MINING MEN MAY OPPOSE
 MELTING OF COLD COINS
American Mining Congress Al 27th Annual Convention, Will Take
 Up Question

Sacramento, Cal. Aug. 1s.-One of the major problems to come before the 27th annual convention of the American Mining congress, when it meets here Sept. 29 to Oct. 4, is the huge loss the country is said to suf- fer every year through the destruc- ton of gold coins.
 At present no law prohibits the melting down of gold coins and the use of such metal In the manufac- ture of jewelry and in the arts. Pro- ponents of ban on such melting con- tend that five, ten and 20 dollar gold pieces, minted at the expense of the taxpayers, are thus removed from circulation and from the media of exchange, to be turned into luxuries. Their opposition is based principally on the fact that gold has a fixed price, set by the government, unaf- fected by supply and demand, unlike other commodities.
 An anti-destruction law for gold coins will be agitated at the conven- ton and the attitude of the entire mining industry will be sounded out. If the sentiment is favorable, steps will be taken to have such bill pre- sented in congress.

POSTAL SAVING REDUCTION
 NOTED IN SUMMERTIME
General Slackening off Industrial Ac- ti,ity is Reflected in Receipts
 of Government.
BY GEORGE H. MANNING.

BY n. MANNlNS Washington Bureau of N. B. Herald) Washington, D. C., Aug. 16.-Sum- mertime, attended with vacations and
 general slackening off in industrial &C., tivity, caused general reduction in the amount of postal savings deposits at practically all the cities in Connec- ticut during July.
 Waterbury was the only city in the state with postal savings deposits of over S100,000 to register an increase during the month. Waterbury's postal savings deposits on July S1 were s100, 099, an increase of S1,165 which put the brass town just inside the select $100.00O class.
 The deposits at New York City, the largest in the country, amounting to s41,0S2,163 on July 31. showed de- cline of $659,007 during July.

The Genius of Waiter
 Created Wide Beer Trade

London, Aug. 16.-The memory of Benjamin Kenton. the first man who bottled beer successfully for export, was honored at banquet given by the Vintners company here. In solemn silence the company drank to "the immortal memory of our late brother and benefactor, Benjamin Kenton."
 When IS years of age Kenton was apprenticed to an hotel keeper, and later became a waiter and beer drawer at one of London's old-fash- toned public houses called the Grown and Magpie." He married the daugh- ter of the tavern keeper and pros- pered, and his fortune was increased when he discovered the secret of bot ting ale so that it could pass through the changes of climate on the voyage of hot countries without the cork fly ing out of the bottle.

OMIT KING'S NAME FROM
 IRISH LEAGUE AFFAIRS
The Forms Of New Judicial Regime Are in the Name of the
 Attorney General
Attorney-Gcncral

Dublin, Aug. 16.-At the recent ceremony of the inauguration of the new Free State judiciary, one of the most striking features was the speech in the Irish language delivered by Chief Justice Kennedy, said to be the first official utterance by judge Iii that tongue since the time of the Erehon laws many cen urics ago.
 Under the new judicial regime le- gal procedure is to te greatly sim rl!fied, anl the old ,umbrous forms of indic.mont are to be abolished d. A significant change is tn. dirarpeal- snce of the name of tn, king. Ir the past offenses were described in the indictment as against the peace of our sovereign Lord the king, his crown and dignity" and jurors were sworn to true deliverance between our sovereign Lord the king and the prisoner at the bar These forms are now abolished. Prosecutions were laid as "The King V. So and so." They are now to be laid in the name 0 the attorney general.
 The new Free State court of ap- peal is an ultimate tribunal. Appeals to the house of lords have been abol- ished and appeals to the privy coun- ell can only be had by petition to the king for permission likely to be granted only in very exceptional cases. "The courts will" said the chief jus tice, stand between the people and any and every encroachment upon their constitutional rights and fiber ties by whomsoever attempted"

WHITE INDIANS WERE ROWING SCOTCHMEN
Legend Traces Ancestry of In.
 dians to SCOtland'S Own

New Orleans, Aug, is,-The recent
 discovery of soresllsd white Indians
 on the isthmus of Panama hy the
 Marsh expedition has unleashed its
 legend in New Orleans, yersed fin the
 romantic lore of Central and South America.
 An expedition of seotsmen. some say. settled in Darien in the autumn Of 1898, by authorization of the Scotch parliament, This expedition, numbering some 1900 persons, in. eiuded four ministers of the Church of Scotland, who went along 10 establish a presbyterial organization, and fl Is told that because of their aseetle tendencies. some of the sturdy scotch families rebelee against them. and were banished from the settle ment.
 Later. it lis said. others of the settlers were driven away by the snaniards. and 1t is thought likely many of them fled into the jungles and remained. This. if the supposition IS correct. might account for the white Indians.
 But the San Bias tribe of Indians have A different story. Many years aso' they say so long ago that no one. can recall the date. a band or white mon came to Darien and set about to rob the red men of their wealth. In their explorations, how ever. the pale face visitors incurred the displeasure of an evil spirit. and soon they died. Their spirits. so the story goes. being accursed. were driven into tho fever-laden jingles, where they stayed for evermore. That IS the legend Of the San Blas tribe.
 According to their oldest chieftains, no San Bias could inter-mary with | another race. That law still holds, | and so strictly Is 1t observed that even | now a white man visiting their vil- lases IS carefully watched. But there. | are tales of Pocahontases even among the San Bias, and they say that some Of the women of the tribe ran away with pale face men, whom they mar ried,. only 10 be slain later or their babies killed few days after birth.
 It is thought improbable by these unofficial historians that the white Indian is of Spanish origin, for the men of Spain wero never referred to by the Indians as white men, but as 'nnetas." after the Spanish "horse- man." This failure of the Indians 10 refer to the Spaniard as white men while that term was applied to other strangers of the jungles, Is considered 'olid ground for the theory of those nat believe the new-found tribe de- 'cended from the Scotch.

QUARTER TONE PIANO
 IS OUT IN BRUNSWICK
German Inventor Has Personally Demonstrated This New Instru-
 ment to Musical Critics

 Brunswick. Germany, Aug. 1s.-The quarter tone plano is an established fact. The inventor has personally demonstrated it to large number of musical critics who came to Bruns- wick from all over Germany.
 At the present state of cultivation of the human ear, however, the critics . believe it won't do to mix too many quarter tones with the half and whole notes to which the ear is accustomed. Their present advice to composers is to reserve the quarter notes for spe- cial passages in which melancholy strains are to be given expression.
 One technical difficulty of the in- vention is that of keeping so minute ly adjusted an apparatus in tune. Every player of the piano knows that when an ordinary piano has been treated to number of fortissimos, the instrument soon needs tuning. If this be true of whole-and- tone pianos, the critics ask, what will hap pen to an instrument adjusted on quarter tones? And where can piano tuners be found who can distinguish between intervals of only a quarter of a note?

DRINK IT STANDING UP

Berlin, Aug. 16.-A drink it stand ing up" bar. designed along the lines of the American quick lunch stands, is making inroads upon the old-fash- toned Berlin beer halls, where Ger mans for many years have been ac- customed to sit about for hours and sip their beer. In the ''stand-up" the customer gets his beer at the bar, pays for 1t and steps over to a waist high table where there are no chairs. Here he drinks his beer in minute or two, instead of an hour or so, and hurries of to his business.

Fishermen say large runs occur in cycles of five years.

 Oh, what brings my childhood to me As sit here sad and gloomy While my knife and fork in hand I firmly take. And with grim determination now make my preparation To tackle once again this old beef steak. In fancy now I'm roaming In the country in the gloaming.
