ing up mutilated coins at perhaps
little higher than that allowed by
the notice, they knowing that they
can get a much higher price by
weight.
But bogus notice may be effective
in driving these coins out of use. The
matter of making change depends
very much on common usage of the
people. No one likes to refuse what
people generally accepted. In many
positions one cannot well refuse it.
Whoever is obliged, as all constantly
are, to offer a bill in payment for
something bought, expecting change
as matter of usage, is in a measure
obliged to take such coin as usage
sanctions. This disowned notice may
be useful in changing the usage under
which the deprecated coin has been
circulated. Already the ticket-sellers
and the newsdealers at the elevated
railroad stations are, we believe, in
strncted tC refuse these coins uni
formly and Systematically, and will,
OF course, discontinue paying them
out. Wherever the notice is posted
it will serve to show that these coins
had better not be offered to that deal
er, and will make him ashamed OF
offering them to customers. A few
days of general dissemination of such
placard will open the way-nay,
probably has already opened the way
for the entire public to say, when
one of these coins is offered: II
don't take that kind of money any
more; it is no longer usual change"
BY all means pass the fictitious
placard around till mutilated coin is
known no more. Meantime the pub

A Significant Story.

A Wealthy banker in one of our
large critics who is noted for his large
subscriptions to charities and for his
kindly habits of private benevo!ence,
was called on by his pastor one ever
ing lately and asked to go with him
to the help of man who had at
tempted suicide. They found the
man in in wretched house, in an
alley, not far from the bankers dwell
ing. The front room was cobbIer's
shop; behind it, on a miserable bed
in the kitchen, lay the poor shoe
maker with a gaping cash in his
throat, while his wife and children
were gathered around him.
"These people are starving I" ex-
claimed the banker, as soon as he
caught sight of their pinched, wan
faces and while the doctor was busy
sewing up the cobbler's wound he
hurried away to procure fuel and
food.
"We have been without food for
days." said the woman when he re-
turned. tits not my husbands fault.
He is a Woodworking, sober man.
But he could neither get work nor
pay for that which he had done. To-
day he went for the last time to COL
lect debt due him by a rich family,
but the gentleman was not at home.
My Husband was weak from fasting,
and seeing us starving droye him
mad. So it ended that way" turn
ing to the fainting, motionless figure
on the bed.
The banker having fed and warmed
the family, hurried home, opened his
desk and took out file of little bills.
All his large debts were promptly
met quarterly. but he was apt to be
careless about the accounts for milk,
bread. etc., because they were so
petty.
He found there a bill of Michael
Goodlow's for repairing chlldren's
shoes. ten dollars. Michael Goodlow
was the suicide. 1t was the bankers
unpaid debt which had brough these
people to the verge of the grave and
had driven this man to desperation,
while at the very time the banker
had been giving away thousands in
charity.
The cobbler recovered and will
never want friend while the banker
lives, nor will small unpaid bill
ever again be found on the bankers
table.

through every succeeding stage of it,
that its conclusion would be mortal
submitting to the several exertions
made for his recovery rather as a
duty than from any expectation of

operations of death upon his system
as coeval with disease; and, several
hours before his death, after repeated
efforts to be understood, succeeded in
expressing a desire that he might be
permitted to die without further in

During the short period of is ILL

An eloquent divine in Chicago
drew one of the most important les
sons from the life of General Garfield
for the consideration of young men
from the statement, "He was not
ashamed to aoOrk." 1t underlies all the
grand structure of his life. He did
not sit idly on the street corners and
cry out for more wages and fewer
hours, and refuse to labor unless his
demands were met. Whether it was
the pittance of eight dollars per
month on the canal. a slender income
as teacher in log school house, or
a generous allowance as a general of
the army or legislator, he was at all
times earnest and diligent. The
greatest failure in life is the neglect
of small things. Young men are too
apt to despise them, or pass them as
trivial and beneath their capacity.
Men have had greatness thrust upon
them," but no man ever carved his
way to place by the side of the in
tellectual peers of earth who neglect
ed little duties.

How General Washington Died.

BY consulting the third volume of
the medical and Physical Journal"
published in London, in the year
1900. by "T. Bradley. M. D., R.
Battey, M. D., and A. A. NoehderA
M. d." there will be found, on page
400, a description or report of the last
illness Of Washington and the treat
ment given him. AT present it is
interesting rs an example of too much
doctoring, to say the least.~ 1t is as
follows.
Some time on the night of Friday,
the 10th inst, having been exposed
to rain on the preceding day, Gen
eral Washington was attacked with
an inflammatory affection of the
upper part of the winGpipe, called, in
technical language, cynachet mar
chealis. The disease commenced
with a violent ague, accompanied
with some pain in the upper and fore
part of the throat. a sense of stric-
ture in the same part, a cough and a
difficult rather than painful deglu-
tition, which was soon succeeded by
feyer and quick laborious respira-
ton. The necessity of bl0od-lettine
suggesting itself to the General, he
procured a bleeder in the neighbor-
hood, who took from his arm in the
night twelve or fourteen ounces of
blood.
He could not by any means be pre-
vailed on by the family to send for
his attending physician till the fol-
lowing morning, who arrived at
Mount Vernon, at about IL o'clock
on Saturday. Discovering the case
to be highly alarming, and foresee-
ing the fatal tendency of the disease.
two consulting physicians were i'm
mediately sent for, who arrived, one
at $3.50 and the other at o'clock in
the afternoon. In the meantime en-
ployed two pretty copious bleedings,
blister was applied to the part affec-
ted, two doses of calomel were given
and an injection administered which
operated on the lower intestines, but
all without perceptible advantage.
the respiration becoming still more
difficult and distressing. Upon the
arrival of the first of the consulting
physicians, it was agreed, az there
were yet no signs of accumulation in
the bronchial vessels of the lungs, to
try the result of another bleeding,
when about 32 ounces were drawn
without the smallest apparent allie
Walton of the disease.
Vapors of vinegar and water were
frequently inhaled; ten grains Of
calomel were given, succeeded by
repeated doses of emetic tartar,
amounting in all to FIVE or six grains,
with no other effect than a cOpious
discharge from the bowels. The
powers of life seemed now manifestly
yielding to the force of the disorder.
Blisters were applied to the sxtremi-
ties, together with cataplasm of
vinegar and bran to the throat. Speak.
ing, which was painful from the be-
ginning, now became almost imprac-
ticable. Respiration grew more and
more contracted and imperfect till

Mutilated Coin.

The nuisance of punched pocket
pieces is probably doomed. When
silver rose out of sight, during the
war times, gold or silver coin was
boarded as curiosity or souvenir.
Rural beauX gave them to the bellies
for keepsakes. 70 punch hole
through one so that it might be hung
by a ribbon around the neck was
very natural to string dozen or
twenty in bracelet or necklace by
means of the same device of little
hole in the edge, was not uncommon.
Rogues soon saw in this practice
temptation and opportunity to a
swindie which has become very ex-
tensive. For, when coin returned
to circulation, and the special inter-
est attached to preserving specimens
declined, many persons broke up
their ornaments, made by stringing
together dimes and dollars, and used
the pieces, Notwithstanding the little
holes, for money. And then, under
cover of the fact that number of
punched pieces thus came into circu-
lation somewhat legitimately, the
swindlers adopted the practice of
punching as large a piece as they
dared out of every coin they could
lay hands on the mutiIated coin was
then put in circulation, while the
pieces were kept till enough were
gathered to warrant melting them
and selling AS metal. The good ma
tured tolerance of the people has al
lowed this nuisance to run too long.
Two or three years ago the postoffi-
ces began to refuse the punched piec-
es. Banks and establishments some
what independent of popular custom
have done the same. Keepers of
small shops, restaurants, grocers, sa-
looms and cigar stores, news stands
and the like have felt obliged to con-
tinue to receive them, lest, by refus-
al, they should lose custom. Many
of these have naturally felt justified
in proffering to customers whatever
coins customers gave to them some
have been magnanamouS enough to
sell their mutilated coin as much, and
bear the loss.
Apparently the class of persons re-
sponsible for the swindle have lately
been giving it new turn; for an
anonymous pacard, headed "Notice
to Customers" has made its appear
ance extensively. 1t reads:
The United States Government has fixed
the following values on silver coins with
holes in them:
% cents
Suarter-doliars............ cents
Dih1es Genus
Genus
These values are placed upon coins so
punched with view to calling in and stop
ping the unlawful practice of "mutilating'
silver money of the United States.
We understand that this announce
ment is repudiated by Treasury off,
cials in this city and Washington.
1t can hardly be authentic. for it
would oblige the Government to re-
ceive coin moth withstanding it might
have been mutilated more than the
designated sum; quarter dollar
might be cut in two, and fifteen cents
damaged for each half. The only
just and sensible way of valuing coin
which has been clipped or punched
must be by weighing it. Apparently
the notice is q new cheat of the
swindlers, designed to open the way
for them to go through the city buy

The bad weather on Tuesday and Wednes-
day seriously affected the attendance on the
first two days of the fair which, however,
was more than made up on the following
days, and the fair in point of numbers and
financially, was eminently success. The
receipts amounting to about one thousand
dollars more this year than any other year
since its organization, excepting the year
Henry Ward Beacher was here. The dis
play in some of the departments was not as
full as it has been in former years, but what
was lacking this year in quantity, was largely
made up in quality. The officers of the as
make the fair success and to please the
people. That they did that in an eminent
degree, is noticeable from the fact that there
was the least dissatisfaction among exhibitors
that we have ever witnessed at county fair.
Mr.. Boyce, as president, has given the prepa-
ration of the grounds his personal super
vision and the track was in the best condi-
ton, and the grounds and floral hall the
most tastefully arranged they ever have been.
The display made by our merchants was
very fine. Free & Martin made good show
of hardware and stoves. Forsyth and Rooms
each attempted to Guido the other in fine
harnesses and goods in their line. They
exhibited some harnesses which, when placed
upon the boys flyers around the county, will
show them off to good advantage. w. NJ.
Branch, our Chicago Music Store man, was
there with several fine musical instruments.
w. j. and X. Sellick made selection from
their mammoth stock of dry goods and
millinery, which out-did any like effort in
that direction, that had ever before been ex-
hibited in floral hall. The hats, from the
handiwork of Miss Cory, were marvellous
creations of artistic skill. The ribbons
plumes and feathers were very beautiful, and
for them it seemed as though the hand of
some fairy had gathered the rarest tints and
colors of field and sky, and blended them
into harmonious effects Their display of
fine goods won the admiration and wonder
of all the ladies and such ordinations of
delight as charming exquisite 'just too
lovely for anything" fell from their lips.
The display was 80 fine that even the gentle

and the groom looked very gracious" All
were soon led by the host and hostess to the
pleasant dining hall, where tables bountifully

approach of an officer who sought to gain
admission to the "roost," as the room is
called. The officers are investigating the af-

made to suffer.
