THE SILVER DOLLAR.
Our Largest Coin Has Undergone Many
Changes Since 1894.


The silver dollar has undergone
many changes since it was put in cir
culation in 1904. On the face of the
first dollar there was stamped the head
of a young woman turned to the right
and with hair flowing as If she were
in a gale of wind. but in 1896 congress
came to her relief and ordered her hair
to be tied up with a bit Of ribbon. says
the Washington Post. The fifteen
stars which appeared on the first dol
lar were after this reduced to the orig
tnal thirteen. in recognition of the
number Of states.
In 1886 the design was again changed,
and the dollar bore the figure of wo-
man dressed in a flowing garment.
The designer forgot, however, to put
In the thirteen stars, and the coin was
discarded. the new design having the
woman surrounded by stars. Her hair
was defiant and stiff looking, and in
1888 dollars were issued which We're
more artistic in treatment.
The first dollars bearing the motto "In
God We Trust" were coined in April
1864, and in 1878 the era Of the trade
dollar began, lasting just FIVE years
The liberty dollar made its appearance
in 1873. Miss Anna w. Williams, a
public school teacher Of Philadelphia,
sat for the portrait.

outside of his own town.
IN 1882 Grover Cleveland, while may
or of Buffalo, was elected governor Of
New York by plurality of 10000,
due almost entirely to bitter faction
al fight within the Republican party.
The very prodigality of this majority
fastened upon him the eyes Of the
party and caused Daniel Manning. one
Of the shrewdest of the politicians
trained by ,rilden. to fix upon him us
the most available candidate for the
presidential nomination.
More than two thirds of the delegates
voted for Cleveland on the second and
final ballot, and his nomination was
made unanimous on motion of Thomas
A. Hendricks. who was subsequently
named for vice president.

a dark horse won in the Democratic
national convention held at Baltimore
on June /, 1852.
On the thirty fifth ballot fifteen votes
were cast for Franklin Pierce of New
Hampshire. Pierce up to that time
had not been publicly mentioned as a
candidate. but months before 1t had
been planned by Caleb Cushing, Ben
jamin F. Butler and other New Eng
land politicians, in anticipation Of a
deadlock at Baltimore, to spring his
name at the critical moment and trust
to q stampede to insure his nomination.
This plan was rewarded with success.
1Pierce's vote steadily increased till the
forty-ninth and last ballot, when the
convention gave him 2S2 votes, with
only six scattering.
sBucHANAN's NOMINATION
The Democratic national convention
held In Cincinnati on June 2, 1856,
lasted four days. The nomination was
contested for by President Pierce,
buchanan and Douglas. The part
Pierce and Douglas had taken In the
repeal Of the Missouri compromise
weighed against them, while Buchanan,
who had been out OF the country for
several years as minister to England,
had kept aloof from the disputes that
were disrupting his party. Moreover.
1T was urged IN his behalf that he
could carry the admittedly doubtful
state Of Pennsylvania. He led IN ev-
cry ballot to the sixteenth, when he re-
3ceived l6S votes to 121 for Douglas and
six scattering. Then Douglas ended
the battle by telegraphing that as
Buchannn was clenrIy the choice Of the
mn jority Of the delegates he should be
given the necessary twosthirds vote.

"Runt" Walsh, who can play and
has played about every position for
the Phillies, turned down a bonus of
$1,000 offered by Manager Doom if he
would go behind the plate as he did
regularly in the Central league and as
utility man in Philadelphia. Walshs
ambition is to become an intielder. and
rather than jeopardize his chances he
turned down the bonus offer.
Veteran National League Umpire Bob
Emslie is very sensitive about the lack
OF hair on top of his dome. and ChriSty
MathewSon tells an amusing story in
connection with it. Emslie was ulnpir
ing In New York one day. and the
Giants were playing st. Louis. A wild
pitch hit Emslie over the heart. and he
wilted down, unconscious. The play
ers gathered about him. and Breslla-
han, who was catching for st. Louis ut
the time. started to help Bob.
Suddenly the old umpire came to and
started to fight off his first aid to the
injured corps. No one could under
stand his attitude as he struggled to
his feet and strolled away by himself
staggering little and apparently dir
zy. At last he came back and gamely
finished the business of the day.
II never knew Why he fought with
the men who We're trying to help him
until several weeks later, when we
We're playing in Pittsburgh" says
Mathewson. LAS l came out from I'M
der the stand Enslie happened to be
making an entrance.
"'Say, Matty,' he asked me. that
time in New York did my wig come
off? Did Bresnahan take my wig OFF,
"'No, Bob replied. He was only
trying to help YOU
- thought maybe he took it off
while l was out and showed me up be-
fore the crowd he apoogized.

lieve there is a player in either league

youngster tried it he would probably

work. And he called more bad ones on

Manager Mack of the Philadelphia
Americans has released Pitcher Dan
forth to the Baltimore team of the In
ternational league.
There is a rumor now in circulation
along the National league circuit that
Manager Frank Chance is anxious to
trade his veteran pitcher Mordecai
Brown. 1t is said the Chicago Cubs
leader believes change Of scene would
benefit the three fingered twirler. Last
season Brown had trouble with his
salary wing, but the winters rest did
him good.
This spring he has twirled several
clever games. Although he is not the
star he was three or four years ago,
Brown is capable o. twirling good ball.
For many years Mordecai has been
the mainstay Of the Cubs in the box,
and he materially aided the Cubs in
capturing four remnants and two
worlds championships.
