AMERICAN COINAGE
The History of inscriptions or United States
 Money.

The History of inscriptions or United States
 Money
 Said a coin collector, whose fad IS early American coins: "l am reminded by the recent publication in the Times Magazine of the mystery of the 1854 dollar, of many curious facts about an early coinage which are very llttie known outside of numismatic circles. For instance, how many know that the words 'E PluribuS Unum, which have appeared on various United States coins ana are on the standard silver dollar aud the nickel iive.cent piece of today, were never authorized by law to be so placedy Very few, and yet, no doubt, as many know 1t as know that the later motto, Tn God We Trust, which appears on all the minor United States coins, was like wise originally stamped on them with out authority from the government.
 "The motto 'E Pluribus Unum' first appeared on an American coin in 17S6. There was no United States mint then and, In fact, no United States, the Constitution forming tine Union not having as yet been adopted. There was private mint at Newburg, NY, and E Pluribus Unum' was first placed on a copper coin struck at that mint Very few collections have specimens of this coin. It is very valuable.
 Tn l7s7 a New York goildsmth coined a piece of money which was known as the $l6 gold piece and upon it the motto was stamped in this form 'Unum E. Pluribus.' Only four of these coins are known tO be in eX- istencs. They are valued at more than $2, 900 each. New Jersey issued vari- ous copper coins in l7S7 with the mot to stamped upon them. A great many of our early coins, before there was any legal authority for national coin age, were made in England. Most of
 
 these were copper, and were coined for different states, and all bore the words F Pluribus Unum.:
 "The United States mint was eStab. liShed in l792, but the use of the na- tional motto on any of the gold, silver or copper coins was not authorized or directed by any of the provisions oi the act eSlablishing it. The motto re- mained on our early gold and silver coins until 1884, when it was omitted from the gold coins. In 1886 it was omitted from the 9 cent pieces, and in ls37 from all silver coins. It was not stamped on any coin again until it appeared on tue nickel and the stand ard silver dollar.
 "The words In God We Trust were first placed on the two-cent piece, which came into our subsidiary coin. age in 1906, but is now no louger q part of it. The motto was placed there by direction of James Pollock, then director of the United States mint at Philadelphia, and not by any legislation of congress authorizing the minting of the two-cent piece. The motto was subsequently, stamped on our silver half and quarter dollars, the mint thus boldly declaring the theological status of the country, re- gardless of the constitution attitude on the subject.

The something Is covey of quail from

Piles already taken show coal suit

The dissatisfaction with the govern
ment existing in many quarters OF
Spain. coupled with the great power
the labor party has acquired, gave a
political aspect to the riots at BARGE
Iona. Spain. Sagasta and Weyler
have. 1t is said. been watching with
anxiety for any disturbance which
might arouse martial spirit and de-
velop into a revolution. and the prepa-
ration of decree declaring martial
law throughout the kingdom is viewed
s a confession by the government
that 1t fears the possible development
of a revolution that would result in
the reins OF government ueing taken
from the Queen Regent. leaving young
Alfonso without a throne when he
reaches his majority next May.
The situation at Barcelona is more
reassuring. but other parts OF Spain
are in very unQuiet state. Advices
from Bilbao. valladolid, Coruna. Gi-
jon. and other industrial centers OF
Spain show that the attitude of the
miners and other workers Is distinctly
threatening. The greatest excitement
prevails everywhere. and the general
situation is extremely grave. The gar
risons Of Burgos and vittoria have
been ordered to be in readiness to start
for Saragossa at a moments notice.
All the railroads are guarded by
troops.
The most stringent measures were
ordered at Barcelona to protect traffic
and business. The strikers had a few
rides. but were well supplied with re-
volvers and daggers.
The search of suspected houses re-
suited in the arrest of large numbers
of anarchists and revolutionists OF all
kinds, who are considered to be the
prime movers in the troubles.
The cosmopolitan character of Bar
celona makes 1t resort for represen-
tatives Of all the revolutionary ele-
ments In Europe. ind the ranks OF
the malcontent workmea were swelled
by French and other foreign political
agitators. The Republicans went
among the troops. urging them not
to use their arms against their own
class In defense of the plutocrats.
According to the best available In
formation, the movement for q gen.
eral strike throughout Spain has fall
ed. The leaders OF this movement
counted upon the fact that the
strength OF the army had been reduced
and upon support from the trades
unions declined to join the general
strike on the ground that their fnan-
\ <cial resources were not sufncient.

new ENERGY
Evansville Man Claims to Have Made
Wonderful Discovery,
No More Fuel Necessary if His Claims
Prove to Be True.

Evansville, Ind, Oct 2S-If what
man Of this city says is true, he has
discovered an energy which will revo-
lutionize mechanical power and solve
the problem of fuel and heat for all
time. By q simple device like an cleo
trio battery, the construction Of which
remains his own secret, he says he can
extract energy from the rays Of the
sun and transmit it to motors for me-
chanical power, or to stoves and fur
nsces for heat. He claims to have a
working model Of the la ttery.
Emmett Greenfield is the man, and
he is employed as a molder ct Meskers
foundry. He is as years old. For
many years he has been experiment
ing, so he claims, and now has reached
the stage where he can announce to
the worlu that his device is perfect.
He will not divulge the nature OF the
battery or the principles upon which
it educes the suns energy to mechani-
cal power, or the nature of the power
itself-whether il is electrical in char
scter or entirely new to science.
In the house where Greenfield
b,ards he has room filed with exper-
mental batteries and drawings, but
no one is ever permitted to enter the
room. He says he will publish a de-
scription Of the discovery as soon as
he has a new model built and entered
at the patent office
The battery, he says, is especially
adapted to producing intense heat for
smelling purposes. The idea occurred
to him first in connect ION with the
melting of iron, he declares.
Greenfield is rather an eccentric
man, but is deeply informed and orig
inal, and those who know him we'll be-
lieve that his statements are truthful.

left on July and had been in Boston
since. This convinced Lieutenant
Moore that the negro was guilty and
telegraphed the chief of police there
