In the discussion of the various propositions the attitude of nearly all the governments disclo-ed the general rec gnition in the conference that the monetary evil reqnired a remedy. After citing copiouly from the speeches ma le the delegates sav the coherence is to re convene May 30, 1N03. In the meantime it is exnected that the propositions ana plans already submitted to the President ol the convention ana Dy mm transmu ted to the several tovernments through their delegates will be considered. It is anticipated that the delegates upon the reassembling of the conference will be able to state definitely the views of their resnective governments as to what plans r.re practicable to secure a greater u e of silver as a part of the metallic money of the world. In concluding the report the delegates say it is the earnest wish of the conference that a plan for the enlarged use of silver money, acceptable to the nations and adequate to the monetary i i J -1 : 1 situation, may reaun irom no ueuueru tions. No recommendations or sugges tions of any kind are made. IEY0ND THE ROCKIES Considerable Incitement in Ohio Over a New Big Gushtr. A CRUSADE AGAINST KISSING.

A Vang ol lUmllcr Wiped Out to Avenga Hungs l;ldi r' Murder. E. F. Beck with, of Ula.Colo., lias sought entertainment at the (ireat Northern. A he stalked through the lobby to the desk the attention of every man In the place was centered upon him. There was that rolling something about his gait that at once proclaims the sailor or the man who bos spent bin lift) In the saddle. Mr. lleck with, who la a superbly proportioned man of 6 feet 'i inches, wore a natty gray frock Suit, dun colored sombrero and a pair of patent leather shoes with high heels heels such as cowboys wear. It might be inci dentally stated that Ed Iieckwith, as lie la known throughout the west, la a partner In the firm of Iieckwith Bros., cattlemen, and among the wealthiest in that line in the world. About three miles from Ula is his ranch house, a bungalow painted white, with six teen foot veranda on all sides. The bun galow is fitted us no other Louse In exist ence, the only thing American being a range and a bathroom. For the last dec ade Mr. Iieckwith has employed his win ters traveling in fa roll lands and picking op curios and articles of vertu. These have been shipped home, and as a result bis house looks more like a museum than anything else. Although a bachelor, Mr. Iieckwith isa sybarite, and the incongruity of an Egyptian mummy leering under an electric light rather amuses him. Be it known that no woman save his sister-in-law has ever set foot in the charming place he calls the ranch." Several years ago there was a gang of rustlers known as the McCoy gang in cen tral Colorado that robbed the cattlemen riht and left. So bold did they become that tenderloin steuks were sold in Coropai for a cent a pound. It was through the ef forts of Iieckwith that the gang was prac tically annihilated, and that Dick McCoy, one of the worst desperadoes ever unhung, is now ''doing life" at Canyon City. But for Beckwith s story. "It was in October of 1888," began he, "that I found Fred Arnold dead on Texas creek. Arnold was one of our riders, you know. There was a big hole in his breast, and his legs were riddled with Winchester bullets. Both of his guns were in his belt. I knew that Arnold was a quick man with a gun and that be must have been n- il.uahed. As a matter of fact he rode j western range because we knew him to be a fighter and able to take care of himself in any trouble he might have with the McCoy gang. "A quick search showed tracks of a couple of men and horses behind the wil lows on the other side of the creek. The trail of one of the men revealed that he bad dragged his left leg a trifle. That meant Dick McCoy sure. After following the trail of the horses for five miles, and seeing that it pointed to the McCoy ranch, I turned back and picked poor Arnold up and took him to the ranch. The verdict of the coroner's jury was, 'Murdered by per sons unknown.' It's the regulation form, but it didn't suit us. So we called a meet ing of the cattlemen and talked it over. It didn't take long to come to the conclusion that if we wanted to protect our interests and save the lives of our riders and our selves the McCoy gang hod to be wiped out. "In the early morning two days later sixteen men rode through the gulch that ended at McCoy's place. There wasn't any shelter, and we had to ride for it. In the corral were seven men killing rustled . cattle. On the fence were half a dozen hides with the brands cut out. The sight made us crazy, mid with a yell we dashed forward. The rustlers 'cut loose' first and two of our men dropped out of their sad dies. One was killed, the other shot through the .-boulder. We got six of the seven. The seventh was old Dick McCoy, whom I winged as he was trying to hide behind a cow. The rustlers in the ranch skipped out when they saw how it was go ing. Peg Leg Smith and a couple of others who got away are now doing time at Can yon City for robbing a Denver and Rio Grande express train. "We didn't kill McCoy and put him out of his misery, but thought he'd suffer mom If he was patched up and sentenced for life for half a dozen murders. He's enjoying himself in a tennis suit in the 'pen' in Can yon City now." Chicago Inter Ocean. Fur Lean 'Women. "The papers teem with advice to stout women on how to rid themselves of super fluous flesh," said a woman who is not stout the other day, "but. I seldom find a paragraph on the opposite side of the ques tion. I should be very glad to take on a few pounds of avoirdupois, and in a recent visit to my physician I asked him how I could accomplish it. 'To begin with,' he said, 'don't worry; to end with, don't worry, and between times don't worry. I never saw a thin woman yet,' he went on, 'who was not a nervous one, and worry isa large part of nerves. Stout women are often nervous as well, but thin women are sure to be so. " 'When you have become thoroughly Imbued with t he desirability of calmness in all emergencies some other aids to flesh are plenty of sbep, eight hours out of every twenty-four at least, and more if you can get it; moderate, regular exercise and fat tening foods, such as soups, butter, cream, farinaceous foods; fat, juicy meats and plenty of olive uil. Eat often rather than much at a time, take warm baths at night and don't worry.' Utica Herald. Be Had Already Registered. Mr. Smith, an English traveler, arrived one evening at a hotel' in Austria, On the way he had picked up a smart German and hired him as his servant. In Austria every one staying at a hotel is obliged to register his name and occupation in a book which Is kept for police examination, so Mr. Smith told his servant Fritz to bring this book for him to write his name. "I have already registered, milor," said Fritz, "as an English gentleman of inde pendent means." "But I've never told you my name, so how do you know what it is?" "I copied it from milor's portmanteau," answered Fritz. "Why, it isn't on my portmanteau," cried Mr. Smith; "bring the book and let me see what you have put down." The book was brought, and Mr. Smith, to his amusement, discovered that his clever servant had described him as: "Monsieur Warranted Solid Leather,"- Gripsack.
