ground of natural development ana
there is marked tendency toward di-

CENT HAS BECOME POPULAR,


SAoapoF Hrlccs MAKO enormous DC
mands for the Small Coin.
Less than twenty-five years ago that
coin of the United States designated
"one cent" was unknown to the far
west, and seldom seen in the old north
western states, says the Washington
Post. Nothing was sold for less than
nickel, and prices were arranged to
make even change. Now. in all the
states. including those of the Pacific
slope, which were the last to succumb,
cents are in common, everyday use,
and prices are arranged accordingly,
The effect of the change Is, OF course an
INCREASED coinage demand. Three
presses in the Philadelphia mint are
turning out $4,000 cents day. It is
stated that from 1898 to the beginning
of our great war the coinage Of the
cent piece averaged only $4,000 worth
year Just before and during the war
the coinage became unusually large
but during the period of inflated prices
1t fell off very materially. In 1886,
however, there was a sudden and great
rise In cent coinage. and there has been
no return to low figures. Almost one
half of the entire cent coinage of the
United States has been executed in the
last fifteen years; or, to be exact. 304,-
100000 Of the 7S0O0O00O pieces out
standing have been struck since 1880
And still the demand continues.
II this change had set In whom the
crash of 1873 or that of 1893 came on
If would have
ural result of hard times But as 1t be-
gan with the return of nrosnNrity after
resumption some exclamation other
than that of financial strirgency is re-
quired to account for It, The Portland
Uregonian thinks that probably the
potent influence in extending the use Of
copper cents is the reduction Of price
through improved machinery and les
sened cost of production Of articles of
universal use, which always are sold
separately, like newspapers. 1t says
the sale of papers for fractions of a
nickel everywhere east of the Missls-
sippi has created an enormous demand
for pennies. and predicts that this de-
mand for pennies will be quite dou-
bled before long by the inevitable fall
of the price of a single ride on a street
car below 5 cents
The use of cents is not popularity
Of the poor. Many of the most costly
goods-such as silks, velyets and laces
are marked so as to require change
in this coin. Writers on economic sub
Jects state that the use of small coins
lis greatest with the most highly devel-
'oped nations We have heard but one
objection to this reform in the United
States and that came from pastor of a
Wesleyan church. He complained that

Washington, April 13.-It now mp
pears that ON the vote by which Con
gresham Abbott was adjrdged en-
titled to the seat in the case of Kearby
VS.. Abbott, two republicans were alb
sent, The vote stood. therefore, two
for Kearby and live for Abbott.
There are nine members of the COM
mittee, and the absence of the two
republicans at the time the vote WAS
taken creates some doubt ms to the flu
ture of the case. No one knows what
these two will do. If they should re-
fuse to sign the majority report, which
gives Abbott the seat, then there will
be four republicans on the minority
report. If they agree with the majority
then it is highly probable that there
will not be minority report.
If there is minority report signed
by four republicans it is safe TO say
that the case will be fought further il
the house. So far the two absen
members have not given out what they
intend to do. Should four republicans
sign a minority report, then there vii
be the majority report with three dem
ocrats and two republicans on it. Thi
would make the case very interesting

Helena, Mont, April 1S.--Another
victim has been added to the Hope

back after him but the gas had been in
creased so that it was impossible. The
man is dead beyond doubt. There are

Sense of Color in Animals.

: It ia next to impossible to cite an
instance in which a dog Identifies an
object by its hue and there is little posi-
tive evidence that the larger quadrupeds
have much sense of color Domestic
cattle are so far affected by violent con-
trast of white and dark that the pres
ence of black, white or very clearly
spotted animals in the herd sometimes
results in calves being thrown of the
d. same color or markings But, though
red is said to irritate a bull and to
excite hunters by association of Ideas,
The latter statement rests partly on sur
mise. The writer has seen setterrefuse
TO retrieve black rabbit, becauseit ap-
parently thought its master had shot a
black cat. But house-living dog shows
no preference for a red carpet or rug
over a blue or variegated one and
expresses no surprise or curiosity
whether its master wears red uniform
or black evening suit. None of the cats
whether wild or tame, show any par
TALLY for bright hues; and among all
the stratagems used from time imme-
mortal by hunters the use of color as
lure fer quadrupeds is notably absent

San Francisco, Apr. 1S..-The annual
election of officers by the directors of
the Southern Pacific showed n division
of opinion as to the fitness of O. r.
Huntington for presidents of the COM
pany, which is looked upon as the be-
ginning of a fight against that mag
nate.
At the direction of Mrs LELAND
Stanford the two directors who repre-
sent the Stanford estate voted for Cen
eral Thomas II. Hubbard Of New YORK
for president, and William Croker also
refused to vote for Huntington
General Hubbard admits that he was
urged by Mrs. Stanford to become a
candidate for the presidency, but says
he refused.
Mrs. Stanford is said to have ex-
pressed the belief that if the Stanford
Crocker and Searle interests could have
united on General Hubbard he would
have been elected.
