PARCHMENT was in occasional use
from the earliest times, came into gen.
eral use about 200 B. c., and continued
until the invention OF printing.
ROMAN books were often composed
OF q number Of pages OF wood strung
together with O cord passed through o
hole in the corner Of zach block.
MANY early books had no title pages,
but in the center of the first page ap-
peared q short paragraph setting
forth the character and contents OF the
work.
SEVERAL books Of the second and
third centuries have leaden leaves.
One such, in the British Museum, has
six leaden leaves, with hinges and a
clasp.
The process OF book-making has,
from time immemorial, been so cheap
In China that q book OF twenty-five or
thirty pages Is rarely sold for more
than l cent.
In 1850 stereotype plates for book
work were rendered more durable by
protecting them by a covering OF cop
per, this being laid on by an electro
type process.

Onyx tables were OrnamenteG by dainty
bouQu Quets of violets in cut glass vases, smi-
lax and trailing vines were festooned over
the chandeliers and around the hall, the
windows and doors being draped with
violet bunting. From profusion of vio-
let's banked up on the mantel peeped out
here and there little fairy lamps, while
the more stately banquet and piano
lamps, surinounted with their violet
colOred shades, shed mellow radiance
over the pretty scene.
4 mum Der of heecy-white rugs and
Turkish divans were scattered here and
there, and tea-tables set with finest linen
and dainty china, were presided over by
Native Daughters in evening costume, by
refreshments.
Concealed behind Japanese screens and
under festoons OF smilax and violet bunt-
ing, was Neale's orchestra, whose music
lent an additional charm to the pleasant
surroundings.
A spirit of od-felIowship and COR

ALLEGED GARROTING
An Ell Dorado Man Claimed to Have
Been the Victim.

Early on Saturday evening man from
El Dorado County went to an uptown
boarding house, where he was stopping,
and reported that he been stood up by a
couple of footpads on Q street, near
Tenth, and that they attempted to rob
him.
officer Hayes went out there and found
a young tough who was surrounded by a
crowd of citizens, and who was alleged to
be one of the footpads, the other having
made his escape.
He was taken to the police station,
where he was recognized as tough char
acter who recently came to the city. He
was arrested three weeks ago on suspi-
cion of having been engaged in some
crooked transaction, and then gave his
name as George White, and his age as II
years, though he looks to be two or three
years older.
The victim of the alleged garroting has
not shown up to identity him.

THE FALL OF SILVER,
A fall which has gone on ever since. In
spite OF many earnest conferences since
then, all attempts to obtain international
bimetallism have failed. The experience
of the Latin Union, which was early
forced to limit the coinage of silver. shows
conclus1vely that no one country can sup
port the system alone.
The only hope of bimetailism lies for the
future in some international agreement.
AT present the chances OF attaining such
an agreement looks small, but gleam of
hope comes from the extent of England's
interests in India, which is a silver-usng
country, and from the popular agitation
OF the question III Great Britain.
The United States started out in 1892
with system intended to be binetallic
with the ratio l to 10. But cheap silver
from the Spanish Main soon displaced ali
gold, and the early years were Oh silver
basis solely. Under pressure of the eX-
cltement due TO the discovery of gold in
South Carolina in 1894 the ratio was
changed to l to l6. At this ratio gold was
the cheaper metal and rapidly replaced
the silver. But owing TO the vast amount
OF paper mOney-WorthleSs State bank
AO6SS-MHlCA SuOTtly CAME lDlO clTCuId-
ton, the change was imperceptible.
In 1858 the gold standard, which had
been reached naturally with the increase
and consequent cheapening of gold due
to the opening of mines in Russia, Aus
tralia and California, was retained, and
silver was forbidden free coinage and
used only for subsidiary coins. The gold
standard was retained until the war.
Until 1873 the question was unimportant
because OF
THE PAPER CIRCULATION.
But with the resumption of specie pay
ment in that year the silver dollar was
dropped from the list of the legal coins OF
the country in recognition OF what had
been fact since lS49. namely, that gold
alone was the basis. When tie iall began
(lS76) shrewd spectators soon saw :hat
at the OLD ratio silver would be the
cheaper metal, and the cry was soon
raised, "Give US the dollar of our faith
ers."
Congress was Overrun with silver bills,
and in 1878 the Bland Act was passed,
which, while not restoring free coinage to
silver, authorized the monthly coinage OF
from two to four millions OF silver dol
lars.
The Sherman bill and it's repeal are too
recent history to need recapitulation.
The future of silver in this country
seems at present to depend on possibility
of international bimetallism. All meas
ures short of that would be certainly dis
astrous.
