Quite a Remarkable wedding.

A wedding which was recently solemnized
at Feltham, England, attracted widespread
attention from the fact that the bridegroom
was 7S years OF age; the bride, who for 30
years had been Kitchen maid at Windsor
Castle, was 70; the best man, brother Of
the bridegroom, was Is; the maid of honor
was on the shady side of SO and the clergy
man. who tied the knot was an octogenarian,
The wedding was gay one, but owing to
the scruples of. the aged clergyman dancing
was dispensed with.

Sea arbitration in Paris Upon that tri-
bunal, which will sit probably next month
will be centered the close attention of all
Europe and America, and indeed of the
whole world
The stakes are we'll worth the game. Not
alone is the control of the Bering Sea in
volyed-a sea larger than the Mediterra-
nean-with its precious fur-seal fisheries,
the most valuable in existence, but above
all the incalculable prestige which success
will secure for the diplomacy OF the party
that wins. The contest for this stake will
be a battle of the giants. Profound jurists,
among the foremost in this country and in
England, will be pitted against each other
before the august tribunal, which will itself
be composed of some of the ablest publicists
living.
Each Side Sparing No Pains.
The most elaborate preparations have
been made for the meeting, and in anticipa-
tion OF it the activity at the State Depart
ment here and at the British Foreign Office
in London for months back has been un-
precedented The archives and records of
two continents have been ransacked for
data, official eouriers have piled unremit-
tingly between Washington and Alaska and
between Ottawa and London, and every OBJ
tainable tact and argument bearing on
either side of the great dispute has been
carefully collected. The joint labors of the
legal counsel, special Treasury agents, seal
experts and advisory diplomats have been
incessant and tireless, and the preliminary
work of the arbitration on both sides Is now
rapidly nearing completion.
The Paris Tribunal will consist of seven
arbitrators, all selected by maritime pow
ers. Two, appointed by President Harri-
son, will represent the United States; two,
appointed by Her Britannia Majesty,
will represent Great Britain; one, chosen
bv President Carnot at the mutual request
Of the United States and Great Britain, will
represent the republic of France: one
chosen likewise by King Humbert, will
represent the kingdom of Italy; and one,
chosen by King Oscar IL, will represent
the combined realms of Sweden and Nor
wsy.

The arbitrators for the United States are

The 5000, 900 souvenir half-dollars, now
being minted in Philadelphia by order of
Congress, will be shipped to Chicago in lots
to suit as soon as the managers of the
Worlds Fair have complied with the law,
which requires that they shall first submit
vouchers showing that they have collected
and disbursed for the Exposition SO, 000,-
900. The coins are being advertised all
over the country for sale at 81 each. Their
purchase is urged as q good investment on
the ground that they may be expected to be
worth a much higher price some day as
curiosities.s As an argument it is stated
that the United States gold half-eagle of
1922 has q value to-day Of 5000, while the
silver dollar of 1904 will fetch an equal
amount The silver half-dollar of 1896 is
quoted at $52 80, the silver 5-cent piece of
1912 at 500, the ''eagle penny" Of 1856 at

for example, the Prussian King Williams
coronation piece in 1856, the German peace

The quantity of silver required to make
the 5000, 900 souvenir half-dollars was Just
about 100 tons The metal was brought to
the Philadelphia Mint from the mines,
through the United States assay offices, in
the shape OF big bricks The bricks were
dissolved by nitric acid in a large tank
When precipitsted from the acid the
precious substance appears in fine powder,
looking SO much like ordinary plaster of
paris that the casual observer would not
imagine it to be any more valuable. This
powdery stuff is pressed into thick round
blocks, in which form it goes to another
room, where alchemists at So so day melt
the blocks in crucibles Of black lead half
buried in glowing Goals.
The Process at the Mint.
Incidentally to melting the pure silver 10
per cent of copper is mixed with 1t. Silver
is soft metal, and the copper makes the
coins hard, so that they will Withstand
abrasion. This mixture is poured into iron
molds, from which it again comes out in
bricks. The bricks are sliced into strips,
and the latter are rolled out by machines

A PROFIT In SILVER.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-That tie Col
umbian souvenir half-dollars, minted for
the Worlds Fair, will be extensively coun-
terfeited, is looked forward to as almost
certain by the United States Secret Ser
vice. These coins have an actual intrinsic
value of only 80 cents each. Accordingly,
makers of false money could very well
afford 10 manufacture limitations with ex-
actly the same amount Of silver as the real
pieces contain. Inasmuch as the latter are
worth 81 apiece in the market, the profit
would be 20 cents on every bogus half
dollar turned out. The metal composition
being the same as that employed at the
Mint, the rest is merely question or me-
ehanical skill.
Under the circumstances, is is fortunate
that the counterfeiting of coins. as an art,
Is at present far behind the imitation of
paper money. 1t has always been regarded
as an inferior branch of the business, proba-
bly, because of the comparatively small
profits obtained from it. At all events, the
criminals who practice it professionally are
of very low class. Thus it happens that
false coins are nearly always OF clumsy
make and readily detected. Very rarely does
one appear that is sufficiently we'll executed
to be dangerous.
Getting the Genuine Ring.
A while ago the officers of the Secret
Service had some trouble with q bogus sill
yer dollar which was unusually well caleu-
lated to deceive, having the right weight,
good appearance and trae ''ring," These
three essential qualities are not often COM

city of New York, of about 100, 900 pas
sengers and says that he bases his esti-
mate upon careful computation proper

census of 1890.
In addition to this comes a very author
itative statement that no reduction in
rates on regular trains will be made be-
yond that recently adopted by the presi-
dents of the Eastern trunk lines. The
reason given is that such an overwhelm-
ing amount of traffic would result that

up. Muscle, sagacity and Judgment form no
element in a policemen's makeup in the opin-
ion of the ordinary mortal 1t was, perhaps
this mistaken idea that led three of our young
townsmen into trouble.
Tuesday evening an unknown man who
claimed to be looking for well-known man
of town called at the residence of Deputy
Coroner Brennan on South Jardin street
His conduct was offensive to Mrs. Brennan
and when she told him so he addressed her in
abusive language.
This incident reached the attention of
young Mr. Joseph Peters, who is very inti-
mate with Mr. Brennan. With the co-opera
tion of Harvey Waters and John Prosser,
Joe" determined to bring the offensive
stranger to justice if they could trace him.
At about - o'clock Tuesday night Joe" and
his friends met a Jew peddler who was on his
way home with his pack from the Lehigh
Valley depot. They concluded he was the
man they were looking for and grabbed him.
The peddler, naturally believing that the
three young men were attempting to rob
him, offered a determined resistance. "Joe'
yelled, He's the man. He offers resistance"
He then blew his whistle and NO police off
GERS arrived. Joe" explained the case and
the peddler wanted to lodge a complaint of
attempted highway robbery. Upon an agree
ment of mistaken identity all parties de-
parted for their homes
While thinking over the matter on Wednes-
day the peddler changed his mind and con
cluded that he had grounds for at least of as
sault and battery against Peters, Waters and
Prosser. In the evening he had warrants is
sued and the young men were arrested. The
hearing was postponed until yesterday morn
ing and subsequently postponed until last
evening at 8 o'clock
The three young men appeared before
Squire Williams at the hour above named
and after waving a hearing entered bail for
trial.
The moral is that one of the elements in
the make up of good policeman is a power
of discernment that enables him to first find
his man and then jump upon him.
