SCARCITY OF SEALS.
Makes It Probable That Garments Of
This Fur Will Soon Be a curio.

MS FuT WIN OOOn DC SuriO.
The Treasury Department has re-
ceived a report from the special agent
who has been experimenting the
catching of fur seals In the Arctic dur
ing the past season. His report shows
that this valuable animal is getting
scarcer every year, and that unless ex.
IRENE measures are soon adopted to
prevent their determination, 1t will be
but a matter of time before sealskln
saeques will be regarded as eurios
The Treasury Department restricted
the catch OF seals in the American
district to 25,0G9 but the best the seal
ers could do was to catch 16, 900 ami
mails. This merely indicates the scare.

the supervision OF the United States

slain in our territory. the killing being
limited to males over 2 years of age.
The danger of complete humiliation
of the herd is in the operations of the

quent occurrence. During the season
OF 1898 the Treasury Department re-
stricted the catch IN American terri
tory to 10000, and during the year just
ended limit of $4,000 was named.
Next year it is probable that this will
be scaled down to $1,000, with pros.
poets for the catch being hardly 10000
The only thing that can save the herd
from complete extinction. says the de-
partment officials, is an early agree
ment between Great Britain and the
United States to prohibit the catching
of all seals except males more than
years old-Brooklyn Eagle

Took sehaefer For a "Mark."


Wizard Schaefer says that he and
Napoleon Ives once walked into a
Boston billiard hall \ German alder
man was playing straight rail billiards
and, being fairly good amateur, beat
several dead ones who essayed to play.
The successful player, seeing Ives and
Schaefer quietly looking on, remarked
TO his friends in German: "See me some
money make already. | will these
strangers play yet and with them bet,
and them bess as you have done"
Schaefer understood all that was said,
but gave no evidence of comprehen-
sion. The alderman invited Jake to
play 200 points straight rail. The al
derman bet $50, and his friends raised
another SO, which the "gao1 thing"
covered. Jake drew the b.. I'd, get
ting on the rail, clicked ofs points
and collected his money i.9,n the
amazed stakeholder.
The alderman had not had shot,
and yet 500 had been lost on him. Jake
drew the fellow to one side and said
I'm Sehaefer That young man with
me is pupil whom you can beat cas-
lily. Take him on and win your money
back and more and let me in. He is
stuck on himself and will bet" The
alderman went TO Ives and asked il he
would like game. Sure, for IL you
don't play better than you did with my
friend It's easy money" The alder
man put M so this time, and his
friends scraped up like amount. Ives
drew the bank and repeated Schaefer's
performance In running 200, while the
politician. who had done no more than
chalk his cue and string for the lead
In playing for $780, said
"All haf to say, Mr.. Schaefer, is dot

GOLD COINS "SWEATED."
English Swindlers Are Taking az
Much AS Fourteen Grains from
Some SovereIHns.

Since the beginning of the year it has
been noted at the Bank of England that
an unusually large number of light
gold pieces ere in circulation. Finally,
the mint authorities instituted an in
yestgation, resulting in the discovery
that such coins are being systematic
oally "sweated" by immersion in acids.
Those engaged in the operations are
not common swindlers. They have cap
ltal and brains and are not actuated by
an oyerreaching greed. The Bank of
England records show that the average
amount of gold 'sweated" has been six
grains from each sovereign, which
would mean profit of about one shil-
ling per coin. Apparently, the mem
bers OF the gang vary their methods ac-
'ording to the character of the persons
to whom the 'sweated" coins are to be
rendered. Some sovereigns are bare
ly grain short in weight, while others
are as much as If grains. The coins
appear fresh minted, and it is impos-
sible to detect the fraud except bv
weighing; but few persons except bank
ers keep scales delicate enough to
weigh single coin, and a majority
keep no scales
Up TO the present the post office has
been the chief sufferer, and the matter
has become so serious that the post
master general has issued a special
warning to officers in his department.
lie warns the staff that all gold coins
received at post offices should be sent
to the Bank of England for examina-
ton, and that those found short should
be cut in two and the deficiency made
up by the officers who received them.
But the postmaster general has failed
to assume the resultant responsibility
of providing the officers with coin
weighing scales and the officers want to
know how they are to detect the coins
which, apart from a few grains de-
hclency in weight, are genuine. a live
~ agitation is now afoot. and if redress
cannot be obtained earlier, the ag-
grieved officers will have the. matter
brought before parliament in Feb
ruary.
The headquarters of the Sweating"
gang are believed TO be in some provin-
cial town, but all efforts of the mint
and Bank of England detectives to To-
cate the gang have so far failed.-N. y.
