UNwELCoME VIsIToRs.--Last Sunday
several houses in the vicinity of The
Red Pump and Fallston We're entered by a
thief ransacked and robbed. The first house
entered was that of G. w. Pyle, near the Red
Pump. Closets and bureaus were overhaul
ed, but nothing was afterwards missed. The
house of jarrett Taylor, n colored man, was
also visited, and two watches, some jewelry
and money stolen, The thieves next broke
into the wheelwright shop of Lambert Pen
nington, at Fallson, and absractcd some
tools.
At u late hour Sunday night, some one en-
tered the dwelling house of VIM. Walters, at
Falston, by cutting the Stats Of a window,
and breaking pane of glass; which enabled
them to unfasten the window. They mad
their way through the house, by lighting
matches, and searched it thoroughly. One
Of Mr.. Waters daughters was awakened by
a slight noise in the passage, near the door
of her room, and awoke her sister, who slept
with her, and their voices alarmed the in'rud-
er, who ran rapidly down stairs and escaped
by the front door. BY the time Mr.. Waters
and his son were aroused the robber had dis
appeared. The only article that could be
missed was silk muller. The thief left be.
hind him a short stout stick. which had been
taken from Mr. Pcnningtons shop.

Mr.. Stump's insurance bill came up in
the Senate on Wednesday of last week. He
said he thought the bill would explain itself,
and stated that he had drafted it at the re-
quest of some Of his constituents, who had
been wronged by Life Insurance Companies.
He defended the bill eloquenty and at
length, and was listened to with more than
usual attention by the Senate. Mr.. Bannon's
motion to refer the bill to the Judiciary
Committee finally prevailed.

RELICS OF THE EARLY SETTLERs.-Several
rare old coins having recently been found in
! county, and mention thereof made in The
Agis Mr.. Jacob Lively, who resides near
Churchvllc, has showed lis one which would
be treasure to a numismaiisi 1t is New
England shilling, coined in 1852 One side
contains the inscription "In Massachusetts,"
surrounding pine tree. The other con
tains The words New England, An. Dom.
1652-XII." 1t is said that very few of these
| coins are now in existence. They were coin
ed by the Pilgrim fathers from old liver
plate brought from England and having been
issued probably without authority, the Eng
fish government prohibited their circulation.
The piece is about the size of silver quarter,
very roughly made and very thin, ofirregular
shape, the edges having been clipped to make
it conform to the weight of an English shi-
ling.
Mr.. Lively also has an old corner clock,
the works of which were brought over from
England by an ancestor of the Paul family,
at the time of VIM. PENIS first voyage. The
works were at first encased in cloth, but af-
forwards covered with wooden case in this
country. 1t is still in good order and keeps
correct time.
Capt A. Lingan Jarrett, of Bel Air, has
showed us pine tree shilling similar to that
of Mr. Lively also an Austrian silver coin,
about the size of silver dollar, dated 1904,
and a small Roman copper coin, of the time
of Augustus Caesar These coins are very
perfect.
David Benson has British copper coin
dated 1907, which was found on the farm of
David Tucker, Forest Hill.

To The Editor Of The -Egis:
SIR W. s. BIS pieces cannot be placed in
any way to form right angled triangle, but will
form concave or rc-entrant polygon, one side
of which will be and another 10 inches If we
compare this figure to right angled triangle,
with 8 inch base and IL inch perpendicular,
placing the polygon upon the triangle, the inch
side of the one will fall upon the 5 inch side of
the other and the ID inch side of the one will fall
upon the Is inch side of the other, but the other
two sides of the polygon will fall within the
hypothenuse of the triangle, and when the two
polygons are placed revcrsedly together they
form paralleogram, with an outer boundary
of5 by 10 inches, which would contain 65 square
inches, If there were no interstice in the paral-
telegram. But the sides of the polygons which
are placed together are concave, and Join only
at their ends, aud an interstce or vacancy, the
shape of two accute angles with their bases TO-
gclhcr, Is formed in the centre of the parallelo-
gram, and the extra inch is accounted for in this
way. To prove that the 3 by 8 inch piece placed
to the by inch piece does not form triangle,
the former DIVORCES inches in the distance OF
inches, while the latter diverges inches in the
same distance If the above pieces form a trun.
gle, the proportion s 81: 5: must be uniform.
The above proportion is not uniform so the
figure is not triangle, but polygon with four
sides. j. W. MCNAgB

Part of a negro boys work in Cumber-

in a very large furnace. The weather was
cold few days ago, and after putting a
match to the kindlings, he crept into the fur
mace to get warm, The door swung shut
behind him, and fastened. The fire blazed
up rapidly, there seemed a certainty of Gre.
nation for the lad. He yelled, but nobody
heard him. The flames began to scorch him,
and lie was almost suffocated. A despairing
kick unhinged the door, however, and he
crawled ont, singed and scared

B., wishing to know how 1t is by dividing q
superfcies you gain one inch according to his

one Inch, because you cut the square SO that in
your first cut you go 8 inches on the base to 8
inches on the perpendicular, and in the second
cut you go2 inches on base to inches on per-
pendicular. So you do not form q right-augled
triangle, but trapezium; consequently when

The Silver Bill.

The House of Representatives, on Thurs
day of last week, concurred in the Senate's
amendments to the silver bill and again pass
ed it by majority of more than two thirds.
Contradictory reports are current as TO the
contemplated action of the President in re-
gard to it, If he refuses to sign it the House
will certainly pass it over his veto. In the
Senate, on the contrary, the requisite two
thirds majority is not so certain. 1t is be-
ieved that change of two votes would sus-
tain the Presidents veto. The probabilities
are, however, that it will become law, and
silver will be again restored to its place as q
coin of the country, Secretary Sherman, it
is reported, has already made arran gements
to run the minis to their full capacity coin
ing the bright new silver pieces. The bill
limits the amount to be coined at not less
than two millions nor more than four millions
per month
Somebody was evidently mistaken in re-
gard to the way the silver bill would work; for
surprising to say, since its passage, the pre-
MUM on gold has fallen, and United States
bonds have advanced in price. The New
York Herald accounts for these facts by as
serting that when silver becomes a legal ten
der it will serve as well as gold for customs
duties, &C., and therefore there will be less
demand for gold, the cheaper metal taking its
place, and the price of gold must go
down.
The rise in the price of government bonds
is attributed to the fact that the new order of
things will put a stop to calling in the six
per cent. bonds and the funding of the debt at
four per cent. Bond holders were supposed
to be the persons most interested in defeating
the silver bill, because it would compel them
to take their interest in silver instead of gold.
Now it appears they will be benefited by the
change, and would rather hold on to their
bonds and receive six per cent in silver than
to have them called in and be obliged to take
be more desirable investment than they are
now, and their price has consequently adj
vanced.
The strength of the popular demand for
from the fact that although the most inf1u-
entail daily newspapers, with scarcely an ex-
ception, have strenuously opposed the bill,
their words have been as the idle wind. The
people, whether wisely or not, have deter
mined to have q legal-tender silver currency,
and legislators have been compelled TO sue
cumb to the pressure. 1t is TO be regretted
that Congress did not authorize the new sill.
yer dollar to contain sufficient amount of
silver to make its present value equal to a
gold dollar. Then the bond holders and
capitalists would have had worry little 10 coul-
plain of, except the inconvenience ofhandling
bulky coinage. So far as the public gener-
ally are concerned the trouble of carrying
large amounts of silver need cause little ap-
prehension, for there are few of us who are
likely TO ever have on hand more silver than
we can conveniently carry. This view of the
question, therefore, need not Brighten farmers
nor business men generally.
