Begsars Bothered the Bostonian.

Last week a citizen of Boston was
"touched for a dime four times in
walking two blocks ON Broadway, New
York. All of the beggars were well
dressed. 1t was rainy, and two Of them
had silk umbrellas. One of them sported
q watch chain, while the tops Of a cou-
pie of cigars stuck out the vest pocket
of another. How such men have the
nerve to beg on the street in a brisk,
businesslike way is a mystery to a man
from Boston Boston Post.

WHEN RICHARD LovELACE CAME &c

The feet Of time make fast their pace,
And we, like players in a play,
Strut up and down our little space
And act our parts as best we may.
Alasl Alack, and well a dayl
The stage is Digit in somber hue,
Where once that stately vogue held sway,
When Richard Lovelace came to WOO.
and much we marvel as we trace
The feuds and foibles passed away,
While pomp Of power and pride OF place
Troop down the years in grand array.
In court and camp, in fete and fray,
Tickle and fippant, stanch and true,
such were the gallants, bold and gay,
When Richard Lovelace came to woo.
IN doublet fine and frills OF lace,
The lover sought his suit to pay,
With such a form and such q face,
Who could resist his plea, ! prsyf
And then that tender roundelay,
SO like O wood doves plaintive coo
Sweet Lucy could not say him nay,
When Richard Lovelace came to o
ENVOY.
Ho, Kentish towers! Your lordly race
Had swords to draw and deeds to do,
In that evensful year of grace,

A VALUABLE DIME.

and when all the facts are know1. re-
garding its scarcity it is not unlikely
that it will command a much higher
premium.
Inquiry at the mint ELECTED the in
formation that during the fiscal year Of
1894 only "a dimes were coined at the
San Francisco mint. How this came
about was told by Chief Clerk Robert
Barnett.
"All undercurrent subsidiary coins
viz, those containing other than the de-
sign now being used-when received at
the subtreasury are not again allowed
TO go into circulation, but are sent to
the mint to be recoined with the our
rent design. In the course of the year
1894 we received a large sum in these
coins, but having an ample stock Of
dimes ON hand it was not intended to
coin any of that denomination in 1894.
WHeu uoaIiy IL VI Ihlo Suu-
sidiary coin bullion had been utilized,
we found on our hands a quantity that
would coin to advantage only into
dimes, and into dimes it was coined,
making just "a Of them.
my attention was first drawn to the
matter particularly by the receipt Of a
letter from a collector somewhere east
requesting a set of the coins of 1894.
In filling this order I found there were
no dimes of that date ON hand. Suisse
quently / received quite a number Of
similar letters and in each case was of
course unable to furnish them.
PLENTY of dimes were coined that
year at Philadelphia and New Orleans
minis, but there are many collectors
who accumulate the coinage Of each
mint, as each has its distinguishing
mark. Those coined here bear a letter s
under the eagle. New Orleans uses the
letter o and Carson City the letter G.,
while Philadelphia coins are identified
by the absence of the letter.
"We receive each year about so re-
quests from coin collectors for coins,
mostly for those Of silver. San Fran

WASHINGTON, D, c.. Sept. IA
Great interest attached to the cabinet
meeting to-day on account of the var
lous important questions which are
pending, and the fact that It was the
first meeting in some weeks, Every
member of the cabinet, except Secretary
Long who Is out OF the city, reached
the white house promptly at II o'clock
and each had with him an unusually
large number of papers and documents
relating to matters pending in his de-
partment.
Though there was very full discus
sion OF the Union Pacific railroad mat
ter, 1t Is learned that no decision was
reached as to the course to be pursued
by the government, and It Is presumed
that no announcement will be made re-
garding 1t until definite conclusion Is
reached.
some differences Of opinion on mat
ters of detail developed between Secre-
tary Alger and Attorney General Nc
Kenna over the San Pedro harbor pro-
ject and It was left TO these two cabi-
net officers to adjust these differences OF
opinion, and then to make statement
on the subject for the benefit of the
public.
Secretary Alger brought up the Klon-
dixie rush and adverted to the probable
necessity OF relief measures for the ben
eft of Americans who have rushed
heediessiy into the gold fields, but the
discussion of this matter was very in
formal and fruitless OF results,
With reference 10 the Klondlke rush
Secretary Alger laid before the cabinet
several kilograms urging relief for
stricken prospectorst Including one from
the citizens committee OF Tacoma, rep
resentIng that distress existed already
at Dawson City, stating that starvation
had begun and praying that revenue
cutter be sent with supplies to St MI
chaels and chances taken on getting the
supplies 10 those In need of them. The
discussion made 1t evident that the
cabinet was not quite clear that the
government authorities had warrant of
law for furnishing supplies. but Secre-
tnry Alger telegraphed to Senator Per-
kins, OF California. who is interested IN
a line to Alaska, asking him II he would
undertake to deliver n shipload Of sup
piles at st. Michaelg. II II be found that
the law will not permit the government
to send supplies then relief will be fur
hished by private persons In order that
a horror may not grow out OF the rush
for gold. Some consideration also was
given to the practicabillty OF getting
supplies In by way Of projected win
ter trail via Dyea,
The government will now so ahead
with the construction of breakwater
at San Pedro and win push work on
the project. though some matters yet
remain open for adjustment.
After the cabinet meeting, Secretary
Aleer, In answer to Inquiries, authorized
the following statement:
You can say that on the sixth OF
August / received at Hotel Champlain
an opinion from the attorney general,
which was In effect that would be JUS
titled under the act concerning San Pc
dro tn building the breaiwater and ex-
pending so much Of the money as Is
necessary for that purpose without re-
gard to the improvements OF the harbor
The work will be advertised for in due
time In accordance with that opinion"
