Great Demand for One and
Two Dollar Bills.

The United States Treasury has been
appealed to for small bills. 1t has
none to spare. Nor has it any silver
dollars, uncovered by certificates,
which it can depart with. Gold is be-
ing offered in vain in exchange for
those once desplsed coins which it was
almost impossible to get the peopel to
handle. Evidently there is phenom-
email lack of small-change bills, due to
the increasing magnitude of payrolls
and of retail purchases. According to
the United States Treasurer, there
were outstanding on July 81 last &c.
o7S,25" Jne-dollar bills, 17,1S6,SS5 two
dollar bIhs and 57,620,344 five-dollar
bills. There were also in circulation
63, ,15S,273 silver dollars. The one-dol-
lar bills and silver dollars aggregate
119,yv6,529. This is an average of one
and one-half per capita. Small bills
and coins circulate with such rapidity
and thus do so much work that SEEM
ingly the facilities for making one-dol-
lar payments ought to be ample. But,
in the first place. the Treasurer's fig
ures are excessive. They may no al
lowance for bills which have been de-
stroyed. In the next place, the saw
ings of the very poor are. primarily in
small bills. They cannot afford to save
more than dollar or two at time.
Thousands of the smaller bills are out
of circulation because they are hoard
ed up Furthermore, men who usually
drew checks for small sums do not
do so now because of the two-cent
stamp That has added to the demand
for small bills. But without going
into the reason for the scarcity, it is
evident hat the counry, with its in
creasing population and expanding re-
tail traffic, needs more small bills, and
those are ,Ae ones the Treasury should
supply by substituting them for notes
of higher denominations whenever
such notes are paid into the Treasury.
If small bills in excess of the demand
are issued they will gradually find
their way back to Neutrality-suspicious.

BARLOW FAIR.
A Bad Day, But That Fact Did Not
Prevent Good Attendance.

The Barlow Fair, that annual occas-
sion for which the past twenty-eight
year sthe weather clerk has dispensed
weather of an agreeable nature, was
held Friday; and it was held against a
big handicap on the part of the wealth
| er.
1t looked Friday morning as though
the elements were intending for that
day to pay particular favor to the
steamboat fraternity by dispensing
rain, and plenty of it, but that did not
prevent a fairly good number of Ma
rietta people from taking the train
for the west, with Barlow as the OBJ
jective point.
Arriving at the village it was discov-
ere dthat the leadcn sky did not scare
others-And many of them-from at
tending the Fair, for despite the bad
roads, there was lots of traffic and
those who ventured out were not
treated badly after all.
Between $500 and 5000 persons were
on the grounds, extending the custom
ary greetings and enjoying the hospi-
talities, one with another.
These people enjoyed good fair,
too. There were over four hundred en-
tries. The exhibits in general were
not so many as in some years past
particularly in the display of hogs and
sheep, but in many of the departments
especially that of norses-the exhib-
its were fine There was lot of good
horseflesh shown, and some splendid
| specimens of cattle. The display of
grains and apples, too, were very good.
The art department was unusually
strong there being many specimens of
crayon, pastel and photography. There
was considerable machinery shown al
so.
The occasion was enlivened to no
small degree by the presence of the
Bartlett Band, an organization of
young men who make very creditable
music.
We did not notice the presence of so
many brides as we have in the past,
but what was lacking here was amply
made up by the suave candidate who
was on hand to make himself ageeable
The receipts for the day were about
$500, which wa considered to be a
very good showing considering the
bad day.
One bad day in twenty-eight years is
a pretty low per cent of bad weather,
anL the management looks upon the
result as not so bad as it might have
been.

SHOT
BY a Drunken Man, at the County
Fair.

The following correct account of the
shooting affair at the Guernsey county
fair Thursday is taken from the
Guernsey Times of Friday, Sept. 29
Harry Luzadder, of Lore City, a
graduate from the reform farm at
Lancaster, came to the grand stand in
toxicated and tried to get in without
paying, when James Patterson ordered
him arrested. Marshal Samuel Stew
ems, of Sutton, who had been working
until lately at Plain City, took him off
quietly and told him to go away.
Whereupon he pulled a pistol and fir
ed at Stevens the ball glancing off
Stevens thumb and striking Walter
Bell, of Liberty township, in the an
kle, where Il remains after probing by
Dr. Aplin and other physicians. The
second shot passed through Stevens
thigh, and while it leaves a painful
wound it is not thought by the physl-
clans to be dangerous.
Luzadder defied arrest until young
William Clark knocked him down and
dlsarmed him 1t was with great diff

ragged crowd and landed in the Wash

the Mayor bound him over to the
grand jury in $1,000 in each of two
cases, and he was brought to the jail
in Cambridge by Marshal wilkins,
where the grand jury will sit on his
case next week.
The people in the grandstand were
panicked by the plain view of what
was about to take place and the won
der is that some club or stout fist did
not reach him instantly. Mr.. and Mrs.

The Leader is more than indebted to
Messrs. Thomas Sugden and Robert
Shiers for what we considered to be a
fine shark caught in the waters about
Cheneaux Islands, but we were inform
ed by an expert in fishology that it is
a speckled trout At any rate we ex-

The tag on the fish says it was

the word really is. We feel, though,
that these gentlemen have too much

as a scout, being uniformed as a sol

time before her identity was discov-
cred, her ability as a rider was recog-

the deception. permitted her to retain
her assignment as a scout.

HIDING MONEY.
queer Places That Women Choose as
Being safe.

The stocking bank, the favorite hid
ing place of a past generation, has now
become almost obsolete, except with a
very few old-fashioned people in quiet,
out-of-the-way villages, says the New
York Journal,y yet there are many meth
DDS OF storing away money and valua-
bles equally as quaint, which are still
adopted by ladies. An elderly spin
ster who resides in one Of the many
ancient houses to be found in Boston,
had a set Of stationary drawers topped
by cupboards specially built into a
huge closet In ona Of the rooms. The
lower drawer, instead Of resting direct
ly On the floor, ran on grooves about
two inches above It. This lower drawer
she would pull out and place large
sums Of money and all her jewel cases
in the space left below, and then re-
place the drawer, which she kept filled
with linen. The old lady would al
ways declare that If the house was
broken into and the drawers ~ransacked
no one would think of pulling them
right out, and that her hiding place
was far safer than any bank. Equal
ly shrewd was a woman in Cleveland,
who, whenever she had occasion to
leave her home at all, would put her
money and jewelry in the coal scuttle,
covering them up carefully with e v
era layers of coal. This might have
proved a somewhat risky experiment
in the winter months, when the fire
had to be fed, but their owner felt that
no burglar would ever dream Of look
ing in a coal scuttle for valuables. An
other lady once conided to the writer
that II she had occasion to leave her
house she invariably placed her jew
elry in her old shoes, which were
placed alongside the new les Quite
a lot of valuables can be forced down
into the toes without giving the slight
est evidence of the value therein. OF
other hiding places, perhaps the most
popular, especially for paper money, is
the big family Bible. 1t is quite a Gus
tomary thing in out-of-the-way coun-
try houses to thus secure any valuable
papers in the possession of the family.

the other day took her first railroad
ride from a Central New York town to
this city, so that she might draw heI
savings from the bank here and place
them in the country institution al

through the panics of '7S and '9S, but
she thought it safer now, while the
war with Spain was on, to take it Out
and place it nearer her. She would
not trust anyone but herself to com
on and draw the few hundreds.

SPENDS HIS LIFE IN PRISON.
Unusual Method OF Securing Material
for a Book.

unusual MeLnou OF securing mhbeEAA
for a Book.
Count Rocco Dianovitch has made
the getting into prison the chief bust
ness of his life for thirty-four of the
forty-seven years he has lived, for the
purpose of gathering information for
a book he is anxious to write on the
subject. At 10 he left his home and
went into Prussia, where he was ar
rested for ~trespassing and sent to
prison for three months, working at
chair making. From that time to this
he has never been free from the desire
to continue his prison explorations.
From Is till he was 20 he was in and
out of more than twenty prisons in
Belgium, Prussia, Poland and Russia.
His first experience of Jail life in Eng
land was in Liverpool, which was one
of the worst he was ever in, filled with
drunken sailors from all over the
world. He stayed there six days, when
he paid his fine and got out, the first
time he failed to serve his sentence.
Then he went to Ireland, France,
Spain. Italy, Greece and Turkey, then
to Egypt, where the jails are the worst
in the world except Australia; mex to
India and Japan, and then to America,
where he remained for more than a
year, spending most of his time in jails
and penitentiaries.

Just then at the height of his fame,
and when spending months painting
pictures and selling them for about
two hundred dollars a square inch.
The rich man conceived the brilliant
idea that what his theater most needed
was a drop curtain painted by the ia
nous Meissolier. So he went to the
artists studio and proposed the matter
to him. How large is the curtain to
be-" asked the great painter. 1T will
be thirty feet high and th~irty-ive feet
