DYING TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
Giant Poplar In Maryland Hun Lived
Two Centuries or More.
From the Baltimore Sun: The old
est and largest tree in Talbot county is
deud. It has been dying for tweuty-ttve
years or more. The tree is a mam
moth tulip poplar In a field of Poplar
Hill farm, near the public road leading
from Easton to Trappe, about a milo
and a half from Easton. The farm has
been named for the tree for at least
200 years and is the property of Mrs.
Edmund Law Rogers, born Plater, of
Baltimore, and was part of the orig
inal Plater grant made in early
colonial times. Scientific men whe
have from time to time visited this
tree have said that It would take at
least 1,000 years for this species of
poplar to grow to such size in this lo
cality. It stands alone, a picturesque
feature of the landscape, in an open
field, and can be seen for miles from all
roads and from the water courses.
The wonderful size of the tree is In
the magnitude and height of its trunk.
Approximately it is 250 feet high and
twenty feet in diameter. The head is
comparatively small and the first limb
is 200 feet from the ground, and it car
ries its diameter symmetrically all the
way up. From its top at night, for
many venturesome and agile climbers
have ascended it, the light in Sharp's
island lighthouse can be plainly seen.
A horse and carriage behind it cannot
be seen from the nearby public road.
The lightning has not spared it. It is
seamed and gashed and split by the
many bolts which have also knocked
huge limbs from its top. Tradition
says that 200 years ago, which is as
far back as tradition claims to have
known the tree —it is named in land
deeds 150 years ago—it had lightning
marks on it, and even then showed
signs of failure. Three years ago it
was struck four times in one summer.
This fierce attack undoubtedly has
tened its end. Well, the giant tree is
dead. The old poplar of Poplar Hill
probably saw the beginning of the
twentieth century and died just before
the beginning of the twentieth. It was
the Mount Shasta of the Talbot land
scape.

JULIUS BINES & SON
BALTIMORE, MD. Dept. aia
The Prison Bird.
In the Paris Museum of Natural His
tory at present there is to be seen the
only living captive specimen of what
African explorers have called the "pris
on bird." The peculiarity of this
feathered beauty is that he is the most
tyrannical and jealous of husbands,
imprisoning his mate throughout her
nesting time. Livingstone watched the
bird's habits while in Monpour, and in
his subsequent observations referred to
the nest as a prison and the female
bird as a slave. The nest is built in
the hollow of a tree through an open
ing in the bark. As soon as it is com
pleted the mother bird enters carefully
and fearfully and settles down in it.
Then papa walls up the opening, leav
ing only just space enough for air and
food to pass through. He keeps faith
ful guard and brings food at regular
intervals without fail. The female
thrives under her enforced retirement.
But if the prison bird is killed, or in
any other way prevented from fulfill
ing his duties, the mother and her little
ones must die of starvation, for she
cannot free herself from bondage. Nor
mally the imprisonment lasts until the
chicks are old enough to fly. Then the
male bird destroys the barrier with his
beak and liberates his family. "It Is
charming," writes Livingstone, "to see
the joy with which the little prisoners
greet the light and the unknown
world."
THE NATURAL RATIO.
IT IS ALWAYS THE COMMER
CIAL RATIO.
Th Fictitious Ratio or US to 1 Tells
the Story of How the Producer 11a.
llern Mulcted for the Benefit of the
Money Sharks.
Horace Boles has been Interviewed
again, and ho informs the public that
he is a "bimetalllst." He would have
to be that or quit being a Democrat.
The principles of Democracy declare as
positively for gold and silver as the
basis for the nation's monetary system
as they declare against high protection
and its products, which are industrial
monopolies and discriminating laws in
the interest of capital combinations.
But Mr. Boies is mistaken when he
Bays the coinage ratio is not essential.
He seems to be under the impression
that the ratio should conform to the
commercial value of the metals in the
arbitrary way. The history of coinage
does not Justify Mr. Boies' conclusion.
If gold were demonetized and silver
made the only metal money of final
redemption the present difference be
tween the coinage value of gold and the
commercial value of silver bullion
would he reversed. The arts and
sciences and mechanics could not find
use for nearly all the gold production,
and the market price for it would cer
tainly be made by a surplus in its anx
iety to sell. But having a fixed value
for coinage purposes, and its coinage
being free and unlimited, naturally and
necessarily its bullion value would be
its coinage value. The same thing
would be true of silver, but of no other
metals, because gold and silver are the
only metals that possess all the con
stitutional and other requisite qualities
for money metals. The experience of
commerce and money changing for
thousands of years proves this to be
true. But merely possessing the requi
site qualities does not make either one
of the metals legal tender money. That
is done by the flat of the government
coining It, and the fiat fixes the quality
and the quantity—that is, fineness—
that shall constitute a legal tender for
a specified purchasing and debt-paying
power. Less than 50 cents' worth of
silver, bullion value, now has 100
cents' worth of debt-paying and pur
chasing power because the flat of the
government makes it a legal tender for
that many cents, and the government
itself receives it at that value. After
all, therefore, it Is the flat of the gov
ernment and not the qualities them
selves which the metals possess that
makes them money. Hundreds of years
of experience shows that the difference
in the quality of the metals produced
fluctuates from a fraction below to a
fraction above sixteen pounds of sil
ver to one pound of gold.
The ratio of production is 1G to 1.
Therefore that is the natural commer
cial ratio. Thirty-two to one is the
bankers' ratio. The difference between
the bankers' ratio and the natural com
mercial ratio represents the amount
subtracted from the purchase price of
wheat and other products of the farm,
by an act of government (1873) hos
tile to the producing millions and
friendly to dealers in money, bonds
and interest.
Rottenness.
From the Coldwater (Mich.) Sun: It
Is interesting to note that in McKln
ley's Jumble of politics, one of its sec
tions will keep on telling a given lie
after the other sections have been
called off and muzzled. The latest in
stance lies with the state department,
which is the natural breeding place of
liars. Col. Denby, one of the peace
commissioners at Manila, cabled over
a roseate dispatch twenty-four hours
after the correspondents' "round rob
in" bad shown up the rottenness of the
whole situation, In which he claimed
that everything was all right, that the
Islands were being rapidly pacified, and
that the volunteers were eagerly re
enlisting—in fact, had to be restrained
to keep from falling over themselves In
order to get into the new regiments.
That, of course, is what might be ex
pected from Denby. He is, or was, a
Cleveland gold Democrat, pompous and
windy, whom Cleveland sent as min
ister to China. There about his first
official act was to get his son appointed
as secretary of legation and a second
son shoved into a fat Job in the Chi
nese imperial customs service, which
is controlled by an Englishman named
Sir Robert Hart, the agent and tool of
the British government. Naturally
from then on Denby drew his breath
according to the wishes of Sir Robert
Hart and the British government. He
now has no difficulty in finding things
exactly the way McKinley wants them
found.
Troubles of Their Own.
From the Butte (Mont.) Miner:
Those newspapers of the Republican
persuasion which are busily engaged
liuding trouble in the ranks of the De
mocracy are respectfully invited to
pause and ponder over th 6 following
from the Portland Oregonian:
"President McKinley has shown him
self to be a mere instrument in the
hands of politicians. He has shown it
in all possible ways, and the whole
country is talking about it. In civil
and military affairs it has been the
same. Such ability as he has is neu
tralized by his excessive amiability.
Something more than mere complais
ance in action is required in the presi
dent of the United States."
Here is trouble right here in the
family, so to speak, and there is no
occasion for the Republican newspa
pers to get over into the Democratic
pasture to look for other family trou
bles. The Oregonian is, and has been
always, a Republican newspaper. It
is, in the opinion of the Miner, the
itrongest Republican newspaper and
the most ably edited In the four states
of the northwest corner of the country
—with apologies to the 13utto Inter
Mountain. It was due to the efforts of
the Oregonian more than any other
cause that Oregon gave her electoral
vote to William McKinley in 189(1. Sub
sequent events have no doubt caused
the Oregonian to change the estimato
it placed upon McKinley three years
ago. All must admit that when a news
paper of the Republican standing and
general ability of the Oregonian goes
back on the man it helped elect, there
must be some ground for it. It is ap
parent McKinley will not have the cor
dial support of the Oregonian next
year.
The Position of Wheat.
From the Gallipolis (Ohio) Bulletin:
Much is said about the wheat yield for
1899, says the Pittsburg Post, and the
man who reads the inspired articles
will hardly be able to determine
whether he is in the midst of plenty
or treading on the borders of famine.
The thoroughbred speculator under
stands that all this talk is for the day
or week and is made to buy or sell on,
having but little to do with the actual
condition of the wheat crop. No one
need be alarmed. The United States
has raised more wheat than is needed
here and will have a large exportable
surplus. The yield of winter wheat
will not be less than 275,000,000 bush
els, and the yield of spring wheat not
less than 250,000,000 bushels, making
520,000,000 bushels, being above the
average for the past ten years. Clear
ances of wheat and flour from the
United States and Canada for the year
ending July 1 have agregated 226,000,-
000 bushels, against 234.000,000 bushels
for the corresponding time a year ago,
the two largest years in the history of
the country. Because of the accumula
tion of stocks and fair wheat yield in
Europe it is estimated that the foreign
demand will not exceed 170,000,000
bushels. The corn crop is estimated
at over 1,400,000,000 bushels, and then
there are oats, rye, buckwheat, and
numerous other food products which
are all handicaps to a famine. All
this talk of a short crop and famine
can be traced to bullish speculators
who want higher prices at which to
sell,and, on the other hand, the tales
of great plenty are fairy stories of the
bears, who want the bottom knocked
out of the market. Farmers who will
hold their wheat for a spell will get
good value, but the prospect for higher
prices at present is not encouraging.
The price will likely remain near its
present level, but under existing con
ditions will tend upward rather than
downward.
Shadow* Before.
"Coming events cast their shadows
before." The New York Tribune, con
trolled by Whitelaw Reid, ex-Paris
peace commissioner, and until recently
a thoroughgoing McKinley organ, has
lately been pouring hot shot into the
McKinley camp, because, first, of what
it calls the president's betrayal of tho
civil-service merit system by his re
cent order turning over some ten thou
sand ofllces to the spoilsmen, and, sec
ond, because of his failure to confirm
the sentence of the court-martial in the
case of Capt. Carter, convicted of rob
bing the government of a million or
so dollars by means of corrupt con
tracts. The Minneapolis Tribune, the
Portland Oregonian and a number of
other prominent Republican newspa
pers have declared that it may be'nec
essary for the Republican party to
nominate another than McKinley for
president next year; while Harper's
Weekly, an enthusiastic supporter of
McKinley in 1896, now says: "We
wonder if Mr. McKinley knows what
some good men —not gold Democrats
or independents, but old-time Repub
licans—are saying of him. They are
saying that he has done more harm to
the country than Mr. Bryan could have
done. No one can regret more than
ourselves that this is a fact. We are
not prepared to assent to it, but it is
certainly worthy of Mr. McKlnley's se
rious reflection He is alienating the
friends who made his election possible,
and whose support may be absolutely
necessary to bis party next year. There
can be no question that the tide of Re
publican opinion is steadily setting
against the renomination of McKinley
and little question that he will be out
of the race before the Republican na
tional committee meets."
Fusion or Bust.
From the Paulding (Ohio) Demo
crat: William J. Bryan will be the
leader of the Democrats, the free-silver
Republicans and the Populists in 1900.
The Chicago platform will be readopt
ed and it will declare against imperial
ism, against the trusts, and in favor of
direct legislation. Any movement or
ganized to detract from this leader and
these issues, while it may be with hon
est Intentions, is a move that will help
the Hanna-McKinley combine and to
strengthen the money trust, the syndi
cates, the combines and the corpora
tions. Whoever is not for William J.
Bryan and the Chicago platform from
this time until the close of the polls
in 1900 is for the Hanna syndicate and
the money power, either directly or in
directly.
A United Party.
From the Jacksonville (111.) Courier:
The great Democratic party is more
firmly united than ever before in tho
history of the organization. The grave
perils which threaten the republic are
fully realized by the masses of the peo
ple, and they look to the Democratic
party as the medium for relief. They
will not be disappointed. The hosts
are organizing to make a supreme ef
fort for the preservation of the repub
lic founded by the patriot fathers from
the hands of the imperialist goldite
conspirators. And the people will win
this time.
ONE WAY TO BEG MONEY.
■lts In Hotel Writing Itooina and Write!
L.I (tors to t.ueat. Oppoidto llliu.
A novel method of securing n liv
ing without labor has been described
by the house deteotive of the Audi
torium Hotel. The detective is on
the lookout for a mau who is sys
tematically working on the sympathies
of the guests of the Auditorium and
other leading hotels for a good in
come. This mau, who is contiunally
seen busy writing in the writing rooms
of hotels, is of middle age and slender
build. His clothes show the effects
of wear and a general appearance ol
the shabby-geuteel characterizes him.
When his hat is removed, a shining,
bald crown speaks of long experience
with the world. As he writes with
nervous haste, it is noticeable that he
has been used to such occupation,
and his soft, shapely hands show no
signs of hard labor.
Invariably this shabby gentleman
seats himself opposite some prosper
ous traveler who is attending to his
business correspondence. He writes
a long letter, pausing many times to
think of proper phraseology. Then,
watching his opportunity, he passes
the letter across the table with a
deprecating gesture and remains with
his head bowed, his soft hands cover
ing his face, while the traveler reads
the letter.
In well chosen language, the letter
lells a tale of misfortune. In touch
ing words the writer depicts his fall
from affluence to poverty through
circumstances beyond his control.
Invariably the letter ends with an
appeal of SI with which to buy the
victim of misfortune a day's food and
lodging, and often the dollar is quietly
Blipped across the writing table by the
traveler who is touchod by the silent
appeal.
No words are spoken. There is
nothing of the rough manner of the
uncouth, mendicant in the beggar's
appeal. When he receives money, he
gratefully bows his thanks and leaves
the writing-room as silently as he
entered.
I How long this shabby sharper has
been living off the stream of travel in
Chicago cannot bo told, but for the
last six months hotel people have
been on the lookout for him. Ho silent
and smooth are his methods, however,
that no one has yet caught him in the
act of working his peculiar game, and
he still passes in and out of the lead
ing hotels unmolested by detectives
or porters.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Bicycle Polo.
Polo played without the regulation
sticks, merely by the substitution of
cycles for horses, is a new game
among riders, though it requires no
small amount of skill. It is obvious
that the latter form of game is pos
sibly only-, for expert wheelmen or
wheel women. When the bell is struck,
not with a stick, but always with the
front wheel, it means that tho wheel
must be lifted clear of the ground to
give it the necessary play, and that is
a feat beyond the average rider. The
rules for the new game are the same
as those of the stick polo, and the
player must always, on penalty of s
J foul, keep his cycle to the left of an
imaginary lino drawn from the op-
I ponents' goal to the centre of the
j ball—i. e., must keep the ball on hie
right hand side. Then," to mako e
sharp stroke, the front wheel is lifted,
j the left hand brought sharply back
and the ball is struck with the rim and
tire of the hinder part of the front
| wheel. It sounds like a perilous feat,
I and is somewhat, though not more sc
j than the game played with sticks. In
practice for either falls are frequent
; and inevitable. The rule about keep
ing on one side of the ball is evidently
| framed in order to avoid as far as pos-
I sible such disastrous collisions as
would ensue from orossing righl
athwart arider.—Waverley Magazine,
Judicial Cruelty in Hungary.
A revolting instance of magisterial
cruelty in tho Hungarian villago ol
Mocsa, in the county of Komorn, has
| just come to light. Last November
j the offices of the community were
j broken into, and some money was
j stolen. Thirteen persons were ar
rested, and, on their refusal to con
fess, were abominably tortured. They
| were bound hand and foot, and beaten
with boxwood sticks by the magis
j trate and his assistants, who nlsc
| lighted methylated spirits under the
bare feet of one prisoner, aud then
poured the burning spirit over them.
The unhappy wretch, in order to
escape further torture, said that he
had taken the money and buried it
near a pond. His prosecutors, on
failing to find it, became more en
raged than over, and ran pointed
knives under his tiuger-nails. Other
prisoners were starved for days, aud,
with their hands tied behind them,
wore bound to frames aud left there
until they fainted. After all these
horrors, the actual thief, who was
still at liberty gave himself up to the
public prosecutor at Komorn. The
Criminal Court is now making a strict
inquiry into tho affair.—Vienna Cor

Wild Excitement on a Carette.
People who Imagine that the carettc j
Is a sedate and quiet vehicle, fit only
for old women and elderly men who
wish to avoid excitement, are cherish
ing a delusion. As a typical carette
experience a trip from the river to
Madison street, recently, may be
cited. Directly in front of Cen
tral Music hall the carette, which
was on the wrong side of the street,
collided with'a heavy truck loaded with
coops containing live chickens. The
truck driver expostulated with the car
ette driver, and ordered him to take the
other side of the street at once. The I
latter declined. Hot words followed, |
and a moment later a challenge to a I
duel was given and accepted. Both i
men drew their whips and stood up on
their seats. The lashes flew, and the
horses, thinking the blows intended
for them, started up and pulled the ve
hicles apart. The carette turned out I
so quickly that a beer wagon almost [
took its wheel off. A moment later, I
while the passengers were recovering I
from the excitement, a cable train j
swept round the corner of Madison j
street and was stopped within three
inches of the venerable equines at
tached to the carette, while the passen-!
gers scrambled out in confusion and
alarm.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
