CHATTER XVII.

At1i.
When Eugene awoke the next day his
mind was full OF the tollies Of tho ono
which had passed before II, and in his
sober moments he soon came to the
knowledge Of the fact that he had fool
ishly placed himself in an un.
pleasant prodicament from which 1t
would take considerable sum Of money
70 extFicatc himself. The amount OF
his dc BITS was not very large sum In
the Dyes OF many. but Eugene had not
been possessed OF wealth long enough
to consider the sum It would take to
settle with his creditors rs an insigni-
ficant amount lie disliked very much
to accept the proiiered assistance Of Mr..
limerick, but he saw no alternative, as
he must have the money before tho oven
ing Of the next day or risk arrest
During tho evening no met Mr.. Emer-
lex and, as they sat ut one OF tho little
handicapped tables In cafe near to
the Grand Opera House, no preached
the subject OF his difficulties. His
listener seemed almost prepared for 1t,
for he asked in moment: "lIow much
will it take to entirely wipe out your
debts?"
"About 1--WE thousand frames" on
swercd Eugene.
THAT is but small sum. ! will adj
vance 1t to you in tho morning and you
can lido over your trouble" After
these words Mr. limerick was quiet for
some moments. Eugene thanked him,
but otherwise made no reply. Having,
Us 1t seemed, got his thoughts into
shape, limerick leaned over the table
and speaking in low voice said: "Eu-
gene, have something to tell you
which may affect your future II not told
ut once
Indeed! what is it?" inquired Eu-
gene. Nothing serious, hopc?"
Without any further reference to the
nature of his news, Mr.. limerick said:
"Your mothers recent acquaintance
with me came about, as you know, In q
rather extraordinary manner"
''Ycs, so have understood" said Eu-
gene.
"As yod must know sooner or later,
may as we'll relate the circumstances to
you at once" Whcreupon he proceeded
to speak OF the occurrence at the dock
yard cato in brooklyn and tho subse-
qucnt interview ut his rooms in New
York. When he got to tho point
where his wife again recognized him no
said: "Your mother made no mistake.
! am her husband ami your father"
When Eugene heard these words no
dropped the vino glass he was raising
to his lips on TO the table and ex-
claimed: Then why did you change
your name?'
~ have already had TO refuse your
mother an answer to that question and
for the present mus: decline TO answer
you. When the proper time arrives
you shall learn my reasons" This was
all the satisfaction which Mr.. limerick
gave. Eugene was mystiilei beyond
measure and hardly know what to say
In reply, but he contcntcd himself with

Different Kinds Of Money Recognized by thu
Government rs Legal Terd.r.

Government rs Legal Terd!r.
Although people talk glibly and
wisely about the national currency
the vast majority of them have but
"a superficial knowledge of the func'
tions of the various issues. On
account of the present general dis
cussion on the subject, few facts
are briefly given that may afford a
clearer understanding OF the pres.
ent condition of the national finan.
ccs.
This official definition of the
term illegal tenders" is money of a
character which by law a debtor
may require his creditor TO receive
in payment, i'm the absence of any
agreement in the contract or obi
cation itself" government trans
actions the gold coins of the United
States are legal tender in all pay
ments, at their nominal value. when
mol below the standard weight and
limit of tolerance provided by law
for the single piece, and when re.
duced in weight below such stand.
ard and tolerance are a legal tender
at valuation in proportion to their
actual weight.
Standard silver dollars are le-
gal tender at their nominal value
for all debts aud dues, public and
private, except where otherwise ex-
pressly stipulated in the contract.
The silver coins of the United
States of smaller denominations
than 81 are a legal tender in all
sums not exceeding $40 in full pay
ment for all dues, public or private.
Minor coins, whether of copper,
bronze or coppcr-nickel, are legal
tender at their nominal value for
any amount not exceeding twenty
five cents in any one payment.
United States notes, otherwise
known as illegal tender notes" and
"greenbacks," are a legal tender in
payments of all debts, public or
private, within the United States,
except duties on imports and inter-
est on the public debt
Treasury notes, issued in. pay
ment of purchases of silver bullion
under the Sherman act of 1890, are
a legal tender in payment of all
debts public and private, except
where otherwise expressly stipu-
lated in the contract, are receivable
for customs, taxes and all public
dues.
Columbian half dollars are a ie-
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1895-03-16

gal tender to the same extent as
subsidiary silver coin-that is, $40
In any one payment. Columbian
quarters are also legal tender to
the same extent as subsidiary coin.
Gold certificates are not a legal
tender. They are, however, receiva-
bic for customs, taxes and all public
dues. Silver certificates have pre-
cisely the same standing as the
gold certificates.
National bank notes are not le-
gal tender. They are, however re-
ceivable at par in all parts of the
United States in payment of taxes,
excuses, public land and all other
dues to the United States, except
duties on imports; and also for all
salaries and other debts and de.
mands owing by the United States
to individuals, corporations and as-
sociations within the United States,
except interest on the public debt
and in redemption of the national
currency.
Trade dollars are not legal ten
der. BY the act of February II, 1873.
they were legal tender at their
nominal value for any amount not
exceeding s. in any one payment,
but under date of July %, 1873, it
was enacted that they should not
thereafter be a legal tender.
BY the act of March 3, 1863, frac.
tional currency was receivable for
postage and revenue stamps, and
also in payment of any dues to the
United States, less than S., except
duties on imports; but they are no
longer legal tender to any extent
whatever.
The Treasury Department has
also decided that foreign gold and
silver are not legal tender in pay
ment of debts. The question has
been raised and disputed AZ to
whether what was called the Con
tinental currency" issued during
the war OF the rebellion by the old
government, was or was not a legal
tender. The facts appear to be that
while the Continental Congress did
not by any ordinance attempt to
give il that character, they asked
the States to do so, and all of them
seem to have complied, except
Rhode Island. The Continental
Congress only enacted that the man
who refused to take the money
should be an enemy of his country.
This currency, as now classified at
the Treasury Department, is not
legal tender.
BY law. Treasury notes are re-
dcemable in coin. The kind of coin
employed is optional with the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. Secretary
Carlisle has directed their redemp-
ton in gold whenever that coin is
demanded. In case the holder has
no preference. he will receive ri liver
in exchange, but such cases are ex-
tremely rare. United States notes
are also rideemable in gold.
There is no standard in the mat
ter of government bonds. Each
loan stands on its own bottom
During the war legal tender notes
were accepted inpayment for bonds
but since then all govern nent loans
have been negotiated in gold or its
equivalent-gold certificates. The
recent issues of bonds were for the
purpose of replenishing the dwind-
ling gold reserve, in order to enable
the government to maintain the
parity of the two metallic standard
of value. Consequently, no other
currency was receivable in pay
ment of the bonds. Bonds are re-
deemable in coin, either gold or
silver, at the option of the govern
ment.-Evcning Telegram.

In view of the number of theories
advanced in answer to this ques-
ton, the question might perhaps
appear somewhat superilous when
so many satisfactory solutions-ali
more or less different-ars at hand.
In his concluding lecture at the
ROYAL Institution, however, Pro-
fessor Fleming answered il once
more as follows:
What (said Professor Fleming) is
this mysterious agent which we
call electricity, and which seems so
ready to adapt itself to our needs:
1t was the first question people
asked; it was the last 10 be ans
wered. Our knowledge of clectrici'
" was comparable to our know
ledge of biology, or any other OF
the sciences. We could see the life
processes at work, but were no
nearer understanding what life was.
We could see electricity at work,
but failed to see what the thing
itself was. However, science was
beginning to recognize one thing
as the result of it's researches, and
that was that electricity was proba-
bly, a wave disturbance of the ether
analogous to the wave disturbance
which we call light. With light we
had waves of the iinponderable,
ethereal medium which filled all
space equally that filling up space
between the stars as that between
the smallest atom of matter) vi
brating at the astounding speed of
forty-five millions of millions per
second, with an amplitude of os-
cillation as minute as the 81 ,000th of
an inch. The researches of Fara-
day, Clerk-Maxwell, and Hertz had
led to the demonstration by actual
experiment that electricity was also
a wave motion of the ether of great
rapidity, but with waves yards in
length instead of mere fractions,
like those of light 1t was in this
direction that the great discoveries
of the future would be made Sci
