A currency embarrassment has resulted

try consists of copper cash" and these
are really the standard for the great bulk
of daily transactions among the people.
Wages are so small and prices so low that
there is seldom need of the silver dollar

in copper became known in the East, how

from circulation. greatly to the embar
rassment of the small merchants. In some
of the large commercial centres an effort
was made to supply the deficiency, but it
did not go very far after the authorities
found out that copper needed to coin or
stamp the equivalent of a silver tael in
"eash" cost from l Ia to 12 taels. Chi
nese provincial authorities are not likely
to do business at loss for the benefit OF
the public and so the embarrassment con-
tinues. A reduction in the weight or size
of the cash would not be tolerated by so
conservative a people as the Chinese The
issue of subsidiary silver coin is talked of;
but it would take long time to bring this
about and even then it is doubtful whether
the people would take the new coins The

THE RIVERSIDE MEET.
CoIored Riders Do Some Good Work
AT the Park Track.

The Riverside Cycle Club held meet
yesterday at the Park cycle track on the
Conduit road, without the presence of the
Riverside Club of Norfolk, Va The yell
low fever quarantine kept the Virginia rid
ers at home. The affair assumed, there
fore, a purely local color in the absence
of the visiting team. Some excellent riding
was done by the colored wheelmen. A fair
ly good crowd was present and considera-
bic enthusiasm was manifested.
The principal event was the race for the
-half-mile District championship, which
was won after an exciting match by Ed
ward Hail; time, 1:19. The one mile nov
ice for a gold medal was won by George
Tueke in 2:13. The half-nile District
championship went TO Ed Hail. who crossed
the tape first. The one-mile handicap was
won by ]. Wallace Coleman, Ed Hall sec

London neEgars.
(From the London Globe.)

Londen probably suffers less from the
plague of beggars than any other of the
great capitals of the world 1t is certainly
less troubled with them than 1t was
few generations ago. According 10 the re-
port of the Mendicity Society which held
its annual meeting yesterday, our profess
sional mendicants number about 10000, a
large multitude in itself, but not so very
formidable considering that they are dis
tributed among population of 10000, 000
That begging is a less tempting career
than II formerly was is due largely TO the
operations of the excellent society whose
figures we have quoted, and to the change
that has in consequence come over public
opinion. Up TO a quite recent period II
was held TO be breach Of charity to refuse
aims 10 a street mendicant, and well
brought-up children were encouraged TO
give their balf-penee TO such claimants in
preference to spending them upon sweets
or toys. Possibly that was good for the
children, but ii was bad for society, which
has now learned that mendicancy is gener-
ally only form Of crime, TO aid In the
repression OF which is the duty of all good
citizens Too many people still put their
hands in their pockets in answer to whin-
ing appeal but most of them would con-
fess that they are moved less by benevo-
Ience than by the desire TO be rid OF ten>
porary annoyance. In the large majority
of cases the persons assisted in this man
ner are totally unworthy If we may ac-
cept the Mendicity Society's statistics,
only about one beggar in twenty is in ur-
gent need of help; 20 per cent. are gross
impostors and another so per cent. are
altogether undeservIng of help. though
they are possibly poor enough. In view of
facts like these the giving of indiserimi-
nate relief is less of virtue than a crime.

A CURIOUS SAVINGS BANK.
Nearly Every Thrifty Filipino Has
His Secret Strong Box.
(From Leslie's Weekl,

IrfOH Leslle weekly
Nearly every provincial Filipino of
thrifty propensities puts hrs savings, not
in a Manila bank but in strong box. The
box is usually a fancy iron chest of small
dimensions, but is secured By locks and
bolts enough to defy a Chinese locksmith.
The outer keyhole is the first secret of the
box, and is usually hidden under some
moving iron band that embellisheS the
chest After raising the first lid there are
one or two more that must be opened.
and the locks or bars of these are equally
hidden-though in most cases simple to
the ingenuity of the Yankee soldiers The
whole contrivance is a relic of Spanish
feudalism, and as a place of safety is an
easily solved toy to the ingenious Ameri-
can. The Filipinos, however found il nee
essary, while under Spanish friars. to Sc
crete their savings from the watchful eyes
of the official and priest. II was the Gus
tom to bury the box under tree near their
houses. When our soldiery swept over the
country and villages around Manila hun
dreds of these native boxes were un-
earthed In most cases the native had an
ticipated the soldier and fled with his
earnings, but it was often the case that
time was too short, under our rapid ad-
vance, to unearth and unlock the strong
boxes, so that when our troops had driven
out the insurgents, many of the boxes were
found. In some cases the chest was found
above the ground. but on account of the
intricate system of locks, time was not
sufficient for the Filipinos to withdraw the
money. Sums ranging from 500 to 81 500
