Atlakta, April 27.?Speaker Charles F. Crisp iu au interview at his home in Americas, declared himself to-day to a staff correspondent of the Constitution in favor of the free coinage of silver. He believes the Democrats should nominate a Western man with a military record, for President, and says the party should not nominate Mr. Cleveland for a third term-?that no man should have a third term. The Speaker it in fairly good health, but his'physician has ordered him to spend the summer quietly and he ex? pects to leave shortly for Ashaville. "The platform," Baid Mr. Crisp obser? vantly, "should declare for the free coin? age of silver direct and with a set of prin? ciples responding to the demands of the common people; we should select some good man from the West?some man with a military record, identified with the dominant sentiment that now con? trols the party, and go forth with confi? dence to the victory which the people give those who are brave enough to fight for it. The only fear I have is, that the people are not in favor of free silver, but that the free silver people, who are in the majority, may divide into factions, run? ning two or three candidates, in which event the election would be thrown into the House, which could elect a Republi? can. "Such a contest as I have outlined would cause many people to make new party alignments. There are Democrats strongly wedded to the gold theory and many Republicans just as strongly wedded to free silver. Of course, these men would have to choose between their old party and their convictions on this issue. The Democrats of the East want gold, the Republicans of the West want silver. The re-alignment will be as interesting as they will be puzzling, but to the lottery of politics the whole issue must be committed. "Of course," said Mr. Crisp, "there is a contingency in which the people might not be called upon to Bettle the question ?that is, the possible action of an inter? national conference. That would be the best and easiest method of re-establish? ing silver, and with less of the element of experiment in it. If such a conference should be called and it took action restor? ing silver so that the people would be satisfied, then we would have the final action for 1896. In the meantime, how? ever, the people of the United States will be moving along to that result in their own constitutional way. The people want the free coinage of silver. I am in favor of its free coinage, as I have always been, and the Democratic voters will declare for it next year." '"There is some talk," it was suggested, "that you may be a candidate for the 'Presidency next year ?" "I see," said Mr. Crisp, smilingly, "that for went of a better subject many newspapers are printing editorials on that line. Not in the lifetime of the gen? eration passing off the stage will a South? ern man be eleoted. The question of I residence, for a long time to come, will be a controlling one, and no man who was ever in the Confederate army dan aspire to' that office. We should get our next candidate from the West.- The talk of Mr. Cleveland for a third term, under any conditions, has ho basis. The people will not make that break in the record. ' His views on the financial question are not shared by the people, and the condi? tions will be in many other ways differ? ent from what they were in 1892." Personally, Mr. Crsp regiets the man? ner in which the silver Issue is being forced to the front. ' "This is an off year," be said, "and it is fully six months be? fore the campaign of 1896 oan be intelli? gently entered upon, and if the discus? sion is continued, as now seems to be inevitable, it subjects us to a campaign which will cover nearly two years of political excitement. Personally, I would have preferred that all discussion should have been postponed until the coming v/inter, when, under the condi? tions that will then exist, we could enter upon the race which will be run for the supremacy in this country. "From the time of the tariff commis? sion of I860 down to a year ago?fourteen years?the cry for tariff reform had its varying fortunes, resulting at last in a revision, which I believe will be bo ac? ceptable to the people that there will be no general raov? made upon it for years to come The disposition of the tariff clears the way for the settlement of the silver qu>3stion. That question is now fully before us." "Will it be the one issue before the people next year?" "It will," said he, "and in such away that it must be settled .directly, not by subterfugs or evasion, but openly, so that the people may understand it. It will not down. The fact that progress in silver rehabilitation has been slow should not be discouraging. This is a big coun? try, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with probably 70,000,000 of the most civilized people in the world. The basis of all law with us is the will of the people. . When after years of discussion and often con? trary action, they made up their minds for tariff reform, there was no power on earth strong to resist it. The silver ques? tion 1b going through the samo course of publio discussion. It is meeting with defeats, and victories.just in the same ratio as characterized the tariff fight. Just as in that fight, the silver men will have their battle royal; then the Ameri? can people will award the victory." "How do you think the question will be settled?'' "The majority of the American people in both political parties areiu favor of the restoration of the free coinage of silver. They are a conservative people, respecting all rights and moving siowly that they may not disturb them. They may be repressed onee In a while, bat once they take up a question, there will be no cessation until it is bronght to a culmination. The American people are to-day behind the free silver movement and they will push it on to success and have silver re-established to its old equality with gold. When the people take up a question, the party succeeds which has the foresight and the wisdom to constitute itself the agency through which their desires can be aoco'mplisbed. This great financial question, which has come to us side by side with the tariff question, will be settled likewise by the Democratic party. In the next campaign the rehabilitation of silver will be the main and controling issue upon which the Democracy will appeal to the people. Party platforms should always be plain and direct. I do not believe in those planks which are so written as to catch voters coming and going. "Parties should be honest to the peo? ple. Whatever room existed for different constructions of the platform of 1892 should no longer exist and for this pur? pose that to be adopted in 1896 should be bo plain that even a school boy could un? derstand it." Speaking of Secretary Morton's letter, Mr. Crisp said: "Yes, I have read the letter in which Mr. Morton declares him? self for the gold standard. But have you not noticed that President Cleveland has disclaimed responsibility for the utteran? ces of his Secretary ?" Then he added: "If Secretory Morton bad written a letter favoring the free coinage of silver, Mr. Cleveland would probably have dismissed him from his cabinet, instead of merely disclaiming his act." Game Cock and Hawk. Arcadia, La., April 15.?Mr. Sanders, living just on the edge of Claiborne, owns a fine young game cook, Anthony, of which he is duly proud. Although Anthony is not fully grown, he Is game all over. Sanders has only to hold out bis hand, when the cock will mount to bis forearm and begin to crow lustily at being bidden. Anthony has established bis reputation as cock of the walk in the barnyard, and the other roosters have to betake themselves to the neighbors for protection. The other day Sanders wit? nessed a very creditable exhibition of Anthony's prowess. Just as he was about to enter the barn? yard he saw a hawk\swoop down and bury his talons deep down into a big 1 Brahma hen, which at once began to squawk and alarm the whole place. It j soon became evident, however, that the hawk bad miscalculated his strength. The big hen was too heavy for him, and be only stuck hard and fast, unable to extract his claws or to mount with his prey. At this interesting moment Anthony appeared, crowing a valiant response to the Brahama's cries for help. The cook seemed to take in the situation at a glance, and walked into that hawk, giving a one, two, three with his spurs that practically did the business. Theee lusty blows, however, relieved the hawk of his embarrassing situation to a certain extent, as it set him free of bis hold upon the hen. But be was too much played out to fly, though he was quite willing to fight it out with the cock on his own ground. Sanders stood by to see fair play and let the birds have their way. This was Anthony's first foe in the hawk line, and be seemed anxious to get as much prac? tice on him as he could. But in turn the j hawk was no fool. He dabbed and ' scratched like an old stager, and managed pretty often to fight shy of Anthony's spurs. Finally the hawk got jammed up in the fence corner, when the cock took advantage of the situation and gave the death blow, crowing proudly when the I fight was over. Since then a hawk cannot come within fifty feet of the earth In Anthony's neigh? borhood. He seems constantly on the alert for them and if one but passes over? head be crows a challenge that makes the echoes ring, and has frequently been seen to flv twenty feet high to try to strike tbe bird in midair. in Expert Forger. Greenville, S. C, April 30.?As? tounding developments resulted here to-day by the arrest of S. C. Dickson on three warrants charging him with forgery. The warrants were sworn out by George A. Norwood, president of the Greenville Savings bank. Dickson is the leading real estate dealer of the city and has been doing a large business. It is learned that for twenty years he has been carrying on an elaborate system of forgeries, his forgeries being confined to the character of papers used in the real estate business. He would make deeds to himself of im? aginary lands as well as of real tracts, signing fictitious names to the same. He then used them as securities in borrowing money. He forged mort? gages on real estate to secure forged notes payable to himself and deposited these with bankers and money lenders as security for loans. The number of forged and false deeds will never be known, as he kited, taking up old forgeries with new ones, using new names and new lands for each transaction. When pressed by the holders of his paper he could always produce new deeds and new mortgages to renew the old. In one case developed to-day he had borrowed $1,800 from each of three individuals on three duplicate mort? gages given by the same person on the same land, and even the valid mort? gage is valueless, as the mortgager olaims that he had paid the mortgage and given it to Dickson to be marked satisfied. Dickson made a clean breast of his transactions and says he has not a dollar of the money fraud? ulently obtained. This is probably true, as most of the money represented by the existing forgeries has been used in paying interest on his out? standing debts. The losses of hold? ers of his forged papers will amount to from $12,000 to $20,000. It is believed that Dickson will not attempt to give the $3,000 bond re? quired for his appearance at court and that he will also plead guilty to the indictment'. Dickson was in Texas pushing sales of a cotton chopper, of which he is the inventor, when the discovery of his forgeries was made. He promptly came back to Greenville' when his wife informed him of the situation and the charges against him. There is an impression among some of those who know him intimately that he has been mentally unbalanced for a number of years, and his prompt return to the state suggests that this may be so. None of the losers will be seriously injured by his transactions, as all of them are men of means. Dickson was always a wild, visionary man, and says he went on with his forgeries believing that some of the enterprises in Which he was engaged would be so profitable that he would be enabled to take up his obligations and have a snug sum for himself. He is in jail tonight. Petroleum, the Great Illnmlnant. The advanced political economist and student of social economy has selected among the exponents of the civilization of mankind two salient industries. The old assertion, that the nation is the most civilized which manufactures the most soap, is far from being a mere hint at the beauties of cleanliness. The real meaning of the assertion is that in the manufac? ture of soap there is involved an enormous bulk of chemical processes. Sulphuric acid works produce the acid with which salt is treated in the first step of the soda ash process, and sul? phuric acid works present almost or quite -the greatest development of modern chemical industry. The salt itself has to be produced either from mines or from brine, while the mining of sulphur and pyrites and the production of nitric acid are in? volved in this first step of the soda ash process. The next steps of the process produce the carbonate, but soap is as yet far off. In its product? ion are joined the tallow manufacturer, the producer of the various vegetable oils, the resin manufacturer, and the lime burner. The country that man? ufactures the most soap is the one that puts these and other chemical and mining industries to the greatest possible nse. Artificial light is another of the great developments of the day which is accepted as an exponent of the progress of civilization. In olden times, when it was said that a manu? script smelt of the midnight oil, it1 indicated the fact that the chimneylcss lamps of 2,000 years ago produced an odor. The candles of old times re? quired snuffing every ten minutes to dispose of the unconsumed carbona? ceous residue of the wick. For thous? ands of years nothing short of a torch or a bonfire was known that would give a reasonably strong light. So great were the difficulties of producing satisfactory illumination, that what would seem to-day almost trivial in? ventions were really very great ones. The Argand lamp, with the central draught, and the self-snuffing candle, with wick plated and dipped in borax solution, really represent important improvements, Burning springs have long been noted as one of the curoisities of nature. It is now more than thirty years ago since the burning springs received their logical development in the establishing of the great petroleum industry, when the oil regions of Pennsylvania began to overflow with mineral oil. The next development was the production of natural gas, and the latter for a while figured as the grandest pyrotechnic of nature. There were not wanting prophets who said that this astonishing manifestation of the powers of nature would cease sooner or later, and already the natural gas supply of the country is diminish? ing. Within the last few weeks the price of petroleum, the congener of natural gas, has rapidly risen, which may be taken as indicating a diminution of the supply. Those who livo in large cities where the light of gas, itself a recent invention, has been superseded by the electric light; where the streets lighted by the arc lamp are almost as brilliant by night as by day, may feel little concerned in the price of kerosene oil; but throughout the land, far and wide, every farmhouse is lighted by kerosene. Many villages are entirely dependent upon it for their light, and any curtailment thereof is to be re? garded as a retrograde step in the march of civilization. To the traveler abroad one of the most homelike sights are the great piles of blue oil barrels, indicating America's supply of artificial light to the world. On this same supply of petroleum is based one of the greatest business organizations of the country, one which has had the greatest in? fluence on the affairs of the land from the business, social and even educa? tional,standpoint. Should the supply of oil from American territory cease, the country would be most profoundly affected from almost every standpoint. It is to be hoped that, inspired by the idea of giving a reasonable price to their product, the well diggers will succeed in their quest for new oil rock i and for new oil territory. It seems as if it were within the possibilities that we might become importers of oil from Russia and the Caspian regions, while hitherto we have ex? ported the refined products by the ship-load. In spite of the electric light and of gas light, kerosene re? mains to-day the great light of the people, and its adaptability to the humblest farmhouse would make its curtailment a national calamity.? Scientific American. Gallery of Crooks A gallery of crooks and forgers has been added to the business outfit of every bank in the country belonging to the National Bankers' Association. Yesterday handsomely bound copies of a very interesting volume, contain? ing excellent likenesses of a great army of bank crooks, forgers and bank robbers, were received by a number of Atlanta banks. The volume is the first that has been fssued in accordance with the movement decided upon at the Baltimore convention last May and is one of rare value. The Atlanta bankers have filed their copies away and the officials of each institution who have to come in per? sonal contact with the patrons of the bank will familiarize with the faces of the rogues. In this way they hope to become familiar with the features of all the bank crooks and in case one of them should ever appear at the bank window they will be able to protect the bank against him. For some time members of the National Bankers' Association have favored this plan of protection for themselves against the sharpers who prey upon banking institutions. It was their idea that this method of protection would be more direct and more effective than that rendered by the police and detective departments. Through the working of this plan each bank official would be a detective. The opportunities of bank officials are much better in the matter of detect? ing this class of criminals than are those of the detective bureaus. The matter received favorable action at the convention and the secretary, whose headquarters are in New York, was instructed to go ahead and pre? pare the picture book, with descrip? tions and histories of all the bank crooks that could be obtained. Each bank lent valuable aid in the prepara? tion of the work. The bankers in the several cities secured photographs and descriptions of noted bank crooks from the detectives' rogue galleries and from other sources and forwarded fchem to the secretary. With these and such pictures and descriptions as he secured from other sources, the secretary compiled the handsome vol? ume which was issued yesterday. The book received yesterday is but the beginning of this branch of work which the bankers have inaugurated. The banks will continue to furnish pictures and descriptions of crooks whenever such fall into their hands. It is the purpose of the association to accumulate a valuable and extensive gallery with accompanying descrip? tions of the crooks. The book received yesterday is an interesting volume. It will be of great value to the banks and will doubtless aid them greatly in the apprehension of crooks. It will be a splendid auxiliary of the detective departments of the country, and it is the hope of the association to reach a high state of efficiency in a few years. ?Atlanta Constitution. A Canine Life Saver. In the March number of Our Dumb Animals, Boston, Mass., the follow? ing account of how a dog was instru? mental in saving the lives of eight seamen is given: "Some years ago a vessel was driven on the beach of Lydd, in Kant, Eng? land. The sea was rolling furiously. Eight poor fellows were crying for help ; but a boat could not be got off, through the storm, to their assistance, and they were in constant peril, for any moment the ship was in danger of sinking. At length a gentleman came along the beach accompanied by his Newfoundland dog. He directed the animal's attention to the vessel, and put a short stick in his mouth. The intelligent and courageous dog at once understood his meaning, sprang into the sea and fought his way through the. angry waves toward the vessel. He could not, however, get close enough to deliver that with which he was charged ; but the crew understood what was meant, and they made fast a rope to another piece of wood and threw it toward him. The noble ani? mal at once dropped his own piece of wood and immediately seized that which had been thrown to him; and then, with a degree of strength and determination scarcely credible?for he was again and again lost under the waves?he dragged it through the surge, and delivered it to his master. A line of communication was thus formed with the vessel, and every man on board was rescued." ! ? It will not make yourt heart any whiter to try to blacken somebody else. Bncklens Arnica Salve.

It Ftirnishes I ull Opportunity for Pretty Hound Work. Form of Sport That Is Growing: In Favor In Enplane], and the Antl SportluR League Cannot Touch It. Were the Anti-Sporting league to succeed in stopping the slaughter of all wild animals, it is consoling for the sportsman to remember that there will yet remain at least one out-of-door pastime that preserves the best features of his amusement, and which the most virtuous philanthropist can take no excep? tion, says Longman's Magazine. Instead of shooting pheasants or chasing the fox, he may go out and hunt truffles. This amusement will provide him with abundant exercise among the autumn and winter woods, whose unequealed tints lend half their charm to ordinary open air pastime. It furnishes full op? portunity for what hunting-men call pretty hound-work, even though the "hounds" are only little half breed poodles, and the sport de? mands a wood-lore all Its own. No bloodshed is involved, and the con? science is untroubled by any thought of wounded bird or beast creeping away afterward to pine and die. The very dogs are trained and worked exclusively by kindness. Surely, then, it is an innocuous, most gentle and pleasing sport, well fitted to amuse those who love to be in the fields and yet shrink from bloodshed. In a word, It is an ideal amusement for vegetarians. Within the last few years a num? ber of amateurs have acquired truffle dogs for the sake of the amusement, and of these a consider? able proportion, probably a majority, are ladies. But anyone wishing to see how it is done ought, neverthe? less, to go to a professional?a man who, as a rule, is so dependent on a full bag that he does not view his calling as a diversion. No one could earn his entire livelihood from it. The season begins ostensibly in October and lasts till Maren, but ripe truffles are often found in Sep? tember, and they begin to grow scarce after Christmas, so that it may be said to last about four months. In Dorset and Surrey there are men who earn a little by truffle hunting, but the most regular practitioners of the craft belong to Wiltshire. Tradition says that a Spaniard introduced the art to Win terslow about three centuries ago, and that village has ever since practically supplied the English truffle market. The Frenchman with his pig finds most of his truffles under the oak shadows, but Lne Englishman's best ground is below the beech trees. Only under one species of oak?the holly or evergreen variety?do they grow in this country. Next to the beech come the lime and cedar, and they are occasionally obtained in a hazel copse when the twigs are bare and the leaves rotting. The "hazel" truffle- is scarce, but it is said to have a peculiarly fine flavor. No truffles grow under any coniferous tree other than the cedar, nor in any damp, sour soil. It is useless to seek them near reeds, rushes and ferns or where gorse Is plentiful. In very light, sandy ground they do not grow much larger than marbles, and they do not flourish in a strong clay or stiff loam. Swore Himself In. In his reminiscences of the Crimea in 1854, Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood tells a story of a fighting ^general who, during a conflict, was seeu wherever bullets fell most thickly. When not visible his voice was heard encourag? ing Ms men with "a vocabulary bor? rowed from 'the army in Flanders,'" which Sir Evelyn says will not bear repetition. "Years after he was appointed to the Aldershot com? mand, and her majesty happened to ask: 'Has the new general yet taken up his command?' 'Yes, your ma? jesty,' was the apt reply, 'ho swore himself in yesterday.'" uargost Steer in the World. There arrived at the West Phila? delphia stock yards on Friday what is claimed to be the largest steer in the world. The animal, which weighs within a fraction of two tons, is five years old, and was raised near Mechanics burg, Cumberland county. It Is of the Durham variety. A special car was provided for the transportation of the monster beef. The animal is so large, fat and clumsy that after lying down it is with great difficulty that It manages to stand up again, and usually requires the assistance of a gang of cattlemen. The monster is exceedingly docile, and seems to know its name, "Dick," to which it answers when spoken to by its keeper. "Dick" is now on' exhibition at the stock yards and will be until Tuesday, when it will cease to be the largest steer alive. On that day "Dick" will bo trans? formed Into about a ton and a quar? ter of dressed beef. The official records of tho abattoir show that "Dick" is the largest beef that has arrived there in thirty years.?Philadelphia Record.

April 21,1805 43 2 Let Us Lire More at Home. In the past few years the Southern people have made some progress in the matter of producing their food sup? plies, but it is to be feared that the newspaper reports of our increased output of grain, meat and horso feed have created an exaggerated idea of what wc are doing in this respect. Very few of our readers realize the extent of our dependence upon the east and the west for breadstuffs, meat and forage, and they will be sur? prised to learn from the Baltimore Record's figures that the South now pays the North annually over $100, 000,000 for these items. In Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, where it is easy to produce great quantities of grain, hogs and hay, the people are still buying largely from other sections. Among the in? terior towns dealing largely in these articles imported from the North are Bichmond, Lynchburg, Staunton, Ra? leigh, Charlotte, Columbia, Green? ville, Sumter, Spartanburg, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Birmingham, An niston, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Fort Worth, Hous? ton, Dallas, Waco, San Antonio, Meridian, Natchez and Vicksburg, to say nothing of our seabord cities. The Record mentions the fact that, whereas Tennessee and Virginia are splendid grain and hog producing States, Memphis and Nashville handled in one year $9,386,473 worth of wes? tern foodstuffs, while Norfolk be? tween 1888 and 1893 handled about 150,000,000 pounds of western pork, bacon and lard, all of which could have been produced at home. It need not be said that it is the worst possible policy for us to pay out $100,000,000 a year for supplies which we are able to produce on our own farms. But the estimate of this un? necessary expense should not stop here. We buy our canned goods from the North and ma^y other articles of food. Then, we are almost entirely dependent upon the outside for our furniture, wagons, tools, woodware, fine cotton goods, shoes and a thous? and things that '?ould be cheaply manufactured here where we have plenty of raw material and labor. Add all these items to the $100,000,000 spent for food, and it is safe to say that we spend several hundred mil o Offer You a (F iEflEDY Which INSURES Safety of Life to Moth- S er and Child. <: i EXPECTANT-, MOTHERS, {"MOTHERS' ?

If we propose to continue this policy, how can we expect the South to grow rich ? Why increase our earnings, if we arc going to spend them abroad ? Money seems to run through the South as water runs through a sieve. Let us call a halt, and begin to live more at home.

The Hindoos, who arc probably more terribly exposed to the ravages of poisonous serpents than any other people in the world, declare that no venomous creature of that class will bite or otherwise injure babies. When the women go to the cane and cotton fields they always take their children with them, and do not hesitate to deposit the little innocents on grassy plots adjoining, even when it is known that such places literally swarm with cobras and blood snakes. English observation in India appears to bear out the Hindoos' assertion, that ba? bies are snake-proof. The reason as? signed is that the serpent is the wisest of God's creatures, and that it knows better than to bite one utterly sinless. ? The Dutch are not fond of lazy people, aud they have a very good way of curing persons who can but won't work. If a pauper who is able to work refuses to do so they put him in a cis? tern, to which a pump is attached, and turn on a stream of water. This streams flows into the cistern just slow enough to enable the lazy person by lively pumping to keep the water from getting up over his head. ? At a spot on the highway, near Avon, N.
