Delicate Work to Women.


Eighty-three cases Of money. charred
so as 10 cruinble at the touch, came
from the great Boston fire. One case
was found by six ladies 70 contain $50,
900. How they did it is described in
this manner by one Of them:
After unpacking the money from
the raw cotton in which it Travelled, as
zealously swathed as the most precious
jewelry, the ladies separated each small
piece with thin knives made for the
purpose; then laying the blsckened
fragments on sheets of blotting paper
they decided by close scrutiny the value,
genuineness and nature Of the note.
Magnifying glasses were provided, but
seldom used, except for the deciphering
of coupon numbers or other minute
details.
THE prices were then pasted on thin
paper. the bank notes returned TO their
respective banks. and the United States
money put in sealed envelopes and de
hvered TO a committee Of four, who
superintendent the final burning. The
amount of all the money from the cities
of Chicago and Boston identified was
81, 226, 341, or over 76 per cent. of the

His Mileage Wa. All Right.

A Milwaukee newspaper man was

ticket. Of course, like all first class
newspaper lnen, he had a mileage book.
This he produced and told the conduc-
tor to e a GU the fare to La Crosse.

FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
A PROPOSITION SUGGESTED TO
MEET THE CASE.
and at the Same Time Cure the Disease
Turn tho People Loose and Let
Them Take Care OF Themselves
ABILENE, Ten, Sept. 4, 1891.

| ABILENE, TEN, Sept. 4, 1891
| Editor Gazette.
! Scarcity Of money and stringency of the
| times This IS the complaint, but what is
| the remedy!
Without any reference to what has been
written and published BY others, | offer the
following propositions. which [ humbly
conceive would, if adopted, meet the case
and cure the disease:
/. The free and unlimited coinage of gold
| and silver That is to say. let the owners
OF gold or silver bullion go 10 d United
States mint and have il coined into legal
tender mouey. Let the gold be converted
Into $50, 80, 81. So and 81 pieces, and the
silver into dollars, halves, quarters. dimes
and half dimes. Let the said owner pay
for coming and take the balance for his own
use.
= Let 10 more gold and silver be boarded
in the treasury vaults and discontinue the
issuing of gold and silver certificates.
). Abolish, as soon IS may be legally, the
United States banks as baniis Of issue Re
quire them TO deposit in the United States
treasury enough Of the government bonds
in their hands TO secure the redemption OF
their outstanding bills, and let the govern
ment redeem the balance Of any in legal
tender treasury notes. Then turn these
banks over 10 the states in which they are
coated, so that they may be governed by
state law.
i. Let the United States pay its creditors,
such as public officers. soldiers, pensioners,
etc. in legal tender treasury notes green
backs.
). Reduce the tariff to revenue stand
ard AMI levy tax on incomes, so that the
rich may help 10 support the government as
well rs the poor.
NOW FOR THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS.
&. Let the state of Texas establish at the
city of Austin 4 state bank, using the per-
nianent school fund as its principal capitai
tinstcad of looming il TO railroads.. Make
this bank the custodian of all state funds.
Make the state treasurer president and the
comptroller vice-president: then let the
governor appoint three or more reliable
business men, who, with the president and
vice-preSident, may constitute the board of
directors. Let the bank issue 81 in bills
for every hard dollar in its vaults, and let
the faith OF the state be pledged for the re-
demption OF said bills and make them re-
reiVabie for al dues TO the state.
IL case an emergency should arise let
re governor be authorized and required 10
.ue and sell bonds sufficient to meet it.
1ieXas need not fear bonded debt of 81 OOO-
600 or s., O00, 900. Let bank interest in the
state be moderate and uniform. Letmoney
be loaned on personal security alone
{. Honesty certainly requires that those
who served the state in civil capacities dur
ing the war, should receive some compensa-
ton. Lett the state, therefore, assume
those warrants at q scaled rate (say one for
threat and issIa new warrants IN 90 intn

The Steam Engines of the World.

The number Of steam engines in the
world is an everehanging and rapidly in
creasing figure, keeping pace with the ex-
tension of the worlds trade. Mulhall gave
the horse power OF the worlds engines in
1910 as 2,356, 200; in 1850 as IL 400, co., and in
1880 as q. 924 600. According to the bureau
of statistics in Berlin the horse power Of
the worlds engines had in 1857 increased
to no less than 46, 00O, 900, and allowing for
even moderate increase since that time the
horse power cannot now be less than 81, co.,
600 says an English exchange. which fur
nishes the following statistics: France
owns 49, SOY stationary and locomotive boil
ers, 1000 locol.'Gtives and l, $50 ship boilers;
Germany has 50 900 boilers, 10000 locono-
tives and LOO ship boilers; Austria, u 600
boilers and 2,so0 locomotives. The force
equivalent to the working steam engines
represents in United States, :, 100000 horse
power: in Great Britain, 100000 horse
power; in Germany, 4,500, 900: III France,
5000, 600. and in Austria, 100000.
