CONCERTS CLOSED.
Gable Piano Company Had Success
full Week-Some Bargains Be-
Ing: offered.

The Cable Piano Company has dur
ing the past week given high toned
and exceedingly enjoyable musicals
each night in the store room recently
occupied by Watts Racket Store.
These musicals have been largely al
tended and those who were there ex-
pressed themselves as being highly
pleased with all that they heard.
Owing to the fact that this store
room has been rented by the Bee Hive,
it becomes necessary for the Cable
people to make a change and rather
than move their pianos to some other
stand they have decided to offer some
unusual bargains in what they have
on exhibit here in Newberry IN order
to save the expense and trouble Of
taking the instruments to any place.
Messrs. Wallace and Kennertv have
expressed themselves as being much
pleased with reception given them
and their pianos by the people Of
Newberry, and they are also as we'll
pleased with tie business prospects
before them.

HOMEMADE COPPER MONEY.
Coinage of a Blacksmith In Colonial
Days Now Valuable.

If that Connecticut blacksmith OF
Colonial days. John Higley, could
hcve seen one Of his muoh-berated
@orne" t!;ree-pence pieces Of home
manufacture bring $275 at coin sale
in this city the other day he would
have noted with great satisfaction, no
doubt that the injunction engraved
upon one of his coins-"Value me
as you please'-had been interpreted
more liberally than he could have an
ticipated, says the New York Sun.
Completely oHtclassed by the many
splendid examples of die cutting dis
posed of at the same time, this crudely
engraved piece of worn copper exclted
n"re attention tI:an any Of It's preten-
4ious associates. The principal de-
sign. deer. WAS not much better than
the caricatlrrc Of that animal to be
found ON any sehoolboy's slate, and

the punctuation of the legends was
executed with a fine disregard for all
rules, a period having been carefully
placed after each word.
The coin in question, which was
the first American-made copper coin
to pass in this country as cur
rencv, was struck from homemade
dies. and ON the diverse showed a
deer standing" to The left. Above the
animal is a small crescent within
plain circle, which is broken at the
bottom by scrollwork enclosing the
numerals "III." Around the border
is the legend, "Value. Ne. AS. You.
Please" with a hand pointing to the
word "Value." On the reverse is a
large Broadax surrounded by the in
scription ait the border, ~. Cut. MY.
Way. Through" This variety IS un-
dated, but is thought to have been
issued in 1887, 1873, or 1879.
American numismatics do not EN-
brace a more interesting series OF
coins than those struck by Hlgley,
although detailed information re-
garding his operations are not avail
able. From what can be Learned he
was a blacksmith, and in 1737 pur-
sued his trade at the town Of Granny,
Conn.,, nearby which place were To-
Gated some of the first copper mines
to be worked by Europeans in this
country.
In those days a multitude of COM
modiIties had to do service as a cir
culating medium, from ''muskett bull
let's of a full boare," at a farthlng
each, down to tobacco at two shlEllngs
to the pound. Gold, silver and cop
per currency was scarce, and even
when obtainable represented such a
variety Of values that much confusion
in handling it was experienced by the
colonials.

HARTMAN ON EDUCATION.
Declares High School Boy Has Best
Training For Railroad Work.

Edward Hartman. the railroad
owner and financi- r, has written for
the Yale Daily News his views on COL
lege draining as preparation for rail-
roading. He said in part:
1.-THE question which You have ask
ed me rs college education am essen
tial or even a valuable preparation
for man who expects to enter rail-
roading?' is "a hard one to answer, and
my answer is both yes and mo- A
college education will be a great help
if the man i'm going through college
has kept the foundations of high
school learning firmly fixed. On the
Other hand, if he has neglected his
handwriting and forgotten his a1ith-
metic in higher mathematics, nothing
could be worse for him. If, however,
he still retains these essentials he has
great advantage in that he has a
broader view of the world and great
E: knowledge Of how Ito learn.
The high school boy has the ad-
vantage in that all the first essentials
Of good work in railroading are at his
fingers ends. For instance, take the
making Of a simple statement.
"A statement should be like a PFC
tlwe, something that can be taken IN
at a glance, not a jumble Of letters
and figures that must be traced care
fully out and the, meaning extracted
from the superfIuous matter. 4 high
school boy will draw such a statement
with perfect accuracy &.1 clearness,
while Young college graduate will
draw lit in such a way that 1t IS a
puzzling scrawl.
Thus. college education is, in the
beginning, a real disadvantage and l
have found that in every case the high
school boy does better work than the
college man for the first few years.
However. as soon as the college man
has overcome these habits and has
gotten back to first principles, he VIII
90 ahead much faster than his less
educated rival. His mind is, natural
ly. better developed and more capa-
bic of graSping THE fine points of the
business. On the other hand, the high
school boy as being younger, is more
adaptable and has not in most cases
rhe Irregular habits Of the college
man.
mo matter how we'll educated a
man may be, he must start IN railroad
ing at the very bottom.
"A railroad man has no fixed
home, he is like a naval officer, al
ways at sea, and, moreover, he IS al
WAYS working to the limit Of his en-
y!urance. 1t is the hardest life l
know. and yet one Of the most pleas
ant. It cultivates an insight. Ii teach
es a knowledge of men and in this
wav is the bert training for ANY pro-
fessiorl
"Pull can never carry a man far IN
railroading. It is hard work and ap-
plication that count. Many a man
starts out we'll, but lacking t.he stick
to-it spirit, which is so pre-eminent-
" essential, falls into obscu,ity.
"My advice to the college man ex-
pecting to enter railroading and hop
ing to have an easy life, is don ";
buI: to the man who does not mind the
hardest kind Of work, who will not
quit under early disappointments and
who wishes to have the most interest
ing sort of career, is, by all means
do. >"

Two changes in the diplomatic service just
announced will be most cordially received. Mr.
Oscar S Straus is to go to COnStantinOple as
Ambassador. succeeding Mr.. John q. A. Leish-
man, transferred to Rome. Mr.. StrauS IS eX-
ceptionally well qualified for diplomatic service
in Turkey at this important crisis in the his
tory of the Ottoman Empire. He has had am
pie experience for the post having served as
Minister to Turkey during Mr.. Clevelands first
administration and having been reappointed as
Minister by President Mckinley in 1897. He
is familiar with political and commercial COndi-
tions in the Levant, and will be an important
factor not only in protecting American interests
under the new regime, but in extending Amerl-
can influence and enlarging our commerce in a
field now 10 he opened more than ever to trade
and industry. Mr.. Straus Will make an aG-
mirable Ambassador.
The promotion of Mr. ". W RoCkhiil now
Minister to China. to the AmbasSadorship at
St Petersburg is a welcome recognition of long
and useful service. Mr.. Rockhil has risen from
the ranks in the diplomatic corps. lie has been
secretary charge d'affaires and minister head
of the Bureau of American Republics and twice
an Assistant Secretary of State. He Is a trained
diplomat and has an exceptional knowledge of
conditions in the Far East His long experience
in China has especially qualified bin for trans
fer To Russia. whose interests in Eastern Asia
are still vital Mr.. Rockhill succeeds at st.

grades and who Is now unfortunately obliged
to retire from the service because of Ill health.

NOT 4 lost ART.

IT, as some would have US believe. civiliza-
ton develops weakIingS. and physical courage
decreases in inverse ratio with the increase or
mental development, the fact Is not apparent
on the surface. 1t is true of course that at
the present time it is not customary for in
dividuals in evening dress to hold their hands
over flaming braziers in order 10 prove their
capacity 10 endure pain but innumerable i'll
stances come TO public attention day after day
of the fundamental heroiSm of the modern indi-
vidua when the emergency calls upon him.
While there are fewer calls upon men in these
days 10 display the physical qualities Of cour-
age, and instances may not be so frequent as
might be led to assume, upon reading the
ancient chronicles, they were in those other
days. the demand for bravery usually finds
some person ready to meet it.
In the distribution Of Carnegie medals many
instances Of heroism have been brought to pub
lie attention Men, women and children have
all proven themselves worthy Of the honor of
wearing these testimonials New York's much
criticised police force. deficient though il may
be in Ihany respects cannot be said to lack in
bravery. Members of the force with insufficient
moral courage 10 Withstand the temptation to
demand pay for protection and privilege will
face death without lnching. Occasions where
it has been necessary to dismiss policemen be
cause of physical cowardice are so rare as 70
be notable.
In many cases, Of course courage is merely
instructive. Many man has distinguished
himself in the performance of some act Of hero
ism the thought of which caused him com
pletely TO collapse when the danger was over.
The same instinct which leads a man to dodge
when about 10 be struck will lead him, without
waitin; to take counsel Of his judgment. to risk
his life in the performance Of some heroic act.
The impulse of courage is just as natural as
fla fDauu of fpar or1I%i
walton may lead individuals to dislike physical
danger. so long there are Carnegie medals to
distribute there viii probably be no lack of per-
sons worthy TO receive them
