Treasury Department Receives Many
 Apnlicati0na for Randa

Treasury Department Receives Many
 Applications for Bonds.
 Washington, Nov. 1y.-Treasury of- ficials are highly gratified at the large number of letters and telegrams re- ceived from all sections, commenting the Secretary's action with respect to the issue of Government certificates of indebtedness and Panama bonds.
 During last night and today, many telegrams were received applying for participation in fEe distribution of the certificates. and asking for details and requirements of the bond issue. Both issues, judging from spresent indica- tfons, will, it is said, become very popular, and the subscriptions, in the judgment of the officials will far ex- ceed the total to be disposed of. The determination of the Secretary to TO- ceive registered certifcates as basis for circulation, as well as for Gov ernment deposits. is highly commended and no doubt Is expressed that this additional quality given to the certifi- cates will greatly stimulate public de- mand.
 New York city banks have signified a purpose, to increase their present circuiation by over $25.0eo. 900. and this fact Is most favorably commented upon. Secretary Cortelyou, before leaving the department for the Cabi- net meeting, said that he had no pulp lie statement to make in regard to the details of the issue of certificates and bonds. nor do the other officials feel at liberty to discuss the matters. All. how ever, agree that everything is working but satisfactorily.

 Osborn H. OIdroyd. the man who runs on private account the Museum of Lincoln Relics in Washington, and mas Tor forty years devoted his ener- gies to collecting every scrap of in- iormation and material bearing on the lie or the Great Emancipator. brings out an interesting point in recent ir- terview regarding the growth of an anecdote told of a great man. q lived in Springfield (Iil.) so long that when read some of the later bio- graphies of Lincoln" Mir. Oldroyd says. II recognize the stories that I heard in the making. Every man. woman or child that ever had sthe merest glimpse of Lincoln has magnified that relationship. Out of it some of them have made very interesting stories in- deed, and have told them so often that they have really come to believe them, ! used to SCOUT the whole neigfibor- hood searching for. relics and informa- ton. In order to get at the people in an informal way took my gun along and did a5little hunting as an excuse Tor being out. Then would drop into some farmhouse to stay all night, and It needed but little effort among the old-timers to start conversation about Lincoln."s The sinvestiRations of MT. w. W. Ellsworth of the Century Magazine as to the origin of many of the George Washington's legends, like the story of the hatchet, point to the same moral. The stories that are in the making in the genration im- mediately after the death sfof a great historic parsonage eventually con- tribute largely to the accepted sources of public Information. t

The Riot Act .

Chicago Journal. /
 What is commonly known as read ing the riot act'' Is better known than the origin of the phrase. The histori- cal Riot act was passed by the British Parliament in the reign of George In 17lA It enacts that felony Is com mItted when twelve or more persons unlawfulIy. riotously and tumultuously assemble together, to the disturbance of the public peace, so to continue to- gether for an hour after being com manded to disperse by the Sheriff or Under Sheriff or Justice or the Mayor of the borough.
 In the reading of the British Riot act, which is a necessary preliminary to it's being put into operation. 1t Is not customary to recite the whofe of the statute, which Is rather a long one. but only the following proclamation which 1t contains:
 eOur sovereign lord the King charg- eth and commandeth all persons being assembled immediately to disperse themselves. and peacefully to depart to their habitations. or to their lawful business, upon the pains contained in the act made in the first year of King George for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies. God save, the KlnEl"

Age of Trees.

Kansas City Journal.
 When one hears the mention of a tree that has passed the century mark in years he is inclined to be dubious, And yet 1t Is a we'll known fact that the Brazilian cocoanut palm frequently lives as long as 500 or 700 years. It Is asserted that the Arabian date palm lives to, be 200 or 3oO years old too. Near Paisley. Scotland. there still thrives an old oak tree that is known to be over 700 years of age: and there are eight olive trees on the Mount of Olives, near Jerusalem, which are known to have been fiourishinx as far back as 109s. Records show, that the yew trees at Fountains Abbey. York shire. were old at the time the abbey was built. which, was in the year fis9, yet these are stiIl living. There are California redwoods that have with stood the onrush of time so we'll as to be manifold centenarians and still on their feet. The baobab trees of Africa have been computed in some instances to be over 5000 years old. and the de- ctduous cypress at Chapultepec is con- sidered to be even older than that. Humboldt said that the Dracaena Draco at Orotava, on Teneriffes was one of the oldest inhabitants of the earth. Ea

 Mir. Brayan says he thinks reason able rates Ere those which would main tain a railroads stocks at par. asr suming that the road is honestly capi- talized and managed. But neither MT Bryan nor any other man endowed with only human powers could determine schedule of rates that would produce that result, even approximately. The fact which Mir. Bryan and so many others seem to ignore is that railroad ing is a precarious business. It is doubtful if there is any other business dependent on so many unforeseeable contingencies In most of the new and in many of the old railroads there Is necessarily an element of speculation that nobody has learned thus far to eliminate

BOYCOTT HEARING
DEFENSE OBJECTS TO COURTS
 JURISDICTION.
Counsel for Buck Stove and Range Company Say that This Case is Most Important Litign-
 ton of Century.

Washington, Nov.&19.-Objection to the Jurisdiction of the court by the defense and a vivid outlining of the machinery of boycott by the platntin. through their respective counsel. were the features in the argument on the application in the Supreme Sourt ol the District of Columbia of the Buck Stove and Range Company of St. Louis for a temporary injunction against the continuance of boycott of It's products by the American Fed- eration of Labor. The whole theory of the defense is that the right to boy colt or strike is legal for fndivfduaas and. therefore, legal for combinations.
 Mir. ]. J. Darlington, cousel Tor the Buck Stove and Range Company. de- cIared that the case was the most in- portant litigation of the kind for third of a century. the boycott cases hitherto tried having been merely io- cal in application. He pointed out that the case Is that of 100000 adult men engaged in mechanic arts who were banded together to act as one man in withholding their own patron age and that of. all friends and sym patl,izers from single industrial en- terprise, the business of which they desired to crush and destroy, unless ffirty-ffve metal polishers out of 15o .Ynployes of the Buck Stove and Range Company are permitted to decide tn e number of hours any of them should work.
 Mir. Darlington argued that 1,ess,s6s of the men engaged in this boycott have no personal concern with the hours of labor of the thirty-five metal nolishers, but have simply banded to- rether under agreement to attack any employer who refuses to allow his employees to dictate his mode or ousl- ness.
 If the right to boycott is legal for q conlbination because the right to withoId patronase is legal for an ln- dlvidual, Mr. Darlington pointed out that since nnany refuse to sell to any 1erson. with or without motive. ne nav combine with any number oi tne rersons for the same purpose. There Fore. he contended. the vast comni- nation now before the court might re- fuse to employ a single person select ad as a victim. that it might refuse fo deal with hfin or any one who oeals w,th him or to sell him anything even The necessities of life, or to patronize any persons who might have business intercourse with him.

 New york. Nov. 19.-Daniel Guggen- helm, President Of the American Smelt- ing and Refining Company. in state n1ent issued here, said that his com nanv is cooperating with the govern fnent to meet the unusual demands for currency.
 He said that the plants of the com pany were being operated day and night to expedite the refining of gold and silver. Regarding the general at titudef of the smelting company toward the money market. MT. Guggenheim said:
 'HThe value of the gold and silver produced by the American Refining and Emeltfng Company has been running in excess of S100, 100000 for year. For some time the refineries have been run ming night and day for the benefit of the government and the business of the country. The smelting company regularly deposits it's gold product with the government daily and has not sought to obtain any premium on this
 Tn this matter, we have pursued the same policy that we did in 1893. Then. too, there was a premium on currency but we turned our government checks over to the banks and allowed them to collect them without trying to profit ourselves by the premium. 1t is right to so act and the banks appreciate 1t"

FAVOR coLoRED DRESS SUITS.
In Paris to Effect Change
 From Blaek


 From Black. M Paris, Nov. i9.-For some time past the Brummels of Paris society have been trying to introduce colored dress suits in place of the universal black. This campaign. which hitherto has re- mained in the domain of theory, seemed to have entered into practical phase at a dress rehearsal of Samson" at the Renaissance Theatre when Henry Bernstein, the author of the play. ap- peared In a brown dress suit. How ever. apparently not liking the conse- quent Nconspicuousness, he wore ordi- nary evening dress at the first night
 The campaign against the universal and funeral black continues. but con- servative men say that 1t will be diffi- cult to change the. custom of wearing black. as that color Is too closely iden- tified with the modern state of mind.
 Others suggest changing not the col or but the shape of the evening dress coat. abolishing the swallow tails.
