THE SILVER RECORD
Secretary Carlisle Tells the Story Of
the Coinage of the White
Metal.
And How He Paid Out Gold When
lie Might Have Paid
Silver.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-A representa-
tive of the Associated Press had chat
today with Secretary Carlisle about the
silver situation. In the course of con-
versation the secretary said that from
1892 to 1878, period OF 81 years, the to-
tai amount of silver dollars coined was
s8,O45,83S. In 1873 the coinage was
stopped by congress, but was resumed
in 1878 under the Bland -Alleson act, un-
der which up to July IA, 1890, something
over II years, there was coined 1918, ,lG6,
1913; also trade dollars S5,07S,472, and
from seigniorage on bullion sG6i,lO2
making an aggregate of 1889, ,SS6,374 in
full legal tender silver money issued by
the government since 1870. or this
amount only S5S,O15Ol9 is in actual cir
ulation on the first day of the present
month, the remainder being held in the
treasury as part of the assets of the gov
ernment, represented by outstanding
certificates. Under the act OF July IA.
1890, there has been coined 500, ,4O3.4G1, b,
which makes the total coinage of silver
3 dollars since 1873 aggregate S4l9,294 ,S35,
or more than fifty times as much as dur
ing the previous 81 years
4 In addition to this coinage, the secre-
8 tary has purchased under the act of
4 July IA, 1890, and now holds in the vaults
n of the treasury uncoined, 12l ,2292 ,5}2 fine
N ounces of silver bullion, which cost the
people of the United States Sl14, 800,
and is worth today, at the market price

"that if this policy is continued and We

BOOTH SAVED X. T. LINCOLN'S LIFE.
They Were Waiting for II Train and Did
Not Know Each Other.

BALTIMORE, June 13.-J. II. Ford says
the story that Edwin Booth saved the
life of Robert Il. Lincoln, President Lin
coins son, is essentially correct. The
occurrence was between March and 3,
1876 and was published about ten years
ago. 1t happened at Bowling Green,
KY, or at a station between that place
and Nashville, Tenn. Mr.. Ford had been
travelling through the south with com
pany, at the head of which was Mr..
Booth, and it was at the close of Mr..
Booths engagement. Mr. Booth and
Mr. Lincoln were visiting for train.
Mr.. Lincoln was walking up and down
the track absent -mindedly and did not
notice an engine backing down upon
him. Mr.. Booth pulled him aside when
the engine was SO near that it actually
touched Mr.. Lincoln's heels The latter
was much overcome, shook hands with
tho actor, and expressed his profound
gratitude. At that time Mr.. Booth did
not know the identity OF the man he had
saved.
Some years ago Edwin Booth erected
a monument to his father at Green
mount cemetery. In the double family
lot, surrounded by granite curb lie the
the remains of his grandfather, mother
sisters, and brothers. At the foot Of the
monument is an unmarked grave. 1T is
covered with laurel, while all Other
graves in the lot are hidden beneath a
growth of ivy. This grave is said to con
tain the remains of John Wilkes Booth
who killed President Lincoln.
1t was believed that Edwin Booths
body would be buried beside his parents
AS this is not to be it has been suggested
that fitting tribute for Baltimore his
birthplace-to pay to the memory Of the
great actor would be to erect monu
ment in one of the public squares in the
form of a statue of he oic size showing
Booth as Hamlet. John L. Ford has
started the fund.

night At the special request of the
princess no formal reception was tender
