Not since the stones were first set in
the ground have they been repaired.
though Mason and Dixon's line has
grown famous as an historic, if almost
intangible, barrier at one time between
slave and free territory. Many of the
original stones have been almost destroy
ed by the clements. Others have been
taken up and are used as fence posts or
stepping blocks. Now the Legislature
of Pennsylvania has appropriated $4,000
and that of Maryland the same amount
for the preparation and placing of new
stones, which shall mark Mason and
Dixon's line for the next 100 years.

Englishmen Have Narrow Escape from
American SwindIers.
Sir Frederick G.. Vigoe and Il. d. q.
Drayton, British capitalists, sailed for
England the other day after having had
narrow escape from being separated
from their money by pair Of shrewd
swirdlers. The EnglishRen came &c
America several weeks ago to purchase
a gold mine advertised for sale by Il. q.
Miller and William Schroeder. Negotia-
tons we're almost completed when the
prospective investors became suspicious
and frightened the alleged mine owners
into disappearance. Wine suppers and
entertainments costing about $4,000 were
wasted OH the willy Britons. They went
to Chicago with Miller and Schroeder and
were taken to the Metropole. After see
ing the city thoroughly they asked for q
look at the samples from the mine. Six
gold bars were then taken from box in
the Merchants, Loan sand Trust Com
pany's vaults, and borings were made,
showing that they were rs per cent pure
gold. Schroeder and Drayton then start
ed for Golden City, Colo, while Miller
and Sir Frederick remained behind.
Forged kilograms signed with the latter's
name and urging the closing of the deal
met Drayton by the score at Denver and
aroused his suspicious. The transaction
was declared off. Miller and Schroeder
disappeared. An assay of the gold bars
was made, and it was discovered that
they were composed of worthless alloy.

TO give an idea of the normal growth

number Of the white element in the two

AWAIT EFFECT OF MONEY Law.
Little Change in Business on Account

of New Financial Act.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: The new monetary act,
which was signed and took effect on
Wednesday, has not affected business
perceptibly as yet. Designed as bar
rier against future harm, it was by some
expected to have immediate influence
through provisions regarding bank circu-
lation. While S2,100,000 win be added
TO New York circulation, the increase
thus far indicated will be mainly interior,
affecting the chief monetary centers only
by lessening reliance upon them when
more currency is wanted. Sales of wool
have been only 1928 800 pounds in two
weeks. Prices of leading goods have not
