COSBY, The Reliable Jeweler, 27 Patton Ave. Tha Colorado Senator Will Now Re turn to the Advooaey of Silver, Having Enough of the Gold Men. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22, The publi cation in the World of Senator Wol cott's threat to resign from the United States Senate has c'reated a sensation here., While many believe that his indigna tion may sufficiently cool to prevent his resigning, all agree that his return to the advocacy of free and unlimited silver coinage is certain. Either President McKinley and Sec retary Gage are at variance, or Senator Wolcott and his sympathizers were ut terly deceived as to the President's at titude in respect to bimetalHsnBand the monetary commission of which Wol cott was chairman. Wolcott has, since his return from Europe, talked long and earnestly with the President, and he defends the President, while taking a position of open antagonism to Sec retary Gage. The assertion Is made by Wolcott's ympathizers that Secretary Gage rep resents the administration, and, were it not for the political disturbance, the affair would cause Mr. Gage to retire from the- cabinet. Statesman, Soldier and Lever of Hia State and People; an Orator and a Lovable Man Bread In Every Wey. f - fRight Worshipful Sir, Brethren and f Fellow Citizens: "The world has ever been apprecia tive of greatness. When a man has risen among his fellow men and by his eminent qualities has claimed their admiration, their esteem and their love, they have been willing to accord to him recognition. We are seeking, in fact, to find greatness in our fellow men, and though we are sometimes de ceived because we take men at their own estimates, yet the fierce light of public criticism, to which every promi nent man is exposed, in the end win nows the wheat from the chaff and af fixes to a name the epithet of great or little. " 'Count no man happy until he is dead,' said the old-world cynic. With greater truth let us say, Put no man s name upon the record of a country s heroes until a generation has passed... Grsatness is not something that we can wrap about ourselves as we do a gar ment; not something that can be con veved or communicated as we confer a gift or give an education. No, great ness is an essential, and basal quality of the man, and a man is treated as ee ...Big Reduction in Guns AT ASHEVILLE HARDWARE COMPANY.

The line of march was over Church, Willow and South Main streets to the monument. The exercises at the monument were begun by Grand Master Walter E. Moore, who briefly referred to the fact that the ceremonies were carried out by the fraternity at the request of the Monument association. The Grand Master also announced that because of the chilly weather It was thought in advisable to have the children of the city schools present in a body, so that the singing by the children was to be omitted. The Masonic ode was read by Fred Moore, esq., and prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Swope, as Grand Chaplain IN THE CORNER STONE. , The box containing the articles to be placed in the cornerstone was then put in position by W. C. Sprinkle as Grand Treasurer, and the mortar was laid about the box by Chas. Smith. The copper box placed In the corner stone contained the following articles: Holy Bible, program of the day, mon ument history, list of City officers, Year Book of the City of Asheville, Charter of the City of Asheville, Code of the City of Asheville, roll of honor for November in the Asheville City schools, new silver coins of the United States, copy of The Asheville Daily Cit izen of December 21, copy of The Ashe ville Daily Gazette of December 2: copy of The Asheville Register of De cember 17, copy of The Asheville News and Hotel Reporter, copy of The.

The joint con vention of coal operatives and miners of the Pittsburg district, which ret here esterday to fix rates for mining for the ensuing year, decided to postpone the matter of a rate for this district, pend ng the outcome of a movement for an nterstate convention at Columbus, O. at which a uniform rate for Pennsyl vania, Indiana and Illinois would be fixed. The convention was one of the largest ever held in this city, over 100 miners and 28 operators nemg present, besides the miners' national officers and many miners from " surrounding districts. Hon. B. M. Anderson of Finleyville, an operator, presided. Miners' Nation al President Ratchford stated mat tne action taken at Monday's convention, declaring for a 49 rate for run of mine coal should not have been taken. He advocated the revival of the old inter state agreement, which provided for a seneral price for all the districts, and said he had assurance from miners and operators of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois that they would join in, the movement. A motion to revive tne inter-state agreement was then made Dy operator F. L. Robbins, and seconaea Dy coi. W. P. Rend. Discussion generally ra- vo.-ing the old agreement followed, and when nut to a vote was unanimously carried. A committee composed ot operators, F. L. Robbins, F. M. Osborne and Alex ander Dempster; and M. D. Ratchford, W. C. Pearce and Edward McKay oi the Miners' association was appointed to arrange a date for the Inter-state convention some time in January. REV. R. R. SWOPE, D. D., ORATOR OF THE DAT. CRIMINAL COURT. Progress of the Lindsey Case- State ment of Defendant. The embezzlement case in which J. G. Lindsey Is defendant continues in Circuit court. It is alleged that the de fendant, during 1892, came into posses sion of $1000 belonging to the then ex isting order ol tne sons onemperam-c. The amount was realized from the sale of the order's hall. Several months ago the defendant was arrested in cocse county, Tenn., charged with embezzle ment, but there being some trouble re garding rendition papers, he was not hmnght to this city. Later, however. he returned of his own accord. As the result of a faulty bill of indictment there was no trial. Exceptions were also taken to the last bill of indictment, but Judge Ewart has overruled tne oo The defense this morning began the development of their case, wun mr, T.tdsev as witness. The defendant ex plained that he naa expenaea mo oi the $1000 In prying the legitimate ex nenses of ti.e order, and that he had tent ii 75 which the order was due him Ho saii. he had invested the remainder in erecting the brick building on Val- lev street which is known as tne Aiar tin building. This investment, he says, he made upon the advice of tfco iito cant. M. E. Carter, who was his attorney. The t attorney, said Lindsey, believed that he could great, not because he would be so es teemed, but because the qualities of his soul, unknown and unconsciously to him, diffuse themselves upon all with whom he comes in contact. .-- "Greatness, then, is the thorough consecration of oneself, one's gifts, one's powers to the Interests of one's fellow men. With this definition In my mind I turn to the man of whom this shaft, whose cornerstone we lay today is commemorative, and I ask myself, Was he worthy of this distinction? Did he hold the place, which was un questionably his in the hearts of the people of the Old North State, because of the glamour which his personality cast over them, or did he hold It De cause his fellow countrymen knew him to be manlx. brave, pure and true, be cause they knew that his ability, his thought, his time, his life, wereib con secrated in unselfish devotion to their service?'

The Chinese gov ernment has granted Russia, it is now definitely known, permission to winter a squadron at Port Arthur. Great Britain demands a quid pro quo, if con cessions have been made to other pow era. It has been suggested that the Ja panese and British occupy Wei Kai Wei Jointly. The situation at Kiaou Chou Bay is unchanged. Germany remains unyield ing, and Chinese counsels are divided as to whether it should be peace or war with Germany. China regards Russia as her only friend, and asks her advice alone. British influence is nil, having suffered greatly through the failure of the loan negotiations. China is now ne gotiating a loan with Russia. The lat ter demands the dismissal of British railroad engineers in north China, and it is probable it will be granted. The German drill instructors will be dis missed at the expiration of their con tracts, and replaced by Russians. Rus sian officers have already been appoint ed to drill the armies of north China.

Two Nurses Were Provided to Watch Ex-Secertary Herbert's Daughter, But She Cut Her Wrists and Then Jumped From a Window. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. Late yes terday afternoon the following author ized statement was made by a gentle man friend of the family familiar with all the facts of the suicide of Miss Hes-bert. At the time of the occurrence she was suffering from acute melancholia . It developed several weeks ago as the re sult of the injuries Teceived 'by being thrown from her horse last spring. No suicidal tendancy developed, however, until Monday, when for the first time, Miss Herbert made an attempt to get out of the window. She was restrained by the nurse. This led to additional caution, and two nurses alternated in constant watchfulness of the patient. She was at all times rational, quiet and gentle, and it was supposed the disease would yield to treatment. Early yesterday morning the nurse on duty noticed a small spot of blood on the bed covering. She inquired what it meant, but the invalid endeav ored to pass it by lightly. On making an investigation, however, the nurse found that the under bed clothes were saturated with blood, and that Miss Herbert had severed an artery in her wrist with a pair of scissors. Feeling that the emergency was great, the nurse hastened to the door and called an alarm. During this momentary withdrawal from the bedside Miss Her bert leaped out and sprang from the window. The plunge was made head foremost, so that she alighted on top oi her head on the asphalt pavement, dy ing in a tew minutes. Conspiracy to' Kill a Man for an In surance of $10,000. NORRISTOWN.

As the orator drew towards the close, a Senator rose ana asKea per mission to ask a question. The ques tion took the form of a witticism so apt that its answer showed the inher ent fallacy in all that had been advo cated, and punctured the argument as with the keen point of a stiletto. It was done so ably, so genially, so thor oughly, that I said, 'here is one of our political giants," and, turning to a man hpside me. asked , 'Who was that?"
