PIE eie with our paper currency lies in the
1act that 1t is convenient For many
reasons most people would rebel at the idea
OF being deprived of such an easy way to
carry money. In England every bill that
comes back into the possession OF the Bank
OF england Is Immediately destroyed and
another is issued in its place. AS the bank
notes are of larger denominations than
ours. they are better taken care of, and
solieo note Is an exception. 1t would really
seem as II some such manner Of destroying
ola notes ought to be adopted here, and 1t
would seem feasible to compel all banks
to disinfect the paper money they have re-
ceived before paying 1t out again.

teacher Of German in the Chicago public
schools, who is spending the summer with
friends In this city. This seems to be a
chronic complaint with all Washingtonians.
think this is the most beautiful city in
this country. or any other, for that mat
ter. 1t combines all kinds OF beauty. Last
Sunday I spent the afternoon in the sub
urbs above Georsetown. and the view from
the heights reminded me Of Switzerland
IN many ways. From the spot on which
my friends house, is located I could see of

opportunity. It-seems that the sun has
many ways Of beautifying the earth. At
Mont Blanc the haze above the noun

Nerve Prevented Glycerine Explosion
From the Philadelphia Record.

Nerve Prevented Glycertne Explosion
From the Philadelphia Record.
By one of the most cool-headed and nervy
acts in the history of tho Pennsylvania
oil fields William Bowers of Rouseyille yes
terday saved the lives of a number Of men
and his own as we'll. He is employed by
the Harper Torpedo Company and was sent
to shoot well for William Cormack on
the McClintock farm, O. few miles north of
here.
He filled a shell with thirty-eight quarts
OF nitro-glycerine and had the long tin tube
Strengthened in the hole ready to lower 1t to
the bottom Of the well. when the ball at the
top of the shell pulled off and the torpedo
dropped. Close beside Bowers was q can
containing several quarts Of glycerine, and
about dozen men were in the derrick as
spectators. Instantly no realized that when
the shell exploded the shock would explode
the glycerine in the can. He seized the can,
and with it in his arms dartcd rapidly from
the derrick. When the shell struck the
fluid, at depth OF about four hundred
feet, it exploded, and a stream Of oil. gas
and stones rushed Out Of the casing with a
terrific roar, tearing the top of the derrick
ard shattering the derrick floor.
But for the GOODNESS and prompt action
of young Bowers the can containing the
glycerine would surely have been exploded,
resulting in terrible loss Of life. Bowers
was several wards away from the derrick
when the explosion came, however, and the
conclusion did not affect the glycerine in
his arms.

TlOst unusual ribbon sale.

and several neckties for other sizes and
colors
That lady," said the aisle manager to
Star reporter, represents a type of her
sex who thinks she can shop for her huS-
band or big brother to better advantage
than the real thing himself. 1t has ever
! been mystery to me why some men will
permit their wives or mothers to select
| their minor articles of apparel. You seldom
see them in the mems clothing department,
or in the stores devoted exclusively to the
sale of mems goods Here they constitute
our best customers.
Observe that she is making an 'ex-
change. We do not care, as we have af-
fected the sale. But what does it indicate?
Dissatisfaction on the part of the man.
The American woman is a born bargain
hunter. We reduce at certain seasons Of
the year left overs from the closing or the
preceding season. The reduction takes
the feminine fancy. and she buys. When
he sees it, If he has nerve enough to cop
per her choice, he kicks, and the exchange
follows. They frequently get way OFF on
the size of goods. That lady bought the
collars size too small. but they were bar
gains and she could not resist. 1t is SO
with other articles.
Women. you know. love to shop; men
do not, as a rule. There are men, how
ever, who accompany their wives here and
unite in the selection of their gowns and
hats. If 1 were a woman, l would prefer
my husband to be pleased at the time of
purchase rather than to have him say at
home, what a rag of a gown, or, such
fright of a hat Many Of the women who
buy for their husbands do because the
latter work until o'clock. and have little
opportunity to buy except during time
taken Off have worn neckties bought by
my better half, with set teeth and grim de-
termination. just to please her because she
said they were pretty There are many
other Washington martyrs who bear these
small infections with commendable forth
tude.
From my daily experience here I do
not think women make good selections of
mems goods. On colors. they are, of course.
superior. but on style and cut they are
governed by impulse and feminine taste.
With men the prevailing style, though per-
sonally unbecorning. governs their choice, .
and this is 1t should be, as mems wear
Is simple as compared with the intricacies.
of ladies' fashions. The existing mode
makes 1t correct. even II 1t is not adapted
to his particular style of manly beauty" I.

menced Monday, when headquarters were
opened and the work Of examining the ere
dentials of the veterans commenced. Tues
day the Society of the Porto Rican EXped1-
ton held big meeting at the rooms OF the
board of trade. Generals Miles, Brooke,
Garretson and Huling made addresses.
Wednesday there was a general reunion
and frolic of all the veterans In the state.
A big barbecue was arranged at the Driv-
ing Park and thousands of people filled the
space when the mayor made his address
of welcome to the visitors. Dewey came
in the afternoon, and he too took part In
the festivities at the Driving Park.
"a great campfire was held in the Audi
forum, the largest building in the city
Dewey was escorted from his hotel to the
place of meeting by one of the largest
turnouts Columbus ever saw. All the sail
ors and soldiers in the city took part in
the parade and attended the campfire
afterward. Thursday there was a public
reception to Dewey another parade and
the celebration was brought to close with
a magnificent display of fireworks and a
grand ball and reception. The people Of
Columbus did themselves proud and all the
visitors expressed themselves as highly
pleased at the manner in which they were

sumes the payment Of the purchase
price to the Indians and changes the
existing law relative to agricultural
colleges so as to insure the payments

fore come out Of the sale Of public
lands, in case Of deficiency. These
payments involve s1.2OO,OO0 annually

vations opened to settlement for which
