Curious Facts About American
Coins.


New York Tribune.
There is really no end said an
amateur coin collector to a Tribune
reporter, ITO the list of articles COL
lected in cabinets | collect only
American silver coins, aud | know
that there is a whole world Of unsus.
pected details about this branch OF
collecting. There, for instance, ia the
mystery about the coinage Of 1904. A
small member Of dollars was struck,
and Of these coins not one has ever
been found. There are two speci-
mems in existence OF the 1904 dollar,
bat there is every reason to believe
that these were re-strikes made in
1923 by some ia the mint at Philadel.
phia in a surreptitious and unlawful
way for some collector who had inau
ence. What can have become Of
those dollars that have disappeared SO
completely. From time TO time at
auction sales one Of the re strikes ap
pears, aud at each sale fetches a
greater sum. As high as $1,000 has
been paid for one of them. But
what shall be said Of the half dollar
Of 1902 OF these no less than 1866,
5l9 specimens we're coined, yet none
has ever been discovered. A certain
number Of half dollars bearing the
date 1905 will, il examined closely
discover that the FIVE has been struck
over a four. This only shows that a
certain number Of the 1904 half dol
lars was never issued from the mint,
aud was converted into 1905 pieces,
but II does not explain the total van
ishing Of those that we're issued.
There can be no doubt that something
happened Of a mysterious character
which caused the dollars and half
dollars to disappear, TOR the quarters
OF that year are not particularly scarce;
a fair specimen can be had for 81
Yet there were only 6738 pieces of
that denomination struck in that An
nus Mirabilis for us collectors, and Of
dollars there we're 1850. There were
32l dollars struck the next year, and
these we're in all probability for the
Cabinets Of collectors, for no dollar
was issued 10 1905. Then the coinage
silver dollars ceased, and did not
begin again until 1896. Il would be
easy TO frame the hypothesis that the
American silver coins we're
over weightand that merchants bought
them up and sold them for melting.
But although the facts in relation 10
the dollars bear out this theory, yet
the annals Of the mint about the half
arc opposed 10 it, for in 1905
was a very large issue Of this
piece, and SO on every year until 1915,
when there was comparatively a small
ssue. In 1916 there was no coinage
II all Of half dollars. Coins Of this
denomination for 1915 are rather
earce, so that 4 fine specimen is
Worth from ten 10 twenty dollars

THE LEDGER printing Office IA
started in 1855 in the building where
this paper is now published, and it
has been kept open and running every
working day since, through war, pesti-
lence and panics, prosperity, adver-
sity and every viscissitude Of fortune.
Mr.. WhitmOre. the present publisher,
bought the job Office in 1863, and in
1865 he, and a brother who died
soon afterwArd, started the Daily
LRDDER in the same building. Then
there was plenty Of room, and nearly
half Of it was rented out. But the
business has steadily increased in all
the departments until it has entirely
outgrown the modest little building
in the midst Of the banks and insu-
rance and brokers' Offices on Madison
street. The editors were crowded out
entirely by the introduction Of a large
bindery on the second floor a few
years ago and they had to have
an annex built over the back alley.
II has been evident for some time
hal a change was inevitable, and now
we are ready to announce that ar-
engagements have been made, papers
all signed, rates of insurance agreed
upon with the Board OF Underwriters,
etc, for q removal. The large and
commodious storehouse at II Union
street, near Main, 208 feet deep by %
wide, has been leased upon reasonable
terms for a long period of years and
will be occupied some time next month.
The ground floor will afford magnif
cent space for office in front, with job
stock, material and presses back to
the alley. The engine will be outside
10 the rear under the pavement. A
deep cellar runs the entire length of
the building. Over head the front
Offices are occupied by lawyers; back
Of these there is a room 45 by 80 feet,
with ample light and ventilation.
The composing room for the news
pape;, and the editorial rooms, and
possibly the bindery, will be on this
floor, when it is suitably partitioned
of. There is also other rooms aud
co%nveniences, an elevator, ETC., not
necessary to describe as yet. Suffice
to say, that we will have ample room,
and probably the largest newspaper
and job printing establishment
in the South certainly the
largest aud most c~ommodious, save
the Courier Journal, in Tennessee or
any adjoining State. With increased
facilities, fast presses, we'll trained
men in every department., and ample
elbow room, we hope to occupy this
field Of labor and usefulness to greater
advantage than ever before, and to
continue to grow up with Memphis
and the surrounding coaatry,. The
growth of this establishment, when
We take into account the population
and situation, has been fully equal to
that Of the New York Sun or any Of
the metropolitan papers.

Crime Deliberate.


LONDON, September 24.-Our spec
ial correspondent on board the steamer
Garth Castle, which arrived at Ply
mouth to. day. sends the following
account Of an interview,he had with
Mrs. Carey during the passage from
Madeira to Plymouth:
IL was very difficult to get access to
Mrs Carey and the other witnesses in
the ODonnell case. Mrs. Carey and
her seven children came aboard in
Algoa Bay and registered under their
own names as second class passengers.
Shortly after, as the authorities had
not announced their intention Of send
ing an escort TO guard the family, il
was thought prudent to transfer Mrs.
Carey and her Eve youngest children,
named respectively Peter, Patrick,
Maggie, Maria and francis to two
contiguous cabins at the extreme end
Of the after part Of the ship and to
keep their whereabouts strictly pri.
waite, if possible, throughout the voy-
ace.

Mrs. 0'Dopnell, or the person SO
called, limited TO her on the Kinfauns
Castle that 0'Donnell was dangerous.
but asked her not 10 tell her husband.
Mrs. Carey ancied, however, that the
warning applied TO herself. Mrs.
0'Donnell was seen 10 tears several
times during the voyage out, aud was
also heard imploriug 0'DOnnell not to
do it. 0'Donnell was heard to say TO

Carey. All these statements must be
received with the greatest caution, for
Mrs. Carey often ~contrsdicts herself.

He Meant Well.

The st. Louis Republican tells of an
amusing incident that occurred in a
church of that city a couple of Sundays
ago. A gentleman was the owner of a
very unique pin in the shape of a large
black spider, the body os which is a
large amethyst. This ornament was
presented to a young lady friend and
she wore it on her dress to service. 1t
so happened, and unfortunately, that a
young gentleman near her perceived
the lifelike ornament on the young lady's
dy's dress, and to all appearances crawl
ing up to her face. A look of terror
overspread his features, and without
any hesitation he endeavored to br ush
off what to him appeared a tarantula.
He missed 1t and brushed at it again,
when the almost audible smiles of a few
who witnessed the gentleman's heroic
endeavors attracted the young lady's at
tention. He became very red in the
face when he discovered his mistake,
and it will be a long time before he at
tends that church again.
