William WINDOWS Story Of the Way
In Which He Routed Flnanciers

About a year before William Win

cabinet, returned to public life at the
head of the treasury department In

1885, / met him in the office of COM

bankers of the United States in the
late spring of 1872
The senator laughed heartily.
why" he said, that plan was due
entirely to one of those curious
chances, these accidental discoveries,
out of which sometimes great triumphs
come.
You may remember that the con-
gress which sat in the last months OF
President Hays's administration pass
ed an act authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to refund a very large
issue of bonds which bore five per
cent. interest with new issue bear
ing only three and half per cent. 1t
was legislation that caused the bank
ers of the country to be very much put
out. They wanted the refunding bonds
to bear at least four per cent. inter
est and, if possible, four and half
per cent, and because they did not
get what they wanted they began to
surrender circulation in very large
amounts, so large, in fact, that there
was danger of a great stringency in
the money market. AS l now recall 1t,
they surrendered about thirty millions
of circulation in the course of four or
five weeks, and the situation was
made all the more serious by the ap-
parent intention of the bankers to sell
the government bonds which had been
returned to them by the treasury
when they surrendered circulation.
Consequently, President Hayes, not de-
string to have the money market
greatly upset and the bonds probably
deprecated, vetoed the refunding bill,
and great was the joy of the bankers,
who felt that they had won the vic
tory.
"a few weeks later, when / became
secretary of the treasury, one of the
important matters that speedily came
before me was those five per cent.

NEW WAY TO WASH CLOTHES
An Ingenious Australian Cleaner
Works on the Principle of a
Coffee Percolator.

The ingenuity of an Australian in
ventor has applied the principles of
the steam coffee percolator to wash
ing machine, much to the delight of
the housewife of the South Seas, says
Vice-Consul Henry B. Baker in re-
port to the bureau of manufactures.
The device has been exhibited in
Melbourne and consists of a copper
cone which is placed in the wash
boiler. The steam forces the soapy
water through the apex in the same
way as in the coffee percolator and the
process goes on until the linen is
spotless. 1t is said to save hard work
and wear on fine fabrics.

"As a member of the staff of Gen.
George C. Meade, l came to know full
well that at times-in fact, great

peppery disposition to all with whom
he came in contact, so that many of

Gen. George H. Sharpe, who, after the
war, was more or less prominent for
years in national politics in the east.
But / am going to tell you of little
incident that will give you some in
sight of the true Meade that lay un-
derneath the coat of irritation that he
SO otter wore.
after the Army of the Potomac had
taken up winter quarters along the
banks of the James river in the latter
part of 1864, there appeared at head
quarters one day two Englishmen who
were recognized authorities in British
military circles. They carried let
ter from Lord Lyons, then British
minister at Washington. In it the
minister explained that its bearers
were friends of his, that they had
come to this country for the special
purpose of studying the movements of
the Army of the Potomac, and that he
Lord Lyons-would take it as high
personal favor If such assistance as
was reasonable and proper should be
given to them in their study.
Gen. Grant received the two
strangers very courteously, told them

they should be extended at the rate of
three per cent. and would permit such
an agreement to be stamped upon the
face of the bonds, why. then, the
bonds would not be liable to immedi-
ate redemption.
Nov, you know the banks must
have government bonds in order to
have circulation and the bankers,
quick to see that | had them, fairly
tumbled over one another in their
eagerness to have their five per cent.
bonds extended at three per cent, or
at a rate one-half of one Ter cent.

Hayes into vetoing the bill authoriz-

half per cent. bonds.
at was truly laughable. and, do you
know, practically all of the five per
cent. bonds were refunded in this
manner, and all because of that hap
py chance thought of mine. And as a
finishing touch to the complete rout of
the bankers, congress, at It's next ses-
sion, passed a law forbidding the
banks to surrender currency in excess
of three million dollars a month. The
banks could no longer dump their cir
culation into the United States treas
ury in order to frighten the govern

This was the true situation. There

church, then in the lower part of the
city and the residence of the bishop,
was in a most prosperous condition.
and 1t was appealed to for help by St
Peters. The assistance prayed for
was given, and as a security for the
money loaned, st. Peters turned over
to ST. Patrick's wild piece of land
beyond the northernmost bounds of
the city and seemingly of little value.
This land had been given to st. Pc
