Another Drainage Canal.

Preparations are being made by Chicago
citizens south of Eighty seventh street for
the creation of another sanitary district
The plan is TO build channel connecting
with the Calumet river at Blue island, and,
striking the Chicago drainage channel at
the Sag, distance of nine miles from Blue
island, it is proposed to widen and deepen
the old Illinois and Michigan canal feeder,
taking what is known as the Stony Island
creek route. It Is estimated the canal will
cost 1000, 900 or So, 000 600. Eventually
1t is expected that the Calumet river will
be widened and deepened, and that vessels
can pass through to the main canal al the

Ed jenkins is 14-year-old boy living In
Garrnrd county, KY, whose claim 10 dis
tinction Is based on the fact that he has a
fully developed black mustache that many
man of 80 would be proud TO boast. The
boy was hardly 10 years old when the fur
began TO sprout on his upper lip. Contrary
TO the usage Of boys, he did not encourage
Its growth by surreptitiously shaving. He
never put razor to his face, but the hair
needed no encouragement and continued to
grow and become darker, until the mus
tache was thick and long. New York Re-

TO vAOATE THEIR HOMES.
Farmers In Minnesota Adjudged Trespsss-
ers by the Government.

ers by the GoNernmeut.
Many occupants of land in the southern
part of Minnesota have been adjudged tres
passers by a recent decision of the depart
ment of the interior, and must vacate their
homes, losing the value of all the improve
ments they have made thereon. The lands
In question were originally swamp lands
ccdod 10 Minnesota by the United States
government, and the title thereto should
have come from the state. In many cases,
however, evaporation and natural drainage
have in the years since 1860, changed the
character OF the lands, converting them
from swamps into tillable acres. II was
thought, therefore, that these arabic lands
could be secured by virtue Of patents from
the national government, and with this
understanding they were occupied. The
state, however, resisted the issuance OF
patents from the national government, and
its position has been sustained, with the
result of causing much hardship for pre-
sumably innocent people.-New York

LETTER FROM COL. FRED GRANT
Relating to His Fathers Signing of
the Coinage Act of 1873.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10.-A letter
received from Colonel Fred Grant to-
day says in part: Referring to your
question as to whether my father knew
when he signed the Coinage Act of 1873
that the silver dollar was dropped from
the coinage, and that if he had known
the fact he would have vetoed the bill, I
hasten to reply that l frequently talked
with my father upon the question of
standards of currency, and never heard
him intimate any such sentiment as is
credited to him above. l can only say
that he never intimated such a state
ment to me. In all his conversations to
me he seemed to take the ground that it
was great misfortune for any country
to have as the basis of their circulating
medium any metal that had the least
element of uncertainty about it.
From the time that he was inaugur-
ated President until the resumption of
specie payment Act was passed. all
public announcements, and so far as I
know all his private statements, were
aimed to secure a stable currency to the
people OF the United States The Coin
age Act of 1873 does not eliminate the
silver dollar from our coinage. In fact,
the United States has coined since then
more silver than had been coined during
the entire period Of our national exist
ence before, and most of this coinage
was made during his lifetime. 1t is.
therefore, not probable that General
Grant ever said that he would have We
toed the Act of 1878 If he had known
that the silver dollar was dropped from
the coinage, and ] would not believe
any one who said that he heard my
father make such a remark"
