TISSUE SHAVING BALLS,
A Pan-American Dollar.

The silver coinage Of Canada and the
United States are Of the same value, and
on our northern border Canadian silver
circulates freely. Our greenback dollar
also is readily taken i'll Canada. A uni
form dollar is most advantageous for
trade between the two countries.
1t has been suggested that one of the
things that should occupy the careful
attention of the three Americas con-
gress is the fixing on common silver
dollar for all the countries. The coin
should be of uniform size and weight in
all the republics, but each would stamp
its own national device on its own dollar
The South American countries are at
present unfortunately suffering from a
deprecated paper currency, but, follow
ing the example of the United States,
they could resume in due time. The
time need not be long if they resumed
on a silver basis. All the countries OF
the American continent united in a
common silver coinage would, undoubt-
edly, have a powerful influence on the
silver market of the world. They would
have an important bearing on the ques
ton of the bi-metallic standard also.
The influence of such q pan-American
dollar on our trade with the countries
south Of us would become more and
more favorable.

Montana's Representative Honored.
The western men are practically we'll
with the appointment of the
committee on coinage, weights and meas
ures. The fact that it is the strongest
western body in the house and that there
is every indication that it is favorably
disposed towards the coinage of silver
not only gives them general satisfaction
but it shows that Mr.. Carter of Montana
was fsr-sighted when he concluded to
vote for Mr.. Reed for speaker. It was
urged that Mr.. Reed was governed by
Wall street influence but the absurdity
of this charge is seen in the personnel of
the coinage committee. That committee
means, if it means anything, that the
legislation of the house in the tifty-irst
congress will be far more liberal to this
metal than it has ever been before. Mr..
Carter was appointed chairman OF the
committee on mines and mining. Ii he
had been asked to name his preference,
he could not have chosen anything that
would have suited him better and the
fact that he is giNe1 chairmanship In
his first term is not only pleasing to HIM
.lf, but should be regarded as an indica'
ton that the speaker of the house pro
poses to give the new states an equal
show with the older ones in the matter oi
places at his disposal. Mr.. Carter, besides
his craftsmanship, is assigned to the coin
age committee and the committee or
postofices and postroads. He will have
his hands full this winter. The house

Another Prize Fight.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 2s.-The
fight between James Smith of England
and Frank Slavin, the Astralian champion,
was fought this morning upon private
grounds, thirty miles from Bruges.
Much squabbling from the outset, and
owing to the outrageous conduct of
Smiths party, at the conclusion of the
fourteenth round the referee declared the
fight a draw, and refused to remain on
the ground. Smiths party evidently saw
that their man was beaten and broke into
the ring and interfered with the fair pro-
gress of the fight. Slavin forced the fight
at the start, hitting Smith several times
on the chest and head. In the sixth
round Slavin landed a terrific blow on
one of Smiths eyes. In the thirteenth
Smiths friends struck Slavin, but theil
man was once more knocked down, as he
was also in the fourteenth.
Slavin protested against the treatment
he was receiving and appealed to the ref
cree for fair play. The referee said i
was impossible to secure fair treatmen
for Slavin and declared the fight draw
Slavin was full of fight to finish.

Liberty Statue uniustly nrallgned.

At the recent congress of the fAmeri-
can Ornithologists' union, Jonathan
Dwight, Jr., did public service in
reading a paper on "Blrds That have
Struck the Statue of Liberty, New York
Harbor." Considerable uneasiness has
been felt for some time on the subject
of the sacrifice of migratory birds to the
Turing brilliancy Of the Liberty and
other lights, and many exaggerated
statements have been made in the
papers. All alarm, however, is now dis
sipated by the fact, which Mr.. Dwight
places on record, that the whole number
of birds killed this year at the statue of
Liberty is 900, which is considerably less
than last year. OF the dead birds picked
up this year 60 per cent. belonged to
one species, the Maryland yellow
throats.-New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.

The Worlds Greatest Mining Camp.

Butte City, Montana, has grown to be
the greatest mining camp in the world.
The mineral yield of last year placed it
in the lead, as it placed Montana ahead
of its sister states and territories in min
eral production. Montana's output Of
gold and silver in 1888 was $24,61s,OOO.
That gave her first place by $2,000,000.
And when the copper product was added
her contributions to these three items Of
the wealth of the country reached $40,-
100000. This year, it is estimated that
the new state will show a yield of $780,
100000 in gold, silver and copper. More
than half of Montana's mineral output
last year came from Butte. The devel-
opment has been recent and marvelously
rapid. Five years ago "the Leadville Of
Montana" was very appropriate title,
for Butte then was turning out So, ,000, 900
year. But now, with twelvemonth's
showing of $24,0OO,00O, the claim to be
"the richest camp in the world must be
conceded. Eight thousand tons day is
no unusual output from the Butte mines.
Nine silver mills, with their ATS stamps
have capacity of 700 tons day. Then
there are four smelters. But most nota-
able of all are the Anaconda works with
their capacity for treating 5000 tons Of
ore daily. In this Butte district, four
miles wide by six miles long, there are
four clearly defined classes Of mines
The first class Of ore yields silver only
Another class produces copper only. The
third class is combination of gold ant
silver, and the fourth class is copper
! bearing silver. But more remarkable
, than this close association of lodges O.
different metals is the freak by which ,
ledge will change from one metal tt
another. More thar one mine Of Butt
has been opened and developed for silver
but after years of working has turned t.
copper. The camp of Butte is spread ou

The German Empress Crown.

Emperor William has a much smaller
head than his father and grandsire and
the imperial crown, therefore, does not
fit him. A new one was ordered several
months ago, and it was sent to Berlin
on Monday, Oct. IA. This new emblem
of sovereignty weighs less than three
pounds, although made Of massive gold;
therefore the head beneath will not be
SO uneasy after all. Tt is ornamented
with 100 diamonds, the ball which sur.
mounts it consisting of simple polished
sapphire.

crown as well as her lord and master,
