HE HAD SHOT THE QUEEN.
A Diplomatic Experience in the Career
of Judge" Riley.

Diplomatic Experience in the Career
of Judge" Riley.
From the Netr York Commercial advertiser,
Every story sent out from Washington
about the Judges" and the "majors" who
hang about the hotels has had for a subject
Judge" w. g. Riley OF Virginia, whom
Mr.. Blaine has just appointed consul at
Puerto Cabello. Venezuela. Judge" Riley
has long been one of the most picturesque
characters around the Washington hotels.
He is a somewhat MISUNDERSTANDING old
fellow, who has a grand wav Of talking.
and he can tell story which is sure to earn
the drinks from any man who mas not heard
him too often. He is man of education,
and "a gentleman. bgad, SIR" About his
only active occupation is to make a few
speeches In Virginia when a campaign
opens. Nobody, however, has ything but
good will for the old Judge" Heas great
ronancer, Of course. but he is immensely
entertaining when in good spirits, and has
furnished many good paragraph for the
press.
Judge" Riley's experience in the consul
lar service was derived from a term at a
savage consulate on the east coast of Africa,
TO which he was appointed by President
Grant. 1t was he opiniol that he would
never return, and all the colonies and
majors bade him an affectionate farewell
But neither the fever nor the savages could
get the best of the Judge and in course
of time he returned to his accustomed
haunts.
While the Judge" was on the east coast
of Africa he al most brought on a war be-
tween this country and the one to which he
was accredited. The house of the co sui.
where Judge" Riley lived with his wife.
was on the beach and had wide stretch of
sand in front. Every morning the entire
village marched down to the seas margin
and made their toilets. The Judge" did
not like the idea Of lot of naked savapes
squatting in front of his house: he did not
think it became e dignity of representa-
tive of the United States He protested.
but it awaited nothi g; the savages in
sisted on making their tot cts right
IN front of the Judges" house.
Finally he was provoked beyond en-
durance. Loading a gun with fine bird
shot he lay in wait. One morning there
was loud report, and number of naked
citizens were seen running in many direc-
lions with great cries of distress Later in
the day delegation of the great men of
the place, headed by the prime minister,
waited on the Judge" to notify him that
he could go home. The Judge" protested
that this was a summary procedure, that
his government would resent it, and he
made long and eloquent defense Of his ac-
ton; but the delegation would not h,ten to
him. Finally "Judg e" Riley said he would
appeal to the queen; he was sure she would
protect him from this indignity The prime
minister looked solemn and shook his head.
1T is the queen you have shot," he said.

Mormon Tithing Scrip.

Ifyou 60 into the principal Office O.
the tithing-house says Salt Lake
City letter in the st. Louis GIobe-Denao
crat, you will see a tall, young mar
handling what looks like money. He
is behind a counter and the counter is
protected by high railing. The man
glances through the window, then looks
down at the bills, and goes on thumb
ing them like bank teller. He goes
to and from big safe, carrying bum
dies done up just as bills are, with lit
tie bands of brown paper pinned about
them. Sometimes the young man
doesn't stop to count, but takes the
amount on the brown slip as correct
and passes out the money. This is
Mormon money. 1t is the tithing
scrip. 1t is used to facilitate the hand
ling of the grain, and hay, and live
stock, and produce which come in. If
you pick up one of these bills you will
appearance. In one upper corner is
the number of the bill. In the lower
left-hand corner is the in hoe signo of
Mormonism, a beehive.
The face of the bill reads: Gen
eral tithing Storehouse. Good only
for merchandise aud produce at
the general tithing storehouse, Salt
Lake city, Utah" Each note bears
the signature of the presiding bishop.
On the back is the denomination again
and vignette of the new temple at
Salt Lake City. The back also bears
the wording: This note is not cur
rent except in the merchandise and
produce departments of the general
tithing storehouse.'' The engraving is
we'll executed and the printing is well
done. The bills vary in color There
are greenbacks for one department of
The tithing house, brownbacks for an
other, and so on BY using this scrip
the church is able to create a market
for considerable quantities of the tith-
ing. The scrip is given out in dis
pensing charity. 1t is used for paving
for work on the temple so far as the
workmen can make use Of it. En-
ployes of the tithing house receive their
salaries of allowance partly in scrip.
In numerous ways the Mormon money
gets into circulation.
