PROFIT IN PAPER MONEY.

There are millions of dollars of
currency outstanding, lost, destroyed
or being preserved as souvenirs which
the federal government never will be
called upon to redeem, according to
compilation Of figures by the regis
ter Of the treasury. This indicates
that the government makes a big
profit on its issue of paper money
At the present time s15,232 O93 is out
standing of the issue of fractional cur
rency notes during the Civil war, IA
mlliarly known as "shinplasters." The
total issue of these notes was nearly
1859, 100000 1t is known that many
people are saving samples of them as
relics, and 1t is probable that very
few OF the outstanding $4,000. 900
ever will be presented for redemp-
ton.
OF the nearly 81 1000, 10000 worth
of gold certificates issued during the
Civil war about $4,000 is still out
standing. There is also outstanding
s1,095,000 of the 100000 issue of
gold certificates of the series of 1888.

SNEEzE BREAKS A RIB
Washington Man After Ordinary
Sneeze Has to Call Physician to
Hr Stop the Pain.

Joseph E. Flynn. assistant station
master at Union station. is suffering
from broken rib caused by a sneeze.
While on duty a few nights ago Mr..
Flynn felt an inclination to sneeze.
and. as he had done many times be-
fore. gave way to it, promptly sneez
ing. There followed at once a pain
in his side. The pain grew worse. SO
much SO that an injection of morphine
was necessary to ease it. Physicians
examined Flynn and found a broken
rib.
Flynn is thirty-nine years old, stands
about feet 2, and tips the scales at
200. From his couch in a hospital he
said he had sneezed all of his life.
but never had any bad results from
1t until the rib broke.

Peruvian President Is English.

Senior Guillermo Billinghurst. ex-
mayor of Lima, just elected presi-
dent of Peru. was born of English
parents. who settled in Peru over six
ty years ago. He is native OF africa.
and received his education in Val
paraiso and Buenos Ayres. In 1868.
when his family was practically
ruined by the earthquake, he went to
Iquique and devoted himself with
much success to scientific research
work. His political debute dates back
to 1874. when he was elected secretary
of Iquique province. In that year he
published his book on Municipal Leg
islation in Peru" which has become
the standard book on the subject in
that country.

HOUSE ENTIRELY TOO SMALL
Found There Is Not Desk Room for
the Forty-Two New Men,
bers.

Superintendent Elliott Woods of the
United States Capitol building, after
an examination of the floor of the
house of representatives. has found 1t
practically impossible to make desk
room for the forty-two new members
to be added to the house by the ap-
preaching general elections.
1t is probable some new members
will occupy extra chairs or stools
Provision has been made for the re-
arrangement of the honse chamber
but Mr.. Woods will be unable to make
the permanent changes before the
December session. The new congress
will come into office on March 4, with
the prospect of an extra session next
summer. II no extra session is held
the house chamber will be rebuilt be-
fore the fall session.

WHITE HOUSE TREE PASSES
Silver Maple, rs Years Old, is Re.
moved to Save Others on
Lawn.

Old age and decay have spelled the
passage of one of the stateliest and
most dignified trees on the White
House grounds.
To the left of the Pennsylvania
avenue entrance to the White House
and not far from the executive offices
has stood for the last rs years a fine
old silver maple tree. AS far as could
be learned 1t had no distinguished
pedigree. like some of the trees on
the grounds that have been planted by
presidents. but has stood through
many presidential administrations as
a distinct ornament to the grounds.
Lately 1t became so feeble that the
superintendent of the grounds feared
1t would fall over, and ordered it cut
down. Right next to 1t is young oak
tree which was planted by President
Mckinley and nearby are some jap
anese trees. All of these were in
daily danger from the old maple, so
1T had to go. A younger tree may be
planted in its place and President
Taft may be invited, If he cares to do
So to preside at the planting.

THAT STATUE FOR GEN. LEE
No Other Southern General Has Re-
ceiVed Statuary Recognition at
the Nations Capital.

Southern congressman are kept at
their wits end explaining to their con-
stituents the preponderance Of monu-
ments to Union soldiers in Washing
ton. Except for the statue of Robert
e. Lee, placed in Statuary hall by the
state of Virginia, no southern general
has received statuary recognition in
Washington.
The. other day Congressman w. s.
Howard OF Atlanta. Ca, was taking a
resident of that city to the Capitol in
the street car. AS the car rounded
the curve at the Peace monument
near the foot of the Capitol Repre-
sentative Howard pointed out to his
friend the great statue to Gen. U. S.
Grant being erected in the Botanic
Gardens. His friend looked at the
monument, which covers a large
ground space, and observed:
They ought to put up a statue to
General Lee near by"
We'll. Lee has a statue here and 1t
covers more ground space than any
other statue to human being in the
whole world" replied Representative
Howard.
Il would like to see it. Where is
it?' exclaimed his friend, excitedly,
"Oh, it's over here at 5th and F
streets" replied Mr. Howard. dryly.

ORDNANCE FOR PANAMA.

The ordnance department OF the
army is busily at work in the manu-
facture of ordnance for the Panama
Canal Notifications. This ordnance
includes a number of 14-inch guns
and guns of smaller calibers, mortars
and their carriages. There also is
under way disappearing carriage
for the 16-inch gun built by the ord
nance department some years ago,
which has never been used, 1t having
been kept at the Sandy Hook proving
ground since its successful test. The
law under which this gun was built
specifies that 1t shall be mounted in
the United States. However, a car
,riage is being built for 1t, with the
expectation that congress will author
lie 1t to be mounted in the Canal
Zone
Owing to the delay of congress in
providing funds for the canal fortifi-
cations. these works will not be ready
by the time the canal Is opened 1t
is expected that some of the guns
and their carriages will be sent to
the Canal Zone and mounted in about
six months. but 1t will be impossible
to have all the ordnance ready by
the time the canal is ready for traffic
The 16-inch gun carriage will not be
finished for about two years.

Money for Wedding Presents.

The wedding present of money has
received the stamp of approval and
hereafter it will be perfectly proper
for any one desiring to get rid of the
burden of buying wedding present
to send a check, according to the
Philadelphia Inquirer. A few years
ago no one would have thought OF
giving a sum of money to a bride. but
it's convenience and practicability was
at once manifest and it was permitted
when coming from a near relative
But it was not until couple of years
ago that it received the necessary
hallmark of royal approval to make
1t generally acceptable to society.
The approval came from no less a
person than Queen Alexandra. who
sent a friend check for 800. Her
majesty probably did 1t because she
was in deep mourning and could not
do any personal shopping, and SO. to
avoid sending gift that might be
duplicated. she forwarded check.
Since then brides and bridegrooms
have had reason to rejoice. and at
every big wedding nowadays the item
check figures frequently in lists of
wedding presents.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-11-02

hanging is a barbarism that should be
done away with.
Recent combinations of sentences
of death by the president have served
to bring strongly before the public the
brutishness of penalty which the
statutes of the District and of many
of the states require for certain
crimes.
The sentiment against hanging is
very strong in the District. Despite
the fact that question of capital
punishment in the District is replete
with peculiar problems with which
some of the states have not to con-
tend, there are many people at the
capital who would abolish the death
penalty altogether.
To those people. of course, the elm
tnation of hanging, whether to be re-
placed by less harsh punishment
like imprisonment for life, or to give
way to electrocution. seems a consum-
nation worth the best efforts of the
community. An overwhelming ma
5ority of those opposed to capital pun
ishment would supplant hanging with
electrocution, only a few taking the
position of no compromise in abolition
of the death penalty.
Besides those people, there are
thousands who believe that the death
penalty should be retained as the in
evitable reward of certain crimes. yet
realize. that the revolving scene of a
hanging. no, matter how conducted. is
distinctively detrimental to the peo-
pie, painful to their sense of decency
and propriety. creative of disorderly
imaginings and often intellectually
hurtful through the unhealthful noto-
riety 1t confers upon both the crime
and the criminal whose fault is ex-
plated in this manner.
Henry E. Davis, former district at
torney and one of the leading criminal
lawyers of the District. said the other
day that he thought electrocution
ought by all means to be substituted
for hanging.
"Electrocution would be less sensa-
tional and more humane" Mr.. Davis
stated.
A. Leftwich Sinclair, prominent
attorney and chairman of the law and
legislation committee of the chamber
of commerce. stated he is opposed to
hanging. which he characterized as
barbarous.
"I am in favor of substituting cleo
trocution for hanging" Mr.. Sinclair
said. 1T is less revolving, it is more
humane and 1t would be a greater
deterrent to crime"
Many other attorneys of the District
have expressed similar opinions.

None Too Honest.

ChaunGey Depew was discussing in
Washington the methods of a certain

debutante, as they sat on the beach

GUARDS FOR MCLEAN TOMB.

On duty in Rock Creek cemetery
at the tomb of Mrs. John R. Mclean,
who died at Bar Harbor September
8, is an armed guard to insure pro-
lection against marauders.
A rumor that Mr.. Mclean insisted
on having the night guard stationed
and locked inside the tomb is denied.
however He is simply hired to
keep guard at the tomb entrance.
Employees at Rock Creek cemetery
recount the fact that Mr.. Mclean
kept guards at the tomb Of his father
and mother for several years after
their death, although there has never
been any attempt to despoil or rob
any Of the tombs in the cemetery for
many years.

ARTIFICIAL HAY DRYING.

That 1t is commercially profitable
to dry hay by artificial means. thus
eliminating the large waste due to
damage by rain in the fields after cut
ting, is the belief of officials Of the
department of agriculture.
For two or three years past experts
of the office OF farm management
have been conducting experiments in
southeastern Missouri with alfalfa
nay, putting 1t through a kiln-drying
process. For a time doubt existed as
to whether hay could be dried in this
manner on commercially profitable
basis. While the work of experiment
tation has not been concluded. off,
cials are satisfied that kiln-dried hay
would save the farmers of the coun-
try an enormous amount of money
annually.
The department has not formally
announced the exact location Of the
governments plant 1t Is in the
alfalfa belt Of southeast Missouri and
was under water for a considerable
period of time during the recent
flood. Since that time, however. it
has been put into commission once
more. 1t is expected that formal
bulletin dealing with the experiments
will be published by the department
in the near future.
Hay artiflcially dried is subjected
to great heat for a short time and
comes through the process retaining
rich green color. The juice is
forced out and the larger part Of it
