Coinage Of Subsidiary Silver Pieces Hal

Prison Inspectors Discovery.


Philadelphia, Pa.-Following cDsely
upon the exposure of gross irregulari-
ties in the cigar department of the
Eastern Penitentiary came the public
announcement that the illegal coinage
Of minor silver pieces has been carried
m by convicts in the big Institution.
George Vaux, Jr., one OF the prison in
spectors, summoned newspaper men
to his home and voluntarily made this
statement:
DR.. ". D.. Robinson and George
vaux, Jr., who are at present the, Wis
Iting inspectors on duty at the Eastern
State P~enitentiary, made the state
ment that it has come to their official
knowledge that within a short time an
attempt has been made by certain
convicts now confined in the peniten-
tiary to manufacture counterfeit silver
coins.n
But a few pieces were made, and
a number Of these have come into the
possession of the inspectors. together
with metals and dies used, the attempt
thus being nipped in the bud. The evil
dence in the case is not vet completes
but all that has been secured has been
submitted to the United States author
itieS."
Mr.. Vaux refused absolutely to give
any more details. From other sources.
however, it was learned that dimes.
quarters and half dollars were the
coins manufactured. United States
Secret Service detectives were at once
called in. Their investigation is still
In progress to learn whether there was
collision between the conyicts and
employees Of the institution.

The Weight of Ice.

In order that consumers may deter
mine whether or not they are receiv-
ing the correct weight of ice a very
good method to employ, next to weigh
ing the ice itself, is to measure it very
carefully with reference to its length
breadth and thickness, and then com.
pute the weight by the following
method: We know in the first place
that one cubic foot Of water weighs
62.5 pounds, under ordinary condi-
lions. and that the weight of any vol
ume of ice is just ninety-two one-hun-
dredths as much as the weight of the
same volume of water. Therefore, one
cubic foot of ice weighs ninety-two
one-hundredths as much as the same
volume of water. This equals 90 times
62.5, or SIS pounds. Hence to deter
mine the weight of the ice take the
product of the three dimensions, divide
by 1928 (since there r 1928 cubic
inches in a cubic FOOT and multiply
by SIS. The result will be the weight
of ice in pounds.-New York World.

DEATHS IN FLORIDA STORM.
Nine of Wrecked Steamship Inchulva'
Crew Drowned.

Nine of Wrecked Steamship ~Inchulva's
Crew Drowned.
Jacksonville, Fla.-The wires being
down south of Palm Beach and Tampa
some details Of the hurricane have
come by mail and by passengers on in
coming trains.
The steamship Inchulva, of Liver
pool, owned by the Inch Shipping Com
pany, of Galveston, loaded with lum-
Der and cottonseed meal and bound
for Hampton Roads for coal, went
ashore near Boynton. The ships steer
ing gear broke and she struck the
Deach with great force, breaking into
three pieces. The captain and mates
and fourteen of the crew were saved.
Nine men were drowned, among them
the engineer.
At Palm Beach the damage was Sc
rious. Gruber's Opera House was par
tally unroofed, as well as his business
block on Narcissus street and his ware
house. The Seminole block suffered
heavily, and the Palms block to a
smaller extent. Two lives were lost in
Tampa through the storm.
The spire of the Buelah Baptist
Church (colored) was torn from the
building and carried across the street.
The property loss at Tampa will
reach at least $4,000, probably more.
1t is estimated that half the orange
crop has been cut off around Tampa
ana one-fourth on the East Coast.

Did Thoreau Care For nature?

II question whether Thoreau really
cared for nature" writes Jeanette
Barbour Perry in The Critic. He cared
for "chipmunks, and pine-needles, and
the honk of geese, and alder bushes"
the writer admits; "but for nature, who
holds the chipmunks and p~ine-needles
and alders in her lap, he seems to have
cared little-as little as for human
beings, those cumberers of the ground"
We read further: "He presents the
spectacle Of the most extraordinary
student of nature civilization has
known, going through life Indifferent
to- the charm Of nature. He walked
the woods an aggregation of sight,
hearing, taste, touch, smell-blind in
his spirit. deaf to the harmony about
him."

Charming Japanese Children.

Nowhere are children more consid-
cred than in Japan. Their parents are
devoted to them, and are constantly
with them, carrying them about,
watching and joining in their games,
and apparently never sc happy as when
with them. Other peoples children
also come in for a large share of at
t%ention, and fathers seem to have as
much pride in their offspring al moth
ers.
1t is amusing on a fine morning,
about six o'clock, to see half a dozen
men sitting on a low wall, each with
one or two little children whom he
plays with and pets. The little folks
are led to show off their cleverness.
and, judging from appearances, they
form the main interest of their fond
elders.
One would imagine that with so
much petting children must be spoilt
and ~disagreeable. The contrary is the
case, the children of Japan being the
most w~ell-behaved and charming little
people in the world.-Philadelphia

BALF0UR0NF|SCAL REFORM
The Premier's Plea For a Change
in the British Policy.
WILL NOT DISSOLVE

Publication OF q Pamphlet on the Subject
of "Insular Free Trade' Said to Mean
That Balfour and Chamberlain viii
Work Together For the Proposed Fis-
cal Changes-views Of the Premier.
London.-Premier Balfour hasissued
the advance sheets of a pamphlet on
the subject Of "Insular Free Trade"
in which he presents at length argu.
ments in favor of a change in Great
Britain's fiscal policy. In introducing
the pamphlet Mr.. Balfour says his pur-
pose in issuing it is that it would be
impossible to put all the important
points of this question within the linn
its of a single speech.
The Premier points out that as a re-
suit Of England's policy of retaining a
fiscal policy made for u free trade coun-
try in a world of free traders, net for a
free trade country in a world of pro-
tectionists, the rate of her export trade
has not increased, and in fact has serl-
ously diminished. Compared with past
years some departments show no in
crease, while others show symptoms OF
decay.
The Premier asserts that there is
no reason to expect an improvement.
Meanwhile Germany, America, France,
Russia and even Great Britain's self
| governing colonies continue to build up
a protective interest within their bor-
ders.
Mr.. Balfour says the mistakes made
by the free traders half a century ago
have left Great Britain bearing all the
burdens and enjoying only half the
advantages which should attach to the
Empire. He devotes considerable
space to the effect of protection upon
combinations in countries in which pro-
lection exists.
This, the Premier points out, is to
the disadvantage of the British manu-
facturer, who is unable to compete
with the manufacturer who is able to
sell abroad at a lower price than he
charges for the same article at home.
He gives an instance of German steel
in this particular, saying that it is sell
ing cheaper in England than the Eng
lish manufacturer can possibly pro-
duce 1t.
Mr.. Balfour declares that the 0pti-
mists who advocate a continuance OF
the free trade policy in place Of the in
jury worked by protection on Great
Britain's interests are foolish and their
arguments little short of reckless. He
concludes:
1T cannot be right for a country with
free trade ideals to enter into competi-
ton with protectionist rivals self-de-
prived Of the only instrument whereby
their policy can conceivably be modi-
fed. The most essential object of our
national efforts should be to get rid of
the bonds in which we have gratuitous-
~ %entangled ourselves. The precise
manner i'll which we should use bur re-
gained liberty is important, yet after
all, only a secondary issue"
The publication Of the pamphlet af-
ter the Cabinet had failed to agree on
the proposed fiscal policy is taken to
e that the Government will stand,
that the Colonial Secretary will not re-
sign, and that the Premier will retain
the leadership of the modified tariff
cause, for which the way may be
opened BY the appointment of a royal
commission.

LOTS OF DEER THIS FALL.
They Wintered Well in Maine and Have
Thriyed Since.

Ihey Wtntered Well in Maine and Have
Thriyed Since.
Bangor, Memo frosts have fallen as
yet to kill of the swarms of gnats in
the woods. but the cool evenings of the
last few weeks have diminished the
energy of the insects, and the deer
which have haunted the waterways
during the summer are beginning to
ON out into the clearings to nibble
Mt the second crop of clover. Reports
from all parts of Eastern Maine are to
the effect that deer have been seer in
cairs and In herds, often showing them
selves in places where no deer have
come for years.
A great majority Of the deer, how.
ever, are yet in the deep woods, along
the streams and by the lakes, and those
that have been seer are no more than
a Quaster of the number actually ex.
listing. It is plain from all accounts
that there are more deer in Maine at
this time than a year ago. Lumber.
men say that the animals wintered
well, and came into the spring in good
condition. The dry weather from April
l to June 1 helped the fawns to gain
strength, and later on the feed became
excellent. Accordingly the prospect
for good hunting this fall is very good.

sas Commission to the Worlds Fair,

nal. He has sent to the mayors of all
Kansas towns a request for the pho
tographs of all women "whose beauty,
intelligence or other distinguishing
feature entitle their pictures to a place
in ar album of representative Kansan
women" An album of this sort would
nave to be as big as the Manufacture
ers' Building. The Mayor who didn't
send in the likenesses of the entire
female population would be one not
up TO his job. And the secretary who
could prefer such a request is worth
