most frequent this year thus far not "A
single case of iynching has occurred
there. Judge Lynch seems to have
surrendered his functions to the reg
ula courts of justice, which are pro
viding the gallows with a remarkable
number Of victims. black and white.
Nine, seven white and two coiored,
have been hanged since January /. In
one day, the 18th inst. there were four
hangings. n in each corner OF the
state. During the mex few days there
will be several more. and no less than
a score are booked for the gallows dur
ing the next sixty days.
The state is In the midst Of an cpl
demic Of hanging. and the law-abiding
people approve OF it, as they believe it
will exert a deterrent influence on the
criminal classes. This remains to be
seen. Nearly all OF those thus far
hanged have met their doom either
with indifference or with braggadocio.
One Of them, John Sasser, on being
notified that he was to be hanged be,
tween 10 a. m. and 1 p. M. and asked
II he had any choice as to the hour,
promptly and coolly replied: Let her
go at l o'clock. I'll stay in the game
until the limit" II this is the general
view taken-of legal execution by the
Mississippi murderers it is question
able whether 1t will exercise any spe
cially good influence On criminals.
II the people Mississippi have de
cided to let the courts administer jus
tice instead of mobs, 1t is a great point
gained for law and order, and it will
have a good influence upon other south
ern states where the moi has beer toe
much in evidence. Once the courts are
in full operation I'M justice is agar
administered by them it will be fol
the benefit OF the entire community
black and white. It may then be an
ticipated that crimes by blacks will
measurably decrease. Crimes b!
whites a be looked after by the
courts and in time they may decrease

PARIS UNoeRTAkERs LAMENT.

Fewer Costly FuneFals Now thaa In the
Good Old Times.
The last Paris exposition has been
blamed for many things, but few peo-
pie suspected that it has earned a
grudge on the part of the undertakers.
Such. however. proves to be the case,
Ia few days ago l was informed by q
member OF this somber fraternity that
1901 had been one Of the worst years
lin his line that he could remember,
and oficial statistics support his state
ment.
During last year the number of
deaths in Paris was $500 fewer than
the average. and one large firm of un-
%aertakers did $4,000 less business than
lin 1900. while another showed q de-
crease In receipts Of R1,e00. The
prospect grows less promising every
year.
Every Sunday there is an average OF
700 funerals in Paris. but last Sunday
the number was only 100. The reduc.
ton In profits is attributed by the un-
aertakers to the exhibition, bad trade.
and the increased cost Of living, all
of which have tended to keep Parish
ans away from the capital and make
them practice economy even in flu
nerals.
The cheapest funeral In Paris costs
IL s%hillings, but, If one feels inclined.
,ne may spend ~ much a. R12,0O0 on
icing buried Among the costliest
~obseQuies that France has known was
that of the Due d'Aumale. which cost
e2.400: the Emperor Of Brasil, E3.20O.
and that Of the late Mr.. Mackay. son
II the silver king. the bill for which
amounted to $4,000.

COIN HAS VANISHED.
NuMisMATIsTs PUZZLED OVER MYs-
FERROUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Tw saty Thousand Dollars OF the Coin
9 Of 1904 Gan Not Ne Traced
Belief That the Mon-y Was Never
Put Into Circulation.

There is something curious about
tho American silver dollar and half
dollar OF the coinage of 1904 said a
weil-known numismatist of New York.
In that year something like 20. 900 OF
the dollars were coined. but 1t is a
singular fact. as is now known, that
not n of them was known to be in
circulation. Yet the most precious of
all American coins are two 1904 dol
lars. which are in well-known collec-
lions. They are valued at 81, 1000 each
1t has been determined to the salts
faction OF every numismatist that these
two dollars were not coined until 1928.
although they were struck from the
original 1904 die. They we're secretly
made-although such a procedure is a
penal ofense-for some one high in in
huence and authority, who desired
them for certain coin collections, II
has never been positively ascertained
how the surreptitious work was accom-
plished. but there is no doubt that 1t
was done.
why the dollar OF 1904 was never
seen In circulation after leaving the
mint is one Of the unsolved government
mysteries.
"A still greater mystery surrounds
the h~alf-dollar of 1904. or that coin
nearly 160, 900 were struck. Not one
was ever discovered In circulation. The
Quarter-dollar OF 1904 are numerous
enough-so plentiful. in fact. that a
fair specimen can be bought for 81,
