A few years ago John Best, the emf
nent organist, a very dignified man,
was present at a great public dinner at
Liverpool, and it was understood that
he would contribute a short organ re-
cital to the harmony of the evening.
"The organ will now play" was the
curt style in which the mayor, who
was in the chair, chose to announce the
performance, and Mr.. Best sat still in
his place, taking no notice whatever of
the observation. The mayor repeated
the words in louder tone of voice,
and still the great musician made no
sign.
\ waiter came and whispered to Mr..
Best: Didn't you hear his worship,
sir? The organ will now play" Mr..
Best merely looked up with a surprised
and injured air. "Confound the or
gan" he said. Let it playw
The message was duly conveyed to
the mayor, and then the mayor rose
again. "Our distinguished fellow
townsman, Mr. Best" he said, will
now very kindly oblige us with selec-
ton Of music OH the organ" Then and
not before Mr.. Best arose and enter
tanned the company.

A SIXTY DOLLAR BILL.
Probably the Only Piece of Money of
Its Kind EXtant

Spokane has the only $50 paper bill
In United States currency known to be
in existence.
1t was issued at the first session of
the Continental congress in 1T7S and
carries with it all the crudity of that
age. 1t is peculiar looking document,
being piece of greenish paper of
much the same material as the present
paper money, except that it is heavier.
In shape it is almost square, with di-
mensions of about by 31a inches.
On one side of the bill is written the
receipt, which is as follows:
This bill entities the bearer to re-
ceive 60 Spanish milled dollars for val
ue received in gold or silver, according
to a resolution passed by congress at
Philadelphia Sept. 26 ITS"
On the back of the bill is drawn a
bow with a set arrow. Along the mar
gin the value of the bill is again print
ed and at one side the words, Printed,
Hall & Sellers, 177S" At the bottom
of the face is the signature of some one
in authority. The letters have so faded
out that it is almost impossible to fol-
low the characters. Some have imag-
ined they could trace the signature of
George Washington upon those lines,
but others could not imagine what au-
thority he had to distribute money at
that date.
This rare bill is the property of Otto
Fiechtl of the Fiechtl quartet of the
Cnur d'Alene. 1t was presented to
him at the Charleston earthquake in
1856 for the saving of an Irishman's
life. The open hearted act of the big
German toward his hereditary enemy
so overcame the man from Erin's isle
that he gave him the only article of
value he possessed.
Mr.. Fiechtl was desirous of ascer-
tanning the true value of the bill and
in 1893 sent it to Washington, where it
was kept for six months while the
treasury department Investigated the
issuance of the bill. 1t was adjudged
legal, as the issue of $50 bills at that
time was known to have been made,
though this is the only one which has
not been returned to the treasury de-
partment. The piece of money has
considerable value outside of the
amount upon its face. The Spokane
man now in possession of the relic has
refused an offer of 81 900 for it and
says no price could induce him to part
with it.-Spokane Chronicle.

Martin B. Schroeder of Philadelphia,
a soldier now serving in China, writing
of the occupation of Tien-tsin, says: If
a soldier wants any work done, he lays
hold of the first Chinaman he encoun-
ters and compels him to do his bidding.
The Russian soldiers are, the worst.
They work the Chinks almost to death
during the day and then kill them at
night. Many of the soldiers are well
supplied with money which they have
taken from the Chinese. An American
here Is held in high respect by the peo-
pie of all other nations. The Japanese
make fine little soldiers, but they are
being butchered without mercy Here
we see Tommy Atkins. He is all right,
but a fouler mouthed lot of soldiers
never heard. The French soldier is n
disappointment. He looks like a dry
goods clerk with an i'll fitting uniform
on. The Germans are all about the
same size and never tire singing The
Russians are the poorest and dirtiest
looking soldiers here, and they have
the least friends because they are so
merciless in their treatment of the Chi
nese."

The late G. w. Stevens gives an ex-
ample of 'Bahoo' English in his book,
I'm India" 1t is an effort to express
admiration for the speech of Pundlt
MADAM Mohan Malavayya at native
congress:
"His speech is as me!lifluous as his
name. He has a sweet voice and is
one of the most enthusiastically well
coined of men on the congress plat
form. Neither tall nor short nor stout,
but thin; not dark, dressed in pure
white, with a white robe which goes
round his shoulders and ends down be-
low the knees, Mr.. MADAM NOLAN
stands like EiffePs tower when he ad-
dresses his fellow congressman.
"He stands slanting forward, admira-
bly, preserving his center of gravity.
His speeches are full of pellucid and
sparkling statements, and his rolling
and interminable sentences travel out
of his mouth in quick succession, pro-
ducing thrilling impression on the au-
dience. There is music in his voice,
there Is magic in his eye, and he is one
of the sweet charmers of the congress
cOmDany."

| about my waste, but when l looked
him square In the eyes he dropped his
| and had no more to say.
l had been with the Dysons five
weeks when the climax came. The old
woman was holding her own, if not
getting better, and the husbands i'm
patience had savage edge to it. Their
bedroom was on the north side of the
l1ouse. All along on that side was a
deep excavation for u factory, and the
| cellar was full of stones and water.
From the bedroom window the dis
tance to the cellar bottom was all of 80
feet. l slept on the west side, with two
rooms and two doors between us, but
so poorly built was the house that If
voices were raised above a whisper
they could be heard, and there were
also many cracks and crevices to peer
| through. AT 10 o'clock one night l lay
wondering If he really meant to take
her life and how he would finally ac-
| complish it when l heard a half sup
pressed scream from his room. / got
softly out of bed and went to the far
ther door, and, looking through crack,
| saw that the window was up and that
he stood before it with his wife in his
arms. She was hanging on to him
with fingers of steel and making a
great struggle. / heard him breathing
heavily and snarling and growing as
he tore her fingers loose but l did not
know what he planned to do till of a
sudden he staggered to the open win
nd Ia,
as she went to her death, and in my
fright | echoed the scream. l re-
member the man rushing across the
room at me, of his dashing open the
door, Of his striking me down, and then
came darkness which lasted for weeks.
He struck me with piece of iron and
fractured my skull. He then carried
my body down stairs and bore it a
quarter of a mile away and flung it
into another excavation. Before TAX
ing me from the house he put on my
hat and cloak, and thus it appeared to
those who found my unconscious body
next morning that | had been coming
home the night before and fallen into
the pit. AS to his wife, he gave the
alarm and brought the police and made
out that it was a case of suicide.
While he was fast asleep, as he claim
ed, she had stolen to the window and
| leaped to her death.
His story went, and 1t was seven
months before there was any contra
diction. | had a fractured skull, brain
fever and pneumonia and for weeks
and weeks lay as one dead. When l
mended, my memory was confused,
and it was seven months before l told
my story and put the police on the
track. Long before that Dyson had
married the widow and sailed for
America, and, though efforts were
made to find him, nothing came of
them. Never did man deserve the
hangman's rope more, and yet, If liv-
ing today, he is free and has no fear
of the law.

Millinery That sparkIes.

Panne and velvet are by all odds the
most fashionable of all materials for
the winter hat, with chenille as a sec
ond, and nothing will take precedence
of the all black hat in elegance. A
handsome model of this class is of
black panne with a spangled brim.
The crown is soft and fiat and is en-
circled with loose folds of the panne,
knotted on the left side, where the
brim is indented slightly. Ostrich
plumes, two above and one under the
brim, and jet buckle complete the
trimming. Ostrich feathers have ad-
vanced in price to such n degree that
they will be seen only on the hand
soonest and costliest hats. On others
they will be replaced largely by manu-
factured feather ornaments.
Flowers are said to be out of the
running, although they are seen, with
foliage and fruit, on the late fall hats
Broad blade feathers with velvet disks
painted to initiate cherries or berries
appliqued upon them are among the
novelties in trimming. Gold braid in
combination with silk and velvet will
be used both in bands around the
crown and in large, loose bows.

away at the waist and bust, revealing
pouched vest of black silk net spotted
with black chenille. Above this vest
the MORE gauze is prettily draped and
caught up high on the left side by a
buckle of sparkling diamonds. The
decolletage is bordered by a large
three rows of fancy glttering cord.
The very short sleeves of gauze fit the
arms snugly, are cut out in the form
of an inverted V on the upper part of
the arm and edged with rather wide
finely plated fiounce of the black net
spotted with chenille, the flounce being
carried to the top of the V.-Philadel-

The other day young German, well

Early in the morning he awoke and for
the nonce was puzzled as to his lati-

something uncharitable respecting EN-
peror William and got into a condition
of blue funk, as he thought he was in
for a year or two of Imprisonment for
the offense of leze majesty Suddenly
he heard the ''mee-ow" of the milkman,
