GOLD NOT PAID FOR SILVER.

Carlisle Has Never Heard Of the Dollars
Being Exchanged.
burlington Vermont Free Press
Sept. 2.
The subjoined reply has been re-
ceived by letter addressed to Secre-
tary Carlisle by Senator Faulkner as
to whether the treasury department
ever had demand, or, in fact, mad
ever redeemed the silver dollar IN
gold:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 26, 1875. }
The Hon. Charles j. Faulkner, WASH
ington, ID. c.:
NV Dear Sir:-Your favor of the
21st inst. reached here during my aD-
sence, and hence the delay in answer
ing.
so far as l have been able TO ascer-
tain, neither the treasury department
or any sub-tTeasurY has ever peen
called upon to redeem silver dollars IN
gold. At the sub-treasury IN san
Francisco it often happens that silver
dollars are paid out in exchange Tor
gold dollars, and gold is paid out in
exchange for silver in small amounts,
but this simply occurs in the ordinary
transaction of the business at that
place and for the purpose of accom-.
mOdating the public with money OF
small denominations when needed,
and for securing for the sub-treasury
money of small denominations when
needed.
1t is not in any sense of the term a
redemption of the silver dollars in
gold, or of the gold in silver. The re-
suit of all these transactions at that
sub-treasury is that the government
gains much more gold than it loses.
Very truly yours,
J. G.. CARLISLE.

Most Difficult Piece Of Music.

A number of the most celebrated of
French pianists were recently asked to
state the piece which they found it
most difficult to execute. The answers
are naturally most varied There is a
general agreement that difficulties of
style are much less easy to overcome
than those Of technique. From the
standpoint OF mechanical difficulty, M
Mar1nontel thinks Beethoven's Sonata
OPP. 8 the most redoubtable piece. NJ
Diemer and M. Plante accord the palm
to Balaclsireff's LIslamey, and M.
PfeiffeV finds himself embarrassed be-
tween the claims OF LISTS 'Ehapsodies
and Studies, Tausig.s :Transcriptions"
and Alkan's Variations. M. Della
brode discreetly and systematically re-
plies that the most difficult piece for
him is invariably the piece which he
happens to be playing at any moment

as it does the most perfect
equality throughout the supreme
and one must work at it, he
declares, until ones last breath

Something New In Windmihs.

The old-time windmill-that tower
ing skeleton of ribs and fans with
which we are familiar-has recently
been improved in fashion that
promises much better results--an in
creased rate of power and much greater
ease of management. Instead of fans
or arms turning over and over, wheel
fashion, the conditions are reversed,
the axle being perpendicular, and the
fans turning from side to side. This
arrangement has advantages, in that
the machinery can be made stronger,
and by an ingeniously contrived set of
levers the fans open and close auto
matically. This is of great Importance,
as sudden gale is liza ble to wreck an
ordinary windmill on short notice.
With this new device, it is claimed that
no matter how rapidly the fans may re-
volve, they will catch the wind only Ct
the proper time, the other side opening
to give free passage 70 the air; thus the
higher the gale, the higher the rate OF
speed and the more effective the
machinery. It is said that in windy
countries enough power can be gener-
ated to run a small dynamo. The
greatest value of windmill is in coun-
tries where continual pumping Of
water is necessary for purposes of irri-
cation. 4 windmill constructed on
this new principle costs no more than
the old style. is Infinitely more effect
i've, less liza bic to get out Of order, and
has a greater variety Of uses than any
heretofore made.

WILLIAMS COUNTY.
A Brief Description Of It's Great
Inducements to Settlers.

WILLIAMS COUNTY is the extreme
Northwest county of the State of North
Dakota, with the Missouri River forming
it's southern boundary, and it has a river
frontage of about ESQ miles. The County
covers an area of nearly 1850 square
miles, and embraces about 3,00e, 600
acres of excellent farming and grazing
lands. About onehalf Of the County is
underlaid with a superior quality Of
Ignite Coal, which is found il stratas
varying from three feet to twenty feet
in thickness. There are also numerous
beds of sulphur Of extra tine quality
The soil is rich and durable, and by raA.
son of the peculiar formation of the sur
face Of the country, irrigation is re ndered
both practicable and cheap. Cereals OF
all kinds and vegetables flourish here in
abundance, and always pay the producer
q handsome margin for his labor.
AS G stock-raising country Williams
County is equal to any other region in
the western states. Hay and shelter are
found in abundance along the Missouri
river and the small streams running
through the interior Of the county.
Williams County offers the most adj
vantageous inducements to settlers by
its famous stockraising ranges, and its
own cheap fuel in wood and coal. The
winters are mild, and all classes of stock
Craze oct on the ranges nearly the entire
season through, requiring but very little
extra feeding. All kinds Of building
material and excellent clay for brick
making can be found in many localities
throughout the county.
Financially, Williams County is abso-
lutely out Of debt, there being not a
dollar of bonded Indebtedness, nor any
outstanding warrants, as shown by the
official statement Of the County Auditor
and Treasurer on July 1st, 1895.
WILLISTON, the County Seat of Will
liams County, is beautifully located on
the Great Northern Railroad, with the
Missouri River washing its southern
limits. and situated only twenty miles
from Fort Buford.
Williston has two hotels. six stores, two
saw mills, frst-class blacksmith and
wagon shop, two meat markets., one
newspaper and job printing Office, four
restaurants, two dress-makihg shops, Il
carpenters shop, two brick yards, bar
ber-shop, two churches, school house,
q court house and Jail, two billiard halls,
and four sample rooms. It is the freight
division of the Great Northern Railroad
with it's roundhouse and shops located
here. In fact, the volume Of business
transacted here will compare favorably
with any town fits size in the north west

NEW GAMBLING WRINKLE.
lIov Some jolly Fellows Seek 10 WOO the
Goddess Of Fortune.

ylOv SOmo Jolly reAO"S SccA ~ WV sAAN
Goddess of Fortune.
There is new form of gambling much
affected in clubs and barrooms nova.
DAYS that even the board OF trade will
find it hard to put stop to, says the
Washington Post. Everyone is familiar
with the electric fans which in the past
few years have proved such boon in
torrid weather. They are shaped like
a propeller and have four, five or six
blades and are incased in wire cages
with large apertures. BY touching
lever at the back the machine can be
started or stopped at will, and while in
motion the velocity is something ire
mendous. Some wide-awake genius
not long ago conceived the idea that
the electric fan could be utilized as an
excellent means of wooing the goddess
of fortune and put the suggestion into
operation in this wise: A six-bladed
fan was stopped and each OF
its blades marked with num-
Der. Then six slips of paper were
marked with similar numbers and
six jolly fellows drew slip apiece.
The number on the slip correspondent
to the number on one of the blades and
it was decided that the blade that was
nearest the perpendicular wire at the
bottom of the cage covering the fan
when the latter stopped revolving
should win the pot. The latter con-
sisted of six dollars, put up equally by
the half-dozen players. Then the fun
began. The lever would be turned on
and as quickly off and the fan would
revolve like lightning, slow down and
stop in half minute. There was no
s'kitty' to be fed as in poker, no per-
centage of split, as in faro, and no rake
off for the house, as in other games. 1t
was pure luck affair and the heaviest
loser was not more than five dollars
out at the end of an hours whirling,
while the excitement had been as in
tense as the most devoted gambler
could desire. Next day each one of the
six introduced the electric fan to his
friends in it's new guise as a spinning
Jenny and now the game has spread
all over town: The interest in it is
heightened good deal by having a
blank blade, which when it stops at
the winning wire constitutes jack
pot and necessitates the players put
ting up an extra stake, just as in
poker So from one dollar ante in
brokers' offices to whirling for coppers
BY district messengers the electric fan
is being brought into requisition with
reneral hilaritv,

SMOKEJACkS AND CAPS.
An Increasing Number Coming Into View
Upon the City's Housetops.

SIT seems to me-" said New York
citizen recently, that there is very
striking increase in the number Of
minneapolis and smolzejacks and
smokecaps visible in the city. The
chimneypots are mostly of the con
ventional form, like a slightly tapering
cone with the top cut off; the smoke
Jacks and caps are of various heights
and styles. l suppose the object of all
these things is to improve the draught
of the chimney. don't know why we
should have more of them now than
we used to, whether it is on account of
our chimneys, which makes them nee
essary; whether we ars not satisfied
with a draught that would have salts
fed US years ago, and want the chin
ney to draw better as we want and ex-
pect to have everything better nova
days; or whether the construction in
these days Of many higher buildings
has made such changes in the air cur
rents and atmospheric conditions gen.
orally as materially to affect the
draught of many chimneys: but know
there are more chimney pots.
This last idea about the breaking
up Of the air currents and that sort of
thing seemed at first to account in some
measure for the greater number of the
newer chimneypots; but when l come
to think of it l remember that in Lon
don riding along viaduct on trains 60
ing in or out Of the city, looked down
on should say hundreds of thousands
Of chimneypots in districts where hun
dreds of acres were covered with small
houses of unvarying uniformity in
height. There wasn't any detection of
currents here, but I doubt if there was
q chimney without it's chimneypot. a
thick stubble of cllimneypots, and a
mast fascinating sight it was, too, and a
fascinating thought to think Of the myri-
ads Of people that dwelt beneath them.
Our chimneypots have not yet by
any means attained that striking eff
feet. They are still greatly scattered:
but, with the snolzejacks and the
smokecaps, they are now sufficiently
numerous to add to the city a feature
Of picturesqueness."

Iowa Lakes Disappearing.

There is no longer doubt as to the
gradual disappearance Of the smaller
lakes in northwestern Iowa. It is only
of late that the phenomenon has at
lrncted general attention, and but re-
GENTLY. have people become interested
ia the preservation Of these natural
bodies Of water. Whether anything
can be done to check tho process effect
ing their extinction is q problem worthy
tg serious consideration.
