dictment, of 'conversing Familiarity with the
devil in the form of a cat" The Judge how
ever, procured a reprieve for poor old Jane
and sheswas ultimately released, to end her
days in peace.
Last, the witchcraft act was repealed for the
United Kingdom in the same year. 1t was
quite time. For, only nine years earlier, in
1927, woman was brought before Capt. David
Ross, deputy sheriff of Sutherland, charged
with causing her daughter to be shod by
the DEVIL and SO making her lame both in
the hands and feet. The fact having been
proved to the captains satisfaction. the old
woman was put into a tar barrel and burned
at Dornock. The weather being cold at the
time, we are told that she sat composedly
warming herself by the fire prepared to con-
sumo her, while the other instruments Of
death were getting ready
The last attempt to execute a witch in Eng
land ended disastrously for the perpetrators.
In 1751, at Tring, two old people named
Osbcsfse, man and wife. beAg suspected Of
witchcraft, were seized by crowd, stripped,
crosS-bound, and thrown into pond. Both
died of this brutal treatment But the W .tch-
craft act had been repealed, and verdict OF
willful murder having been returned against
one Colley, the chief instigator of the as
sault he was in due course tried and hanged.

E. V. Smalley, who returned yester-
day from Washington, d. c., said to
G. e reporter:
L spent the entire winter at the cap
ital because l was interested, as an
observer, in the various movements in
congress for legislation on the curren-
cy question. 1 never believed that
either of these movements would come
to airy result, and 50 1t turned out. The
members OF. the banking and currency
committee were in a state of acute dis
agreement with each other upon the
hrSt principles of a currency BILL and
the more they argued the questions in
VOWED the further they got apart.
Nearly every member had his own bill
and each was more anxious to get
some personal reputation out of the
question than to help accomplish any
legislative result. Finally the coinage
committee took in hand the questions
With which the other committee had
been wrestling for two years. and ac-
tually produced a bill. In the midst of
all this confusion, Hugh H. Hanna,
chairman of the Indianapolis conven-
uon committee, pervaded the Hobbies
ana committe rooms, reinforced by
number of his supporters, and clam
oring for an extra session OF congress
TO consider the bill of the monetary
commission. Corsidera tions of party
eXpediency finally induced the Repub-
hcan members of the house to put all
the numerous currency bills aside A
caucus was held and a new committee
was raised to incubate on the currency
question during the recess of congress
and to report a bin at the next session.
This was, no doubt, wise policy, for
the dlSagreementS of the banking and
currency committee would have been
rGDf00npGH in fha hoI
Tempt been made to pass bill at the
session just ended, and the Democrats
would have profited from the turmoil.
The proposition to have an extra ses-
sion called to consider the currency
question was simply fantastic when
viewed in the light of ordinary politi-
cal common sense. Nobody of any in
fuence whatever in Republican circles
gave the slightest encourage cement to
this scheme of Mr.. Hanna.
1.-The real reason why no currency
legislation Is feasible at this time is
that public opinion has not crystaliized
in favor of any one of the MANY
schemes presented, and that these
schemes all include the retirement of
5. the greenbacks and the extension Of
bank circulation. The Republican poll
scheme of this kind, appre-
hending that the Democrats might
make a successful issue out of the
question whether the government
should furnish the paper money or the
banks. a majority of the voters might
prefer government money to bank
money in spite of all the educational
work done by the Indianapolis conven-
ton and the monetary commission.
Every body in congress was playing
politics last winter with an eye on the
presidential campaign of 1900"

OLD COINS
For Which the Dealers Will Paw
Fair Premiums.

For Which the Dealers Will Pay
Fair Premiums,
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat:
A business-like looking young man
laid a dollar bill on the counter of a
corner cigar stand the other day and
received change for nickel cigar.
Among the coins was quarter with an
old-fashiOned sprawlng Goddess of
Liberty on the face. The young man
scrutinized the piece very closely for
moment and then pulled out a card COW
eredswith minute figures "Ah! hav'
he said eXultantly, that pays for sew
eral cigars There's 40 cents premium
on that quarter" The dealer looked
a little crestfallen, and his customer
volunteered a few details. That's a
list of rare coins arranged by date he
said, referring to the card. II always
carry 1T in my vest pocket, and month
in and month out 1t comes pretty near
paying my smoking bill. Sometimes it
does a good deal better. It enables me
TO tell at glance the premium on any
particular piece of money 1 would be
at all likely to encounter in general cir
culation. and you'd be surprised to
know how much of that stuff is drift
Ing around-particularly during the last
year. 1t seems as if the people who
had hoardtngs of small silver were OBJ
1ged to spend them, and, at any rate.
I've found more since last spring than
did for several preceding years. Do
they bring very much as rule did
you ask? No, the premiums are most
ly TO- Is and 20 cents, but by keeping
ones eyes open they mount up. There
are several issues of nickeIs in general
circulation that are worth 10 cents
apiece. and never let one go by me.
When 1 accumulate enough to make it
worth while to pay express send the
lot to a dealer up in Chicago and he
sends me back a postal order for the
amount. The biggest find ever made
was half dollar worth So, and the next
biggest was silver three-cent piece
worth s1.75. There are some coins, of
course, that are worth very large
prices. but I was never lucky enough
to run across any. It's very seldom
that one gets into general circulation.
It's great blunder, by the by, to sup
pose that a coin is valuable merely be-
cause It's old. The majority Of the
pieces on which the dealers pay pre-
miums are comparatively recent and
generally turn UP In first rate condi-
ton. They are simply rare. Here in
New Orleans one gets a chance now
and then to pick UP piece from some
OF the Central American states that
brings decent figure. The Hondura-
MAN coins of the '7O's are the most val
uable.''

rel with Doc and there was a shoot

in the sand hills of the Platte river.
When living in the hills he picked up a
bunch of horses and started out with
them. He was captured and thrown
into Jail in Sidney. The second night
there he got the jailer drunk and walk
ed away.
He next appeared at road ranch
up the Elkhorn, having been without
food for five days. Soon after that he
was hurrying down the Elkhorn valley
with bunch of horses belonging to
the Indians. DOC" and his party were
pursued by a company of United States
soldiers, about fifty settlers and a band
of Indians The white men gave up the
chase in a few days, but the Indians
kept on the trail. One night the thieves

have gold teeth, and they would not kill

through the town, daring any man to
shoot at him. The government finally
made determined effort to capture
Doc and sent out four secret service
men. They met Doc" at a Fourth of
July celebration at Atchison, Neb. He
took their pistols away from them and
made them run foot races and join in
the other festivities of the day. Once
Judge Moody, of Deadwood, demanded
Middleton's surrender. He made the
judge throw up his hands, and then
took all the valuables he had.
Middleton was finally captured by
Deputies Lewellen and Hazen, who
were sent out by Gov Thayer, of Neb.
Doc was taken to Omaha, where he
received a sentence Of five years in
the penitentiary. He was shown leni-
ency because he always protected the
white settlers and only stole the stock
belonging to the Indians. At the ex-
piration of his term doc" returned to
Atchison, Neb., and became law

Priest - Pope Peters Authority.
1t Is Insisted, Was Divine.

In a sermon at st. Luke's church
yesterday morning, Father McNulty
replied at some length to lecture de-
lyered last Tuesday by Bishop Sey-
mour, Of the Episcopal church, at
Christ church. Father McNulty said
that Bishop Seymour was heralded as
an authority on questions of church
history and that his position and state
ments seemed to be sustained by the
local clergy of his church. Having de-
sCribed the genius of the Roman en-
pire and the relations obtaining be-
tween the decaying state and the
nascent faith, Bishop Seymour Is re-
ported as saying:
Tine papal power was welcomed, as the
vance of the rude barbarians Of the North
as the savior of mankind. The traditions Of
the ancient and universal empire of Rome
passed as a bequeSt from the last emperor
to the pope. He represented two ideas, and
they were in conception august and grand
when considered apart, but when united in
one personality they rose to the highest limit
Of sublimity.
1.-The needed correction was supplied, 1t
was hoped when the spiritual monarchy was
introduced as the supreme government under
Christ, vested in the bishop of Rome. He
bore two swords which were placed in his
hands by God. He ruled in both the church
and state and kings and princes were as

Sir Matthew Hale, it is true, had hanged
two poor women at Cambridge in 1864, but
few years later Lord Chief Justice Holt set
himself strcn-l. against such charges, and in
every use tried before him directed the jury
to bring in a verdict of acquittal. In a cele-
brated trial at Guiford, 1901, not only was
the supposed witch found not guilty, but her
false accuser, one John Hathaway, was con-
