HOW THE GoVERNMENr KEGS

The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1896-06-11
Truly yours,

No silver dollars arc allowed TO be coin
ed each month. In 1873 Congress passed.
an act providing that no more silver
dollar pieces should be coined but leaV-
ing the Government authority 10 coin all
the halves, quarters. and dimes that the
country needed for change. In 1875 the
law called the Bland-Allson law was
passed directing the Secretary Of the
Treasury TO buy two millions OF dollars
worth Of silver bullion each month. and to
coin it into dollar pieces. This lasted
until 1890 when the sherman silver law
WAS passed. which directed the Secretary
Of the Treasury to buy 100000 ounces
Of silver each month and to coin up as
much Of II as ne might think the country
needed. Under the two laws. little
more than four hundred millions Of sill
YER dollar pieces have been coined anu
We have about s7s,Ooo.oo0 Of silver small
coins. That is the state Of our silver coin
age and our silver dollars are fun legal
tender for any amount whatever
The silver dollars are really worth
only a little more than fifty cents each.
But the Government lays its duties and
taxes in gold dollars and receives silver
dollars in payment OF them. In other
words the Government recognizes and
treats the silver dollar as the equivalent
OF the gold dollar wherever it sees one
While It does rhis. other people will do the
same. II IS in substance rcdeeming sill
yer dollars in gold dollars whenever de-
manded, though It does not do that direct
ly SO long as the number OF silver
dollars is no greater than at present.
the Government is able to do this. But
If we should have free coinage OF silver,
so that every man could take 81 IA grains
Of silver. worth only fifty cents. TO the
mint and receive silver dollar that
would pay dollar of debt. we should
soon have 50 many silver dollars that the
Government would be unable to do this.
and then silver dollars would fall to their
bullion value OF fifty cents each. That is
what Mr.. Smith meant.

BENNE CANDY.

New York Times.
Benne candy is a delicacy of the
South. At one time old mammies
could be found selling it in the mar
kets, ~and every Southern child knew
it. There is a Southern family in
Brooklyn which sends South every
year for two or three pounds of benne
seeds, and the fortunate friends OF
the family have a treat. The benne
seed is a little smaller than canary
seed and resembles it in appearance.
The candy is made very much after
the fashion OF the familiar peanut
brittle, the seeds taking the place of
the peanuts, but connoisseurs say that
it is much more delicate. The seeds
are roasted first in skillet and ther
stirred into the candy mixture. The
plant is cultivated in most tropica
and subtropical countries for the SAX
OF the seed and the oil expressed from
it. The seeds themselves are uset
largely for food in Asia and Africa
and are exceedingly nutritious. Cana
ries are fond of them, butthey are in
furious except in very small quaint
ties. The Chinese make a c%0nfectiol
IN which what appears to be the sam
seed is used. But the Chinese make
regular peanut brittle, full of nnts
and the benne seed is covered thickl
over the outside. 1t is to be foun'
freshly made in some Of the Chimes
stores in New York.

HIS FOOT WENT TO sBasES.
IT NEvxR wkKED UP AND IN TWENTY
nIys THE MAN WAS DEAD:

Kansas City Times.
W. A. Fox, OF Argentine. died yes
terday in the Santa Fe Railway Hos
pital at Topeka, directly from the ef-
fects OF his foot ''golng to sleep" last
election day. Absolutely no possible
explanation Of the strange case can
be given by the surgeons and physic-
jans in charge of it. Nothing in mcdi-
cal science throws any light upon it.
1t is the first and only instance OF the
kind known to the profession, and has
caused ascnsation among its members.
W. A. Fox, who was 46 years old,
had been an engineer on the Atcllison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railway for sew
eral years, running out Of Argentine.
He was well and fayorably known
there, and looked upon as a substan'
tial citizen. During the fall, when
Major Willard made his selection OF
election officers, lie appointed Fox as
one of the uldges in the Third Wa.
On Nov. 3, election day, Fox took
his place in the booth. He remained
there all day. At night he began
checking ballots. The task lasted I'M
til morning, and all this time Fox sat
In one position, almost without NOV
ing.
The morning of the 4th Fox went
home. He claimed that sitting in one
position had caused his left foot to go
to sleep. 1t panied him slightly, but
he paid no attention to it, going To
bed and sleeping nearly all day and
night. 1t was not until the morning
of the 9Th that the matter became
serious. Then Fox was taken with
sharp, jerking pains in his left bly,
toe. Day by day the trouble spread
through his foot and up his leg, unit
the entire limb was lifelcss. DR.
Chopper, the Santa Fe surgeon, wa
called, but could give no relief.
After consultation over the strang
case it was decided that the lin
must necessarily be amputated as til

open for 4 good story and he relatedso-
the Gazette nan a capital joke, which
used to be told very frequently by the
late Or. Stillman.
In the lamcnted doctors young days
he was preaching down near Gaines
vile where there were a great number
of colored people. An Episcopal clergy
man and himself were the only minis
tiers there and so they frequently had
weddings, funerals and all sorts or
services to attend to. In most OF these
the doctor was called upon to oificlate,
as the colored people were not so well
acquainted with the Episcopal minis
ter or the Episcopal service.
There was to- be n very swell wed-
ding in high colored circles, however,
one day, and the Episcopal minister
was called upon to perform the cere-
mony. 1t was directly after the war
and III negoes had great ideas OF
their Importance. This event was
widely talked of and when the wed
ding day arrived there was a large and
dusky cloud of witnesses assembled to
view the scence. There must have
been 1900 negroes gathered under the
big arbor which had been erected neal
the banks Of the Bigbee for the cere-
mOny.
The hour grew on apace and the
coming of the bridal party was herald
cd to the delight of the waiting multi
tude. At this moment the clergyman
disappeared behind some bushes to put
on his vestments.
Just as the bride and groom appear

with dignihed tread, clad in his flow
