Coinage Since 1879.

From the resumption of specie pay
ments in 1879 down to the year 1900
the constant increase in the stock Of
subsidiary coin required by the grow
ing population and trade of the coun-
try was supplied by the recoinage of
old and uncurrent subsidiary coins
which accumulated in the treasury un-
der the resumption act. In 1900, as
this stock was running low, authority
was granted in the monetary act of
March II to the secretary of the treas
ury to divert bullion purchased under
the act Of July Il, 1890, for the coin
age Of silver dollars to the coinage Of
subsidiary pieces. Under this author
ity about $33,O00,OOO has been coined
since 1900.

SMALL COINS GETTING SCARCE
Congress Wouldn't Authorize the

Which Is Why We Are to Buy the
Bricks-Some Silver History
of Post War Date.

Washington, Aug. 10.-For the first
time in thirteen years the government
has announced its purpose to purchase
silver for coinage purposes. Tenders
are invited at the Office of the director
Of the mint in this city on the 10Th
inst. up to / p. NJ, and every Wednes-
day thereafter until further notice.
These tenders are to be Tor delivery at
the Philadelphia, New Orleans, or
Denver mints, settlement to be on the
New York basis of bullion guaranteed
800 fine The treasury reserves the
right to reject all tenders, or accept
such part of any tender as may suit
its convenience.
Will Not Disturb the Market.
1t is understood that anticipating
that it's reappearance as a purchaser
might temporarily disturb the market
unduly, the treasury has obtained con-
troll of considerable amounts for future
delivery, so that it is in a position to
drop out of the market for several
months if desirable. The average re-
quirements of the treasury throughout
the year will probably not exceed 10O,-
coo ounces per week, and it will be the
policy Of the department-while keep
ing a reasonable amount in hand-to
so distribute it's purchases throughout
the year that its demands will be uni
form and not an element Of uncertain
ty in the market

Founding a New Sect.

PARIS, July 20.-A few days ago a
peculiar looking individual made his
appearance on the bOulevards, creating
considerable interest and curiosity by
his peculiar garb and actions. He is a
tall man with long hair and beard, is
clad in a white monks robe, and wears
sandals on his bare feet Those who
accost him receive the answer: Il
am Meva, and those who follow me
are Meva."
This queer fellow, it appears, is a
Dutchman by birth, named Salomon-
son. He has been in the consular
service, and spent some time in Java.
where he became imbued with a new
semi-religious creed, for which he now
seeks to make propaganda. 4 y,
This modern apostle eats only raw
fruit, vegetables and nuts. No LIQUID
of any sort, he claims, has passed his
lips since September, 1901. He es-
chews salt, which, he says, is the root
Of all evil and illness. All these in
teresting particulars are set forth in
pamphlet printed in four languages.
which this exponent of the ultra-sim-
pie life presents to those who appear
interested.

YOUNG MILLIONAIRE RISKS LIFE
Victor du Pont Drives Powder Wag-
on From Mills to Maya
zine.

WILMINGTON, DEL, July 2O.-Not
many heirs to millions would risk
their lives daily to break a strike by
driving a powder wagon, but that is
what Dupont, the son of the general
manager of the powder trust is doing.
Mr.. du Pont, who is 80 years old and
recently married, took up this hazard
Gus duty because Of a strike at the
powder works. The powder makers
demanded an eight-hour day at the
same wages they were receiving for
working II hours. The company re-
fused, and more than 60 powder max
ers struck work. Men employed in
other departments, the drivers among
them, went out in sympathy.
The drivers strike was a serious
matter, as there was a great amount
of powder in the mills which had to
be stored in the magazines Then it
was that young Dupont volunteered
his services as a driver, and, thanks
to his efforts, this end of the strike has
been broken up.
Since Mr.. Dupont left college to go
into the powder business his duties
have been as dangerous as those Of
any workman. He has toiled in the
high explosive department, and has
had some narrow escapes.

soNGsTER HIS OLD SWEETHEART
"Seedy" Stranger Weeps When He
Recognizes Voice Of Old Friend
in Photograph.

CLEVELAND, o., July 2O.-"Its
she! 1 know that voice! Oh. it must
kbe!" With wild eyes, a seedy appear
Ting stranger perhaps 20 years of age
in one of the penny exhibits, dropped
the ear tubes from the photograph
that was emitting the words of a pop
ular song, sung in a mild soprano
voice. Then he picked them up excit-
eddy and heard the piece through.
A crowd gathered about him, but he
paced about the room, not seeing them
but looking nervously at the titles Of
the songs over the monographs. A
few moments later he rushed up to
the cashiers window, got nickel
changed into pennies and went again
to the photograph that had caused his
emotion.
He listened to the piece quietly, al
though his nervousness was apparent,
but as the chorus was reached he bur-
led his face on the arm resting on the
glass cover to the machine and wept
like a child.
A bystander, more curious than the
rest called the stranger to one side and
asked the cause Of his grief. He said
that he recognized the voice of the
singer as that of a girl he had known
in his school days in a central Ohio
town. She had gone to New York
where, after Indifferent success, she
had got to making a living by singing
in some of the cheaper amusement
places. A few months ago, said the
stranger, her friends heard that she
had died.

SON swEARs VENGEANCE.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Between his
sobs this morning Lawrence White, son
Of Stanford White, breathed out venge-
ance on Harry K. Thaw and swore that
every resource at his avail would be
used to send him to the electric chair
HE murdered my father and mur-
dered him in cold blood" half brokenly
said the youth. His stories may be
true and then again they may not. Such
things never lose anything when pass
ing from gossip 10 gossip. Father
loved the gay life of Broadway and the
cafes, but he never did half the evil
things charged up against him by the
scandal mongers.
"I am only a young man, but 1 have
life before me and while 1 have dol
lar and hand with which to pay 1t out
I'll look only for vengeance on the
man who murdered the best father that
ever lived.
And If Harry Thaw is freed of this
charge of murder or If he gets a term
of imprisonment. he may depend upon
it that 1 will get even as soon as he
breathes free air again

PITTSBURG. June 26.-Mrs Charles
]. Holman, mother of Mrs. Harry Ken
dali Thaw. who lives at Brookline. a
suburb of this city, was apprised to-
day of the shooting of Stanford White
by Thaw. She said she did not know
Stanford White and had never heard
of him.
At the home of Mrs. William Thaw.
mother of Harry. who sailed from New
York last Saturday to spend the sum-
mer with her daughter Alice, the
Countess of Yarmouth, it was said that
she would be reached as quickly as
possible and notified of the unfortunate
affair. 1t was likely, 1t was said, that
she would take the first vessel for
home. Mrs. Thaw was not in the best
of health when she left the city. and II
is expected the news will have Sc
rious effect upon her condition.
Up to a comparatively shot time ago
but little had been seen of Harry Ken
dali Thaw in Pittsburg for a number
of years. Shortly after his father $
death he went abroad and there made
his residence, living most of the time
in Paris. After his return from Europe
and his marriage he purchased fine
piece OF property on Fifth avenue, and
1t was said that 1t was his intention
to put up a handsome home. One OF
the reports current here today was that
Thaw had had some talk with the man
killed relative to some of the archi-
tectural features of the new house.
