The director of the mint is called
on to answer such a wide range OF
questions concerning the values of
old and new coins and medals that
he found it necessary to issue circu-
lars covering mater of this sort.
They tell some interesting facts. 1t
appears that the mint does not buy
old coins, except some rare colonial
coins in fine condition which are de-
sired for the mint cabinet. Mutt
lated or uncurrent United States gold
and silver coin is purchased as bull
lion. The mint has no pattern pieces
for sale.
The government pays no premium
for the return of any of its coins or
paper money. New coins can not
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 pieces
and the half dollar and quarter dol
lar pieces in gold were struck by in
dividuals on the California coast dur
ing the 40 period, and not by the
United States government.
The coinage. of the following coins
ceased in the years named; Half
and one cent copper, 1857; 1 cent

the bride in Denver, William John Den
mis- was united in wedlock to Miss May
Hancock. The ceremony was performed
in the presence of friends and relatives
of the contracting parties and the resi-.
dence in which the wedding was solemn
lied was attractively arranged for the
occasion. The above nuptials have cre-
ated much comment since the announce
ment was made IN the Observer a few
weeks ago, as the bride and groom have
many friends in this city and 10 Denver.
Mr.. Dennis is a Central City product,
and has resided here almost continuous
ly since childhood. He has ever been an
Industrious young man, and year or
more ago embarked in the butcher bust
ness with his father. He has lnnumer
able friends and acquaintances through
out the county. His bride is a social
favorite of Denver and is prominent in
society circles of the capital City.
She is a handsome and refined young
lady, and being cultured and possessing
a very amiable disposition will IN AXE the
groom a valuable and devoted helpmeet.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dennis have gone to Colo
rado Springs for short stay and before
returning to this city will visit in Boul-
der and other points around the horn.
They will occupy the cottage on the
Casey, adjoining the Harvey residence,
which has been beautifully furnished.
The young couple have the well wishes

One OF the most enjoyable sessions
ever held by Central City Lodge, No.

ing of this week. A class composed OF
thirteen candidates, twelve from Golden

prospective members arrived from Col
den, accompanied by Elks who had been
members of the herd for years, on the
evening train, and made merry until the
lodge opened. 1t required the larger
part Of the evening to give the members
to be all that was coming to them and
afterwards the entire gathering, visitors
and all repaired to the vacant room in

Richards 8 PrinqIe's MinstreIs.

The number of people who really live
is small compared with the vast number
that merely exist. Some people seem to
think il they go to one minstrel show
that they have seen them all and stop
right there. Those are the people that
just exist, nothing more.
In the larger cities it is common to
meet the heads of families who in tigur-
ing on their daily, weekly or monthly
expenses, figure that the theater is a
necessary expense and visit each week
must be figured on. These people real
ly live, and it is a noticeable fact that
the same habit is spreading into the in-
terror.

Philip Parenteau Called.

Philip Parenteau, an old time and re-

called to his reward this morning be-
tween four and five o'clock. Death was
due to pneumonia, an ailment the de-

The funeral will be held Saturday after
noon at l o'clock from the residence.
Philip Parenteau was native of Wis

being born September II, 1856. He was
a citizen of this place over thirty years,

an audience. Miss Kruse's remarks
completed the program proper after
which extemporaneous talks were made
by visitors from this city and residents
OF Lake gulch apropos Of the occasion.
The room was then cleared and
tables arranged upon which we're placed
edibles in abundance, from turkey down
to sass. Not only did the "tables
groan," to use an old stereotyped ex-
preston, but they fairly staggered under
the load OF good things. The supper
was complete in every sense and the
viands were prepared with culinary
skill for which Mesdames Leo. Jones,
Jas. Rafferty, and Wm. Bishop, who did
the cooking, are deserving OF unlimited
praise.
The guests departed for their homes
after the eleventh hour, having congrat-
ulated the residents OF Lake gulch for
the very enjoyable entertainment they
had provided.

the police are on the case, who will get
the complete story from her
According to what she has already
said. this woman is willing to tell what
she knows OF the affair, but has held
back because she would be brought into
the limelight of publicity if her story
became known. She is now woman whom
every one that knows respects, but she
once led different life and fears that if
brought into court as witness her past
will become public property and that
she will never again be able to hold up
her head among her friends and acquaint-
ances. This woman has made a COM
plete reformation Of her whole life, and
il possible to get the story of the crime
from her without making it necessary to
bring her into the courts as witness we
win do SO.
"We believe that we know in which
mine the bodies we're thrown and il pos
sible they will be dug out. The water
has caused the sides of the shaft to cave
in and the task Of digging it out would
be a tremendous one. 1t will be hard to
make case against the murderers unless
we can find the bodies or get witness
that saw the crime committed"
The story Of the murder told by the
Denver woman, while it may sound a
little "fishy" to some is very likely one
nevertheless. Those who made thor
ough Investigation into the disappear
ance of Williams learned practically the
same details as the Denver woman fur
nished the newspaper. Upon investiga-
tion they became convinced that man
had been murdered, and supposed it to
be an Italian who disappeared a short
time before Williams was last heard of.
and it is thought that the killing of the
Italian is what the Denver woman had
reference to when she said that Williams
was done away with because he knew too
much about a murder that had been
committed.
Since the disappearance of Williams it
has been reported on the streets that he
was killed to hide the murder Of Mar
guerite Silcox, one of the demi moLde,
who died in the Granite house a little
over year ago as the result of injuries
received in fight 10 one of the brothels,
it being stated that he was familiar with
the details of the killing.
1t is possible that the relatives of
Williams may attempt to recover the
body of the boy by unwatering the shaft
he Is supposed to be in, aud if found
will prosecute those guilty of his muir
der.

Gar Thanks Rojestvensky.

ST. Petersburg, June 10. - Emperor
Nicholas has cabled the following mes
sage to Admiral Rojestvensky:
From my heart | thank you and all
the officers of the squadron who have so
honorably done their duty for your un-
selfish work for Russia and for me. BY
the will of the Almighty success was
not destined to crown your endeavors,
but your boundless bravery will always
be a source of pride to the country. 1
wish your speedy recovery. May God
console you all. Nicholas"
The peculiar wording of the message
is attracting attention. The restriction
of the EmperOr's thanks to those honor
ably doing their duty is tanning the
ugly talk regarding the surrender and
the conduct of some of the crews. The
messages of Admiral Enquist and Capt
Chagin, of the Russian cruiser, Almaz
did not contain any intimation of misbe.
havior on the part of the officers OF
