HERES A COINAGE SCHEME.
kiIverites Dig Up an Old Law 'e
rardin- Mexican Silver.

kfIypriteS Dig y an Olu t-si" 'eS
harding Mexican Silver.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-An old law
has been discovered upon the statute
hooks by free silver men which they
declare gives them ground to hope that
thew can bring about the coinage OF
silver in an indirect way through the
use of Mexican dollars. The law was
passed in 1857, and is sec 1861 OF the
Revised Statutes. 1t is as follows:
"The pieces commonly known as the
quarter, eighth and sixteenth of the
Spanish dollar, and Of the Mexican
dollar, shall be received at the treasury
of the United States and its several
offices, ard at the several post offices
and land offices, at the rates OF Valua-
tiCn following. The fourth of dollar,
or piece Of two reals, at 20 cents; the
eighth of a dollar, or piece of one real,
at 10 cents, and the sixteenth of q
dollar, or half-real, at five cents
The section following provides that
these coins shall not be reissued from
the treasury, but shall be recOined in
to United States coins. The law has
never been repealed, and silver men in
congress assert that it is possible to
send the metal to Mexico for coinage,
leimport it into the United States and
present it to the treasury. They assert
that the validity Of tie law is beyond
question, and point to the statute
resurrected by Secretary Carlisle, which
practically compels the treasury to re-
deem national bank notes in gold, as
evidence that there are more intricacieS
in the monetary system than have been
realized. The first step, the silver men
say, is to secure a construction of the
law by some competent authority.
They fear that Attorney General Oh
ney would rule against them, and are
trying to devise a plan to secure an
opinion from the judiciary committee
of the house.
Representative Hartman, Montana,
has introduced a resolution intended to
bring the matter of the old Mexican sill
yer law to the attention Of the house,
and serve as an opening wedge to the
discussion of the question. If not re-
ported from a committee within six
days. the resolution will be privileged
and can be called up at any time 1t
calls upon the secretary of the treas
ury to inform the house what proper
ton of the receipts of the government
since Feb. l, 1894, have been paid in the
coins mentioned in the law, and which
provides for their reception at the
treasury.

FINANCES NEXT WEEK.
JONES' Coinage Bill VIII Prob
ably Be Called Up.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-A move
ment was set on foot in the senate to-
day to secure a vote on the financial
question in the senate next week. The
plan, as proposed, is to devote Monday
and Tuesday to debate on the question,
and to obtain unanimous consent to
taking a vote at the close of the day
Tuesday. A large number of senators
have been seen by those interesting
themselves in the movement, but the
most that can be said is that the prop
osition has met with considerable ia
vor. There is some hesitation on the
part of the managers of the approprla
ton bills to give the necessary time to
the debate, and there are several SEN
ators who have not been seen, some of
whom may object. If the scheme sue
ceeds, the proceedings will be on the
basis of the Jones unrestricted coinage
bill, with votes on it after the various
amendments and substitutes shall have
been passed upon.

cent gold bonds, payable in five years,
for the purpose solely of maintaining
the gold reserve, and not to meet cur
rent deficiencies, as in the original
bill. The certificates of Indebtedness
authorized by the original bill are con-
fined to the meeting of the treasury de-
ficiency now existing or which may
hereafter occur"
They are to be made payable in law
full money of the United States, and the
total amount to be issued is left to the
discretion of the secretary. No limita-
ton is fixed upon the certificates.

How q Susceptible Young Dentist Lost
the Profit on Set Of Teeth.
The young woman was good looking
in spite of the necessity of having a
false set of teeth. The dentist was as
affable as you please and could not say
enough to impress the young woman.
All the time he was talking he was
making plaster of paris ca of the
young woman's mouth. He rev elo-
quent and stopped in his work % eluci-
date some point that the younT woman
did not appear to understand. Sud-
denly he noticed that the young wom-
ans face was unusually red. She ap-
peared to be trying to sprak. He
hastily thrust his finger in to :. ithdraw
the cast, when to his horror ne found
the cast had hardened and would not
bulge. He was frightened and called
in the professor. Both were fri chtened,
as the young woman seemed about to
choke. Nothing was left for them to
do but to get chisel and hammer and
chisel the cast out. When this work
was finished they besought the young
woman not to mention the matter and
told her to call around the next day.
The plate, she was told, would not cost
her a cent.

Magical Cure for Bloomers.

A cure for the bloomer craze has
been found at last. 1t is the invention
of a shrewd Vermonter, and in the sew
eral instances in which it has been tried
it has worked almost as magically as
magic. The inventor had a wife who
rode a bicycle and who insisted on
wearing boomers every time she went
out for a spin. Neither protests nor
appeals nor threats could induce her to
wear another costume. So one day the
husband. with a patience that would
have caused job to us.T his eyes, sat
down and made pair of boomers for
every hen in the poultry yard, and,
drawing them on the hens, called his
wife to look at them. They looked just
like she did, he said, when she was on
the wheel in costume. 4 little more
graceful, perhaps, but not bad repro
duction. There were some sharp words
for a moment, but the woman hasn't
worn boomers since. What's more,
she now declares that she never will
wear them again. Try it and see.

Lake City, Fla, has found that she can
charm snakes with her violin. So has
her father.
Mr.. Brown came home the other
night by the big rock on the river bank,
which has long been supposed to hold
den of rattlesnales. AS he reached
the rock he heard music and, looking
up, beheId his daughter with not less
than fifty huge serpents coiled about
her. AS he stood in terror the strain
changed and the ugly beasts went bacl;

When Ruth came tripping down her
father gave her five minutes in which to
give up the serpent habit or have some
thing worse than snakes. But the girl
says she will never surrender heY

One of the most extraordinary dogs
of the day died in Paris within the last
few weeks and all Paris mourned. The
notice of his death appeared in the
Paris Herald. Imagine how a Chicago
public would act if Chicago paper
solemnly announced the decease of a
canine, no matter how pampered and
remarkable!
Blackie was the property of Miss
Mackenzie Evans, the only woman
writer employed on the Paris Herald.
He accompanied her everywhere, and
was known to every Partisan who fire.

intimate friend of Miss Mackenzie
Evans said to Chicago Daily News
reporter that one day when she offered
to take Blacbie out for couple of
hours promenade she was actually en-
barrassed at the result Everybody
recognized the dog" she said, land
glared at me inquiringly, as if to ask
what was doing with him, for he was

Utter strangers would smile and greet
him. He was the most intelligent

hotel was upset at the occurrence.
Bernhardt and Calve were stopping
there and they were flying around con-
soling Blackie's owner and offering all
sorts of assistance. A London doctor
who charged two guineas a visit was
in attendance, but in spite of all the
dog died. Miss Evans took the body
over to Paris and it was inferred with
pomp and ceremony in a grave at the

HAS A sOMs TO EXPLODE.
Effort to Be Made to Abolish Racing n

Effort to Be Made to Abolish Racing U n
der Sanction of the L. A. w.
Chief Consul Potter, of New York.
has bomb to explode at the coming
session of the national assembly,
League of American Wheelmen, to be
held in February, 1896. 1t is composed
of motion and an argument for the
abolition of racing under the sanction
of the league.
Mr.. Potter's argument is that the
control of cycle racing should be in the
hands of some other body than the
league, because nine-tenths of the
league members care practically moth
ing for the racing. No one joins on &C
count of the racing. 1t is for the advan-
tage in the way of special hotel rates.
the good roads movements, free maps,
guide books, etc, that the league ex-
lists, and it is only because of these that
it is able to exist.
When asked what body he though
should control racing, Mr.. Potter re.
piled that the Amateur Athletic union
was the proper one.
