THE NETWORK TIMES,

THE TIMES is a newspaper for intelligent men and women who want 10 read all the news of the world every day. The paper has distin- gushing merits of it's own. It is neither sen sational nor dull. It is not sour tempered It is not frivolous or visionary. It sees plenty Of good in the world and tells about it. It tells of the bad when it must, but not unwholesomely. It prints with fullness the record of human en- deavOr in many fields outside of business, poli- tics, and war-in literature, religion, science art, sports, and household matte s. No p4per in the country prints 50 many book reviews and so much book news. No pape has so complete financial page-e daily manual for investors and officers of financial ins ,itutions. Its mar ket reports-wool. cotton, breadstuffs. farm produce, &c.-are the best in the country.
 The Democracy of The Times is Of the old fashioned sort-as old as Thomas Jefferson; majority rula; no tossism, no machine tyranny, the divorce of politics from private money making, sound currency, industrial enamel patton. and every-day honesty. To promote th e advance of the Democratic party d ong these lines it labors with heart and conscience and g II ii iS m iph

on Sunday; various theories Of indi-

bicy Gle riding, lax views Of the Sabbath

as to the perpetual binding obligation OF
the Sabbath. They also commended
the efforts made IN Sunday schools and
young peoples societies for the better
observance of the Sabbath; appointed
the last Sunday in October as a day for
the special consideration of the subject,

CHINESE ~COUNTERFEITS.

Half Dollars Circulating on the Coast BE-
lieved to Have Been Coined There.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20. AT last the
United States secret service authorities
have struck lead Us to the source from
whence come the almost perfect imita-
ton half dollars circulated throughout
the coast. 1t is believed that the
counterfeits, which absolutely defy de-
lection, except under a powerful magni-
flying glass in the hands off a clever ex-
pert, were made by Chinese in their IA
tive land and brought to this country
last summer by the members of the
troupe Of Chinese actors who came to
America to perform at the Atlanta ex-
position. The counterfeits contain al
most the same amount of pure silver as
do the regularly minted half dollars, but
the extremely low price Of silver bullion
gave the counterfeiters good profit.

The Sioux Falls journal is authority
for the statement that the divorce
colony in that city is larger now than at
any time in its history, though it takes
30 days longer than formerly to obtain
a divorce. The explanation for the large
influx of unhappy welded mortsls, it
says, are first, the short residence, second
the assurance of a legal separation, third
a pleasant city to live in, fourth the ex-
uberance of our climate, and fifth the
fact that here is really the only city
where good accommodations can be
secured, and of a kind to tit the most
depleted or plethorie pocketbook.
