STERLING MARKET EASY.
Additional Gold Deposited in Elk
change for Treasury Notes.

NEW YORK, Sept. Sup to 8 o'clock this
afternoon $660000 in gold was deposited in
the United States subtreasury in exchange for
legal tender notes. Some of the assay office
checks that were issued last week in payment
for gold bullion have been exchanged for
greenbacks, so that the gold they represented
becomes part of the treasury gold reserve. The
steamship La Normandie which arrived from
Europe yesterday, brought $1,773,00O in gold.
The Bank of England, it was reported by
telegraph, sold another round amount of
gold this morning for shipment to this coun-
try and this fact together with the knowl-
edge Of the large amount of gold now on its
way here and the pressure Of commercial bills
combine to make the sterling exchange mar
ket easy and keep the rates down.

Extension of the Rate War I'm the
South

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-There was
a significant extension of the railroad
rate war in the South when two more
roads made schedules of new freight
tariff rates to conform to those of the
Seaboard Air Line. The Atlantic
Coast Line and the Norfolk & West
ern filed formal notices with the Inter
state Commerce commission. The
Coast Lines new tariff is from Rich
mond and Petersburg, and the Norfolk
& Western from Roanoke, both apply
ing to the competing points on the Sea-
board Air Line. The rates in both in
stances correspond to those of the Sea-
board from Norfolk and Portsmouth
and involve competing points in Vir-
GINA, the two Carolinas and Georgia.

What Gave Him Away.

A story is told in the India Rubber
World of a meek-looking stranger, with
a distinctly ministerial air, who applied
for permission to look over large rub
ber factory. He knew nothing at all
about the rubber business, he said,
and, after little hesitation, he was adj
mitted. The superintendent showed
him about in person, and the mans
questions and comments seemed to
come from the densest ignorance.
Finally, when the grinding-room was
reached, he fingered little, and asked,
in a hesitating way: Couldn't / have
specimen of that curious stuff for my
cabinet?" Certainly" replied the
superintendent, although it was a COM
pound the secret of which was worth
thousands of dollars; certainly, cut off
as much as you wish" With eager step
the visitor approached the roll of gum,
took out his knife, wet the blade in
his mouth, and stop right where
you are!" said the superintendent, lay
ing heavy hand upon the stranger;
"you are a fraud and a thief. You
didn't learn in pulpit that dry knife
won't cut rubber" So saying, he
showed the impostor to the door, and
the secret was still safe.

CONGRESS AS A MIMIC SHOW

Practically there was no union of the
states, and certainly nothing that could
be called a national government until
the constitution was adopted in 1879.
writes ex- President Harrison in January
Ladies' Home Journal. Before that we
had congress consisting Of single
body Of delegates. Ali votes were taken
by ststes-R majority OF the delegates
from the state casting the vote Of the
state. There was no senate, no presi
dent nor any separate executive depart
ment, and practically no Judiciary. The
congress, either by the whole body or
by committees, performed the necessary
xe;utivefunctions; commissioned Off
GERS; raised and disbursed revenue; con-
Quoted our diplomacy; audited accounts
and exercised certain judicial functions.
1t was a weak attempt to organize q
governme but it answered so long as
the common peril of British subiugatiou
lasted. When that threat was with
drawn by the peace OF 1888 tie selfish
intense and threatened to snap the
feeble bonds that held the states in
union. The congress became the
lsughing-stock OF the country, and the
ed debts in the prosecution of the war;
and, the states neglecting or refusing to |
pay their quotas. congress was protested |
AMI dishenored, for it had no power to
lay and collect taxes. 1t had made |
commercial treaties with foreign powers
and the states refused to allow in their
ports the privileges guaranteed by the
treaties. Congress was mimic show,
the butt of jealousy and ridicule. Great
things were demanded of men who could |
Go no.hing.
Each state made its own tariff law.
Ii one, with view to raising money to
pay its pressing debts, fixed high rate
on foreign goods imported, another
would adopt a lower rate to attract
commerce to its ports. 1t was hence
impossible for the states to make a
beneficial use OF the power to levy duties
on foreign goods. And besides; COM
merce between the states was hindered
and bad blood engendered by duties
levied by one state on goods coming
from another. New York laid duty |
orr firewood coming down the sound
from Connecticut, and upon garden
truck crossing the river from Jersey.
Out OF these ana many like things grew
the conviction in the minds of our
statesmen and people that "a more per
feet union" was necessary; that We must
have q national governments, to which
should be entrusted all those general
powers affecting especially our relations
with foreign countries, and the relations
OF the states with each other, and includ-
Ing such as were necessary to the gener-
al defense and welfare.

SOMETHING ABOUT COINS.
If They Are Plugged or Worn They Hav'
Little Special Value.

If They Are Plugged or Worn They Have
Little Special Value.
AS viewed from a numismatic stand
fixes it's value. 1t is not the date or
age, except in less than thirty instances,
that is sought for at the big quoted
premiums. Pierced, plugged, badly
worn, scratched coins, or those on
which the dates are illegible, have no
particular value.
4 perfectly-uncircula cent of 1899
would easily bring 500, whereas good
cent of the same date can be purchased
for $40.
For gold there is but limited nunis-
matte demand, and the supply is great
~ in excess of the demand. The double
eagle of 1S49 is worth about $500. All
gold dollars are at a premium, and
worth from $1.2O to S1.40 each. Those
dated 1868, 1864 and 1865 command from
$3.50 to 81 each, and 1875, S8.
Most numismatic transactions are in
silver coins. y dollar of 1904 is worth
S4O0; half dollar of 1897 brings $40, and
a quarter of 1927 commands $40. The
dime of 1904 is the most valuable, being
worth $40, and the half dime of 1902
easily holds the record at SOB. A large
copper cent of 1899 would bring S2j, and
a half cent of 1896 is in demand at $50.
A thin silver half dime of 1902 was
bought by it's present holder for 500,
and has been sold at SIS.

room while their respective pantaloons
were being ironed. Representative
John III. Fow, who is forever on the
lookout to play practical joke, passed
the door OF the snop and sool- il the
situation at glance. Mr.. Fow raised
his mighty fog-horn voice in one wild
cry of "Firel" The effect was in
stantaneous and startling. Mr.. Ryan,
the first to dash through the shop door,
was clothed, as to his neither extremi-
ties, in flaring scarlet. Two of the
country politicians wore gray and
white, but the third wore, besides the
startled look upon his face, not much
of anything. His billed" shirt was
pretty long, but it did not prevent the
few pedestrians on the street from see
ing his bare knees knocking together
with fright. When the victims real
lied the trick that had been played
upon them they scurried back to
shelter.
