FIRST LIEUTENANTS.
Companies b and al Meet to Elect
New Officers

AT the meeting of Company B in the
drill shed last night Lieutenant Z. A ia
cobsen was reelected first lieutenant.
The name of W. W. Needham was put
before the members, but friends of his
arose and said it was simply foolishness
for them TO suggest Mr.. Needham at all,
for even IL he was elected he would not
accept the position on account of his
duties as Custom House Inspector. After
the election of Mr.. Jacobsen as first lieu
tenant the whole company marched
down to the Elite ice cream parIors,
where they partook of cooling refresh
ments. 1T was Lieutenant Jacobsen 5
treat.
While the Company B election was go-
ing on Company II was in its own room
doing the same thing, the position of
first lieutenant having been made vacant
by the desertion of H. F. Heuss. Cor
poral Coon and Private Carlyle formerly
of Company Ed were nominated, the lat
ter being elected on the first ballot by a
vote of % to Z. There were 81 members
present, but one man refused to vote.
After the election there was a pleasant
little social time.

1t Is an interesting question when
tender Of silver coin can be refused
by reason of abrasion. The question
was brought before the Supreme Court
of the United States in case involving
the refusal Of ten-cent piece offered
in paymert of car fare on street rail-
road in Jersey City. The conductor
refused the coin when rendered because
he thought 1t was not worth par, hay
ing been worn by abrasion while in
circulation. The passenger was eject
ed from the car and brought suit for
damages. He recovered a jp igment,
which was affirmed by the Supreme
Court of New Jersey, and this judgment
has been affirmed by the Supreme Court
of the United States in an opinion rem
dered by the chief justice. In affirming
the Judgment Chief Justice Fuller re-
ferred to the law regulating the pas
sage of defaced and abraded coins. and
declared that there was no provision
against the passage of silver coins
which were abraded only by circulation,
and that they were legal tender as long
as they bore semblance of the coin.

Cane umbrellas are not novelty On
paper but as successful reality they

ordinary size. The metal handle Is adj

interior of the cane contains the SILK

Fort after fort fell into their possession.
and in the end, following spon repeated
assaults Augusta, Ga, became their
prize At Eutaw Springs Lee was again
with Greene and took prominent part.
After tho war General Lee became
member of the continental congress, and
as a Virginia delegate became an elo-
quent defender Of the constitution. In
1875 Washington appointed him com
mander of the forces sent to suppress
the whisky" rebellion in Pennsylvania.
He entered congress i'll 1899.
The first official at the head Of tho
nation when the United States Union
was formed was John Langdon Of New
Hampshire. He presided over the senate
before the president and vice president
were qualified, and officially notified
Washington Of his election when the
votes had been counted Langdon was u
member of the continental congress, and
owing to absence on official business
when the Declaration was signed missed
chance for immortality which he GER
tainly merited. His services to tho re-
public and to the cause of the patriots
covered the whole period of strife and
organization. While speaker of the, New
Hampshire assembly in TIT he selected
Stark to lead the forces against Bur-
goyne and supplied the funds out Of his
own fortune to equip the troops. Lang
don went to the field himself and was
with Stark at Bennington. He also
fought at Saratoga and i'll Rhode Island.
In 1888 he became governor Of New
Hampshire which then included the
territory now forming the state Of Yer
mont. He was a ,Tetfersonian in poll
tics, but this did not prevent Hamilton,
the great opponent Of Jefferson, from ex-
claiming with reference to Langdon and
his political affiliations, Il see an hon

lions established by the Paris tribunal,

The Supervisors of st. Lawrence
county, N. Y, have unanimously voted
to request the legislators from that
county to help make the legal rate OF
.iMteres. five instead of six per cent in
New York state. Advocates Of the bill
argue that many Of the loans on real
estate are made at five per cent now.
and there Is no reason why all good
loans should not be at that rate. 1t IS
not likely that reducing the rate to five
per cent would drive any appreciable
amount of capital from New Pork state.
It is the better security which eastern
loans give that gives them the prefer
ence over the seven, eight and even ten
per cent offered by the western loan
companies. With the rate of interest
reduced to five per cent there would be
large demand from farmers for va
ritds improvements which they cannot
afford to borrow money for at the six
per cent rate The lower rate will also
give better security. 1t will probably
net the lender as much as six per cent
when offset by the losses that the larger
rate usually involves.
