A dispatch from Monterey, Mexico, says
President Diaz has issued an order to the
Director of the MINIS requiring the accep-
tance at the minis and the Federal Assay
Offices of silver bars destined for coinage Of
850-1 900 fine and more, instead of 800
1000, as heretofore required. The Presi-
dent also orders a reduction in the mint
charges. This action is due to the scarcity
of silver and to the hope that it will en-
courage mintage. N. Y. Times
And yet The Times and all the rest of the
commercial press carried on their "sound
money" campaigns ON the one sing-song
story, which they kept shouting in chorus
over and over again, that "silver would
flood the country if it were restored to
the same mintage recognition as gold Now
that they are not employed in fooling vot-
ers, the same papers let it out that even
with the minis of the United States closed
to silver, there is not enough of ''foodn
to meet the needs of little Mexico.

The Sussex Register, the most Influential
old Republican paper in Northern Jersey
is getting thoroughly disguised as it begins
to learn what sort of law-making was done
by its party's late Legislature. 1t says
GAS if the fish and game laws were not
nonsensical enough, the new law forbids
fishing between p. m. and daylight. It
will soon be so that a man will not be
allowed to spit ON his bait As to the fish
ing hours, the farmers boy who takes
few hours at night to fish during the busy
season, will need to take the kitchen clock
or Waterbury watch with him, and then
the tick will brighten the fish Unless
some common sense is shot into the heads
of the aristocrats who aim to control the
fishing and hunting, there may be an up
rising of the people that will eradicate every
section of the law. If others should at
tempt to control the food and hours for
pleasure of the moguls that concocted this
law, they would be the first to rebel"

Mr.. Henry B. Shoemaker, of Repaupo,

old, born with only three legs, hind legs
and one fore leg. The legs are of natural
size and shape and well developed. The
missing fore leg is on the right side. The
brisket and shoulder are we'll developed.
The calf can run about as well as fully
developed calf. The muscles in the right
shoulder are quite visible when the calf is
moving about. This is rare freak of
nature and the manner and ease with which
the calf moves is marvellous. The fore leg
is in its proper place on the left side, thus
throwing the weight on one side. 1t is
thrifty and sleek. Mr. Shoemaker will

The last legislature enacted law taking
the licensing power from Common Council
in all third and fourth-class cities and lodg-
ing it in the Court of Common Pleas. The
only South Jersey cities to which it applied
were Salem and Gloucester City. The
constitutionality Of the act was tested in
the Supreme Court by Henry Black, of
Gloucester City, and Justice Garrison, on
Monday, rendered the decision of that
Court, which characterizes the law as I'M
constitutional and vicious, because of its
apparent attempt to override the constitu-
tional provisions requiring general legisla-
tion respecting internal affairs of towns
and cities.

THE BIG STEEL COMBINE.

Andrew Carnegie has named a
price for the sale of his entire in
terest in the vast Carnegie Steel
Company.
The prce is said to be $780, 900,
900 in frst-mortgage S per cent.
gold bonds and about sI38, roa, 900
in cash, which is equal to 81, 600
per share for the $50. $40, 900 par
in stock which he owns in his own
steel companies, The par value of
the shares being 81, 900 each.
This vast deal-the greatest ever
made by any individual in the world
lis being negotiated by J. Pierpont
Morgan, acting for himself, for
John d. Rockefeller, of the Stand
ard Oil Company, and other
capitalists, who hope to unite
practically all the steel-producing
companies in the country under a
single management.
This plan If carried out will re-
suit in an industrial organization of
even greater power than the Stand
ard Oil Company. The capitalize
ton of the combination may run as
high as $1,000, 900, 900, and will
have behind it not only the steel
magnates who have dominated that
industry for years but the Rookie
fellers and their associates in the
industrial world and J. Pierpont
Morgan and his associates in the
financial world.
Every branch of the steel indus
try will be controlled by the
amalgamation, and its effectiveness
as a monopoly will be absolute.

THE INSTALLATION.

Here is story told by a well
known minister
The day on which l was installed
in my present charge / was request
ed TO address the Sunday school.
/ attempted to make plain to the
children the idea of installation.
In doing so / related this anecdote:
A congregation has called a new
minister. His installation is an
nounced for certain Sunday.
Coming home from church boy
who evidently has listened to the
announcement very attentively, asks
his father: Father what do they
do when they install a minister
Do they put him in a stallp" "No"
replies the latter, "they hitch him
to congregation and make him
pull"
A little girl had evidently not
seen the point in this, for when she
got home she told her mother the
mother related this to me afterward
that she wanted to go to church
that evening. My installation was
to take place in the evening.
'What for my dearl You never
go to church in the evening"" "Well,
but the minister said we should
come, and then want to see it,
too" ''What do you want to see 4"
,,Don't you know, mamma 4"
'iNo. What do you mean3" 'Why,
they are going to hitch the minister
to cart and make him pull it
around the church."
