Dag and ascertained their position. On the thifd day they reached the summit of the hill, a plateau covered with a dense growth of oak, fig, olive and laurel trees. They were .then feeling exhausted.

All day they wandered here until they came to a field of tobacco iu which some women were working. Asking for water thqy were directed to a clump of trees. There, to their surprise, they found the ruins of an old stone house. Looking around they realized that the situation was that indicated by Catherine Emmerich. There was the sea on one side, nearer to them than Ephesus, and the ruins of that city on the other side. The house itself answered exactly to the description.

The Kuins Kxplorod.

The ruins were afterward explored by Mgr. Timoni, archbishop of Smyrna, who drew up a report which showed that, except for its ruinous condition the house was exactly like that described by Catherine Emmerich. This she said consisted of three parts. The central one was divided into three rooms, of which the last was semicircular, and served as an oratory for the Virgin. On the left was the vestiary, which is now fallen to the earth, and on the right was the bedroom, in which the bed was a. plank fixed a foot and a half from the ground. The house is now preceded by a square vestibule, which is admitted to be several centuries later than the time of Christ.

T£e next visitors to the ruins were students from the school of Athens. They made a careful comparison of the ruins with those of the gymnasium at Athens, a Roman building which is known to date from the time of Christ and Augustus. They decided that the two buildings were of exactly the same period. It is, therefore, proved by reliable scientific evidence that the house is old enough to have been that of the Virgin. Much remains yet to be done to prove its identity completely.

The dwelling place of the Virgin in her latter years has, for centuries, been a subject of controversy. There Las, however, been a persistent tradition from the earliest centuries that she went from Jerusalem to Ephesus, where she lived to an extreme old age.

The last mention of her in the New Testament is that she remained in the upper chamber with the apostles and holy women after the aseension. Christ had committed feer to the care of St John. It is certain that, he went to Ephesus and it is believed that he died there.

Ephesus, then one of the greatest cities in Asia Minor, was the capital of the Roman proconsular province of western Asia. Its temple was one of the seven wonders of the world, and St Paul's saying, "Great is Diana o£ the Ephesians," is familiar to everybody. Afterward it became the seat of one of the strongest christian churches. The Goths sacked it A. D. 200, and in the thirteenth century It fell under the rule -of the Turks and was utterly destroyed.

Denver, Colo., Oct 26.—Miss Anna Rossman, a young woman somnambulist, was taken to the county hospital today, and an effort will be made to cure her of the habit She was found on an uptown street at 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning, having wandered from her home while asleep. Police Officer Smith took her to the matron's room at the city hall, where she was given shelter until this morning, when she was. removed to the hospital. For more than two years the young lady—she is 22—has been a familiar figure on the streets and at police headquarters, being driven from her home by the irresistable and ungovernable habit of somnambulism. More than fifty times, perhaps, she has been found wandering around the town at night asleep, sometimes but half clad, and taken to her home by the police ambulance. Always she has been treated with the greatest of consideration on such occasions, excepting, perhaps, once, for both officers and such citizens as are on the street late at night have come tq know her as an unfortunate victim of a strange disease. Not many months ago a member of the police force was alleged to have offered an indignity to her on finding her in the street, and within twenty-four hours he had been deprived of his star and his beat.

Many a time has the young woman cagne within an ace of losing her life in her som nambulistic journeyings. One night about a year ago she left her home at Tweoty-flrst and California streets and went down, to Curtis street. In front of the Curtis street hose house, about 11 o'clock, she was struck by a Twenty-second avenue car and knocked down, barely escaping serious, if not fatal, injury. On that occasion she was clad only in a night wrapper, was without shoes*stockings or hat, and was all but frozen when picked up and taken into the hose house to await the arrival of the ambulance.

At another time she walked from her home to the Union depot after midnight and sat in 'the waiting room there for hours before an officer who recognized her aroured her and sent her home. On stiil another night she went almost directly to the police station before being awakened.

When found thus wandering on the streets at night and adwakened, Miss Rossman invariably breaks into tears and begs the officers and reporters who may be present to say nothing of her unfortunate experiences. She has vowed a score of times that she would conquer the habit, but has never been able to do so. So frequent have her aberrant trips become of late that the police sur-

rant trips become ol late tnat tne pouce sur-

THE WOMEN VOTING.

Ladles are Given a Chance to Express Their Choice for President. The women's vote, now being taken throughout the country, for president, is of great interest to all parties, as it has long been a matter of conjecture what course they would pursue if given the elective franchise. Large numbers of the besA ladies in the land are making use of this opportunity to express their own views, and the final result of the woman's vote is looked forward to with great interest. The ladies seem deeply in earnest in this opportunity to express their preference in national affairs. It is true the movement brings into marked prominence a manufacturing firm whose office force Is used foy receiving and reporting the ballot twice a week, but that fact is simply incidental and does not detract from the profound publio interest in the question of the woman's vote. It has been urged that the vote is perhaps more sure to be accurately and fairly counted by the skilled accountants of,a business office than when handled by some of the ordinary judges of election. However this may be, the company is of national repute, and pledge fhelr commercial integriey and honor to an accurate and final counting under oath. Ladies write on a postal card the name of their choice for president. Sign name and give address. Also in lower left hand corner name a banker or grocer who knows the fair voter. This card is sent to the Postum Cereal Food Coffee Co., Battle Creek, Mich., and each bonaflde voter receives an acknowledgement ol the receipt of her vote. The report may, or may not, be favorable to,the candidate this paper supports, but the statement will nevertheless appear exactly as the woman vote stands, and the reader must form hi* own conclusions therefrom.

Wednesday and Saturday papers each week will give report by states of the progress of this unique feature of a most uniqus campaign.
