GOLD CERTIFICATES
SECRETARY CARLISLE URGED TO
THEIR ISSUANCE
Scope Of the Coming Report OF the
Director Of the Mint-Revival of
a Washington

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-The secretary
OF the treasury Is considering the question
OF resuming the issue OF gold certificates,
which was suspended in 1Se5 when the gold
reserve first fell below the sl00. O00.00 point.
The issue OF these certificates was sus-
pended as a means Of acquiring gold in the
treasury. Heretofore IL had been the Gus
tom OF the treasury 10 issue certificates on
the deposit OF geld. but such gold depos-
tied did not become part OF the gold re-
serve. BY suspending the issue OF those
certificates many holders Of gold, rather
than hold Il. exchanged Il for legal tenders
and treasury notes which. under the ruling
of the department, being gold Civilizations.
practically subserved the purpose. but the
treasury. on the receipt OF gold so dis
charged, was enabled 10 add II 10 the gold
reserve. As long as the treasury adhered 10
its policy OF redeeming legal tender and
treasury notes in gold the holders OF such
notes could obtain gold on demand as read
lily On them as on gold certificates. HOW
ever, gold holders would prefer the gold
certificates.
Since the election and the gradual in
crease of the gold reserve such holders be-
lieve there Is no reason why the issue OF
gold certificates should not be resumed. The
probably will be decided on the return of
Assistant Secretary Curtis from New York.
II is understood that Mr. Carlisle is not
favorably disposed toward the resumption.
The issue OF currency certificates under The
act Of 1872 never has been suspended

RECEIVED HIS M
A Healthy Grocer Thinks the Grim
Reaper Is Ready for Him.

MIDDLETOWN, n. Y, Nov. 25.-Thor-
oughly convinced that only a few days
more of earthly life will remain in him,
Levi Weed, of Walker Valley, although at
present in the enjoyment of perfect health,
is rapidly closing up his business in prep
aration for death m The little vii
lage of Walker Valley is nestled among
the mountains but a short distance from
the spot where the notorious Mrs. Halliday
committed the triple murders three years
ago last September. For years Weed, al
ways an eccentric character, has dis
pensed groceries TO the residents of the vii
lagos and surrounding country OF late,
howeve-, his patrons noticed a decided
change in his .demeanor- He has grown
respondent and melancholy, but when
questioned regarding his. change of man.
ner he would simply remark that he was
.'only meditating." Weed has at last
informed his friends tina he has
had a revelation hat at the long
est but a few days more remain to him
on earth. He is disposing of his grocery
stock at reduced prices. and arranging his
other business affairs, in anticipation of the
final closing of earth's scenes. His family
physician says he has no physical ailment,
but Weed contends that his assurances
from a. spiritual source warrant him in
closing up his earthly affairs at once. He
SAYS he has not been informed of the exact
day of his death, but ii will not be many
DAVIS hence.

IMPORTANT CASE DISMISSED.
Judge Townsend Refuses to Give
Cnmera Manufacturers a Monopoly.

Judge Townsend Refuses to Give
Genera Manufacturers "A Monopoly.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 25.-Judge
Townsend, of the United States Circuit
Court, has handed down a decision in the
case of the Eastman Company, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, against Hetz e. Hoover, of Buff
falo, N. Y. The complainant company in
this suit alleged an infringement on pat
ents owned by it on machines and a pro-
cess for making Photographic Inns. The
Eastman Company is the manufacturer Of
cameras, and a victory for it in this case
would have established for it a complete
monopoly Of the manufacture of films used
in cameras of the snapshot class. Judge
Townsend orders that a decree be entered
dismissing the complaint. Aside from the
Importance of the decision in itself the de-
cision is interesting because, in his decision,
Judge Townsend vigorously scores the at
torneys for attempting to clog the judicial
machinery of the United States Court with
q superiority of testimony and exhibits. The
judge says: Several weeks were consumed
i'm examining the briefs, testimony and ex-
hibits. More than four thousand pages of
printed matter devoted to this case more
prevails in patent cases stuffing the records
with prolix cross-examination and preva-
lent testimony. The exhibits shown would
almost fill a freight car and the testimony
filled three or four volumes of the size of
a dictionary" In discussing the complaint
the court ind that patents on the process
had already been numerously granted.

TAKEN OUT OF COURT.


CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-The bill skiing for
a receiver fol the American Wheelmen's
Protective Association which was filed a
short time ago by p. H. Barker, a stock
holder in the concern, has been dismissed
by the complainant on his own motion.
Barker made serious charges i'm his bill
against the corporation, alleging that Z.
ID. Sniffen, the secretary of the a~ssocia-
ton. had expended on his personal ac-
count. funds belonging to the concern and
that it was i'm an insolvent condition be-
cause of this and other acts of it's officers.
Judge Gibbons heard a demurrer to the
bill and held that the proceeding was in
sufficient, both in form and substance, TO
entitle complainant 10 any standing in
court. Judge Gibbons allowed the COM
p~lainant time TO file al amended bill, with
the charges in it specifically set out and
sworn to. Instead of doing this, Barker.
however. concluded TO withdraw his bill
and dismissed il out of court.

no doubt that such a strike would shortly
be ordered. Commoner McHugh has been
sending glowing letters describing his sue
cess in pushing the lockers strike move
ment in the Atlantic ports OF the United
states and Canada. He says the men there
are IN thorough sympathy with the ideas
of the federation.
The strike in Germany is spreading. Ad-
vices from Hamburg say the lightermen of

searching the files of the treasury and of
Congress for every scrap of data bearing
on the subject, and will make the most
complete presentation of facts n docu-
ments which has ever been attempted.
He has found a copy of the original draft

in the assay office at New York. where II
had been sent to obtain the views of the
assayer. This original draft provided for
reducing the silver dollar to a token coin
of the same finish and proportion of silver
as other subsidiary coins. The dollar was
not in circulation, because the high price
OF silver then ruling made 1t more valuable
than the gold dollar, even II the country
had not been upon a paper basis. the com

bill dropped out the dollar altogether. but

of Congress showing that the purpose OF
fhe hill was thoroughly understood at every
stage Of its consideration. Another feature
which he proposes 10 embody in his annual
report is a description of coinage from the
point where the metal is taken from the

bright coins. Every stage of the process OF

SOCIETY SCANDAL.
Trial OF Prince ~Yturbide's Suit Against
washfngton's metropolitan Club.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Judge Brad
,ev's courtroom was filed with w~ell-known
ciubmen to-day who were interested in a
scandal that finally has become a matter
of litigation after having excited Washing
ton society and clubme for months. Last
winter and spring people moving in fash
ionable circles were much exercised over
the circulation of anonymous letters re-
fecting on the character OF their intimates.
An allegation was made that the writer
of the scandals was the daughter of a
member of the metropolitan
Club. The lady was e~xonerated and the af-
fair given another turn by charges made
to the board OF governors of the Metro
politan Club asserting that Prime Angus
tin de Yturbide, formerly of Mexico, had
made the scandalous charge against the
lady whose name was brought in question
and to whom he had been engaged at one
time. The governors summoned Yturbide
before them and after hearing wrote him
that he was an undesirable member of the
club and then, on the hint not being tax
EN-. formally expelled him. Yturbide filed a
petition for a writ of mandamus to COM
pei the Metropolitan Club TO reinstate him,
