Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov't Report
Powder
AB&OLUYESuY SPURE
Bay Shore, L. I., Oct. 24. —The new
men of Hay Shore made their first ap-
pearance last night. The husbands of
a dozen of the most prominent women
in this town arrayed themselves in
female toggery and prepared an oyster
supper for their wives. The whole
thing* took place in the Congregational
church and it was given for the church s
benefit. A stage had been erected
■upon which the cooks and wait-
resses went through their antics.
The men wore all sorts of
waists with enormous balloon sleeves
and skirts that were sadly in the way
of their legs. One man while carrying
a heap of dishes slipped and fell, kick-
ing up a surprising heap of lingerie.
The new men were not a u peat success.
One of them had an idea that a pint of
mayonaisse needed a quart of tabasco
sauce. The affair was a success, how-
ever, and the audience enjoyed it im-
mensely.
The Record on Hables Broken.
BiKMixiiiiAM, Ala., Oct. 24.—The
town of Fort Deposit, Lowndes conn-
has broken the record on babies,
three mothers having given birth to
ten children within a week. Just a
week ago Mrs. Lattimer, wife of a
leading merchant, became the mother
of two boys and a girl. The next day
her neighbor, Mrs. Hunter, whose hus-
band is a prominent farmer, followed
suit with three babies. Mrs. Cham-
pion yesterday proved herself the
champion in fact as well as in name
by capping the climax with four chil-
dren at a birth. All the babies are
well formed and healthy and the
mothers are doing well.
Oklahomans Divided as to Statehood.
Washington, Oct. M.— Gen. Ilenry
Thomas, a retired United States army
officer living in Oklahoma, declares
to interior department officials that
one of the dangers overshadow-
ing the new territory is the
persistent agitation of many citizens,
with political aspirations, of the
scheme to secure statehood at the
arliest possible date. The more con-
servative people are, ho ays, in favor
of waiting until the remaining portion
of the Indian territory can be ab-
sorbed by Oklahoma, and then ask for
admission as ;i state.
The Republic* i National Committee.
Nkw York, Oct. m.—The Herald
says: Chairman Thomas Ilenry Carter
will in a day or two issue his call for
a meeting of the republican national
committee in the first week in Decem-
ber. The national convention will
meet within ten days after Mpy 23,
18t)<). Senator Carter, J. S. Clarkson
mid William llahn met last night at
the Holland house and consulted about
wording the call, a rouuh draft of
which Senator Carter had drawn up.
The call will be formal and will not
attempt to outline a party policy.

Washington, Oct. 24.—Comptroller
Eckels has returned from Europe con-
vinced in the same degree and in the
same manner as was Congressman
Tarsney, of Kansas City, of the de-
cadence of the belief in international
bimetallism and of the impossibility of
any single nation maintaining the free
coinage of silver. He says: "The
single thing that seems to operate
against a wholesale demand for Amer-
ican securities abroad is the question
as to the soundness of our currency
system and the actual extent of the
free silver movement. Foreign deal-
ers have no elements of sentimentalism
in the view they take of what we are
thinking and talking of on the money
question. With them it is all hard
facts. They do not hesitate to express
their belief of the richness of our re
sources, but they continually couple
with the statement relative thereto
the fear they have of our enacting
some bad monetary legislation, thus
destroying values. It cannot be dc
nied that this fear is still retard-
ing permanent investment of for
eign capital here and will con-
tinue to just as long as there is the
least serious appearance of any free
coinage of silver law. Bimetallism is
discussed more in England as a theo-
retical problem than as a practical one,
and the interest in it, even from such a
standpoint, is certainly on the wane.
The strongest evidences on this point
are the recent letters and statements
of Mr. Balfour, who wishes to put the
question aside. So far as there
being any party in parliament suffi-
ciently strong in numbers to be called
bimetallic party, there is none.
Among the English and continental
advocates who go to the utmost length
of bimetallism there is not one who
suggests or believes in the possibility
of any single country being able to in-
dependently maintain free coinage of
silver without bringing about general
bankruptcy."
No More Recolnage Now.
Washington, Oct. 24.—The appropri-
ation for the loss on the re^oinage of
worn and uncurrent silver coin for the
current fiscal year is exhausted, and
further transfer of such coin can
be made from the treasury to the
mints for recoinage, as it is the in-
tention of the secretary of the treas-
ury not to resume, for the present at
least, the coinage of silver bullion pur-
chased under the "Sherman act, and
the stock of gold bullion on hand at
the mint at New Orleans is very limit-
ed, the secretary lias decided to dis-
continue all coiuage operations at that
mint for the present.
The treasury now holds of silver bul-
lion purchased under the Sherman
act 137,044,000 tine ounces, the cost of
which was $124,080.:; J3, and the coinage
value of which was $177,904,000. If
this bullion were coined into silver
dollars the profit to the govern-
ment on its coinage would
be nearly $.*>1,000,00), which
Bum could be paid out for
the ordinary expenses of the govern-
ment or silver certificates would be is-
sued against it. It is now thought that
the coinage of silver dollars will not
be resumed at the mint until there is
some action by congress on the cur-
rency question. The mints at Phila-
delphia and San Francisco will con-
tinue to be employed in the coinage of
gold.

MExico, Oct". 2i. A local freight
train west bound, was standing on the
Wabash track at Martinsburg last
night about 7 o'clock, when a through
freight running at the rate of about
35 miles per hour, dashed into
the rear end, destroying the ca-
boose and four freight cars, and killing
Edwin Thompson, of Centralia, and
Daniel Ivehoe, of Moberly. 1 he depot
platform was reduced to kindling wood
and the depot was moved off its found-
ation about 1}j> feet. The fast freight
engine was badly wrecked. O. T. Har-
ris, a traveling man of Fulton, was
