MONEY WITH A TAG.

Dollar Bill Was Real Mail-New York
 Postohice Men Surprised. While all the postofice clerks at the Federal building in New York were plunging into the evening rush of mail the other day, several made simul- taneous dive into the sea of letters for a new dollar bill which was seen bob bing about in the mass of letters, says the New York Times.
 < Everybody was astonished when the clerk who got 1t held it up, for the bill was not unattached and lost as often happens, but 1t was tagged, addressed and stamped, the tag being pinned to the bill. The stamp was two cent one, and the bill was addressed to Miss Althea Briggs, Kingston, N. Y. If the sender wanted to test the honesty of the postoface clerks and letter carriers be has his answer, because Miss Briggs now has the bill.
 This is the first time, it is said, that bill has been sent through the mail in this way, although sometimes silver dollars and half dollars pass through the mails with postage stamp on one side and the address pasted on the other

Told Very Rev. BenxIer His Duty Was
 to Bless, Not Curse.
 Bishop Benzler of Metz has been call cd to Rome, the German government having made complaint against him, says Berlin special cable dispatch to the New York Times.
 Some months ago the bishop caused a sensation by publishing anNdict pro hibiting the burial of Protestants In the joint communal cemetery at Fla meek, near Strassburg. A short while afterward Emperor William received the bishop at the railway station at Strassburg The emperor was very angry. He said:
 You have asked for an audience, bishop. I am greatly dissatisfied with you. You have cursed German ceme- tery. Remember that the emperor will never allow intolerant curses of that kind. Your duty is to bless. not curse"
 The bishop said he had withdrawn the edict, and the emperor added:
 That is very fortunate for you. Let me tell you that you are to serve God according to your conscience, but you must also serve the kaiser and the fatherland. If necessary the emperor's hand can be strong as iron" The details of this conversation were recently made public.

Ar Motoring . Club Fad.

Advancement of aerostation or motor ing in the air is one of the serious ob- jects of the most up to date of New York clubs, says the New York Jour- nal The New York Motor club has formally decided to push the new art of sailing about in the blue along with those Of streaking it across the coun- try in red devil and making clipping water records with auto boats. Tn it's own words, as chosen after much dis cussion at it's initial meeting, the pur- poses of the club are ito promote mo- toring on land, water and in the air." Sidney B. Bowman advocated the inno- vation. Charles H. Hyde, a director, opposed it, but the club voted to go into the Santos Dumont business. It's first encouragement will probably be extended to Captain Baldwin, the Cali fornia inventor, who is now in New York to arrange for sailingsl of his California Arrow, which did such as- tonishing things at the St. Louis worlds fair.

 The Port Arthur newspaper, Novy Krai, copies of which were recently brought to Chefu by the torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny, prints details of a daring exploit which resulted in the sinking of a four funneled Japanese destroyer.
 Japanese torpedo boats and destroy CTS were engaged in removing mines from Tache bay few days ago. Mid shipman Dimitrieff conceived the idea that he could torpedo the Japanese boats under cover of darkness, as the boats were very busy and enjoying a fancied security.
 Securing a steam launch carrying a torpedo tube and accompanied by half dozen volunteers, Dimitrief slipped out of the harbor and succeeded in evading the Japanese searchlights. (
 Circling around the Japanese boats with the launch moving at top speed, the midshipman came within striking distance and launched his projectile. It sped to destroyer. There was an explosion, and the destroyer sank i'm mediately. The launch then sped to- ward the harbor, but was not pursued, the Japanese evidently thinking that the destroyer had struck one of their own mines.

A "sit stirl. Club.

The Sit Still club was recently organ ized at Lincoln, Neb., by well known business and professional men, says a dispatch from Lincoln. The object of the club is the improvement of street car facilities. The members say that the street car company is not operat- ing enough cars to accommodate traf- tic on. it's lines, and they propose to compel an Improvement in the service by declining to surrender their seats to women when the cars are crowded. They maintain that the company will never improve the service until women agitate the question and demand an improvement, and they believe that women will take vigorous action when they find that men will not surrender their seats to them.

 It was your first game, and someone suggested you as a good one to choose I didn't need to be told that. however, for I had you all picked cut; had chosen you the minute got in the game. Of course they didn't know. sc when caught you and had that first kiss"--he paused significantly they thought 1t a great joke.
 Il felt dreadfully sorry when you felt so bad, and cried; and wouldn't play any more that day. But said to my. self then, and have said it many timea since, that some time was going tc have another; though of course l wouldn't want it if 1t should affect you as that first one did" He looked fof some sign from her, but Marion did not stir All this time she had sat with face turned away, her eyes shining and her cheeks rosy.
 !, At last Tom began to grow fearful ol the prolonged silence and broke it with: Now have dared. have come. Don't send me away, for I have always wanted you"
 Send you awsy? Iwouldn't dare Marion turned toward him face all smiles, but eyes dimmed with tears. ''l wouldn't dare because, we'll because I've always loved you, too, Tom, at least since that day we played King William and you gave me my frst kiss.'

A SATISFACTORY STATEMENT.

| Satisfactory is just the word that de- scribes the annual statement of the youngest of the Three Giants It has
 always been the aim of the management
 of the Equitable to conduct the business in the best interest of those most con cerned, viz, the pelicyholders. It is evi- dent that this is being done, since in the year just ended the society paid 6ivi- dends of $5, ,6S2, ,295.55 in total payment to policy holders amounting to SS4, ,949,- 672.27. both items being larger not only than the best previous record of the society, but also than those of any other company.
 The total income amounted to 73,71S,- 35O.9S. The assets are stated at $SS1, ,226,- OS5.53, and a glance through them shows that the investments are sound and of kind profitable for the society. The liabilities, consisting of reserve s3O3, ,457, : 838 and other liabilities $4,414,059. 50. amount to $307, ,S71, ,S97.50 SD that there is lefta surplus amounting to $73,354, 13S. .03, sum larger by many millions than the corresponding fund of any other com pany.
 The new business secured during 1903 amountedto $322,047, ,96S, and the amount of outstanding insurance is now stated at $I4O9, ,91S,7 TAP. The former item is larger than in any previous year of the society's history, and not only is the total amount insured larger than ever before, but the increase during the year exceeded the corresponding increase during any other year.
 With such a record attined in less than forty-five years-assets, income. surplus and insurance all much larger than any other company has secured in less than forty-five years-the policy holders should be gratified that their interests are so well and satisfactorily taken care of.

WHEN DOES VAR BEGIN?
WITH BREAKING OF DIPLo-
 MATIC RELATIONS.

ID OPtnlon or Professor Wool
 sey of Yale, Authority on In.ernn-
 IiOnal Law-Therefore Russia Had
 Fair Warning.
 Professor Theodore s. Woolsey of the Yale Law school, one Of the leading American authorities on International law, yesterday gave it as his opinion that in breaking off diplomatic reIa- tions, the Japanese government gave a perfectly fair warning to Russia that war was at hand. A declaration of war nowadays is unnecessary" said Professor Woolosey. War dates from the first moment of conflict so far as the belligerents are concerned. Neutral duties date from the official announce ment made to other governments that war has been begun.
 There was nothing treacherous or improper in the Japanese torpedo at tack upon the Russian ships at Port Arthur. A conflict between single ships of the two countries the Sunday before, if not disavowed, would have begun the war equally as we'll"
 In support of his view, Prof. Wool sey said that Russia's declaration of war against Turkey, in 1877 was pre- ceded by some hours by the entry of Russian forces into Turkey, and that in the war os the United States with Mexico, the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de La Palma were fought be- fore Congress recognized by act a state of war as existing.
 Tt is the fact of violence and not the declaration of status upon which we must really fix our eyes if we would ask where war begins, said Prof. Wool sey.
