NEW YoRB, July 24-The treasury de-
partment at Washington has instructed
Collector Hendricks that hereafter the GER
tihcai u the Chinese consul at this port,
Chan Cnang Tseng, will not be received in
proof Of Identification Of any Chinaman
who has gone from this country to China
and wishes to come in again.
TO understand the force of this order
one must remember that no Chinese labor.
eas are admitted to this country under the
law, which also prohibits the return OF
Chinese laborers formerly domesticated
here, Merchants and all others than la
borers coming for the first time to this
country must under the law have a GER
tificate from the Chinese government GER
tifying their standing Those resident
here who desire to leave the United States
and return must provide themselves with
proof Of their identity.
A this port the custom has been that
the Chinese consul gives a merchant who
desires to go to China and return a proof
Of his standing. The consul has hereto
fore issued a certificate over his official
seal, containing a minute description Of
the merchant and other pertinent facts
The person and those who have identified
him chen go TO the office of the collector of
this port, where the certificate is viewed
just as a passport would be
The effect OF this new order, now made
public for the first time, will be that every
Chinese merchant who desires to go abroad
and return will have to do so at his own
risk, and will have to take the burden Of
proof of his identity on himself
The rest of the new order was that these
certificates had been perverted from their
legal purposes-had been used to evade
the very law that they were to enforce.
There can be little doubt that about two
hundred Of these certificates were annually
carried by the Chinese consul to the
Weather merchants of this city, who
used them to enable such of their country
men as were debarred by the law to go to
China and to return.

KNoXvILLE, July PA desperate fight
occurred between two prominent citizens
Of Sevir county-Robert McMahon and
Robert Cation. Eighteen pistol shots were
fired, and Cation was struck by six, nearly
every one of which in itself would have
proved fatal He fell and expired in an

knife, which was struck by a shot from an
English bulldog revolver. The cause of
the difficulty was the undue intimacy of
Cation with McMahon's wife.

OF certain New York clubman,
the Recorder tells that he became
desperately enamored of charming
widow. She was not unmindful Of
his passion, and invited him down to
dine at her place. He was something

dowed with the acumulations of her

delicious little dinner which should
make him appear at his very best
when it came to putting the momen-
tous question. But when they were
at table, and she served him only cold
ham, jelly, tea, and lemonade, his
heart fell. He had never made love
after dinner like that, and he could
not rekindle the flame. 1t was no go,
and he gave it up. AS he was max
ing his adieux, the widow asked, with
seemingly simplicity; "My dear Mr..
W, how does one get into New
York society,"" His opportunity had
come. 1t was a mean advantage,
but he took it, as he replied "By
not serving lemonade at dinner"
And he hurried to the station.

Her Best.

Mrs Wordsworth, who writes
moving article in the volume en-
titled "Woman's Work" concerning
the necessity of obtaining "fun, food
and fresh air" for all classes Of
children says that there are among
London's poor thousands of little
ones who never had toy.
Yet still the child's instinct to
make believe" surmOunts every
practical obstacle, and there is a true
story of one little sufferer from a
chronic disease whose only playthings
were the spots Of damp on the wall
beside her bed. She played they were
real and alive; she gave them names
and imaginary qualities.
Another true story shows how far
the little candle of a wise and loving
word may throw its beams. A
teacher at a Sunday school for Lon
dons poor was trying to impress up
on her little pupils some idea Of the
real meaning of giving.
whatever it may be-" she said,
"our Offering to God should be of our
best, Of what we prize most" -
In one baby heart her words found
ready response. Next day a little
creature confided her Offering to the
teacher; it was a carefully tied
package, containing a few grains of
rice. This was her most precious and
perhaps her only treasure.

coins, which would otherwise be melted
for use in the arts Coin silver is
90-100 fine; sterling is slightly better,
or 925-1 900 fne-such being the legal
makeup of British silver pieces.
Deposits of silver.
Whereas gold is found pretty nearly
everywhere-in sea water, in sand, in
rocks quite generally-silver is an ele-
ment not often come across, compare
lively speaking. 1t readily combines
with all sorts of other elements, and
thus ordinarily occurs in the shape OF
chlorides, sulphates, and carbonates,
being seldom discovered native" or
pure. Produced by nature in such
shapes, it is not pretty to look at, the
richest ore sometimes resembling blue
sand. That is one reason why it was
utilized to only very small extent by
the American aborigines up to the lime
of Columbus. They knew little of it,
though some of their ornaments were
covered with plates of it, beaten very
thin.
The great deposits of silver in Ne
vada, Colorado, and elsewhere in the
world we're made by water That in
nocent element, percolating through
the earth, picked up out of the rocks
small particles of the metal and carried
them along in solution. Passing through
cracks and cavities the subterranear
currents deposited their loads of the
metal and thus, after thousands Of
years, pockets and assures were filled
with it. Sometimes these deposits
were enormous, as in the case of the
Big Bonanza, which was slice of ore
300 feet wide and of unknown depth
extending across the famous Com

and the books and money balanced ex-
actly; when the Republican party came !
into power in 1889 the count was founV
to be exactly what the books showed it
TO be in the vaults, and upon the turn
ing over of the treasury to the treasu-
rer the money was again counted, and
the accounts found to be correct.
OF course each silver dollar is not
counted, neither is each gold piece. A
bag of silver contains 1000 silver dol
lars and should weigh sixty pounds, so
in counting the money bag of silver
is placed on the scales and if up to
weight, the bag is counted as $1,000,
but if the silver dollars have lost in
weight by the wear of circulation then
the bag is opened and every dollar
counted so that there will be no posi-
bility of mistake.
Silver in the Bible.
The first mention of silver occurs in
the Bible, where Ephron values his
field at 400 shekels of silver, which are
weighed out to him by Abraham. It
is stated later on that Josephs broth
ers sold him for twenty pieces of the
same metal. Silver and gold were
used by weight long before they were
coined. The ratio at which they were
first coined was the ratio at which thew
had previously gone into use hy weight.
In Greece and the Greek cities of Asia
Minor the ratio was l3 to l, but it fell
to 10 to l after the conquest of Athens.
In ancient times gold was the variable
metal; it huctuatad greatly in value,
while silver was always the CONNER
cial standard. Here are few unclassi-
fed facts concerning silver: The total
production of silver since 1900 is reck-
oned at 400,000,000 pounds. The ring"
of silver is best initiated in
counterfeit by an admixture of pow
dered glass with base metal. The sill
yer dollar of 1904 is worth 5000: the
silver quarter of 1927 is worth S4O;l
the half-dime of 1902 is worth $50: the
fve-cent silver piece of 1872 is worth
$50, and the dime of 1904 is worth 81.
What would happen if the United
States Treasury would throw its stock
of silver on the market? The most
frightful financial panic that has ever
been seen would ensue. The $500, 000,-
000 worth of the metal now held by the
Treasury more than equals the present
circulation of silver in the world. Such
action on the part of this Government,
happily impossible, would almost de-
stroy this substance as money, reduc-
ing it to the statue of a base metal.
After all, it is only rarity that makes
value. If gold were as plentiful as
iron it would fetch no higher price.

Bullion In the MINIS.

Uncle Sam is carrying a heavy load
of silver just now. Being dead
weight" the stock of the metal now on
his hands would burden 100000 able
bodied men. Sustaining 100 pounds
each and marching six feet apart, they
would stretch in single file'350 miles,
or as far as from Baltimore to Boston.
Stacking their freight in single heap,
they would find that its total bulk was
l25, 1000 cubic feet. Transported by rail,
it would require thirty trains of TWEEN
ty-five cars each, each car taking
twenty tons The silver-mine owners
sell their ore TO the smelling and re-
fning works; the latter sell the metal
in bricks to the dealers in bullion, who
dispose of them at the best price they
can get. What they cannot sell to Uncle
Sam they dispose Of in London, which
Is the world market for silver. Under
the Sherman laws which recently
caused so much discussion, the Treas
ury bought $4,000 600 ounces of silver
T-every month. On three days in each
week the Director of the Mint received
bids from dealers in bullion who wished
10 sell the commodity to Uncle Sam.
Offers had to be sent in before l o'clock
p. m. They came by telegraph-near-
ly all of them between 1870 and
O'clock, because the silver merchants
wished to take advantage of the latest
quotations. The kilograms were re-
corded in book, and those bids were
accepted which seemed reasonable.
The Treasury at Washington never
handles any bullion. All of it is kept
at the minis. In the great coin factory
on Chestnut street, Philadelphia, is
now stored SlOl. coo. 900 in silver bricks.
Uncle Sam owns at present almost ex-

Dis appearance of Silver and Gold.

Nobody has ever been able to explain
what becomes of all the silver and gold
produced in the world. The total loss
of both these substances from ship
wreck. fire and wear and tear has been
reckoned at 81 100000 per annum. The
entire amount of silver now in the pos
session of mankind is only equal to
what has been produced during the
last eighty years. What has been the
fate of the great balance? The white
treasures of past centuries-where are
they? 1t is an unsolved mystery. At
the beginning of the Christian era the
precious metals in the Roman empire
amounted to 81, $4,000 600. This store
shrunk so rapidly during subse-
Quent centuries that at the date Of the
discovery of America the stock of sill
yer and gold money in Europe did not
exceed one-tenth Of the sum mentioned.
The depleted currency OF the old
world was made full again by supplies
from the new. To-day America fur
nishes nearly all of the silver used
by the inhabitants of the globe The
great source of supply is what geolo-
gists term the Cordilleran system, en-
bracing the Rocky Mountain region, the
Mexican plateau and the Andean chain
of South American. In fact, the metal
