locking man, with long, but not deep red
cut. stretching across his throat almost
from ear to ear. was led into the police
station by young son.. His name was
said to be Hans Halverson. a shoemaker,
who resides with his family at Susan and
Oneida streets in West St. Paul. Occasion
ally he has fits of insanity,
caused by melancolic metal de-
rangement, and the first symptom
of these temporary spells is an effort
to cut short his life. Last evening his
family observed that he was growing
mysterious, and watched him. When he
went to bed it was supposed he would
sleep off the fit. Instead. however, Halver
strom opened razor and drew it across his
throat. Soon afterward he was discovered
grooming among bloody bed-clothes, and
acting as if deluded with the belief that he
was about to die. No doctor was sum-
moned. the wound being too slight for
surgical attendance. He was lodged in the
county Jail to be examined by the probate
court to-day for insanity.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-The senate
after debate passed the fortifcation bill.
During the discussion, the following letter
from MIR. s. j. Tilden was read:
The apathy Of congress on this subject
would be incredible If 1t did not confront us.
1t contrasts with the rivalry which is so con-
spcuous to insist on our taking high tone
toward foreign nations on every occasion of
difference between them an US. 1t contrasts
also with the favor which is shown to schemes
of prodigality and schemes to waste the pub
tic resources on things known to be abso-
lutely useless. Among the people the desire
for liberal approprl ations towards the means
of public defense is well nigh unanimous.

from the circumstance that more than 700
representing all political parties, containing
expressions on the subject have been sent to

The spacious room seemed bare
And drear beyond compare
A man with spars ray hair
Sits grim and lo.4ely,
Brooding on sin and shame,
His smirched and ruined name
Which was the most to blame?
He? or she only?
When June and Winter wed
They shoe Times steed with lead;
Small wonder that she fled
To love and laughter,
To Life's full swirl and stir,
Though years must bring to her
Even bitterer,
More sordid, after"
Only the stage-worn playl
Light Love will have its way,
Its own mad course, nor stay
For name nor station.
A woman rashly bought,
Ambition coldly sought,
Passion and Greed-have wrought
This desolation.

SILVE.i MONEY.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Will you please give us through the col
umns of the GLOBE little information in re-
gard to the trade dollar. First-For what
purpose was the trade dollar made and what
is its intrinsic value? Second-Whv are they
not receivable for goods the same as other
money? Third-What is the intrinsic value
of the daddy dollar? By answering the
above you will oblige, very truly yours,
st. Paul July 81. SUBSCRIBER.
The act of congress known as the coin
age act of 1878, which made the gold dollar
the unit of value, substituted for the old
silver dollar which had been demonetized a
com which is known as the trade dollar.
The professed design of the trade dollar
was for the convenience of commerce with
China and Japan, and its weight was fixed
at 400 grains: but it was never intended to
be made legal tender money.
The old silver dollar receives its title of
''the dollar of the daddies" because it was
the first American dollar. The act of con-
gress of April 2. 1892, which established
the dollar unit as money of account, also
provided for the coinage of a silver dollar
''of the value of Spanish milled dollar as
the same is now current" and of half and
quarter dollars in proportion. The first
silver dollar that was coined under this act
was in 1894 and weighed 416 grains, of
which 371I grains were pure sill
YER, the tineness being s92 4-1O0O.
By an act passed in 1887 con-
gress reduced the standard weight of the
silver dollar to 4121a grains. but increased
the ineness, the quantity of pure silver
remaining 371A as before, and the half
and quarter dollars suffering proportional
changes. On the I'd day of March, 1S49.
congress passed an act directing the coin
age of gold dollars, to be issued the same
year, weighing 25 $40 grains, 90 fine,
% 22-100 grains being pure gold. In 1878
the silver dollar was demonetized, as stated
above. but in 1878 was remonetized by con-
gress, and is to-day the same old dollar of
41215 grains which our fathers loved. 1t
will be observed that the trade dollar con
tains more silver than the standard dollar,
but from the fact that it does not bear the
government stamp of legal tender it is not
money-only a co mmodity.

A NEW MAGAZINE.

The announcement that famous New
York publishing firm is about to start a
new magazine, which from the beginning
will rank in literary merit with the Century
and Harper's is matter for congratulation.
There cannot be too many means of literary
expression in this country. The daily
newspapers, of course, especially since
they have been paying more particular at
tentiOn to the literary portion of their con-
tents, have encouraged and developed
large number of very excellent writers,
who would otherwise have remained silent
But the newspapers and magazines occupy
fields apart. The former is for the day
alone, the latter is more enduring. Conse-
quently magazine literature is apt to have
polish and completeness lacking in the
more ephemeral kind. American litera-
ture needs all of the encouragement of this
kind it can get. That in all parts of the
country exist writers who only need oppor-
tunitY and training to become much
more than mediocre is evidenced from the
several ''new" authors, of both sexes, who
have come ont of the South recently and
appeared through their writings in the
present popular magazines. 1t is only a
very small percentage. however, that can
thus be heard. The new magazine will in
crease the opportunities and thus aid in the
growth and elevation of that which we are
now said to lack, distinctive national
literature. No section of the country
either is more prolific in scenes and Incl
dents, in character studies and in descript-
i've possibilities than the West. 1t is to e
hoped, then, that the literateurs, or liter
arians, as the learned Bostonians would
have US say, in this part of the country
may be encouraged to renewed effort and
that when the long looked for American
novel comes to be written it may. perhaps.
