voting age a whole include only a very
small percentage of illiterates in Califor-
MIA Colorado and Connecticut, but in the
remaining four states and territories illit-
crate males of voting age constitute from
one-ffth to one-third of the whole number:
33.7 per cent in Alabama. 2S.3 per cent IN
Alaska 239 per cent in Arizona and 20
per cent in Arkansas. These large per-
centages are due to the great number OF
illiterate persons of negro descent in Ala
bama and Arkansas. ilIiterate Chinese and
Indians in Alaska, and illiterate Indians
and foreign whites in Arizona.
The percentage of illiterates among the
native white males of native parentage and
of voting age Is 40 for Alabama and los

whites 800 for Arizona and 1870 for Con-

In Alaska and Connecticut more than
one-third and in Arizona and Colorado
more than one-fourth OF the males Of mi

Henry Ives Cobb VIII Enter Suit
Against the Building Commission.
A special to the Philadelphia Times from
Harrisburg says: The probability is that
Governor Stone will lose no time after his
return from his fishing trip to appoint a
capitol building commission. One of the
members of the commission, 1t Is said, will
be Edward Bailey of this city, the presi-
dent Of the Harrisburg National Bank
1t Is safe to predict that the first work Of
the new capitol commission will be to de-
fend lawsuit. Among the provisions OF
the FOX bill is a section requiring that the
architect for the new building shall be a
Pennsylvania. Henry Ives Cobb of Wash
ington. d. c., supervised the work on the
present incomplete structure. His plans
were for complete building with two
wings to replace the present old buildings
housing the departments of internal affairs
and agriculture
Mr.. Cobb claims that his contract with
the commission appointed by Hastings was
for completing the building. The state
claims that the plans which Cobb drew
have become the property of the state by
the terms Of the contract, and that since
fst they could not have hired Cobb to do
work then unauthorized. nor could they
have pledged him a commission on sums
not appropriated.
Cobb is prepared to go into the courts.
He has employed Snodgrass & Snodgrass
attorneys, of Harrisburg, to present his
claim, which is for 5 per cent commits
sion on the total cost Of completing and
furnishing the capitol.

A COINS. QUEER HISTORY.
| For Thfrty-Two Years One Quarter
Circulated Between Two Men.

For Thfrty-Two Years One Quarter
Circulated Between Two Men.
From the New York Mail and Express
There is a proprietor of popular cafe
In a downtown cross street who guards as
his chefest treasure a worn and battered
coin which was struck from the mint In
1869. The coin Is only a twenty-fve-cent
piece, but 1t Is safe to say that SIS could
not buy It. and the reason why Is this:
When the owner of the coin opened his
cafe, shortly after the civil war, he chose
a good location, and this fact. coupled with
his own vigorous personality, brought him
a flourishing trade. His business grew so
rapidly that another cafe was opened by a
rival directly across tho s+roct -
conner announced that he was after part
OF the trade III the neiS.,Do-
what was more he was going to get 1t. His
attitude was distinctly defiant. and the
customers of the established cafe wagged
their heads solemnly and said that trouble
was brewing.
On the day that the new cafe was
opened a crowd Of idlerS filled the place
and waited for something to happen. They
were not disappointed, for in the middle
of the morning In strolled the restaurateur
from across the street, and. throwing
shining quarter on the bar, he asked his
rival to have something to drink. So the
men drank. while the crowd gaped and
wondered who would strike the first blow.
But no blows were struck. On the con-
trary, during the afternoon the owner of
the new cafe took the same coin which his
rival had used in the morning, and, walk
ing across the street, treated in turn.
The operation was repeated the next
day and every day for thirty years Mean
time the piece of money grew worn and
old, and the two men grew worn and old
too. At last the proprietor of the newer
cafe died and the other man was the
chief mourner at his funeral, and when
1t was all over he put the battered quar-
ter IN a safe place and vowed never to
part with 1t this side of the line sepa-
rating him from one who had been both
his rival and his friend.

James E. Johnson of COS street north

days ago Saxty had assaulted him with an
iron paper weight, infiicting injuries which
