INCREASING THE CIRCULATION.
Mint Director Preston Shows How 1t
Is Being Done by Coming Silver.
From the Atlanta Journal

Washington, D. c., Aug. IL showed
to Director of the Mint Preston, at the
treasury department this morning, an ed
itorial in the Atlanta Constitution of
Tuesday, headed Not a Dollars In
crease" in regard to coinage of silver
bullion. which is now going on.
He pronounced it false, and authorized
the following statement:
ION every dollar coined there is added
to the circulation 80 cents, exactly the
profit between the purchase and coinage
price of silver. This is known as the
'seigntorage' silver, and it a part of the
bullion being coined and added to the cir
culating medium of the country. In the
few days in which silver has been coined
S127,000 has been added to the money of
the people. The coinage of the bullion is
to be rapidly increased until it is all dis
posed OF, and practically one-fourth of
this, the seigniorage, enters into circula-
ton at once"
The total amount of seigniorage is about
S57000,000.
The contention of the Constitution that
the Secretary of the Treasury has no
authority TO coin the seigniorage is re-
garded here as too ridiculous to merit
serious attention.

FINED $500 BY THE RECORDER.
lizzie Lawrence Found Guilty of Two
violations of Liquor Ordinances.

Lizzie LawrSncS ouuo guilty OF Two
violations of Liquor Ordinances.
Lizzie Lawrence was fined 5000 by the
rscorder at a special session of the police
,ourt Yesterday afternoon. She was IN
able to appear at court in the morning.
and A special session was held for her
benefit in the afternoon. as one of the
yritnesses in the case was anxious to leave
the city
There were two charges against her.
one for selling liquor on Sunday and one
for selling without license. The evil
dance was considered conclusive. This
was one of the cases made by Mehaffv.
the special detective from Atlanta. who
sDent several weeks here, much to his
own profit and TO the great disgust
who were taken in by the young
policeman who was merely down from
Atlanta on his vacation and bent upon
having a good time. Detective Wooster,
also of Atlanta, was the main witness in
the case yesterday. The detective
claimed to be an innocent witness, who
was also taken in by Mehaffy, but there
is a suspicion in some quarters that he is
also in the employ of the city.
4 well-known saloonkeeper was also
down as witness having had the mis-
fortune to be in the place at the same
time with Mehaffy. He twas a very
unwilling witness, however. 1t is
supposed that Madam Lawrence will
be allowed to take out a license to retail
liquor and the fine RENTED by the mayor,
q precedent having been established in
this line in similar cases.
The case against Irene Hall for selling
without a license was postponed again.
The charge against her for contempt also
remains upon the docket.

MARRIAGE IN oLDEN TIMES.
An Affair Not of Love and Romance.
but of Bargain and Sale.
From Home Notes

To the young and romantic, who take
their ideas from the lays of the bard, the
thoughts suggested by the word "chiv-
airy" are delightful, and they sigh re-
gretfully over their sad lot in having to
live in this prosaic nineteenth century.
All is not gold that glitters. and distance
lends enchantment to the view, so per-
haps it is as well to know what history
says about those far-of golden days. In
spite of the poets, marriages, if they ever
were failure, certainly were in the
much-lauded days of chivalry; for, as a
rule, they were not the outcome of love,
and, therefore, conjugal fidelity was
hardly to be expected
In the reign of King John marriage was
simply matter of bargain and sale, and
natural inclination and affection had
nothing to do with the matter Sir
Alonzo the Brave might be victor in any
mum Der of tournaments hoping to win
thereby the hand of his love, but till he
had obtained the consent of his sovereign
for very high consideration he might
sigh for her in vain. Sir Percival was a
tenant of lands, and a chattel of the king,
and therefore ne was piece of merchan-
disc to be made the most of in the mar

gene, who in return was devoted to him.

the king. Had not Sir Philip Fitz Ste
phen offered the king a large sum of
money, and other presents as well, to have
the custody of the lands of Sir Percival
till he should come of age, and marry with
the consent of the king and archbishop
In this way the luckless Sir Percival was
torn from the sweet Imogene, and made
to wed bride of the house of Fitz Ste
phen, no matter how much he might dis
like her. In the highest ranks, vast sums

Northport, L. L, July 31.-For some in

Rosina, across his knee and spanked her

Charles Hesseman, who is employed in

getting to New York. On her return
Papa Hegeman attempted to repeat the
spanking. Just as he was about to begin

He waved marriage certificate under

bride slipped off his knee and chung to

Wong Chin Foo Predicts a Glorious
Victory for His People.
IL l..L.i j.


| Chinese scholar, philosopher and
writer was yesterday the guest of Quong
Sing Lung, popularity known as The
Judge" in Chinatown. The Judge resides
at 926 Race street. His guest, whose
name is Wong Chin Foo, is resident of
New York, and is we'll known for his con-
tributions to the literary world of this
country.
Speaking of the threatened war between
China and Japan, he said:
In the coming war between China and
Japan, for | take it that things have
gone too far now to be settled save by
the arbitration of arms, it will be the
stalwart Cinnamon from the conquering
north who will fight the battles and win
the victory.
There can be no question of the outcome
of war between China and Japan and
that outcome will be the utter defeat and
humiliation of the islanders. l say this
in spite of the learned predictions of
American newspaper writers, who say
that Japan has prohted by western teach
ings and is competent to handle effectively
the modern engines of war of western ma
tions, while conservative China has failed
to thoroughly adopt and learn the use of
these advantages
Even if this were true, and it is not.
China would eventually triumph by the
mere force and momentum of her bulk
She has the men and the money
Il am glad to see this war. 1t is the
beginning of the final and inevitabl
struggle between the Two masterful civ
ilizations; that Of the east and of the
west.
Japan, to be sure, is an oriental ma
ton, but not a virile one, and she has
succumbed to western influences and be-
came the entering wedge for the western
form of civilization into the east.
"China has a national history of at
least 4, 900 years and had a printed his
tory $500 years before an European dis
covered the art of type printing. In the
course of national existence she has
passed through mythology, superstition,
witchcraft, established religion, to philo-
sophical religion She has a population
of 400, 900, 600 and not single dollar of
national debt. There are more dollars
within her confines with which to buy
the weapons of peace or war than in all

Gent unto herself.

a century to settle has been fired when
the last has been fired there will be but
