A CoTlyer-Beecher Story.

"Pew sIeepers are one of the bug
bears of preachers" said the Rev.
Robert Collyer, the veteran New York
minister. IT can speak feelingly from
experience on one occasion when
Henry Ward Beecher asked me to go
TO Plymouth Church to talk to his peo-
ple. he remarked-jokingly, let us
hope-that most of them were hard
work folk who needed plenty of rest
on Sunday, and he felt that sermon
from me might be gratefully received.
"In the course of my talk 1 men
toned this and said it was, however,
a matter upon which my feelings could
not be hurt. and that I owed this i'm
nervousness to Mr.. Beecher himself.
I told them that. one Sunday, years
before, when 1 was attending a SER
vice at old Plymouth and Mr.. Beecher
was laundering forth, 1 saw one of his
deacons asleep in a front pew.
II went on to say that always after
this. whenever 1 saw a man slumber-
ing peacefully through my most stir
ring efforts in the pulpit, would say
to myself: We'll, let him sleep; even
the great Beecher can't keep 'em all
awake.

Realism Unrehearsed.

A mock stage tragedy at Warsaw
recently took on very realistic as
pect. The piece was Tschaikowsky's
''Eugenvo Onegin," in which there is
duel in which the tenor. who on this
occasion was NJ. Lebedeff, Is shot by
Onegin, falling dead on the boards
without a cry. In fact, on the pistols
being discharged, Lebedeff fell utter
ing loud cries of pain, and on being
carried behind the scenes it was found
that he had been shot in the eye,
which was utterly destroyed. At pres
ent nothing is known as to how a bull
let got into the pistol. but a good deal
of suspicion attaches to the case

ELECTRIC CARS
ON NEW ROUTES
United Railroads Is Making
Changes Preparatory to I'M
proving the Local Service
SIG MOTORS ARRIVING
Travelling Public Will Be Af-
forded More Conveniences on
Their Trips Around the City

The announcement was made yes
terday by Manager Chapman Of the
United Railroads that beginning to-
morrow a number of changes will be
made in the present routes Of electric
car lines. On the park and ocean
line inbound cars, by way Of H
street. which now run along Frederick,
Stanyan, Page, Devisadero and Ellis
streets, will after Monday be operated
along Fillmore street, instead Of De-
visadero, and the outbound cars will
be operated by way of Ellis. Hyde.
O'FarreN. Fillmore, Oak, Stanyan.
Frederick and H streets. the change In
the routing being the substitution OF
Fillmore street for Devisadero, as In
the case Of the inbound cars.
Another change will be on the Ma
sonic-avenue line. The present route
of the inbound cars is by way of
Parnassus avenue, Stanyan. Carl. Clay
ton and Frederick streets, Masonic
avenue and Page street, thence to Fill
more and Oak streets. Outbound cars
travel via Oak street, Masonic avenue,
Frederick. Clayton. Carl and Stanyan
SlICelS anu ldSSuS dNGIluCs ~
the proposed change the cars will not
run by way of Oak and Page streets,
and the terminal of the inbound cars
will be at Oak street and Masonic ave-
nue.. instead of Oak and Fillmore
streets.
The changes are made preliminary
to the introduction Of the new and
larger cars on the main lines Of the
electric service. The majority Of these
cars have already arrived from the
East and are now being put together
in the shops of the company. The
cars are of the most modern COM
bination type. S91z feet long, and
weigh $4,000 pounds.
They differ materially from the
combination car now in use. The lat
ter have longitudinal seats on the
dummy sections, while the seats on the
new cars face to the front and are
divided by an aisle, an arrangement
made feasible by the law requiring the
adoption of air brakes on all double
truck cars. Iron railings extend along
the dummy sections thus preventing
persons from alighting while the cars
are in motion.
Another feature Of the new cars is
that they have only one exit on each
side, which regulates the getting on
and off of the cars on the right-hand
side, or side farthest from the rails Of
the car running in the opposite direc-
ton. An innovation will be an cleo
trio button, by which means passen-
gers that wish to alight will be re-
lieved of the annoyance of having to
rise and signal the conductor when
cars are crowded or the conductors
attention is being diverted. These
buttons connect with an electric bell,
the ringing of which will advise the
conductor of the desire of the passen-
ger to alight.

no BE Decided Later.

The boy, who was visiting his indul-
gent aunt, had eaten heartily Of the
preserves.
Don't you think you've had enough,
Willie?" she asked.
Don't know" he replied.
Don't know?"
''Nope Can't tell yet" he said.
"But what do you think?"
''Ain't any use thinking at all. I got
to know. Thinking don't help any If
you think wrong"
well, you're the most remarkable
boy ever knew" said his aunt. When
will you know?"
"In half an hour"
"And how will you know?"
'FWhy, that's easy" replied the wise
boy. IF amt sick in half an hour
I'll be sorry 1 didn't take more, and if
L am sick I'll be sorry took so much.
That's the only way to tell that 1
know"
His aunt admitted that it left no
room for doubt, but she tried to point
out that it was rather unsatisfactory,
to which the boy merely replied that
he wished there was a better way but
he didn't know OF any.-Brooklyn

Model Dog Pound in Paris.

Lovers Of dogs will be happy to know
that the Paris. dog pound-fourriere-
has been entirely remodeled at the ex-
pense of the Society for the Protection
of Animals and the sum expended
amounts to $4,000. There are now 200
kennels and that is sufficient to allow
a separate place for each dog until ne
is reclaimed or put to death. The dog
gies have electric light. which is real
luxury in these dark days. The ken
nels are .disinfected every time they
have been occupied and wonderment
asks whether people who work hard
day and night to feed and keep their
families ought not to be as we'll treated
as dogs.-Exchange

Coiner Dan 7. Cole said last even
ing that it was true that the local
United States Mint was to be worked
to the limit Of its capacity in making
the double eagles. He did not know
what was signified. 1t was probable,
he thought, that the other mints of the
United States may be pressed to turn
out coinage. In the past few months
the local Mint and also the Mint at
Philadelphia have been turning out
millions Of dollars worth Of pesos for
use in the Philippine Islands, Con-
gress having provided for the estab-
lishment of a uniform currency for the
islands.

NOTHING UNUSUAL.

There is nothing unusual in the or
der excepting the short time given for
the coinage Of $45,OOO,O 900 in gold. which,
as 1 have said. is the largest amount
ever coined in this. or, 1 believe, in any
country in the same period of time.
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-07
WHY TT Is WANTED.

money Is to be used, but as the mints
Of the country have been working
upon the new Philippine coinage,
which is all silver. and as the amount
ordered from the San Francisco Mint
tallies with the amount that is to be
paid to Panama and the French stock
holders Of the old Panama Canal Com
pany Mr.. Leach believes that a San
Francisco coinage is to be used for
this purpose. Work upon this hurry
up order is already under way and the
Mint is full OF activity. Mr.. Leach
said last night:
Il received an order about the 1st
OF February from Washington to coin
all the gold possible within the next
sixty days, the intention being to turn
out at least s45,OO0,OOO in that time,
which will be the largest coinage ever
accomplished by the United States
Government in the same period of
time. We shall turn out, I think,
about 100000 a day. which means
about two tons Of bullion.
THE reason for this heavy coinage
Of gold is that for the past year and a
half we have been working upon sill
yer and only coined gold at times
when the silver ran short During
the last calendar year the coinage has
been nearly all silver. allowing the
gold to accumulate until at the pres
ent time we have nearly one hundred
million dollars worth of gold bullion
stored in the vaults of the San Fran
cisco Mint. This gold has been COM
ing in since 1897, and in the last two
months we have received almost nine
million dollars in gold from Japan,
and this must also be coined as soon
as possible. Another reason for the
neglect in the coinage of gold has been
the necessity of turning out a large
amount of Philippine silver.
Il believe, however, that there are
other reasons for this order for a heavy
coinage of gold. According to the daily
papers, the Government is being
brought face to face with several large
payments. aggregating in the neigh
borhood Of $50. 900, 600. and I believe that
il is to obviate the necessity Of calling
in the deposits in the national banks
that this order has been issued. A no
tice was served upon these banks about
the same time that the order was re-
ceived by the San Francisco Mint to
prepare to meet a demand for twenty
per cent of these deposits and I think
that the Treasury Department has de-
cided to coin the bullion now on hand
rather than call in the deposits. or any
part Of them, in the national banks.

MINT RECEIVES
ORDER TO RUSH
Government Demands Produc-
tion of Twenty Dollar Pieces
Amounting to S4O,OOO,OOO
WORKING NIGHT AND DAY
No Explanation Is Offered, but
All Other Work Is Sus-
pended for the Present

There is much doing at the United
States Mint in this city. Orders have
been received from Washington by the
superintendent Of the Mint to suspend
all work Of the routine sort, in fact all
the work upon which he has been en-
gagged recently and to turn out as many
twenty dollar gold pieces in the next
two months as possible. Before a final
order was issued to proceed exclusively
with the minting Of twenty-dollar gold
pieces a query was sent out as to what
could be done.
Superintendent Leach answered that
it would be possible to coin $4,000. 900
in the designated gold coins in two
months. The Government did not seem
to be satisfied with this large output
and desired that the total should be
increased by at least $4,000, 900. max
ing the total gold coin production from
$40, 900, 900 TO $45, 900, 900. The people at
the Mint will now try to make the rec
ord Of $40, ,OOO, 900 at least in the sue
ceeding two months and the machinery
and skilled men will be kept steadily
at work day and night for the period
mentioned.
