THE CENT IN GEORGIA.
1t is Still a Strange Coin and the
Natives Call It a Penny.

The action of the Railroad Commission of
Georgia, amending its rules so as to make
passenger fares exact, will introduce the PEN
ny into general circulation in this State. The
rule has been that the odd cents should go to
the railroad or the purchaser Of ticket ac-
cording to circumstances. For instance, for
distance of nine miles the road was entitled
to 27 cents but under the old rule it sold for
25 cents, the nearest figure to even change in
our usual currency. If the distance was
eleven miles the passenger paid 30 cents for
the same reason. The railroads never OBJ
jected to this arrangement, as it was practi-
cally an even thing for them. The commits
sion thinks that such an arrangement compel
one passenger to make up another's deficit,
and is therefore unjust, no matter how small
the amount involved may be.
The result of this decision will be the gen.
eral introduction and free use of the penny.
1t has never been used in this State since the
war to any extent Post Offices have had a
monopoly of the penny business. From time
to time few enterprising retail merchants In
our cities have endeavored to put them into
circulation. but they did not take" Five
cents has been the lowest ordinary coin
among our people for years. When pennies
are at every railroad station and are given in
change at almost every sale OF a ticket they
are bound to come into general circulation In
all branches of business.
Their use will inculcate a useful habit Of
economy. As rule our people are too apt
to despise the humble penny, They cannot
afford to do so until they have Imore OF the
prouder denominations of money. 1t Is i'm
possible to calculate the actual waste which
has been caused by the use of the nickel as
the minimum of currency in the South, but
it has undoubtedly been great. Our people
are learning to economic in small things and
the little brown penny will be welcome to
Georgia.

his immediate presence with posse sum
cently large to protect the extensive lime
stone quarries in that section. which are
principally owned by Mr.. Chauncey An

one under him, ordered two, OF the men, at
the point of a revolver, to leave the place.
They became frightened. not being able TO
understand English, and tried to make
known, they say, their peaceful lntentlon.

Presentation.

Easter evening there was gathering Of
friends at the home Of Rev. j. Nj. Lowden,
to present Mrs Lowden with valuable me:
mortal quilt Of satin and velvet ribbons. 1t
was an easter offering from Miss Frances e.
Flood, in remembrance of the loyal love Of
her mother, Mrs. Luther Flood, for the Free
Baptist church; 1t was also memorial of
the other members of her family, of whom
the giver, an almost helpless invalid, is now
the sole survivor.
There were thirty-six squares in this beau
tiful quilt, and the arranging and basting of
each had consumed, on the part of the giver,
days painful labor, before it was finished
off for her by some dear friend, or by the
Free Baptist Church Aid Society. Attached
to each square by tiny ribbons were memo
rial letters OF. notices, all penned by the
same patient hand.
Mrs. Lowden was very much touched by
the gift, and the response, was most feeling
ly made by her husband.
During the evening an Easter poem COM
posed by Miss Flood was sung by two little
children who presented basket Of flowers
to Mrs. Lowden, while young lady recited
on Easter selection and presented her with

The Triennial Catalogue Of Colby Univer-
sity, ON which Prof. Hall has been at work
for some time, has appeared. 1t is a very
carefully edited record of every graduate of
the University, from its foundation to the
present. The total number Of graduates is
1,1O2. of whom 1853 are deceased. Accompa-
nying .the catalogue is letter from Presi-
dent Pepper to the Alumni, in which. in a
few brief and pointed words, he speaks TO
the alumni Of the excellent condition and
prospects Of their alma mater. He mentions
several important changes in the cul riculum.
In 1881 the chair of History was founded
Within the last three years a new chair in
Natural Science has been created and filed,
an Associate Professor in the Rhetorical de-
partment elected, and an Instructor in Gym
nastics appointed. With this increase of
teachers and teaching there has come the in
PRODUCTION, more and more, of elective stud
les. "Some," says President Pepper, may
regret this Few, however, will feel this re.
gret, and none should. All the studies OF
the first two years are still required. Those
best knowing the mental needs OF students
at that stage cannot fail to approve this. In
the Junior and Senior years also, the princi-
pal studies are required to an extent suffi-
cient to lay foundation for special work
and to give harmony and balance to the
course" There is urgent need for the erec-
tion of another building for the accommoda-
ton of the departments of geology and biol
ogy and of astronomy.

FIVE MILLION ENVELOPES.
The Man Who Buys that Number
Yearly Fighting the Trust.
Especial to the Press.1

a
AUGUSTA, April 5.-The great envelope
trust, comprising all the great manufacturers
in the country seems to be grinding the ex-
tensive publishing houses in this city with
an iron hand, and Mr.. Z. G. Allen, OF Angus
ia, who purchases more envelopes than any
other single individual in the country, has re-
belled against 1t and says he has not and
will not purchase an envelope of it. His an
nual consumption of envelopes reaches from
four to five millions, and when the trust was
formed, he asked that he might be made an
exception to the average purchaser so that
the rise in prices should not effect him. But
the trust said no, he must take his chances
with the rest Of the buyers. He accordingly
decided not to buy an envelope Of the combi-
nationa nd at the present time is having
50O, 900 made in Boston by hand and they
cost him grain less than the price asked by
the trust, which owns all the machinery and
patent rights connected Herewith for the
manufacture of these goods in the country,
so that where any are made outside, machtn-
cry must be dispensed with.
Mr.. Allen is now about to make deter
mined effort. April 14th he sails from New
York for Germany 10 be absent until May
26th. In the latter country he proposes, II
he can make satisfactory arrangements and
prices are low enough. to purchase 20.000,000
envelopes and import them to this country.
and place them in the markets of New York
and other large cities at figures which would
break the combination. He thinks it would
not be feasible to buy in England as the
trust has strong influence there. The duty
is 25 per cent. Mr.. Allen says the price Of
trade envelopes has been Increased % per-
cent. by the combination and common white
envelopes such as are used by the masses,
in many instances, as much as one hundred
per cent He is emphatic in his denuncia-
tion of the trust and the burden it has laid
upon the people to fill its Golfers.

The Burlington Strike Explained by a
maine Engineer.
Lewiston Journal.

Mr.. Charles S. Crocket of Auburn, worked
as an engineer on the G. b. & O. road for
many years. He says the public has not
been given a correct version of the engineers
strike, and the Brotherhood have a just
grievance. Says Mr.. Crockett:
"The engineers want equal work, which
they didn't get On the G. B. q O., an en-
gineer gets S3.35 for run OF l15 miles, the
first year, "a the second year and S4.75 the
third wear. 1t takes him all the way from
ten TO "a hours to make this run. The
company laid its plans to have as few S4.75
men as possible, and was constantly dis
charging them on petty complaints-running
them in at one end and out the other. And
after they had turned off a man they bounded
him so that he could not get JOB on another
road. The men wanted to be used fair, and
that's all they wanted.
"The company is now hiring green men TO
take the place Of the strikers, and they are
smashing up the rolling stock at a great rate;
Head and tail collisions occur every day and
it is not safe to ride on the road. These
greenhorns will eventually win for the strik-

place, is waging a war against the dealers in
short Holsters, and is determined to stop the
trafic in crustaceans below the regulation
length of 104 inches. Warden James Bailey
of Bath has been actively engaged in the
service of the State since the first OF March,
and will continue at least throughout this
month. In addition to the large seizure Of
over 100 at Woolwich, he has recently seized
four lots in Portland, of a length prohibited
by law, two of which were made on Tuesday
The same warden lDtely visited large num-
ber of cars at Pemaquid, and liberated the
short Holsters contained therein. He says
there would be but few short ones sold if it
were not for the smacks which proceed along
the coast purchase all that can be found, and
urge the fishermen 10 save their catch of
illegal length for sale. The shcrt Holsters
are largely shipped to Boston and New
York on the steamers.
On Tuesday, Warden Peabody of Thomas
ton seized seven barrels of short and
s'count" Holsters mixed, at Rockland, and
today was holding them twenty-four hours
as provided by law, for the owner to appear.
MrBaily was in consultation with Commits
sioner Counce today, as to the further prose-
cution of the campaign against the illegal
