New Years Is "Pin MoHey'' Gay.

All ladies know what pin money is,
but it may be interesting to them to
learn the origin Of the expression and
also to know that it is directly connected
with New Years day. Until the begin
ming Of the sixteenth century the only
pins used by the poorer classes were
made Of wood-in fact, they were not
pins at all, but skewers, which, for the
use Of the wealthy, We're Of boxwood,
bone and silver. At the period above
named the metal pins now in use were
invented, and people Of fashion We're
eager to possess them. They at once be-
came the most popular and acceptable
New Years gift for ladies, but it soon
grew customary to give, instead of the
pins themselves, the money with which
to purchase them, and this was called
"pin money!" term which gradually
came to be applied to all money given to
ladies for the general purpose Of dress

NEW YEAR OF
FOR THE NEW YEAR.

Ring out, O bells, of every sect
Too many names ye have for rhyme
Peal joyously the New Year chime.
And all the veal we all expect.
Ring out the hustle and the bang;
Ring out the dudes and the pug dogs, too:
Ring out lorgnettes without ado.
And dripping skirts that bobbing hang.
Ring out the need for Latin, Greek;
Ring out the mixed tongues. slang and all
And when we go to make q call
Let us converse in Volapuk.
Ring out the "rings," the corners keen
That corner many a man of wit;
Ring in some good laws made to fit,
And not by lawyers only seen.
Ring out hard times and dire suspense;
Ring in less greed, a kindlier hand;
Ring in great plenty through the land;
Ring in q rain Of common cents.

THE HIGHER Law" AGAIN.
Judge Lynch Holds Court at Gaffney

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. S.-A
Spartanburg special to the News and
Courier says: Speedy and terrible
punishment was meted out to q negro
named Bob Kennedy, about twenty
years old. at Gaffney last night. About
dusk. Il married white woman and her
little girl were hurrying home from
the business portion of the city, and
when in a narrow lane near the house,
negro suddenly grabbed the woman,
threw her down and began to choke
her. Her screams aroused little boy
not far off. He ran out and saw the
negro, who ran away as soon as he saw
the white boy. He ran off without
completing the assault.
The white boy followed him, and
saw him enter house not far away.
He then called in some neighbors, who
went to the house and found Kennedy
sitting by the fire with his shoes off
and put out of the way. One negro in
the house said Kennedy had been there
for three hours; another one stated
that he had just come in. He was
ordered to get his shoes, which showed
that they had just been in the the mud.
He was carried out and his tracks COR
responded exactly with the ones
where the woman was assaulted. The
white boy identified him as the man
he saw run away and enter the house.
He was kept under arrest until about
midnight, when he was carried out to
the slaughter pen and hanged,
The people were the more incensed,
because a week or two ago, while three
little girls were going to the Cooper.

negro unknown to them came out from
the woods, seized one and began tC

other two ran and screamed, and the
dummy came along just then, and the
negro became alarmed and released
the girl, who escaped, frightened
nearly to death. They believe that
Kennedy made the attack on the little
child. He confessed to the assault or

Secretary Carlisle Corrects am Err.
roneons Statement In Regard to the
MintS. III I~

| Secretary Carlisle Corrects an Err
roneous statement In Regard to the
MintS. ~ -
| A reporter OF the New York Evening
| Post interviewed Hon. j. G.. Carlisle,
Secretary of the Treasury, on his re-
cent visit to that city. Mr.. Carlisle
declined to say anything In relation tC
the financial and business situation. or
express any opinion as to the outlook.
As to the condition OF the treasury, he
did not consider 1t wise or proper to
transact the business of the govern.
ment through the newspapers.
Through the misunderstanding Of a
treasury order, or an erroneous dis
patch from Washington, the impress
sion has become general that Secre-
tary Carlisle has ordered the mints to
coin the seignorage of the silver bullion
now In the treasury, that Is, the pro-
portion p,,,; OF any given quantity of silver
bullion that would become seigniorage
II the total of that quantity were coin
ed: In reply to a question, Mr.. Car
Isle said that he had not issued any
order directing the mints to coin tho
silver bullion now in the treasury nor
any part of it. What l have done is
just this, said Mr.. Carlisle, we could
use few more silver dollars now and
have therefore directed the mints to
get ready to coin some of the bullion if
1T should be deemed advisable to do so
that is, have ordered them to pro-
pare the ingots and stamps. It is
necessary, you know, before the bullion
can be coined to make ingots of q GER
tain length and of the same thickness
as the dollar. To do that and make
the stamps would take some weeks, SO
you see we could not begin coming at
once, even If we wanted to do 80.
1t would take moro than five years to
coin all the silver bullion now in the
treasury. If we should begin to coin
1T, the seignorate would not in round
figures amount to more than 81 ,OO0,OOO
month, or If the mints we "e all kept
steadily going, about $l2, 900 900 year.
With certainty that the purchases of
silver bullion are stopped we could pro-
bably use that much with advantage.
should be sorry, however, to see any
law passed, as was recently suggested,
that would set aside the proportion of
silver bullion that would become
seigniorage (the proportion that will
become seigniorage can be calculated,
OF course, to dot, to compel us to coin
1T alone, at once, aud put it into the
treasury as available cash. If we did
that l think the coin would come
back to us in a way that we should
not care to see. Something should
be left to the discretion of the
Secretary of the Treasury. The law
at present invests him with the
authority to coin SO much of the bull
lion on hand as may be necessary for
the redemption of the treasury notes.
Ii we should proceed to coin some of
the bullion now on hand, it would give
us about 81 900, 900 month in seignior-
age, and that, as have said, in the
nrpSpnt condition nf hn
could use to advantage. | do not know
how the misapprehensions or misun-
derstanding of my order to the mints
arose. An authoritative statement on
the subject was issued from the treas
ury.

He Sees Nothing Dishea rtening i'm til,

ATLANTA Nov. 9.-Spealser Crisp
is in the city, and spent several hours
among the legislators at the capitol.
He gave his views to the newspaper
men upon the recent results OF the
elections. 81 think" said Mr.. Crisp,
there is nothing to dishearten us In
the result. There Is no indication to
my mind Of weakness in our party
from that election. 1t was no slap at
the administration, and proceeded from
series of very natural causes.
In the first place, the financial de-
preston caused much discomfort,
which will disappear with the soon aud
certain return of better times. Then
it Is an of year, which but carried
with the fulfillment Of the old prece-
dent. that the party in power loses.
But the most salient feature OF the
late elections Is the fact that in many
OF the States the issues were local and
not national, New York being the only
notable example OF this state OF af-
fairs"
Judge Crisp outlined the probable
course OF Congress at its Hext conven-
ing rs follows:
We shall get to work at once on
the tariff, and a bill will be presented
embodyiug the reductions pe6ommpnd-
ed in the Democgatic platform. Thore
will be a substantial reduction OF the

REPORT ON IMMIGRATION.
Law aud Cholera Combine TO Check
L.- the Tide

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--Superintend.
ent OF immigration Stump, in his an
nual report, says that for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1898, 4iO,793 Inn
migrants arrived In this country. OF
these, 439,730 We're landed and /. I.O83
were debarred Five hundred and
seVenty-seyen persons were returned
70 the countries whence they came,
having becomefpublic charges within
one year after arriving in the United
States. OF the number who came TO
this country during the wear, ~. .s9T
could not read, $3.50 could not write
AM and 81, ,3OS could neither read nor write.
The number of immigrants was l4l ,O34
iess than the number arrived during
the precedingc fiscal year. The great,
est decrease was from the following
countries: Russia, 4O79l Hungary
i2l132; Poland, "a, 1872; Bohemia, =.
4Zo, making total of SO,113, while
Italy shows an increase of only 1854.
Iho decrease of immigration, saws
the report, is attributable, in great
part, to cholera. During March and
April, 1898, large pumbers came over,
and In the first part of May as many as
Zo,ooO immigrants were reported to be
upon the ocean at one time, destined
10 the United States, their object being
TO arrive before the restrictive meas
ufcS om oouled IN the act passed March
8, 1893, went into effect. The volume
OF Immigration would have exceeded
previous years had the law not been i'm
force. Great numbers of the most un-
desirable classes abandoned their pur-
pose to emigrate or were refused trans
portation.
An addition might be made - our
immigration laws" says the report,
giving power to courts having crimi,
nal jurisdiction to deport ali aliens
who, within period of two years from
the date of landing, are convicted of
any crime or misdemeanor which in
the opinion of the court, renders th.m
undesirable citizens or convinces it
that they are not attached to the
principles of the constitution of our
government and to the good order aud
well being of society in general. This
would rid us of alien anarchists, crimi-
nails and turbulent spirits who ar.
opposed to the laws of God and man"
The expenditures of the bureau dur
ing the year amounted to 1901, 2423O,
ana the service now promises TO be
selfsustaining.
