CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-The Champions took
She second game of the present series
from the Colts yesterday. Luck was
largely responsible. The Colts started
out a. II to annihilate Stivetts, but
stopped short after the first inning and
could not get another run across the
plate. Gumbert was not hit hard, but
tbe Chicagos' two errors each let in o
rum. MoCarthy's patience, resulting in
TWO bases on balls, a two-bagger and
thres runs, was the feature OF the game.
DUNCAN caught seven flies, all difficult,
In left field.

Tho sullivan Special Making Passage of

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 3. Champion
John l.. Sullivan had no exercise yester.
day. The special train as IL left New
York contained full length and COM
modious baggage car. It was designed
that the car should 60 through to New
Orleans and bo used by Sullivan for such
exercise as should be feasible aboard .
moving train. At the early hour OF ar
rival in Buffalo and in the confusion ut
the depot some authorities there cut out
the baggage car that had come from New
York and replaced 1t with little trap
that afforded no adequate room for exer-
else by the champion.
At Cleveland the car put into the train
at Buffalo was cut out with the purpose
OF substituting one to meet tho cham
pion's requirements. The Cleveland SUBJ
stitute, however, was box not SO good
az the one for which it was substituted.
Hence the day passed without the mus
cle- -limberlng that had been designed for
the champion.
The trip having been resumed, Crestlins
was reached at 2. .46 p. m. There a wholsoms
dinner waited in readiness for the hungry
pilgrims and rs minutes later the train
journey. Sullivan made away with por-
ter house steak two inches thick, . plate
OF tonst and q pot of weak tea, which
was carried at Crestline into the cham
pion's car. 1t was the first full grown
hot meal he had taken since previous to
eaten thus heartily Sullivan rolled on
upon the bunk in his state room and
soon
Was In Deep Sleep.
Though the day passed without exer.
ming that at Cincinnati suitable bag
gage car should be put into the train so
that there might be some tossing of the
leather ball while the train shall be rum
ming southwark. It is not the design OF
his trainers, however, that Sullivan shall
have any moro severe work. He Is ex-
pectcd to rest out and freshen mp from
his training.
How much the champion may gain In
weight In tho five days that lie be-
tween him and his battle is problematic.
Charley johnson believes he will not pull
down IN once more than 2l2 pounds as
he steps into the ring, while wise talking
sportingmen on the train hold that a
man trained down as Sullivan has been
must gain more In fve days than johnson
anticipates. The impression on the train
seems 10 be that the result may hinge as
much upon Corbett's pluck or heart as
upon any wide difference of condition
between the men. IL IL felt by some that
avc and condition favor Corbett, while
sullivan may prove most strong in self
confidence and doggcd expectation OF
success.
The afternoon monotony on the train
was varied only by the amused interest
OF the pilgrims In the crowds that gath
cred at the stopping places TO gaze at
sullivan's car or to feed their eyes upon
him W he should prove 10 be In
gracious mood. The train reached
Springfield at 4.45 D. m. Three hundred
people at tho depot cheered and yelled
sullivan's name until that individual ap-
peared on the platform OF his cur.
A Great shout Went Up.
Sullivan pulled his yachting cap o6

Ancient Greek Coins.

To the Lydians the innovation of
coming gold and silver is attributed, and
the year 1862 B. G. is fixed as the era of
the invention. Some 300 years after
this, it may be noted, Crnsus was king
of Lydia. The coins of that period were
not very elegant. Among the Greeks
banking was carried on to considerable
extent. Homer speaks of brass money
among them in 1884 B. c., but it was
weights, not coins. But the art of coin
ing was soon acquired by the Greeks
The earliest coins they made were some
what crude.
The original method of making a coin
was by placing given weight of metal,
after it had been softened, over die
upon which national symbol OF emblem
was engraved, and then pounding it
with hammer on the die until good
impression was obtained. They were
rude and battered and showed a. die i'm
preston on one side only, the other bear
ing the rough marks of the hammer.
The earliest Greek coins were of silver,
whereas those of Lydia were of gold or
electron-gold and silver. They were
of sacred character, and the old in
scriptions were succeeded by representa-.
tions of the deities.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Met His Match at Last.

He had climbed Mont Blanc's smooth,
icy heights and stood upon the top; he'd
traced the Nile clear to its source, with
ne'er thought to stop; he'd tramped
across Sahara's wastes till he was like to
drop; he'd fought on many bloody
field and heard the bullets pop; he'd
cleaned out gangs of ruffians and never
called a cop; he'd brought full many an
elephant to mother earth, kerfop, and
caused the savage tiger to enjoy its final
hop; and his bravery had cost him many
scar.
But when he returned to Boston hero's
honors for to share, he acted like man
whom it was no big job to scare; he'd
run and hide behind the trees, and high
would raise his hair; he'd tremble and
he'd shake and blanch, in evident de-
spair; his heart would beat, his eyes
would bulge and he would cry, "Be-
ware" He acted like coward all the
time and everywhere; and the thing that
frightened him, you'd be surprised, was
just, swear, that very gentle, harmless
thing, a plain electric car!-Boston

"In God We Trust"


The motto, elm God We Trust" which
is now stamped upon all gold and silver
coins of the United States, was suggest
ed by an old farmer living in Maryland.
This conscientious Christian gentleman
Thought that our currency should indi-
cate in some way the Christian charac-
ter of our nation, which, he argued,
could be best done by putting motto
upon our coins expressing national re-
lance on divine support in govern
mental affairs. It was in 1861, when S.
P. Chase was secretary of the treasury,
that this man wrote to Washington re-
specting his pet idea. His letter was re-
ferred to Mint Director Pollock, who
discussed the question in his report of
1862.
Pollock and Chase were in favor of
introducing the motto at once, but con-
gress gave the suggestion no attention
whatever. In his. next annual report
Director Pollock again referred to the
matter, this time in firm theological ar
gument, saying, ''The motto suggested,
God Our Trust is taken from our ma
tional hymn, The Star Spangled Ban
ner;' the sentiment is familiar to every
citizen of our country; the time is pro-
pitious; It's an hour of national peril.
Let us reverently acknowledge his SOW
ereignty, and let our coinage declare our
trust in God"
A two cent bronze piece was author
lied by congress to be coined the follow
ing year, and on April %, 1854, the first
United States coin was stamped with
the legend, elm God We Trust. ST.

When Hot Springs Were First Discovered.
America had been discovered and the
colonies were feeling their way toward
the Pacific ocean. In the vanguard was
the famous expedition Of Lewis and
Clarke, which went overland to the
mouth Of the River Columbia. John
Golfer was hunter in this expedition,
and by some chance he went across the
mountains on the old trail of the Nez
Perces Indians which leads across the
divide from the Missouri waters to those
of the Columbia.
When he came back from the Nez
Perces trail he told most wonderful tales
of what he had seen at the head of the
Missouri. There were cataracts of scald-
ing water which shot straight up into
the air; there were blue ponds hot enough
to boil fish; there were springs that came
up snorting and steaming, and which
would turn trees into stone; the woods
were full of holes from which issued
streams of sulphur; there were canyons
of untold depth with walls of ashes full
of holes which let out steam like a loco
motive, and there were springs which
looked peaceful enough, but which at
times would burst like bomb.
Every one laughed at Golfer and his
yarns, and this place was familiarly
known as "Colter's He'll" But for once
John Golfer told the truth, and the
truth could not easily be exaggerated.
But no one believed him. When others
who afterward followed him over the
Nez Perces trail told the same stories,
people said they had been up to "Col-
ter's He'll" and had learned to ie.-Da-

4 HISTORIC CASTLE.

Burg Hohensollorn, the Cradle Of the
ReiUning Family Of Germany.
We have left behind us the grand
duchy Of Baden and are passing through
Hohenxollern, now associated with the
present greatness Of the German empire
For thousand years the name has been
borne by raceof fighters, whose lances
and battle axes have given way to maga-
zine rifles and the methods of Moltke.
The name has been carried far from the
little Danube country-northward to
the Russian border and to Holland; to
the west it has thrown its arms around
Strasburg, and eastward it has driven
the holy Roman empire to beyond the
center Of German influence.
The castle to which all the branches
Of this much divided stock look to as
the ancestral home lies few miles
from Sgmaringen, the road winding
along q tumbling brook, whose mouth
is near the foot of the ruins Of Dietfurt
castle, to point where the water on one
side flows to the Danube and on the other
into the Rhine.
In the broad valley shortly beyond
this point rises solitary peak crowned
with the battlements of Burg Hohen-
zollern. For miles on every side it is
the most striking feature of the country,
and rising as It does straight up out Of
great plain and commanding an un-
obetructed view Of all surrounding ap-
proaches, it represented down to our
century military position readily ap-
preciated.
1t has been twice in ruins, and twice
built up again by the united efforts Of all
the family. The present castle was COM
menced in 1850, with view not merely
Of preserving the cradle Of the Prussian
kings, but equally to represent in south
Germany q military stronghold Of some
value. While, therefore, the architect
has been given free hand, in order to
make the outward appearance harmonic
with the geographical situation, all the
requirements Of modern warfare have
been taken into account in the construc-
ton Of the massive Ngzag of defensive
wall
A company Of infantry were tramping
out to drin as we came under the walls,
WHICH Il3Q6 US Idtu6l WOlQ6T Wu0T0
they could all find standing room together
for the purpose, until we discovered
little terrace cut out Of the side Of the
slope, somewhat like the one on the
Quebec citadel.
The day was hot, our coats were off,
our waistcoats loose and sleeves rolled
up as we sought the public room of the
castle, where retired sergeant provided
mediocre food at rather high prices.
OF course the "Kastellan" showed US
the castle, but the rooms being modern
the interest is rather with historic asso-
citation than with the objects themselves,
precious as many Of them are. The
present emperor has not visited the place
since his advent to the throne, and it
has never been much lived in by any Of
the royal family. A reason naturally
suggests itself in the distance from Ber-
lin, the smallness of the space available
for an imperial suite and the absence Of
entertainment in the neighborhood.-
Poultney Bigelow in Harper's.

Bronze Very Ancient.

Bronze, spoken of in the Bible as brass,
is Of very ancient origin. We have little
or no notion how the ancients got cop
per; but in all probability large quanti-
ties were formerly found in the metallic
state, just as we find it now in the neigh
borhood Of Lake Superior in America
and Baikal lake in Siberia This would
only have required melting to yield a
tolerably pure metal. If, however, they
smelted copper from its various ores, it
is difficult to realize how they could
overcome such a complicated process,
and we can only admit that in this re-
spect, as in so many others, the ancient
people of Europe were very much cleverer
than we moderns are apt to believe

How Some Coins Were Named.

The origin of the names Of coins in
present use is curious. In many cases
they imply a standard of weight that
lost it's significance long ago. This is
the case with the English standard, the
pound. The word shilling is of German
derivation, like penny, which comes
from the German pfennig. The word
"crown" comes from the image placed
on the coin. The name franc was given
by King John, who first coined these
pieces in 1860. They bore the motto
"Le Roi Frank (King of the Franks)
and were of two kinds, one representing
the king on horseback, the other on foot.
