CHINESE SET THE PACE.
Proof That They Used the Greenbacl<
as Currency Seven Hundred
Years Ago.

A financial journal that has been
delving into the mysteries of past
ages and the histories of other ma
tions quite recently printed fac
simile of Chinese treasury note OF
the year 1867, probably the Oldest
piece of paper money in existence.
This note was found last January
along with other valuables in bronze
statue of Buddha which stood in a.
temple within the inclosure of the
summer palace of the dowager em-
press of China. italian soldiers en-
gagged in looting broke a hole in the
base of the figure and the paper money
tumbled out along with gold, silver
and brass coins. lentils, rice, rolls of
prayers, etc. The note was issued, ac-
cording to the printing on it, "by the
board of revenue of Emperor Hung
WI in the year 1867" and its value is
stated to be 1850 taels" (about $167).
1t professed to be "redeemable in sill
yer bullion"
Resides being the oldest known
piece of paper money this treasury
note makes ii clear that Gutenberg
was not the first user of movable type.
The note was clearly printed with
movable type at date over 100 years
before Gutenberg began to expert
ment. The German printer was born
In 141O. long after the use of movable
type in China. 1t Is asserted, in fact,
that the Chinese employed movable
type as early as the eleventh century.
The British museum has a Corean
hook of 1897. Paper money in China
dates back to 140 h. C. or earlier. Ac-
cording to Klaproth the earlier bills
were made of white stag skin and
were a foot square,

A SoNG-wRITfNG PRINCE.
Duleep singh, Whose Grandfather
Owned the Kohinoor Dia amond
Musical Enthusiust.

Prince Duleep Singh, by right of sue
cession entitled to the throne of the
Maharajah Runjeet Singh, is a song
composer of more than ordinary merit
He inherited the talent from his fa-
ther, who left among his papers the
manuscript of an opera which Prince
Duleep Singh has declared his inten'
tion of having scored for orchestra ant
presented at Covent garden, London
says the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post.
The prince, who leads the life of al
English country gentleman at Hook
wold hall, Norfolk, and who is cap
tain in volunteer regiment, was edu
Gated at Eton and Cambridge. anG
married, some three years ago, the
youngest daughter of the earl of Gov
entry.
His annual pension from the British
government is G 100000, about s250,000
He belongs to several fashionable
clubs. and for two years was honorary
aid de camp to Lieut.. Gen. Ross, wheT
that gentleman was in command al
Halifax, \. $.
The famous Kohinoor diamond, now
one OF the English crown jewels, was
the property of his grandfather, Run
jeet Singh. This extraordinary per
sonage, whose sole legacy from his
father was troop of cavalry, acquired
the vast territory bounded by the In
dus and the Sutlej, and became owner
of Cashmere 10 the snowy range and
beyond. His treasure in cash, jewel,
and horses and elephants was esti
mated at $5O,00O. 900.

ups and downs of Mr.. Dooley Down, an
aspirant for political honors. In This
character George Hickman is seen at his
best, and those who remember this gentle

different attractions will doubtless recall
the comparison to Johnny Ray. of ''Ihe
Rays, in Il Hot Old Time. The sup
porting company consists Of the two
Hickman Brothers, Harry and Paul,
Harry Rose, and many others. The
comedy will be presented here in the
same careful manner regarding detail
that has characterized its success in the

CHINESE TELEPHONE.
Mongolian Merchants Of San Fran
cisco Have System.
For Use Among That Race Only and
Extremely Popular Among the
Business Men-Great Foats
OF Memory.

What is said to be the only Chinese
telephone system in the world is in
operation in the city of San Francisco.
There are altogether about $4,000 Chi
nese citizens, of whom 1900 are mer-
chants. OF this sgmber 270 are SUBJ
scribers to the telephone.
These Chinese merchants were
prompt to understand the saving Of
time and great convenience in the use
OF the instrument. Though looked
upon, for a time, with some supersti-
tious dread, familiarity has accus-
toned the people to its use and it has
now become an indispensable con-
comitant of the regular Office equip
ment. The central Office heretofore
has been too small to allow any in
crease of the subscribers, but the
company has recently acquired prop
erty and is fitting it up so as to ac-
commodate any number. 1t is expect
ed that with greater facilities twice
as many instruments as are now in
use will be installed, says the Scientific
American.
The system in Chinatown is entire
ly independent and is for the Chinese
only. To communicate with outside
subscribers separate charge is made.
A white merchant using the China
town system must also pay extra.
The Chinese subscribers can and do
use the long distance wiSs upon pay
ment of the customary charges.
Altogether there are seven China
men employed in the Office, chief
operator and three assistants, besides
three messenger boys who are on
duty day and night, the Office being
never closed. In respect to facility
the Chinese telephone operators are
quite equal to the whites.
1t is said that the voice of the China
man is superior to all others in the
dfstinctness with which ii can be
transmitted by wires. In calling SUBJ
scribers the operator, instead of using
numbers to designate each one, as GUS
tomary among the whites, is compelled
10 call the names of the individual
or firm that is wanted, feat of MEM
ory of which only Chinese operator
is capable; and not only, it is said,
Is he equal to this, but also carries in
his mind the probable haunt of the
man required should he be unable to
ring him up at his regular place Of
business.
The operators of the Chinatown
| system are in no relation to the metro
politan office. They are hired and paid
by the Chinaman who controls it. The
main company install the instruments
and keep the wires in repair, allowing
heir Chinese agent certain amount
for each subscriber, the agent collect
ing the bills and securing new sub
scribers.
The San Francisco experiment has
proved successful one financially
and is extremely popular among a
people even as loath to accept new
ideas as Cinnamon are; and it is be-
lieved that one result of the local ex-
pertinent will be the early introduce
tion of the telephone throughout the
whole Chinese empire as soon as con-
ditions of peace are assured.

Conflict Between England and Tur

Conflict Between England and Tur-
key.
Paris, Sept. 26--The Patrie prints
n sensational story to the effect that q
conflict has broken out between Great
Britain and Turkey, saying that three
British war vessels have been ordered
to the Persian gulf to suppress revolts
at Touet, in the province Of Bagdad,
and that the Turkish government has
dispatched strong detachment of
troops with instructions to oppose the
landing Of the British forces. Russia,
Germany and France, the paper also
says, have agreed to support Turkey.
Touet in the Patrie's story is evident
iy Koweyt, the proposed terminus of
The Bagdad railroad. 1t is the only
port on the Persian gulf having a good
harbor.
Inquiries made in official quarters
here elected an emphatic denial that
there was any such agreement between
Germany, Russia and France as re-
ferrcd to by the Patrie, and no c0nfir-
nation was Obtainable regarding the
alleged alarming situation, which Is ev-
identity built OH the fact that three
British warships happened to be at
Koweyt and that 1t is reported the
British are encouraging the local sui
tan to repudiate Turkish suzerainty.

II has been commented upon by those

comedy. "rapa's Baby" in which Wat
s,n, Hutchings and Edwards are featured
this season by Manager Fred Il. Wright
that no mention has been made Of the
story Of the play in detail This is said
to be- due to thu fact that the first az,
contains a situation which is distinct
surprise. and which the author brings in
by the use Of entirely unexpected mctn-
ods. This situation is, of course, pro-
ductive Of big laugh and its value is
therefore enhanced by secrecy. The de-

declared to possess such thing, hinge.

the mystery with which the story is sur.
rounded. Manager Wright has provided
