AUTHORS BLUNOERS.
Some Mistakes In Which the Moon,
Sun and Wind Figure.

The moon proves 4 terrible pitfall to
most writer's. Wilkie Collins once per-
formed the marvellous feat of making
it rise in the west. Rider Haggard. in
liking Solomon's Mines, relies for The
effective rendering of one of his lost
thrilling scenes upon an eclipse Of the
new moon.
Coleridge placed Il star between the
horns of the crescent moon, forg tting
that to be visible in such position the
star would have to be betwetl the
earth and the moon or. say 10000
miles away only
Next to the moon perhaps tie sun is
responsible for lore glazing errors

UNCLE SANS FREAK MONEY
Bills mat Are Twenty Dollars on
One Side and Ten on the Reverse,


One Side and Ten ON the Reverse.
Scattered throughout the country are
few pieces of paper money that are
known as freak bills by the officials
of the treasury department. One of
them turned up in this city not long
ago-it had the imprint of Il twenty
dollar note on one side and Il ten on
the other AS the face showed the
twenty, that was its legal value
The deputy assistant treasurer of
the Cuited States. who is stationed in
the New York Subtreasury, was speak
ing of these freaks the other day and
said he had only seen one of them in
his life. although he had heard of sew
cral Very rarely they have slipped
through the bureau of engraving and
printing despite Il careful scrutiny by
three or -four sets of inspectors In
most cases they have been national
haninotcS. which, like regular treasury
notes. are printed Mt the bureau in
WASHINGTON The face value always
is recognized when the freaks come to
be caShcd in nj any branch of the
treasury, and the imprint on the back
has no lawful status whatever.
The notes are printed in sheets at
the bureau said the official. Usual
ly there will be one twenty and two
tens on sheet. They are printed one
side at time. 50 it can be seen that
the printer in turning over the sheet
might get it upside down and thus put
a ten dollar back on the twenty dollar
note, or twenty on the back of one of
the tens"
In the bureau are women who are
supposed to examine all the bills care
fully, but occasionally they neglect
to look at both sides as scrutinizingly
as they should and so the money goes
out into circulation. When errors are
discovered. the miSnrinted sheet is laid

aside to be destroyed. 1t cannot be
torn up at once, for every sheet has to
be accounted for. After good deal
of red tape, it is ground up into pulp.
Most of the freak bills which have
been issued in the past have found
their way back to the treasury, there
to be destroyed. 1t is thought that less
than a dozen are now scattered about,
most of them in the hands of curio
hunters. The official said that no eff
fort to collect them had been made by
the government and that the treasury
department did not consider the circu-
latiOn of the few notes 4 matter of
any consequence. inasmuch as there
was no doubt about the values as in
dicated on the face.-New York Times.

announcement Made by China and
Confirmed by Russia-A Victory
for Hay.

Washington, July 16.-China has
notified the state department that it
intends to open several ports in Man.
churia to the commerce of the world.
Russia officially confirms the action
and says the ear has no objections.
The state department considers tha
opening Of the ports as a mOmentouS
concession to the principles for which
America has cOntended from the start.
Minister TakahiTa of Japan called at
the department this morning but
brought no news. 1t is apparent that
he was not given the information.
The declaration of China aCcOmpan~
led by its formal acceptance of Rus
sia, means an additional victory for
Secretary Hays diplomacy in China
and will undoubtedly bind that cOun-
try to America more firmly than ever.
Russia's acquiesCence also means that
40 acrimOny exists at st. Petersburg
over the kishineff petition and it Is
probable that some arrangement has
already been reached on that point,
although not officially disclosed.

blockade the route with their wagons.
Two policemen who We're left behind

THE POPE
SINKING
His Breathing Grows
More Difficult
THIRD OPERATION IS PROBABLE
His Holiness Begins to Manifest an
Ardent Desire to Live-Gibbons
Censured.
THIRD OPERATION IS PROBABLE

Rome, July 16.-The pope vlsibly.
lost ground during the night. His
breathing wasffmore difficult and he
was kept in a reclining position con-
stantly and had to be famed. To-
ward morning the increase of fluid in
his pleura became apparent and 1t
was at first decided that another
operation would be absolutely neces-
sary. AS the day advanced however,
the expediency of an operation be
came more doubtful. owing to the fear
that the pope would be unable to
stand the strain and might succumb.
Cardinal Gibbins, who is now en-
route to Rome is the subject of some
criticism among the prelates at the
vatican for starting before the pope
died His action is described as Am
erican haste. Mass in honor of Our
lady of Mount Carmel" was celebrated
at the pope's apartment this morning
by Bishop Piffer. The pOntiff seem
ed to understand but took no part in
the celebration.
