The Other Side of the Gold.

L, for one, have always innocently sup
posed that gold table utensils were what
they pretended to be, all gold: but lately
an expert and n dealer in old silver has
informed me TO the contrary. Even Vic

II should he. For such a thing rs solid
geld is totally unknown. l must say
TINS knowledge Is a vast relief to me
burglars may labor under like delusion.
and fancy any piece Of gold plate is better
worth burglinS than the best silverware
IN the market. But we have all made a
mistake. The finest gold service in ex-
isteRee is but silver, washed with tha,
precious metal. 1t seems no less person
than Mr.. James Keene, when he returned
from England with the famous Ascot cup,

valued az 1000 by the custom house off

figures and his cup was deposited in
place of safety. Shortly after came the
financial crash in Mr.. Keene's fortunes.
aud he found it necessary to raise money
on the Ascot cup. The first jeweler and
expert in New York was dispatched to the
bank TO examine, or rather TO ASSAY. its
intrinsic value. He found, to his own en-
tire satisfaction, that the !, 900 guinea cup
was worth precisely 5000, including

Mr.. Lincoln was by nature singularly
merciful The ease with which he could
be reached by persons who might profit
by his clemency gave rise To many not
able scenes in the White House during
the war. Upwards of twenty deserters
werc sentenced at one time to he shot.
The warrants for their execution were
sent to Mr. Lincoln for his approval. He
refused to sign them. The commanding
general to whose corps the condemned
men belonged was indignant. He hur-
ried to Washington. Mr.. Lincoln had
listened TO moving petitions for mercy
from humane persons who. like himself,
were shocked at the idea of the cold
blooded execution of more than a score Of
misguided men. His resolution was fixed,
but his rule was TO see every man who
had business with him.
The irate commander was admitted
into Mr. L;ncoln's private Office. With
soldierly bluntness he told the president
that mercy to the few was cruelty to the
many: that executive ciemency III such
a case world bc blow to military dis
cipline. and that unless the condemned
men were made examples of the army
itself would be in danger. General, "
said Mr. Lincoln, there are too MANY

Tho Striking Miners Receiving Material
Assistance from Observation-Disclosures
Who Get the Advance Go Out Because
Hon-union Men Handle Their Coal.

! READING. Pa, January 10-Chairman
I John L. Lee and William T. Lewis, Master
Workman of the National Miners Assem-
bly,, held a conference with prominent
Knights of Labor last night in relation To
the strike The session lasted until nearly
midnight Chairman Lee stated to-day
before leaving the city, that Il feel that we
have this strike in our own hands All OF
the Reading Railroad Company's colleries
are practically idle. They are making the
show of running several OF their mines
with handful OF men, but they are
neither selling nor shipping a ton OF coal
Beginning with to-day not an individual
mine will be III operation. The miners of
the Wyoming region have not been called
upon 10 strike but they have promised
financial support. If il is necessary To call
them out to win the strike. they will re-
spond 10 q man. But no such order has
yet been issued. Ii ii is absolutely neces-
ssry for the Reading miners 10 win. every
miner in Pennsylvania will be called upon
h strike. and our assurances are that they
will all come out ii called upon"
Mr.. Lee added that lac had been assured
that the knights in this city were heartily
with the order at large in demanding the
reinstatement Of all the men discharged
after the strike had been declared otf and
, that il they did move they would move ss
one man. Ia this connection, however. it
may he stated on the other hand. that the
Reading knights numbering 20oo, have
reiterate time aud again that they would
not strike. and this is the situation to-day.
The shops are working. and there are no in
dicatlonS of strike, though they will give
all the financial help they can. Knights here
say that in refusing 10 strikeJhey obeyed
rules Of the Order, as Chairman Lee had no
authority to order a strike, which could
only be ordered by the District Assembly
or the General Executive Board.
