NOT SUCCESSFUL
More Fishermen Out Than
in Former Years But
Catch is Small
REPAIRS MADE TO
FORT HOSPITAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DELAWARE CITY, May 24.-This
week will mark the close of the her
The season has not been as success
ful as some years.
More fishermen were out this year
than in past years on account Of the
good prices, but the catch to each
boat was small. Several years ago it
was possible for one boat to return
with as many as 1000 herring after
one days fishing. but this year the
highest catch was 1,1OO in one day.
Until recently fish traders from
West Chester. Oxford, Lancaster,
Kennett Square, Chester, New Castle
and Wilmington came here in their
wagons to buy the fresh fish on the
wharves. Owing to the falling off in
the catch there are not so many deal
ers now.
Fishermen are expecting a good
sturgeon season on account of the
good price offered for caviar.
Joseph Anderson has been making
repairs to the hospital at Fort Mott

Talks On Banking
When You BOrrorU Money

In the course OF human events it be-
comes necessary for most people to
borrow money. Business men who
can make ten per cent or more out
Of trading find it profitable to borrow
in order to carry on business on a
larger scale, discount their bills and
carry complete stocks Others find
il desirable at times to borrow for var
iOus purposes, and some find il neces-
sary to borrow because they have
either failed to save, or have been un-
able to save and are confronted with
an eXigenCy that requires money.
Should you at any time find your
self in such condition, do not bor-
row from your friends. go to your
bank. That is what banks are for.
They live by their loans. and no
banker will refuse a loan that meets
certain requirements, and is in his
estimation good. It is proposed in the
next two or three talks on banking to
tell you what the banker wants to
know when you offer him your note.
Whether the loan is large or small
the same rules apply
In the first place the banker will, eX-
pect You to be depositOr Most banks
make il a rule to lend to only those
who are customers. and customers
means depositors. If you favor the
banker with your account. giving him
profit from the use Of your money
he will he glad to reciprocate and lo'
you use his money when you need it
and offer the proper security. The rule
is we'll established to lend in the pro-
portion of not over five to one; that
is. if you keep a balance Of 500, the
banker would lend you $500 if he
thought well of your credit standing
The greatest mistake business men
make is to keep little or no balance
in the bank, and then expect the bank
to accommodate them with loans
Take an actual case that happened
recently within the experience of the
writer Of these talks. A business mar
wanted a note of 500 discounted tC
meet his payroll. The banker knew
him. His moral standing was good
In looking UP the account his bal
ance was but fifty cents Now what
did that indicate? lust this: That
the wOuld-be bOrrowerer had trusted
everybody until his capital was or
his books here. there. and everywhere
and he was not collecting his bills. HI

OUR OLD PRIVATE COINAGE.
Territorial Gold Pieces minted by Pri

Territorial Gold Pieces Minted by Pri-
vate Assayers.
The old territorial gold pieces, while
they never had the sanction of the
United States government, passed at
different periods as legal tender in that
they were accepted as a medium of ex-
change between buyer and seller
Territorial gold pieces were struck
by private assayers in Georgia in 1890
in North Carolina from 1881 to 1850
In California from 1S49 to 1850 in
Utah in 1S40, 1850 and 1860, in Oregon
In 1S49 and in Colorado in 1860 and
1861.
There was nothing illegal in their is
sue, and the procedure was considered
in no sense as counterfeiting. In fact.
it was not until 1864 that a federal
statute was passed forbidding a con-
tinuation of the practice
e. H. Adams Of New York told an In
teresting story about how this statute
came about.
"a man named Gruber, he said,
Senior Of the firm Of Clark, Gruber
2 Co. of Denver. had a large private
mint, and one day he showed Salmon
z. Chase, who was secretary of the
treasury from 1861 to 1864. a fine
twenty dollar gold piece of his own
coming
'N1r. Chase told him that It was a
counterfeit, whereupon Mr. Gruber re
marked that it was no such thing; that
there was no law preventing the issue
of such coins.
Then I shall see that there is one,
Mr.. Chase replied, and he made good
his prediction That conversation took
place in 1861. and in 1864 the law was
passed
Mr. Adams explained why these coins
had been privately struck. He said that
IN those days gold III the shape Of dust
or nuggets. was used for money I'm the
states where ii was mined This neces-
Stated a great deal Of trouble Scales
had to be used whenever purchase
was made. and then there was always
the question Of how ii could best be
carried
So to expedite matters the assayers
adopted the custom &c taking the gold
and making it MP into their own coins
That certain or these We're full value,
Mr. Adam added was shown by the
fact that au several occasions when
they were redeemed for official money

JOurnGymen BARRIERS Make
Demands.
BOSS BARRIERS OBJECT.

Unless all signs fail there might
be BARRIERS strike called in Ham
ilton in the near future. Some
timd ago the Journeymen BARRIERS
Union through its members adopted
new working schedule which they
presented to the proprietors of the
union shops throughout the city
and suburbs. Some of the proprie
tors are objecting to the new sched-
ule and have made the rounds of
the union shops with petition.
This petition has been signed by
some of the bosses but not by all
Of them A meeting was held a
few nights ago by the bosses in an
uptown shop and the new working
demands were thoroughly gone
over.
The new schedule pertains as we
are told to holidays. Heretofore
the shops have remained open on
the night before the holiday until
10 O'Clock, and then would open
again in the morning of the holiday
and remain open until II o clock
noon. The Journeymen BARRIERS
now want to close the shops at
Z o clock and when such holt
days fall on Saturday or Monday
remain epen until 10 o'clock.
When holidays come in the middle
of the week they want the shops
to remain closed all day
Some of the bosses are strenuous
ly objecting to the new schedule
and say that they will remain open
no matter what the journeymen do.
If the journeymen stand by their
demands mixup IS likely to occur
in the barber fraternity of Hamil-
ton The boss BARRIERS are object
ing on account of closing their
shops at seven instead of eight a
few months ago, and that Il is ask
ing too much in so short time Of
course the journeymen don look
at it the same way and therefore
might bring on the clash. None
of the delegates Of the BARRIERS at
tended the meeting Of the central
body Tuesday night and nothing is
known abont the matter only what
has been told by the bosses.
II their demands are refused and
the strike occurs the journeymen
will then have their delegates at
tend the next meeting Of the cen
trail body and ask for their assis-
tance. What will then be done can
not yet be told, but 1t is certain
that the central body will call the
attention of the journeymen BARRIERS
to the action they took last Labor
Day in voting to not march in the
parade.
