Don't Want Dollars

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. THE banks
of this city were notified today by the
United tSates treasury department hat
it would no longer continue the practic
of exchanging standard silver dollars for
gold. The reason assigned for this Or
der is that there are now more silver GER
tificates and treasury notes of 1890 out
standing than there are silver dollars In
the treasury. Silver half dollars how
ever, will continue to be exchanged for
gold, and the probable effect of the treas
ury order will be to put more of these
coins into circulation.

the matter Of exports.

free. These figures show decrease of
about $4,000, 900 below those of 1896. Tho
decrease was due to heavy reduction
in the importation of raw wool, which
decreased from 4,651 900 pounds i'm Au-
gust of last year to 2,S77,S77 pounds last
August, manufa ctured wool from $3 709,-

BRITISH EXPORTS

LONDON, Oct S.-The morning papers
comment on the continued decline in
British exports. The board Of tradere-
turns for September show TX decline,
as compared with the corresponding
month of last year. 1t is admitted that
this is mainly due to the Dingley tariff.
The Times says: "Whatever Its ult.-
mate effect, it is clear that the immedi-
ate result of protection in America is to
close the American markets very largely
to British exports. We may as we'll make
up our minds to this fact, and seek an
opening for our goods elsewhere"

Phenomenal Growth.

The progress of the South since
Appomattox, says Southern paper,
has no parallel outside Of romance.
In 1866 we had no money, no credit,
no hope. Many of our cities were in
ashes, our plantations were wrecked,
and our railways were worn out. To
day we have land of peace and
plenty, $4,000 miles of railway, and
our average percentage of increase Of
per capita wealth for the decade
ending in 1890 was 100 per cent. more
than that of New England or the
central West.
We are drawing capital and we are
making capital. Ten years ago we
had 22O national banks; now we have
500. The percentage of the increase
of our foreign exports is about five
times the combined gain at the other
ports of the country. A few days age
we showed by reliable stat sites that
we have fewer failures with smaller
liabilities in the South than in othel
sections. We showed, too, that ir
development and production our prog
ress had been phenomenal, and thai
the growth of our diversified manu-
features made total during the las
five years of over 1900 new in
dustries.
Now, take this fact: Since 1sS
our assessed property has increased
81, 600, 900, 900 in value, according t.
the reports for 1890. When section
can accomplish SO much in twenty
seven years-starting with onl
battle-f fields and ruins for assets
the outlook ought to be bright.

CHAPTER XII.


Bertie's hope was realized. No undue
exhibition of temper on the part OF his
father had cut short his visit, and though
several weeks had passed, he was appar-
emily a fixture at The Cedars for an in
definite period.
He made the most Of his opportunity
for enjoying Alices society, and the
Colonel smiled grimly at his maturing
plans.
But he was not Of vacillating char
acter, and as time went on, and matters
had not reached definite settlement,
he began to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
some action on his part.
With this idea in view he came rather
unexpectedly on BERTHE and Alice in the
sitting-room one morning.
He regarded them tixedly for mo-
ment, and with a look Of grim determin-
alton, and in words which fell with the
force Of a bombshell on the ears of his
surprised listeners, he exclaimed:
| What under heaven are you two mop.
| ing in here for? Confound me, If | I'M
derstand such nonsense. For heavens
sake, BERTHE, have spunk enough to ask
| tuS Slll " No youi "AAO' AVN = "'sH
counting your mother said-plague
take that girl if she hasn't run away
This comes of your everlasting fooling
May the Lord give me patience witt
such young ninnies! Where's she gone?
"I'll find her, sir, volunteered BERTHE
borrowing his fathers determination Of
| face and voice.
He left the room with alacrity, ant
passing down the long hall locked int
every room; but no Alice was to b.
seen. An open door leading into tn
garden suggested her possible mode o
escape, and Immediately he followed
the narrow path which led to summe
house. A few rapid steps brought hin
up to the crouching figure.
Alice, he called, with new gentle
ness in his tones.
"Ill never forgive uncle, never!" sh
exclaimed, with her face still buried il
her hands, and her voice limiting rattle
strongly Of tears.
Poor father, don't think he de
serves your ill-will. Look up, Alice,
have something 10 tell you.
"Bertle. il you don tleaEe mo III hat
