The secret service bureau of the
treasury department made 654 ar
rests during the last fiscal year
for the crime of cornterfeiting, of
which less than 100 were for ceun-
terfeits of paper money and ATS
were for making false coin. When
it requires but 48 cents worth of
fine silver to make a silver dollar,
aud an even less proportional
amount for subsidiary coins. It
is a marvel that more counterfeit
ing of our silver coinage is not
done. The probabilities are that
far more is successfully done than
the secret service knows of, the
coins containing the: required
weight of oliver, and Thus furnish
ing no other clue to the crime than
may appear in the execution of the
piece. 1t is tremendous temp
tation that the government sets
before the morally weak in this
virtual offer of a hundred per cent
profit in making q coin with the
same metallic value az that which
comes from the minis. st. Paul.

Mr.. Stephen Bonsal, In his Tho
Zeal Condition Of Cuba Today" de-
sortbes the execution Of two little Gu
ban boys. whose only sin had been that
they always shouted Long Live Free

story. They had been kept impris-
oned but they were very much pleased
when the Lieutenant said they would
die together; 10 would not separate
them. Then the eldest lost his cour-
ags 4 little, whispered imploringly to
tho captain, and We thought he was
going to give way, poor little worm,
and I would not have blamed him. He
should have been at home with his
mother. curled up in her lap. But
then tho captain answered, loud and
sharp. and We knew 10 had not been
wavering. The captain said: What

your arms unbound. I must obey or

tho little chap, who was not q year
older than his brother, blew out his
chest like tho little game cock no was,
and said: I only asked because Carlito
is SO young; because I wanted to put
my arms about him when you fred to
save him all could when the bullets
came; but Carlito is a Cuban; he will
be brave Then the sergeant made
them kneel down. three feet apart, on
tho ground, with their backs to the
firing platoon. It was hardly q Sec

lieutenant cried. 'Apuntarl' (aim). But,
you know, these little fellows had

Mrs. Alice Morse Earle, In her 'sWo-
men Of Colonial and Revolutionary
Times" gives an account of the tribu-
lations Of Puritan housewives at that
period. One extract expressed in the
quaint language Of the period will
touch a sympathetic cord at the present
day. It relates to experience with a
domestic, told in the letter of q newly
married woman to her mother. The
writer acquaints her parent with the
great afhicti0n that presses upon her
through the vicious conduct Of q maid.
When the latter first came to service,
she, as is not unusual, aroused expect
atoms that a treasure had been discov-
cred. In a short time. however, she
was revealed in her true light, and,
according to the young bride, devel-
oped ''such head, and is grower 80
insolent that her carriage toward us.
and especially myself, is insufferable."
1t she be ordered to do a certain thing,
she bids her mistress to do it herself:
she delights in telling how well she
can perform her duty ii she is 20
minded, but will not through perver-
sity. The daughter recoils from re-
peating to her mother ''all the reviline
speeches and filthy language she has
used toward me-" The lady's hus-
band, who is apparently a man Of deep
Christian convictions and bearing,
comes to the rescue and endeavors to
reason with the recalcitrant maid. He
is assailed with q vocabulary unfit
even for record in a private letter. He

It will occupy. the time of
William j. Bryan during the
greater part of the approaching
campaign in efforts to, revise his
utterances of four years ago so
they will fit present conditions
Every audience which he faced in
1896 will recall the prophecies he
made with regard to what he said
the direct results would be if
MI. Mckinley was elected presi-
dent. Among the disasters which
MI. Bryan had scheduled to ar
rive soon after the inauguration
of Mckinley was the rise in the
value of that Constantly growing
scarcer metal, gold, and the cor
responding decrease in the wages
of the ~orkingmen.' OF course
Bryan did not expect that. theirs

the contrary, that the >lrmand for
gold could not be satisfied, that
the yellow metal would be corner
ed by the "Goldbugs," and that
ruin and disaster would be the lot
of the masses. Well, the United
States treasury is to-day bullying
with'e'ld. All previous records
of the nations gold holding have
been surprised, and instead OF
scarce gold, which was the rule
when free silver threatened more
severely than it now does, gold is

''Now that I have Z theatre Of my
own, should like nothing better than
to be an active theatrical manager"
said Chauncey Depew, with q twinkle
In his eye, when asked regarding his
acquisition Of the Depew Theatre. The
theatre in question is the opera house
of Peekskill, and DR.. Depew bought 1t
under foreclosure proceedings. * .
when first put money into It had
no idea Of going in so deeply" he said;
and then he added, ''but IL hadn't
gone In, would never have owned q
theatre all by myself. Now I should
like to give up this desk and give my
entire attention to . theatrical COM
pany." ~. % =.:~sA =. r
Peekskill is DR.. Depew's birthplace.
Two hundred and thirty years ago an
ancestor purchased a farm there, and
ever since it has been the home Of the
Depews. And so when, ten years ago,
committee Of his native tOWnsmen
waited on him and asked him to sub
scribe toward the building of an opera
house that would be credit to the
town, he put down his name for ST.
5CG.
The building was planned to cost
$50, 0G0. and $4,000 was raised by a
mortgage given to the Peekskill Say
ings Bank. It was found later that
100000 would be needed, and DR.. De-
pew was asked to come to the pro-
jectors' assistance. =. .,.
IF I hadn't, should certainly have
lost what had already put in," said
he, land should have left a half-built'
failure to face the streets of my native
town. And SO gave $4,000, and took
a second mortgage. That was FIVE
years ago, and have never received
4 cent of interest, for the venture has
not paid financially. At first it was
called the Peekskill Opera House.. but
after that second mortgage they called
it the Depew Opera House. Altogether,
I have put $4,000 into it.
II think now must turn my atten-
| tion to writing play. have made ad-

says, historical articles, novellettes and
short stories. But,'-and there was a

Il have never tried to write a play,
and shall certainly never have a bet
ter chance Of staging it."
| The house was dedicated on Sep
TENDER Is, 1892, and people stood In
line for an entire day waiting for q
chance to buy tickets. "Jim the Pen.

fered an grafton.

side to it, also, for he says he has no
