"Ah. Chone. wheah's youah chwyssieY
Youah not in Il without one heah, don't

the next stand and decked himself for the
procession that was marching down
broadway. Around the corner on TWen-
ty-third street, was just the same.
There the indefatigable shoppers with the
flower Of swelldom pinned on their lapels
danced along to the tune Of the poor
wheezy little flute, that gasps so fitfully
I'm it's attempt TO add to the gayety Of the
street. The dancers have donned their
autumn gowns at last and live waxen-
featured ladies' are to be seen outside the
windows as we'll as their fac-similes with
I'm.
A pretty blonde, attired I'm perfectly
fitting gown Of gray, tripped along Uncon-
s,iously, conscious of her couture, which
WAS arranged IN the Latest twist at the
back OF her head-not high, but with an
up end down roll standing out from the
middle Of the coil under her hat. Just
behind her was a sallow brunette, In
black and magenta. Why will dark
women persist in trying TO wear magenta
The Only redeeming feature abolt her
was the silk petticoat, which a muddy
crossing revealed. II was black and
white, Win dear little pinked hounco or
white fable draped with black lace and
headed with rows and bows Of white baby
ribbon. But this did not satisfy her wants
I'm that line. for she stopped 10 look at
some beauties displayed I'm window.
Many OF these are made with corsets TO
match. One, a pink silk with moss rose
buds, was a perfect dear. This is where
the craze for silk is leading US.
At an afternoon tea last week was a
gown OF peach. colCred crepe de Chine.
A panel OF Nile green silk was set In
between the front and back breadths,
and the edges were trimmed with string
pearls. A blouse bodice on a fitted lining
was OF green, with a short waistcoat
edged with pearl trimming and turned
back over a jacket Of green. The sleeve
pun was Of peach color with a fiounce
of green. Folds OF green silk encircltd

worn a yellow lace hat with an ivy
wreath around the crown and two black
Prince OF Wales feathers standing up over

COMM . TIE "sEIGNoRAGc.n

And what is that? What is that? It IS
making money out Of moonshine, as you
shall see.
That spendthrlft Ffty-frst Reed Con-
gress left the country so burdened with
fraudulent pensions and other wasteful
expenditures that Secretary Carlisle says
the revenue for the current year viii be
fifty millions Of dollars less than the ap-
preparations. That fifty millions must be
found somewhere and Mr.. Carlisle says
f. shall be found in the "seignorage."
And what is "seignorage?"
The Sherman law, which commenced
operation in 1890, commanded the Sec
tary TO buy four million five hundred thou
sand ounces Of silver each month at the
market price Of silver, and to pay for it
by issuing the governments promissory
notes 10 the sellers. 1t provided that he
should cola as much OF 1t into standard sill
ver dollars as he should think he ought to
coin. standard silver dollar contains
81 Ia grains Of pure silver and an ounce
contains $50 grains of the same. An
ounce of silver is worth about seventy
cents now. When the Sherman law went
into effect II was worth about one dollar
and twenty sents, but 1t has been falling
in market value ever since until an ounce
is worth now only some seventy cents.
You will perceive, therefore, that when
ever the government bought an ounce Of
silver to manufacture a silver dollar that
would pay one dollar Of its current oblia,a-
tons and los "a grains of pure silver over,
Consequently. when 1t bought three ounces
OF silver it had three times los "a grains
OF silver more than was necessary 10 coin
three dollars, which would be S26l-4 grains.
or within forty-fve grains of enough 10
make fourth dollar. If. therefore It took
forty-hve grains from the los 81 grains of
extra silver IN the next ounce, and added
II TO this S26 IA. IL would have enough sill
yer 10 make a fourth one of Major
Daniels dollars, and this extra silver in
each ounce is what is called the "seignor-
age"-Seignor, my lord. that is, power to
act according to sweet win. When all the
lOSA grains in the ounces OF silver that
the government has bought are added to-
gethei they win make about fifty millions
OF Major Daniels dollars, each one Of
which will contain 81 IA grains Of pure
silver worth about nifty cents, but each
one will. under the laws Of the land, pay
dollar OF the governments debt. and
the other 81 IA grains in each OF the
ounces Will also make another dollar that
viii do the same thing. Mr. Carlisle viii
add these los 81 grains together and coin
them into these short dollars and pay
the deficiency in the revenue with them
which will be very neat trick indeed,
and this is ''coining the seignorage."
You will perceive that every time the
government buys three ounces at seventy
cents an ounce IT gets enough silver
for S2.l0 to make three dollars and It
also gets three times JOS IL grains besides,
or S26 IA grains Now. II II buys forty
aye grains more, which It can do for g. "a
cents, II will be able to manufacture an
other OK these silver dollars, SO that by
spending s2.le "a II will get four whole dol
lars. We have never known any scheme
TOT making money to beat it.

loved pastor.
Mr.. Maynihan has made the bust OF
DR.. Hoge In plaster Of paris. one retaining

Another very good likeness is represent
ed by the bust OF Captain Thomas Elicit.
the secretary Of the institute. which has
also been executed by Mr.. Maynihan.

merous admirers
The latest work OF art from the hands

theatrical Bnsinesss in Richmond.

Mr.. Thomas G. Leath. in speaking
or the theatrical business In Richmond,
sent the following letter to the New
York Herald. which was published Sun
day:
In your issue yesterday, under the
heading OF Poor Business at all Thea
tres, you say, In Richmond the bust
ness Is so bad that travelling companies
are cancelling their time right and left. >
This, II not contradicted, will seriously
interfere with my business. IL it does not
do so In any event. The facts are just
the opposite I am the manager OF the
leading theatre here and my business
Is as good this season as IL has been In
past seasons, certainly no worse. and
nearly every attraction that has played
at my house has made money for me as
We'll as for itself. Nearly all OF my season
was booked by September LIST. and the
only cancellations are as follows; One
company stranded. one company / can
celled, as found II would not suit. and
one company produced new play which
was not a success. In Norfolk the season
has been much better than IL has ever
been. I hope In justice TO my business
you Will make the above corrections"

POPE LEO and 4MERICA
His Eminence Says the Catholic Church
Has Nothing to Hide.


Cardinal Gibbons preached an interest
ing sermon at the cathedral yesterday
morning, says the Baltimore Herald Of
yesterday. 1t was more definition of the
Pope's Americanism than anything else
and, coming from the prince Of the Church
IN this country, will be read with a pecu-
liar interest.
High mass was first celebrated by Mon
slgnCr Sbdretti, auditor Of the Papal dele
cation IN the United States. The car
dinal pretaced his remarks with a re-
Terence 10 the recent celebration OF the
twenty-ffth year OF mis- episcopacy.
lie said IN part.
Il offer my sincere thanks 10 all who
participated In my recent jubilee. My
first intention was not TO celebrate the
event an any elaborate manner, but the
clergy of the diocese did not agree with
me. They thought that the absence of a
celebration might be taken TO imply that
the clergy were Indifferent toward me.
When learned that the Holy Father
wished me 10 make the occasion memora-
bic and sent me a gift and letter which
l prize most highly, I determined 10 in
vest the celebration with all the solemnity
possible. i desire to thank Almighty
God, without whose sanction all enter
prises are vain, for the successful carry
ing out Of our plans. l am very grateful
70 the press Of the country which sent
out reports Of the proceedings and parti-
cularly 10 the press Of the city Of Balti-
more, which entered into the occasion
with so much zeal and heartiness. 1
wish 10 thank the laity and more particu-
larly the members Of the congregation; the
clergy or the diocese, whose affection to-
ward me / dearly treasure, and the epis-
eopate OF the country, my honOred col
leagues who came from the South, East
North ard West. even from the Pacific
Coast. at no little personal inconvenience.
And, lastly l desire TO heartily express
my thanks 10 the Holy Father, Pope Leo
NIL, who has given special ecat to the
occasion by mis- gift and letter. And In
this connection, l may be allowed to say
Few words as 10 Pope Leo's relations
TO this country. l believe il Is generally
conceded that the Pope is very popular
person In the United States outside OF
those who honor him as the head OF the
Church. They revere him for his personal
virtues; they admire him for his states
manship, and they are affectionate toward
him for his beneyolence and spirit of hu
manity as man. These are some OF the
reasons why he has won the hearts Of the
American people
There are three principles which endear
Leo 70 the people OF this country. First
on all the principle OF self-goyernment
they believe In government OF the people
through their chosen representatives. They
have tried this system through eleven de-
cades OF years and II has been eminently
successful. Now, Leo. bound as he Is 10 ali
nations or the earth hv tia fiAs af reugion.

Richmond, Nov G. 1898.
Mr.. Jones viii be very much surprised
at the charges made against him in The
State OF to-day and will doubtless think
them unjust and untrue But this IS no
marvel. Men are often self deceived.
They don't know themselves as others
know them. He is one Of the moneyed
men In Cartersville Ga. He has mills and
stocks, l understand In his first sermon
here in Broad-Street church, ne said,
Men say am rich, but / am only worth
the paltry sum Of $500" Here is con-
tempt for competency and proof positive
Of greed for greater gainsi John Wesley
said, If / die worth flO0 say / am an
infdel." Jones says II l die poor say
am fool. Brother Jones do l offend
you because l tell you the truth?" Plain
ness OF speech is form Of rhetoric on
which you claim a patent. I advise you
to give the drunkard a little time for
reflection, and preach against the Love
OF money the root OF all evil" Drink is
not the root of all the ills Of man. The
love Of money ''pierces' him through with
many sOrrows." IL is the canker sin In
the world 1t eats out all love Of God and
man. II invaded the apostolic college and
is found now In the. sacred desk IL
browns men in destruction and per-
ditlon" This is a good theme. Christ
himself said il is almost impossible for a
money-loYer 10 get to heaven. Have you
thought well on this? 1 speak as 10 a
wise man. Judge vel The Bible plainly
teaches that many preachers even will
be lost. To those who shall claim 10 have
cast out devils" In Christs name, He
Will reply depart l never knew you"
Paul says a man may preach TO others
and himself become a castaway. The poor
litle sermon, l ask no pay for. though 1
paid something for those I heard from
you. as we'll as for your book Of sermons.
All / ask Is that you be better man
and put your talents 10 a wiser use, and
may God incline your heart TO keep his
law.
