.RECOINAGE FOR HAWAII
SILVER DOLLARS WILL BECOME
SUBSIDIARY COIN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-The bill for
the re-coinage of the silver coinage of
Hawaii, introduced by Representative
hill of Connecticut was today favorably
acted upon by house committee on coin
age, weights and measures. Some oppo-
sition was developed the Democratic
members urging that the silver dollars
should not lose their identity as such by
being re-coined into subsidiary coinage.
The vote on the bill was el~ht to three,
the Democrats voting in the negative.
The bill as reported, provides that all
of the silver coins of Hawaii shall be
received at par in payment of govern
ment dues to Hawaii or to the United
States. After being received. the coins
shaH not again be put in circulation, but
shall be sent to San Francisco to be re-
coined into subsidiary silver. There is
about $S75,0O0 of silver circulating in Ha-
Waii, most of it in silver dollars.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Congressman
Loren Fletcher was one of two to vote
against the Nicaragua canal bill in the
house. A little while before the vote
was taken he was lunching in the capital
restaurant and chatting with Represent

Ger, of Buffalo.
Five or six years from now said Mr..
Fletcher impressively, ''or it may be later,

HOWARD ON FHE STAND
TESTIMONY DIRECTED TO PROVE
AN ALIBI.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 16.-Jim How
ard, on trial as an accessory to the kill
ing of William Goebel, took the stand in
his own defense this afternoon. Howard's
defense is an attempt to prove an aiibi.
He swore that he was in the Board of
Trade hotel when Goebel was shot. He
said he went to the state house for the
first time that afternoon. He saws he
was clean shaven and his LAWYERS pro-
duced a photograph which showed the
prisoner to be smooth shaven. Another
photograph produced by Howard also
showed him to be smooth shayen. It was
taken in a group with his wife and chill
dren and the commonwealth objected to
its exhibition to the Jury. The court sus-
tanned the objection and the faces OF
Howard's wife and children We're covered

The cross examination had not been
completed when court adjourned this aft

FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
washington, ID. c.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The interior
department has issued an order that
Indian agents must see that their charges
cut their hair, wear United States clothes
and stop painting their faces. This order
is to be enforced by the use of tact, per-
suasion, firmness, withdrawal of supp.es
and judicious application of the guard
house. The circular from the talented
pen Of the secretary of the interior says:
Wearing of long hair by the male pop
ulation of your agency is not in keeping
with the advancement they are making
or will soon be expected to make in civ
ilization. Wearing of short hair by the
males will be a great step in advance and
will certainly hasten their progress to-
ward civilization. 1t is urged by the sec
retary that the use of paints leads to
many cases of blinuness, the paint melting
and running into the eyes. Dances are
said to be but covers for immoral prac-
uces Corrective measures are recon-
mended, particularly for the younger In
dams.

PEACE RUMORS FLYING
STORIES NUMEROUS, BUT RATHER
DOUBTFUL.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-Nothing definite can
be ascertained with regard to the alleged
peace movement.
The Vienna papers declare that the
government Of the Netherlands has en-
tered into confidential negotiations With
the Boer leaders with the view of bring
ing the war to an end.
Dispatches from Brussels assert that
DR.. Leyds, the European representative
of the Transvaal, still opposes any nego-
tiatiors, but that other Boer leaders
have been comforting among themselves
and with DR.. Kuyper, the Dutch premier,
with a view of arranging negotiations.
None of these stories has very solid
basis.
In the budget committee of the Dutch
chamber yesterday several members COM
planned that the government had taken
no steps to intervene in South Africa.

The managing editor is the one who has
the responsible charge of the making up
of the paper and getting it to press on time,
and everything pertaining to it and its
news force. He employs all the reporters
and messengers, and is responsible to the

bly, a man must have executive ability and
understand the handling of men. :
The news editor of The Star is practically
the assistant Of the managing editor and
has supervision Of all the news that goes
in the paper. AS relates to The Star, he
theoretically supervises the Geographic de-
partment congressional and local news, and
if there is any lack of attention given to
certain subjects he is the one to bear the
blame. He is the first on duty in the

of women, and SEINE of them have become
quite widely known through their abilities
as writers upon social topics and society
people The society woman, so called has
become a feature in all metropolitan news
papers, and if she is the proper person, she
becomes associated with the best people in
official and Social circles and does her work
without any derogation to her womanly
dignity and refinement
Another feature which has changed great
ly in regard to newspaper work is the at
tention now paid ito dramatic and musical
scribed the most important dramatic or
musical event, because it was considered
that every line published just that much
advertisement to the company and to the
theater. Now dramatic and musical crit
icism is a part of the news of paper and
the writer upon these subjects must be a
man skilled in the literature of the drama
and music and competent to give an intelli-
gent review Of the performance of the pre-
ceding night. In fact, dramatic and must
cal criticism has become distinct speciality
of newspaper work, and in many cities ex-
perienced critics receive large salaries.
Another speciality in the matter Of re-
porting which has grown up since the birth
Of The Star is that which is generally
termed as sports. Athletic games have de-
veloped and must be taken care of by the
sporting men of a newspaper. These In

ment. Now it requires the entire time of a
man at the District building, another at the
city hall, another at the Police Court and
still another at the police headquarters. The
interest in financial affairs and real estate
matters has become so great that it re-
quires one man to devote his time to that
work
There is a class of work that when The
Star was founded was entirely unknown,
and it has now developed into a field that
is speciality, and it affords women
chance to make newspaper connections, for
they are the ones most fitted to do what is
known as society work. When social hap
penings first begun to be chroncled in the
public prints, it was called jenkiniZing, and
young men about town were sent to do the
work, often being compelled to make many
attempts before they succeeded in getting
the item they were after. Sometimes a
young reporter on a newspaper would be de-
tailed to do this sort of work. but they al
ways tried to avoid it If possible, because
it was hardly a recognized part of a re-
porter'S duty, although when a reporter is
given an assignment, no matter how diff
cult the task may be, 1t is his duty to use
his best efforts to accomplish the work. I
remember young man who had just begun
newspaper work, and he was very anxious
to take all the assignments for dinners.

pretty well acquainted in society at
that time. These assignments were given
him, and he made very good record as a
society reporter. even to the descriptions of
the ladies' attire, and the rest Of US on the
paper used to wonder how he did it, because
the average man knows no more about
technical dressmaker's terms than he does
about Choctaw, but we discovered that he
used to take his elder sister into his conf
dence and that she was the responsible
party for the minute and accurate descrip-
ton Of ladies' dresses which he would turn
in after reception or a dance. This work
however, gradually drifted into the hands

One Mode of Fighting Lockjaw.

From the New York Tribune
Only partial success has attended the
use of the antitoxin for treating locxjaw.
Where there Is reason to anticipate an at
tack this serum can be used advantageous
ly as a preventive. But its curative value
after the disease manifes,s ITSELF Is not
uniform. Sometimes it does good and some
times 1t seems to be without effect. On the
whole, while reluctant to abandon it al
together, experts recognize the fact that
this particular antitoxin does not work as
well as could be desired.
Attention has accordingly been directed
by the medical press of late to a system of
dealing with tetanus suggested by Prof
Baccelli of Rome. He resorts to injections
of carbolic acid, which is one of the most
powerful antiseptic agents known. The
idea of introducing germicides into the blood
to fight various bacterial diseases-tuber-
culosis, for instances an old one. Car
bolic acid has been a favorite resource in
such experiments also. However, it's ap-
plication TO tetanus Is comparatively new.
Though the scheme was proposed several
years ago, the profession has given the
preference to the serum treatment. Now,
however, the Baccelli method is coming to
the front again. Italian surgeons are en-
thusiastic over its effects. Prof. Babes,
Bucharest, who may possibly be less preju-
diced than Baccellps fellow countrymen,
recommends its use when serum is not OBJ
tainable.

there are in addition to the editorial de-
partment proper, managing editor, a city
editor, who has an assistant; news editor,
who has an assistant, and a Geographic
editor. All these gentlemen find their time
entirely occupied from their entrance into
their Office in the morning until the paper
is issued each day. The men who edit the
copy are compelled to have good dscrimina-
ton as to news, to be thoroughly competent
grammarians, so that if there is any fault
in the English of the copy they can read
lily rectify it, and also to be able to write
the different head lines according to the
style of the paper. They must work rapid
ly, too, for there is no idle time on an after
noon paper, and their judgment of the
value of a piece of news and the space it
should occupy must be quick and accu-
rate.
There is another class of work which in
the old days occupied very little time and
simply used as adjunct to other and
what was then considered much more i'm
portant work, and that is the examination
and clipping from the exchanges which
daily come in the Office of a newspaper The
exchange editor is now one of the most
important persons of the editorial force
He must carefully go through some 300
or 400 papers daily, clip from them such
articles as are needed for editorial COM
ment, such as furnish suggestions for news
stories, and be always ready with a large
supply Of well-selected miscellany, to be
