The First Local Mint.

One OF the institutions here
which has the special attention of
tourists as we'll as the local people
is the Mint, which is established on
Nuuanu street, opposite Queen
Emma Hall. it is interesting to
enter the large main working room,'
where general manager McDonough
and his corps Of assistants are at
work. The cool and large lanai is a
proper resting place and the vaults,
where the "bars" to be minted and
beer are kept present a very tasty
spectacle. The Mint is open from
$50 y. m. to 11:30 p. m. and during
those hours the work never ceases.

How New Jersey Laws
MAKE THE STATE
The Home Of the Trusts
BY S. m'RgvNoLos, in the Worlds Work.

The Industrial American, whether
he desires to mine copper in Michi.
gan, to exploit the Philippines or Por.
to Rico, to cut lumber in New Mexico.
to operate a line OF steamers on the
Great Lakes, to manufacture steel pro-
ducts in Illinois. to buy furs in Alaska
or to run a chain OF restaurants in
New York, goes to the little city Of
Trenton, New Jersey, for a charter.
So also go the wolves OF commerce
with a view to profits on the Exchange
rather than to legitimate earnings;
SO also the foxes and the lynxes OF
trade, who plan the disposition OF fine
ly Autographed stock certificates and
bonds for development purposes, ."
which are intimately associated with
their own private purses.
The astounding proportions to which
this business of charter.giving has
grown is indicated by these figures

blocks of stock or to the holders of
preferred stock alone. and this reser.
certificates. This power enables the
inCorporators to exercise unlimited
sway In the election of the directorate
and the determination of the policy
OF the concern.
Power Of Directors.
The directors have power to make
assessments on all stock that Is not
floated at par, and. II the payments
are not promptly met to sell the stock
at auction. In most States the "freez'
ing out" of impecunious stockholders
must be accomplished by continuously
the value of the securities on the en-
change until the little holder Is forced
/ or frightened into selling. That
/ method. of course. is complicated and
permits the holder to receive some.
thing for his stock when 1t is sold. The
New Jersey law renders the process
simpler. By making the assessment
large enough, the whole selling price
may be absorbed by the assessment
and the lamb" left penniless. There
Is most significant exception to
this; bonus stock which Is usually Is
sued to promoters of preferred stock
Is not assessable.
Promotes. Property.
II Is likewise lawful In New Jersey
for promoter to sell his own pri
vate property to corporation that he
has been instrumental in forming
This must be done through the board
OF directors, but the law expressly
provides, II the property be taken a
an excessive price, that there shall bC
no appeal from the decision of the di
rectOrs and they are not personally
liable for the loss to the stockholders
Furthermore, II there be a lack o
funds to make payment, the never
failing device Of bond issue Is a
hand. There Is no limit to tn,
amount of bonded Indebtedness which
New Jersey corporation may as
sumo.
Frequently the bonds OF corpora
ton become immensely more valuabl
than its preferred stock and the hold
ers of preferred stock would like I
exchange their shares for bonds. Tn
laws OF New Jersey forbid the issu
OF bonds below par, but they must b
issued to retire deprecated preferre

y might require funds beyond their di
posal or cause an upward movemer
in the price that would defeat the
ends. The amount of stock must b
reduced. The solution OF all OF thes
:. dark problems is found in the law
permission to issue bonds withol
n limit and to exchange them for pr

4 GOOD PLAN.

Those in this vicinity who are inter
 ested in the prosperity of the Connec- ticut Teachers Annuity Guild-and they are many-are looking forward
 with hope to the fine entertainment
 which is to be given in this city early
 in April for the benefit of the Guild,
 Their hope is that the concert will add
 substantial sum to the funds of the Guild The indications are that it will Those in charge of the affair have
 wisely planned to give those who at tend the full worth of their money.
 They have boldly engaged the Boston
 Symphony Orchestra, an organization
 second to none in this country, if in the
 world. In order to do this the Super
 intendent of Schools in New Haven, every member of the Board of Educa- tion, every male teacher and nearly every teacher in the schools have sub
 schbed to a guarantee fund The engagement of this great orchestra is a guarantee that anybody who attenus the concert will get a benefit as well
 as help give one, and the generous offer
 of Professor S. S. Sanford of Yale Uni versity to officiate as soloist is another
 guarantee of the same kind. Lovers of good music in this region will be eager
 to seize the opportunity offered by the
 Teachers Annuity Guild. It is not of
 ten that an entertainment of such merit
 and attractiveness is offered here, and |, the fact that the Guild offers so much
 at the usual prices is a rather unusual feature of plans made to benefit good causes. It fully deserves the success which seems to be in sight It gives freely and it ought to receive freely

disobey the law of your country" The president then asked Grasselin what he would do if someone attacked him. T would not defend myself" Why" Because I will not kill" What would you do?" T would run away. , (Laughter) will you submit to the law" Not to kill. Give me some- thing else to do." The president: Your conscience ought to tell you to obey the law as all other Frenchmen do" A major who addressed the court as acting public prosecutor suggested that Grasselin was little cracked. The doctors, however, pronounced him to be quite sound, and that he had merely drawn exaggerated deductions from the principles of the Christian doctrine. Counsel for the defense said Grasseln was brought up by brutal father, and by a mother embittered by misfortune. He had read Tolstoi, Vic tor Hugo Guy de Maupassant and Re nan, and all these writers condemned war He had further been influenced by the teachings of the Bible. The president, before adjourning, asked Grasselin for the last time whether he would do his duty. After a minutes reflection defendant, gathering up his courage, said that 1t was impossible. He would do anything, but not kill Sentence-of two years Imprisonment was passed.-Paris Telegram to the London News.

Another crisis, turning point, parting of the ways, or whatever it was, was reached in the Constitutional Conven- ton yesterday. By a vote of S4 to 10 the e-representative-f from a-toWn idea was indorsed, and there was a vote of 101 to 56 for a senate of sixty
 How final this performance is remains to be seen. Perhaps some way will be found of making another crisis. IT there can be let us have it, We have had so many crises that they are not as thrilling as they were once, but there is no doubt that we ought to have as many as can be made. Constitutional Reform is solemn and Weighty matter, and the way it is treated at Hartford is consistent and encouraging. Let us have as much more of it as can be invented. Those who are already tired are lacking in understanding and pa triotism.

PROVIDENCE PHIL4

Providence, Rhode Island, has Workingmens Loan Association which seems to be doing good work, besides paying an annual dividend of six per cent. and adding to it's surplus. Its purpose is to loan money to people of small means at lower rate of interest than they can obtain elsewhere; in other words, to charge them only what vantage of their needs. The company has capital of fifty thousand dollars, which is all loaned, together with a part of it's surplus. That it reaches a large number is shown by the fact that the average size of the loans is forty two dollars and thirty four cents, there being at the close of the year twelve hundred and nine open accounts on its books an increase of two hundred and seventy-one over the previous year. The rate of interest charged is two per cent, a month at present, but this rate, it is
 
 is accumulated to meet possible losses. Losses so far however have been very small, those for the past year amount ing to only one hundred and five dol lars or less than a quarter of one per cent, on the capital stock; yet in no case has it been found necessary to foreclose and sell any furniture in use by the one to whom it belonged. The office expenses are large because of the necessary Investigation and oversight of very large number of small loans. Each year the association finds itself more and more resource in cases where sickness, death and other mis- fortunes press heavily on individuals who are ill-prepared to meet them.
 The work of the association has the warm endorsement of the Providence Journal which comments it to the at tention of the philanthropic in other communities that have no such organi- cations.

OBJECTION TO MILITARY DUTY.

Cases of Two Men Who Refused to
 Touch Rifles and Brought Before
 Court Martial. .........
 Two cases of conscientious objection to military service have come before the Besancon court-martial within a few weeks. The first case was that of a private in the infantry named Del sol. who. notwithstanding threats and entreaties, refused to touch a rifle. He was converted to his anti-military be- lief by an artilleryman named Grasse- lin, whose case was tried yesterday be- fore a court presided over by colonel. Grasselin was born at Giromagny, near Befort, and is farm laborer. Four days after his joining the colors his captain ordered him to open the breech of a gun. He refused, and said he could not. The military regulations on discipline were read out to him. The day after the order to open the breech was renewed, but to no effect. Every morning for i've days running the SUI periors of Grasselin--his sergeant, lieu tenant, captain, major and colonel urged, entreatied threatened, read over the military regulations-all in vain. "Why did you act thus?" asked the president yesterday. Jesus Christ sad Thou shalt not kill. Love one another I do not want to injure my neighbor," The president; You in jure no one by opening the breech of gun" Defendant: But I would have been next asked to shoulder a rifle. A rifle is made to kill, just as blow share is to turn the soda." President: Tt was no business of yours to argue about orders" Defendant: Jesus Christ is above my officers" The pres ident: "Christ does not order you to
