SCIPIO STANLEY'S CASE.
Walked Washington Streets With
Smallpox Eruptions On His Face.

Dr. William c. Woodward, the District
health officer, this afternoon received from
the health officer of Alexandria informa-
ton concerning Scipio Stanley, the col
ored man who was discovered on ferry
| boat at that place yesterday suffering from
smallpox, which leads him to believe that
the man has been resident of this city
since about the 18th of last month, and
that he had been wandering about the
streets of the city after the eruptions re-
sulting- from the disease had appeared on
his body.
According to the story of the Alexandria
health officer, Stanley worked as fireman
with James Curtin, the white engineer on
the Southern railroad who was removed
to the District smallpox hospital last Mon
day from his home in Southwest Washing
ton, suffering from the disease.
Stanley states that he worked with Cur
tin up to the Sth of last month, and remain
ed in Alexandria until the 18th of the
month, when he came to this city, remain
ing here until yesterday, when he took
the ferry boat for Alexandria. Feeling
badly, and supposing he was suffering from
the grip, he went to a drug store for rene
dies but he continued to feel i'll, and about
the 18th of last month the eruptions ap-
peared on his body. Until he left for Alex
andria yesterday, Stanley says, he went
about the streets of this city, particularly
in the northwest section, and probably
travelled on the street cars.
Stanley says he resided here at two diff
Ierent places, both in the northwest section.
and DR.. Woodward is today busily engaged
in Investigating his statements that he
may take the necessary steps to prevent a
spread of the disease from the case Every
effort will be made by DIR. Woodward to
verify Stanley's statements and to ascer-
tain with whom he has come in contact
here. Stanlcys case in the opinion of DR..
Woodward, emphasizes the importance of
ax-arty hssr3 ~
doctor remarked in conversation with a
Star reporter this afternoon, no one can tell
when contact will be had with an infected
person.
Up t. late hour this afternoon no addi-
tional cases of smallpox had been reported
to the health officer.

Extension of RandoIph Street.

ExDistrict Commissioner George Trues-
dell, Mr.. J. F. Bancroft and other property
owners and residents of lexington had a
conference with the Commissioners today
for the purpose OF asking that they open
and extend Randolph street for one square
from Lincoln avenue to I'd street, under the
provisions of the acts relating to the OPEN
ing and extension Of minor streets and al
leys. They filed a petition setting forth the
public necessity for the improvement, but
were informed by the Commissioners that
sufficient funds are not available for the
purpose. The Commissioners suggested,
however, that they might reduce the cost,
estimated by the engineer department at
about $4,000, by securing the dedication OF
a part of the required land.

MExIco's MONEY.
what II Was Many Years Ago and
How IL In Manufactured
at Present.

Before Mexico was invaded by the
Spaniards coins were unknown in this
country, the natives using in the place
of money the smallest cacoa beans. re-
ceiying those of larger size and better
quality for the manufacture of liquor,
to which they are much addicted.
About Il years after the conquest
that is to say, about The year 1888, Cas-
lillian coin commenced to make its ap-
pearance in Mexico. Asit arrived, how
ever, only in very small quantities, IL
proved itself insufficient for the needs
of trade, even though the latter was
still of very Insignificant proportions.
1t was then that the ruling yiceroy, un-
der authority of a royal decree, ordered
the manufacture in the City of Mexico
of small pieces of silver Of a certain
weight. These pieces were not stamped
with any coinage whatsoever, ana
their value was determined entirely by
their weight and size. From this was
derived the name peso" which has
outlived the first attempt at making
money in Mexico up TO the present.
These pieces of silver remained in cir
culation q number of years, and pieces
of gold and of copper were also added
in time. Soon, however. IL was found
that this sort of circulating medium
made fraud and abuse extremely easy
and the Spanish government, taking
cognizance of this fact, established by
royal decree three mints, granting
them perpetual existence for Amer
! lea. These mints were located IN san
Luis, Santa Fe and the City of Mexico.
The same decree also provided thai

coinage was of considerable amount
and the facilities of the establishment

made upon it for coins, for which rea
