Chairman Barn uM Talks.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Hon. William H.
Barnum OF Connecticut was at the Grand
Pacific hotel to-day. In conversation with
a reporter of the GLOBE Mr.. Barnum said
that but little interest was being taken in
the appointments of his state. He had not
heard whether the Republican senators
would refuse to confirm Cleveland's ap-
pointments or not. In case they should re-
fuse, his understanding OF the law that the
old incumbents would not. go back but that
the office would remain vacant until an
other man was appointed. Cleveland had
made some enemies among disappointed
office-seekers, but that was natural. The
administration was, however, giving good
satisfaction among the Democrats.

The Silver Question.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The condition
of the gold in the treasury is satisfactory,
and seems likely to become better, but the
silver question gives the secretary and
the treasurer great deal OF anxious
thought. Both would like to suspend the
coinage of the standard silver dollar. Treas
urer Jordan goes further than any other
officer of the government. and says the
coinage ought to be stopped at once. If he
had his way it would be suspended from
the 1st of July next He ewould base this
action upon the ground that congress has
made no appropriation for the
purchase of the silver neces-
sary for the coinage of the
required 50, 900, 900 a month, and hence the
treasury department could not buy the
bullion. He presented the proposition to
Secretary Manning as soon as he entered
upon the performance of his duties as
treasurer. Secretary Manning considered
the proposition for time: then he said that
he would like to suspend the coinage of the
standard dollar, but he did not think he
could lawfully do it in that way. He con-
sidered the terms Of the law directing the
coinage of the standard dollar at the rate of
$2,000.000 a month imperative. He
thought it carried the implied author
ity to buy the necessary bullion,
but in order that the legal Ques-
tiOns involved might be authoritatively
settled, the secretary, it is understood, asked
the opinion of the attorney general. 1t is
expected that this will be substantially the
same as expressed by Secretary Manning,
so the treasurer will go on buying silver
bullion. and the mints will go Oh coming
silver dollars until congress acts upon the
matter. The only reform measure Jordan
has been able to institute in this connection
is in the purchase of the bullion. He does
not rest content with the first prices at
which silver is offered. He insists upon
getting it at as low price as possible.

Your kiss dispels all trace OF care!
And in your dear eyes dewy dark
Shines out the fair, unfading spark

of "lOve that will abide Away"
You say.
And how you laugh derlding Time.
And say; "Love lives In fadeless primel
And passion deep and pure rs ours
Can bid defiance TO all powers!"
All, mel laugh gayly as you may,
You'll think of this again some day
Some dayl
And then shall not feel as now,
Your kiss like balm upon my brow!
/ shall not feel your happy hands
Lie on my glad heads golden strands;
For Love-hght Love will go away;
a 'Tis Natures law"-or so you'll say.
Some day!
Yes, can look within your eyes,
so darkened now with sad sorprlsel
And say with clear, unfaltfing tongue,
Tint Life grows old, but Love stays young
And when the roses fade and fall
That Love goes too for good and all
For all!
And when that time shall come to me
Now, mark you, DearL-Ill cease to bo!-
Aud when repentant tears fall hot
Upon pale lips that answer not
When longing eyes will sadly trace
The carelines on my death-cOld face,
You'll call to mind that woful day

AN OLD TRICK REVIVED.
The Way Some People Mako Six Bank
Notes Out Of Five.

The Way Some People Make Six Bank
Notes Out Of Five.
There Is an old swindling device
which consists in cutting bank notes
into strips and then, In putting them
together, save enough from each to make,
an additional note. This ingenious pro-
cess, technically known as sweating"
has been applied to the United States
silver certificates.
The discovery was made yesterday at
the Sub-Treasury by Mr.. Marlor, who
has charge of that department, A batch
of ten-dollar certificates was received
from a Wall street bank Friday and
was redeemed. Yesterday II was found
that several Of the notes which, on q
cursory handling, appeared TO have been
accidentally torn and afterward pasted
together, had in reality been subjected
to the sweating" process above al
luded to.
The law permits the Treasury Depart
ment TO redeem mutilated bill at It's
face value II three-ffths Of II remain.
The sharpers have taken advantage OF
this law. The certificates were first cut
to five pieces, and then, by taking one
piece from five different certificates,
sixth certificate was made. Thus the
five genuine certificates would each
lack one-ffth, but tho sixth or bogus
certificate would apparently have enough
pieces pasted together to make 1t COM
Meta All the certificates were there
fore. until the trick was discovered, re-
deemable at their face value Unfortu-
nately for the swindler the ten dollar
certificates have the numbers Of each
engraved in various places on the note
in very small figures. OF course the
doctored notes were made Of fragments
containing numbers which did not cor.
respond. 1t was this discovery which
exposed the fraud. IN y Heraid

They stood already as close as Il they
were plighted lovers; and Patience had
no excuse for not reading the love shat
streamed from his eyes into hers. Her
breath quickened and her check flushed,
and it must have been minutes that they

rubbish, reading one another's eyes, and
without a spoken word.

No answer.

would have been fool. Was not her

the sunshine. And thus not only Far
mer Blackthorn, but Farmer Marrish
also, saw Stephen and Patience coming
toward them hand in hand. Patience s
hand struggled little, bird-like, toSget
free, seeing that her father had COM
pany. But Stephen held it firm. Mill
port had rubbed off his shyness long
ago; and, indeed, he would have been
glad II all the world could hear what
he had to say. For he felt like con-
querer, laurel-crowned. II was only q
heart he had conquered; but did Alex
ander ever conquer so much, among all
his worlds.
"rve come back again-like the bad
penny, YOU see, farmer" he said, for
getting even to notice how much his old
patron had changed. I'D have come
straight to the house; but as Mr. Mar
rish wanted to see you first, I've told
Patience what came to tell you-and
and Patience will be my wife, farmer
If you'll have me for SON."
The two farmers exchanged looks
one bewildered; the other, glance
that can only be likened to the sudden
flaming of a glowing coal. But neither
said . word.
