WASHINGTON, May S.-Secretsry OF
the Treasury Gage issued an order Sat
urday that as soon as the 81, 81 and S
bills recently issued by the treasury,
and known as the Carlisle certificates,
come in they are to be destroyed. They
viii be replaced by bills Of q new de-
sign. The bills now In circulation
have proved far from satisfactory.
The objections urged against them are
numerous. The most serious is that
the 81 and s. bills are so much alike
that it is difficult at glance to tell
them apart

what the Drummer Would Like,

KANSAS CITY, No, May 4.-Com-
mercial travellers have not yet aban-
doned all hope of inducing the western
railroads to issue a 5000 mile inter
changeable ticket at two cents a
mile. They would prefer such action
to the enactment Of laws fixing the
maximum rate Of fare at two cents a
mile by the legislatures Of the western
states They find that such reduced
rates would be good for everybody,
and what they desire is a lower rate
than the general public gets.

so far as their legal contract rights
are concerned. The Kansas City court
Of appeals says so J. W. Niemeyer
and wife, Of Cole county, sued Joseph
Niemeyer for expenses incurred in
keeping the defendants son as per
contract. The defendant demurred
because the wife was an unneees-
sary and improper party defend
ant The court Of appeals said the
sustaining of the demurrer was an
error. ''The wife in this state may
contract and be contracted with and
may sue and be sued, whether her hus-
band joins her or no" says the court
''There was a binding contract IN this
case. The statute has completely
emaneipated the wife and gives her
full power to contract with any and
every person except only her hus-
band"

The Worth OF A Dollar.

W0Bulu8tOu WV
Those great metropolitan dai-
lies, the Sun, Evening Post and
World, of New York, differ in
many respects-differ widely and
radically-but they are three OF a
kind when it comes to lying about
the silver dollar and its value. We
may suspect the World of sheer
ignorance when it says that "a
standard silver dollar is now worth
almost exactly forty cents" The
World is not remarkable for the
extent or the accuracy OF its in
formation. The Sun and the Eve
ming Post, however, are distin-
guished for that as for the vicious
and ignoble uses to which they
sometimes put it They are per-
fectly aware that, in saying "the
silver dollar is worth but N.l3
cents" they are saying what is
not true, and that deliberately.
They know thst the silver dollar,
bearing the stamp of the United
States, is worth exactly 100 cents,
and that it viii be received at that
value by the government II sim
ply happens that in no matter re-
lating to silver coinage are these
Wall street organs willing to tell
the truth.
It is very unfortunate, though
in view Of the closing of the

And if, despairing of justice, the faith

the English law permits an unfaithful
