NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Joseph
stayed away from school for a
week, and his teacher was greatly
puzzled. Joseph was an Italian
boy, born on the lower East Side,
of parents who had come from the
old country. He was a big boy

dies. Inasmuch as other children
said Joseph was not sick and did
not seem to be at home at all,
the teacher could not imagine what
was the matter.
When Joseph returned to
school one morning he was asked
where he had been.
Il ran away, because my father
said he was going to lick me-" re-
piled Joseph.

TO STOP GOLD COINAGE.
Certificates to Be Issued for Bullion
and Foreign Coin.

Coinage of gold in the United States
will be suspended for an indefinite period
IL plans now forming In the Treasury
Department are adopted. The idea is to
issue gold certificates for all gold bullion
and foreign coin turned into the minis
instead of coming them into eagles and
double eagles. IL Is understood that
Treasurer McClung in his annual report
will indorse the plan. which was origi-
mated by A. Piatt Andrew. now assistant
secretary OF the Treasury, when he was
director OF the mint.
Two reasons for such a step are pointed
out. The first is to save from 100000 to
100000 a year In mint expenses. The
second is to stop coming gold at the ex-
pense of the United States for the con-
venience % foreign money markets.
which use II for the settlement of COM
mercial balances.
The rate at which American-coined gold
is exported is well illustrated by the
situation which now confronts the Treas
ury. In spite Of the fact that more than
81, 10000 in gold was coined during
August, the mint at Denver will be
started up next week TO turn out gold
coins at the rate Of $4O0, 1000 a day. the
Philadelphia mint will start coming gold
In October and the San Francisco mint is
now making eagles at the rate Of 100000

ROADS MAINTAINED.

ports to the War Department that the

ton to the maintenance of the splendid

constantly over these roads, as well as
the extraordinary rainfall in the spring

usual. The total charges on that ac-
count during the past fiscal year were
$1,S3O14 for labor and material
The park commission is considering
what further steps. IL any, shall be taken
to protect the park from the trespassing
or livestock. Action has been suspended
IN the hope that the counties or civil
districts OF George through which most
of the park roads run might pass a

solve the problem.

the damage done to the park by the cy-

Contracts have been made for 40 cast

ATLANTA, Ga, September 3.-Thomas
E. Watson was howled down at the
Auditorium by an audience Of 5000 peo-
pie when he began an attack on former
Gov. Hoke Smith last night.
Watson was so overcome by the hos
tile demonstration that he tainted. and
was carried from the platform. After
being taken into the air, he soon re-
vived. and seemed none the worse for
his experience.
"World Plunging Hellward."
In beginning his speech Mr.. Watson,
after ''squaring" himself with the church
folk, on what he termed their miscon-
ceptions of his views as to foreign mis-
sions and adequate pay for ministers.
Watson devoted himself to politics, and
finally came to the real purpose of his
discourse, the. unfolding of a plan"
whereby the south may rid herself Of
the negro in politics.
THE hour has struck for the south
to say that the fifteenth amendment is
not law and will no longer be respected"
said Mr.. Watson.
Our state legislature must propose an
amendment to our state constitution re-
white face and a set Of tax receipts
are all the requirements that should be
acked of voter"
No Danger of Another War.
Watson declared that now is the time
for the democrats to make the fight, when
the republican party is divided and anx-
ious to rid itself of the negro officeseek-
ers. He told his hearers that there
isn't the slightest donger that the north
and east will fight the south again about
the negro"
He said they realize the blunder they
made in giving the negro the franchise
But even IL they wanted to attack the
south, he said, they would find the west
lined UP with this section because of q
color question out there
Mr. Watson wound up with a criticism
of Hoke Smith, and in this connection
said:
I'VE mean to elect a governor who will
have the backbone to stand for the rights
of the people. The allied democrats and
populists of 1906 mean to punish the
man who broke the solemn contract upon
which he became governor" AZ
He did not detail his plan for punish
ing" Mr.. Smith.

Dew, which. according to the poets. has
always been the favorite beverage of
fairies. is now utilized for the more
prosaic purpose Of shaking the thirst of
the British soldiers at Gibraltar. The
scarcity Of water there has resulted in
the collection of dew by the following
simple method. A large pit is covered
with straw, which. in turn, is covered
with sheet iron. The straw serves as a
heat insulator. and consequently the iron
cools much more rapidly at night than
the surrounding earth. Dew forms upon

SEND FISH ON VOYAGE
n JARS OF OXYGEN
Are Expected to Remain Alive
on Ten-Day Journey From
New York to Germany.

NEW YORK, September 3.-An expert
mental shipment of live fish will be made
Tuesday on an ocean liner. If successful
1t will revolutionize the method Of send
ing live specimens from one country to
another
The New York aquarium is sending a
collection of small fish across the At
lantic at the request of Emil Gundelach
of Gehlberg, Germany. a wealthy man
whose hobby is fish and fishing. The
authorities of the aquarium here and a
number of scientists on both sides of the
Atlantic are watching results and r. c.
Osborne, assistant director at the aqua
rum at the Battery. said that II the
method was successful it meant that the
aquarium here could exchange live speci-
mems with Naples and other far cities of
continental Europe.
The process of shipment consists in
placing the specimens in small jars The
jars are first filled with water and sealed
and inverted in a large tank. They are
then uncovered and tube inserted into
them. Through this tube compressed
oxygen is forced. the fish are put in the
jars, and they are sealed. There is
then believed to be enough oxygen in
the jars to keep the fish alive during the
ocean voyage.
Mr.. Gundelach, who has one of the
finest private aquariums in Europe, has
shipped small fish successfully by this
method on voyages of from two to five
days He visited this country and be-
came satisfied that some of the speci-
mems to be collected here could be sue
cessfully transported across the Atlantic.
He applied to c. III. Townsend, director
of the aquarium, who agreed to supply
enough small fish for an experimental
shipment. Mr.. Gundelach returned to
Germany, and a few days ago arrange
ments were completed for the first ship
ment. There will be fifteen small jars
sent. They will contain specimens of
horseshoe crab. star coral, angel fish and

and they have the jars for the shipment.
We furnish the fish, as we are glad to

scientific shipment of fish. a problem
which had always confronted us. II sue
cessful II means that large fish in oxygen
supplied tanks can be taken in safety
half way around the world, and makes
possible exchange with the aquariums of
Europe"
The fish will go from here to Bremen, a
distance of 1854 nautical miles. requiring
a nine-day voyage. Upon arrival there
they will make land journey of about
900 miles.

method. according to Mr.. Gundelach.

ported to the authorities that most of

tanks well.

May Get Permanent Homes.

It is expected that permanent homes
for some children will result from this
years excursion. One frail little girl
was left at Miss Loves home to remain
until October. in hopes that her health
might be further benefited.
In the party this year were children
ranging in age from four to fourteen.
There were three boys and eleven girls.
B. II. Brietow. superintendent of the
Calvary Sunday school, assisted in plan
ming for the outings. Rev. George w
Hurry, Baptist clergyman ar Stevens
burg. Va gave valuable help at that
end OF tho line in finding desirable homes
for the children. The Southern railway
took care OF the little ones on both trips
by giving a reduced fare.
II Is confidently expected that there
will be twice as many little folks to go
on next years excursion. OF course. this
will depend on how many pennies and
nfckels the Calvary Sunday school chill
dren will be able to contribute next
Children's day.
