OLD MONEY.
Ragged Bills and Smooth Coins at tn
Pan-American Fair.
From the New York Times

Ragged Bills and Smooth Coins at the
Pan-Amerfcan Fair.
From the New York Times.
There are more ragged old bank bills
government notes and ancient silver coin
that have been put into circulation in Buff
falo during the Pan-American exposition
than have been seen for a quarter Of CEN
tury. searcher after the cause found
many Of the cashiers of shows and other
places who could give explanations. One
money taker Of q midway performance
said: Its simple enough. Farmers from
the interior of New York state, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio have been attracted to the
exposition because they could see a big
show cheap. They take their hoard of old
silver coins and small bills, which have
been out OF circulation and, in their stock
ings and teapots for years, and turn them
loose here. 1t is hard on the city folks,
but the farmers would be insulted If you
refused their old coin"
A cashier Of German resort said: There
are thousands of Germans who came to this
country and worked hard for years, saving
their small change They come here and
spend old dimes ana quarters saved on the
farm as If they we're fite-dollar bills"
Another shrewd Observer said: You see,
there are thousands OF people who come to
the exposition whoiNo Hot fully know the
value Of coins. Many Inscriptions people
are making 1t a business to collect all the
battered coin which would be refused in
New York and send tt here to be palmed
off on the haybeedsv and foreigners.
Plugged coins which would be refused In
New York and which .Swould have to be
sold for large discount find their way
here and pass at full race value. Then,
again. there are many Canadian people
who have battered Tinted States currency
which they want to gef rid Of It seems
as If all the old garretsf of this state had
been racked to find sol6i bills and coin to
be put In circulationid during the exposition" !"
The custom is established at the exposi-
tion not to refuse battered coin, because
It is SO easy to pads, ftsthrough the cash
drawer to the next .hnshspecting visitor.

SUPERIORITY OF WOMEN.

knowledge that woman, in spite Of her
much criticised method Of dress, teaches us
valuable lesson upon this point. Look at
woman In hot weather; no matter how hot
it may be- she looks COOL Although woman
understands the art of never looking the
way she feels, 1t must be acknowledged
that she really is cool. Man, on the other
hand, looks like a boiled lobster as soon as
the thermometer chases upward a few
points. Man. with his underwear. stiff
front shirt, waistcoat and coat, feels the
way he looks-stfcky, nasty, uncomfortable

present indications We will be compelled to
suffer as heretofore.
Light, airy clothes are not only more
comfortable, but greatly improve the gen.
eral health. Woman suffers less from colds,
ETC., than man. The percentage of women
that of men. Women are physically
peTfor to men In every respect. Statistics
show that women outlive men. There Is
little doubt that woman'S superior vitality
is due as much to her sensible method OF
dress as anything else. AS little children
they are dressed lighter than their brothers.
and as years roll on man deteriorates more
and more. I firmly believe that vanity
alone prevents man from wearing light
clothes The truth is that he Is ashamed
to shed his pads. After being broad shoul-
dered all winter it is rather embarrassing
to appear in a neglige shirt minus pads.
Shoulder padding has become such a uni
versM practice that a well-built athlete
with nineteen or twenty-inch width Of
shoulders has to pad In self-defense.

A miserable-lookings specimen of humanity
strolled into our camp this morning. He
claims to be an American, but he certainly
does not look it. He further says that his
name Is James Kearney, formerly artifcer,
Company M. 43d Infantry; that he enlisted

claims that he was captured six months
ago by the insurgents and has been kept
close prisoner ever since. His story is fishy
and his eyes are furtive. He does not know
on what part Of the island he was a cap
tive. He says he has been sick for the past
three months and has been out of his head
with fever. He is quite stout in body and
looks as though he has had plenty to eat.

people in the mountains are fnsurrectos.
He further says that they have plenty of

they would fight any way but from am
bush, and then their numbers must be
much stronger than the Americans.
The writer had several interviews on the

others going into the bottoms should be very careful

have never in practice objected to
people rambling over our fields and
through our woods if they do no
damage to our property. The abso-
lutte eXclusiveness of a private close as
understood in England, never has OBJ
tanned here. But begin the remedy
with the enforcement of the Sunday
law. Never mind the various shades
of public opinions about morals. The
law is the law. Enforce it, That
should altogether put an end to SUM
day hunting. In the present condi-
ton of things, if there is any law
that will guarantee people the peace,
full enjoyment of their private proper
ty, it should be invoked for the pur-
pose, no matter with what intent the
law was originally framed.
The foregoing, from the st. Adams
Messenger, is good precept and it
ought everywhere in the State to be
rigid practice Similar complaints
come from round about Montpelier
and probably from every other town
of any size throughout the State. The
Journal does not believe in the rem
edy of repeal to cure the non enforce
ment of a good law. The State enacts
law that is manifestly a good and
proper law and it ought to be able to
insure consistent and insistent-en-
forcement, from day to day week to
week and year to year. The State is
under stronger obligation to see
that the laws it makes are steadily
and with firm pressure enforced than
is the citizen to obey such laws.
LaXness in the enforcement of law is
an invitation to it's violation and
the source of contempt or disregard
of law in general.
The Sunday hunting law is a good
and proper law, and ought to be firm
ly and continuously enforced. 1t is
trifiing with the most important func-
ton of government for the Legis-
lature to enact a law with no thought
or purpose that it shall be enforced,
or to abandon it to its own enforce
ment, which is non enforcement.

REPORTS DIFFER.

Newspaper reports differ. On July
Santiago de Cuba, Commodore Schley
made and carried to the Commander
in-chief, Admiral Sampson, on board
the flagship New York, a prelim-
mary report of the battle for the in
formation of his official superior
Soon after Schley's return to the
Brooklyn, Sampson signalled him to
come aboard the flagship. The pre-
liminary report was handed back to
Schley. This report was the subject
of a sharp squabble in the cross ex-
animation, the department seeking to
suppress it and Schley's counsel to
have it admitted. The reason why
this report was returned to him was
thus stated by Admiral Schley in his
testimony:
He (Sampson) handed the report
back to me with the statement that
he was the commander in chief and
that / had omitted very important
present. l felt at that time that the
victory was, as said, big enough for
all, and l did this out of generosity
and because 1 knew that if the New
York had been present she would
have done as good work as any of us.

mary report was directed to the com
mander- in-chief
Schley said the commander-in-
chiefs reason for returning the report
was the omission of the very import
ant detail that the New York was not
present. " Some of the newspapers
are saying that Admiral Sampson
declined to receive the first report
because it did not mention the pres
ence of the New York, a reason
which, besides not being in accordance
with the testimony, is not in harmony
with Schley's stated object in not
mentioning the absence of the New
York. Schley's conduct in this in
stance, as everywhere else, shows the
man of generous and unenvious i'm
pulse. There was glory enough in
the victory as Schley said, for
all. " The trouble all arose from the
circumstance that Sampson sought to
swipe all the glory
