The St. Paul railroad men had an
experience at West Madison on the
18th inst. that they will remember
for some time. J. G. ID. Chase, of
Darlington, had become violently
insane and was being taken to the
state hospital at Mendoza by four
sturdy officers. The man was man
acled hand aud foot and was tied in
a chair by ropes passing around his
body and legs. A leather muzzl e
covered his mouth thus protecting
the officers from the savage bites of
the demented man. 1t took ten men
TO hold Chase during his violent
spells, notwithstanding his letters.
For A few minutes he would be
quiet and it appeared cruel to keep
him bound and muzzled. But with
a maniac's yell be would spring to
his feet and strike out with his arms.
swapping like mad dog aud
struggling to free himself. lie was
taken from the Rockford passenger
train and placed in carriage for the
state hospital.
Strange as it may seem the
authorities on mental troubles say
that there is more hope for the re.
coyery Of such a patient than of
one who is quieter and more morose.
Chase owns grocery store at
Darlington and has good business
The cause Of his mania is unknown.

The Coins OF England.

From the Age of Steel.
When England was being made in =
to mince-meat and blocks of real es-
tate by the SaxOns and Danes, oliver
aud brass were in uss'as currency, but
the Normans subsequently, installed
the aristocrstic metal and left the
democratic brass to take care of
itself. Gold was first coined by Henry
III. and copper made into British
coin in 1872. Tin was used for coin
age in 1850, and the national farthing
was made of this Cam brian product,
with a stud of copper set in the cen.
ter. In 1890 and 1901 tin half pence
we're issued in considerable quanti-
ties. The only pure gold coins issued
in English history were those of Hen
ry III.
In the reign of EdwardI. the pound
In tale of silver coins was equeal 10
the pound In weight of standard
silver. The pound in tale was divid-
ed into 20 shillings, the shillings into
II pence, and each penny piece weigh
ed a pennyweight, or "a grains. Before
the mimage of gold coins in England
the byZant,, valued at 10 shillings,
was imported from Constantinople,
and fiorences of the same value from
Florence. Edward III. subsequently
minted the noble, Edward w. the
trial, Henry VII. the double rial,
James /. the laurel, and Charles II.
| revived the old laurel coin under the
name of the guinea. This guinea in
the reign of Queen Anne, originally
issued as twenty shilling
piece, rose in value to 30 shillings
and was acrobatic in values till Sir
Isaac Newton secured authority or.
deriDg the guinea to pass for 20 shill.
ings sterling. The present English
sovereign was issued in 1917, and
weighed twenty tvsnty-first parts OF
q guiuea. The present standard OF
fineness for silver coin is ii ounces
or 2 pennyweight silver and Is pen
nyweight alloy.
Bronze coins were introduced In
1860, replacing the old copper coins
first legslized by the fiat of Charles
H., and afterward made by James III
from old guns, copper vessels, pewter
pots, and q general assemblage o
comparatively worthless metal.

Superstition About Storms

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Caverns were supposed by the Ro-
mans to be a secure place of refuge
during thunder storms, and they be
lieved that lightning never penetra-
| ted more than two yards in the earth.
Acting on this superstition, the En-
peror Augustus used to withdraw
into some deep vault OF the palace
whenever a tempest was feared, and
and it lie recorded by Seutonius that
he always wore a skin of seal around
his body as a protection against light.
ming That both precautions were
equally uuavailing needs scarcely to
be mentioned.
Lighting has been known to strike
10 feet into the earth; but not even
the marvellous accuracy of modern
science can determine at what dis
tance from The surface q safe retreat
may be found from the descending
fluid; and even were this ascertained,
the dangers from ascending electric
currents remain the same. With re.
gard to seal skins, we find that the
Romans attached so much faith in
them as nOn-cOnductOrs that tents
were made of them, beneath which
the timid used TO take refuge.
1t is a curious fact that In the
neig b borhood of Mount Cevennes, in
the Languedoc. where anciently
some Roman colonies were known TO
have existed, the shepherds cherish
a similar superstition respecting the
skins OF serpents. These they care
fully collect, and, having covered
their hats withal, believe themselves
secure againstthe danger of the storm
M. Labossiere is disposed to see q LINK
Of interesting analogy between the
legend which yet fingers In the mind
of the peas SAINT of Cevennes, and the
| more costly superstition held in
reverence by his Latin ancestors.
The emperors of Japan retire into
| deep grotto during the tempests
which rage in such severity in their
latitude; but, not satisfied with the
Profundity OF the excavation, or the
strength of the stones of which IL is
built, they complete their precautions
by having a reservoir of water sunk
IN their retreat. The water is intend
ed to extinguish the llghtnlng-a
measure equally futile, since many

which the fluid has fallen upon the
water with the same destructive
| effect as upon land.

Ives, travelling manager of Thiels detec-

Gardiner, where he went to see Albertson,
the defaulting Tacoma bank cashier, who
is still there in care of a physician. Al
bertson is getting along nicely. Ives re-
ported and said further that he could be
moved even now were there better facili-
ties for reaching the train. The stage ride
necessary to be taken in order to reach the
Southern Pacific line at Drain, is one OF
the toughest in the country, and as it is
feared that Albertson would not be able to
stand it, he will be kept at Gardiner about
one week longer.
Ives claims that they have recovered
about all the money Albertson took with
him on leaving Tacoma. The exact
amount found in the tin box that Albert
son and Chandler had with them when
captured was $40, $3.50 Albertson is said
to have an itemized account of all the

bank in Tacoma the first day he went to

MINISTER EGAN HARRAssBD.
The Junta Is Probably Trying to Have
Him Recalled.

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. 27.-News of
serious import to the United States gov
ernment and Americans generally reaches
here today from Santiago 1t is to the
effect that the leaders of the junta,
for what reason does not yet clearly
appear, have for the last few days adopted
course which has had the result of
harrassing Minister Egan 1t may be the
expression of sentiment growing out of the
ltata seizure, which has never been rightly
understood by congressionalists. but has
aroused strong feeling of antipathy to
the United States, or it may be the deter
mination to make it so unpleasant
for Minister Egan, on account of
the stories spread about his SYM
pathy with Balmaceda, as to
drive the minister out of Chile. These are
only surmises. The fact is the junta has
been trying to induce Egan to give up all
of those who have sought refuge in the
United States legation. The junta has
gone even further than this. 1t has put
forth the claim that it has the right to arrest
any one, no matter of what nationality,
who may be found on the street or any
where else outside of the four walls of the
legation. In keeping with this claim
number of foreigners have already been
placed under arrest. Among them are three
Americans who were In business here. The
matter went so far tnat every person hav-
ing occasion to visit the legation was or
dered to obtain a permit from the inten-
dente before be was allowed to go into the
place To enforce this rule forces
of police were pnt on guard
outside the legation and patrolled the
block day and night until Friday last,
when Minister Egan entered a most vigor-
ous protest to the whole proceedings. His
manner was so earnest that the police
were withdrawn. 1t is said he has re-
ferred the entire matter to the authorities
at Washington City.

union of the two countries, [Cries of "Vive le

has joined the czar in extending friendship to
France. You know how well these sentiments
are reciprocated. The incident at Croustadt had
found an echo in the smallest of our hamlets as
much as in our governmental spheres Our
hearts have been touched by the sentiments of
friendship extended to French sailors. Wher-
ever they went they found France respected, as
was seen in the demonstration in their honor in
Denmark, and finally in Portsmouth, where
queen Victoria received them in person and ac-
corded them an imposing and courteous well

the whole world that will not be efiaced. France
has felt that she is becoming herself in re-enter-
