The Denver News says there is no polltlos In the silver question in Colorado. But it may be remarked that the political ques tion i3 full of silver. The search for Garza goes on with un abated incoaseq uenoe. The soldiers recently came very near catching a man who looks something like Garza. Ex-Senator Ingalls’ war reoord closes with the words; “But he did no aotual service.” His reoord of statesmanship may close with the same sentence. Newspaper reporters in the metropolis now speak of them in news items as “rodents,” to avoid a confusion of contem porary information and political chestnuts. Mrs. James Brown Potter recently lost her scenery and wardrobe by a fire in Cape Town, Africa. As her reputation as an actress was in her wardrobe, she has been benefited. The servant of the queen who committed anioide in the royal pantry at Osborne castle was an artist in death. No more appropri ate place could be chosen for breaking the golden bowl. There Is a good deal of sarcasm in the New York law permitting vagrants to be fined {lO for sleeping on the bare marble floor of a public building corridor on a freezing night. A Philadelphia paper heads its state con vention dispatoh,'’Hill aud Anti-Hill Men .Lock Horns.” The telegraph editor was of the opinion, evidently, that there was the "devil to pay.” • The Chicago Inter Ocean compliments the state of Georgia for what she bus done for her confederate soldiers, but expresses surprise that the anti-pension organs have not "oome down on it.” Chicago is making a bid for Ward Mc- Allister to write another book. Why doesn’t Chicago put in au offer for Ward in per son? New York would be glad to dispose of him cheap—in a job lot. The big newspaper in the great city that is not raising a "fund” for the benefit of something is the exception. The “fund” i buy are most interested in raising, however, i • for the benefit of the proprietor. Texas will bo heard from next month as to her views on the political questions of the day. Mr. Mills’ friends feel 'confident that he will be elected to the Senate, and his tariff and silver views thereby indorsed. The dedicatory ode for the world’s fair has been completed. The author is a woman. If the men would only do their part of the work as promptly as the women are doing theirs the exposition would he a great dual better off. Mrs. James G, Blaine, Jr., procured a divorce from her husband last week, and the reporters are already trying to find ter another husband, bhe may find it nec essary to write a letter declaring that she is not a candidate. Several young ladies of May’s Landing, N. J., have formed a wood-sawing club. They are possibly preparing themselves, by Quay’s famous recipe, to enter politics when New Jersey shall have bestowed the suf frage upon women. Anew flying machine has been evolved from the inner consciousness of a West Vir ginia sharp. It is to be worn like au ordi nary suit of clothes and will be a mechan ical reproduction of tne hawk—even to its t penchant lor catohing jays. A Silver Conference. If the information of the New York Tribune is correct, the President is very anxious to have the silver question taken rut of politics. That paper says that although the .Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Foster, is going to Europe for the benefit of his health, he will endeavor, while in Eng land, to arrange with Mr. Goscben, the English chanoellor of the exchequer, for an international conference on the silver ques tion. It may le fairly inferred, therefore, that the main purpose of the secretary's trip abroad is in connection with the silver prob lem. The ail ver question Isa bothersome one to both political parties. Neither of them is united on it and neither of them sees a way to deal with it so that it will not be a source of weakness in the presidential cam paign. If an international monetary con ference oould be arranged both parties would be relieved of what promises to be a very embarrassing issue. Avery considerable portion of the Re publican party in the western states favors free silver coinage, but the Republican party is committed agaiust It, and the belief is that if congress should pass a bill author izing the free ooinage of silver the President would veto it. But, if ho should veto such a bill, be would run the risk of injuring bis popularity with his party in the west. Ho is, therefore, anxious to have the silver question removed from politics, and it would not be surprising if it should turn out that Secretary Foster’s visit to Europe is for the purpose of seeing if some thing cannot be done to bring about an in ternational agreement relative to silver rather than to seek health. Disappointed Colonists. Comparatively few of the blacks read the newspapers. If they did they would not be deceived so often by alleged agents who pretend to represent societies which have for their object the colonization of blacks In Liberia. Within the last two or three years hundreds of comfortably situated blaoks in various parts of the southern states have been influenced by attractive promises to sell at a great saoriflee what little property they had and start for Libe ria. A few reaobed that country only to find there is no means of earning a good living there, and those who could get away returned to their old homes as soon as an opportunity to do so presented itself. But by far the greater number got only a little way on their journey when they found that they had been misled, and that nothing had been given them in return for the money they paid to the alleged agents. On Sunday there arrived in New York over a hundred blaoks of both sexes, many of thorn very young children and others long past middle life, who said they were on their way to Liberia at the solicitation of the Amorloan Colonization Society of Washington, D. C. They had left their homes in the Indian Territory with the un derstanding that an agent of the society would meet them in New York, and that the ship to transport them to Liberia was waiting for them at that port. They were virtually without money and there was no agent of the colonization society to meet them and direot them what to do. They were in a pitiable con dition. Toey were common oountry blacks and had never before seen a large city. They were as helpless as if they bad been oast adrift in midocean in a small boat without oompass or oars. About all the children were with out shoes and stockings. Indeed, all of the party were insufficiently clothed. Had not some kind-hoarted and charitable people provided for them they would have had to remain unsheltered in the streets until the city provided for their immediate wants. There ought to be some means for pun ishing those who get money from the simple minded blacks uoderthe pretense of provid ing oomforiable homes for them in Liberia. As a matter of fact the blacks who have returned from Liberia describe it ns a country that the blacks of this country should avoid a9 they would the plague. And there are good reasons for thinking that many of the alleged colonization agent* aro frauds, who have no authority from any one to receive money from blacks for emi gration purposes. Either state or national authorities should take steps to put an end to the outrageous business of the fraudulent agents. It Looks Like an Understanding. The report that Mr. Springer says that he thinks Illinois will send a Hill delegation to Chicago justifies the suspicion that the question of making Senator Hill the presi dential candidate of the Democratic party played an important part in the speaker ship contest. It was stated at the time the contest was going on that that question was having a good deal of influence in deter mining the result of it. It it difficult to be lieve, however, that there was au under standing which caused the friends of Speaker Crisp and Senator Hill to act in harmony—an understanding that continues until the action of the democratic national convention is known. But if there was no such understanding it seems a little strange tnat Mr. Springer should say that the Illinois delegation would be a Hill delegation. He is about the only prominent man from that state who has made such a statement. Is ho trying to so shape the political elements in Illinois as to have Hill delegates elected ? Mrs. Jewell, the woman that lighted the Are that burned Coy at the stake in Texar kana the other day, and who is his alleged victim, arrived in this world too late and in the wrong country. She should have lived two or three hundred years ago, when tort ure for crime was the rule and not the ex ception, aDd the human mind had not grown and expanded to the recognition that in law and order lies the only safeguard to society. Tne paragraphers are all clipping and printing that Hem about Senator Hill hav ing oocupied his official chair in Washing ton only eleven days during the eleven months he has been senator. Our friends aro reminded that the custom of spilling a pot of paste in the chair of the recruit is as yet confined to newspaper offices, and is not likely ever to be extended tp the United States Senate. A western newspaper, after mature de liberation, has come to the conclusion that Boies ought to be President, chiefly because “he is no slouch.” That is. indeed, au ex cellent reason, but so far no anti-slouch plank has been inserted in a democratic platform. While the Washburn anti-options bill is before congress, would it not be a good idea to add a clause prohibiting speculating in presidential futures! Fluctuations of Hill, Cleveland, Harrison, Blaine and other stocks ore uoted every day now. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1892. Sunday Observance. In his efforts to prevent the tale of intoxi cating liquors on Sunday Mayor McDonough has had the support of almost the entire community. Since he has teen mayor there has been very little drunkenness on Sundays, and consequently very little disturbance of the peace. The police records show that since be began the work of closing the saloons on Sundays the number of arrests on those days has been remarkably small. But the mayor is now pursuing a course which threatens to undo ail of his good work. By attacking occupations and kinds of business agaiust whioh there is no publio sentiment, and which custom has sanc tioned for a quarter of a century, and which the city ordinances permit, he is creating a sentiment that will eventually make it virtually impossible to enforce the city ordinances against selling intoxicating liquors on Sundays. He is attacking the kinds of business and occupations to whioh attention is called, not because they are prohibited by the laws of the city but by the laws of the state, and he is using the police to euforce the stats laws. Indeed, the closing of these kinds of business and the preventing of these occupations are not necessary to quiet Sun days. There are certain kinds of business that are essential to the comfort and happi ness of a very large portion of the city’s population. Wbv, then, should they be pro hibited on Sundays if there is no sentiment demanding that they be prohibited? There is a sentiment that the sale of in toxicating liquors shall be prohibited for two reasons. One is, that when the dram shops are open there are many more drunken men on Sundays than other days, and many more crimes committed under the influence of strong drink. The other is, that workingmen, being idle on Sundays, waste their money in drink, if the oppor tunity to do so exists, whioh ought to be spent in support of their families. What the people want is that the dram shops shall be closed on Sundays, and they will support the mayor to the fullest extent in doing that. But if he insists that the state law shall be enforced to the fullest extent—a law that was enacted wheu the condition of affairs was very different from what it is now—he will simply succeed in reopening the dram shops. He may enforce the law during the rest of bis ad ministration, but he will have a sucoessor who will not enforce any Sunday observ ance law. The Morning Naws has held up the mayor’s bands in his reform work and it wants to see the Sunday reform so firmly established that it cannot be over thrown. He is pursuing- a course now, however, that is likely to lead to its over throw. Bogus Money. Dealers in “queer” money and “green goods” are doing about as much business, it appears from the newspaper dispatches, as dealers in any legitimate line of trade. "Green goods” and “saw-dust game” have come to be used as synonymous terms, mean ing that the verdant rascal who attempts to buy counterfeit money gets for his time, trouble and cash only a box of saw-dust,cut paper or some other valueless stuff that would weigh about as muoh as the spurious greenbacks he thinks be is buying. But it appears that there is really “green goods” —that is counterfeit paper money— in circulation and being put in circulation, and, furthermore, that some of it has got into Georgia, by hook or crook. In our dispatch from Thom aiviile, published Saturday, it was told how a young man tried to buy a pair of trousers in that town, tendering in payment there for a bogus S2O bill. When arrested and questioned about the money the young man, who is said to be “not very bright,” said another man named Lyons had furnished it, and that Lyons bad a large roll like it. Lyons, of course, escaped arrest. That was his purpose in giviDg the bill to the “not very bright” young man. He had possibly just coine into possession of the crisp, new counterfeits, and wished to see how they would be received. At the same time be did not propose to risk his own liberty by "shoving the queer” untilit had been demon strated that it was safe to do so, and with the meanness characteristic of rascals of his stamp, he selected the dull young man as his cat’s-paw to make the test. The experiment failod, Lyons skipped and his tool was put in jail. A telegram from Cincinnati, published in the Morning News Monday, gave thefacts of the arrest of persons engaged in making counterfeit greenbacks and the capture of their outfit. It is not improbable chat these Thomaßville bills came from the Cincinnati press, and that there are more of them afloat. The imita tion is said to bo poor, but so few | ersons receiving a bank bill or sil ver certificate examine it critically, that there is danger of being imposed upon by these frauds, and it is well to watch out for them. The publication of these facts may lead some people to believe in the ’‘green goods” circulars which are being Bent broadcast over the laud, and to try to obtain some of the bogus money. If it should, the result would be that the fool and his money would soon part, and the parting might be only the forerunner of a term in the penitentiary, which would be deserved. The New York newspapers do the negroes of Georgia an injustioe in reporting that a number of them have arrived there to par ticipate in the rush on those Liberian farms and {SO bounties. The twenty-three negroes who left this port last week for Liberia via New York, were from Indian Terri tory, and were apart of the contin gent shipped by the Cherokee Indians. Georgia negroes have too much sense to go running off after jack-'o-lanterns in the Afrioan swamps, when there is a plenty here for them to do and get paid for. A New York cat the other day came very near re-enacting the role of the Chicago cow that caused the "great” fire, by over turning a lamp. The cow was being milked at tho time, however, and the cat wasn’t The cat’s name was “Mebitabei” and the cow’s name was , but there’s nothing in a name. A stupendous fight is that being made in England againßt the seamen’s and other allied trades unions. A committee of the shipping federation has completed a scheme for absorbing all of the industries connected with shipping. When this has been accom plished labor will be imported. It is said there is a rosebush iu Ililder sheim, Hanover, that waif planted more than 1,000 years ago by Charlemagne. It is twenty-six feet high. Georgia bos some thing somewhere to beat it, and “when found it will be made a note on.” PERSONAL. Lady Henry Somerset will probably return to England with her son next month. Her proposal trip to Japan has been abandoned. Representative Springer Is a very tall mao. 1 with broad shoulders and a strong, wiry frame. ; Mr*. Springer Is as small as she is lively and | energetic. George Washington Is said to have declared toward the end of his life that he never wrote but onepoem “That,'' said he, "was the name of my first sweetheart. Mary Cary, and she was a poem In herself.” Eugene Field keeps in bis borne in Chicago all the checks which tne Scribner* have sent him for royalties on his two books. They ag gregate more than {I.OK), and the genial Eu gene is preparing to frame them. The hopes of many Havanans that death was about to relieve them of a mad king have proved vain. The latest report# say that King Otto is physically comparatively well, although his mental condition is os sad and gloomy as ever. Congressman Hooker of Mississippi is one of many members who seem to regard a straight white tie as a sort of badge of dignity to be worn In daylight and with edy costume, instead of bring confined, as by correct usage, to even ing dress. 31189 Jane Cobdex, who was recently married to T. Fisher Unwin, the publisher, is a daughter of the late Richard Cohden. the anti-corn law league orator and coworker of John Bright. She is a member of the London council and a bard worker in the cause of reform. Ricbard Parks Bland, the author of the silver bill, has played a part In politics in five states and territories. By birth a Kentuckian, he settled iu Misjouri. California, Utah and Nevada auucetsively. He was county treasurer of Carson.iUtab, at the time it became part of Nevada, and returned to Missouri soon after the war. Thomas Smith, a millionaire land owner of Detroit, kept a dairy most of his life and laid up wealth. He was alrea ly three score and ten when he decided to marry again. His bride, who is a little over a fourth of his age, now lives in a luxurious separate establishment, while the septuagenarian is a paralytic and lives at the old dairy. James Gondik, a Chicagoan, says he built the first transatlantic steamer, the Royal William. While the Savannah, in 1819, was the first ves sel propelled by steam to cross the ocean, Mr. Gon.lie, who is now 83, rays sue reded innioly on her sails, as her small deck engine was use less in rough weather, so that the Royal Will iam, in 1833, was the actual steam pioneer. Mrs. John A. Logan recently sustained an in jury to her spine by the collapse of a camp chair in which she was sitting, in her home in Wash ington, while a parlor reading was in progress At first she fancied that she was not seriously hurt; but she has been obliged to stay in bed for several days, The accident may not prove to have serious consequences, but at present some anxiety is felt by her friends. Two men in the employ of Councilor Shep 5 herd, builder and contractor, of Cardiff, made an extraordinary discovery in the Royal hotel building yard. They were engaged In sawing a huge block of stone from the quarries near Bath, when the saw cut through a bees' uest almost In the center of tne stone. Some of the bees were crushed to death, but the living ones came swarming out. frightening the stone cutters, who beat a hasty retreat. BRIGHT BITS. Pat—’Twas a divjl %v a blow the dago gave yer.

The Free Coinage Question. From the Philadelphia Ledger (Ind. Y If there are any leaders of the Democratic party who have influence sufficient to control|tbe coming caucus of the majority of tiie Houa -, they should use it in such wise,effective manner as to, at least, postpone any sort of congressional action on the silver question.

It will not take long even under the present silver law to show tlie pernicious effects of the excessive coin age of that metal, which, if made free and un limited as a legal tender, would quickly and luevitabiy cause gold to be boarded or driven out of the country.

It was not many minutes before the machine was "wide open’’ and '57 was pounding the track with a roar, writes a reporter in the Chicago Times. The engineer hung out of the window, calmly chewed tobacco and rested his left hand on the lever. The track was as smooth and_ as level as an asphalt pave ment and ’67 was dragging five cars along at about a mile a minute. The fireman fed in the coal and more steam was registered. The iron joints creaked and the big engine groaned as if asking, “What do you expect of a fellow In seventeen minutes?” Did you ever sit in an engine cab and see a man on the track ahead of you? The whistle toots and the bell rings. The man does not turn his head, but keeps right on, as if unaware that death in a horrible form was dashing upon him. Nearer comes the train. The spectator's heart begins to feel heavy and a cold chill begins to creep over him. Will the man never hear? What does he mean? Can he be deaf? He must be awfully deaf not to hear the wild scream of that whistle. You glance across the oab at Engineer Cole. He has cnanged his po sition. One hand is on the lever, ready to re verse You begin to feel sick as you imagine a human being beneath those terrible wheels. The distance between life anil death is small. Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot; clang, olang. You shut your eyes. You cannot bear to see the man run down. There is a hissing of air. a quivering of the train, then a “release”—the engine bounds forward and you open youreyes. The man stood a few feet from the side of the track, waving his hat and grinning like an ape. He was one of the class of “smart Alecks" wLo like to see how long they can stand on a track without being struck by a train. bar, far down the track is a dark spot, over which hovers a dark cloud. The engineer sees it, hauls out his watch, glances at it, then re sumes the business of looking out of the win dow. He was to meet an east-bound freight at that point. He did not know if the switches were in place; he did not know but the pas senger train would dash into that freight and the death of many people follow. There was no way for him to know except that It was the duty of his fellow employes to see that the switches were right. He did not slacken his speed. Hapidly the huge mogul on the side track loomed up. A roar, and a dash and No. 17 flew past the waiting freight, passing within three feet. A Welah Epitaph. The following epitaph, says the Jewellers' Circular, is reproduced from a tombstone in the cemetery in Liwadllwfwdl: "Here lies In a horizontal position the outside case ot George Hutleish, watchmaker, whose abilities in that line ware an honor to his pro fession. Integrity was the mainspring and prudence the regulator of all the actions of his life Human, honest, industrious, his hands never stopped until they had relieved distress. He had fbe art of disposing of his time in such a way that he never went wrong except when set agoing by persons who did not know his key, and even then was ea lly set right again. He departed this life Nov. 7, 18:1, wound up in the hope of be’ng taken In hard by Ms maker, thor oughly cleaned, regulated and repaired and set agoing in the world to come. ” Chooalnor Between the Attractions. Bamum's circus had just struck a town in Vermont, says the Boston Globe, Aunt Polly had never seen the elephant, in any sense of the word, and had been feeling for weeks how she “did just long to go to the show” When the proper morning came Aunt Polly’s married son, Josh.tolA her to be ready at 1 o’clock p.m. and they’d take in the show. •'Well, now,” exclaimed Aunt Polly, hesi tatingly, “I don’t know about that. I want to see the show awful bad, but you see Deacon Perkins' funeral comes off to-day. and I don’t just know which I’d enjoy the most. There’ll be lots of folks there, and besides I may live till Barnum comes again, but this Is the only funeral Deacon Perkins will ever give. “I guess, Josh, I’ll have a better time at the funeral than at the circus.” And Aunt Polly went to the funeral. The Man of ’92. Robert J. Burdette in the Ladies' Home Journal, The bird pines in its gilded cage. Its soul is in the Wildwood, And I in life’s maturer age, Sigh for my lost, free childhood.

Ir it wiki possible to rise above the at mosphere which surrounds the earth, the sun would look like a sharply deflned ball of Are. while everything else would be wrapped in total darkness. There could be no difference of light without au atmosphere or some similar medium for the sun's rays to act upon. But, on the con trary, if fcho earth's atmosphere extended to a night of 700 miles, the sun's heat and rays could never penetrate it, aod we would freeze to death while wrapped in darkness blacker than the blackest midnight. ffllr appears on Chinese authority that Chris tians can be identified by their smell. But skeptical travelers are inclined to believe, after seeing the filthy condition of Chinese towns and villages, that it U by the comparative absence of odor among civilized races that a Chinaman can spot a Christian. By the best accounts Chinese towns are incredibly filthy, there being no pretense of sewerage, everything being thrown on the street. During one of the wars with China Commissioner Yen, who was viceroy over millions, was takco prisoner, and in con sideration of his high rank he was kept on board the flagship. While there ho lived after the fashion of Feter the Great, when he occupied Evelyn’s house at Deptford, and his society was so unbearable that n formal complaint was made by the crew to the admiral. The latter explained to Yeh through the interpretor that if he did not mend his ways the sailors would have to swab him down twice a day like a bul lock oq shipboard. An enthusiastic German advocate for the unification of the human race invented, some years since, a universal language, which he named Volapilk. The original work was the only one which became well known before 1885, and since that time sixtv-six books on the same subject have appeared. The system was ene which we should have thought might very well have been left to the neglect which, in spite of the increasing literature on it, Is sure in the long run *fo overtake it. But, unfortunately, the basis of the system is the (German language. This, it is obvious, is more than some French men can endure, and. in order to checkmate the insidious attempt of the enemies of France to perpetuate the supremacy of Germany, in genious Frenchmen have invented twenty-five new systems, all based on the Romance language, and to which they have given names such as “Bopal,” “Myrana, “Lingua Franca,” •Ungualuinina,” “Neo Latina,* “Lingua,” ‘Pasilingua,” etc. Stop and think a moment what the sentence “A journey to the sun” implies. A cannon ball could hardly complete the trip in fifteen years going at the rate such missiles are known to travel. Take the fastest express train as an other illustration of that uuthinkabie distance. Had one of these trams left the earth at the same moment the Mayflower sailed for Ameri ca, and had it traveled at the rate of a mile a minute day and night since that time, it would still be several miles from its celes tial destination! The faro, at the cus tomary rate, would be $-\S50.000! Again, it has been found that sensation is not absolutely instantaneous, but that a very minute time elapses as it travels along the nerves. Therefore, if a person put his finger to a heated iron, or in the blaze of a candle there is a certain almost inconceivably small space of timo, say the one-thousandth part of a second, before the brain kiiows of the burn. Now, sup pose a man with an arm long enough to reach the sun. From the known rate of sensatory transmission, that man would have to live more than 100 years after touching the great lumin ary before he would know that his fingers had been scorched! Skvkral of the papers, in referring to the funeral ot the Duke of Clarence, express satis* faction that he should have been buried at Winds r, because he rests with many genera tions of "his illustrious abd historical fore fathers. The fact is that most of ‘’the illus trious and historical forefathers” of the present generations of the royal family are buried in Westminster; Abbey, where the royal vault was closed after the funeral of William. Duke of Cumberland, because it was full. The present royal vault or “tomb house" at. Windsor was constructed only about H years ago under the superintendence of George 111., who ordered that his coffin and tiiat of Queen Charlotte should be placed on the stone table in the center of the vault, and that the oolfins of their children and grandchildren should be deposited on the shelves at their tides Nearly all the children of George 111. were buried here the only exceptions being the Duke of Cam bridge, Whose grave is at K-w; Ernest, King of Hanover, who is burled at Hanover; the Queen of W urtemburg, who rests at Stuttgart. and the Duke of Sussex and Princess Sophia, who were buried at Kensal Green. Of the uueen's children Princess Alice is buried at Darmstadt and Prince Leopold's coffin was removed in Ixßs from the vault and placed in a sarcophagus in Die Wolsey or A1 bert Memorial chapel. Except King George of Hanover no member of the royal family had been really buried in this vault until last week since Queen Adelaide, who died in 1849. There are seventeen coffins in the vault the earliest being those of the Princes Airred and Octavius, sons of George 111 which were removed here from Westminster Abbey. The fees that directors of business corpora tions receive range from $5 to sls fqp attend ance at each meeting, says the New York Times. It is a fact not generally known that there are some men in this town who enioy very handsome incomes from this source alone Of course they are men of wealth and high business standing whose reputation for financial skill and probity makes them eagerly sought for as directors. Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D Rockefeller or.T. Pierpont Morgan, for Instance' would be welcomed in the directory of any business corporatism. Samuel D. Babcock ex president of the chamber of commerce, has' the reputation of being a director in more concerns than any other man in New Yor.. Russell Sage is not far behind him. Jay Gould might also be a multifarious director, but of late years he has given the greater part of tiis time and attention to corporations which he practically controls. The president of one of the largest banks in this city said the other day that, although he was a director in com !' natively tew corporations, his fees amounted to SII,OOO last year. "I know one mau,”said he, "whose Income from director's fees alone ranges from SB,OOO to SIO,OOO a year ” Nearly all of the great financial concerns pay their di rectors $lO each for every meating they attend The money is usually paid in gold and is handed to the director as soon as he enters the board room In some cases the custom pre ■vaila to make a pool at each meeting, which is divided among the directors in attendance. Wherethere are fifteen raembe-s of a board of directors $1 oin $lO gold pieces or crisp new notes is placed on a plate in the ceuter of tue director's table and the members who are present when the meeting is called to order at once divide up the amount. If there is but five members they each take S3O from the plate. This method stimulates promptness in attend ing the meetings.
