PENNIES BY The MILLION.
They Are All Made in Philadelphia at n
Big Profit.

They Are All Made I'm Philadelphia at n
Big Profit.
1t is not generally known that all the
minor coins OF base metal, such as PEN
nies and nickels are made at the Philadel-
pbia mint. and that nearly 10), 900, 0O0
pennies are coined there every year.
The large number Is occasioned by the
fact that thousands Of pennies are lost an
nualiy, and the government has some
difficulty in maintaining supply.
The profit OF the government on their
manufacture is large. The blanks for max
ing them are purchased for 81 thousand
from a Cincinnati firm that produces them
by contract. Blanks for nickels are OBJ
tanned In the same way, costing Uncle
Sam only n cent and a half apiece.
Gold Is coined IN Philadelphia and San
Francisco. Not enough of II comes into
the mint at New Orleans TO make the
coinage of IL worth while.
Gold pieces are the only coins OF the
United States which are worth their face
value intrinsIcaIly. A double eagle con-
tains $40 worth OF gold without counting
the one-tenth part copper.

Still more tarred paper was blown from
the Baxter building where apparently
thore are unlimited supplies; also board
was blown across Oak street against the
Perry block and broke some glass.
. An awning blew off the Harrington
block and several signs suffered.
There were several washouts and one
of the sewers caved in. Part Of the fence
of the Deering baseball grouds has blown
down, and likewise fence on Fletcher
street.
Out in the country the wind must have
blown as fiercely as on the ocean. Be-
tween Steep Falls and fWindham car
rage containing man and woman was
blown over into the ditch early in the
morning. They were luckily not hurt,
but got very wet, because the ditch was
small pond. A trunk on the top of
the Windham stage was blown off and
carried considerable distance. The
grand stand at the Raymond fair
grounds was not only blown down, but
rolled over and over for quite distance.
Passengers on the Eastern division of
the Boston and Maine report that the
Scarboro marshes were covered by water
BY the high tide and resem bled huge
lake. Considerable damage was done by
this high water to the stacks of salt hay
which have not yet been removed from
the marshes. The gunners' shanties all
over the marshes have been floated from
their foundations and are in fair way
to float out to sea.

A Possibility That the Dividend Rates
Will be Raised.

A deed transferring from the Canadian
Pacific Railrod Company to the Boston
& Maine the line of road extending from
the State line to Riohford to Newport.
the present terminus of both lines, has
been recorded in the Town Clerks office
at Richford, vt. 1t is said the change
is to take effect Jan. l.
A reporter had talk with director
Of the Boston & Maine, and asked him
why that stock, on six per cent. basis,
sells higher than the Concord & Mon
treal, and the reply was: 81 can answer
that very easily. Our corporation is
earning large profits, and the public, be-
lieyes that the dividend rate on our COM
mon stock is to be raised to eight per
cent, and perhaps higher"
The director was then asked if an in
crease was to be made, and the answer
was: 81 do not feel at liberty to answer
that question at this time, but I violate
no secrecy in saying that the net earn
ings of our system are now large enough
to warrant the paying of eight per cent
dividends on our common Stock

OF. having an elaborate celebration of the
victory won by General jackson and his

ish, but he will fire a salute in the morn
ing, having received the necessary per-
mission to do so from Mayor Baxter.
1t is understood that Chambers band
may go up and give Mr. Sweetsir call
during the evening, there being feeling
that some return is due to the man who
has got up SO many celebrations and
very likely leading Democrats may drop
around and make him a friendly call,
but Mr.. 4weetsir's part in the celebra-
ton will be the firing of the salute.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The article in yesterdays morning
paper with reference TO proposed church
directory, Which Mr.. Arthur Jordan.
formerly of this city, was TO issue, was
misleading.
Mr.. Jordan has been called away from
the city, and although absent the book

douot for free distribution, aud all

without doubt be amply paid for their

have been fully paid, with the exception
OF very few, which they have not as

At the Same Time on Portland Bridge-One
Belonged to an Electric Car, the Other
to'a Cabbage Cart.

A singular coincidence happened on
Portland Bridge yesterday. The electric
car from Portland was just approaching
the draw at about one O'Clock, when the
front axle broke This did not stop the
car Immediately. 1t was able to cross the
draw and half way across the remainder
of the bridge. when it was thrown from
the track. All four of the cars that are
running on the line came together on the
bridge before the disabled car was re-
moved. 1t delayed the carrying of pas
sengers for some time.
At about the same minute that the axle
of the car broke on the Portland side of
the draw, the axle of big cabbage cart,
belonging to Mr.. Waite of Cape Eliza
beth, broke on the other side of the
draw. One front wheel went rolling
away and the cart came down. splitting
part of it's contents.

The Yacht Club "smoker."

Pleasantly informal, summed up the
story of the "smoker'' of the Portland
Yacht Club last evening. 1t is hardly
probable that one of the many ancient
mariners there assembled will ever see
aiother New Years eve like the one
they celebrated, or look out again at that
SEASON Of the year on harbor with SO
little about it suggestive of winter.
1t was bright scene, recalling some
way the old lines:
"And many song they sung,
And many a story told
AS they sat there each in his place,
Those sailors grim and bold. %
And so song and story, bright hits and
merry sayings filed up the passing hours
until at midnight the gun was fred and
