NEWPORT NEWS Va. March 23.-The
new steamship Korea, the largest vessel
ever built on this hemisphere, will be
launched next Saturday morning at Ii
O'Clock at the yard of the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock company, and
it is expected that between 20, 900 and 3d.
0CO people will be gathered around the
ways to see the monster hull take it's in

money changer will produce eleven 10

his living by trading cash fer the small

Elements. They wish cash because they
can supply their needs with it better than
any other way. If the dollar were quot
ed at 1000 cash, the dealer would give 800
cash for it, or its component parts, and
make 20 per cent by the exchange; and
the average native can accomplish more
with 500 pieces of copper than with a
single silver piece stamped as one dollar.
The lender wishes all the dollars he can
get, because he has means Of buyinge in
a large way at very close to quotation
rates. Small silver will not enable him
to make such purchases except at a dis

limited amounts. So he will gladly give

new soda fountain, 1t is two feet
wide, three and half feet long
and three feet high 1t is made oil
onyx and has ten syrup cans. 1t
is the very latest style fountain,
and was made to his special order,
The onyx in front is known as the
South African variety and is the
most expensive that can be had
The sides are of clouded onyx and
the tap is the Mexican marbleized
onyx The syrup cans are known
as the Esquimaux tank, and differ
from the usual tanks in that they
open on hinge instead of sliding
out, and are equipped with drop
heuds and the interior fitted with
block tin valve coolers. 1t will be

ments will be made shortly. after

RespectfulIy Referred.

As The Green Bag has it, Chief JUS
tiCc Marshall used to narrate with
great glcc the following correspond
ence on point of honor between Gov
ernor Giles Of Virginia and Patrick
Henry. The governor wrote:
Sir-l understand that you have called me a
bOhtail politician. l wish to know II it be true,
and, il true, your meaning. ". r. GILES.
Patrick Henry'S reply came promptly:
Sir-I do not recollect calling you a bobtail
politician at any time, but think 1t probable that
| have. can't say what did mean but il you
will tell me what you think | meant | will say
whether you correct not. Very respect
fully, PATRICK HENRY.
This was leaving it to Giles with a
vengeance; but, as there was no fur
thcr correspondence, the governor Of
Virginia must have read satisfaction
somewhere between the lines of Pat
rick Henry's brilliantly equlvocal re-
ply.
