Homely American Currency.

"The paper money of the United States
is the least handsome in the world" said
the proprietor of money exchange "That
is because this government depends en-
tirely upon the intricacy and elaborateness
of the designs on its notes and certificates
for protection against counterfeiters. In
foreign countries, on the other hand, much
effort is directed to making their currency
beautiful with pictures and arabesques N
the classical style. Not only are the re-
suits more pretty to look at, but they serve
their chief purpose better, for any practi-
cal engraver will tell you that real art
work on bill is far more difficult to i'm
itate than any purely mechanical effect,
no matter how complicated the latter may
be made by. the geometric lathe and other
devices. Washington Star.

TELE0RGPf7Io - UNION.
Operators Again Uniting to Resist the
Western Union.


NEW York, Aug. 23,--The CONNER.
cial telegraphists Of the United States
are engaged in forming a national broth
erhood. A committee call has Just been
issued for meeting of representatives
in Kansas City on Sept. 2 to form such
an organization. For some time cor
respondence has been going on in rela.
ton to the subject, and interest is being
manifested in all parts of the country.
O'Reilly, who took so active part in
the great telegraphers strike in 1898,
and who is now an assistant editor of
The Knights of Labor Journal is in the
city comforting with New York leaders
on the subject. He was seen by re.
porter and spoke warmly of the project,
He said that telegraphers had either to
organize or submit to the Western
Union, which, he alleges, has pursued
policy of reductions during the last six
years. He SAYS that the average salary
of telegraph operator is less than $50
per month, and that the amount neces.
sary to maintain a decent existence has
to be eked out by extra work, at the cost
Of health, comfort, independence and
even life.
A telegraph operator, he said, was a
highly skilled workman. Not only
must he know how to send message,
but he must be an encyclopedia of iu-
formation, so as to deal intelligently
with all subjects. No operator should
be required to work, O'Reilly thinks
more than eight hours day, and first
class operators should receive not less
than 500 per month. The operators
were organized to maintain their stand
ing as profession, not to threaten and
intimidate, but to educate. They real
lied that the only way to gain the re-
spect of the companies is to maintain a
solid organized front.
OReilly said that a meeting was held
in Philadelphia on Sunday, at which
delegates were elected to attend the con-
Vention at Kansas City, and that meet
ings were held on the same day to dis
cuss the subject and elect delegates in
New York, Boston, Jersey City, Pitts
burg, Baltimore, Richmond, Nashville,
New Orleans, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Chi
cago and other cities and towns. Local
unions have been formed in twenty
seven cities already, and after the con-
Vention six commissioned organizers
will be in the field The national asso-
citation will invite all these and make a
powerful organization. OReilly will
start for Kansas City at the end of the
week to attend and take active part in
the national convention. Asecret meet
ing Of the New York operators will be
held on Friday night.

The Situation IN Homestead Remain
Unchanged

HOMESTEAD. Pa, Aug 23.-The Home.
stead wage contest developes little new
this morning,
The advisory committee reports that
the fight from the strikers side is pro.
crossing finely. The men are firm, and
the company has abandoned hope of any
break among its old employees. while
the proselyting among the workers in
the mills is proving very effective, SO
that break or wholesale desertions are
looked for at any time,
All discomfort among merchants over
the prolonging of the contest has appar
emily disappeared, and the majority are
pledging themselves to remain with the
men to the finish, and reiterate the state
ments of several made at last Saturdays
meeting, that the fight of the locked.out
men is their fight also.
Homestead daily seems to become
more deserted as the men move away
and secure work elsewhere, pending 8
settlement of the struggle. As result
the relief committee are finding Their
work much easier. Acting Chairman
Crawford said that the enthusiasm showr
at the Saturday meeting is SO far gair
that he would like to have them held
more frequently. They bring the mer
together and dispel any apathy in the
conduct of the campaign.
The soldiers here are looking forward
to the first of September, when they ex
pect to be relieved. By that time they
will have been in continuous servic,
longer than at any time during the his

A BOYCOTT DENIED.
Homestead LabOrites Claim Butcher

ii homestead Laborites Claim Butcher
Dorr was Not Notified.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 24.--There is
much expressed Indignation among
members of the advisory committee over
the charge that it boycotted Butcher
Adolph Dorr, and has begun TO perse-
cute the wives of Homesteaders who are
working in the mill. Acting Chairman
Crawford said: 1--WE would be fools to
render ourselves liable to suits for con-
spiracy by such action as the alleged
boycott, and beside it is untrue. No
member of the committee ever waited
upon Dorr. Nor do we persecute women.
l can truthfully say that we'know of no
committee calling upon the butcher to
warn him not to sell to certain parties.
We can stand facts, but the story has
been sent out designedly to injure us.
II also, for the board, desire to state
in reply to Superintendent Potter's state
ment that many persons cannot get back
in the mill, that many of us will not re-
turn as long as he is manager"
1t is reported that number of the
non-union men are forming a military
company and that they will ask for a
charter. This action is the result of an
apprehension which exists among the
men that violence will be offered them
by the strikers and l93ked-out men when
the militia leave finally.
There is little change in the situation
from the standpoint of the locked-out
men. They are waiting with character
istic firmnesS and confidence. For over
a week not one has made application for
work or even hinted his desire to return
under present conditions.

Tennessee Coal and Iron Company vii
Insist on surrendering Its Lease,

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Colonel A. S
Colyar, who is general counsel for the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company, wa,
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday
He said, regarding the convict labor
troubles in Tennessee:
THE Tennessee Coal and Iron com
pany will renew it's offer to surrender it,
lease, and will probably insist that it,
offer be accepted, and the Legislature
will then have to determine whether il
shall again endanger the financial repu
tation of the state by undertaking peni
tentiary enterprises which will entirely
remove convict labor from the contrac
system. or whether it shall endanger til:
reputation Of the state as an orderly anC
peaceable community and ALLEVIATE tht
anti-convict voters by looking about FOL
another company that is willing to pay
the state for the labor of the convicts
One thing is certain, that when the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company ones
gives up its lease it will never again EN-
Oloy convict labor.

Dallas at the Heels of Roberto at Hart
ford--Apother Record Rroken.


HARTFORD, Aug. 24-Nearly $500
people saw the Grand Circuit races at
Charter Oak park yesterday, a most en-
souraging attendance for the first day.
The weather was pleasant, the track in
splendid condition and the racing was
interesting. All three of the races were
won by the favorites @. ]. Hamlin
captured two of them. His Nightingale
won the 2.19 trotting race and his Rob
ert won the free-for-all pace. The
third race, the 2.25 trot, was won by
Darlington, after that horse had been
knocked out of the first heat by an acci-
dent
Darlington broke at the first quarter
in the first heat. Guy Miller, the driver,
tried to get out of the way of Josie
| Sheridan, but in some way they got to-
gether, and Josies foot struck the wheel
of Darlington's sullSy. The wheel was
wrenched off. Miller was pitched out
and the horse was thrown down.
Vandelburg, who was driving Josie
Sheridan, had to bring her to a stand
still. Only Rose Fillxins and Shipman
| finished the heat. Clay Forest was
taken from the track before the heat was
started on account of his bad behavior
in scoring. AS the accident seemed due
to no ones carelessness and bad intent,
both horses were permitted by the
| judges to start in the next heat.
Grants Abdallah lowered the tracks
record by taking the third heat of the
pacing race in eli. The best previous
performance on the Charter Oak track
was by Little Brown jug, about ten
years ago, when the mile was done in
ala. Many of the finishes were close
and exciting, and there was an apparent
effort on the part of all the drivers to
win if possible. The summaries:

RncIarIa I'm Ice.

A good many of the bacteria which are
found in all natural surface waters are
expelled or killed when the water freezes,
but as many as 10 per cent, and often
more, may remain alive. A large num-
Der of studies on this subject have shown
that the bubbly and snowy ice is apt to
contain many more bacteria than the clear
Ice does. These bacteria in ice have as a
rule no influence whatsoever upon the
health Of the ice consumer if the ice has
been formed on bodies Of water which are
clear and pure But ice which is formed
on sewage polluted or otherwise filthy
water may contain disease producing bac,
terra, and hence be very dangerous for do,

A Mammoth skeleton.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Aug. 24.-While a
number of workmen were getting tim
Der on the Kaw Indian reservation north
of here they unearthed the bones of a
mammoth animal. A tusk was found
that was five feet in length and the larg-
est end was over three feet in circumfer-
ence. The bone from the knee to the
hip joint was over five feet in length,
and in the center was twenty-five inches
in circumference. Across the launches
the bones were over five feet and the
ribs over four feet in length. The skele-
ton will probably be exhibited at the
Worlds fair.

COLUMBUS FACE.
Design for the Fair Coins to Be Made

Design for the Fair Coins to Be Made
from the Best Picture Extant. .
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 24.-The mint
authorities have been greatly inconven-
fenced in preparing the design for the
Columbian exposition souvenir coins,
owing to their inability to secure rep
Tesentative picture Of Columbus. 1t was
the original intention to work from a
painting by Soto, but, owing to the
characteristics of the face, which were
not in keeping with the generally ac-
cepted appearance of the man, more
perfect portrait was sought. The matter
was referred to the mint bureau at
Washington, and an etching by Focilion
was forwarded, from which the model
will be made. The portrait has been
copied from the original painting In
possession of DIR. De Orchi, of Como. II
was previously the property Of Paolo
Giovio at Como and remained in his
collection for several centuries, going
thence by bequest to DR.. De Orch! This
Columbus portrait was always reputed
TO be true original and it hung on the
walls of Giovios home during the life
time of Columbus and while the two
were intimate friends. 1t has been at
various times attributed to Sebastian
Luccians, to Antonio Ransom and TO Lo-
renzo Lotto, but it is now absolutely es.
tablished to be the work of Bartholo-
NEW Suardo. Both the French and
American writers have expressed the
belief that this is the only authentic
portrait.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 24.-The river coal
operators have agreed to reduce the
price of mining from 81 to cents. The
meeting of the Coal exchange yesterday
brought out a large attendance, and
with but several exceptions the operat-

reduction of the miners. Those in the
minority will abide by the decision and
also request the lowering of the rate.
The chances for a strike among the

mines in this district over the cut, which
will be inaugurated Sept. /, are about
equal Many of the operators expect
their men to go out, others say that the
