COIN SWEATING.
An illegal Practice Which Has Faller
Into Disuse.


Into Disuse.
Closely allied to the making OF cOun.
terfeit coins and usually combined
with that nefarlous trade is what is
known as "swenting,' which requires
considerable skill to accomplish sue
cessfully. A rubber mold is used, into
which gold coin to be sweated is In
troGuced and held with clip.
Copper wires having been adjusted,
the coin is immersed in bath Of
cyanide of potassium and M electric
battery set going. The action of the
electricity upon the coin in the acid
uniformly sweats the metal-that is to
say. causes SO much of 1t to become
detached. This process is gone through
with large number of coins, and the
gold deposit thus obtained Is extracted
from the acid.
1t is for tile purpose of detecting the
existence of such reduced coins that
bankers weigh gold coins in a balance,
and If one is in the scale 1t will imme-
diately be shown by the indicator. The
light coin is then taken out, and what
ever the shortage represents that
amount the customer will have to
make up or be fined.
But, all things considered, sweating
is but poor business. says II. L..
Adam in his interesting book. "The
Story of Crime and evidently 1t is
thought SO by the criminal fraternity,
for 1t has dwindled to a mere nothing.
A sovereign weighs 12327447 grains,
and the limit of error in the weight is
2 of a grain, from which 1t may
readily be gathered that sweating cam

The Manchester friends of Sena.
tor Clark will be delighted to know
that his illness in Chicago is not as
serious as the reports in some of

Manchester. j: Earlxille. 4.a

The less said about Fridays game
the better, but it is the sad duty of
the fans to admit most inglorious
defeat. which came as a result of
individual ball and no particular
team work. Grandstand plays were
made and then the rankest sort Of
errors and a. series of instances
where the Manchester. boys lost
their heads and went up in the air.
TIE first three innings were ciphers
for both teams. In the first half Of
the fourth, Earlville brought In two
runs through an error Of q fielder
and again in the eighth, our neigh
bors made some hits off of Cobb
and the score was made four.
Allen Of Dyersville, who whirled
the sphere for Earlville, has a very
speedy delivery He has no spectac,
ular motion, which is meant, per.
haps, to make the batter. nervous,
but throws a ball which makes a
few million revolutions per second
while chasing itself from the box
to the plate, where it seemed to pass
into the hands Of Stoner, with the
batter still swinging like wind
mill for it. Allen delivered with
much force and control and played
"a hard, steady game. Stoner is we'll
known here. He catches scientifcal-
ly and keeps up persistent head
work game. Earlyille's support
was good, and their batting heavy.
About q dozen hits were secured
from Cobb, and some Of them rather
airship affairs, with no special DIES.
tination.
Cobb Of Independence, whom
Manager B. w. Green's secured for
the game, had been playing in the
Southern Illinois league. He has
some clever plays and famed a
dozen men. but Earlville hit him
and hit him hard. Only two hits
were made off Allen. Spud Malven
made sacrifice play in the fourth
inning, to allow Durham base,
and German made a spectacular
catch at second with one hand,
holding a speedy liner, which re-
tired the side. Errors were numer.
GUS, but it was hardly comedy.
