Prompt lesson.

Some years ago there was in West
ern town judge whose ideas of the
majesty of the law, at the time of his
accession to Office, were unbounded;
and his sense of his own Importance as
the representative of justice was also
great.
AT one time two persons quarreled in
the judges presence; one man struck
the other, and the judge Immediately
ordered his arrest on charge of as
sault and battery.
On the day of the trial the defendar.
pleaded, Not guilty."
Instantly the Judge, who was short,
stout man, was on his feet, crimson
faced and putting with indignation.
"What do you mean:" he demanded
of the prisoner, without any preamble.
"What do you mean by saying thar.
when saw you, and had you arrest
ed? l fine you one hundred dollars
for breach of peace, and another hun
dred for contempt of court, sir. reck-
on" said the judge, his nostrils dilat-
ing with rage and injured dignity. II

Bineta,lism In ENGLAND

An item Of news from London may
or may not have special significance,
but In either event 1t is wouthy Of note
that the first formal luncheon to Am
bassador Hay was rendered to him by
the Bimetallic League Of Great Britain.
1t is certainly to be hoped that this in
cident may have in 1t an element of
prophecy. The term bimetallism as
used by our British cousins does not
mean free silver or anything akin
thereto. Nor does the cause Of genu-
inc bimetallism require that Great Brit
ain should abandon its monetary policy

States seeks by the promotion of an

ence is not interference with the do
mestic money of any country, but the

Punishment that No Man Need Fear
in the Police Court.
If any respectable person should hap.
pen to get into the hands of the police
and be fined by city magistrate, when
he had no money and didn't want to
make known his plight to friends, lie
might be benefited by knowing that
some threatened terms of Imprisonment
are not SO awful as they seem to be.
This is due to the fact that the day of
commitment and the day of discharge
always count in law as full days, and
that 1t is the custom not to put a per-
son to serving out sentence until the
end of the day of commitment and to
release him on the morning of the day
Of discharge.
A curious instance of how this works
was witnessed the other day at the
Charles street police station. A Sun re-
porter had gone there upon some news
errand, and while he talked to the SER
geant at the desk he noticed that the
main room was nearly filled with push
carts.
I'VE have had to make raid upon
lot of the poor fellows" explained the
sergeant.
Just then policeman came in with
! two venders and reported at the desk.
''They We're all fined 81 each or one
day." he said, referring to the batch of
push-cart men that he had taken to
court. 'These two men paid their fines
and have come back with me to get
their CARTS"
"All right" said the sergeant; "get
some men from the back room and help
them out with the carts"
While the carts were got out the SER
geant glanced up at the clock.
Its after A." he said. "All the rest
Of them will be here in a minute or
two. You'd better stay and be ready to
help them out with the rest of the
carts.''
You see," continued the sergeant to
the reporter, "these two men who paid
their fines have saved only few min
lltes, and if they had not been green
horns they would have kept their
money. The others, guess, have been
there before. The official day in court
ends at 4 o'clock, when the court ad-
journs, and all the prisoners who have
been fined 81 or committed for one day
are released. It's time for the others to
be here now"
Sure enough. as he spoke they came
trooping in. They were smiling, and
they glanced with quizzical looks at the
men who had paid their fines and We're
going down the street.-New York Sun.

Exports of Gold.

Exports Of gold last week amounted
to nearly 100000 day. This figure
has not been reached before since that
fatal February when the treasury
trembled upon the verge of suspension
of gold payments and Mr.. Cleveland
was compelled to make n hasty con-
tract ut pawnbrokers' interest with the
New York bankers to get the $62, ,O0O,-
600 necessary to replenish the gold re-
serve. OF course, the cause is very
different now. Then the balance Of
trade was in our favor aud there was
no commercial reason for exports.
Gold was sent abroad because foreign
creditors demanded it for American Sc
curities, which they were sending home
because they doubted our ability or in
tention to pay them, when due, in the
money Of the world.
The cause Of the present movement
is purely commercial, though it is not
strictly natural. The distrust that
brought our securities back was remov-
ed by McKinley's election. The treas
ury reserve has a surplus of over $780,
100000. and gold is no longer boarded
in New York. We can spare gold for
export, and the movement causes no
alarm. Nevertheless, the export is not
natural, and, strictly speaking, not nec-
essary. Gold is going abroad to pay for
exports Of all kinds of dutiable articles,
for in excess Of the present needs Of
the country. In anticipation of increase
Of duties Of the Dingley bill, importers
are bringing in enough goods of cer-
tain kinds to meet the home demand

Iapan,s Cotton Goods.

Among the changes in the past few
years in the expert movement of cot
ton, those that have taken place at
points on the Pacific Coast and at PEN
sacola are most worthy of notice. The
exports from San Francisco to Japan
for the first five months of the season
1e95-06 were 2O,64O bales, against 25,-
257 the same period Of the present sea-
son. The exports from Puget Sound
to Japan for the same months in 1896
SO were 1000 bales, against 1900 in
1S9697, $3.50 Of which passed through
Tacoma and Z, ,240 through Seattle. This
shows an increase in the exports to
Japan Of 25,707 bales in the first FIVE
months Of the present season. All Of
this cotton is reported as having been
forwarded from interior Texas points,
and every pound of 1t is for use in
stimulating the manufacture Of cotton
