The Oldest Bank Nntns.

The oldest bank notes are the ''hying
money" or convenient money!" first
issued in China, 2G97 b. G. Originally
these notes were issued by the Treasury,
but experience dictated change to the
banks under Government inspection and
control. A writer in provincial paper
says that the early Chinese ''grccnbacks"
were in all essentials similar to the
modern bank notes, bearing the name of
the bank, date of issue, the number of
the note, the signature of the official
issuing it, indications of its value in
figures, in works and in the pictorial
representation in coins or heaps of coins
equal in amount to its face value, and a
notice of the pains and penalties of
countcrfeiting. Over and above all was
a laconic cXhortation of industry and
thrift: produce all YOU can; spend
with economy" The notes were printed
in blue ink on paper made from the fiber
of the mulberry tree. One issued in
1889 B. G. is still carefully preserved in
the Asiatic Museum mt st. Petersburg.

He was defended by Lawyer Cahill
Policeman Sherman was the prosecuting wit

in game Of crap on the day charged, which
was a week ago. He admitted that
he did not see 0'Brien in the
game, but he thought he was
guilty because he ran. The officer ackuowl-
edged that he fred one shot from his pistol to
brighten twelve-year-old colored boy, and
that he fell to the sidewalk as he fired.
The defense proved that O'Brien was inno-
cent Of the charge of crap playing and that the
officer fred two shots and fell down twice while
he was firing.
The policeman returned to the stand to deny
that he fell down twice but Judge Mills told
him that such denial was unnecessary. that TO
fell down at such q time might be Q part Of his
tactics.

advice about using his weapon in such q man.
