CARLISLE ON THE. CURRENCY | Legal Tenders, He Declares, Should Be Retired. They Drive Out the Gold and Deplete the Reserve—He Suggests No Sub- stitute—Plea for Sound Money, Mr. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, spoke at length on “Our Currency System” before the New York chamber of com- merce last night. Besides the Secretary, the guests were: Senator Julius C. Bur- rows, Attorney General Harmon, Mayor Strong, Gen. Thomas H. Ruger, Rev. Dr. M. W. Stryker, Charles Emory Smith, Rear Admiral Henry Erben, Commodore Mont- gomery Sicard, James M. Constable, Carl Schurz, Horace White, Murat Halstead, St. Clair MeKelway and Charles Butler. The other tables were presided over, respective- ly, by Lowell Lincoln, Henry W. Cannon, Gen. Horace Porter, J. Edward Simmons, George Rutledge Gibson and Alfred R. Whitney. In the course of his remarks the Secre- tary said: “Two years ago I had the honor to attend your arnual banquet, and to make some remarks, in the course of which I said tha! the disposition and ability of the government to maintain its own credit at the highest standard and to preserve the integrity of all the forms of currency in circulation among the people could not be reasonably doubted and ought not to be the subject of further controversy. While scarcely any one now seriously doubts either the disposition or the ability of the executive branch of the government to ac- complish these objects, all who have given any attention to the subject must realize that in the existing state of our legislation the task is both difficult and expensive. “Since that declaration was made here interest-bearirg bonds to the amount of $162,315,400 have been issued to procure gold for the redemption of United States notes and treasury notes, and the obliga- tions of the government on account of the notes still remain as at the beginning. The notes are redeemed, but they are unpaid, end if our legislation is not changed, no matter how often they may be presented and redeemed hereafter, they will still re- main unpaid. If this policy of redemption and reissue is continued, the interest-bear- ing debt will be greatly increased, while the non-intere the least diminished.” “The disadvantages of such a s) so obvious that it is hardly ne enumerate them. The government has ua- dertaken to keep an unlimited amount of circulating notes equal to gold coin, and at the same time it has no lega) authority to compel anybedy to give it gold in ex for the notes or to pay guld on any demand due to it. The obligation is all on one side and the power is all on the oth Al- though the amount of United States notes is fixed at $46,681,000 and the amount of treasury notes outstanding is a little over $140,000,000, yet the total amount that may be presented for redemption is unlimite a because there is no restriction as to the number of times the same 10{(¢s may be re- turned to the treasury and exchanged for gold. avery student of monetary science and every practical man of business knows that the fundamental vice in our currency system is the legal tender note, redecmahle in coin by the government and reissuable under the law. “No change that can be made in our cur- rency system will afford the relief to which the government and the people are entitled unless it provides for the retirement and cancellation of the legal tender United States notes. “The circulation of legal tender United States notes and treasury notes has a ten- dency to drive out of use and out of the country the very coin in which the govern- ment Is compelled to redeem them; and {t has expelled millions of dollars from our border: Mr. Carlisle went on to say that it was never contemplated that the Tre: Department should convert itself bank of issue and furnish currency for the People. An evil growing out of the continued cir- culation of legal: tenc money, the Secre- tary said, was the widespread demoraliza- tion of public sentiment, resulting in false theories of money. He continued: “The proposition that a promise of the government to pay money is just as absurd as the proposition that a promise to deliver a horse is a horse, and yet there are emi- nent men in the public councils who believe that the United States promissory note is actual money, and that the statute which compels all the people to receive it as actual money Is constitutional and ought to be cortinued in force.” He also denounced the agitatlor silver coinage, which, he sa: vould be a forced loan from the people to the own- ers of silver mines and silver bullion, with- out a promise of repayment by anybody.” He spoke at Jenene on the need of stabil- for free iE IN TOWN, HONEY.

The Wife Claims Has Not Been Paid. In the proceedings for separate mainten- ance, filed May last, by Annie F. Wilson against James E. Wilson, late a first Heu- tenant in the United States army, Mrs. Wilson yesterday afternoon presented a pe- tition praying that Lieut. Wilson be required to pay her alimony, as heretofore ordered by the court. The petition recites that July 31 last the defendant was ordered to pay his wife $00 per month for the support of herself and chiid, The first payment was made, but since then, it is claimed, j.ieut. Wilson has failed to comply with the decree. Because of such failure, says Mrs, Wilson, she is absolutely without means, and unless some provision is speedily mais, she will be ab- solutely destitute. Her husband, she says, is at present engaged in the insurance bu: ness in New York city, and earns monthly thereby an amount greatly in excess of the jlowance due him by the government, Lieut. Wilson, continues his wife, has re- peatedly threatened, if required by the court to make the payments provided for in the decree, that he would resign from the army, and that October 7 he wrote her solicitor that no action of the War Department would deter him from carrying out his determina- tion, and that he would gladly resign from the ice and forfaip his $70, in order to cut off his wife’s allawance of $0 a month. json has applied to the War De- partment, she says, ut has been advised by the Secretary of War that he has no au- thority to order thp, paymaster to deduct from her husband's pay the sum dec Therefore the court is d to compel the payment, and that a yeceiver be appointed to receive the mens hjy salary paid by the government to Lieut. ilson, and out of the same the arrearaes due hey and ac: ing hereafter. r: TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION, of Organtzntion Signed by AN Representatives.

He may not have known it. I took a letter from Gen. Grant, four foolscap pages long, and carried it to Don Cameron at Chicago. It was a withdrawal from the presidential race. Had those men done their duty by that letter Gen, Grant would have been relieved from a cloud which cast a shadow over the rest of his lift “What men do you refer to” “Conkling, Cameron, Boutwell, Robert Lincoln. They were the chief men. There were others. These, the leading overseers for Grant, dined at the Chicago Club In the business center of Chicago. Robert Lincoln was the most obstinate that Grant should be kept in the race, whether he had declined or rot. I saw him not long ago, and he avowed ihe same sentiments and said he had no re- grets.”” “Where is that letter of Grant declining to run?" Suppressed by Conkling. “Among Rcscoe Conkling’s papers. He suppressed the letter after Don Cameron lent {t to him and kept ft. I tried in vain after Grant was defeated to recover that letter from Conkling in order to publish it and set Gen. Grant right. Conkling said he would not produce it. In fact, he did not want Grant to be set right if it would dis- parage his own evil agency in that matter of making Grant his factor to restore his machine. I asked Conkling again for the letter about the time of Grant’s demise. He would not let me have It. I suppose, there- fore, it is among his papers if not destroy- ea” Why did ycu not keep a copy of it?” Because as soon as Gen. Grant gave it to me I hastened to Chicago to make the letter effective, and presumed it would be effective, and would be issued to the public. After it was produced at that inner council in the Chicago Club there was a silence until Rob- ert Lincoln said: ‘I don’t care for that let- ter. I am still for Grant.’ Conkling then took the letter off. The coadjutors resolved to nominate Grant anyway. Boutwell made & politic plea to go on with the nomination. But Lincoln's voice and Conkling’s hand were potential to deprive Gen. Grant of the merit of that self-denial. He was not nom- inated after that by his own act. fter he Icst the nomination it was due to him that his declination should have been prociaimed, but Mr. Conkling had not the frankness to set Gen. Grant right. I did declare that such a letter existed, but in the absence of its production little or no im- pression could be made, and the public is still unaware that Grant declined the third term, and that he cannot be quoted right- eously as the one exception to a third term's refusal.” - Learn to Go Behind. To the Editor of The Evening Star: There is one very simple precaution which, If people would only practice it, would prevent many of the accidents on the streets. It is simply to wait an instant when «& vehicle is passing and cross behind it instead cf in front. I notice that almost universally people instead of waiting half a minute will insist on crossing in front cf assing vehicle or animal. bly this habit has arisen from the jousness that the footman has the right of way; but it is obviously far more safe and prudent to go behind any moving vehicle or animal, even at the expense of a moment of time. If parents would impress this upon their children and see that they practice it, it would prevent many of the accidents now so common. It should be impressed upon the children In the schools, also, by the teachers. I adopted the practic years ago, ani if others would they would find it greatly to their benefit. I am led to make these re- marks by the t stated in The Star cf the 15th that Mrs. Payne, who was knock- ed down and seriously injured by a team, was attempting to cross in front of the tez Washington is probably the worst city in the United States to drive in, for the rea- son that as there are no crossings people not only cross any and everywhere, but as the streets are unusually wide, they seek to save time by going diagonally across, thereby being much lenger in the street than they otherwise would be. I find also that a great many persons, es- pecially the colored people, walk in the street Instead of on the sidewalk, in some cases probably because the street is so much smoother than the sidewalks; but there is no excuse for that on Pennsylva- ria avenue, and yet we see it done all the time. What is said about crossing behind ep- plies with still more force in the case of the rapid-moving cars. The number of per- sens injured by the cabie line alone since it started is appalling. Yet, as every one krows, the cars do not leave the tracks to run over people or into vehicles. In nine cases out of ten these accidents are due to carelessness, occasionally of those manag- ing the cars, but far more frequently of those who are injured. Why will not peo- ple be more careful?

NOT ONE IN A MILLION. It looks simple. It seems simple. It is simple. Yet not one person in x million can solve it. They may have been taught Low to do It, but the fact remaina that they can't doit. , While at first blush this may seem of little or no cobsequence to elther man or woman, the reader will presently see that this puzzle illustrates a principle that bears directly upon the Ife and happiness of every woman, and terms a controlling factor in every profession. . Can You Do Itt The purzle must be solved with a plece of paper, @ pencil, the human eye, the human band, and nothing else. It fs simply to make by one opera- tion, and without lifting the pencil from the paper, Here is a puzzle. Figure 1. circles ke that shown in Fizure 1. able to make ons such circle by aceldent. You may be but if you think you can nty in a day, Ina Week, or even ina month, Just try {t amd get your friends to try it. The cirdes must not be like Figure 2, but like Figure 1. You will soon find that this Is not merely a case of “know how, everybody knows how. It is a cise of “know how”? combined with “never fail." Not one of five hun- dred young men and women college graduates can do it. Not even the one who carried of the high- est honors. The one who can do it is One Among Millions. He began just the same as cveryholy else did, by learning how to draw, But that's not the secret of his success; he made a specialty of drawing cireles; he has been drawing them all his life, and Practice makes perfect. Give any woman a how and arrow, give a man a loaded revolver, and she or he may scmetimes hit the target ani possibly the center, but how m y hundred times will they miss the mark? This frequent failure, not onl target practice, but in eversthing else, is due to the fact that ‘not one persoa fn a thousand makes a life specialty of one thinz—the one thing he can do best—and keeps right on maxing a specialty of it until be becomes perfect. A Paris Dressmaker. There is a woman dressmaker in Paris who for thirty years bas bean noted the world over. Not once in a hundred times does she fail to give a perfect Bt, yet this sazne woman made a shirt for her husband, and—made a fatlw wasn't a case of not knowing how, for she had learned bow to make clothes just us ske had lear ed how to draw; yet, try as she would, she couldn even make a night shirt for her husband that would fit, any more than che could draw a circle that was perfect. A Great Lawyer. Danfel Webster, who was probably the greatest constitutional lawyer that ever Ived, was ance completely floored in a patent case by a lawyer Who made a specialty of such cases, The “know how" is the proper point to start from, but it is the practice—the daily, hourty, constant practice— cbat makes perfect. The woman who has one night shirt to make tm thicty years cannot be an expert In night shirts, any more than the lawyer who has one patent case in six months can be an expert in patent cases. The doctor who fs calied upon once a week, ence a month, or, perhaps, once in six months, fo treat this, that, or the other complicated disorder may succeed once in a great while, if nature comes to the rescue, but he will usually fail, notwithstaniivz the fact that he has studied medicine, just as the lawyer lias studied law and the woman had studied dressmaking. The sum and substanse of it all is that PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. Experience Needed. It 4s upon this theory, this principle, this prac- tice, that the greatest and st succoasful health frstitution in America is founded. For nearly thirty years, experienced and skilled physiclans connected with this institution Lave made a cialty of curing the ailments and dis to women. Where the ordinary pract ‘one such case, the skilled specialists of this insti- tution treat tens of thousands; and what fs re- garded by the local doctor as a complicated case, cne that purzies bis brain and Lufftes bls skill, Is as simple of treatment and sure of being cured in this institution as ‘s the drawing of the perfect circle to that cne man in a millim, ‘This is an- ce makes perfect. It is a case where ONE man can do what millions of others cannot do, althousi they Lave learned how. One reason Why woman sutfrs in sileuce, agonies which would make a coward of the strongest man, is because he> inborn modesty causes her to shrink from the ordeal of submitting io meiical examina- tion and the stereotyped ‘local treatment.” When, finally, torture drives ter to seek advice, she, un- fortunately, only 100 often falls into hands that lack the rare ability of drawing that “perfect clr- cle" upon whicl her peace of mind, her happiness and her life depend. Instead of the treatment that makes thcusands of cures a certainty and failure almost an unheard-of accident, she receives that which makes failure a certainty and the cure a mere accident. A Vast Experience. After having treated, year after year, many thousands of cases of woman's ailments, Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Tnvall Hospital and Surgical Institate of Buffalo, N.Y Mained not only the perfect methods, but also the perfect medicines with which to cure such cases. So absolutely reliable are Dr. Pie vorite Prescription (for woman's peculiar physical *‘weak- ness”) and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery (the great liver, blood and hidne mety) that on first introducing these now world-famed medicines to the afflicted, and for y years the they were sold under a positive guarantee of giving ertire satisfaction in every case for which they recommended, So uniformly successful did prove in curing the discases, weaknesses for which they are recommended, claims for the return of mouey pald for th xceedingly raré. But since thel- manufacturers can now refer to thousands of noted cures effected by them In cvery part of the land, and-in many fo countries, they believe their past record a sufficlent guarantee of their great value as curative agents; therefore, OW rest the claims of these remedies to the ‘e of the afflicted sol@ly upon that record. If it happens that au exceedingly obstinat» or com- plicated case Is not promptly conquered by these standard remedies, Dr. Pierce himself, and his trained, staff of professional assistants, can al- ways be reached by letter, and be and his stat know, from thelr extensive practice, which has made them experts, Just what missing link to sup- ply. they derangements and that were The Highest Honors, Such 1s the confilence of dis fellow citizens In his ability, integrity and worth, that Dr. Pierce has been honored by election to the highest offices In the gift of the people of Buffalo; first, to the state senate, and Inter to Congress. Such, however, Is the doctor's pride In an@ love for lis profession that he has since cepzatedly declined high effice in order that he may best serve the public by serving is patients, who are scattered over every state and territory in the land, as is shown uy the fact that he bas on file over 90,000 Grateful Letters, like the following: Mrs. ANNIE HUTCHINSON of Cambridge, Dor- chester Co., Md., writes: “Words fail to d. my sufferings before I took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and his ‘Favorite Pres-ription.’ I could not walk across the room withont great suffering, but now I am able to do my own work.
