She was the owner of the frac .tious cow which in a barn in the rear of No. .137 De Coven street, on a memorable night October. 1871, kicked over a lamp and rted a blaze which cost Chicago $19,0Q0, Since the night of that historic confla. ration Mrs. O'Leary's life was embittered -by the popular belief that she was indirectly ponsible for the loss of life and enormous destruction of property. She denied the story vigorously and the committee which a investigated the fire and cause made affda 'vits that tes allegations about herself, the cow and lamp were not true. TRAGEDY IN A CHURCH.

A ng the men who early felt the benems Of eoyling. and did not hesitate to expend money, is Colonel Ben. S. Lovell, of Boston, Treasurer of the John P. Lovell Arms Com many, of that city. Their firm name has been a familiar one for over fifty years, hav ing been established in 1840. doing a sport ing goods and gun business. Being in a kindred trade, it was but natural that they should engage in the making and selling of bicycles. Their success has been unbounded. as they have made a name - for the Lovell Diamond Cycles that is a familiar house hold one in every hamlet in the land. It is not possible to have done that without cost, and a considerable one, too, as readers of current literature will admit, for have not all of us encountsred the symbolic words "Lovell Diamonds?" To estimate thegrs amount that has been expended for advertis ing would be a difficult task, but it is said that? considerably over $100,000 was spent by [ them during 1894. All the big EasterM dailies had entire pages, which cost lots of money, and the magazines filled many pages exploit ing Lovell Diamond Cycles. Can it be wondered at, then, that cycling lhas become popular, when men like Colonel Lovell spend such sums to make it so? - Colonel Lovell is Treasurer of the John P. L.ovell Arms Company, and is a man of r.ire business attainments, aequired by long ex 'erence and anaptitude possessed by few. Inprivate life he has won the respect and es- 4 teem of every one he has been brought in contact with, while his public record is equally good, on five different occasions rep resenting his town in the Legislature, serving - in both branches. He served on the staff of Governor Long for three consecutive years, and isnowamember of GovernorGreenhalge's sta. He has been a delegate to four National C conventions, and there is not an offiee in the ] gift of his townsmen which would not be at bis disposal were it not for his great business responsibilities. There is no man in the bicycle business more respected than Colonel ( Benj. S. Lovell. and no better bicycle is made j in the world than the Lovell Diamond. T'e'La-ies.

E 7 - t FORHERS GATER A BIG POLITICAL MI4ETING. .t Which Conservativfs have a Re* spectful Hearing. A meeting of the delegates from the ifferent townships of tUnioA county, >r the purpose of conferring together a to what shall be required of the del gates from that county to the Consti-' itional Convention, was held on Mon .ay. The meeting was composed of 1 itizens generally and ten delegates rom each township, of which there are en. When the roll was called it was >und that eighty-one delegates were a attendance. J. W. Gregory was aade permanent chairman and J. M. ireer secretary. On motion of G. W. Whitman the hair appointed a committee of ten, ne from each township, to which all esolutions were referred. Some ob ction was raised to this on the ground hat there was not much time allowed ntil Court reconvened. Mr. Whit man - said that this would facilitate aaters, and that he would rush things long at a lively rate if they would let im run the things a little while. ' While the committee was out the on. Wm. Munro was called upon to ddress the meeting. Mr. Munro ex ressed his surprise at being called ud said that he was not prepared, but dressed the meeting inkbehalf of the 'onservatives, asking that they be al owed equal representation in the Con titutional Convention. He said that t was now in the hands of the Reform action to bring the people together y giving them this representation, bat the chasm was closing anyway,and hat the people were gradually coming ogether; that there was not so much itter feeling between the two factions s there had been. That he could ledge that the Conservative element as as solidly in favor of white su remacy as the reformers were. Mr. Wm. A. Nicholson was called tpon, and said that he would like to ear some expression from the Conser 'atives as to whether they would come nto the primary and abide the result. o this Mr. Munro replied that it was rell known that if th4 Conservatives rought out a candidate he would not tand the ghost of a show, as the other action was in so large a majority. To his it was answered that if a Consor rative took the stump and told his pinions of the needed changes in the ws, if they met the approval of the eople, they would vo.e for him irre pective of party factions. There rere several short speeches along this ne from both sides. Mr. Jeffries said that the Conserva ives were not.beggars, that fhey were he peers of any men and they thought hey knew their rights, and only asked 'or what they thought to be their ights; that he could live under any s that any other white man could. e said it was ridiculous to intimate hat the Conservatives, if allowed a -oice in the Convention, would do ught to interfere with white su )remacy. Taken altogether it was a very hiar onious meeting. There was noill eeling expressed in the speeches from ~ither side. Each seemed to want ,eace and unity of the party, but .the eans of bringing it about was thought .o be one thing by one and another by he other. It is very evident from the present untlook that a strong delegation of the ieform party will be sent from this ~onty. Some of the Reformers are a favor of allowing the Conservatives ne member, wilile others are not in avor of granting anything exo op ht they may win before the people n the stump. The committee returned bringing in he following resolutions that were ead and adopted seriatim. The reso utios passed, with two or three ex ~eptions, withouta argument: Resolved, That we pledge ourselves a white supremacy, to the extent of mur influence, so far as it can be pre erved without fraud, and without dis ranchising white men for other cause han that by which they are now dis 'ranchised. No property qualification hould be necessary as a condition for olding office. 2. That we pledge our influence to he promotion of peace and harmony n unity,based upon what we conceive o be party governmental principles. Ve will not consent to jeopardize the arinciples of popular government as e now have it in South Carolina for ny consideration. 3. We pledge our influence to the ormation of a Constitution that will o guard private rights as that it will me impossible to force individuals to may taxes for the benefit of corpora- . ions not owned and operated by the : ~overnent. 4. We believe that common school, ndustrial and technological education necessary to the stability of the ighest form of popular government, 'ad advocate that the grade of educa on be guaranteed to the people by e Constitution. 5. We believe purely scientific and lassical education of high grade un ecessary to the stability of popular overnment, and more a luxury than a ecessity; and this grade of education eing abundantly supplied by volun ry effort, we advocate a Constitution iat will prohibit competition on the art of the State with institutions urely literary, classical and scientific i-their character, and of high grade, ipported wholly by voluntary effort. 6. We believe the people should be ft the right to determine by their epresentation in the General As. embly what are the proper subjects of olice legislation, without restriction y the Constitution. 7. We pledge that we will use our iforts tohave sun'dh riien n'oominatid-by rimary election, and to elect such en at the genera! election asewill rep. esent the views contained in these esolutions without regard to factions. 8.

We warn our citizens of ti county against voting for any man t represent them in the State Conventic who does not fully andexplicitly mal known his views and proposed actic on these several subjects. 10. We deplore the dissensions at bitterness now existing among Dem< crats and exbort them to lay asid prejudices and come together with steadfast and patriotic purpose to d( vise the best possible fundamental la for the whole people of the State, fc present and future generations. Resolved, That this Conventio hereby request our county executiv committee to arrange the followin schedule of appointments for a count canvass: July 18, Union, C.

Resolved, That we recommend a equal divisions of managers in the pr mary elections of both factions of t1 Democratic party, as ordered by ti State Democratic executive com mittee.

That we pledge ourselves to pe petuate white supremacy by fair at onorable means. 3. That the homestead provisic :bould be retained in the Constitutio: 4. That the five candidates for tl Constitutional Convention for Yoi County be nominated by primary ele tion, and be divided between the R form and the Conservative factions, follows, to wit: The candidate either faction receiving the highe number of votes in the primary to 1 the first or odd delegate, and the t candidates from the Reform factioi and the two candidates from the Co: seivative faction receiving the ne: highest number of votes in the pi mary to be the remaining four del gates. 5. That in the interest of harmor between the factions and a unit< white people we suggest that each ea: didate for the Constitutional Conve: ~tion pledge himself to abide the resu of the primary election under t2 ~plans above set forth. The resol !tions were unanimously adopted. Before adjourning Chairman Whi extended his sincere congratulatio) on the most happy solution of a yei knotty question.

Iii this I believe tnat I ie am it, harmonzy with :he opinion of the great mass of the American people: Trie cause of bimetallism is so strongly inr erehed 1c the publie favor that no gveit political party hits ever dared to go befo e the peop.!e in avowed opposition to it, and in advc acy of rooOc metillam of any kind. It is doul'.t!ess tide ' that there are sinere bpmetalhis who hesa k8 tate to commit tnemselves to fei e coin'A i. from honest ap'ehensi- as to its effide3 .

Foc the ie pdrpose of catching vctez they are theoreti ,a! bhimetallists; but for the put pose of reapz ing for themselves and .heir allie the golden bas harest froma the single sta-adarcd, they are e, practical gold monometallists. "II rejoice in the hope that the time - for r juggling with ambiguous phrases has passed, and that in the contests of the near future ali those who are in either avowedly df At - heart gold mnonmetaists, will be ranged together, and that. on the other side, thefli will stand opposed to them, all true, practi r al binetallists, who, while they may difer 1I as to methods and details, nevertheless redlz 1. desire ftie restoration to the country Qi both gold and a.llvr as primary money, with the coins of each metal of equal interehange c. able value with the other. ie "The man who says such bimetallic rk coinage of equal interchangeable value would not be 'sonud money' is not can-lid; c and be Who savs that such practical bimetal e- mLm is impossible, onght to avow himself as as a gold mronometallig?, and should cease to C masquerade as a theore, ical bimetallist. On, the other hand. all who believe that suon st pracitcal bilmetlitism is possible. ought to >e adjust among themselves differences . of . method and of detall, 6nd make commol; cause'against the advocates of the single gold s standard, whethar such advocates stand out n- boldly as avowed monometallists, or adroitly t conceal their true character under the dis - guise of theoretical bimetallists. "True bimetallism means the use of both e- gold and silver coin as the money of final payment. A necessary consequence of -this I that practical bimetallism necessitatesgold Sand silver coin of equal4 intercbangeable ad value, and opposes a depreciated coin of ni- either metal. Such depreciated coin of - either metal would cause the coin of the other ~tmetal~ to disapjear from active cireulation, and ifsuch aepreciation continued, the re le sult would be practical monometallism. A n- single standard of either metal will entail the -evils of monometallism. Bimetallism is in consistent with monometallism of any kind. Le There is not in the world a suffiiency of as either gold or silver, taken alone, to supply the coin necessities to furnish the money of flnal payment req~uired for the business of the world. This insufficiency of either met ci- al is a constantly increasing insuffciency, ~through the rapid and continuing increase in the world's population and business devel opment. The earnest contention of the mo st nometallist-is that all nations should have es thesame standard. If, in accordance with this view, all the nations now using the sil ver standard should adopt the single gold standard, this ir.suffeiency would be grossly increased. It is difficlt to conceive that a RD gold monometallist could ber found who would seriously contend that in such case the gold of the world would be adequate to bi the demands which would be made upon it. se On the other hand, if all nations should adopt the single silver standard, the possible sup .ply of silver would be insuffiient for the 1'purpose. To meet the demand for the amsount of money of final payment necessary ato do the business of the world, the use of all both the gold and the silver of the world 10which is available for coinage is necessary, n The exclusion of either metal from equal r- rights of coinage necessarily results in mak ~ing the coin of the excluded metal merely 'token money, and certainly effects a contrac ze tion of the volume of the money of final pay r-. ment by confining the same to the other emetal, the coinage of which is free and un 8limited. From this contraction of the volume id of money of final payment, result disaaters se and financial distress too painfulily known .i to us all, in the loss of personal fortunes, the stagnation of t,:isines', and the paralysis of menterprise. ci- "There is no root.a for denial that by the demonetization of silver, gold has largely Sappreciated, and silver has been correspond Singly depreciated, in relative value. Be 1 verse the conditions by the demonetization a of gold and the remonetization of silver, and the relative values of these two metals would C- also promptly be reversed. Silver would be ~the appreciated, and gold would be the de )fpreciated metal. Men may theorize and dis ouss until the crack of doom upon the ques tica of the true ratio between the two metals, ~and at last the only solution mu;. 'oe found in prcia experimenit and that practical t experiment can only be satisfactorily made by coining the two metals' upoo terms of 1exact and perfect equality. The true .ratio 3- annot be shown so long as one metal is -allowed the free and unlimited coinage d which is denied by the law to the other. When silver and gold are thus coined upon terms of equality, the true ratio or relative o value of the two metals will be correctly de . mnonstrated by experience. If, as many con fidently believe, ,and as all patriots should Y earnastly desire, the free and unlimited coin . age of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 shall prove that the coins of the two meal, when coined en terms of 0 perfect equality, are at such ratio, of equal, ) interchangeable value, the important ques -.tion will be most happily solved upon a basis which will do justice to both debtor and creditor, and restore the proper relative Y values of property and money. If, on the contrary, after a fair trial of such ratio, ma*l" upon terms of aneh perfet equalIty, and the coins of the two metals should not prove ol eQ faI interehangeaba value, the exoeriment tlius made will show practically what is the to true ratio, and the true ratio, when thus er asertained. should be made the legal ratio. Zr"ur people of this section are not inter este~d in the products of the silver mines, but d yare' very deeply intereated In having is that suficeient volume of money of final pay es mient which cans only be supplied by the coin age upon terms of perfect equality of all the cdi. and silver avaliable for that purpose. 3"Thre maintens~nce of the single -gold a .m:dard immensely increases the power of the money certers, and makes them the absolrute nmasters of the finances and b'.isinesr t-of the whole nation.

Gssip from the National CapitoI by Our Regular Correspondent. About the most impor'tant event connected with the opening week of the fiscal year was the removal of Prof. Harrington, who has been chief of the Weather Bureau ever since it passed under the control of civilians. About the middle of last month President Cleveland asked for his resignation; but be declined to resign. Prof. Harrington says he was removed because he would not give his consent - to replacing skilled scientists em ployed by the bureau with politicians. Secre tary Morton refuses to discuss the matter, but his friendssay that the whole trouble has ome because of the failure of Prof. Harrmng ton to recognize that he was a subordinate of the Secretary of Agriculture. You can be ieve either you please. Every once in a while there is more or less agitation on the subject of tak ing our .con sular service out of polities and putting it on a strictly business basis. One of those agita tions is now on. It was started by Secretary lney before he left Washington on his vaca tion, by the announcement of his intention to revive a rale originated by President Grant, requiring all applicants for consulships to pass an examination before being appointed to offie, and it has been kept up since, and will be heard from in Congress. Representa tive Livingston, of Georgia, just back from a visit to Venezuela, talked interestingly on the sbject. He said: "The contrast between the average British consul and the average American consul is so marked as to be ap parent even to the most prejudiced American who goes abroad. The Englishman is con stantlyseeking to divert trade to his country and to secure the importation of English goods. He is business, first, last and all the time, and everything he does Is for the good of England. Our consuls want society. and they sit around, drawing their salaries. There are some exceptions, of course, and I am not mentioning names. I do think, though, that there ought to be a change In the consular service. As a Congressman I have done my share in recommending men for these places, but I am willing to quit and have consuls appointed through some other agency than political recommendation. Senators and Congressmen are much to blame for the way they pay their political debts by procuring a .pointments of consuls. The trouble is not wvith the President, but with the system. If we could have our consuls appointed because they were quiah fed and if. after appointment, they could be sure of promotion for services rendered, we would see the foreign trade of this country inrease wonderfully. Our consuls would be alive to American commercial interests to a degree which is not pow apparent, and I be lieve that in South America especially we would be able to build up an enormous busi nes for American goods. If Secretary Qiney is in earnest in his new move he will find in e a warm supporter on the floor of the Huse, and I can give him some practical ob..-ervatin +k theaneesityor a n hnme" THE COMMERCIAL REPORTS. lusiness Outlook Generally Improving A Heavy Fall Trade Anticipated. B.G. Dun & Co., in theirlweekly review&of ade, says: There were 6,657 commercial tilures in the first half of 1895, against 7,039 1 the first half of 1894, and 6,401 in the first alf of 1893. These commercial failures in olved liabilities of $88.839,944 this year, gainst $101,739,306 last year, and $168,864, A4 in 1893. The details show a decrease in very class of failures in the second, com ared with the first quarter of 1895. both in he number and magnitude, the defaulting abilities averaging $34, against $40 for very firm in business and $3.40 for every 1,000 solvent payments. The midsummer reports from all commer al centres are of especial interest, covering he questions on which the future business epends. They indicate distinctly better crop rospects than other official or commercial counts. a marked increase in retail distri ution of products, an active demand for oods, and a general enlargement of the rorking force, with some advance in the rages of more than half a million hands. At the same time they show that the rapid dvance in prices has s6mewhat checked the ying of a few classes of products. In very part of the countrythe outlook for fall rade is considered bright. Nothing disturbs the money market. The ,overnment begins the new fiscal year with aore than the required gold reserve, and the Lisbursement of nearly $80,000,000 by cor )orations in interest and dividends will imulate business in many branches. Bradstreet's report says: There were 197 usiness failures reported throughout the nited States this week, as compared with 15 last week, 164 in the first week of July 894; 319 in 1893 and 152 in the like week of 892.

The Serpent's Trick. The power of continuing motion ess with the lifted head projecting forward for an indefinite time is one f the most wonderful of the serpent's uscular feats, and is one of the high 1st importance to the animal, both when fascinating its victim and when nimicking some inanimate object, as, for instance, the stem and bud of an quatic plant; here it is only referred to on account of the effect it produces n the human mind, as enhancing the serpent's strangeness. In this atti tude, with the ronnd, unwinking eyes fixed on the beholder's face, the effect may be very curious and uncanny. Fortniglitly Review.
