SMALL NOTEs PLENTY.

The Treasury IL Prepared to supply the
Country with All that Is Needed.
WASH INGTON. Aug 4-Treasury officials
state that the treasury Is prepared to sup
ply all the small currency wanted. and tho
lack of such currency in certain sections
of the country IS accounted for by the sup
position either that all money Is scarcer. or
that the banks have failed to procure from
the treasury the small notes needed for
consumption. At no time in recent years
has 90 much small money been sent to New
York, and the lack of small notes there can.
not be accounted for here. except on the
theory that much of il is being boarded by
those who receive 1t. thus Withdrawing IL
from active circulation.
1t Is stated at the Treasury Department
that there is no likelihood of the resump-
tion of the issue of gold certificates until
the free gold stands from S7.0oO.0O0 to el0,-
COG. 900 above the reserve. This increase
can only be authorized by the Secretary OF
the Treasury, who has not yet given any
instructions In that direction. The free
gold is nearly $500. 600.
Since Aug. the Controller of the Cur
rency has ordered currency printed for
issue on the security of United States
tho amount of 81. 6S2. 600. of which 81. .46S. 900
was ordered to-day. Tho actual amount
issued on bonds since the first of the month
has been 81. l64, 15J, of which S7ll.070 was
issued to-day. The bonds deposited to Sc
cure circulation since Aug. 1 amount to
SS.063 500. of which 81, ,O26. 900 were deposited
to-day.

low HE PASSED HIS LAST DAY

SING SING, N. Y, May 7.-Carlyle
Harris has said farewell to his parents
and friends and all dear to him on earth,
and now awaits the messenger of death.
The last act in the strange drama of his
life approaches, and while he shows g
nervous apprehension and full appro-
citation of the terrible thing that is to
come to him oRtbe morrow, no signs of
breaking down& bisible. He adheres to
his oft-repeated declaration of Innocence,
and he passed the best part of his last
day on earth not in communication with
his spiritual advisers preparing for the
great hereafter, but with pen and ink
and paper, reviewing the past and seek
ing to place himself right with the
world he leaves. He was tri1e more
nervous than usual today, the situation
having its effect upon him, and the man
who allowed no sign of emotion to
escape him during the scenes of the
! past months is at least showing that he
is human. The prison physician saw
Harris twice today, and said that while
he was little more nervous than usual,

boarding-house today and did not go tc
the prison.
She took her last farewell of her boy
yesterday afternoon. The scene was
one of the saddest which has ever been
witnessed within the grim walls, where
all is sadness. The younger brother
Allan, also said goodbye yesterday
This afternoon Charles D. Harris, the
father. accompanied by young Allan
went to the prison, and father and sor
met for the first time in years. Mr.
and Mrs. Harris have lived apart fol
some time. Afterward the father took
the train back to his home in Syracuse
leaving Mrs. Harris and Allan to wait
here until all is over and they can carry
away all that is mortal of their beloved
The last farewell to relatives having
been said, Carlyle Harris devoted his
time to writing a review of the chic

'sDon't lay hand on me, or you'll drop
dead"
Captain Bennett heard the words and
opened the door, standing in the en-
trance with a bundle OF War Crys in
her arms.
's.You wronged me and you know it, ;"
Hoskins shouted at her.
AZ he spoke, he fired. The ball
missed He shot again. The War Crys
huttered loosely to the floor, and Cap
tain Bennett fell When Hoskins fell
forward his life blood dyed the papers,
and formed thick, red pool, extending
on each side of the body.
The women did not even gasp. Her
eyelids moved slightly, and she
breathed her last.
Attracted by the eound of the shots,
morbid, curious crowd collected at
the foot of the stairway, and before a
policeman arrived to keep them back,
many persons gathered about the
bodies. The sickening sight seemed to
have strange fascination for many of
them. Coroner Newman had difficulty
forcing his way to the place where the
tragedy occurred.
The woman was removed to the
morgue first, and orders were giva~ :
have the body embalmed for transpor-
tation to San Francisco. Hoskins will
be buried at the expense of. Spokane
county, probably, as no one das showed
any interest in giving him a private
burial.
SPOKANE, May THE funeral SER
vices were conducted at the Methodist
Episcopal church this afternoon under
the auspices of the Salvation Army
The streets were thronged during the
progress of the procession from the bar
racks to the church., Several local min
listers took part in the services, which
were very impressive. Many allusion
were made to Captain Benefits devo
-tion to her work, and sobs were hearC
all over the house. The crush in tn
church was awful. and in the midst OF
hymn the edifice began to settle and tn
walls to crack. Hundreds rushed ou
into the street, and there was almost
panic. The church is bulls on an inse
cure foundation, and the building set
tied four inches owing to the grea
weight.

In 1855 he removed to Philadelphia,

was elected to the senate for a full

senator from Delaware to serve for the
unexpired part of his original term.
This is the only case of father and
son being voted for by the same legis-
lature to fill the senatorial Office In

affection for Captain Ida Bennett of the

A deafening report followed and Hos

members of the Salvation army saw the
deed, but were powerless to prevent it.
The weapon was 44-caliber revolver
loaded with Winchester rifle cartridges.
The first shot penetrated the woman g
heart, entering below her. left arm as
she stood with her left side turned to-
ward him.
The suicidal bullet did its work with
awful certainty. The muzzle Of the
weapon touched the right temple as it
was fired, and the leaden ball made its
exit Just above the left ear. The con-
cussion split the skull as if with an axe.
Blood and brains were scattered over a
space of 10 feet square, and as the man
lay in his own blood, the greater part of
his mangled brain oozed out on to the
floor.
