IT will be remembered that our
Democratic friends on the stump
last fall declared that the talk
about State Banks was all "a myth
gotten up by the Republican
orators to scare the people. But
now that Congressman William
L. Wilson, Of West Virginia.
comes out with a. favorable en-
dorsement of these wild cat in.
situations the people must con.
clude that there was something
more than fancy in the report.
Mr.. Wilson recently expressed
himself as follows on the subject:
~ do not believe it would be
a dangerous experiment to again
start the State Banks. They
would not be like the wild cat
institutions, before the war. Their
notes would not be legal tender.
and no one would be compelled
to accept them unless they so de.
sired. The volume Of the circula.
ting medium throughout the
country would, however, be
largely increased"
Mr.. Wilson admits that there
would be two kinds of money in
circulation good money and
cheap money. And that no one
would be compelled to take the
cheap kind. What a financial
mess we would have with to kinds
of currency! Is this Democracy's
dream of Utopias

Ghosts Ase yers,y Old, Too.

1t has been the current opinion for
centuries that places OF burial are
haunted, especially after nightfall,
with spccters, ghosts and other APP
partitions. Persons who have invests
gated this matter declare that the
ghost idea was prevalent before Noah
built the ark. Even Ovid has put him
self on record as Believing that spirits
occasionally left their sepulchers and
wandered about seeking whom they
might devour. =.

back to the more congenial climate OF
their far eastern homes
The most hardy and patient pioiders
at the fair grounds are the Japanese.
Nothing seems to daunt them in their
work They are incapable of even a
near approach to haste, yet in their
leisurely, haphazard way of doing
things they accomplish wonders.
These people will undoubtedly have
some of the most curious and interest
ing displays to be seen at the fair.
Among them Will be a Japanese well
at the Horticultural building, con-
structed from material taken from one
of the oldest wells in Japan, which
Will show the primitive method of
drawing water in use in that country.
The stone used in the construction of
this well is a kind of red sandstone
neatly put together by the deft fingers
of these sl1illful artisans This well
and rustic bridge constructed by the
Japanese gardeners will undoubtedly
prove of great interest to visitors from
all parts of the western world. Some
very neat and handsome work in hand

curiosities they possessed. This tree
was only three feet in height, al
though it was three hundred years
old, and was thought to be the
finest specimen in existence. 1t was
sent to the fair by the emperor
Of Japan, and every precaution was
taken to preserve it from harm, but
all efforts were unavailing, and the
only use it can now be pat to will be
TO serve as a relic of its former self.
Another unique exhibit will be a

ests, caves, streams of water, etc,
erected by the state of Pennsylvania.
Upon this mountain in various atti-
tudes Will be found stuffed specimen
of every beast and bird that is to be

frequents its waters. Among the an
imals represented will be a huge lion
that was shot in the Quaker state in

in the city OF Dublin. Most of the arti.
cles of this collection are made from
actual impressions from the originals,
many of which are TO be found in the
Royal Irish academy, some from the
British museum, some from Trinity
college, and many from private collec.
tions. Foremost in the collection is
the great cross of Cong, the old process
sional cross of the O'ConnorS. which
was al ways carried in advance of the
hosts. 1t is magnificent piece of
eleventh century work and has been
reproduced in solid silver and gold re-
pousse, with elegant enamels and
jewels.
In the collection is the celebrated
Ardagh cup, which is believed to have
been used either as a chalice or an an
cient altar lamp. it is richly ornament
ed with enamel of different colors and
produced in solid silver.
There are n great number of ancient
shrines, including the shrine of St.
Manchin, a large piece of work with
over eighty human figures. Also the
shrine of the Four Gospels, covered
with quaint figures and interlacings;
the shrine OF St Patrick's tooth, COW
cred with filigree work. In the CEN
ter is the large crystal under which
the celebrated relic reposes. The
shrine of st. Lactin's arm is another
piece of jeweled work and filigree.

WRECK OF A COAL BARGE.
sad Drowning of Crew on the Rhode
Island Coast.


BLOCK ISLAND, r l., Feb. 23.-The
saddest sight that has been seen here
since the wreck of the schooner War
rior, in 1884, was witnessed at noon.
The loaded coal barge Reliance, with
crew of five men, Philadelphia to Bos-
ton, broke away from her tug and anch-
Ored three-quarters of a mile west of
Block island. The keeper of the life
saving station seeing that she was
laundering signaled the men to slip
anchor and come ashore, but the schoOn-
err struck so far out and went in pieces
so quickly that it was impossible to
save the crew. The wind was blow
ing a seventy-mile gale from the
northwest The barge broke up in
less than an hour. The body of wom-
an about 35 years old was washed
ashore. She is supposed to have been
the captains wife. Forty-fiv dollars
were found in her pocket A child's
doll, with other articles found on the
beech. indicates that child met with
similar death. Papers found on the
beech show that the captain belonged
to Mohegan council, l. O. o. F., New
London, Conn. The other bodies are
supposed to be under the wreckage.
The barge was a propeller six years
ago and was rebuilt into coal barge.
II is supposed the old part left the new.
A four-masted schooner anchored six
miles south of Block island is appar-
emily in distress. All her sails have
been blown away.

Frozen Mn.to,in New Zealand.

The sheep farmer, it seems, finds that
he can deliver his sheep with fair
profit a. - n pound at the nearest port
or freezing point The killing and
freezing process is undertaken chiefly
by companies, which have established
freezing stations at various convenient
points along the coast, and which ship
the carcasses, consigned to agents in
London or elsewhere. One of the sights
of the day at the Albert docks is the ar
rival of one of the New Zealand Ship
ping Co.'S fine steamers, perhaps the
Tongariro or the Rimutake, or some
other of the fleet with the sonorous
Maori names, and to see the subsequent
discharge of some 1000 carcasses, each
neatly wrapped in its winding-sheet of
white calico. The whole years eXpor-
tations now figures to about 1000, 900
frozen carcasses and is rapidly increas-
ing. Yet with all this depletion the
number of sheep in the colony IS rapid
ly increasing The hocks have largely
increased in number and the export of
wool has risen from about $4,000, 600
pounds in 1852 to 1OS.O0J. 900 in 1901

Panorama of the Alps

Notice has arrived of the shipment
from New York of twenty-siX cases con-
tanning panorama accessories shipped
from Antwerp by NJ. Henneberg, of
Geneva. This is the panorama of the
Swiss Alps which has recently been
exhibited at Paris The artists who
have executed what is said to be a
really wonderful work are Messrs.
Burnand, Baud, Bory and Furet, and
they have chosen as their point of OBJ
servation for the views shown in the
painting Maenlichen, whence a superb
panorama of mountains and valleys is
obtained. On one side the Jungfrau
and Eiger Monch and lofty crests of
the Overland shut out the horizon,
while below the eye plunges down
hundreds of feet into the deep chasm
of the Lutschine; on the opposite side
the lonely slopes of the Grudenwald
present a charming contrast to the
solemn grandeur of the mountains.
