FACTS AND FIGURES.

During the past year the Philadel-
pha mint coined 81, 100000 pieces with a
valuation of $l3,0O0,000.
During the year $3.50, 900 bushels of
wheat were raised in Kansas. This is
100000 bushels greater than the esti-
mate of Gen. Dodge.
For the year ending November Both
the production Of anthracite coal in the
Pennsylvania region was 81, $50, 1854
tons, an increase OF 4,070,39S tons.
Careful estimates place the amount
of timber cut in the Adirondack forests
in 1891 at 300 100000 feet. TwO-thirds
of this was for lumber and one third for
wood pulp.
To produce the amount of sugar re-
quired in the United States from beets,
would require 100000 tons of beets.
on which the farmers would receive a
bonus of 81, 100000.
The orange crop of California has
been knocked galley west by recent
severe wind storms and the prevalence
of the red scale. 1t is believed that =, 600
car loads or 100000 boxes have been de-
strOyed. The crop will not ow exceed
5000 car loads, or less than 1000, 600
boxes.
The Southern States are certainly
coming to the front. In one month the
exports of the United States were $llO,-
100000, of which S53, 100000 was shipped

quests in England during the past year,
excluding Baron Hirsch's $4,000, 600 for

civilized countries for the poor and
needy.

structed. Only 4,16S miles were added
to the cOuntry's facilities IN this line as
against 12,S7S miles built in 1887. Dur
ing the last ten years 6S, 800 miles of road

800 miles per year. There are III 900
miles of railroad in operation in the
country, giving work to $50, 600 employees
or 100000 more than were employed ten
years ago. The various roads are now
generally speaking, in prosperous con,
dition which will be rendered more so by
extentions which will be built this year.

STORIES OF JUDGES.

Ex-Judge Rearden says that all law.
yers have hearts of mercy until they be-
come judges. In the Supreme Court,
during the brief term he served, he al.
ways refused criminal cases, because the
mother of the young man was sure to
come around and show the grey hairs
under her bonnet. Judge Rearden says
that on two occasions he saw Judge
Levy weaken under the effects of an old
western bonnet trembling with stuffed
roses. The first time was in case of
UrHrd lnronnv ard tho old lndv who
called asked the judge for pass to the
Episcopal Home. She declared that heI
son Fred had declared his intention to
steal because he couldn't get work, ="
and whatever he had stolen was for her
sake and because he couldn't get work.
why" said Rearden, "when the old
woman finished her story, Levy was cry
ing as bitterly as she, and the young
criminal went to the House of COrrec-
ton with ,the smallest sentence he could
get.
Next year the same fellow came up
on an outrageous charge of robbery, and
the ancient lady turned up as usual with
a full set of tears. She shed them freely
but the Judge was familiar with her
tactics, and the young man went over to
San Quentin.
"The sly lady was very ungrareful, for
she rose in her might and cried:I
-" Say! Judge, you used to have a
kind hearth"
Judge Rearden tells this story OF
Judge Lake, who appears to have been
another Jetfrics in his severity towards
prisoners. On certain occasion when
the clerk in his court called off the first
name on the docket gray bearded burg
lar of sixty-eight years stepped flrwa d
to be sentenced.
'PrisOner at the bar" said the Judge,
you have been before this court many
times on the charge of theft | hesitate
to be severe, but in justice to public
morals find it my duty to sentence you
to confinement in the State Prison for
the term of fifty years, and when you
emerge from its walls may You be bet,
ter man,
Excuse me, Judge said the clerk,
you got the wrong man-you fOrgot-it
was young Hayes you were going to send
up for fifty years. That old fellow there
won't last two years. let alone fifty"
''Ah! how is that?" demanded the
Judge, inspecting the list on his desk.
"Oh, see-yes, yes!-dear mellow
very odd! just give Hayes fifty years
also, and you may as well let the other
matter stand. When man of sixty odd
years hasn learned enough to avoid be-
ing found out, he's much safer in Jail. -

THE CoRwIN CASE AGAIN.
The Deposed Preacher Voted a
Letter of Recommendation.
CoRwIN ENDORSED.

Last evening at the regular week.
ly prayer meeting of the First Con-
gregational church of Salem, the
following resolutions were passed
almost unanimously by those pres
ent:
Resolved, That in accepting the
resignation of our pastor, Rev. G. l..
Corwin, we do it very reluctantly,
realizing that we are losing a kind
! friend, thorough Christian gentle
man, and the most Intelligent, able
J and earnest pastor it has been ouI
privilege to have.
Resolved, That we gladly rec.
ommed him to the confidence and
fellowship of any church to which
God in His all-wise providence may
send him.
Resolved, That the chairman OF
the board of trustees present an at
tested copy of these resolutions to
our departing pastor, that copy be
spread upon the church records, and
that u copy be given to each of our
city papers for publication.
From the above resolutions it ap-
pears that Mr.. Corwin still has
many friends in the church, and
they have certainly shown their
loyalty to him by this action.
THE OTHER SIDE.
A few days since the trustees of
the church settled with Mr.. Corwin,
and upon receiving his resignation
paid him $500, three months salary
for time after his dismissal, and
which they claim was not due him.
This settlement was made with the
explicit understanding that it should
end the entire controversy, and that
the whole matter should thus be set
tied in the interest of harmony in
the church. The man who took the
money for Mr.. Corwin, promised
that he and all Mr.. Corwin's friends
would abide by the terms of this
settlement, and that they would ad-
wise all to drop the subject forever.
What did they do? 1t is claimed
that as soon as the cash was turned
over to Mr.. Corwin, his friends im-
mediately set about to be present at
last evenings prayer meeting in a
body and vote Mr.. Corwin a letter
of recommendation, contrary to the
expressed wishes of the church.
A member arose to a point of or
der, stating that he had supposed
that he was in prayer meeting. and
objected to the transaction of such
business, without the entire church
knowing that the subject was to
come up, but he was sat down upon,
and he left the meeting.
1t is also claimed that majority
of the members present were so
taken by surprise by having these
resolutions offered. that they did not
vote. A member, who Is known as
a conscientious, reliable business
man, states that the passing of
these resolutions last evening was
the "sleekest" piece of caucus work
ever perpetrated outside of politi-
cal conspiracy.
THE JOURNAL presents both sides
of this subject, and leaves the pub
lie to judge as to their merits.
