TIE SILVER DOLLAR.

Pressed Out of Cold MetGl, Ii Is Eard
TO Counterfeit.
A bank cashier of long experience
stated recently that fully a half of the
silver dollars in everyday circulation
were counterfeit. He declared that as
there was only a little more than 30
cents worth of silver in a dollar COM
terfeiters were making them of the eX-
act purity and Gneness Of dollars
coined 10y the government. The bank
clerk said that the makers were clear
ing about p cents upon each dollar
made. This story went The rounds OF
the newspapers and was believed by
most people.
Thomas L. McManus, a government
secret service operator, Whose business
it is 10 know an about coun,eri III
money, said:
Il read that statement when it was
printed. 1t was too ridiculous for So
rious attention by experts. but g. 1t

make a good profit on it if he could

! it is not done more than it is.
"The reason is very simple. All gov

of cold metal. This gives the coin a
clearness and sharpness of line that
could never be approached in a coin
made of molten metal run in a mold

what We Pay For our Lives.


An authority on life insurance mat
ters has been gathering some striking
statistics on the subject of insurance
policies and payments. In 1888 cities
and towns in the United States during
the year 1902 the total distribution TO
policy holders and their beneticiaries
exceeded S32O,OOO,00O. In the distribu-
ton of this sum among the larger cities
New York holds first place, $22,045,4I5
of the total sum having been distrib-
uted there in 1902. Philadelphia fol
lows the metropolis with a record OF
receipts aggregating $S,926,O9S. Chi
cago holds third place with record OF
SG.922, ,457. In each case these figures
show an advance over those of the pre-
ceding year, which fact has led our
authority into making some interesting
prophecies. At the rate of distribution
recorded for the past year 1t is estimat-
cd that the life insurance companies OF
New York exclusive of BROOKLYN are
pledged to pay something like S4G0'-
100000 to the citizens Of Manhattan
within the next twenty years, while
Philadelphia will receive $1SO.OOO'OCO,
Chicago $14O.OO0.0OO, Brooklyn $14O,-

crate means marry than was the case
a few years ago. The failure to wed
among the young girls of today is due
largely to the rapidly increasing num-
Der of young women who have ac-
quired business college education and
are, therefore, fully equipped to enter
the lists of the commercial world and
earn a comfortable livelihood.
No longer compelled to endure a life
of enforced idleness, often without a
fixed income, while waiting for an elig-
ible young man to turn up with a pro-
posal of marriage, the average young
woman of the industrial classes now
has substantial position to occupy her
time and to enable her to be independ-
ent.
"The young woman of today says
prominent st. Paul pastor, ''who
formerly had little or no income, is no
longer dependent upon the love of some
young man she may be fortunate
enough to win. There was time when
girl of the working classes was
threatened with poverty and was con-
fronted with grave perils until she
married, and often she would give her.
self to the first eligible man who chanc-
ed to come her way.
'NoW she is we'll equipped with a
business education and is independent.
She is able to support herself, and there
is nothing to force her into matrimony."

Friendly Policeman Helps.
But the young lady" hurries home
by herself that night and meets a
friendly policeman, who passes her
along to the next imam on the beat"
who also passes her on and she finally
gets home safely. The friendly police
man apparently agreed with the re-
porter that girl has no business to
do work that kept her out late at night
for one night he asked her to be Mrs.
Policeman" thinking this happy So
luton of difficult problem. Instead
of accepting the polfceman'S gallant
offer, she goes to Peru as the private
secretary to a Wisconsin newspaper
man who had been appointed minister

revisited the scene of her early strug-
giles, the autobiography makes no
mention of it.
She remains in Peru about a year
and then takes position on South
ern paper. From there she goes to
London, where her experiences are
numerous and exciting. Once she finds
herself very hungry with no money to
provide food, so she goes out to serv-
ice as parlor maid and writes an ac-
count of her experience for the Lon
don paper. She sells flowers on a street
crossing and receives a good-sized
check for writing up that experience.

are more exciting experiences. The
autobiography closes with a pen pic

don fiat, facing the beginnings of sue

LATEST PHASE OF THE

Courts Must Settle the Question, it is

MANILA, Jan. 3.-Solicitor General
Araneta sustains Gov. Taft's conten-
ton that he is not in a position to in
terVene regarding the possession of
Roman Catholic property seized by in
dependent Catholics, and that the
courts must settle the question.
The adherents of the Independent
church have seized several churches
and converts and in some instances
native parish priests have seeded, con-
tfnuing in possession of the churches,
and have defied the new pastors ap-
pointed by the Roman Catholic author
tiles. Archbishop Guidi, the papaI DEL
egate, has formally requested Gov. Taft
to dispOssess the Independent Catholics
and restore the Roman Catholics, and
to use the constabulary in so doing if
necessary. But the governor has de-
clined to do SO, holding that such ac-
ton is beyond the powers of the ex-
ecutive. He also advised an appeal
to the courts and cabled the facts to
Secretary Root, who sustained him.
Attorney General Whitley concurs in
Solicitor General Areneta's opinion,
which Gov. Taft will forward to Arch
bishop Guidi. 1t is expected that the
latter will institute proceedings to GUST
the Independent Catholics, who claim
that much of the church property be-
longs to the people.

ONE WHALE THAT WAS 5--
WORTH A LARGE FORTUNE
Carried a Chunk of AmbergrIs That
Brought Nearly 100000.


Brought Nearly 100000.
More than 500, 900 is what Capt. James
Earle, a New Bedford whaler, now visit
ing in Honolulu realized in 1883 from one
sperm whale. In fact, the whale was
one Of the most valuable ever caught in
any ocean. 1t was not the ninety barrels
Of oil which gave the leviathian its ex-
something like $4,000, but within the
whales vast interior there was found a
solid pieca of ambergris weighing 7S0
pounds. This was the largest single piece
of ambergris ever found, according to
the records, and that it came from one
lone whale made the rich discovery the
more interesting to the scientific world
This 7S0-pound piece of ambergris was
sold in chunks in all markets Of the
world for about 100000, and it laid the
foundation for wealth for almost every
man interested in the whaling expedition,
which originated in New Zealand.
Capt Earle came here in 1867 on the
whaling ship Europe as cabin boy his
father then being first mate. He later
went to New Zealand to join the whaler
Splendid, which he fitted out, obtaining
thereby bounty Of $4,000 offered by
whaler fitted out for service. He went
as second mate and rose by promotion
until he became master and part owner.
1t was in October, 1882, that the Splendid,
while cruising about the Chatham islands
east of New Zealand, came upon the
sperm whale which was the biggest bon
ANA OF the sea Oh RECORD. Ninety DdFTelS
of oil were taken from it, and while delv-
ing into the carcass huge piece of am
bergriS was found
Ambergis is concretion formed only in
the intestines of the sperm whale and is
sometimes found floating on the surface Of
the sea like pumice stone, near where this
animal cruises. In it are often found i'm
bedded the horny beaks of the sGuids on
which the whale feeds. 1t was formerly
used in medicine, but is now dissolved in
alcohol and used as a base in perfumes,
rendering them more lasting. 1t affords
about IS per cent of a peculiar fatty and
crystalline substance called ambrein.
The voyage of the Splendid IN that sea-
son was a fortunate one in every respect,
for she came into Littleton port. New
Zealand, with the big piece of ambergris
worth its weight in gold and 100 barrels
of sperm OIL
when we arrived in port said Capt
Earle recently, Il telegraphed to the agent
of the Otago Whaling company to come
up. He came, the ambergris was taken
ashore. loaded into a car, which was
locked and the key slowed away in the
agents pocket, and he stood guard there.
too until the stuff was safely placed. The
first year that I had brought any amber
girls into port we got e25 a pound for
