of the few men in the present Con-

THE NEW BUhO looU-.
Mr.. Carlisle Assures intending Purchasers
as to His Authority.

New YORK, Jan. 29-John G. Carlisle,
secretary Of the treasury, is here, at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. He made public last
night the following statements
1T has been enormously published in
some newspapers that the committee on
the judiciary of the house of representa-
tives had agreed to and reported resolu-
ton denying the authority of the secre-
tary of the treasury to issue and sell
bonds, as proposed in his recent circular,
and these publications have evidently
made an unfavorable impression upon
the minds of some who contemplated
making bids for these securities.
This resolution assumed that the au-
thority to issue bonds was conferred upon
the secretary OF the treasury by the act Of
Jan 10, 1873, and that such authority still
exists, but it asserts that the proceeds of
the bonds cannot be lawfully used except
for the purpose of redemption. Mr.. Bailey,
the author Of the resolution, distinctly ad-
mitted the existence of the authority. Mr.
Bailey said: The resolution does not inn
peach your right to issue bonds; it eX.
pressly recognizes IT,, but questions your
| right TO apply the proceeds to any purpose
except those specified in the act
"The judiciary committee of the house
examined and reported upon this same
question during the Fifty-second con
gress, and it then conceded that the
authority existed under the act of 1875.
| The question as to the authority of the
secretary of the treasury to use the money
in any particular manner or for any par
| ticular purpose. is wholly distinct from
the question as to his authority to issue
and sell the bonds. No matter what he
may do with the money the validity of
the bonds will not be affected, and there
| is, therefore, no reason why any one
! should hesitate to invest in these secur-
tiles on the ground that the proceeds
might possibly be used for other than re
| demption purposes"

age, when he went into business with Mr.
Peterson under the firm name of r. b.
Peterson & CO. The only interval in his
business career was fifteen months in the
United States navy when he was 49,
One of the first successful books pub
lished by Peterson & Childs was Dr. Kane's
Arctic Explorations" Mr.. Childs thus
told the story of its publication; 1T did
not look at first as though we had made a
wise venture. When the work was ready
to issue took a sample copy and went
over to New York to solicit orders from
the leading booksellers, The largest house
would only give me small order. 'Mr.
Childs,' they said, you won't sell more
than a thousand copies altogether They
ordered at first only few hundred copies,
but soon after sent for 5000 more to meet
the demand. Within one year after the
publication we paid DR.. Kane a copyright
of nearly S70, ,0OO."
Then the firm got out Brownlow's book,
selling 30. 600 copies in advance. This
was another remarkable success which
was followed by others not far behind.
In 1854 Mr.. Childs purchased The Pub
! lie Ledger. Il had been running for years
as penny paper, but the increased cost
of production had made it a losing invest
ment. Speaking of this Mr. Chllds said
at was not generally known, of course
| that the establishment was then losing
about $3.50 upon every number OF the papel
which it issued. To all appearances it wa
as prosperous as ever. The circulation wa
| great The columns were crowded witt
advertisements. Yet, as a matter of fact
there was IA weekly loss Of 5000, or tl5O,
600 year"
Mr.. Childs had good business judgment
but it required something more than 1udg
ment to pay $3.50, 600 for piece of propert!
losing that amount annually-it requires
/ pluck. The owner at the end Of the frs
week doubled the price and advanced tn

The following has been received by

Crawford county, well known in the
political circles Of Pennsylvania. 1t
will certainly interes. many readers:
1--WE are having rather too much Of
the Democratic times to suit us, but to
tell the truth about it, am glad Of it,
1 only hope we will get down to real
old. fashioned British free trade, sim
ply as a means Of educating the rising
generation. would be willing TO go
barefoot, wear tow breeches, linsey-
woolsey shirts and eat corn bread and
molasses, a Ia free trade style, for the
next three years for the satisfaction of
knowing that the fellows responsible
for Cleveland's election and a Demo
cratic Congress were doing the same
Thing. In other words, want to
floor the liars and demsgogues who
went up and down the country in the
campaign of 1892, lying to the work
ingmen by telling them that they were
being robbed by protection. The
chaps resp )nsible for deceiving the
people ought to be tied in a chain gang
and set to work improving the roads
The corn and molasses diet would be
sufficient punishmentfo for their dupes."

sensation in the big dining room at the
penitentiary yesterday, when Convict
John Conroy rose in the presence of the
1900 prisoners seated at breakfast and an
nounced his intention of taking his own
life Conroy slashed the side of his face
with the knife with which he had been

poured in stream over his shoulder. He
was taken to the hospital, where it was
found that the wound would not be fatal.
Conroy is serving five years for having
