THE VALLEJO WHARF.

Editor of The Cau-Dear Sir: I notice
in Sundays Call an item stating that
Judge Buckles had decided in favor of
the city of Vallejo in the suit brought
against it by the Vallejo Ferry Company
to enjoin the city from letting contract
to construct wharf. Your correspond
ent is mistaken. The Judge decided in
favor of the Ferry Company. In his opin-
ion, which l have before me, he holds the
wharf as proposed will interfere with the
ferry, and enjoins the city from construct
ing it as planned. or any wharf project
ing south of a certain line, which line is
1876 feet north of the proposed wharf. In
short, he holds that the city cannot build
a wharf to interfere with the ferry. The
general right of the city to construct a
wharf at the foot of Virginia street was
not involved in the case or decided by
the Judge. 1t is involved in another case
now pending in that court, but that case
has not yet been decided. Very respect
fully, F. w HALL
Attorney for Vallejo Ferry Company

EVEN EXPERTS ARE DECEIVED

Money.

months and they tacitly confess theuX

can dollar, but the term sienf.
fies that a good Mexican dollar
has been transformed into an American
dollar by some process unknown except
to the cOunterfeiterS, and has been done
so perfectly as to deceive even the most
expert.
The banks are becoming alarmed at the
great quantities of the bogus coins which
pass through their channels. They have
awakened to the realization of the fact
that the country is simply flooded with
the dangerous counterfeit and are of the
opinion that some decided steps should
be taken by the United Steates author
ties to discover the guilty parties.
The bogus, coin has the true ring an
closes few slight imperfections hardly
visible to the naked eye. They bear the
years 1888, 1894, 1898 and 1899 in figures not
as broad as the. genuine. The wreath
around the eagle is somewhat broken and
the nose on the head of LibertYsis not as
sharply defined Again, the coin is not
perfectly centered-that is, the eagle and
the head on the reverse side are out Of
plumb. But all these imperfections can
not be noted without the use of a micro
scope. The color might be said to be
slightly off" but not more so than many
of the genuine coins.
Cashier Thomas Burns states that the
coins have been coming into the Sub
Treasury for nearly a year past Every
day the counterfeits are received and
turned over to Secret Service Agent
Browne. The latter refused to talk about
the subject and manifested entire igno-
rance when asked about ii.
1t is a fact. however, that enormous
quantities of the coins are in circulation
and that the United States Government
does not recognize the fact of their being
made of the pure metal. That they are
not minted legitimately is sufficient cause
for their confiscation and destruction.

Dornheim soon revived, but he would not eat.
While Meyer and the Schadchen went to the Syna-

ing ecstatically: 'She loves me still She loves me

When the Sabbath was at anend next evening the
Bochur packed up his few belongings, bade the Schle-

Brodywards. Three days later a young man presen-

"For what?" asked the man, looking from one to
the other. The presenceo of the Schadchen suggested
nothing.
"You-are a happy bridegroom, 2 cried his mother
in delight.
"Ah! May l inquire who my bride may be?"
Rheinthal assumed an air of Importance commen
surate with the grandeur of his mission. He took a
chair, into which he fell majestically, and rubbed his
hands for a while in silence. At length he said ina
tragic whisper:
1T is Yetta, the daughter Of Gradinsky, the brew
er of Brody. He is the richest man in Galicia."
The widows eyes danced at the prospect, but
Meyer. asked with the shrewd air of a business man:
"How much does she bring her husband ~
Fifty thousand guldeni in ready money, and a fine
outfit besides"
"Ah! and ! suppose she is very hideous. Ugliness
and a big dowry usually go hand in hand"
"On the contrary" replied the Schadchen, "she is
a beauty and highly accomplished
Meyer shrugged his shoulders obviously. He was
not an imaginative man and could not comprehend
how a girl with such advantages and such wealth
should have entrusted her matrimonial prospects to
such, a man as sRheinthal.
Had these worthy people been less absorbed in
their conversation they would have noticed how the
Bochur's pale face had turned still paler at the men
ton of Yetta Gradinsky's name; how he held to the
table for support, and how he forcibly composed
himself and eagerly listened to the Schadchen's words,
each of which seemedto have wonderful significance
for him.

COLONIAL BENEF1cENcE.

The anti-expansionists are especially
solicttous, il we are to take them at
their word, for the poor natives" whom
we seek to dominate" in our new pos
sessions. 1t is claimed that they will
be infinitely better off if left to them
selves. because all efforts to better a
people held in colonies have been futile
Let us see about that, though the
question Of colonization is not now d.
rectly involved. The Dutch have bettered
conditions In Java Where there was
savagery and bestiality there is now
prosperity. content and civilization. The
English in Borneo have revolutionized
barbaric conditions and redeemed the
island from the savage. In India, Cey-
lon, the Straits Settlement and the
British West Indies there has been no
retrogression. but, on the contrary, pro-
gress and an outfit from semi-barbaric
conditions. gross superstition and par
tial savagery.
In those possessions savings were I'M
known: now they exceed the savings in
some countries far more advanced in
the social scale and numerically strong
er IN population. There are five uni
versities In India alone, colleges in
great number, normal schools in every
province. medical schools of the bes.
of excellence. In the Ave universities
over 1000 students were matriculated
in 1897 alone. The colleges in the same
year had no less than 1878 students,
while in the elementary schools there
were enrolled no less than 3,7YO.OUO
scholars.
Where there was formerly not one,
there are now 526 newspapers of gen.
eral circulation in the native tongues
and in English. India expended for
public education in the last fiscal year
the enormous sum of 35.244,900 rupees,
as against 671. 600 rupees in 1865. India
was without a mile of railway; she now
has over 21,000 miles. She had few
public roads: she now possesses 14,UOU
miles Of high-class roadways. She had
no lines of telegraph; she now has 14S,-
1876, with no less than 1,573 telegraph
offices. In 1888 the depositors in the
savings banks numbered only 100000;
In 1896 the number had grown to 742.,
215. The deposits were of savings of
the people, and had swelled from 49,
059,300 rupees in 1893 to los, S67, 800
rupees at the close of 1896.
Nowhere. perhaps. has colonial ex-
pertinent been more satisfactory than in
Ceylon, because nowhere else has there
been such rapid and high-class progress
made advantageous to the native pop
ulation. Unquestionably civilization
carries to such peoples something Of
