The improved business conditions which have followed the refusal of the people of the United, States to adopt the free coinage of silver are not more apparent anywhere than in tho Treasury of tho United Spates, where offers of gold are now being rejected. Not for years has this condition of affairs existed at tho Treasury until in tho past few weeks, during which time orders have been issued to tho subtreasurers to make no effort to make further accumulations of gold and within tho past few days the department has refused offers of shipments of coin from Ban Francisco in exchange for other currency upon t.ho ground that it has all tho gold that can possibly bo needed for tho operation of the treasury or the pro¬ tection of its credit.

Among Hie number convicted were men who stood high in Hie business, political ami social life of a thriving little city, We hope that tho sqecoss that crowned every effort of justice will be a lesson to other car pirates that sooner or later their sins will find them out. and l lwt justice will prevail. m that , , Editor 777T— *“r Braun ------ episode — has given co-education a decided black- | ***■ 1 be accusation . that the leading j co-education west is “a manufactory institution of of the ministers south- ; | and magdalen” does not tend to : i •*«»*- ::;';Ti 1 ''A; *• »**««- ;i A 1 ”L s b , ./ ’ 'A ' ,, x A, "> '“ US ' J 1 be Hrann episode is . certainly . a very j D'durtimato one.

Among other bal¬ lads the singer had rendered “Rory O’More’’ in her best style aud had re¬ ceived much applause. a ’ h e °’ d ^ NXTf iu tho front Keat . the ht:tlc !u,!1 where 111 the enter- tainweut was given, looked at first puz- zled and then distressed as the familiar song* proceeded, and at the close of the concert she waited to speak to the young woman. “My dear,” she said in a quivering voice, “I remember when ‘Rory O’More’ first came out. I have nevei been a siuger myself, but have always been interested in music, and I am sure I never heard tho words as you sang them tonight. I am not deaf. My hear¬ ing is unusually good, but will you tell me where you get your authority for singing: He poulticed Hie hock, Ami ghe salted it down ? For, though I cannot remember the original words, I am suro they were not liko that. ” The young woman’s face was crim¬ j son as she showed the old lady her copy of the song and pointed to the words: Ho bold as the hawk And she soft as the dawn. —Youth's Companion.
