 In speaking of the event, Miss Esrey said: "The experience has not detracted from the excitement of the sport, neither has it unnerved me for the hunt It has taught me lesson that will be valuable in the future, to at all times be careful and keep possession of the reins."
 Her parents. who are justly proud of the heroism of the young lady, were q little nervous at first, but they have HOW recov- cred, and have fixed a priceless s-aiue on the dog.

SILVER DOLLAR
Destined To Pass Out of Existence, Says
 Mint Director.

Washington Correspondence Philadelphia
 North American.
 Director Roberts of the Mint sounded the doom of the silver dollar today. He said it never had been popular coin; that there was no demand for it, and that it was destined to pass permanently out of existence as part of United States money.
 On the other hand, he said, there is de- mand for subsidiary dimes quarters and halves, which is increasing so fast that the mint at present cannot keep pace with il.
 The government is now eoining the small est amount of silver dollars allowed by law -1,5OoO0O a month The bullion for them is taken from the vast store of it pur- chased before the repeal of the Sherman act in 1893, about 61, ,000 GOO ounces, or enough for $S5 000, GOO remaining on hand at present
 Director Roberts favors the plan of at once and forever stopping the coinage of silver dollars and of using the silver bull lion on hand for subsidiary coin. "The country is taking about $5,000,000 a month" he said, "of these coins, and with the coin age of dollars stopped we could soon catch up to the demand for fractional cur rency.
 ''Who would regret the disappearance of the dollar from daily use? Nobody Per sons who offer you a silver dollar in change nowadays excuse themselves, and the offer of six, eight or ten silver dollars in change Is regarded almost as an insult"
 There are about 800, GOO, 900 silver dollars now in circulation, and the only plan sug- gested for getting them out of existence is to recoin them into halves, quarters and dimes after the 61 900 ounces of bullion now on hand is all used for that purpose.
 A bill has been introduced embodying the views expressed by Director Roberts, and he has spoken in committee in support of It.

YOuth's Communion.

When Johann Strauss took his Or
chestra to Russia he had some unus.
ual experiences not generally vouch-
safed to those who live outside an au-
tocratic government.
One day he received the czarina's
commands to play before her at her
summer resort, and was told, on arriv-
ing there, that he would have to re-
hearse his program three times before
the performance. He begged to know
the reason for that, but no explana-
ton was given him. These were her
maiesty's orders and he could only
comply. Still his establishment grew
when he saw, during the three rehear-
sails, an empty court carriage drawn
by pair of horses slowly going back
and forth in front of his orchestra.
Throughout the final performance
the mysterious act was explai ned.
The empress, having a sharp attack Of
govt, was obliged to recline in the car
rioge, her foot on cushion, while the
concert took place, and the object of
rehearsal had been to accustom the
horses to full string band, lest they
should take fright and bolt with their
mistress.
At the end of the performance an
exalted dignitary of the court babe
Strauss follow him to splendid grand
piano, saying:
Now be good enough to play me
all the newest Vienna music"
Although he was pretty fatigued by
his three rehearsals and State per-
Torrance, Strauss thought it ex-
pedient to comply, but after he had
played continuously for over an hour
he stopped, saying:
II presume that will be sufficient"
am not at all tired" coolly re.
sponded his exeellency.
But amp said Strauss, and rose
from the instrument.
