Conrressman Beach Presents an Interest,"
ing Resolution to National Lawmakers.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.-Representa-
tive Beach, of Ohio, made a statement
to the house committee on foreign
affairs yesterday in explanation Of a
resolution introduced by him Tor Sc
curing a uniform standard of value in
commerce by the use of international
coins. The measure Is particularly
designed TO bring about closer trade
relations between the United States
and other countries OF this hemi-
sphere and the east. IL requests the
president TO begin negotiations with
China, Japan, the republics and col
onies of the American hemi-
sphere, Canada and the Hawaiian
islands for the purpose Of Sc
curing a uniform standard OF value.
All Of the countries mentioned in
the resolution are silver using coun-
tries and MIR. Beach said that one re-
suit of his project, n IL succeeded,
would be to increase the demand for
American silver. The greatest him
drancc TO trade with neighboring ma
tions was the system of exchange
through London. These international
coins would take the place Of London
exchange. They would not be adapted
TO general circulation in the countries
which might adopt them. nor need they
be made legal tender in those coun-
tries. Silver would be the material
best adapted for the coins and its pres
cnt and prospective value should be
taken into consideration in adopting
such q coinage.

The English artist, r. Talbot Kelly.
thus describes one of the diversions OF
the desert: by far the most exciting
Of their equestrian sports. however, IS
their jereed, or short javelin, play"
] put play in quotation marlss to ex-
press the sarcasm Of Il, for never saw
anything more nearly approaching
war In my life. Two friendly tribes
meet in a suitable bit Of desert, several
hundred mounted men representing
each tribe, and are drawn up facing
each other. Twirling his iereed, the
champion of one side rides into the
open, and In a loud voice and with
much eloquence recounts his deeds of
valor, and with many sarcasms chal-
icngcs one Of the other side to fight.
On the appearance of an opposing
champion in the arena, the first turns
20 flee, chased by the second, and en-
deavors 20 reach his own side before
being caught by his pursuer. Should
he succeed In escaping, both turn
again, and the positions of fugitive and
pursuer are reversed. but Il always
ends in force sght for supremacy in
the middle, In which one or the other
Is generally unscated often with the
accompaniment of few broken ribs
or fractured arm or leg. Champions
being eventually placed hors de COM
bat, the remaining bodies charge at
each other and engage, and in the ex-
citement of the moment, when several
hundred men and their horses are i'm
volvcd in the scrimmage. the death of
several men and horses frequently re-
suits before the sport" concludes with
light refreshments and possible
funeral or two.
As I remarked before, this is the
nearest approach TO war possible, and
Is almost as exciting for the onlooker
rs for those engaged. No bad blood is
engendered, however, whatever the
casualties may be, this being an hon
orable exhibition of skill, where no
malice is borne, and any fatclity-

Chicago Business Men Are Organizing
Against an Alleged Monopoly.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1p.-Chicagu business
men are aroused as perhaps they have
never been before over an organized
warfare on the big department stores.
The agitation has been quietly going
on for some time, but I~w n series Of
mass meetings are being held aud 1900
business men, representing all branches
of trade, have been formed intn an or
ganization TO urge before the legisla-
ture the passage of bill taxing each
separate department OF a store 500. At
various meetings held the principal
thing indorsed was the cumulative
plan of taxation. According 10 this
license IL would cost SiOO 10 run hat
store. $500 10 add a shoe stock. SiO0 to
put in groceries, and so on. For ten
departments the license at this rate
would be s5l. 200 per annum; for Is de-
partments, sl,63s, 400; and for 20 de-
partments. 52,4iG.00O II was urged
by some OF the lawyers that such law
would be unconstitutional and that il
would be far safer TO stick TO the bill
now pending at Springfield, which
simply imposes u special license for
each line Of goods carried.

A schoolmate OF the President Tells of III.
Early Life.

n schoolmate OF the President Tells OF His
Early Life.
Mr.. George II. Yenowine contributes
n paper on "The Birthplace Of Lincoln"
in which he quotes the following from
an old man named Austin Gollaher,
who went 20 school with the Emanci.
pator: Lincoln was an unusually
bright boy, and he made good progress
in his books, better than almost any
one else in school; and he studied very
hard, although he was young. He
would get spice-wood bushes and hack
them up on log, and put few Of
them in the fire at a time 10 make n
light for him 20 read his books by. IL
did not make a very good light, but it
was all he had at night Young Lin
coin was never good-loolxing. He was
angular and awkward. His mother
was a rather slim woman Of medium
height Tom Lincoln, his father, was
tall. Abe was very much like him, for
Tom Lincoln had a fuller face, and
was OF heavier build.n
In answer TO a question as 10 Lin
coins brothers or sisters, the old man
frightened up and said. "Oh. yes, he
had sister. Her name was Sally, and
she was about my age. That was one
reason why thought so much of Abe.
But when the Lincolns moved to In
diana, l did not say goodbye to either
of them.
81 next heard OF Lincoln several
years afterward. II was said that he
would make rails during the summer
and thus earn money TO go TO school
Then heard no more of Lincoln until
he was nominated for president.
told the boys that no matter what
happened l was going 20 vote for Abe
