s'Our whole monetary system is the

Silver Certificates Dangerous.
''Such bank notes should be redeem

able in gold only.
''Silver certificates, which form
nearly one-fifth Of the circulating me-
dunn of the United States, are danger

money has found an abnormal use.
They are the most perplexing feature
in the much involved problem of our

''There is no reason why the govern

stone ice breakers at Marcus Hook,
protected from the heavy ice gorges in
mid river. The big vessel is seriously
damaged. How the accident occurred
can only be established by a 20 court of
inquiry, and this Captain Cook of the

makes the accident even more deplor-
able is the fact that this was the first
time the ship has been handled Ey the

Struck With Great Force
When the vessel struck the rocks the
jar shook her from stem to stern. For
a moment all was confusion, but for a
moment only. The engines responded
beautifully and she was quickly backed
off. A hasty examination, followed
by q closer one, showed, as the quick
settling of her prov had indicated,
that damage had resulted. While the
inner compartments were but slightly
if at all injured, the bulk of the harm
had been done to the outer compart-
ments directly under the engine and
fire rooms. The city iceboat and the
tugs then lowed her to, Marcus Hook
where she was made fast to the ice
breaker

Hay and London sunshine,

The story comes over repeatedly that Col.
John Hay is not at all purfed up and
naughty about his Pike County Ballads
Notwithstanding the fact that his British
friends seen, determined TO hang his great
ness on them, rather than on any other
achievement, whether lie viii or no. And
50 he is compelled TO bask in tha sunshine
OF a fame built upon Little Breeches'' and
Jim Bludso" and ''0ld Jedge Phinn,''
whereas il would please him much better
to be remembered for other and more
serious things.
We cannot always have just what we
want here below, and when the London
Spectator remarks, The world knows
Col. JOHN Hay best By his Pike County
Ballads. - that verdict VIII have to stand

should the ambassador be ashamed OF his
literary work? When he wrote the poem
which first made him celebrated, he is
said to have sat up all night on the eve
OF it's publication for fear it would not be
q success. But Little Breeches' was a
success and a great one. Others equally
airy and graceful followed in quick sue
cession. What could be finer, for in
stance, than those stirring lines in his
yicksburg b; tile poem:

dark, handsome man OF about twenty
four years, tall and straight, and with
physical development that a trained atm

He is young man around whom the fates
have woven a web of romance which
renders him an ideal hero in the world Of
letters. Young Apache is a grandson of
the great Chief Cochise. During the Indian
outbreaks twenty odd years ago, when the
troops of the Federal Army were busy year
in and year out. the child, now full
grown young man, was taken ca ptive with
many others.
He was sent TO the garrison at Fortress
Monroe, and being an unusually bright
and intelligent child, received schooling
while there Being quick to learn, an apt
pupil and possessing a remarkably reten
tive memory, he made rapid strides in a0-
vancement.
When Gen. Coppinger, o. 5. A., was en-
gagged in operations against the uprisingt
of the Bannock Indians, the young Apache
was placed in command of the generals

for his meritorious and brave services.

Modern Improvements are all very nice,
but when it comes to inyenting an inde-
structibIe egg the mind is forced to dwell
on the subject with some misgiving. The
fried egg as served in certain boarding
houses is nearly indestruotible now and 50
is the fried hen. With eggs and chickens
that are made indestructible by this new
invention, we may be treated to second
hand dishes, and the idea is not pleas
ing one. a contemporary goes even fur
ther than this, reflecting on the probable
permanence Of the railway restaurant pie
when made with indestrGctible eggs. Our
contemporary is poorly Informed. Pie
crust is not made with eggs at least not
| the nie-crust that is made to sell. On good
authority, it may be stated that pie-crust
made to sell is composed or flour, salt, cot
tolene and water. These are all stirred
up together, and the dough made stiff
very stiff, so that 1t win stand alone. 1t

fears need be entertained for the restau-
rant pie by reason OF the advent Of the in

great thing BUTT shouldn' try to abolish
everything. We shall be just as happy If
we do not use food that win last till the
