THE claim set up for Philadelphia
that the first ice cream was manu-
featured in that city is absurd. Ice
cream was eaten at the installation
of Charles III. at Windsor in 1867.
The King had the first ice-house built
in England. DANES Darlington, an
antiquarian, notes the fact in tract
published by the Society Of Antigua
RIGS of London in 1885.

What is q Good Dollar?

This is what it is. 1t is a green
back dollar and, therefore, an "hon-
est dollar" Who says so! The
Hon. James G. Blaine says SO, and
he is not crank-a crazy Alliance
man-but recognized, unimpeach-
able Republican. Good authority,
isn't it? As good as Mckinley or
any other man. Well, then, this is
Just what he said, "once upon a
time" in a speech made in Skowhe-
Gan, in Maine, in 1861. Holding
up greenback dollar to the au-
dience, he asked
What is this? A dollar; good
for the farmer, the mechanic, the
merchant, the sailor, everybody.
What makes it good dollar? Be-
cause every dollars worth of prop
erty in the United States is behind
it, and that makes it a good dollar.
Pass it around. 1t was good yes
terday. 1t is to-day, and it will be
tomorrow.
1t sounds just like Mr.. Blaine in
those days. Let him stand by it
with all that the name implies. If
he will do it it will make his already
brilliant name still mole famous
than it now is.-National View.

tween Great Britain aud the United States

blue book opens with a telegram from Lord
Salisbury to Sir Julian Pauncefote. British
minister at Washington. dated April II, ex-
pressing approval of Secretary Blaine's sug-
gestion that there be a complete cessation of
seal catching pending the award of the pro-
posed board of arbitration. Then follow

a statement, seriously executed, would bring

The ~ Per Cents.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 4-The secre-
tary of the treasury has issued circular no
tifying the holders of outstanding ~ per
cent bonds that the existing rate of interest
on these bonds will cease on September 1,
next, and that such bonds as are not redeemed
on or before that date may be extended for an
indeinete period with interest at 2 per cent.
1t is estimated that So, 600, 600 of these bonds
are held by national banks to secure circula-
zion, and that SIC, 000, 900 are held in trust
by banks and other institutions, and that
there will be no difficulty in extending this
amount at the lower rate of interest. This
will leave only SIS zoo. 900 bonds to be re-
deemed in case the holders are not prepared
to extend them.
1t is officially stated that the treasury de-
partment ID abundantly able to pay all of
the $5l, 0O0. 900 of ~ per cent outstanding
bonds, but in view OF the uncertainty of
future receipts and expenditures, it is deemed
better to take the side of safety. The secre-
tary not only believes that he has ample
means to defray all expenses of government,
but is confident that he will be able to retire
q considerable amount of the public debt in
addition to the 1926, 0OO, 900 already raid
during the present administration. One of
the purposes in suggesting an opportunity
to extend the maturing loan at nominal
rate of interest is desire to avoid the en-
forced retirement of part or all of 81, 000,-
600 national bank circulation, now secured
by ~ per cent bonds.

Robbed by "A Hfghwayman.

MARSHALL, No., June 4.-There has been
another bold highway robbery in this county,
near Walnut Grove. Rev. C. H. Whitehead
and L. NJ. Morrow, of this city, were on
their way to Walnut Grove. where the former
had an appointment to preach. They were
IN buggy and had just crossed Camp Greek,
twelve miles east of this city, when man
sprang out from the brush and commanded
halt, at the same time pointing a large
navy revolver at their heads. He then re-
quested the men to hand over their pocket
books, which was done in short order.
The robber then demanded Of the gentle
men their watches, but upon finding them to
be silver did not take them. He then stepped
aside in the road and ordered them to drive
on, keeping his pistol levelled at them until
they were out of range. The highwayman
is a slender man of medium height and about
IS years of age. The description corresponds
very closely with that of the robber who held
up young man south of this city, on Black
water, week ago.

Reindeer for Alaska

NEW YoRK. June 9.-Nearly $1,000 has
been raised through the Mail and Express to
the aid of DR.. Sheldon Jackson's project for
introducing the reindeer into starving Alaska.
The advent of these animals will mean very
much to the poor Alaskans IN transportation,
education and the development of industries.
In q few days DR.. jackson will sail on the
United States marine steamer Bear, from
Seattle, Wash, taking with him a large
quantity of goods with which to barter with
the Siberlans for reindeer. 1t is expected
that the average cost of each deer will be
about $40. The government has requested
Captain c. A. Curtis, of Madison, Wis, to
90 to st. Lawrence, in the Behring sea, to
take charge of station about to be estab-
lished there.
The navy department desires to have q
station on this island and to begin the breed.
ing of the reindeer for the Inuits ana Esoui-
maux to use instead of dogs.
1t is proposed to import the reindeer from
Siberia to the Island and to employ party
of Slberians to teach the natives how to raise
and care for the animals. A reindeer park
will be established and as soon as the animals
have been obtained in sufficient numbers,
some of them will be taken to Alaska and dis
tributed cmong the people of that country,
displacing the dogs in use for sedging in the
United States Arctic possessions.
