A fair, buxom widow who had
buried three husbands, went with a
gentleman who had paid her marked
attention in the days of adolescence,
to inspect the graves OF her "dears
departed" After contemplating the
scene for some minutes in mournful
silence, she murmured to her COM
panlon: "Ah, Joe, you might have
been in that row if you had only had
a little more courage"

with local treatment, pronounced it in

be a constitutional disease and therefore

AMERICAN COINAGE.
The History of Inscriptions on Unit.
ed States Money.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Said a coin collector whose fad Is
early American coins: 81 am remind
ed by the recent publication in the
Times Magazine of the mystery of
the 1904 dollar, of many curious facts
about an early coinage which are very
little known outside of numismatic cir
Giles. For instance, how many know
what the words e Pluribus Unum.'
which have appeared on various Unit
ed States coins and are on the stand
ard silver dollar and the nickel five
cent piece of to-day, were never au-
thorlzed by law to be so placed? Very
Few, and yet, no doubt, as many know
1t as know that the later motto, In
God We Trust, which appears on all
the minor United States coins, was
likewise originally stamped on them
without authority from the govern
ment."
THE motto e Pluribus Unum' first
appeared on an American coin in 1886
There was no United States mint
then, and, in fact no United States,
the constitution forming the Union not
having as yet been adopted. There
was private mint at Newburg, n. Y,
and f Pluribus Unum' was first
placed on a copper coin struck at that
mint Very few collections have spec
linens of this coin. 1t is very valua-
BILE.
I'm 1887 a New York goldsmith coin
ed a piece of money which was known
as the SIG 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 existence.
They are valued at more than $1,000
each. New Jersey isued various cop
per coins in 1887 with the motto
stamped upon them. A great many of
our early coins, before there was any
legal authority for national coinage,
were made in England. Most of these
were copper, and were coined for diff
ferent states, and all bore the words,
e Pluribus Unum.'
The United STATES mint was estab-
lished in 1892, but the use of the ma
tional motto on any OF the gold, silver
or copper coins was not authorized or
directed by any of the provisions of
the act establishing it. The motto re-
manned on our early gold and silver
coins until 1884, when it was omitted
from the gold coins. In 1886 it was
omitted from the 25-cent pieces, and
in 1887 from all silver coins. 1t was
not stamped on any coin again until it
appeared on the nickel and the stan
dard silver dollar.
The words In God We Trust were
first placed on the two-cent piece,
which came into our subsidiary coinage
in 1866, but is now no longer part of
it, The motto was placed there by di-
rection of James Pollock, then director
of the United States mint at Philadel-
phia, and not by any legislation of
Congress authorizing the minting of
the two-cent piece. The motto was

NICKLEBY AT THE CORONATION.
An Interesting story Dating From
the CrOwning of Victoria.

From the London Graphic.
An interesting contribution to the
evening meeting of the Boz Cuban
association composed of those who
knew and loved Dickens during his
lifetime-heId at London, was mar
rated by peer, who himself had re-
ceived it from the mouth of one who
was present with his peers at the cor
onation of Queen Victoria. They had
assembled a the abbey at O'Clock in
the morning, with the prospect of re-
naming in their places for ten hours,
but twenty-five peers came provided
with copies of a paper-covered INSTALL
ment, published the previous evening,
of story by Boz.
Less fortunate peers demanded that
the number should be read aloud, but
this proposal being objected to as in
consistent with the sanctity of the
place, they waited as patiently as they
could until each in his turn received
the coveted chapters. 1t had been
said that the story was "Pickwick,"
but this was obviously lapse of mem
DRY, for the last number of "Pickwick"
was published eight months before the
coronation. Probably it was "Nickle-
by" but the name of the work mat
tiers little The point of the story is
that there was at that time in Eng
land a novelist, who, though only &c
years of age, could command the pub
lie interest to such an extent that no
fewer than twenty-five copies of his
work We're to be found in one gallery
of that august assembly.

TO CONSULT Mr.. CRAIG.
Mr.. w. III. Leahy Has Gone to WiIm-
ingtOn for That Purpose.

Mr.. w. H. Leahy, who has been chief
clerk in the passenger department Of
the Plant System, left yesterday for
Wilmington, whittier he was called by
telegraph for a consultation with Cen
eral Passenger Agent w. j. Craig. 1t
is believed and hoped by Mr. Leahy's
many friends that the result of this
conference will be his appointment as
assistant general passenger agent of
the Coast Line, with office at Savan-
nah. 1t is held that some passenger
man in authority will be needed by the
Coast Line in Savannah, and it is ar
gued that Mr.. Leahy is the logical and
wise choice for the position of assist
ant general passenger agent. The Cen
trail Railway has its general passen-
ger agent at Savannah, and the Sea-
board Air Line has an assistant gen
eral passenger agent here. 1t is as
serted that those roads will have an
advantage over the Coast Line unless
1t, too, has passenger official here.

SUPPLY ACCOUNTANTS OUT.
Some of the Plant system Force Ger
UnveIcOme Notices.

Notice was given some seven or eight
employees of the Atlantic Coast Line
yesterday that they would not be re-
tained in the service after Aug. l. These
were old Plant System employees, and
little time was lost about giving them
their notices. They were Plant System
employees on June 30, but it was not
long after that date before they were
given notice that they would not be
Coast Line employees for more than a
month. The assurance of Vice Presi-
dent Walters. therefore, does not count
for very much. 1t has been carried out
to the letter, but ii was never regarded
by the employees as very comforting.
The employees to be dismissed are in
the accounting department, being that
division of the forces that has been ac-
customed to handle the supply ac-
counts.
The force in the office of Paymas-
ter Dewell of the Atlantic Coast Line
will be cut in half on Aug. l, at which
time the services of those who have
received notice will terminate. There
are about ten employees under the
paymaster and the assistant treasurer,
but there will be only about five when
the notice given has expired

INDIANS TRICKY IN BUSINESS.
Wisconsin Reds Tnmper with Gin
seng Root to Increase Rate.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Green Bay, Wis, June 2S.-Indians
on the reservation near here are fast
developing traits that belle their sup
posed simplicity in business transac-
tions. For many years the chief
source of their revenue has been in
selling ginseng to Milwaukee and ST.
Louis dealers Only the dried root has
a commercial value, however, and,
though the, price is S. a pound, they
could not make enough to satisfy
them, and at last hit upon a novel
scheme whereby their gains might be
increased at the expense of the deal
ers. When fresh dug the ginseng
roots are large and juicy, and it was
an easy matter to scoop out the CEN
trail part and fill it with a substance
having more specific gravity than gin
seng. Generally they used shot, but
gravel, bits of iron, and even glass
have been discovered by the wholesale
men at Milwaukee, with the result
that they have ceased buying from the
Indians.
