SALES OF OLD GOLD.

(From the Chicago Inter Ocean)
Hard times can be pretty well esti-
mated by the amount of gold jewelry,
old plate and trinkets. says Director of
the Mint Preston, presented at the gov
ernment mints. During the period of
extreme depression the amount of met
ais purchased by the government
reached high figures, but in the past
year it has dwindled considerably. AT
the approach of the holiday season the
jewelry sent to the mints 10 be sold in
creases in large proportion compared to
the quantity sold in the dull season.
Soon after New Years there is usually
a heavy installment at the assay Off
ces and mints.
Within the past week pair of gold
bracelets which cost $780, were sent to
the mint bureau here to be sold for the
gold in them. Their owner said he
could not keep them, as he required the
money, and asked Director Preston to
dispose of them at whatever value they
might bring. The bracelets, on being
melted down, were shown to contain SIT
worth of pure metal.
From 1873 down to last year the
amount of money paid out by the gov
eminent for old gold, plate and jewelry
has steadily increased. The high-water
mark was reached in 1891, when the gov
ernment paid out for plate and jewelry
$4,OS5,71O The Philadelphia mint melts
nine-tenths of the plate and jewelry
presented to the government. Payment
is generally made in gold wher the Jew
elry is Of that metal.

PROVINCIAL WELCOMED.
Holy Cross Students Give Entertainment
for Father Purdick.

The series of lectures which has been
given at Holy Cross College during the
past term was broken in upon in a
happy manner Tuesday evening, when
the boys gave an entertainment in
honor of the provincial, Rev. Father
Purdick, S. J., who is visiting the col
lege. The entertainment opened with
a piano solo, "The Stars and Stripes
Forever" by John H. Maloney, '99, who
was followed by an address of welcome
by Joseph H. Dana, '99. A series of
handsome stereopticon views was then
shown, and a big surprise was given
all present when the picture of the star
foot ball team of 1897 was thrown upon
the screen, the heroes being greeted
with cheers and applause. A recitation,
The Two Hunts" was given by Will
liam H. Leahy, and during the brief in
termission between the first and second
parts of the program, J Shepard Stur-
tevants march was played by Mr. Ma
loney. The second part of the pro-
gram consisted of an operate farce,
entitled THE Blind Beggars," in
which the parts were taken as follows:
Zacariah Morgan James d. Brennan.
1900; Buffles, Edward NJ Farrell, 1900;
Morebluff, Edward ]. Gaffney, 80. They
took such good care Of their parts that
the audience was kept in a continual
uproar and when the curtain fell on the
last scene, such an enthusiastic encore
was given the operatic stars, that they
had to respond, and this they did by
giving a cake walk with all the friIls
that usually go with such a perform
ance. The third part Of the program
consisted of an exhibition of the graph
aphone, conducted by James F. Don
nelly, '99.

Few Of the cycle racing men Of the

fame has become almost worldwide.
Taylor has just returned from trip to
New York city, where he went to make
plans for the seasons racing. number
of manufacturers have been after the
rider of color with view to getting him
on their respective teams the coming sea-

He came back to Worcester Monday

cream Of the riders, and will include such
men as Taylore, the French champion, and
Tom Linton, the Welshman.
Last year Taylor cast his lot with the

ROUGH ON THE SOUND.
Manager Dunn of Western Union Office
Tells Of Troubles.

Manager w. A, Dunn Of the Western
Union telegraph office returned Tuesday
evening from a short trip to his home
in Baltimore. Manager Dunn has made
other trips to his native hearth since
coming to Worcester, but never did ne
encounter such difficulties in travelling
as upon the present trip.
1t was all on account of the storm, at
whose door so many things have justly
been laid during the past two days. All
went serenely with the genial manager
until he embarked upon the Norwlch
boat at New York, bound for New Lon
don. Then his troubles began in COM
pany with those of the other passengers,
and they were not at an end until he
stepped out into the Union station train
shed Tuesday evening, having been "A
hours en- route from New York.
According to the purser on the Nor
wich boat, and his experience covers a
period of 40 years, it was the worst
night on the sound he ever encountered.
The boat, instead of reaching New Lon
don in 8 hours, was 16 hours making
the trip. Twice the boat lost its bear
ings and drifted about for two hours in
the blizzard before it struck its course
again.
Mr.. Dunn enjoys his occasional visits
to Baltimore, but says he will not start
out again if he knows he must en-
counter another blizzard on the home
ward trip.

POPE AND LORD HATJFAy

Lord Halifax set himself up as a man
Of great critical taste in literature and
art; and when Pope had completed his
translation of the Had, he invited him
to his mansion to read it. Addison,
Congreve and Garth were pres
ent. His lordship, looking solemn and
preternaturally wise, every now and
then interrupted the reading, and al
ways with the same politely-uttered
words.
81 beg your pardon, Mr.. Pope" he
said, very politely and gently, "but
there is something in that passage
which does not quite please me; be
so good as to mark the place, and con-
slider it at your leisure"
Some time after Pope, meeting
Garth, said:
81 wish his lordship were less loose
and general in his remarks: l have
been studying those passages he desir-
ed me to note ever since the reading,
and can't for the life of me guess what
he meant"
Garth laughed heartily; he knew his
lordship better than Pope did.
'All you need do" said he, sis to
leave them exactly as they are, and
three months hence show them to his
lordship as if they had been altered"
Pope did so; Lord Halifax was great
| ly pleased and gratified, and, after
| hearing them re-read, exclaimed:
"Ay now indeed they are perfect;
| nothing could be betterp'

GAsTRONOMIC CHIPS.

Life is the queerest of conundrums.
We spend one-half of it in guessing
what it is, and the other half in regret
ting that we didn't guess it sooner.
An empty stomach at bedtime may
wreck your slumber as surely as an
overloaded one. 1t is a case of Scylla
and Charybdis-steer wisely between
them.
A man may have the wisdom of
Solomon in other matters, and yet be
fool enough to forget that his stomach
is his best friend.
They say that Poverty is the mother
of health; perhaps she is, but she
sometimes squeezes our diet so tightly
that she becomes "the mother of wrin-
kles.'
Let our stock of wisdom be ever so
scanty, there is no better place to
spread what we have of it than over
the table. "Ohr' you say, 81 pay my
cook to spread his own there" Doubt
less you do; but if your cooks wisdom
be Of the average cooks quality, you
pay and look for something which you
do not get. A wise cook is one of the
blessings that heaven is chary in send
ing us. Those we get, and get in
abundance, come from the other place
