WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

DIRECTOR GENERAL DAVIS has or
dered stop put to the alleged dane
ing in the Persian palace on the Mid
way Plaisance.

been assigned for an encampment of
the Kansas national guard September

buildings at the worlds fair. 1t is 80
feet wide by 200 feet long, and three
stories high. Inclusive of donated
material and decorations the structure
represents an expenditure of more
than $150,000.
The American exhibitors have be-
gun fight on the wheel chair conces-
sion by calling upon the council of adj
ministration to have the prices re-
duced, believing that such a policy
would bring more people to the fair

chairs.
THE national commission has adopted
resolutions recognizing the heroic
services rendered at the cold storage
fire. by Marshal Murphy, Lieut.. Will
liam Barker, Lieut.; William Miller,
Capt. James Carnes, Hans Rehfelt,
James Mcclure and John Howard.
Do NOT miss the fair, whatever the
cost. It will be the one time In the
life of some. It will not be as expen-
sive as may be supposed, and the relax
alton from the ordinary pursuits, with
the enjoyment to be secured, will more
than compensate for the time devoted
to that purpose.
THE Russian exhibit at the worlds
fair occupies 120,610 square feet,
divided as follows: Agriculture, $4,000;
horticulture, 1000; live stock, 200; fish
cries, $500; mines, 2,4o0; machinery,

the Arabian encampment. This is the
first child to be born at the fair. The

born outside the grounds.
CONCERNING the rumor that Gov. Alt
geld is to call an extra session Of the
legislature to grant the exposition use
of Jackson park another year Presi-
dent Higinbotham said: .'Such action
would be unnecessary. The park COM
missioners have full power. However,
the exposition company has not asked
for the use Of the park another year
and do not think it will"

SECRETARY cARLIsLE's LETTER.
Recoinage of the Existing Silver Would
Cost Over 800, 000, 900.

The following is Secretary Carlisle's
letter toSenator Voorhees,:
Sir Referring to our conversation re-
lative to the probable cost incident to
the change from the present coinlng
the standard silver dollars and to ID. 95
for subsidiary silver) to a ratio of to
20. you are respectfully informed that
the number of silver dollars coined since
1873 aggregates 41s, 1892, 450.
Without any allowance for abrasion
and loss incident to melting the same,
the coming value OF these dollars at a
ratio of TO 90, would be 1888, 222, 1852, or
1884, ITO, 28S less than their present face
value.
To recon these dollars at a ratio of l.
to 20 would require the addition of ST.
376, 700 ounces Of new bullion, which, at
the average price paid for silver under
the act ct 9 9ssg l l A. 1890 {so.ss Ia would
In ADDITION to this, I estimate that
there would be loss from abrasion and
in the melting OF these dollars Of at least
So, 900, 900, which amount, together with
the difference in the face value OF the
coins 1884, ITO, 1881, would have to be reim-
bursed to the treasury by an approprla-
tion for that purpose.
From the fact that the silver dollars
are ulSbflUuOCd oAilOuSAiouo oho SONAoAJ ~
it would be necessary, as they are re-
deemed at the several sub-treasurles, to
transport them to the mints and the ex-
pense of transportation for $500, 600, 600,
the amount outside of the stock on hand
at the sub-treasuries and mints at Ph1la-
delphia, San Francisco and New Orleans,
would average at least one ana hail
per cent, or 81, 5000
therefore estimate the cost of re-
coming the silver dollars already coined
as follows:
New bullion to be added to $75, 1883, 700;
loss by abrasion and melting, 50, 900, 600;
cost of coming Qabor, material, etc. J,
So, $50, 900; copper tor alloy, $6S, 200; trans
portation of dollars to mints, 81, 500, 900.
Total, $50, 741 300. The stock of subsid-
larry silver coin in the country is esti-
mated at SIT, 900, 900, which at full weight
would contain 55, 500, S75 ounces of fine
silver This amount, at ratio of to
90, would coin S55, S43, S02, or $21, 1855, 1877
less than the present face value.
To recon ST, 900, 900 of subsidiary silver
into an equal amount Of fractional coin,
addition of IS, 797, 625 fine ounces, which
at 20 IA cents per fine ounce the average
price paid for silver under the act Of
July IA, 1890, would cost ST, 52s, 7s5.
There would be loss of about Q IL
per cent by abrasion from the face value,
or about 81, 925, 900.
I would therefore estimate the cost of
recoining the subsidiary silver in the
country, at ratio of to 20 as follows
New bullion, ST., 52S, 1885; loss by abra-
sion, 81, 925, 900; cost of coinage Qabor,
materials, etc., 50, 500, 900; copper for
alloy, SIS, 696; cost of trnsportion, 81, 1885,
900; total, $23, 1874, 421.

coining.silver dollars, s89, al, 500; esti-
mated cost of recoining subsidiary silver,

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear; There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by, CONSTITUTE
ionaI remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infsmed
you have rumblirg sound OF imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
moi be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

against repeal, believing that no relief
would come to the country from it.

In tinplate we would save from 100000

Louis Rosenfed of John Rosenfeld's
Sons said: San Francisco imports about
100000 tons of coal year. Other ports
in California add about $50. 600 tons, max
ing total for the State Of 100000 tons
per annum. Take eff the duty Of 70 cents
a ton and you save 81. 100000 wear. You
can't get away from that fact. Cheap fuel
is a vital question for California. Imagine
the saving TO factory which uses 100 tons
a day. 1t often means the difference be-
tween doing business at a loss and at a
profit. Cheap coal means cheap light and
cheaper water. II is estimated that fuel
constitutes from rs 10 so per cent of the
cost Of electric light and power. Think OF
