IFive Children Burned to Death.

burned to death Wednesday night. Nath

of a dead sifter of E11U' and three of the
other sister's children locked up in the
building. The house was discovered to
be on fire about C o'clock and the flames
had gained such headway that it was im
Hjv4ible to rescue the children, although

Tebre Hacte, Ind. Nancy nanks,
that won the title of queen of the trotting
turf at Chicago, going a mile 2:01J, is a
bay mare, six yesrs old, 15$ hands high.
. She was sired by Hapy Medium out of a
Dictator mare.
Abe Lincoln, the running horse who
helped Nancy along to glory, is a bay
horse with something of a history. He
was formerly the property of Adam Fore
paugh. Jr., who used him for snany years
about the circus, his good points being
his perfect gentleness and a fondness for
the society of elephants, of which horses
in general stand in mortal terror. Be
cause of his level head, obedience and
thorough reliability he was taken by Budd
Doble, her traiuer, as a peacemaker for
Nancy Hanks in her trials against time.
Nancy Hanks is owned by J. Malcolm
Forbes, of Boston, who purchased her
last year for foo.OOO. He is a man of
great wealth and for that reason it is
doubtful if Mr. Robert Bonner,the own
er of Maud S. and Suool, will be able to
accomplish his well-known purpose of
purchasing every trotter which beats his
own.

3AUQHT THE DETECTIVE'S EYE.
lit Saw a Peculiar Chest and Found
In It a Counterfeiting Outfit.
Walhalla. 8. C. Secret Service
Agent Fqrsyth noticed a suspicious-looking
chest at Anderson, S. C.,several days
ago. The chest weighed 190 pounds,
and was addressed to O. T. Baughman,
Waihalla, S. C, consigned by J. H. S.
of McCormiclc The secret service agent
opened the box, and. after removing car
penter and blacksmith tools, found in the
bottom of the chest a walnut cabinet. In
this were found six sets of moulds over
one hundred coins, finished and unfinish
ed, and a stick of half and half,'1 a
metal used by counterfeiters. There
were two moulds for standard uollars,
one for Mexican dollars, .two for quarters
and one for five cent nickels. Baugh
man is highly connected. His wife is the
only daughter of a highly respected citi
zen, and his brother-in-law is a Govern
ment official.
Detective Forsyth took with him Dep
uty United States Marshal V. E. Bailey,
and came Here. Not receiving his trunk,
Baugbman became suspicious and ran
away. Forsyth secured information of
his whereabouts. Baughman was arrest
ed. He declared that while the chest
was his he knew nothing about the wal
nut box. He finally weakened and made
a full confession

A look of wonder passed over his face,
and all he could say was: "By luckers,

dicker, which resulted in a brand new

IS HOKY A riiOOUCT OT NATCREI
The argument that government can't
make (that is, ere ste,) money, since the
veriest simpleton in the land knows that
the individual who attempU I to do so
will be railroaded to the penitentiary for
counterfeiting, carries with it the impli
cation that money is a product of nature.
Outside of man, in his individual or col
lective capacity, the only generative
force capable of transmuting the material
thiugs of earth into factors necessary
for the continued advancement of civili
zation is nature. Then, taking the po
sition that money is not created by law,
compels the belief that nature, instead
of always being the same staid, solemn,
eternal, unchangeable force that men
hare always believed her to be, ia, io
the matter of money, at least, one of the
most fickle and flighty creatures imagin
able; for she not only creates a different
kind of money for every different gov
ernment in the world, but she create
many different kinds ot money of differ
ent denominations for each government.
Thus gold, silver, copper, nickel, brass,
mner etc . are each employed by her in
th manufacture of money. In this
catintrv she fives us dollars, dimes and
cents; "in England the denominations arc
changed into pounds, shillings and
Tvnce: in Germany into kruetzers, guid-
ers, pfennings, etc. Such assumptions
. a JSa a . A .
as these are calculated to maitc uawirc
an near ridiculous. The truth is. nature
has no more to do with the creation f
mnnev than she has to do with the cre
ation of a cotton gin or grain-binder or
any one of the thousands of things into
whirh mn have changed the material
provided for her, into things for their
nam rominrt ana Advancement. : duo
provides the matter from which every
thing is made.
But the fact that the governments
for a lonf? time assumed that the
preper material from which to make
money is gold or saver, no more con
stitutes those metals 'natural money"
than docj the fact that Cain slew Abel
with, club constitute the manner of
Abel's death the 'natural" way to die.
TTnon the theorv that "ase and custom'
justify the use of silver and gold as
i - . : c . 1 . 1. :
money, can ue jusuueu .uu cAuitm,u v
crime, human slavery, corruption and
skull-duggery of every kind, because
these things are, all of them, older even
thsn the use of money of any kind. And
yet, one of the strongest arguments, or,
at least, one of the strongest points al
ways lingeringly and lovingly dwelt
upon by ourwise men"io their advocacy
of these metak as the only proper money
material, is tne iact mat tneir use nas
been sanctioned by custom and made
venerable by age. To a mind capable
of consecutive, analytical', thinking it
would seem that the very fact the barelegged-barbarians
of thousauds of years
ago used those metals for money mate
rials is of itself .sufficient to cast a deep,
dense shade of suspicion over their real
utility for that purpose. The incontro
vortihln truth is that money, lawful
money, the tender of which cannot be
refused without prejudice to one's
claim, is a creature of man in his aggre
gate or governmental cspcity, and the
only milk in the financial cocoanut is in
ToWed in the question an to how the
wealth-producers of the nation will

crmectal fuictirn.
