Significance of the Vote Taken in the House of Commons. Robert L. Everett, liberal, representing the Woodbridge division of Suffolk, moved in the British house of commons yesterday the bimetallic resolution, which was ap- proved on Friday last by the parliamentary committee of the Bimetallic League, and it was adopted without division. The resolution, in substance, was that “this house regards with increasing ap- prehension the constant fluctuations and growing divergence in the relative value of gold and silver and heartily concurs in the recent expression of opinion upon the part of the government of France and the government and parliament of Ger- many in regard to the serious evils result- ing therefrom. It, therefore, urges upon the government the desirability of co-oper- ating with other nations in an international conference to consider what measures can be taken to mitigate these evils.” Mr. Henry Chaplain, conservative, who seconded the resolution, pointed to the sit- uation of India as proving the necessity of an international understanding on the subject. He also urged the government to reopen the Indian mints, provided the other powers reopened theirs, and to give every facility for promoting the increased use of silver in England, short of chang- ing her own standard. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, replying for the government, admitted that the question was a grave one, but he denied that the distress in husbandry was due to the demonetization of silver, adding that husbandry was never in a more ruinous state than during the period when the duality of silver and gold existed, and he asserted that he was as convinced of the value of monometallism as Mr. Chaplain was of the value of bimetallism. Sir William concluded by remarking that as Mr. Everett's motion did not commit the government to an agreement in re- gard to bimetallism, and as the govern- ment did not deny the existence of the evils referred to, and as the resolution only invited the government to join in any communications on the subject, whether in the form of a conference or otherwise, with the great states of Europe, he would not oppose the motion. He announced that he declined to place the currency of Eng- land under the control of an international committee, adding: “If France and Ger- many, or any other powers, wish to com- bine on the question, they can do so. But it 1s not for Great Britain to follow their example.” Ballard Smith sends the following spe- cial from London regarding the vote: The acceptance by the government of the bi- metallist resolution in the house of com- mons does not indicate any change of min- {sterial opinion on the currency problem. The bimetallists, in order to catch votes, had watered down their motion so that it involves no declaration of principles and Merely commits {ts supporters to approval of sending British representatives to any future international currency conference. Any representative sent by the present government to a currency conference will be a monometallist, and though Balfour is a bimetallist no tory government would attempt to alter the currency policy of England, as all the other tory financial au- thorities are against bimetallism. ° ———_+ e+ —___. THE NEW BONDS. They Are Now Being Finished and Will Soon Be Ready for Delivery. The finishing touches are how being added to the new bonds at the bureau of engraving and printing, and their delivery will begin at once. So far the syndicate has not indicated when or where it desires the bonds to be delivered, and they will therefore remain at the Treasury Depart- ment unfil that information is received. Whenever the members of the syndicate indicate their readiness to receive the bonds they will be forwarded. The first batch of bonds will probably be sent to New York this week. The European bonds will be forwarded direct to London at the expense of the syndicate, who will supervise their distribution. Gold coin has been received by the gov- ernment on account of the recent bond is- sue as follows: New York, $21,721,828; Bal- timore, $104, 4! ; Philadelphia, $104,494; Bos- ton, $626,967; ‘Chicago, $50,755; San Fran- cisco, $1,450,000; depository. banks, $12,849,- Total, $36,008, 121. This makes’ the gold balance $76,177,313. ° No Decision in Gov. Hughes’ Case. The report from Tucson, Ariz., that it had been decided here to remove Gov. Hughes of Arizona is incorrect.

Snedden, of the General Grand Chapter, to the officers of the Order of the Eastern Star. The parlors were handsomely decorated with palms, and the guests were seated at an artistically arranged table, the centerpiece being composed of American beauty roses, each guest receiving as a favor a bouquet ot roses.

R. R. West, and after the singing of another hymn remarks were made by William Quinn and G. B. Johnston, the former of whom admonished the brethren of their duty to the widow and orphans, and the latter gave a reminiscence where Mr. Et- tinger under wearisome circumstances de- clared that he was glad that he had been able to do something for his fellow man. Rev. Mr. West took for his subject the words, “Is Life Worth Living?” and made a most eloquent and sympathetic address.

In no nation at any time have the de- mands on the nervous forces been as great as in these United States. The develop- ment of this country is unexampled, be- cause natural forces, of which our fore- fathers knew little or nothing, have been brought into mankind's service in-this age. It follows naturally on the increased amount of work possible to human beings during the last century that men and wo- men should have been forced to make in- creased drafts on their nervous force. The more work one does, the more cone must think, especially when the work is not that of one’s own hands. With nervous excite- ment in the parents, there is the tendency to nervousness in the children. Hence they are showing nervous diseases as there is no record of children having shown them before. As these children, when they grow up, will enter a life of nervous strain, and &S we can prepare them for this strain only by giving them the strongest possible bodies, it is well that we should watch carefully any nervous strain on them now. Though there may be a question as to whether school hours are too long, there is none in my mind as to the amount the children are required to learn. The pro- cess of adding to the list of studies has gone steadily on, until now the’ children are forced to absorb an astonishing amount of solid information. - In children, far more than in grown peo- ple, any disorder will show itself in the stomach, and in the lack of desire for food. ‘his danger signal of capriciousness or failure of appetite is the most common and valuable given by children. Thére are other nervous strains on the children beside those of the school, and they play an important part in the lives of the little ones. Among these are tate hours, for children need all the sleep they can get; parties, the theater and books. These draw on the nervous force, because they stimulate: the mind, already stimulat- ed too much. One of the most important Strains is that sympathetic excitement which comes to them from the excitement in the lives of the grown people around them. I have seen a child in a very fever of nervousness, after listening to the dis- cussion of a murder. This form of excite- ment we can only lessen for the children by exercising care when we talk before them. The sum and substance of my plea is that the bodies of children should be developed. We can, if we so elect, have them strong enough to bear the burden of coming years, or we can so stimulate their nervous systems as to unfit them utterly for the work beforehand. Ses Have Disapproved. In a recent commuhicgtion to the Com- missioners, Robert Reyjurn, M.D., presi- dent of the District Suffrage Petition As- scclation, requested a) public hearing upon the House bill authorizing a special elec- tion to be held by thé citizens of the Dis- trict to determine whether the present municipal government shall continue, or whether there shell ‘be established in its place a representative: form of govern- ment. In reply, the Commisdioners state that because of the approaching end of the ses- sion of Congress and:of'the fuct that they have been unable to 'find time for a hear- ing, they deem it best. to forward to him a copy of their repprt stoxthe‘committee of the District of Columbia at once, in order that the promoters of -the measure may present their views: to: that committee. The Commissioners have disapproved the i. ee In Mr. Horton’s Memory. Senator Allison yesterday received the fo]- lowing cablegram, dated at London: “The British Bimetallic League expresses the deepest regret and sympathy with the family and the American nation on the death of S. Dana Horton, whose incessant labors have done so much for international monetary reform, Pray send a wreath in our behalf in affectionate remembrance.” Owing to the fact that the cablegram was received after Mr. Horton’s funeral had taken place, Mr. Allison was unable to comply with the request to send a wreath in behalf of the league. —__-e-_____. Verdict for the Road. Upon the motion of counsel for the de- fendant, Judge Bradley directed a verdict in their favor yesterday in the case of Martha S, Edgerton, administratrix of the late James Edgerton, against the Balti- more and Ohio railroad. The deceased was killed at University station October 10, 1892, by an inbound train, while he was on the platform awaiting another. Claiming that the railroad was to blame, damages in the sum of 310,000 were asked. A verdict in favor of the road was directed by Judge Bradley on the ground of contributory negligence. —————r Alleged Breach of Contract. The case of Wm. C. Downey and Fredk. S. Smith against R. K. Helphenstine was taken up in Circuit Court No. 1 yesterday afternoon before Judge Bradley. About five years ago, say the plaintiffs, Mr. Helphen- stine, then the proprietor of a drug store in the Portland Flats, sold out to the plaintiffs, agreeing not to engage in the business, directly or indirectly, within ten squares thereof for five years. For two years, the plaintiffs allege, all went well, but Mr. Helphenstine’s minor son and a: other then opened a drug store within two squares, the store really being conducted and supported, say the plaintiffs, by the defendant. Because of such alleged breach of contract the plaintiffs claim $10,000 dam- ages. ———————— Zine Production. An official statement of the United States geological survey shows that during the calendar year, 1894 the total product of zine (spelter) was 75,328 short tons, a de- crease of 3,504 tons from the previous year, due to industrial depression. Kansas shows an increase of 2,773 tons, while all other states show decreases. rn Sunday School Officers. Officers of the Sunday schcol of Grace M. E.
