MINIS COMING
LITTLE SILVER
Small Amount Turned Out
in Philadelphia.

At the present time the Philadelphia
Mint is the only one of the Government
nlints which is coming silver and the
amount turned out there is very small
In fact, it was stated by Director Rob-
erts yesterday that there was really
nc need for the coinage of any silver at
ali He said the country could do with
out any more silver coins for at least
six months.
The mint at New Orleans has been
Idle now for two months. No coins of
any kind have been turned out there
Gold bullion has been received, assayed
and paid for, but no coins have been
made. 1t is quite probable the mint at
New Orleans viii begin coming gold in
month or SO.
Little Silver There.
There is little or go silver bulIipn at
the New Orleans mint, and yery little
anywhere, The question of securing a
supply of silver bullion is being con-
sidered by Secretary Shaw and Di-
rector Roberts. There will be no. diff
Guilty Ia securing the bullion, and there
Is no danger of dearth of silver coin
as Mr. Roberts says the country has
plenty 10 supply it for six or feight
months Silver bullion is generally
bought from the lowest bidCer

The mint office at Denver is now merely
an assay office, but beginning next fall

able that a great deal OF the silver and

much as it d7es at the present Zine.

Table of Easter Dates.

Easter Is the most Important church
festival of the year, because by its
dates are@hxed all the movable faasts
of the Christian year. During the first
centuries of the Christian era Easter
was observed on different dates by the
Greek Church. the Roman Church. and
the Celtic Church In that year, how
ever, the council of Nicaea decided the
date of Easter. 1t was agreed that as
the moon had been full on the night
after the Crucifixion Easter must be
governed by the phases of the moon and
be q movable feast falling on the first
Sunday after the full moon of the spring

EXPLAINS MISSION HERE
MISSION HERE
Wishes to Discover Method to Offset
Tendency to Migrate to
Cities.

At luncheon rendered him by the
City Gardens Association of Washing
ton, in the Shoreham Hotel yesterday
II. Rider Haggard. the famous English
novelist and economist, declared that
the. tendency of men in modern times
was away from the country toward the
great cities. To this tendency he
ascribed the enormous increase in the
proletariat class, noticeable in recent
years. Mr.. Haggard Is in this country
Iot the purpose of discovering, If possi-
bic. some method by which this tendency
may be offset.
In the course of his address, Mr.. Hag-
gard said that 1t had been proved by
careful investigation that nlree gener-
ationS of life in the London Sums would
wipe out a family. OF the hundreds OF
thousands of souls which go to make
VI, the lowest class in the great metrop-
oils, it is a rare thing to find one whose

Pleased With Reception.

Mr.. Haggard was roundly applauded
when ne arose to address the hundred
or more guests seated about the board.
Many of the most prominent business
men in Washington had assembled to
meet the celebrated author of She"
He was much pleased, he said, with the
reception he had been accorded since
he landed in America. There had been
a time, he said, when it was popular
superstition that the writer of fiction
was good for nothing else Mr. Haggard
denied the truth of this belief, saying
he thought that the gift of observa-
ticn which every novelist must possess
was in itself a powerful factor in life
of q successful man, no matter what
line OF work he pursue.
Judging from his own experience since
he landed In New York, Mr.. Haggard
declared, laugilingiy, that every literary
man must have more than one side. He
had been variousiy described in the
American press as short and stout, long
and lean. large and imposing small and
insignificant, and average and ordinary.
There was no type of human being
which he did not resemble, according to
the descriptions of him printed

Tribute to Japanese.

He paid a high tribute to the Japanese.
and said that one reason why the Jap
anese had been so successful in the
war with Russia was because they were
first of all an agricultural -eopIe. He
denied the truth of the assertion often
repeated that the men and women of
the slurns would not go to the country
If they had the chance, and would not
work on farms IL they were put there.
Because countrymen were anxious to
go TO the city Is no proof, he said, that
those who had seen the awful life IN
the slutns would not gladly go back 10
the fields.

dresses were Commissioner Macfarland.

Married..

On Wednesday evening, Septemhan
6, 1905, at s:15, at the parsonage O.
the Sacred Heart church, Mr.. Jim
Coleman and Miss Laurel A. Wiley
were united in marriage, Rev. Father
B. Lee officiating. The wedding was
very quiet, only the attendants, Miss
Marion Merrick and MIR. A. B. Burton,
being present.
After the ceremony the happy party
were driven to the home of the newly
welded couple, which the groom had
so deliberately arranged for the recep.
ton of his bride, and received con-
gratulations of relatives and friends,
after which all repaired to the dining
room, where delicious refreshments
were served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman were the re-
cipients of many useful and handsome
presents, and have many friends who
wish for them Heavens choicest
blessings.

MAKE YOUR ADVERTISING STRONG ENOUGH TO BRING
RURAL PHONE
CONNECTIONS
The Local Exchange Now Has
About Three Hundred Phones
on Lines-Free Service.

1t is fact not generally known,
perhaps, even to the majority of the
business people who have phone con-
nections, that the local exchange now
has free exchange with some three or
four hundred rural phones, distributed
over the county. These rural phones
are at Tennessee Colony, Brushy
Creek, Montalba, and other country
precincts. These were formerly toll
lines, but by an agreement arranged
by MIR. Cement, manager of the local
exchange, they have been put on the
free list. The advantage of this is
apparent. A country merchant can
order goods by phone and get them
without delay, doctors can be called,
business discussed, etc.
