through the windows of tho long deserted

who made bright new money an older
man telephoned to Capt. Flynn.
HEM told Capt. Flynn that he had
already put in circulation several hundred
OF his coins. He said that they had been
accepted without question even in New
York banks. He got his silver from Mexi-

20 cents on zach coin. He had made prepa-
rations, he said, to make dollars as wei:

only fear was that some one else would

in prison. He said that he would begin

Grenfell detailed some Of the discoveries Of
himself and DR.. Hunt in their recent re-
searches AZ Oxyrynchus. where the now
famous Sayings Of Jesus were found some
time ago. DIR. Grenfell referred briefly 10
the vellum fragment of an u~ncanonical
gospel relating to the conversation OF Jesus
and the Pharisee relating to purity. details
Of which have been cabled to THE SUN.
He quoted also from a translation of
part Of a hitherto unknown ode by Pindar.

which, speaking, reioices in its natural
gifts but scorns the pursuit OF wealth and
the possession Of power.
DIR. Grenfell also announced the finding
Of a papyrus OF 800 lines by an unknown
Greek writer, whom he believes to have
been the fourth century historian Theo-
pompus. The fragment supplies levi facts
concerning events that occurred o98-9sS
before Christ and the constitution Of
BOeotis, throwing valuable light upon
sources other than Xenophon. available to
later historians. DR.. Grenfell attaches
much Importance to This discovery, which,
he thinks. reveals a Q and unexpected
star Of Greek literature.

The bill IN question, now known as the

and after having received his approval
was transmitted to the Hon. A. B. Capron
Of Rhode Island. who originated it.
Tho letter in question was submitted
70 Capt. Stewart. who acknowledged its
authorship and accepted all responsibility
for the same. The acting Secretary con-
sidered the remarks in the letter such a
serious breach OF discipline that he di-
rooted. that the matter be inquired into.
