Carlisle Proposed to Issue $4,000, 900
Of Short Time Gold
Bonds.
They Were Not Acceptable to New York
Bankers, Who Made Counter
Proposals.
These, However, We're Not Acceptable
to Carlisle, and Were Rejected
by Him.

NEW YORK, April 20. The Tribune
says that at the conference held here
between Assistant Treasurer Jordan
and number of leading New York
bankers, the former presented a propo-
htion In writing from Secretary Car
Isle for gold loan of $50, 000,OO0 The
governments scheme is in the nature of
a collateral per cent loan, that is, it
offers to issue form of bond running
for 10 years, but redeemable at the OPP
ton of the government within one
year, paying 3 per cent interest, and
redeemable in gold.
This sort of bond, of course, would
not be saleable, or indeed in any way
serviceable to the banks as form of
investment. 1t would be nothing bet
ter than security for the money adj
vanced.
Not Satisfactory to Bankers.
In this form the governments offer
was not acceptable to the bankers.
They were practically agreed in requir-
ing that the loan should be made on a
bond which could be put on the market,
and they recommended that at least half
the sum demanded, or $25, 900, 900, be
obtained from Europe, thus recovering
some of the gold that has been SO freely
shipped out during the last few weeks.
At the conferences between Mr.. Jordan
and the bankers many suggestions were
made, many notifications of the presi-
dents plan proposed, and most Of them
reduced to writing. These will be acted
on at future meeting of the financiers,
the date of which has not been made
public.

the late war on the field of Malvern Hill.
was in the battle and more terrific
engagement never witnessed. But that
is not the exact time to which refer.
About year after the battle was fought
my regiment was ordered out into the
naighborhooa of the same old field. We
went over the very same ground, and
there in the open field, exposed to the
torrid sun, were bleaching the bones of
our comrades who fell in that awful en-
gagement. It was sight l shall never
forget. On every side lay a waste of
skulls-skulls of almost every shape and
size-a modern Golgotha.
""We could not Identify them, however
and could only gaze with a feeling OF
sorrow on the aggregate pile of human
heads that had once been full Of life and
feeling. After the deeper emotions ex.
cited by the spectacle had worn away ]
thought of the infinite variety of shapes
that were presented by the heap. There
were no two of the same shape or size,
and it was rather a matter of curious
though melancholy interest to inspect
the different skulls as they lay crum-
bling in the sultry atmosphere of that
August day. Atlanta Constitution.

THE TWENTY ouEsTloNsv GAME.

/
An Interesting Diversion Tor q Whole
Roonaf.l Of Clever People.
Among the most acceptable games for
small companies is the game of Twenty
Questi2ps," a great favorite with the
English. al hough not widely known
here
The requisites for Twenty Questions"
are, first, two rooms, that the company
may be divided into two sides. The di-
vision of the guests may be done by their
selecting one of two colors in bells, balls
or ribbons, or by the choosing of sides
after the old fashioned spelling school
style. The hostess must see to it that
there be an even division of the objects
and exactly the same number as there
are guests, in order to prevent the leav-
ing out of O friend or other awkward
mistakes. Two leaders or spokesman
should be chosen, the host being natu-
rally one of them, and it will also save
further mishaps if the second leader be
previously serected and given the idea of
the game.
The sides being selected either by
drawing Of ribbons or by choice of the
leaders, method which has it's awk-
ward side where there are people sensi-
tive to being the last chosen in COM
pany-each side retires to its own room
and selects an object which it's opponents
are to discover by the asking of 20 ques-
lions, or as many less than that number
as may be. A scribe is chosen for each
tide to keep record of the questions and
and answers by numbers, that no con-
fusion may arise from misunderstood
questions or replies. To this end each
scribe should keep tally on two sheets of
paper-the questions of his own side
with the respective answers on one, and
the opponents questions and the replies
of his own side on the other.
The object selected may be inanimate,
animate, ancient, modern or historical,
may exist in fact or fiction, the only
qualification being that it shall be suf-
fciently well known so that a majority
of the players on the other side may be
supposed to have seen or read about it.
A spirit of fairness should of course be
shown in the selection of objects, and in
each case the answers should be honest
and not hairsplitting, although giving as
little information as possible. Such OBJ
jects as Ben Franklin's loaf of bread,
which he carried under his arm as he
walked up Market street in Philadelphia,

ment, the last rail laid on a local rail-

Saved by . Thoughtful Dog
One evening Mr.. W. J. Wilson Of King
was leaving Tottenhsm by the road lead
ing to the west. He must needs, there
fore, cross the railroad. In doing SO the
horse SHE'D, and Mr.. Wilson was thrown
across the track so violently that he was
stunned.
Old Rover, owned by Mr.. John Will
son, bailiff, was making one Of his noe
turnal perambulations through the town
about 1 o'clock-no doubt doing duty as
night Waterman. Crossing the track, he
noticed the unfortunate individual and
Immediately set out to alarm Mr.. G. A.
Nolan, who resides in the nearest house
to the track. Here he barked and whined
until Mrs. Nolan arose to chase him
away, but he only returned to continue
his howlings. Mr.. Nolan then conceived
the idea that something might probably
be wrong about the mill, as Rover often
visited them there during the day and
was well acquainted with the premises
He Immediately dressed, went outside
and found the dog ready to lead toward
the mill. Their way led across the track
but when they got that far Royer'S
course was directed up the track tC
where the unconscious man lay. When
Mr.. Nolan arrived on the scene, he saw
the cause of the dogs trouble and took
the unfortunate man to his house, where
with good care and proper attention, he
revived. In half an hour freight train
went laundering by.-Cor. Toronto Mail

English Field Sports.

The matter Of wire fencing and the
kindred difficulty of dealing with i'm.
mense fields of horsemen are so often
thrashed out in the papers devoted to
field sports that it is not necessary to
enter into them here. Masters of hounds
are now willing to pay for taking up
wire before the hunting season begins,
and to put it down again in the spring
The difficulties caused by large fields
will have somehow to be overcome,
either by oeasing to advertise meets or
by making it understood. chow, perhaps,
1t is not very easy to say that those who
come out will have to pay for their
sport, an idea which, while it Is COM
monty acted upon by residents, is often
overlooked by visitors.
Field sports in the British islands are
for the most part artificial, but hunting
is entirely SO. If 1t was not for the ten
der care which, in England at any rate,
is taken of the fox, he would soon become
as extinct as the wolf. Coverts are plant
ed for him on dry sunny hillsides; his
breed is improved by judicious crossing
with strangers from the north, and in a
good hunting country keepers are sup
posed at any rate to look after his COM
fort and to consider him almost as much
belonging to their family as do their
pheasants. In district which is suita-
BILE in every way for game, but which is
not preserved, it is always exceedingly

NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.


Another Fact About the Gold Re
serve.
WASHINGTON, April ga fact not
generally known in connection with the
gold reserve is brought out by Repre-
sentative o. NJ. Hall, of the Third Min
nesota district. ''As a matter of fact, "
says Mr.. Hall, "there is not an actual
800, ZOO, 900 reserve fund in the treasury
but only about S54,000,O00. The re-
demption law Of 1875 author
lied the sale of bonds for
the purpose Of redeeming the
greenbacks. Under that law the gov
eminent sold So, 600, 900 Of bonds. 1t
has used in round numbers $40, 600, 900
of this fund in redeeming greenbacks,
leaving in the treasury $54, ZOO, 900 of
the proceeds Of the sale of these bonds,
which by law is specifically set aside for
the purpose of redeeming greenbacks
only. -..-.-.u.
Has a Right to Use 1t.
''It seems to me that the government
has the unquestioned right to use all of
the SAC, 100000 in round numbers, sur
plus over the redemption fund set aside
for the bonds for the purpose of re-
deeming the treasury notes issued
for the purchase of silver, but I do
not see how the S54,0O0,0O0 can be
applied to that purpose. The
redemption act of 1875 still leaves with
the secretary of the treasury the power
to issue bonds for the purpose of re-
deeming the greenbacks, but neither
that law nor any other of which I am
connizant gives him any authority to
issue bonds for the purpose of redeem
ing the treasury notes.
