WAR VESSELS ON TIE LAKI
British Revenue Cutters Equipped feI

Toledo, Ohio, special: The Bldds pub
lished long article descriptive Of the three
English alleged revenue cutters now lying

Georgia Bay. These vessels, which are
named the Petrol. the Constance, and the
Curlew, are, according to the Blades rep-
resentative who visited the place, men-of.
war. amy one OF which is capable OF knock
Ing into splinters all the floating armament
which the United States now has on the
reat Lakes. The vessels are said to be
each $50 feet long and 25 feet beam, with q
draft OF less than 10 feet They are cap.
able OF running through the smallest canal
In the lake system, and their armament is
the most complete OF its kind known to
modern naval warfare. Each vessel has
three MaNim- Nordenfeidt H-pounder rifles
capable OF doing execution al 5000 yards,
and OF piercing four inches Of solid STEEL
In addition each vessel has four rapid lrA
ing Hotchkiss guns. The fleet, which 10
under the command of Lieut.. Commander
McGregor, is manned by British sailors and
orders are received direct from the British
Admiralty Office In London, and the Cana
dian officers have nothing weateyer TO do
with them. The old man-of-war Michigan,
which alone upholds the fsg of the United
States on the Great .sakessXs. according to
the Blade, OF no use Oh lang or sea. and the
revenue cutters Perry and Fessenden will
be Of even less utility In time OF war.
There is then. the Blade declares, abso.
lutely nothing to prevent the English lay-
Ing in ashes every lake port in the states.
Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit would be,
in case OF war. forced to surrender within
forty -eight hours. The cruisers have been
placed la Owens Sound. 1t is alleged, to
prevent the STATES from feeling to se-
cure.

trans Atlantic lines in regard to the carry
ing OF steerage passengers. The traffic is

Gations. In regard to the advancing OF

ter of a few dollars advance in the steam
ship fare will not stop irst-class traffic.

PAPER CURRENCY.
An Imperfect Method OF Keeping an
Account of the system.

An Imperfect Method of Keeping an
Account Of the system.
Washington special: Treasurer Nebecker
10 his annual report makes the following
significant remarks in regard to the pres
mt system Of paper currency in the United
states:
1.-The present methods OF keeping ac~
count Of the issue OF the redemption OF
paper money are imperfect and unsatis'
factory. They do not afford the certainty
OF correctness desirable in business of
the magnitude to which this has grown.
There being no record OF the redemptions
beyond simple entry OF date, denomina-
tion and amount, the safeguards against
errors are insufficient. The sole reliance
for accuracy is in the examination which
the notes receive in passing through the
Department A mistake Of description in
the original schedule, il not discovered be-
fore the destruction OF the notes, would
probably be perpetuated. Worse than this
duplicate numbers or numbers never
regularly issued, would pass without
suspicion. In either case the fact OF an
error having occurred might not be brough
TO light for years; and then only by the
condition OF the account. II, for example,
In the course Of liquidation OF u particular
issue an overdraft should appear. the fact
of some irregularity would be patent but
the correction OF even the location Of the
irregularity itself might be impossible.
While some Improvement might perhaps be
made in the details OF the present fnetods.
1t is doubtful II any system short OF & COM
plete numerical registry of every note,
with the dates Of issue and redemption,
would be entirely satisfactory. Such
records would not only be available check
against the occurrence Of errors, hut would
also bear upon their face certain evil
dencc of their own integrity, and AZ d
the means OF tracing and correctiI. uHty
tnista kes that might creep in.

About Advertiser ments.

Jay Gould that he first conceived the idea
OF attempting to acquire business educa-
tion from the inducements offered by Hob

weekly visits to the Gould household.
Al tho age Of IA years young
Gould entered this same college,
and from the institution afterward
went forth into the business world. to be-
come the greatest fnancier OF the age.
This is but one instance OF where the
reading of advertisements has led to
