It appears that the Mint does not buy old coins or pa- per money, except some rare Colonial coins in fine condition, which are de-. sired for the Mint cabinet. Mutilated or uncurrent United States gold and silver coin is punched as bullion. The Mint has no pattern pieces for sale. The government pays no premium for the return of any of it's coins or paper money. New coins cannot be struck until authorized by an act of Congress. The Mint supplies United States coins only and not of any past date. The $50 gold piece and half dollar and quar- ter dollar pieces in gold were struck by private parties on the California coast during the 49 period, and not by the United States government.
 The coinage of the following coins ceased in the years named: Half and one cent, copper in 1857; sone cent. nickel, 1864; half dime and three cents, silver, and two cents, bronze, in 1873; twenty cents, silver, 1878; trade dollars,

MORE LIGHT.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 On leaving Woolsey hall after sun down, one finds himself on the outer half dozen stone steps of the building groping his way down to the sidewalk because of the utter darkness that pre- vails. Now that snow and ice forms, the steps are still more dangerous. The solitary electric in the distance is aD- solutely of no avail. Hundreds Of cleo tric lights adorn the inside of the struc- ture, but not one outside of the rotun- da. The inside glare renders the dark ness on the steps intense to people leaving the building.
 The writer assisted two elderly Ia dies to their feet, who had, fallen head long down the steps while leaving the symphony concert this evening. Surely their gowns were ruined and ostenslply they were painfully bruised.
 The carefulness with which people are obliged to leave the building, owing to the darkness outside greatly delays many hundreds in making their exit. Let's have some lights. -E L.

 John Davey, of Kent, Ohio, known as the author of the Tree Doctor" deliv- cred most interesting and instructive lecture in the Courier building last eve ming on tree life and the work of the tree butcher. MT. Davey used the H. illustrative method of demonstrating the lecture, and great number of fine re- productions of photographs of trees were thrown on the screen.
 Mir Davey spoke first of the tree butchers" as he classed those people who unscientitically lop off the limbs of trees to get rid of branches that are in the way and to trim the trees. This method of procedure interferes with the respiration and circulation of the trees. There is method of accomplishing the desired results without injuring the trees. This is by cutting them in the proper places known to those who have made tree life study, and by taking proper care of the cuts so that rot will

not set in. The proper method of deal- ing with the trees will prolong their lives greatly.
 The trouble could be avoided. he de- clared, by having the trees properly fixed at the time of planting. Shade trees on public highways and in parks should have their branches high enough to obviate the necessity of cutting them later. He told about the causes of tree destruction and the remedies for them.
 There are three places in this coun- try, said Mir. Dayey, where trees grow Iwell-first, in open cultivated fields; second, in native, woodlands where no grass has been allowed, for good sod means poor roots, and vice versa; and third, in cemeteries.
 MT. Dayey explained the scientific method of saving trees and showed many, views of trees in all conditions. He explained the causes of their ill., health or their good condition, which ever it might be. The views were ex- cellent and some exceedingly handsome specimens of trees were displayed.

NEW SHIPS WE HAVE; NEW MEN
 WE NEED.

The triumph of the new armed crtlis- CT Pennsylvnia calls attention once more to the peculiar conditions in the navy. We are fast getting together a very formidable fleet. It is doubtful if there is in the world so valuable ship for offensive and defensive purposes as the Pennsylvania, which combines the fighting strength and defensive Quali- ties of the best battleship with the speed of the fastest cruiser. It is claimed by experts that in efficiency our navy stands third on the list, following Great Britian and France, with the possibility that it might prove to be second in an actual contest.
 This is good, but we are still con- fronted with the fact that the navy Is not only undermanned, but is short of officers, while the age limit for retire. ment is fast being reached by all in highest commands. Take the battle- ships, which in time of war are ex- pected to be the most formidable ves- sels. The age of captains ranges from 55 tt 59 and several of them will soon be admirals, and will be succeeded by men as old as they. The average age of our captains is almost 5S while in Great Britain it is only AS, the same as
 1t is in Germany, while in Japan it Is
 only A. As there are more captains than battleships or armored cruisers
 some of them are in command of small- CT vessels. The commanders are most of them men of mature years, and the
 astonishing situation presents itself that in few years there will be more admirals on the retired list than there
 are men commanding fighting vessels. ] Experience has shown that young men as a rule are the best fighters. Tn our own navy we have only to think of Paul Jones, Lawrence, Marlborough.
 Perry Hull, Bainbridge and the two l Porters, not to mention others, to see 1 that the young men have been respon- sible for most of it's glories. Farragut alone, of the older men, stands out con- l spicuous, unless we mention Dewey,
 Sampson and Schley in the late war with Spain. It is not necessarily the case that older men are incompetent or
 too cautious, but the duties of a cap- ! tain are so arduous that it requires l great physical endurance as well as
 mental acuteness to be successful.
 I We ought to have some captains of
 40, but we will never get them until
 there is change in the system which
 simply promotes men in rotation. The
 situation will be worse twenty-five
 years hence, when the new crop of en-
 signs and lieutenants become grey
 haired commanders and captains. If we
 are to have navy it must be made ] efficient, and to attain this end con-
 stant infusion of new blood all along l the line and staff is essential. From :! the Philadelphia Inquirer.

SYMPHONY CONCERT.

 Big Audience.

SplendlG EnIerlalnmenL nIiiJoJSu "
 Big Audience.
 The second concert of the New Haven symphony occurred yesterday after noon at Woolsey hall. As usual the au- dience was large and without doubt the community is appreeiating the ef- forts of the Yale musical department. The programme embraced the modern and old Dvorak, Tschaikows- ky and Gluck respectively.
 Miss Marie Nichols of Boston was the soloist for the afternoon and contrib uted to the programme Vieuxtemps concerto for violin in D minor. The symphony was the familiar From the New World'' by Dvorak: This work was completed in New York a few years ago, when the late Bohemian master was visiting this country. It Is beautifully melodious, and demon strates the great art of making much out of little dramatic material.
 Dvorak found his theme from the ne gro folk music, but the composition as a whole is quite Bohemian in charac- ter.
 The orchestra was adequately pre- pared to present this work and the rem dition was very pleasing. Abundant color, rhythmic balance and breadth were obvious.
 The attacks were spontaneous, and the tonal quality all that was requisite. Particularly well played were the largo and finale.
 Vieuxtemps' concerto was not the happiest choice for a symphony con cert, but Miss Nichols played it ex- tremely well, showing exquisite feeling for tonal quality, her adequate tech nique and temperament. She made a decidedly good impression on the audi ence and was obliged to bow her ac, knowledgments to several encores. Par ticularly charming and sweet was the suite of ballad airs by Gluck. He lived in the eighteenth century and this suit reflects the quaint spirit that pre- vailed in the ballet at that period. The suite was fascinatingly played by the orchestra and the gavotte is worthy of special mention.
 TschaikoWslSy's overture, Romeo and Juliet, was fitting choice for the end of the programme.
 This overture is wonderfully melodi ous and depicts wildly the essence of the play from which it takes it's name The orchestra responded with stunning spontaneity and dash, bringing the con lcert to 8 brilliant close. All in all it was a splendid concert and a decided improvement on the pre- vious one.

cite dollar was struck in 1899, the date on the coin (190o) being that of the un- yelling of the memorial.
 There are certain markings on every United States coin that enables the place of it's coinage to be located. Those struck at the Philadelphia Mint have no mint mark, but those struck at all other hints are distinguished by a small letter on the reverce, near the bottom. These letters are c for Char lotte, N. O.. discontinued in 1861; iCC for Carson City, Nevada, discontinued in 1893; D for Dahlonega, Ga, discon- #tinued in 1861; o for NeW-O Oreleans and $ for San Francisco. The coins of the United States now authorized by law are: Tn gold, double eagle half eagle, quarter eagle; in silver, half dollar, and dime; minor, five cent, nickel and one cent, broze. A person may buy a proof set of gold coins from the Mint for 3S.50 and a proof set of silver and minor coins for s1.50. When the busi-
 ness of the hints Is slack, medals
 may be struck from dies furnished by
 indiveduals, public institutions and
 incorporated societies, at a charge
 sufficient to cover the cost of the opera tion and the value of the metal. --Froni

SAVED FROM DROWNING.
Prompt Work and Daring Rescue at
 Lake Whitney.

Prompt Work and Daring Rescue at
 Lake Whitney.
 A fatality was narrowly ayerted at Lake Whitney Monday afternoon by the presence of mind and courage of John Alan White of the sophomore class. White and a comrade were skat- ing on the upper part of the lake, when suddenly his comrade, who was some feet ahead, crashed through the ice. A light coating of snow lay on the sur- face, so that unWittingly he had skated onto one of those thin formations. Without a moments hesitation White threw himself on his stomach, rapidly made his way toward his struggling companion and assisted him out in the nick Of time.
 White is the youngest man in his class, is very popular, a clever debater and was chosen as the John J. Cox scholar for his brilliant work in his freshman year.
