WoMld Increase the Currency by Isss
ing Gold Certificates.

Would Increase the Currency on bsu-
ing Gold Certificates.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 14.-The
following letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury was made public to-day:
Franklin Haven, Esq, President Merchants
National Bank, Boston, Mdss.-SIR: Replying to
your favor OF the oath of November written
in behalf of the Boston banks, asking for the
issue of gold certificates under the authority
granted In section IL of the act OF july 9.
1882 am not prepared to give the necessary
order. After the reserve has once fallen be-
low $100 000, 900, and the issue of such certifi-
Gates has been stopped, it is not certain that
the Secretary of the Treasury, especially in
view of existing conditions, would be iusti1 ed
in resuming their issue.
1t has been the experience of the depart-
ment in the past that the normal increase of
the gold reserve caused by the exchange of
paper currency for gold is checked by the issue
of gold certificates and, in fact, upon various
occasions considerable amounts Of gold have
been withdrawn by the pres entation of notes
for redemption and Immediately receposi ted
in exchange for GOLD certificates. Moreover
the House of Representatives of the Fifty-tbird
Congress, at its third session, passed a bill
discon tinuing the coin issue entirely and IL
is the intention of the department to present
the subject again at very early date. AS the
amount of gold reserve is largely determined
from time to time by the available amount of
paper in circulation, it seems inadyisable at
this time especially, to increase the volume of
that currency by the issue of gold certificates.

MADE INSANE By JEALOUSY
Ernest [. Chase Cuts the Throat of HIS
Wife and Kills Himself With the
Same Weapon.

DETROIT, MICH, Dec. IA shocking
double tragedy took place in this city
to-day. Ernest L. Chase cut the throat of
his wife and then with the same weapon
cut mis- own throat from ear to ear and
fell dead beside her. The tragedy took
place early this morning in the rooms
occupied by the couple, and when the
tragedy was discovered the two bodies lay
in pool of blood on the floor.
The tragedy was the climax of life Of
uuhappiness. Chase was 3S years of age
and his wife 6 years younger. He was of
very jealous disposition. frequently &C.
cusing his wife of undue familiarity with
other men, an accusation which, his
friends say. was wholly without founda-
ton. For day or two he has been very
morose in his manner, again repeating
the usual statements about his wife and
accusing her of unfaithfulness. 1t is be-
lieved that he finally became insane
through brooding over the matter and
that the tragedy was the result of this in
sane jealousy.

Major Davis Reports on the Fork of I'm
provtng tho Channel.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-The
Secretary of War to-day transmitted to
the House of kepresen tatives letter of
Chief of Engineers Craighill, containing
the report of Major Davis. Corps of En-
gineers, on the survey of Redwood Greek,
California, made in compliance with the
last river and harbor act. Major Davis
says that the Government expended $103,-
445 from 1884 to 1890; says that it is use
less to do any more dredging in that
stretch of the channel between the town
and the tannery, for this part OF the chan
mel is bare and the remaining two-thirds
has less than than two feet of water.
The slough, half way between the bay
and creek, widens out, forming the mid
die ground, with two channels and a mud
bank between. To the westward of this
middle ground there is a deep semi
circular slough, with bar of TWO feet at
its upper end. which can be navigated by
the class of sailing vessels using the
slough, but with some difficulty, owing to
its peculiar course. By closing this
slough, by means of dyke, and improving
either channel around the middle ground,
a five foot channel might be obtained.
The westmost channel is the one to be
preferred. as it is straighter. The esti-
mated cost OF the dyke is $4,000 and the
dredging is $500.

The Guardianship
of a Watch---..4xsaNsa>

STRANGE that we should
be advertising our watch de-
partment so much, when al
ready every one in the islands
knows that WE ARE THE
PEOPLE for fine watch
work. But the point is Just
this: Our perfect work is so
appreciated, that we find our
present facilities are just a lit
tie too small to handle the
large volume of work with dis
patch; so we are going to en-
large the department, and
WANT YOUR WORK also.
See the point? Excellence
the top notch Of perfection
that's the magnet which draws,
and the only one we use. If
you could only realize how
much worry we can save you
by bringing your timepiece to
US in the first place, you would
not hesitate an instant, when
things have gone wrong, but
bring your watch to us at once.
Complicated work is our spe-
cial delight. The watch has
not yet been made, which we
cannot handle in a proper and
workmanlike manner. Today
we do all work which up to a
few years ago had to be sent
away; in some cases even to
the factory where the watch
was made. No amount OF
Dragging on our part could be
as convincing to you, as the
great number Of watches, of a
complicated order, which have
been perfectly repaired by us
in the past few years and OF
which the owners will tell you,
that they are PERFECTLY
DONE.
Do you wish to be convinced
Of this. No better way thar
to appoint US your watch guar
dams.

"PARsO>'' SMITH MISSING.
Disappearance ofthe superintendent
of vIIder's Lumber Yard.

Notification was sent to the
Office of Wilder & Co. about 9
o'clock that "Parson" Smith, the
superintendent of the Wilder
lumber yards, had not reported
for duty this morning. w. G.
Wilder caused a messenger to be
sent to his house to find out If he
was sick. The messenger return
ed with the statement that Smith
had left home Sunday morning
early with the intention of taking
a tramp up Pauoa valley and had
not returned. His room was visit
ed but he had not slept in it.
Mr.. Wilder then notified the
police, and Captain Renken and
some of his mounted men were
sent mp the valleys. At 1850
Captain Renben returned, having
been to the summit above Pauoa,
but discovered no traces of the
missing man. The other men had
not reported at that time.
Smith had habit of taking soil
tary walks every Sunday and told
his wife yesterday he was going
up the Pauoa valley il it did not
rain. If it rained he should go
somewhere else.
At the Office of Wilder & Co. it
is feared that something has hap
pened to him, and fresh searching
parties are being organized to
look for him.

such that patrons of this favorite

Sermon on Baptism.

In his discourse on Baptism"
in the Christian church Sunday
evening, Mr.. Romig indicated on
a chart twelve points of agreement
between the scriptural require
ments of the rite and the practice
of immersion, while there was
only one thing water"-that was
indispensable to either pouring
or sprinkling. In answer to a
question he claimed that Chris
tan unity could only be realized
on the biblical basis adopted by
the Christian Church at its organ
iza;ion seventy-f five years ago.
That church had shown the most
rapid growth of all the denomina-
tons, and now stood fifth in point
of numerical strength in Christen-
dom. There was an attendance
that filled the church.
