FLIGHT" MARK ON COINS.
Government Stamp Mutilates IN
derweight Gold Pieces.

NEW YORK. May "A twenty dollar
gold piece illustrating the new plan
adopted by the subtreasury for marking
light gold coin was shown by Farran
Zerbe, president of the American Numis-
matte Association. yesterday. Instead of
the small letter - which the subtreas-
ury officials formerly stamped up light
weight gold pieces. the new double eagle
shows a very large letter Il" stamped in
the center of the coin with such force
that the reverse bulges prominently and
renders such coin not only easily iden-
titled. but absolutely worthless for pur-
poses of general circulation.
This piece was one of a lot representing
$500 of light weight gold pieces returned
to IA Columbus (Ohio) bank from a con-
signment to the New York subtreasury
of $4,000.
Formerly the small letter identifying "a
piece of inferior weight did rot preclude
the coin from once more entering the
channels OF trade, but so complete is the
mutiIatiOn by this new stamp that it is
certain never to be exchanged except at
its bullion value.

Colonel Henry Watterson. after a
careful survey of the situation, SAID
IN 1895:
HThe American people win never csa-
sent to substitute the republic of
Washington, Of Jefferson, Of JaelSsSas
for the republic Of an Aitseld. TIL
man or . Bryan"
Colonel Watterson was a true prOph-
ct. He knew the impulse. and desire
Of the people. and his Judgment waa
completely vindicated BY the verdlck
Of two consecutive campaigns for thA
presidency. The people held fast o.
the ideals of Washington, JefrerzOa
and Jackson They spurned the baaa
political standards Of Altgeld. Tilinan
and Bryan and elected to the presidea-
cy a worthy successor to the men OE
heroic stature who had steadfastly
upheld the dignity and discharged tie
duties Of that great ONCE.
Colonel Watterson's prophecy wEBl
hold good this year, as 1t did in lS9sI
and 1900 Bryan has not changed.
The national conscience has not chang
ed. The people have not changed
The ethical principles and the party
policies at issue in 1896 are at stahn
in the present campaign Bryan
stands for the same violent influences.
the same ruinous policies, the sama
discreditable purPc1-s, that he repre-
sented twelve years ago. His candE-
dacy is a challenge and an affrcnt %
the conservative, constructive forces
Of our common citizenship and viii bs
rebuked as Indignantly as It was n hlE
former campaigns.
The Watserson prophecy was no1
cast for 1896 or 1900 alone, but FOR AIN
time and all Bryans II was lnsRireE
by profound belief IN the patriotism
and rectitude Of the people To dcubf
that It win be fulfilled this year as
completely as 1t was twice befCTe
would be questioning the genuinencz
Of Colonel Watterson's gifts as q
prophet and assuming that the peogie
have turned traitors to themselves.

LABORS OF COMMITTEE
L. ARE NOW OVER
as.Es,.s.
NO OTHER CHARTER AMEND.
MENTS ARE PROPOSED BY
THE CoUNcILMEN.

At the conclusion Of the meeting Of
the charter amendment committee
last night, held in the city hall, the
announcement was made that the
committee had adjourned not to meet
again, and that the decision had
been reached not to recommend any
more amendments.
This means that the work of the
committee is over, and that aside
from the seawall amendment, already
adopted by the council, that the
committee viii have no other amend
tnent to recommend,
Half dozen proposed amend
ments have been suggested and dis
cused and it was deemed certain that
some Of them at least would be
recommended favorably
The committee has worked hard all
summer and autumn long, and has
spent many hours in its labors. The
seawall amendment alone was a
monumental work, laborious and ex-
acting.
The members of the committee
were councilmen Logan, Leinenweb-
er, Robinson, Kaboth and Hansen,
Evidently they arrived at the conclu-
sion that other amendments would
not be necessary.

PAIN AND PLEASURE.
The Sensations That Come When q
Person Is Hanged.

This Is the way Rev. J. 7. Mann in
Spare Moments describes the way Il
feels TO be hanged:
AT Fort Barrancas, Fla, on April 4.
1868, was hanged as a Confederate
spy. spent four minutes physically
and spiritually between earth and
heaven. Then a Yankee sergeant be-
lleving me TO be the wrong man. cut
me down.
My first sensation when the barrel
was kicked from under my feet was
that steam boiler inside me was
about to explode. Every vein and
blood vessel to and from my heart
seemed charged with an oppressive
fullness that must find an avenue Of
escape. The nervous system through
out its length was tingling with
painful. pricking sensation the like Of
which | never felt before or since.
Then followed the sense Of an expl0-
sion. as II q volcano had erupted. This
seemed to give me relief, aud the pain
gave way to a pIeasurable feeling, one
very desirable could 1t be secured with
out death. With this sensation light
broke in upon my sight, light Of
milky whiteness, yet. strange to say,
so transparent that it was easier to
pierce with the eye than the light Of
day. Then came into my mouth a
taste Of sweetness the like of which ]
have never since known. And l felt
myself moving on, with a conscious
ness Of leaving everything behind.
Then heard the sweetest music, and
it seemed that more than thousand
harps led In each part. accompanied by
myriads Of voices.
And the sensation Of coming back to
life after | had been cut down was
Just as painful as the first feeling Of
hanging. It was acute torture. Every
nerve seemed to have a pain OF its
own. My nose and fingers were seats
OF the most excruciating agony. In
half an hour the pain was all gone, but
would not go through the experience
again for the wealth Of the Indies

Russian Marriages.

The celebration of a Russian mar
riage sometimes extends over three
days. At the wedding festivities the
bride Is expected to dance with the
men one after another until she drops
with sheer fatigue. 1t Is matter Of
pride with her to keep going as long
as possible. and 1t is not unusual to
find a bride dancing gayly after three
days and nights Of vigorous frolic
When a girl is dancing with man she
always holds bis pipe. 1t would be
regarded as extremely rude If a man
should continue to smoke his pipe in
such circumstances.-London Tit-Bits
