CARLISLE'S LATEST.
Would Issue Silver Certificates of Small
Denomination in Place of Treasury
Notes.

. Washington, January 2l.-Much.i ter
est was impaired to the session of the
House committee on appropriations to
day, by the presence of Secretary Car
Isle. Since 1886, the sundry civil APP
preparation bill has contained a section
providing for the issue of notes in place
OF those cancelled. This provision re-
quires the Secretary of the Ire asury to
ISSUE in place of notes destroy ed, others
of exactly the same denominations. &C.
rotary Carlisle today appeared today be-
fore the House appropriations committee
and protested against the requirement
which he characterized as a hindrance
to the treasury. He advocated changing
the regulation to allowsthe Secretary of
the Treasury to issue in place Of the
notes destroyed, notes of whatever de-
nomination he considered best He said
that since the passage of the act in 1886,
which authorized the issue of silver GER
tificates of less denomination than $40,
this provision had seemed to him direct
ly contrary to what should be the policy
OF the government. Its effect was to
prevent the issue and circulation of sill
yer certificates of small denominations
If we could convert small United States
and other notes received at the treasury
into large United States notes, it would
make room for small silver certificates,
and we could therefore issue a large
amount ofsss1nall notes that remain out
standing among people, and if they con-
sist of treasury notes they occupy the
whole field and keep silver certificates
out, whereas if we have million dollars
of United States notes of small denomi-
nations, by converting them into large
notes we can put million dollars OF
small silver certificates .in..their place. !.
At present we are receiving about
forty per cent of revenue in New York
city in. silver certificates. although this
currency constitutes less than one-ffth
of the entire currency outstanding. At
times as high as SO per cent of revenue
are received in silver certificates. The
change proposed by Secretary Carlisle
will give him authority to issue small
denomination notes, which will give a
greater amount of currency to the people.

EXPERT BURGLARS
Made a Fat Haul from a Norwich Store
They Are Supposed to Have Taken
$500.

Norwich, Conn.,. January d. The
Boston store, owned by Reed & Hughes,
was robbed last night by professionals,
and the contents of the safe taken, also
a large quantity of fine silks. The thieves
entered by the rear window, from which
the iron bars were wrenched. Getting
inside, they did not touch the door, for
fear of burglar alarm, but cut hole
through the partition and fire-proof
door to reach the main store. They put
bolt upon the front door inside, and
took off the lock of the safe and secured
all the money taken after banking
hours Saturday, except the AMOUNT re-
quired to pay off the clerks. The firm
were having clearance sale, and the
receipts were large. Adam Reed, who
conducted the Norwich store, was in
New York, and no statement of the
amount of the loss is obtainable. 1t is
believed to exceed 81 $780,

"She is not out, " said Darcal, earnestly.
"Let us go in"
Darcal took hold of the mans arm and
gently urged him up the stairs.

the apartment, heavy with the odor of
lilacs. They could hear the little clock on
the mantel ticking steadily.

Darcal struck match and gradually the
yellow light pervaded the room, revealing
the form of woman outstretched upon
the floor with her face upturned. Darcal
waited until the sulphur of the match had
burned away, and then he lighted the gas.
Darcal and the man looked down into
the woman's face. The eyes were wide
open now, staring up at Darcal, and there
was sinister smile on her lips-a CHASTITY
smile, smile of triumph and satisfied
vengeance.

man.

bear could not reach her.
This is thing my people will be
glad to know" said En-dow.
The sun climbed up to a high place in
the sky and En-dow grew faint by reason
of hunger She shut her eyes, thinking
that death was near.
In her ears sounded a voice, stronger
than the voice of the squirrel, and very
sweet.

the voice. Because thou hast shown

Thereupon the dove flew down between
the rocks and dropped a grain OF blue
maize into En-dow's hand; other doves
and white and yellow.
En-dow, lying in the hole she had
digged, protected from the water by the
wall she had builded ate of the maize
grains grains very sparingly; .,;,,u
This, she said, will be good thing
for my people to have"
All day the bear stood by the rocks,
making no sound; all night he climbed
about, growing to himself and oftentimes
thrusting great paw between the rocks.
When the sun rose again the bear spoke:
He was angry, and his voice was LOUD

planted seed, then is the great bear likely
to live forever hungry
Swinging his heavy head from side to
side, the bear left that place and climbed
up among the rocks of the mountains.
En- dow came forth from her place Of
refuge. She sought her people, and find
ing them, taught the women to mix clay
with water thereby building walls for
protection and for the guiding of the
waters of the mountain streams. The
maize grains were planted, and on the
produce of the fields many were fed.

Chinese Games

Many games are played in China on
boards and diagrams, the moves being
made by throwing dice. In one of these,
called the table of the promotion of Off
cials, y" large sheet of paper is used, on
which are printed the titles of various Off
cias and dignitaries of the Chinese gov
ernment Players are advanced or set
back according to their throws. The
story told about the invention of this
game is that the Emperor Kienling, A. D.
1850, was walking at nghtfall among the
houses occupied by candidates for a trien-
NAL examination at Pekin. Hearing
the sound of dice-throwing in one
of the dwellings, he sent for the
cuse, told the monarch that he had con-
structed cart on which were written the
titles belonging to all the official positions
in the government. He said that he and
his friends threw dice, traversed the
board according to their throws, and
were thus impressed with the knowledge
of the various ranks and steps leading to
official advancement. The Emperor COM
manded him to bring the cart for his in
spection. That night the unfortunate
student whose excuse was fiction Great
ed on the spur of the movement, sat, pen
ell in hand, until daybreak, and made a
chart, which he carried to the Emperor.
The latter was pleased with the diligence
of the scholar, who improved his mind
while amusing himself, and dismissed
him with many concentrations. i Lon

A HEROINE OF CHEAP BREAD
Margaret Haughery Broke the New Orleans
Bread Trust,

Bread Trust.
Several years ago fight for cheap break
was inaugurated by Margaret Hughery
of New Orleans. Strangely enough she
was a baker and had large business. She
began the fight against the league Of bak
ers from purely philanthropic motives.
Orphaned at an early age, she had q hard
struggle with poverty, and when her hus-
band died the wealth accumulated by
their combined energies was mainly de-
voted to charities. She had been be-
friended by the city when a child in
want, and concluded that she owed some
thing to the people Of that city, who had
befriended her.
The city authorities had in vain endea-
vored to secure full-weight bread. Mar
garet, as she was locally known, had al
ways given full weight and from her
IA presently to each purchaser, in the
shape Of candies and sweetmeats, ETC.,
especially to children. Her trade largely
increased, and finally she reduced the
price from five to four cents loaf, giving
full weight. Six tickets were sold for
change. with present of candy or sweet
crac kers to the purchaser for lagniappe or
good measure"
This broke the trust, and until Margar-
ct S death the people OF New Orleans had
cheaper bread and full weight The city
erected statue in memory Of Margaret
Haughery, near where her bakery stood.
1t is situated in little grassy plot OF
ground at the intersection Of Camp and
Prytonia streets, now the most aristocratic
American residential quarter Of the Cres-
cent City. 1t is the white marble figure
of woman, life-size, seated in chair
with shawl around her shoulders, and
one arm thrown around the neck of an
infant child-typifying the ''Orphan's
Friend, )" her friendship for orphan chill
dren giving her that appelation. The
monument bears the single inscription,
Margaret, and it faces the Female Or
phan Asylum. She contributed largely
towards the establishment and mainten-
ance of this asylum. After acquiring a
fortune she gave her income each year,
to the several orphan asylums in New Or
leans without regard to religious sect, and
on her death, several years ago, she be-
queathed her entire fortune to the support
of the orphan asylums of the city. She
could neither read nor write, but was
woman of most excellent judgment and
practical humanitarian ideas.
This is said to be the only statue in the
United States erected to the memory of a
woman. Some have been memorialized
by bas-reliefs, but none has been similarly
honored as Margaret Haughery of New
Orleans, the heroine of the fight for cheap
and honest bread.
