We would suggest that our workers take turns In attending the Falls meetings, so that sufficient help may always be on hand. The meetings for July have been, help ful, though not largely attended. Per haps the best meeting of the month was that held on the 2Gth, and led by Mr. L. A. Dyer and a delegation of Dickinson students.

A study of the Oriental Bismarck, LI Hung Chung, who Is soon to visit the United States for the first time, is par .excellence the feature of the Cen tury this month. It Is written by ex Secretary of State John W. Foster, who was employed by the emperor of China to aid Li Hung Chang In nego tiating peace with Japan. Marlon Crawford's Illustrated paper describ ing the Vatican is also a specially note worthy article. In addition there is a plentiful variety of midsummer fic tion. II II II Most of the current Forum is devoted to politics. Senators Cullom and Morrill and General Porter exalting various phases of Republicanism and Charles S. Gleed and T. S. Van Dyke arguing certain branches of the currency ques tion. Apart from politics, however, Julius H. Ward's study of Harriet Beecher Stowe. and J. B. Bishop's pa per on the "Social and Economic In fluence of the Bicycle" are the recom mendable features. II II II In the Cosmopolitan this month Ho bart C. Taylor, who Is contributing a valuable series of papers on modern Spain, dwells entertainingly on " Cor dova, the City of Alemorles." Another readable feature is a narrative of Fre mont's retreat from the. San Luis val ley, by the only survivor of .that fa mous expedition. Amelia S, Barr has a strung story In this number, entitled "A Daughter of Folly." II II II McClure's for August Is a fiction number, including among its conttibu tots Clinton Ross. Octave Thanet, Ste phen Crane, Edward William Thomp son, Anthony Hope and Annie Eliot. "Gladstone at Eighty-six," by William T. Stead, Is an uncommonly Interest ing "human document" In this maga zine. The portraits given ot England's grand old man are worth many times the Magazine's cost. II II II A critical review of the life and work of Johannes Brahms by Edgar .Still man Kelley, In connection with which appears a fine half-tone portrait, is the noteworthy feature of the August Looker-On. A paper by Harvey XV. Loom la on "The Art of Accompanying" Is also worthy of recommendation to all setious musicians. II II II Out of a !!ge and well-varleil fable of contents In the Home Magazine for this month we pick for special notice a carefully prepared and lavishly Illus trated article by Thomas E. Burry en titled "Drunkenness as a Disease." It is an Instructive exposition of the prin ciples of the Keeley treatment. It de serves to be added that the magazine as a whole continues to improve at a pace which Is attracting general atten tion. II II II Occult research finds In each Issue of the Metaphysical magazine a faith ful mirror. The man who reads this publication regularly and with care Is likely to form the opinion, with Ham let, that there are more things In heaven and earth than are dreamt of In our philosophy. II IMI The reader who gets hold of the Aug ust Progress of the World will find much to interest him in the departments of political and social history, commerce and trade, finance, and arts and letters; MUSICAL NOTES. Chailes Chandler and Alfred Wooler of this city have entered a competition for a prize to be awarded for the best service cf song Intended for use by Christian Endeavor societies. They have been hard at work upon the com positions for some time past and al ready have some spirited poems and beautiful melodies prepared.

We advise every admirer of a good story well told to get Rosa Nouchette Cary'a "The Old, Old Story," which Is republished by the Llpplncotts, Phila delphia. It Is a novel without a vllluln or a villalness. The people in it are human but not vicious, the tone of It Is pure and the man or woman who cannot find wholesome pleasures In reading it Is to be pitied.

Dr. Oliver evliWMv u,i... ed out to write an oiiginul story, but us ne got pressed for time, he simply took his scissors and clipped whole columns of cyclone material from the St. Louis papers.

Piatt CAl'tillT Till: OFFICERS. How a Moonshiner Collected a He vvnid Ottered Tor His Capture. "Cap" Nelson is a moonshiner whose stills in Clinton county, Kentucky, have never been found. The revenue officers have endeavored for years to catch him, but the nearest they ever succeeded was about two years ago, the details of which raid was told a Star reporter by Thad Arnold, one of the deputies who accompanied the posse. "We left Point ' Burnslde." he said, "and stopped the first night In Monti cello, starting early the next morning for Boston mountain, near which Nel son was known to live. As we rode up the narrow bridle path, that Is the easi est way to the top of the mountain, a mountaineer met us. " 'Howdy, strangers,' he said. " 'Howdy,' we answered. " 'Uoin' to Albany?' he inquired. " 'Yes.' " 'Wall, I reckon I kin do yo'uns some good an' make un" hones' dollar," he re marked. 'One of yo' all Jess git down an' come hyar.' "Our leader dismounted, and the man said, cautiously: " 'Tliar's a feller named "Cap" Nelson hyar, an' that's rewards fur 'im. Ef yo' all will bring some men hyar, I'll go hulvers.' "After a little sparring a, deal was made with the fellow, who took us to a house for supper, where he said Nelson had an engagement to come that night. We watched the informer carefully and kept our weapons ready ior use. "Yo'uns all go up yander in the loft an' keep a sharp lookout. When he comes Jump right down an' capter im suddent. Take me, too, for my hide wouldn' be worth shucks ef they hed any Ijee he war given away.' "We were a little suspicious, but kept a close watch upon the man. He was not out of our sight except when he went to feed the horses. "About the time It grew dark there were sounds of horses' hoofs and our spy whispered up the loft: 'He'll ride up an' I'll go out an' see im an' stop 'im. He won't come In c'ause thar's two oth ers with im. When yo' all hear three pistol shots yo' kin konw It's im. oit yo' critters an' surroun' im.' "We started after the horses, the pis tol shots were heard as we reached the log stable. The horses were gone, the lights were out in the cabin, and when we got back It was deserted. We final ly got Into the house and loosely scrawled on a piece of brown paper was written. "I told yo' all I'd show you Cap. Nelson for half the $2,000. You all et supper with him. but he don't live hear as a general thing. He took the horses for half what you owe him THE LEADER 124-126 'Aping An OF OUR GREAT fi 0 Still greater cuts have been made throughout our whole store, as we are determined to dispose of all spring and summer goods we still have left and at prices that will tempt somebody to purchase whether they need goods or not, but, as usual, all merchandise bought that is not entirely as represented, the money will cheerful ly be refunded. Shall advise all who wish to buy good, new and desirable merchan dise not to fail to at tend this sale. fur showing himself, and the rest can be sent to him at Montlcello." "It was the last trace we could find ot him, and we walked thirty miles to town, expecting every minute to be shot at." IF WE HAD FREE COINAGE. - From the Times-Herald. Suppose It became a reasonable certainty that the United States would adopt the policy of free coinage of sliver at 10 to 1. From that moment hundreds, perhaps thousands, of men would rush into th silver market to buy silver, expecting that they could turn it Into silver dollars that would be worth 129 cents per ounce. Un der such a demand sliver would advance rapidly In prlco until it reached very near ly, perhaps Its full coining value. For a few months, uerhaus for a longer time. we would have an era of speculation such as has not been' witnessed In many years. The gold speculation or the war wouio. be repeated on a larger scab', for this speculation would not be confined to the United Htates alone, but would occur wherever there was silver to buy or sell. Families would melt down their silver ware and turn It Into bullion, while sil ver mining would be stimulated as never before. Fortunes would be won and lost in a single day, for under the varying ru mors cunstantly set atloat at smii pe riods the fluctuations would be wide. Our gold speculation era Is not so far back In Urn mist as to be forgotten, and the daily and weekly fluctuations of that time drove men wild with the alternating emotions of hope and despair. II II II Snph In ;ill probability would be the re sult of free coinage, and this is 111 fact what the free silver men allege. J'hey Bay that this extra demand will price of their favorite inelajl lne by human experience Hi This would all be for the a benefit of the mine owners, the owner of silver and the lucky speculators. Where now would the people, those who are not speculators, but are workers and producers, come In? What advantage would they have? The silver dollar would become intrinsically more valuable from day to day. and Instead of being worth but IS cents, as It Is now. It might become worth 100 cents. It would fluctuate, how ever, just as the market price for silver fluctuated, and sometimes be worth more and sometimes less. As money as a measure of value It would be the worst possible. It would resemble a yard-sMotc that one day would be twenty-five Inches long, another day thirty inches long, the next thirty-six Inches long and the next back to thirty again. No person could buy and no merchant couM sell goods with such a measure us that. .Meant'me gold would disappear from the currency alto, gether, for no man would pay out gold either for debt or commodities when he could use silver of less value or of a fluc tuating value. F.ven the sliver m-h admit this when they declare that they want free silver coinuge for the very purpose of obtaining money in which to pay debts. II II II But whether they admit it or not. It Is the unvarying law of finance that an In ferior money drives out the superior. Our own monetary history rurnlshes alt the examples of this truth that we need. But this would not be all. By and by the demand and the use for silver would de crease and Its price would decrease, grad ually sinking hack to Its real commercial ratio with gold. We would then have, a Mexico has. a depreciated money, and our silver dollar would not be worth quite as much as the Mexican dollar. Mean time we would be obliged to carry on our commerce with the rest of the world on the gold basis Just as we did during the war subjecting ourselves to all the an noyances, perplexities and expense of an adverse foreign exchange. II II II Is It worth while to go through so much to get so little? Are the people who can not sroflt by changing our money stand ard willing to subject themselves to all these disadvantages for the purpose only of putting extravagant profits into the pockets of the mine owners? .
