the item the total of the same num-
Der of shillings and pence brings one
total in American money and the sue
ceeding item, though valued at the
same number of shilling and pence,
makes a different total in American

This is of interest in showing chat
at that date there were two English
shillings of different value. The entry
of the cost in the money of both coun-
tries also shows that, at such an
early day after the establishment of
the United States, the English money
was still generally used. There is
also a slight hint of lack of confidence
in the money of the new republic.

The Ted Z. Faust Minstrels we're the
attraction at the Temple opera house
last night, and it has been long time
since Palestine has seen as good a
minstrel show. The company is not
the largest ever seen here, but every
member of the company is an artist,
and the whole show moves with a
snap. The comedians are clever, the
singers good, and the specially fea-
lures high-class and clean.
The show concluded with a big
acrobatic turn by the famous Faust
family, which excels anything IN tina,
line ever seen in this city.
The show is winner.

Faust company, and it goes without
saying that this feature of the Faust
visit was an enjoyable one to both the
visitors and the home people.
MIR. Hyman Pearlstone, as master of
ceremonies, arranged an impromptu
program, which was carried out with
much pleasure and good telling.
The Faust orchestra rendered some
Of their best selections, and between
cigars and sandwiches the home boys
and the Fausts exchanged good stories.
And between times some good songs
were rendered.
Following the program fluctuations
were exchanged, the minstrel boys
declaring it was pleasure to be en-
tertained in so gracious way and the
Elks declaring II was pleasure to be
able to do the agreeable thing.
Messrs. Jas. Copeland, Frank Frink
and Miller for the home people made
nice talks to the occasion.
