rope With Them.

rope With Them.
Up to times within the memory of
living men almost no one of means
travelled through Europe without a
courier. Before railroads were built
and before good guidebool1s were print
ed he was almost indispensable. His
tribe survives, but i'll greatly dimin-
ished numbers. TO the self reliant tray
eler he is of no use whatever. Indeed
he is frequentlya positive incumbrance,
and worse. To my mind one of the
great pleasures of travel is in learning
to travel by myself. There are satisfac-
ton, pleasure and education in plan
ming routes, deciphering time tables,
making bargains, learning by observa-
ton the lay of the land.
The time may have been when a
courier could save traveller more than
his cost. Most certainly that is not the
case now. On the contrary, as he gets "a
percentage on every purchase his party
makes, which, of course, comes out of
the purchaser i'll increased price, and
as it is often for his interest to advise
the more costly route, the more costly
hotel or the more costly excursion, he
eats up much more than his wages,
while saving positively nothing. Bean
declares that i'll two weeks trip in
southern Spain, which he made side by
side with a couple having courier, he
Invariably reached the hotel first, got
better rooms and saw all the sights to as
good advantage, yet the courier was, of
his kind, an expert. The fact is that
travel has become so general, tourist
companies, railroads and landlords have
so well studied its needs, books are so
plentiful, that you couldn't very well
get off the track or have mishap if
you tried.-Herbert Luce i'll "Going
Abroad"

Newport,s Fad a Fortune Teller.

Newport has new fad. One Bert
Reese Of Indiana avenue, Chicago, a
really clever fortune teller, has appeared
ON the scene and has been eagerly seized
as the newest card for receptions, din
ners, etc, where he asks a big sum for
his services. He is a German by birth,
is of rather fascinating personality and
seems to have the gift of prophecy to a
really wonderful extent. Mr. Perry Bel
mont secured him for his reception Sat
urday and paid him 5000 for what he
did. He has told some of the smart wo-
men such astonishing things that they
supposed were locked up sacredly in
their bosoms; that they are in a fine
twitter of excitement, and both men
and women are engaging this young
German for days and days ahead

HE OPPOSES SILVER.
DIRECTOR OF THE MlNTS CHARGED
WITH INCORRECT ESTIMATES.

Overvaluing the output of Silver and I'm
dervaluing That of Gold-Contrary to
MIR. Preston's Statement, There Is Great
Demand For Silver.
The director of the minis has estab-
lished a reputation for undertaking
the gold output of American mines and
overvaluing the output Of silver from
the same source. In dealing with the
latter metal he always quotes coinage
value, forgetting that the governments
G1.29 per ounce no longer interests the
miner or smelter, because it is not the
measure of the silver product. The
latter is fixed by coterie of London
brokers, who last year supplied Great
Britain with $500, 400 ounces of stand
ard silver, the coinage value of which
was 81, 045, 1876. 1t cost the British gov
eminent e479, 686, so that handsome
seigniorage was realized in supplying
the wants of the people at home and in
the colonies. We refer to this British
coinage of silver to correct an error in
Mr.. Preston's interview of a recent
date, i'll which he declared that there
was emo demand for silver anywhere,
not even for subsidiary coinage
The annual report of the deputy mas
ter of the British government corrects
this impression. 1t shows the purchases
of bar silver we have noted herein and
also the coinage Of 20, 970, $50 pieces ON
British account, 2,150,O00 pieces for
use in Canada, IS, 750, 900 for Hong
kong. 815, 900 for Newfoundland and
1895, $40 pieces for the Straits Settle
ments. There is large difference be-
tween this total of 40, Gal, 433 pieces of
subsidiary coin and "no demand at all, 3"
and it represents in a measure the
amount Of accuracy which the director
of the mints-in his efforts to please the
gold element-brings to the service of
his estimates.
With the above in view we can safely
return to the gold output Of 1897, as
guessed at by Director Preston. In
round numbers he allows for an in
crease of $1,000, 900 in the United
States over his own totals for 1896,
which were annrOxi1oately ne follows.

The Brunswick times. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 188?-1900, 1897-08-22

Other states and terrltories bring the
total forward to 500, O88, 900. In this
table for 1896 Colorado is short at least
$1,000, 000 while California bewails
an arbitrary reduction of nearly So, OOO,-
600, the mint statistician at San Fran
cisco, with 20 years of experience, be-
ing one Of the oomplainants.
But if, as the director states, our
probable gold increase for 1897 is only
$1,000 900, how does the chief officer
of the mint propose to apportion it? Ac-
cording to the reports thus far received
and half the year is now over-the
claims of the respective states will
stand as follows i'll the item of total
The Brunswick times. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 188?-1900, 1897-08-22

This sum is the estimate of but ten
states and territories, whereas the direct
or's gold list for 1896 contains 25, rang
ing from 81 900 in Vermont to &475,-
900 in New Mexico and $405, 700 in
Washington. We have limited our esti-
mate to the $1,000, 600 class, and yet
it exceeds the calculation of the direct
or of the mint--$60, 900, 000-by the
respectable sum of $11, 500, 600. Den

makes the run to Southern California
in less than three days. This train is
composed of Pullman palace vestibuled

Another Improvement in the Santa

and reach California the following
Tuesday. The cost of tickets is lower
