Coins and Paper Currency.

There are ten different kinds of
money in circulation in the United
States, namely: Gold coin, standard
silver dollars, subsidiary silver,
gold certificates, silver certificates,
Treasury notes issued under the
act of July II, 1890, United States
notes (also called greenbacks and
legal tenders), national bank notes,
and nickel and bronze coins. These
forms of money are all available as
circulation. While they do not all
possess the full legal tender quality,
each kind has such attributes as to
give it currency. The status OF
each kind is as follows:
Gold coin is legal tender at it's
nominal or face value for all debts,
public and privatn, when not below
the standard weight and limit OF
tolerance prescribed 10y law, and
when below such standard and
limit of tolerance it is legal fender
in proportion to its weight.
Standard silver dollars are legal
tender at their nominal or face
value in payment of all debts, pub
lie and private, without regard to
the amount, except where otherwise
expressly stipulated in the contract.
Subsidiary silver is legal tender
for amounts not exceeding $40 III
any one payment.
Treasury notes of the act of July
IA, 1890, are legal tender for all
debts, public and private, except
where otherwise expressly stipulat-
ed in the contract.
United States notes are legal
tender for all debts, public and
private, except duties on imports
and interest on the public debr.
Gold certificates, silver ccrtif-
Gates and national bank notes are
not legal tender, but both classes OF
certificates are receivable for all
public dues, while national bank
notes are receivable for all public
dues, except duties on imports, and
may be paid out by the Govern
ment for all salaries and other
debts and demands owing by the
United States to individuals, cor
porations and associations within
the United States, except interest
on the pablo debt, and in redemp-
ton Of the national currency. All
national banks are revuired by law
to receive the notes of other nation
al banks at par.
The minor coins of nickel and
copper are legal tender to the ex-
tent of 25 cents.-Extract from

The War in Greece.

Popular feeling in Athens seems
to be in favor of a republic. A mob
on Tuesday looted Government
stores and made a demonstration in
front of the palace.
A despatch received in London
says that King George may be de-
posed or assassinated at any mo-
ment, and that the mob in Athens
is likely to take possession of the
city.
1t is reported that arrangements
are being mode to enable the Greek
royal family to leave the country
hastily in case of necessity.
The leaders of the opposition
have impressed the King with the
fact that it was his first duty to
organize the Greek forces. To
this the King assented. The lead
ers also insisted that a new Minis
try must be a product of a vote
taken in the Legislative Assembly.
1t is reported that the Greek
Cabinet has resigned.
The Greek soldiers are furious
at the members of the Ethnike
Hetairia, blaming them for all their
misfortunes.

Mrs. Samuel Stamm of Loganton, Pa.
bore her thirty-four years of suffering with
courage and fortitude. Her trouble was
rheumatism in the knee. In consequence
her limb had become SO stiff that she
could hardly walk. Mr. Stamm is we'll
TODD merchant, and had spared no pains
or expense to relieve her, but with little
success, until one night when it grew so
painful that she could hardly endure it,
he persuaded her to try Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. The effect was magical,
The first application relieved the pain,
and its continued use has removed all
stiffness and given her the free use of her
limb once more. If you have friends who
are troubled with rheumatism insist on
their giving this remedy trial You
can do them no greater favor, as it is sure
to give promp relief, and if they are a
little patient it will effect cure For

Against the Race Tracks.

New Castle Presbytery last week passed
the following strong resolutions con-
demning the racing which is carried on
i'll Cecil county with Elkton as the focus
of operations
| Resolved: That the Presbytery of New Castle
deeply deplores the presence within its bounds of
race track gamblers, who driven from other
States, have under the protection and sanction Of
Maryland laws fastened upon Cecil county, bring
ing with them the vice, lawessness, demoraliza-
ton, disgrace and corrupt influences and agencies
that made Gloucester and Guttenburg synony
nous for infamy
1t unhesitatingly condemns this worst species of
legalized gambling as immoral in its nature, de-
grading in its associations, and ruinous i'll its
effects upon individual characters and public
welfare.
1t hereby pledges and extends its sympathy
and active support to the citizens of Cecil in their
struggle to overthrow and demolish this throne of
niquity.
1t hereby earnestly urges the ministers, elders
and members OF its churches in the territory
afflicted with this netarous business to their
utmost efforts as Christian citizens to free the
church from all participation in the sin, to
enllghten, arouse and direct public opinion and
to secure the nomination and election to the
Legislature session of 1898, of men whose record,
character and attitude to race track gambling and
its attendant evils shall be guarantee of their
faithful and uncompromising endeavor to secure
legislation absolutely prohibiting race track
gambling in any form in Cecil county.
This Presbytery likewise urges upon its minis
tiers and elders and members in the other Mary
land counties to cooperate with Cecil in this
battle for decency and good morals by the forth
putting OF every lawful and iudicious endeavor
to secure the election in their respective counties
of legislative delegations for the session of 1898
pledged to promote the enactment OF such a law
for the entire State of Maryland.
The stated clerk is hereby authorized and iu-
structed to have these resolutions published in
the various newspapers within bounds; to
have them printed and forwarded in sufficient
numbers to the ministers and sessions, to be by |
them presented to their respective congregations
and to send copies to the Baltimore Presbytery
and to its ministers and sessions inviting their |
cooperation in the securing of law prohibitive
of track gambling in the State of Maryland or
at least in Cecil county.

Nav Ladies' Home Journal.

The May Ladies' Home Journal
uniquely reflects the sentiment and
spirit of spring. "In An Old
Fashioned Garden" fairly emits
the seasons fragrant flavor, as do
other contributions in prose and
verse. Hon. John Russell Young
recalls the notable incidents-fetes,
receptions and pageants, etc.-of
General Grants memorable tour of
the world, and ex-President Har-
rison gives highly interesting
glimpses of the Presidents home
and home life in an article on "The
Domestic Side of the White House"
the concluding one of his admir-
able series. A reminiscent article
by Mrs. Raymond Maude, "My
Mother as | Recall Her," gives
some delightful glimpses of the
personal side of Jenny Lind, espe
cially of her home life.
Herbert ID. Wards serial, "The
Burglar Who Moved Paridise,"
reaches its conclusion, maintaining
its quaint humor to the end. Also
in the lighter vein are remarkably
well drawn character sketch, "Old
Gabe Carter's Company" and the
second of "The Colonel and Me"
papers. Dwight L. Moody, in his
Bible Glass lesson, writes on "Faith"
with characteristic direetness. Be
sides Mrs. s. I. Rorer's most help
full articles on cooking and her solu-
ton ofpuzzling household problems,
are valuable papers on "Traveling

A Probable Decrease In the Tax Basis
-rl0rtgages- of
Double Taxation.

The board of control and review of
Cecil county have declared all books
closed, with the exception of the seventh
district. The assessors are through with
the seventh district and their work will be
returned in few days to the county
commissioners. The work is being
rapidly pushed in order that the annual
levy can be made in June.
The districts, with the exception of the
third or Elkton district, showed a heavy
falling off and it is probable that the
basis will be reduced nearly, II not fully,
three million dollars. The clerk has
made a list of the mortgages on record,
and they number nearly five thousand, of
which number fully one-half are dead,
The mortgages range from $50 to $40. 600,
and per cent. appears to be the prevail
ing rate of interest. Much complaint is
being made by residents of this county
who hold mortgages in other States,
claiming that they pay taxes on them in
States in which the property is located
and should not be compelled to pay in
this county.
The board will hear appeals from the
assessment in the Seventh district Mon
day, May 18th.
