ILVER ADVANCING.
UPPLY AND demand justify
the rise in price,
lp d by the Prospective Conference
e e
and the Eastern War.
Commenting on the position of the
diver market the London Times says
hat the free speculation in silver on
he likelihood that the cessation of the
Ihino-Japanese war would create u
demand for the metal may have
ar ae the desired result
o wait longer for
'han they imagine The idea is cer
ainlv well founded. This, the Times
iinks, in addition to a general belief
hat the coming conference will assist
iilver, is the principal cause of the ad
ance’in price. It is not would likely, be how- ef
ver that these causes
ective if it were not for the fact that
he production of the metal has been
estrieted by its recent cheapness.
The Times believes that silver was
oo cheap at 28, and that notwith
tanding the rise to 30 was caused by
peculation, the conditions of supply
aid demand justify it.
The Australian colonies have in¬
ducted their agents general at Lon
lon to urge upon the British govern
aent first, to permit each colony to be
^presented directly in any interna
ional silver conference that may be
•ailed, or, if that may not be consid
( red advisable, that the colonies oon
ointly may be allowed direct repre
ation.
Several of the colonies, notably
South Australia, produce silver, but
virile their own mints are allowed to
•oin gold, all receive their silver coin
rom the imperial mint in England.
The bimetallic talk in Europe is
;iven by some as a factor in the bullish
endency of silver, but that is open to
.rgument. Prices of exchange for
astern markets—India, China and
r apan—have risen, and that has helped
n the upward trend of prices for the
oetal.
As a matter of fact the transactions
a the bullion itself greatly overshadow
hose in the certificates. Be the
sauses what they may , the rise in silver
las been steady anu sure, and Wall
itreet is beginning to wonder just how
ong it will be before the tide is at
lood.

HONORING CONFEDERATE DEAD
A Monument in Chicago to b* Dedi¬
cated in May.
General J„ C. Underwood, ex-lieu
tenant governor of Kentucky, and one
of the most prominent southern men,
is the author and executor of the
movement to build over the 6,000 dead
confederate soldiers who sleep in
Oakwoud park, Chicago, a handsome
monument commemorating their brave
deeds and heroic fortitude.
He has succeeded in this magnifi¬
cent work, the monument has been
completed—the only confederate mon¬
ument north of the Mason and Dixon
line—has been recognized by the
United States government and will be
unveiled with imposing ceremonies on
May 30th.
The dedication of this monument,
the ceremonies attending which will be
participated in by prominent generals
of both armies, will be a great event
in American Jiistory. It will make a
great step toward cementing the divi¬
sion between the sections and will an¬
nihilate much of the bitterness that
remains. It will be an occasion that
will attract the people all over the
country, and no one can fail to appre¬
ciate its significance.
The monument is a handsome affair.
The pedestal is of Georgia marble and
the statue is of fine bronze. It is
forty feet high from the base to the
top of the statue. Surrounding the
monument will be four cannons, ap¬
propriated by the United States gov¬
ernment by special act of congress,
approved January 25, 1895. The bill
making this appropriation was pushed
through the Benate by the efforts of
Senator John B. Gordon. The sena¬
tors recognized his good purpose in
the matter and lent him their willing
assistance. The bill passed the house
during the last session without a dis¬
senting voice.
This act of the government consti¬
tutes the first recognition ever shown
the confederacy by the government,
and for that reason is very significant.
The dedication speech will be made
b y General Wade Hampton, The
southern generals who will be present
are: General Fitzhugh Lee, General
John B. Gordon, General W. W. Ca¬
bell, Harry ITeth, E. C. Walthall, L.
L. Lomax, Marcus J. Wright, M. Y.
Butler, Clement A. Evans, F. C. Arm¬
strong, Eppa Hunton, William H.
Payne and others. From the federal
side are expected General Schofield,
General Flagler, General Lawler and
General Palmer. The Grand Army
posts will participate in the exercises
and hundreds of confederates will be
present. The Grand Army men have
been for two years assisting in decor¬
ating the graves of the southern sold¬
iers.
General Underwood is very enthu¬
siastic over the outlook for a great
event on May 30th. He expects He many also
southerners to be present.
expects every southern city of si«e to
send a carload of flowers.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR VOTES.
How Lobbyists Attempted to Capture
the Arkansas Legislature.
The legislature of Arkausas has not
since Treasurer Woodruff cleaned the
entire contents of the state treasury,
experienced such a sensation as that
which was sprung Saturday when Bep
resentative Yancey, of Phillips county,
rose from his seat in the house and,
reading from a carefully prepared doc¬
ument, disclosed how the Iron Mount¬
ain railroad, through its lobby, had
been able to buy and control the leg¬
islature of the state at the rate of $100
per vote.
This denouncement is the result of
efforts which have been made during
this session of the legislature to get
through a railroad commission bill,
directed against the Iron Mountain
company and opposed by that com¬
pany. The bill was defeated once and
is now pending again after a second
introduction. Mr. Yancey’s statement
is that Representative Cox approached
him on behalf of the railway company
and $100 was offered. Yancey seemed
to consent and introduced Repre¬
sentative Wagner, ostensibly as an¬
other purchasable legislator, though
really as a witness of the trans¬
action. Dean, the railway company’s
land agent in Arkansas, represented
the company and there was no reason
to doubt that enough legislators were
under pay to swing the vote of the as¬
sembly in favor of the railway com¬
pany. Jones, of Marion, and Roberts,
of Madison, were implicated.
When Yancey had concluded the im¬
plicated legislators arose and vocifera¬
ted their denials. The house, never¬
theless, framed a committee to inves¬
tigate the charges. The state is aroused
to fever heat.
A DEFAULTING CASHIER.
A Chicago National Bank Official Short
$50,000 in His Accounts.
It has been discovered that F. W.
Griffin, assistant cashier of the North¬
western National bank of Chicago, is
a defaulter to the extent of $50,000.
He has been arrested and has con¬
fessed. The Northwestern National is
a bank of ample means with capital
and resources amounting to a million
and half dollars, and one of the most
conservative institutions in Chicago.
Griffin’s shortage will in no wise affect
the standing of the bank and creates
no excitement.
Christian Endeavbr.
The Christian Endeavor convention
which meets in Boston, Mass., July
10th-15th, has already aroused a great
deal of interest. The committee of
arrangements have been granted the
use of Boston common for a big open
air meeting of a patriotic meeting July
4th. Governor Greenhalge, Dr. Don¬
ald McLaurin of Detroit, Dr. S.
Smith, the author of “America,” and
several other prominent persons will
be present and speak.
Dr. Smith is to write a special hymn
for the convention. The singing at
the common meeting will be by a choir
of 2,000 voices, assisted by an immense
orchestra. Fully fifty thousand Chris¬
tian Endeavorers will take part in the
meeting, in addition to the outsiders
who will be attracted by the novelty
of the occasion.

Big Headed Women not Beautiful.
A woman with a big head can never
be handsome, much less beautiful.
The “big head” that is sometimes ac¬
quired is not the sort referred to, but
that actual largeness of skull and fea¬
tures which savors of disproportion
and can never be symmetrical when
combined with feminine shoulders.
Websterian massiveness may please
the Willards and the Somersets,
though never the admirers of beauty
and womanly grace, and to whom size
means nothing intellectually, provided
the gray matter has room enough to
exercise its precise function. There
is an antediluvian notion that the
small head of the antelope or the deer
signifies a type well followed by nature
in the construction of fair women, and
even if the present development of
brains does physically affect the race,
this standard must remain the truest
and best while the Yenus of Milo con¬
tinues to exist. —Boston Herald ,.

Some officers at the naval station at

some way a small dried leaf had slip¬

of the leaf was left in the metal. The
discovery was afterwards used in dec¬

so accurate in operation that even the
