Rathfarnharn, is recorded In our Irish
obituary column, this week, was only 80
years Of age, and was in the 10th year
Of her religious profession, most Of which
had been spent In the Rathfarnham

and highly respected Tipperary family.

" MP. for South Louth, and for some
time connected with the New York Press.
The obseauies of the deceased Nun took
place ON May 14th, and the interment

Subscriptions towards the rebuilding
Of All -Hallows College chapel are al

received are the following:--His Grace
the Archbishop of Dublin, f100; Most
Rev. DR.. Woodlock, ESD: the Vincentian
Fathers, per the Rev. FIR. lMorrisey, v. G.
M, ESQ; A. Sympathizer, ESQ; Anony-
nous, ESQ; and various other subscrip-
lions ranging form ten pounds down to
one pound.
@ Captain Dillon Browne of Dublin, has
prepared.a suggested new code of fog sig
nails, for use at sea. Simplicity and in
te1ligibility. have been his detectives.
Twenty years skilled experience at sea
gives weight to his authority. The code
has attracted the attention Of the Ship
ping Gazette, which suggests that it
should be submitted to the Select Com
nnittee Of the House of Commons which
is being appointed to consider the sub
ject. Capt. Brownies code would cut
down the number Of signals in use from
ten to FIVE If that can be done with
safety there would be a great gain in
simplicity.
The deaths ID the Dublin registration
district for the week ending May 18th
amounted to 1874, being 8 over the aver
age for the corresponding week of the
last ten years: There were only Is
deaths from zymotic diseases registered

age for. the. corresponding week Of the
last ten years, and / under the number
for the week ended May 4th. s.s

mon law of England, and in so
doing, whatever was legal tender
in the mother country was legal ten
der in the colonies in the absence Of
statutory regulation. In 1904 a
royal proclamation was issued max
ing certain silver coins legal tender
in the colonies and in 1907 this was
confirmed by act of parliament. All
values in England were then
measured in pound sterling and that
is a silver and not gold measure;
SO the law in the colonies to the
time of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, being that silver was the unit,
what more natural than that the
congress of the confederation and
later on the congress of the United
States should adopt silver as the
coin.
The law expressly says dollars or
units each to be of the value of a
Spanish milled dollar as the same is
now current, and to contain 81 i-lG
grains of pure, or 4lG grains of
standard silver. The act did not
authorize a dollar piece in gold to
be coined, and whenever gold was
mentioned the law said they were
to be of the value Of dollars or units,
and does not say that they were
dollars. Other sections of the same
act provides that "the money Of
account Of the United States shall
be expressed in dollars or units "
In concluding his most able criti-
cism of Judge Nincent's decision
Mr.. Norton says; "In view of the
foregoing facts | am of the opinion
that the unit rested solely on silver,
and not on both metals"
