There is one unpopular coin issued by
Uncle Sam. 1t is the half dollar, and it
has a tendency to work its way back
into the treasury vaults, where it isn't
wanted. AS money nobody objects to
the half, but thep popular fancy is for the
same value in another form. That is,
the average citizen prefers to have two
quarters. They are a trife more con
venient. If he wants to pay out half n
dollar he can use the half or the two
quarters with equal convenience, but if
twenty-five cents is to be paid out the
quarter is far the handler coin
This may not seem to be a very i'm
portant matter, but it counts in the long
run. Little by little the halves find
their way back to the government vaults,
and there they stay, like poor relations,
In fact, so far as coming home in dis
grace goes, the half dollar is the prodigal
son of the minis.
A very large proportion of the $20,000,-
300 of fractional silver IN hand at Wash
ington is made up of halves. This is the
lot which Secretary Foster was so INK
lous to get rid of, and about which he
.alked with the New York bankers when
he made his visit here. Nobody hen
manifested any wild desire to take the
secretary's load off his shoulders.
1t is probable that a good many of the
halves stored up in Washington will be
recoined into quarters and dimes. In
that way they will be more convenient
for popular use.
OF course lots of halves are used, and
will continue to be used. Their coinage
will be kept up, and nobody will have
any more difficulty in getting them than
usual. But the proportion of other coins
will be increased because the people like
them better.
The New York subtreasury has its
share of halves on hand, and the other
day it tried to work off some of them.
1t was a day when pension checks were
being paid, and nearly every one was
cashed partly in halves. Before the
close of the day a good many of the
halves were back in the subtreasury.
And they are there yet.-New York

The Lowell Funeral.

BosToN, Aug. l4.-Funeral services
were held over the body of james Russell
Lowell today. The spot selected for the
poets grave, it is understood, was of his
own choosing. The lot is in a valley in
the rear of the cemetery and directly in
the shadow of the Longfellow lot, where
rests the remains of Americas famous
bard. An immense crowd was gathered
in the cemetery. Bishop Beach pro-
nounced the last prayer, which completed
the Episcopal burial service, for, although
DR.. Lowell was a Unitarian, it was his
wish hat the funeral services should be
from the Episcopal service book. Among
those in attendance we're five of the sur
vivors of the class of '3S OF Harvard, of
which DR.. Lowell was a member. The
order of the Loyal Legion, of which DR..
Lowell was a member. was also repre-.
sented. Among other notable people
present were Miss Ellen T. Emerson,
daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and
r. B. Anderson of Madison, Wis.

NASHVILLE, Aug. l4.-Mrs. Polk died
in this city today. She was born Sept.
4, 1903, at Murfreesborough. She mar
ried Mr.. Polk when still in her teens,
and has lived continuously in Nashville
except when in Washington during the
congressional career OF her distinguished
husband, and while mistress of the
white house. For the past fifty years
she has lived in seclusioo. President
Polk left a very large estate at the time
Of his death, but in the civil war nearly
everything was destroyed or lost. Mrs.
Folks income kept dwlndling down until
a half dozen years ago. when she found
herself well nigh penniless. When the
bill was introduced in congress to grant
the widow of President Lincoln a pension
of IS, 900 a year. it lacked one vote in the
senate to secure its passage. That was
the vote of Senator Jackson OF Tennessee.
He offered to vote for the bill providing
it was so amended rs to give annual pen
sions of s. 900 to Mrs. Polk and the
widow of President Tyler as well as Mrs.
Lincoln, and the bill became a law. Since
that time Mrs. Polk has lived on this
pension. One of the physicians who was
constantly at Mrs. Folks bedside from
the time she became i'll, when called on
this morning by a reporter, spoke in an
affecting manner of the death-bed scene.
He said he had never known a grauder
character thar that of Mrs. Polk. A
large number of kilograms of coincidence
were received from prominent people in
all parts OF the country, and the flag on
the state capitol was placed at halt mast.
The funeral will occur Sunday morning,
the remains being placed in the vault
alongside those OF her distinguished hus-
band.

SAN Francisco, CAL, Aug. 1.-THE
recent case of skin grating in this CITY,
where a Door woman sold a large patch of
her cuticle for 800, excited much inter
est. 1t was declared then that the in
jured man could not have furnished the
person, but a case has Just been success
fully treated in Ukiah, Mendocino county,
in which two dozen square inches of skin
were taken from one leg OF a man and
transferred to the other. A. .. Carpen-
ter of Ukiah was riding on a stage coach
when it was upset on a bridge, and his
left leg was ground between the tOU of the
coach and the railing OF the bridge. From
the knee to the toes the skin was stripped
off and the flesh lacerated. Three weeks
after the skin grating was begun. The
wound was carefully sponged and bits of
skin applied and covered with wet cloths.
After twenty four hours those pieces which
showed slightly blue or ''cobwebby" ad
hered, while others would drop off. The
pieces applied we're obtained by raising
the skin upon the other leg with small
nippers and passing a small knife under
them. Just deep enough to start the blood.
More than sixty pieces were applied, the
majority adhering. Day by day they
stretched out until, meeting each other, they
soon separated the wound into three parts,
and finally covered 1t altogether in two
months. No medicine was used, only
water. In talking of his cure, Carpen:
ter said:
$50 far as pain was concerned, there
was very little. There was no consulta.
ton of physicians. and the whole opera
ton was performed, without assistance,
by a dental surgeon who had taken a
medical course in a st. Louis college. /
don't see what occasion there was for
making so much fuss about that recent
case in San Francisco, and | don't see why
the young man could not have had the
skin taken from his other leg. lust as it
was from mine, without having to pay a
woman for a section of her cuticle."

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Aug. l4.-Ella
Drucker is the daughter of the late
Constable Louis Drucker. for whose
murder in New Canaan, three years ago,
Jacob Scheel was hanged in this city last
June. She is good. looking and popular,
and is employed in a corset factory. She
and a party of friends went to Seaside
park yesterday to have a plunge in the surf.
Around the pavilion is usually a crowd of
young men who take pleasure in teasing
the girls who battle, and the park authori-
ties seem to have no control over them.
One of these fellows, it Is said by eve
witnesses, began to chase Miss Drucker
as soon as she entered the water. After
splashinR her for n time, he, needless of
her remonstrances, caught her by the
shoulders and forced her head under the
water. As she came up, struggling, he
repeated the operation. The water is not
deep, but the gIrl, when she r%eappeared
above the surface was purple in the face.
This alarmed her %tormentor, who dis
appeared. The girl staggered in a dazed
fashion until some Of the other girls in the
party went to her assistance and led her
ashore. By that time the nervous shock
had been succeeded bv commissions, which
followed one after the other. Every
remedy wa applied that the girls could
think of. but 1t looked as though the girl
would die. Her meanings were pitiful.
DIR. Osborn was bathing near by and he
was sent for without further delay. After
examining the girl he sent for the city
ambulance. 10 this. followed BY her ter
ror stricken friends, she was taken to her
home. Despite all that medical skill
could do she renamed in a comatose con-
dition for over two hours. Then she
opened her eyes long enough to recognize
one or two of those by her bed. and then
became somewhat delirious. seeming to be
in fear of some terrible fate. In a short
time she relapsed into inconsistencies,
and sank SO rapidly that her life is de-
SPARED of. The doctor is with her, but
he has no hope Of her recovery.

the appearance of these fayorite stocks,

Union Pacific was less prominent 10 the

that its prominence for the time being

COLUMBUS, s. c., Aug. l4.-Extraor-
binary interest is being manifested
throughout this state in the case of David
Jacobs and Mary johnson, both white. of
Chesterfield county, who are sentenced to
be hanged for the murder of
VIM. johnson, the husband of Mary.
The convicted couple were formerly well
thought of in Chesterfield and great
pressure is being brought to bear upon
Gov. Tillman to commute their sentence
to life imprisonment. Briefly stated, the
testimony proved hat Mary johnson,
who was infatuated with David Jacobs,
poisoned her husband, the poison being
furnished by Jacobs. They have con-
stantly denied the crime. and there Is a
story on good authority that the convicted
pair were led to u mock execution and
even then maintained their innocence.
Their spiritual adviser. Rev. Mr.. YOnge,
IS so firmly convinced of their innocence
that he has taken an active part in Sc
curing signatures to the petitions for ex-
ecutive clemency. On the other hand
both the judge and the states solicitor
recommend that the law be allowed to
take It's course. The solicitor, in his re-
port TO the governor, gives the following
interesting particulars of the case.
The jury stood ten for conviction and
two against at a mistrial. The Jury con-
victed both defendants at the last trial.
1t was a foul and most deliberate murder
by the most d~espicable means-poison ad-
ministered purposely in the shape of quiz
nine as medicine. Strychnine was found
in Jacobs possession. He first denied
having it at the inquest, but afterward at
the inquest said 1t was to kill crows. He
made a bad showing on the stand. There
is not a mitigating circumstance for
Jacobs. When the spasms commenced
Mary johnson blew a horn and Jacobs
appeared on the scene and she and he sat
near BY the dying man, and both advised
against sending for a doctor and
both objected to an inquest and
post-mortem. They endeavored to
have a hasty interment. They we're indie
Gently familiar with each other. The
night of the death they whispered to each
other. The afternoon before the fatal
dose was given Jacobs sat up unusually
late and apparently waited Tor the horn to
blow. 1t was a horrible case. Jacobs
was really a principal, as he was present
at the death and advised against sending
for a doctor, and would not evidently re-
lieye the sufferer if he could, and sat there
g~loatIng over the death as if chief finger
smith in the job.
1t is expected that the governor will an
nonnce his decision in the case tomorrow.

member of the executive committee di-
rectory in place of Z. l.. Ames. 1t is re-

chairman of the finance committee. He
has been prominent in the present Union
Pacific situation, represents large interests
in Rock Island, and the fact that he has
come to the front in Union Pacific is re-
garded as an indication that the Burling-
