NAMING THIS COUNTRY

Agitation for Columbia. Alleghenia, AppaIachia, Yesperia, Freeland, Ere donia and Cabotia
 So great was the movement for the name Columbia that 1791 the new gov ernment set apart a small domain on the Potomac for national capital, and in giving a special name to this particular district as the accepted resi- dence of the national government not accidentally but designedly, and signifi- cantly called it the District of Culum- bia; that is, the capital of the nation, which was, 1t was hoped, to be called by that name. And these efforts for the adoption of the name Columbia have been reflected in the fact that the map of our country, if you look over it and just count, is now fairly dotted and perforated with that word. One day I looked to see how many I could find and not only the great river which emp ties into the Pacific, called by Captain Gray of that ship Columbia, but found the name applied to at least eight counties, eighteen townships, four cities and seventeen villages in our country.
 And yet the most significant fact about this early movement for that name is. with all the early struggles for the word Columbia during the first twenty or thirty years of our independ- ence, and notwithstanding all the wise and just things that were said in favor of 1t, the word Columbia does not seem to become our national name ex- cept in old fashioned wooden poetry and in patriotic oratory equally wood- en. The outside world, which In mat ters of this kind refuses to be dictated to, does not spontaneously take this name Columbia upon it's tongue in speaking of us, and while we have been hesitating over the business the name Columbia has been quietly and effectually appropriated by another na- tion, the gallant little republic in South America, the United States of Colum- bia so that the name is no longer available for our use on any terms ex- cept possibly the method of just swal- loing down that little South American republic, name and all.
 After these efforts on behalf of the

evening star, the star of the west, and would at once indicate the western world and be equal to an adjective. In that case. If the people had rushed to adopt his suggestion, we would have addlc cssed ourselves here to-day as "fel- low ' IesDerians."
 Furthermore, another writer propos- ed rather noble suggestion-that we should cali ourselves the Republic of Washington, and be Washingtonians all over the world.
 Several others have been quite within tie present century on occasions quite Independent of thosa I have mentioned Francis Lieber CD proposed to give to this country the name of Freeland, and we should be Freelanders. That did no. succeed any better than the sug- gestion in the early part of this century by Senator Mitchell of New York, who proposed that the whole country should he called by the really beautiful name oe redonia A little town in New York started the name there in hopes that it would spread over the whole country but the name Fredonia still has he original local limits.
 The next one was Mir. Nicholas, the author of the life of Sebastian Cabot, who thought the country should not be named in honor of either Americus or Columbus, but of Cabot, who discovered 1t. The name should be Cabotia. and VIC Cabotians But it would naturally be said that upon that very argument we ought to go further back for our name than Cabot and procure an appel lation which should add honor to the No1 semen, who sesm to have discovered ouy country many centuries before Cabot Why not call our country Vine land, even Vineland the Good? Propos- ale tc this end have been made.-From Professor Moses Colt Tyler's Chautau- qua address.

COUNTERFEIT COINS.
How the Public May Distinguish Then

"It is not always easy to detect coun- Director of the Mint Roberts, especial 1 ly where they are of good weight and extra fine finish, and the peculiar slip pery surface by which many counter feits may be detected Is absent
 "The public, in their haste in their exchange of money, should find time to scrutinize with care each coin as 1t Is 1 handled. There is always much coun- terfeit coin in circulation; no more now, perhaps, than in previous years. The secret service agents have been espe- cially active recently, and their efforts have been productive of the most grati- flying success in detecting counterfeit CTS and securing convictions.
 "Our presses at the hints are ex- tremely heavy, weighing 13,OOO pounds, Naturally piece of gold or silver struck from their dies is/as nearly per- feet as it Is possible to make coin Yet counterfeiters, with their light presses and dies, manage to do some very clever work, The product of moulds a favorite method with the smaller fry of counterfeiters, Is inferior to that of the dies. The absence of the clear-cut appearance of the genu- ine coin, the defective weight, the in- perfect lettering and milling, and the
 ndistinct reeding on the outer edge of the coin are the distinguishing charac- teristics which will guide the public in detecting coins thus made. Italians are the greatest offenders against the law with mould made commercials. The most expert turner's out of metal coun- terfeits have been regular makers of dies who wanted to get rich quickly
 ''The standard of gold made by our hints is 900 fine, or 21.19 carats. The English standard is 916 fine. A new SEQ counterfeit Is probably compost ton of gold, copper and silver, the gold being of low grade. I have, however, known of commercials which were 800 fine, and they range down to 400. The facsimiles are often quite perfect, with a clear ring, sharp, well-appearing lettering and milling, being well calcu- lated to deceive those who are not used to the handling of coins.
 Platinum is metal which gives the required weight, and is extensively used in gold counterfeiting. Clear-cut coins are made from this metal and heavily gold-plated. They are compar- atively easily passed, especially when

State Military Rendezvous, Camp Van Keuren, Mantle, Conn, Aug. 22.-The finest feature of the camp so tar was the brigade formation at 5:15 D. m. It afforded the first opportunity to get a good idea of the condition of the guards as a whole, and the result was most gratifying to the officers. The brigade made fine appearance and looked fit for any kind of service in theirN khaki uniforms, which they wore for the first time on brigade formation. The brigade passed in review of Adjutant General Van Keuren, an honor extended to him by Brigadier General Frost. General Van Keuren was accompanied by the governors staff and the governor view ed the parade informally from another point. Colonel Burpee, formerly com mander of the Second regiment, arrived in camp just in time to witness the pa rade.
 The sensation over the liquor raid yesterday morning has practically sub sided with the announcement this morn ing from the office of the brigadier gen eral that there would be no court mar tial of the men in whose tents the five

bottles of beer were found. It is be- lieved that no more raids or confisca- tions will take place, but the close sur veiIlance of all express packages or other articles of a suspicious nature will be maintained.
 The work of the First regiment who did outpost duty to-day was the occa- sion of much praise. One battalion es- pecially was commended and Captain Valentine, who was on the firing line, acquitted himself most creditably Lieutenant Arnold, U. s. A, recruiting officer for Connecticut witnessed the movements and paid the regiment high praise.
 The first victim of heat prostration was brought into the hospital to-day, Private Thomas B. Lynch of Co. D, Second regiment, having succumbed to the weather. His condition was for a time quite serious but tonight he was reported as very comfortable.
 Early tonight it was ascertained that twenty men had been shut out from camp as they had run the guards and went to New London presumably to get liquor. When their disappearance was learned the provost officer stationed guards at the points which would be possible for the men to get back into camp, and they will either have to sur render or be absent from roll call. Late tonight six of the men surrendered and were lccked up in the guard house, Captain Freeman of Brigadier General Frost's staff is in charge of the pro- vost guard and he has been a most ef- ficient officer
 A feature of the camp has been the excellent policing. The following is the standing of the brigades:
