WORLDS OLDEST COIN.
Chicago Man Has shekei Of Sol.
ONIONS Time.

What IL said to he the oldest coin
In the world is a shekel now In the
possession OF Mr.. Herman Gottschalk
of Chicago, who Is visiting In Rich.
mond. Va.
This coin was used In the temple at
Jerusalem in the days OF King Solo
mon. at n token. II is the only per-
feet one In existence. The characters
inscribed thereon are as follows: On
the first side reading from the right
to the left Is Shekel Hakadoush. sig.
nifying holy shekel. Emblazoned In
the center OF the star Mogin Dovid-'
or the shield Of Davld-in modern
times called the star OF Bethlehem.
On the other side also reading from
right to left is Jerusholajim. signifying
Jerusalem.
The strangest thing In connection
with the coin is that. while the body
is OF bronze gold alloy about seventy
per cent fine, the raised figures are
pure gold The assay OF the coin was
taken by Tiffany OF New York. and
even tnt titNti BoiushithS th'it WNfu
unable to tell how the union OF the
letters and coin was affected.
The history OF how II came into Mr..
Gottschalk's possession is interesting.
From 1878 to 1882 he was interested
in collecting money for the relief OF
the Jews prosecuted in Poumania. His
success was large, and while on the
trip to Europe &c deliver the funds
he met DR.. Leopold Klein, chief rabbi
of Berlin. II was In reward for his en-
thusiastic services in behalf OF the
Roumanian Jews that Mr.. Rabbi Klein
bequeathed to Mr.. Gottschalk several
cherished heirlooms-the gold holy
shekel and Bible among others.
On the Bible, which is a rare illumi
mated copy of the Old Testament. In
Hebrew, are imprints OF the hol,
shekel.

VOLCANO IN SIERRA MADRES.
Ei Psso Citizens Discover a Smolder
ing Crater Known to Natives.

A special telegram from I'll Paso.
dated May "a. says:
Alderman George Loog and three
other well known citizens have just
returned from Casas Grande. In the
heart of the Sierra Madrc mountains.
and relate the discovery of a smolder.
ing volcano hitherto unknown except
by a few natives.
Huge volumes OF smoke and vapor
are constantly issuing from the top Of
the rugged mountain. Ascending the
mountain they found the peculiar
smoke q volatile substance mixed with
dust and vapor. The sides OF the
crater are moist and sweaty. A green
shrub growing just above the opening
on one side OF the creyice Is evidence
that the eruption is OF recent origin.
When the party returned to the
banks OF the river the smoke was still
visible and the party was at loss to
understand why they had not seen II
before. A resurvey OF the situation
showed that .he mountain from which
the smoke came from was half hidden
by another mountain at which they
had all the time been looking when
trying to verify the report OF Mexican
boys.
Before reaching the top the smoke
became visible and peculiar smell
discernible. Receding In the direction
OF the smoke west OF the summit they
came upon a great crack In the rock
FIVE feet wide and twenty feet long
slantlng into the mountain. from which
smoke was pouring In a steady and
heavy volume with the odoi and
, breath-taking effect OF hartshorn. None
OF the party could stand near enough
to the aperture to look into 1t.
At the foot of the mountain and a.
one side Of the Casas Grande rive
are several hot springs showing the In
terror OF the mountain Is In a highl,
heated state. The point where thu
strange discovery was made Is twelve
miles south of Casas Grande and abou
Ave miles from the end OF tn Sierri
Madre railroad in a chain OF noun
tains.

NO MORE MONEY SPENT.
Policy Of Railroads In Regard to Cost
Of Labor.

CT I8Oof.
A New York dispatch says: Presi.
dent w. II. Truesdale. of the Lacka-
wana, discussed the effect OF the high
price OF labor and material on the rail-
road situation.
1T Is evident {, all that the present
prices are having an adverse effect on
railroad improvements, said he.
Speaking OF our own road ! may say
that we are not spending a cent less
than usual, but we are not getting SO
much done for our money. Practically
all our improvements are paid for out
Of current earnings.
II do not see any immediate pros.
pect OF reduction In prices. but the
salvation of railroads will be In the
continued large gains In gross earn.
ings due to tremendous commercial
activity. Il would be diflicult for com.
panies to meet heavy operating ex'
penses by increasing freight rates. "a
every attempt to do so 10 met with
great opposition. Again. an increase
In rates means reduction In business
so that any effort In that direction
would work In q circle.
Present prices Of labor and mater
ial operate against the business OF
railroads and consequently have a de
pressing effect on the price Of securi
ties but the question is not going tc
worry officials to any extent as long al
gross earnings keep up their present
proportions"
