bought half interest in the Griffin
Tile works of Griffin, ILL.,, of F. A.
Griffin. The Griffin works rank as
the best in the west. They turn out
a quality Of sidewalk tile that il not
surpassed anywhere. The works
were enlarged last fall and winter.
1t is presumably to still further en-
large their capacity that this capital
is secured.
Today was the day set apart for
the opening of the exhibit Of pattern
hats, bonnets. and millinery novel
ties at McCabe Bros. The ladies OF
the three cities were out in great
numbers, and the brilliant array of
fine millinery more than met the ex-
pectations of all. The display will
be continued until every one has had
an opportunity to visit the grandest
millinery exhibit ever seen in this
section.

He preached upon the subject of sin,

individual sins for New York state. but
there was nothing startling in his re-

Then he branched off upon the sins of

Especial to The Heraid.I


Washington, D. c.. Feb. 1S.-The press
associations, apparently under inspira-
ton. had a report from the City of Mex
leo few days ago. saying that Mexican
quarters are no longer being coined by
the Mexican government, and, therefore,
the law making them receivable by the
United States treasury at zoe was null
lily The Herald correspondent, however.
saw Senior Romero, of Mexico, today,
and received from him an official denial
that such coinage had ceased. He said
the Mexican mtnts are open to such coin
age in unlimited quantities.
The treasur-- officials are becoming very
much worried over this law, and have
hunted up and down through the stat
utes for something repeating it.
So far, however, they have found no.
thing to reward them, except section %
Of the new tariff law. and they cannot
place much reliance on this. as it is gem
eral. and can hardly be said to repeal a
special statute
However, they will carry the fight
against this law into the highest courts.
They see what a menace in the direction
Of free silver it presents, and are going
to make a strong protest. However, men
interested are now preparing to test its
validity and mandanus proceedings may
be brought on very soon by an offer in
quantities of these quarters to customs
officers on the Mexican border.

1893 aggregate $3.50, 900, and the estimate on

about 100000 will be necessary to pay
half the bounty for that year.
