Tabooed Coins,

In the course of business certain Lon
don banks have occasion to send out
large sums of gold coin to China. No
sovereigns, however, will be accepted
which have the familiar St. George and
the dragon on the reverse side. The
dragon plays a leading part in reli-
gious matters in China, and it's figure
on the coin is abhorrent to the celes-
tial mind. The London consignees have,
therefore, to pick out the older coins
having a shield on the reverse side, for
transmission to the east, and these are
consequently becoming very scarce,
only about five in 1000 remaining in
general circulation in this country

= There are $4,000 marriages year
in New York, and, despite the popular
belief that continues to the contrary,
the rate of marriages is highest in
Manhattan, and not in Brooklyn. The
marriage rate per 1000 of population
in Manhattan is 1890, whic!, is, as the
figures of the cities go, abnormally
high. The marriage rate in Brooklyn
is CTS, in Richmond borough AGO, in
The Bronx 4.5O and in Queens 315.

1t was the kaiser's intention before
the betrothal was formally arranged to
have laid down severe conditions with
the grand duchess, but his hand was
forced by the crown prince, who impetu-
Ously engaged himself and made pub
lie announcement of the fact before the
preliminaries decided upon by the kais-
er could be settled. The German en-
press regards Anastasie with profound
aversion and horror; her reputation
along the Riviera is of the raciest des-
cription. She is a sister of the Grand
Duke Michael, who also lives here, but
he has given her up as bad Job and has
ITO further communication with her.
Even during her husbands lifetime
her love affairs created frequent scan
dals, and his mysterious death, it was al

Since then her conduct has been even
more fragrant. There are shocking
stories about her carrying on with re-

several.
The wedding has now been definitely
fixed for the third time for June 6, ant
the kaiser has caused it to be known
that he himself will provide the brid'

Ascertaining losses by war opera
tons is very difficult task, and yet
approximate results have been Sc
cured. 1t is noteworthy, but no occa'
sion for surprise, that the number
killed and wounded in war during 1904
greatly exceeds that of 1908 by reason
of the sanguinary contest between
Japan and Russia, in which lives have
been recklessly sacrificed. The total
loss for. the year is about 100000, as
compared with $4,000 in 1903, rs 900
in 1902 and 5000 in 1901.

ordinates. For Mayor Weaver, they
allege, is hand in glove with the polit-
ical machine, and no one has had rea-
son to doubt his loyalty to the men
who allowed him to step from the dis
trict attorneys Office to the mayors
chair.
AS district attorney he was dis
tinct success. He rose to that position
by dint of the most strenuous personal
efforts. He was born in England in
1862, was educated partly in that coun-
try and partly in Philadelphia, to
which city his parents moved when he
was eight years old. He left school
when he was 13 years old to become
an errand boy in law Office. Before
being admitted to the bar John Weaver
was law stenographer and recorder Of
the Law academy, of which he subse-
Quently became successfully treasurer,
vice president and president. He has
large private practice, to which he
devOteS such time as he can spare
from his duties at the city hall. He is
what is known as domestic" man,
being devoted to his home, is fond of
yachting and is well-known to all the
old salts of Barnegat.
AS man, Mayor Weaver is inter-
esting. His face beams with good ma
ture when greeting callers. He smiles
good deal, and gives one the impress
sion of certain easy frankness that
has led to the downfall of more than
one witness in court. The mayor has
nothing of dogmatic manner. Neither
has he satire, and it would be difficult
to imagine him without good manners
His Is not the face of scholar, nor
an aesthetic, nor a subtle humorist
He has good business head, with a
square jaw, a combative chin and a
pair of shrewd eyes. His mouth and
jaw give the distinct impression of a
man who is not in the least afraid of
his own opinion, but the kindly good
nature of his face gives an impression
of an aptness to be too generous. He
apparently could be Influenced good
deal by friendship.
To the men whom he has placed in
positions of responsibility around him
Mayor Weaver has been unswervingly
kind. In the face of storm of criti-
cism, backed by the prayers of the
clergy, the mayor has steadfastly re-
fused to deprive the director of public
safety of his Office. To the clergy
mems letter on this subject Mr.. Weav-
er replied: "You have made no
charges. shall not do as you re-
quest" Threats of Impeachment and
cries of "Resign!" have no effect upon
the mayor. From his sanctum at the
city hall he serenely defies ministers,
praying laymen and the Law and Or
der society. His present attitude is
embodied in second neatly framed
motto that hangs above his desk. It
! reads:
Don't make explanations. Your enemies
| won't believe them. Your friends don't
| need to.

Philadelphia.-Thet first Englishborn
citizen to be elected to the office of
chief executive of any American city
of great Importance is not establishing
record for unqualified popularity. The
citizen IA question is John Weaver,
mayor of this city, who has so wrought
up the ministers Of the Quaker City
that from their pulpits every Sunday
they pray especially for the spiritual
sickening of the official presiding at
the city hall. Mayor Weaver seems
not to be in the least disturbed by the
wave of petitions sent heavenward on
his account. He still asserts that
Philadelphia is the best governed city
on the continent and it's chief execu-
tive in no special need of divine
lightning bolt to point to the path OF
duty. #2 s.ar.s..-sf ..e~@..i .&
John Weaver is a devout Baptist.
His critics say he processes but does
not possess the Christian spirit. How
ever that may be, he teaches Sunday
school class every Sunday, and, when
harassed by official duties, turns for
inspiration to the following verse,
neatly framed over the mayoralty
desk: '"
For the cause that needs assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future In the distance
And the good that can do.
The mayors enemies say that his
honor fondly hopes that 1.-The future in
the distance" thinly wells a John
Weaver wearing judicial ermine, and
that were it not for that vision he
would pay more attention to the wall

vice is protected by the mayors sub

said Captain Truebridge of the Olym-

cargo of coal. 1T is simply because
we have come here after japanese
laborers. Whether we come or not will
not interfere with the japanese going
to the mainland. They are going to
the mainland and this sort of thing can
not stop them. They go in crowds on
the Pacific Mail and Oceanic boats to
San Francisco. We are simply taking
them to Seattle to a point further
north where they wish to 60
I'VE will not be out especially by the
inability to sell the coal, for we can
put some of it in our bunkers for use
going back, and if necessary can hold
the cargo for our Nome business. We
came down after the Japanese passen-
gers and this coal is simply a side issue.
Il do not know whether we will run
again here, but 1 will recommend that
we do"
1t was understood after the sale that
there We're some people comforting with
the officers of the vessel with a view
to purchasing the cargo. If there are
any purchases at private sale the cargo
will be put ashore.
The vessel is to depart about noon on
Thursday for Seattle unless she is de-
tanned discharging coal. About 500 Jap
anese will depart on her in the steer
age. She has Accommodations for 25
cabin passengers. The rate is $50 to

The Dowsett substitute bill for the

not clear as to the provisions of the
bill relative to personal taxes, it was

ment, the Senate meanwhile taking a
recess of five minutes.

Bishop as the introducer of the bill,
protested against the report as made
quate, the bill being for the purpose
Of encouraging the building of rail-
roads i'm the district mentioned in the
bill.
The report was not adopted, and on
motion to postpone to be considered
with the bill McCandless protested that
the pubic ldnuS COHlInllLee was hOl
opposed to railroads, but was opposed
to tax exemptions. And he proceeded
to charge that Bishop should have

building of a railroad on Oahu as he
did for tentative railway in Kohala,
he would have done more for the Terri

VIII county, government really go

on all sides in Honolulu. There are
many who are very skeptical about the
act taking effect, and predictions are
made that it will be knocked out like

sibility there is talk of an immediate
action to test the law in the Supreme
Court. Any taxpayer of the Territory
has a right to bring a suit to prevent
the coming county election from taking
place and such an action would serve
to test the entire constitutionality of
the act.

if the matter were brought up at once"
said Attorney General Andrews when
asked for his views as to the course to
be pursued. "The matter could be taken
to the Supreme court directly, on an
agreed statement of facts. To have
the doubts cleared away before the
election takes place will be a great aid
in carrying out the act, for confidence
in the counties will be much greater if
the act is sustained in advance by the
