TWO NEW COINAGE BILLS.
sherman Law bullion to he Made
Into Subsidiary Coinage.

WASHINGTON. Feb 24-The house
committee on coinage weights and meas
ures agreed today to recommend the pass
age Of two administration bills. one dimin-
ishing the legal allowance for wastage in
the coinage processes IN the minis, the
other relating 10 subsidiary coins.
The latter bill provides for the coinage OF
so much OF the Sherman law bullion as
may be necessary TO meet the demand for
subsidiary coin. and for the retirement Of
such an amount Of Sherman notes as now
represents the bullion which might be SO
used. The vote on the wastage bin was
unanimous but on the subsidiary coinage
j. was on strict party lines.

THE "REMINISCENCES OF ENOCH
PAINE.
Old Bookbinder I'm Springfield
Recalls some OF the Famous
Men Who Have Marked History
Hotel Where Lafayette DRHced.

Enoch Paine, OF Springfield. probably
knows more Illinois history at first hand
than does any other living person. Hs
has been personally acquainted with ev-
cry governor since Illinois became state
in 1870; and with him in one way or an
other have been associated nearly all OF
those whom Illinois has added to the line
OF the worlds great men. Mr.. Paine Is ii
bookbinder. and ten years ago he repaired
some books which he had bound for the
state fOrty-siN years before.
His beginning Is so tinged with romance
10 be of interest. lie was born IN kss-
kaskia. the quaint old town that was
thriving settlement more than Il century
before Chicago was dreamed of. Here il
was that LaSalle and Tonty and the
other heroes Of the early west came and
went, and here the child who afterward
became Enoch Paine's mother danced as
a flower girl at the great banquet given
to Lafayette IN the old tavern. Since that
day old kaskaskia has been almost entire
~ carried away by the river but the
memories OF the first capital of Illinois
are stiil fresh III the mind of Mr.. Paine,
who relates many anecdotes of the old
days.

fond OF relating shows with equal clear

Mr. Paine IS very old. but he goes every

stands erect and speaks In a clear voice.
Anecdotes and bits Of history fall from
his liDs relating 20 nearly every import

ating. off-hand manner Of the Black Hsvk

Pierre Menard's salt Bags.

Ono OF these relates 70 Pierre Menard,
the bluff old fighter. who was the first
lieutenant governor OF the state. II seems
that at one time in Kaskaskia salt became
very scarce. Menard was wealthy. and
was known TO have among his other pos
sessions great quantity of salt Scores
of citizens came to him and offered to buy
1t at any price. AT length. growing i'm
patient. Menard called number OF his
fellow townsmen together.
You that need salt and have no money
pass TO my right" he said. and you that
have money to my left" Then. address
Ing the more wealthy group. he added:
you have money. You go 10 81. Louis
ana buy salt. give TO those who can get
1t no other way"
When ne was Is years old Mr.. Paine's
family moved TO Springfield. where he has
lived ever since. At the time of his arriV
al the young Abe Lincoln was beginning
10 come TO the front az a shrewd, honest
lawyer Enochs older brother promptly
struck up an acquaintance with Lincoln.
This acquaintance strengthened INTO
rrendship-in fact. tho two were room
mates for five years.
In those days the future president was
an awkward young man. noted mainly for
the indomitablc force OF character which
later served him well. At one time he
was scheduled 10 speak in the Old state
house on one OF his favorite political top
les. II happened that his arguments were
not popular at that time. and only
handful OF listeners appeared at the an
pointed hour Lincoln took in the situa-
ton SAYS Mr.. Paine. and. securing
drum. went out on the street and beat his
drum until . curious crowd assembled.
whereupon he delivered his speech in the
open air.
