THE JUDGE SETTLED IT.
TOSkalOoSa Herald

Judge Dewey, who was in the city a
few days ago, settled case in man
ner somewhat unusual to the practice
and much to the amusement of num-
Der of witnesses who were in the room
at the time. 1t appears that a colored
man whose name need not be men,
toned had falling out with a daugh-
ter. He claimed that the daughter was
bad and would not mind him. He want
ed the girl sent to the reform school for
her general disobedience. Now the
court had taken pains to have the case
Investigated to the extent that 1t was
found to have almost nothing in it.
The attorneys. knowing the senti-
ments of the court and being aware OF
the merits of the case, put the old fell
low off as the court had done Finally
one day, learning that the court was in
the city, the old colored fellow sought
out the presence of the judge and ap-
pealed to him in person.
Say, jedge, what you goin' do about
sendin that gal o. mine to the refo'm
school?''
WELL" returned the judge. some
what sharply. II suppose that I must
do something in this matter. I guess
I'll have to send some one. I'll send
her or you. don't know which I'M
til look into the matter. I guess per-
haps you ought to go"
An expression of alarm suddenly
came over the face of the old colored
man. He stood facing the Judge in
embarrassment and uncertainty for an
instant, nervously clutching his hat
held in one hand. Judge Dewey was
followed up his remark by a, look that
seemed to paralyze the colored man.
The darkey gasped once or twice for
breath and then bolted out of the door
in his effort to clear himself of the
threatened danger. Neither court nor
attorneys have heard or seen the old
fellow since the incident and the mat
ter base evidently been dropped.

United States Output I'm 1901 Was .63G
Per Cent Less Than in 1900.

Washington. Aug. 25.-Geurge z. Rob-
erts, Director of the Mint, has issued his
final estimate of the production Of gold and
silver in the United States during the cal
endar year 1851. Mr.. Roberts's statement
shows that during the year the United
States produced 5.S05,5D0 ounces of gold.
valued at S7S, ,666. 100. d decrease of S50i.SOO
or $50 per cent, as compared with lhe
yieid OF 1863.
Ten of the nineteen States and Territories
yielding gold showed an increased produc-
tion-California leading with Sl0Io.2 200. an
increase due entirely to the normal devel-
opment of the mining industry.
Nevada showed the material gain of SS5I,-
&C., which came largely from the newly dis
covered camp of TOnapah in Nye County,
although nearly every county in the state
increased its production. South Dakota
also made u gain of $SU1.900: Ihaho. Sli4.6Oo.
and Oregon. $12S, 400.
The greatest decrease, amounting to &l,-
2S5.SC0. was in Alaska. This was due TO the
lateness of the season which delayed the
opening of the placers and litigation. which
interfered with the development of the in
dustry.
Colorado diminished sl.13590O. a fact ex-
planned by the decline of the grade of ores
extracted. the tonnage having increased.
The silver yield for 1891 amounted to 55.-
pa 600 ounces. of the commercial value of
S33 lbs. 400. which was 2 200 ounces. or .
per cent less than 1t was in 1910.
The greatest gain. 493 200 ounces. was in
Utah, almost all of which came from the
Park City district.

LLITERACY IN LARGE CITIES.
Census Report Shows II to lie Less
Than Half as PrevnIent as EIseNhcre

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The Census Office
to-day issued a preliminary report on Hit
eracy among men Of voting age in city and
country districts in tie census year 1900.
The report includes under the term Hitter
ate those who can neither read nor write,
and also a small number who can read but
cannot write.
In the United States ds whole, excluding
Alaska and Hawaii, the male population at
least q years of age and living in cities hav-
ing 1T least 5000 Inhabitants, was 5.SS5, GA,
of whom 223, or per cent, were report
ed as illiterate. In the rest Of the country
the number of men of voting age was l5.-
2iS. .655, of whom ,9i9, ,247, or 13 per cent were
reported as illiterate.
These figures indicate that illiteracy
among adult ma.es is less than half as prev
alent in the large cities as it is in the rest
of the United States. The difference, the re-
port says. is due largely 10 the fact that the
urban population of the country is massed
in the Northern and Western States and
illiteracy is less frequent there than in 9TH
er parts of the country.
