Walden Fawcett In the Criterion.
Some idea of the establishment which the America, I'm
voy at the British capital Is called upon to maintain NAV
be gained from the fact that the staff of house and stable
servants in the service of Mr.. Choate never numbers les
than thirty. and on the occasion of a great Social function
is swelled TO more than double that number. Mr.. Choate's
fame as an after-dinner orator preceded him TO London
and he has more invitations to dinner than any other
envoy at the British court. This, of course, entails mr..
responding responsibilities in the line of dinner-giving. and
thus in the course of each season he not only gives the
formal functions expected of an official in his position
but entertains privately large numbers of persons.

Sale of Valuable Commodity in Assay
Office in Wall Street.

Beneath stout bars guarding a wide,
arched window, in the United States as
say Olive in Wall street, thousands OF
dollars worth of little gold bricks, the
honest and true kind, pass every day
from Uncle Sans Golfers to the hands
of jewelers. and bankers. Ard all that
Uncle Sam charges for the exchange is
cents on $100 for the large bars and .
cents on 81 900 for the small ones.
For the week ending July 2S the gold
bars (they do not call them bricks in the
assay otfice) exchanged for gold coin
amounted to $3.50. .7SQ.1I. This is a small
figure compared with what the office has
done on q busy day. Once. six or seven
years ago. when a large quantity OF gold
was to be shipped to Europe, the assay
office exchanged $4,000, 900 into bars.
The bars Uncle Sam disDenses are of
two general sizes. the $4,000 size. for
bankers. and the $3.50 size. for jewelers.;
the small size being about an inch and
a quarter long, three quarters wide. and
perhaps half an inch or less in thickness.
Very often they run up to 5000 or even
more in value. Their size adapts them
TO the size of the jewellers crucible. AS
for the banker. he dues not melt his
gold; he contents himself with shipping
it back and forth across the ocean.
\ remarkable feature of this exchange
of legal tender for gold bars is that one
cannot always get just the amount he
wishes. II n jeweler or a banker wishes
$4,000 in gold bullion. Uncle Sam gives
him as near that amount as he possibly
can. 1t may be S9.910.50 OF $40. .O6O.S0. be-
cause the bars vary in size and weight.
and practically all OF them have odd
cents in their value. Two bars the
cashier handed out one day this week
were stamped s53l.70 and sl23.10.
In buying gold bars the purchaser first
tells the. cashier at the assay Office how
much he wishes; the cashier comes as
near this amount as he can with the bars
on hand. and then the purchaser goes
next door, to the subtreasury, where he
deposits his legal tender, gold certifi-
Gates. greenbacks or gold coin, for the
amount designated by the assay office
cashier as the nearest TO the desired
receiving therefor certificate
which. upon presentation at the assay |
office. insures the delivery OF the bars. |
But before they may be taken away the |
recipient must sign for them in the reg
lster which lies open beneath the bars of
the wide arched window.-New York
