GOSSIP INFORMATION

In the nth century the Chinese gov
eminent issued some paper currency.
Today there are probably but tive
notes Of that issue extant. One is II
the British museum, and the other il
the possession of the Oriental society
Of ST. Petersburg. These notes were
issued in the reign of Hung Woo, the
founder of the Ming dynasty, who died
in 1888 The face value of the note If
about dollar, and that issue of paper
currency was the only one ever guaran-
teed by the Chinese government. To
dav these notes are probably the rarest
and most valuable of currency issues
Nearly all note collectors and Chlnese
bankers are fully aware of their eXis-
fence and their value.

Tom Reeds Admission to the Bar.

The story of how Thomas b. Reed
was admitted to the bar when he went
to California fresh form his studies in
an eastern law office has had many
versions The San Francisco Argonaut
gives what it vouchcs for as the true
and authentic one. 1t seems when
Reed was to be examined Judge W. I.
Wallace was on the supreme bench,
and the candidate appeared before
him for examination. 1t was in the
early sixties and the country was con
vulsed with varying opinions ON the
| legal tender act. Judge Wallace asked
| the candidate: lis the legal tender
act constitutional" 1t is. sir, - was
the reply. You are passed, sir, - re
piled Judge Wallace at once; "any
young man who can decide grave con.
stitutional questions like that oil hand

A Kind Word For tho Sparrow.

The sparrow has several characteristics
that are altogether admirable. Very few
of the creatures who navigate tho air or
walk upon the ground show greater capac-
ity or Willingness to take care of them
selves The sparrow, like the despised
rat, has no little merit as a tiny scavenger,
and, like the rat, where man goes he fol-
lows
1t is SAFE to say nothing has been made
in vain. Even those creatures which are
esteemed by man as vermin have their
place and their use in the wise order Of
Providence. This is none the less true be-
cause we cannot penetrate the wisdom of
creation. Despite the persecution Of his
enemies and the vagaries of the weather,
it will be observed that the sparrow -four
ishes. The merciful men and women who
look after tho vagrant birds and dogs and
other creatures who mutely appeal 20 hui
man sympathy will not go without their
reward.-Philadelph Record.

I" Hands Across the Sea-"

Hands Across the Sea, which will
be presented at the Opera house. Friday
evening, Feb. Is, is au English melodrama
of the popular sort, full of sensation, but
also full of stir and action. All the
scenic details and mountlngs arc unusu-
ally we'll presented, so that there is good
deal to interest the popular eye as the
action progresses. The company is said
to be an excellent one. Mr. Henry Picrson
is an ideal scoundrel, being thoroughly
detestable as Robert Stillwood, even to the
half sheer with which he emphasizes every
particular bit of rascality. The play Is
having large audiences throughout the
New England states.

Excursions,

The excursion business worked up
by the Davenport & Rock Island

sentative, Jack Cook, appears to be
in its highest element just now.
Following the two big ones yesterday
and the dav before will come Sunday
one Of 1000 from Des Moines and
800 from Oskaloosa. Concerning
this the railway company says in its
circular advertisement to the excur-
sionists: "Stay on the train until it
reaches Twentieth street, Rock ISL
and, where you will find electric
trains waiting to take you through to
Watch Tower, from which point you
view the great Hennepin canal for
miles, as you are elevated 800 feet
above the river. A special agent OF the
Electric Railway company will be on
the train to escort the party to the
Watch Tower and answer questions.
The late rains have refreshed every
thing about this beautiful spot, aud
the scenery is truly grand. Come
and enjoy yourselves; we are pre-
pared to give you a great days pleas
ure."
Cook is now off for Keokuk, where
an excursion is being worked up over
the c.. b. & O., for Aug. 4. 1t will
come from Keokuk, Fort Madison
and Burlington, reaching Rock ISL
and at IL a. m. and leaving at 10 in
the evening. 1t is being thoroughly
advertised. and 1000 Deople are ex.
pected on it.
