magicians come on board a ship and

Chinese would ask spectator to
place coin IN the latter's hand. The
Chinaman would close the fingers one
after another over the piece of money

the closed fist Of his subject" would
in some mysterious manner extract
the coin. | have had this trick work

Excess Cash Fares Are illegal.

HELENA, Nov. l5.-The additional
% cents, which by recent order OF
the Northern Pacific was attached to
all cash fares exceeding two dollars
on passenger trains, has been de.
clared illegal by Attorney General
Galen. Some time ago passenger
officials of the road presented to the
state railroad commission a supple.
ment of passenger rates in which the
ruling was made that an excess of ten
cents might be charged on cash pas
senger fares of less than two dollars,
and an excess of % cents on fares ex-
ceeding that amount, these sums to be
refunded upon the presentation of the
cash fare coupons within 80 days after
issue.
The commission immediately in
formed the company that the excess
charge of p cents is illegal. Passen-
ger officials replied that they had
been informed by counsel for the road
that such is not the case, and that
they would enforce the new order.
The railroad commissioners then re-
ferred the matter to the attorney gen.
eral.
The head of the state legal depart
ment ruled that the charge lie illegal,
as the legislature has provided for q
three-cent passenger fare rate, with no
excess greater than ten cents. The
attorney general also ruled that the
requirement of the company that re-
bate checks or slips be presented within
80 days is in accord with the regula-
tions of the commission, and can be
changed only in the manner reqired
by law

FURRY HAS PASSED.
Issue Of Government Securities
Solves Financial Problem.

NEW YORK. Nov. 18.-The announce.
ment OF the issue of $50, ,00O, 900 in
Panama bonds and sl00, 100000 OF
one.year treasury certificates bearing
three per cent interest was the chief
topic in financial circles today. The
short.term certificates were most
talked of because of their novelty.
It is the general opinion that the
two, and especially the certificates,
will draw much money from small
boards, as was the case of the popu-
ar loan of 1898. Some bankers here
believe that the issue of the certificates
will make it unnecessary to obtain
more gold. If the premium on cur
rency is once broken, it will change
conditions of foreign exchange so that
the profit on gold exports will be re-
duced or wiped out.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Before the
business day OF the treasury had end.
ed many applications had arrived for
the new certificat of indebtedness.
The interest on $50 certificate will
amount to II. cents q month, and q
holder may easily obtain credit for
the amount of interest he is entitled to
at his bank. Assurance was given
today that the gold reserves OF the
government were behind these certifi.
Gates, and this fact, added to their in.
terest- bearing feature, will make them
