A few days a Philadelpliian discov
ered $15,000 in bank notes wrapped in
tinfoil and stout paper which had
been concealed in an old mansion for
35 or 40 years. It was in a beam in
the house, which had been destros'ed
and the wood sold for kindling. The
finder bought some of the rubbish,
and, when cutting the kindling, the
wealth came to sight. After counting
the entire lot and finding the amount
so large, he called in an intimate
friend, but this one blasted all his
hopes by stating that the entire lot
was not worth a cent, the issues be
ing of old state banks, now out of
existence. The finder said that
he supposed the money was deposited
in the hiding place during the early
days of the rebellion by a brewer who
lived in the mansion at the time.
Report says that Mrs. I.eland Stan
ford has absolutely disposed of every
penny of the enormous fortune left
by her husband, the late Senator
Stanford. She recently signed the
last of the deeds that transferred to
the Lelaiul Stanford university every
acre of land that her husband had
owned, as well as all her personal es
state, which included ever so many
millions in stocks and bonds. So, as
to the actual ownership of property,
sho is destitute to-day, but the trus
tees of the university have bound
themselves to pay her $25,000 a year,
which she uses for her personal
wants.
It is reported that 300 women in
Trenton, X. J., paid $1 each to a glib
canvasser who rented rooms in a
central office, employed several clerks
and agreed to give a $lO silk petticoat
to every woman who would pay $1
and induce ten of her acquaintances
to invest the same amount for a sim
ilar garment. Two or three petti
coats were given out, an "unavoidable
delay" occurred, and one morning the
operator was found to have left town
without leaving his address.
T.C'arson. the mayor of Brownsville,
Tex., is known in that part of the
country as the "perpetual mayor."
lie has held the office for 21 years,
and he cannot get out of if. He has
declined renomination time and again
and threatened to resign if elected,
but the people have nominated and
elected him in spite of it. He was
the first mayor elected in Texas under
the new constitution of 187'J, and be
fore that he had been an alderman
for a number of years.
A Tonawanda (Pa.) bank employed
ingenious means to stop a recent run
on the institution. While several hun
dred depositors were in line: to with
draw their money, three barrels of
silver dollars were unloaded in front
of the building and carried in by the
basketful. The sight of $75,000 be
ing dumped into the bank in this
wholesale manner had a reassuring
effect, and the run ceased.
Nettie Dickey, a young girl of Stan
ton. Del., lately returned to her
home, after leading the life of a
tramp for several years. During that
time she chopped wood for a living,
slept in empty box ears, and lived in
cheap lodging houses. She visited the
principal cities in the United States
and is now willing to abandon her
roving life and settle in Stanton.

DEMOCRATS IN A DILEMMA
Trouble In the Konilocriiit I'arty
tl»tr the N'nmlug of Itryan
u» Lcutlvr,
Spending of the proceedings of the
recent democratic national committee
in Washington, the correspondent of
a Boston paper that supported Cleve
land says in winding lip a report of
the meeting: "Behind the scenes it
was interesting to observe that the
majority of the committeemen do not
now expect that Mr. Bryan will be
elected." On the face of the situation
Bryan has 110 reasonable hope of suc
cess, and the democrats in control of
the party machinery know it perfectly
well. Yet all of them will declare that
his nomination is certain, and probably
by a unanimous vote. There is here
something of a political paradox, but
it has been brought about by a sequence
of events. Time alone can deliver the
democartic party from its singular po
sition. It is inevitably committed to
a candidate who will be beaten, as the
managers behind him foresee. The
causes of this predicament are not
hard to find. In ISM> the democratic
party abandoned its old creed and went
into a fusion with another part}'. It
cannot retrace its steps. Its position
is hopelessly bad, but there is none bet
ter in sight, and circumstances com
pel it to light the second battle on the
general alignment of the first.
Since, the last presidential trial of
strength there have been three fall
elections in various states and in all of
them an evident loss of ground for the
Bryanites. The states that have left
their colump are Kansas, Washington,
South Dakota and Wyoming. Maryland
went democratic last year, but on a
platform written by Mr. Gorman and
making no mention of free coinage.
Some suggest thafr the democrats
might try Gorman's idea in the nation
al, fight this year. It could only be done
with some other candidate, for Bryan
and silver are synonymous. To drop
Bryan would cost the democrats all the
trans-Mississippi states that remain to
them and the gain in the eastern or
border states would be problematical.
An election practically on the Gorman
plan was held in New York in 1898 and
the republicans carried the state, with
a plurality for Roosevelt over Van
Wyck of 17,786. The republicans won
in New York decisively again last year
on the vote for legislature. Though
party lines were much broken in Ohio
last fall, the republican plurality was
larger than usual and the democratic
aggregate vote one of the smallest com
paratively in the history of the state.
As far as the facts of the political
situation are revealed the democrats
can make nothing either with Bryan
or without him. So they are disposed
to let matters drift, knowing at least
thai another defeat will lessen his su
perficial popularity, representing now,
as always, a great deal more noise than
rotes. The republican party holds the
vantage ground of having redeemed its
pledges and also of having conducted
the nation tiuough a series of unex
pected and serious emergencies. It lias
momentous work on hand connected
with the country's expansion and it
would not be businesslike to turn it
over to new hands and a hostile party,
bent on destroying what has been done
rather than bettering it. Possibly the
democratic national convention of
1900, like that of 1896, may beseized with
a sudden impulse and do something ex
traordinary; but no matter what tick
et or sensation is ground out at Kan
sas City the electoral table gives the
democrats 110 encouragement what
ever.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
AYnKreM AdvnnclnK.
An unmistakable sign of prosperity
is the ten per cent, advance of wages
which went into effect in New England
manufacturing cities and J owns in De
cember and at the beginning of the
present year. At least 70,000 operatives
are directly affected by this increase.
This means the distribution of a vast ly
greater amount of money among the
working people than has been the case
for years, and consequently larger
spendings and larger savings. It is ex
cellent evidence of greater prosperity
already arrived, and an earnest of stili
greater prosperity to come. For pros
perity grows with prosperity; the
mills whose profits permit them to
make this increase in their employes'
wages may. through easier times else
where, actually find their profits in
creasing as a result of their own ex
penditure. This seeming paradox is
not so much of a mystery as it seems
superficially, for it has been explained
in the returns from business invest
ments many times. The increase is a
cheerful sign for the new year. Gener
ally the president ial year is a bad one
for business, but the present bids fair
to become a happy exception to the
rule.—Youth's Companion.
Rrynn'M I'neortnlnty.
Mr. Bryan, it seems, is in favor of the
United States acquiring new territory
even when, as in the ee-se of the Philip
pines, it is not contiguous to ih spates
of the union, provided the people are
intelligent enough 1o form part of the
republic. This declaration is very
much akin to a flop on the question of
expansion; for one of the axioms ol
the anti-imperialists is that there is
a mysterious though inexorable law
of nature against anncxingnoneontig
uous territory. Moreover, the anti
imperialists never tire of telling the
world how intelligent the Filipinos
are. Many, indeed, go so f:ir as to say
that they are quite as intelligent ns
the average Americans. But if that
view is correct, there can be no possible
objection to ti e acquisition of the is
lands, according to Mr. Pryr.n. And,
on the other hand, if that gentleman
continues *.O oppose the retention of
the Philippines, he will have to justify
his course by denying Ihe anti-iin
perialist assumption of Filipino en
lightenment. which will be embarrass
ing all arour.'J.—X. Y. Tribune.

SAFE GOLD STANDARD,
The Line Ilclneen It epn li I leans an<l
Ui'iuucriitH la
1 > ltruwn.
When the United State* senate
passed the bill providing that the gold
dollar should be the standard unit, of
value, the gold standard was made
legally safe. The house bill differs in
some respects from that of the senate,
but both are alike in the vital pro
vision, which formally establishes the
gold standard. Conferences will soon
harmonize the bills in their minor fea
tures, and then, with the approval of
President McKinley, the United States,
by the explicit sanction of law, will
take an indisputable place among the
gold standard nations.
The action is the more notable and
gratifying because it came from a body
which long hung like, a weight on tho
neck of sound money, and which by
palterings and makeshifts blocked the
way to the simple and assuring declara
tion made the other day, and kept
financial affairs in a condition of in
certitude.
The vote drew the line between the
parties and showed where republicans
and democrats stand on the question
of purity of thccurrency. Everyrepub
lican but one voted for the bill. Every
democrat but two voted against the
bill, and those two are gold and Cleve
land democrats who know that their
political future in the democratic par
ty is closed, because with their devo
tion to honest money they could not
be elected on the democratic ticket to
the pettiest office in their states.
The vote for 44 republicans and two
democrats against 28 democrats and
one republican determines the position
of the parties on the financial issue for
the national campaign soon to open.
The republican party is the party
which insists upon the standard of
value recognized by the leading na
tions of the world—a. standard which
therefore is necessary to commercial
intercourse and to financial stability,
and never before so necessary as with
the worldwide expansion which this
nation is now enjoying. The democrat
ic party insists upon championship of
a cheap metal and bearing against the
opposition of the world the hopeless
burden of dignifying that metal be
yond its normal possibilities.
The republican party insists upon
the standard of value which regulates
the currency of the following coun
tries: Great Britain, Germany, Russia,
Austria-Hungary, Norway and Sweden,
Denmark. Portugal, Turkey, Japan,
Finland. Egypt, British Honduras, Bra
zil. Chili, Peru, Costa Pica, France,
Italy, Holland. Switzerland, Belgium,
Spain. Greece, Venezuela and India.
The democratic party insists upon the
standard of value of Mexico, except in
commercial affairs; China, where silver
goes by weight value; Servia and
Hotimania, and a few states in Central
and South America.
The people chose in 1890 between
the financial platforms of these par
ties. The issue now is even more
definitely made, and the choice will be
repeated by as much larger majority
as four years of the experience of pros
perity will suggest.—Troy Times.

from Lord Roberts:
"Poplar Grove, March 7.—We had a

"The position which they occupied

"The turning movement was neces

Lord Roberts wired yesterday inorn

By an application of the elementary

10,000 horsemen and horse artillery in
a bold sweep around the Boer left,
whereupon the Boer center and right
became untenable. Fifty British fell
when the' cavalry came into contact
with the Boers.
The correspondents differ as to the
enemy's strength. The Daily Mail's
representative thinks the lie>ers num
ber something more than 4.000. The
Daily Newsman estimates them at
10,000. As these figures come from ob
servers at headquarters, it is clear
that Lord Roberts' force was over

have fewer than 45,000.

SIX MEN INDICTED.
Alleged Circulator* of I-'alae Itumors
are in Trouble—four «»re Arrraird.
New York, March 7.—The special
grand jury which lias been investigat
ing - Brooklyn Kapid Transit matters
for the past mouth, yesterday brought
(in a presentment before Justice Furs
man in the criminal term of the su
preme court, together with indict
ments against six men, making them
in part responsible for the false re
ports that had been circulated about
Brooklyn Ka.pid Transit, with a re
sulting depression of the stock.
The men indicted are Alfred K. Gos
lin, who was arrested in Philadelphia;
Harry J. Alexander, an advertising
| agenit; Charles T. I>avis, editor of the
Wall Street Review, and Eugene L.
Packer, all three of whom were put
under arrest in this city; Warner T.
Allen, an alleged stockholder of the
Brooklyn Kapid Transit Co., and one
Bogart, who is said to be Goslin's pri
vate secretary.
The presentment of the grand jury
: intimates that there are others impli
cated in the circulation of false re
ports, although suificient proof against
them had not been submitted to the
jury.
Uavis was arraigned on three indict
ments, two alleging felony and one
misdemeanor and was held in SII,OOO
bail. Packer was held in $4,000 on
two indictments charging misdemean
or. Alexander was held in $7,000 bail
on three indictments charging felony
and conspiracy. Goslin has not yet
been brougiht to this city from Phila
delphia.
Alexander and Davis were commit
ted to the Tombs, being unable to fur
nish a bond.
The presentment recounts the
means by which the market, price of
Brooklyn Kapid Transit stock was de
pressed last summer, specifying paid
advertisements in newspapers here
and in Boston, and in circulars sent
through the mails, predicting heavy
declines because of the alleged bad
condition of the company. These
statements, it is further said in the
presentment, were also disseminated
orally and by telegraph and telephone,
the result being a heavy decline in
which innocent holders of the stock
iwere unable to protect themselves and
bo "saw their property depreciated
day by day." The presentment con
tinues:
"In our opinion these attacks ema
nated from several sources, but from
thuir nature it has been impossible
for this grand jury in every case to
trace these rumors to their authors."
It is further added by the present
ment.: "The statements referred to
are not put forth as mere expressions
of opinion, but purport to be based
upon accurate inside information and
in numerous instances on downright
statements of fact which are false and
known to be false by the publishers
thereof."
Philadelphia, March 7.—Alfred K.
Goslin, of New York, who was arrest
ed here on instructions from the po
lice department of thait city, was yes
terday committed to await requisition
papers from New York. It is stated
that he will resist extradition.
At the hearing Goslin was commit
ted. liis counsel applied to the court
of oyer and terminer for a writ of
habeas corpus in order to secure his
release on bail. Judge Willson refused
to grant the writ, giving as his reason
that the case was too serious to be
decided on such short notice.

Philadelphia, March 7.—The Ameri

here Tuesday from Liverpool and re
ported having saig'hted the Norwegian
shin Solheim, from Mobile for Fleet
wood. I'-ng., abandoned and on fire.
The lihynland sighted the burning
ship on February 27 at a distance o£
12 miles. The American liner imme
diately changed her course and went to
♦die vessel to take oir any one who
might lie aboard the ship, but found
no signs of life. The fire was burning
fiercely from the stern to the midship,
the after part of the ship having al
ready been gutted. All the sails of the
ship had either been scorched or
burned.
Not finding any life .the Khynland
blew her whistle for quite a while in
the hope that the crew of the vessel
might lie within hearing and make
their whereabouts known, but the
Khynland saw nothing and proceeded. j
The Solheim is supposed to have |
carried a crew of from 15 to 20 men. [
Iler captain's name was Metsen. The |
vessel had a cargo of yellow pine lum
ber. The Solheim was spoken on Feb- j
ruary 5 and is supposed to have been
spoken on February 15. She was for- ;
merly the British ship Norwood, built
