Prom the Baltimore San.
Washington, Aug. 9.—ln a pamphlet Is
sued by the Treasury Department to-day,
prepared by A. T. Huntington, chief of
the division of loans and currency, some
interesting* Information is given in regard
to the bonds and currency of the coun
try. Mr. Huntington says in regard to
the standard of value:
“In the provid4ng for the coinage of the
precious metals Congress established, by
the act of April 2. 1792, the standard of
value, consisting of certain gold and sil
ver coins, at a ratio of 15 to I—-that is
to say, the value of an ounce of fine gold
was in effect declared to be equal to the
value of fifteen ounces of tine silver. Both
gold and silver coins were declared to be
standards.
“The ratio of 15 to 1 was adopted in
pursance of investigations conducted by
Alexander Hamilton. Secretary of the
Treasury, who, in his report upon the sub
ject, said that 15 to 1 wus u near approxi
mation to the commercial value of the
two metals. It was soon discovered, how
ever. that gold at the ratio of 15 (o 1 was
undervalued, and silver became practical
ly the only metallic money available for
use in the United States. In 1834 the
ratio was changed to 16.002 to 1. and in 1837
it jvas changed to 15.988 to 1. That is
the present ratio and is commonly called
16 to 1. Bv this change silver was un
dervalued and gold came into list in its
place.
“By the act of Feb. 12. 1873. the coinage
of the standard silver dollar was discon
tinued and the gold dollar of 25.S grains
of standard gold. 900 fine, was declared to
be the unit of value. The subsequent res
toration of the coinage of silver dollars
under the act of Feb. 2S, 1878. was on gov
ernment aecouqt and did not restore the
silver dollar to its former place as a
standard of value.
“But while Congress provided for the
so-called double or bimetallic standard,
such double standard has never been ef
fective in this country. From 1792 to
1834 silver was the metal by which all
values were measured and since 1834 gold
has been, and still is, the sole actual
standard.
There are ten different kinds of money
in circulation in the United Stares, name
ly: Gold coin, standard silver dollars, sub
sidiary silver, gold certificates, silver cer
tificates. treasury notes issued under the
act of July 14. 1890. United State- notes
(also called greenback® and legal ten
ders), national hank notes ahd nickel and
bronze Toir- These forms of mon* y are
oil available as circulation. While they
do not all possess the full legal tender
quality, each kind has such attributes as
to give it currency. Tl|* status of each
kind is as follows:
“Gold coin is legal tender at its nominal
or face value for debts, public or private,
when not below the standard weight and l
limit of tolerance prescribed by law. and
when below such standard and limit of
tolerance it is legal tender in proportion
to its weight.
“Standard silver dollars gre legal ten
der at their nominal or face value in pay
ment of *all debts, public and private,
without regard to the amount, except
where otherwise expressly stipulated in
the contract.
“Subsidiary silver is legal tender for
amounts not exceeding ten dollars in any
one payment.
“Treasury notes of the act of July 14.
1890 are legal tender for all debts, public
ar.d private, except where otherwise ex
pressly stipulated in the contract.
United States notes are legal tender for
all debts, public and private, except duties
on imports and interest on public debt.
Go.d certificates, silver certificates and
national banknotes are not legal tender,
but both classes of certificates are re
ceivable for aii public dues, while na
tional banknotes are receivable for all
public dues except duties on Imports, and
may be paid out by jhe government for
all salaries and other debts and demands
owing by the United Stutes to individuals,
corporations and associations within the
United States, except interest on the pub
lic debt and the redemption of the national i
currency. Aii national banks are requited
by law to*receive the notes of other na
tional bank® at par. The minor coins of
nickels and copper are legal tender to the
amount~of 25 cents.
The coinage of legal tender gold was au
thorized by the first coinage act. passed
by Congress April 2, 1792. The unit of
value is the dollar containing 25.8 grams
of standard gold .900 fine.
The total coinage of gold by the United
State® mints from 1792 to June 30. 1900, is ,
$2.1*7.088,113. of which it is estimated $922.- |
663,462 is now in existence, the remainder
$1,243,434,661. representing the excess of ex
ports over imports and the amount con
sumed in the urts. The gold bullion now j
in th-e United States amounts to $112,378,-
182.
The silver dollar contains 412£ grains !
of silver .900 fine, or 371*4 grains of fin * !
•liver and 41*4 grains of copper alloy. The
standard silver dollar was first author
ized April 2, 1792, and contained 416 grains
.8924 fine, or the same quality of fine sil
ver as the present dollar, whose weight
and fineness was established Jan. 18. 1817
The coinage of the standard silver dollar
was discontinued by act of Feb. 12. 1873.
and restored Feb. 28. 1878. Between 1792
and 1873, $8,031,238 of silver dollars was
coined, and between 1878 and June 30. 1900
$498,496,215.
Of the half a billion of silver dollars
$490,341,739 ,are in the treasury, and only
$66.4#.478 in circulation. $1,725,000 having
been shipped to the Philippines, Cuba and j
Porto Rico.
The Unite ! Spates commenced business
in 1792 with eagle, half-eagle, quarter
eagle, silver dollar half-dollar, quarter
dollar. dim*-, half-dime, cent and half
ceat. At various times we have had the
double eagle, the $3 gold piece, the $1 gold
piece, the Lafayette dollar (silver), the
30-oent piece, the 6-cent (nickel), 3-cent
(nickel), 2-cent (bronze), the nickel cent

of bronze.
The only coins now minted are the
double eagle, eagle, half-eagle, quarter
eagle. in gold, and the silver dollar, hair,
quarter and dime, the 5-cent nickel and
the bronze cent.
The. first notes issued by the United

to provide fractional currency, becaus
when g Id end silver went to a premium

For some time the black wing of the
Republican party of Laurens county has
been endeavoring to pul out a ticket for
county officers. A few weeks ago a full
ticket was nominated, about half white

movement and persuaded the negroes
nominated to decline. Yesterday another
meeting was held, when it was decide*! to
abandon putting out a full ticket and only
nominate a senator and representative.
Rev. J. R. Willis was nominated sena
tor and Rev. C. J. Perry* for representa
tive. Both are negroes. The Democrats
believe that the Populists of the county
are back of the movement to have a Re
publican ticket in the field. There are In

Sanderpville, Ga.. Aug. 12.—The large
variety iron works plant of S. G. Lang,
one block from the public square, was de
stroyed by fire at a few minutes after 12
O’clock last night. This plant has been
in operation for several years and enjoyed
a large patronage from Washington and
adjoining counties, repairing engines,
boilers, gins, and ail kinds of machinery,
and also dealt in new machinery of ill
kinds. It was the most complete plant
outside of the larger citie* of the state,
and gave steady employment to a number
of skilled machinists. The plant was val
ued at $12,000. on which there were $4 000 in
surance, making the net loss about SB,OOO.
There were a god many jobs in the shop
that had not been delivered, and various
parties lost gins, parts of machinery, etc.,
which is estimated at $3,000. to $4,000. The
fire spread bo rapidly nothing could be
saved. The origin is not known.

in another week. Up to last night twen
ty-one a,cw bales had been received, and
at least 360 will be brought in this week.
There are several new buyers in the locnl
field, and Americus will, as usual, be one
of the best markets in Georgia this sea

the new crop may be as large. There

weeks ago promised a fine yield are now
burned by drought and rust. Wagon
loads of forms and young bolls can be

The jury commissioner® of Sumter coun
ty have just completed a revision of the
jury box and the result shows a shortage
of nearly 500 names. This is due to the
fact that hundreds of citizens failed or
refused to return their property for tax
ation this year, and as the jury list is
made up entirely from the tax books,
j there was nothing for the commissioners
to do but leave out of the jury box the
names of such delinquents. Some of the
leading citizens of town and county thus
escape jury duty. It is for this reason,
largely, that Sumter's tax digest show.s a
decrease of $221,000 this year, when there
should have been little if any decrease.
More than 11,000 acres of farm land lias

VIOLET FARMS,
flow Worn-Out Lunds in Virginia
Are firing Mmle to Pay.
From the Baltimore Sun.
“The worn-out farm® of Virginia, prin
cipally in Albemarle and adjacent coun
ties, of late have been turned to good ac
count by their owners, who have directed
their attention to violet growing. The
violet industry is spreading rapidly in
that section, end the growers, the mos:
successful of whom are women! employ
smell negro boys to carry on the work,
which, while not laborious, is tedious, for
the violet® require constant attention.
The greater part of the yield is taken by
Philadelphia dealers. Although they are
noi making wealthy,* the growers ore
receiving subsrantiaJ p‘turns and find
this new* industry more profitable than
ordinary farming.
‘The great violet-growing center is
Poughkeepsie, N. Y. f says Dr. B. F.
Galloway, of the Department of Agricul
ture, who has had the violet hobby for
>ears. He iy the author of several books
on the subject of profit in violet raising.
All violets from thie district find a ready
market in New York City, end as the
demand for them is increasing yearly a
promising field in opened for the young
energetic and intelligent men and women
or to-day.
"Answering a question as <o why the
violet has always been a popular flower,
Ur. Galloway said that for four or five
months In the year the public has no vio
lers at all. It is only from the middle of
October to the end of Easter time that
violets are In season, and when they do
arrive they are in great demand. On the
contrary, roses abound all the year round.
There Is also a certain delicacy, a modes
ty, about the violet that makes it always
wanted, while its perfume is another im
portant point in Its favor.
"Only two of the double varieties of vio
lets are grown—the Maria Louise and the
Lady Hume Campbell. There are many
kinds of single flowers, which, while beau
tiful and fragrant, are not popular. This
is a matter of taste, however. In Europe,
especially in Paris, the single violets are
in great demand. There is a growing de
mand for the single violet in this country,
however. The old-fashioned way of grow
ing violoifs. borrowed from the English
twenty-five or thirty years ago. was in
'cold frames.' These were cheap, box-like
arrangements put up and covered over ip
winter with a glass sash. As the demand
increased it was seen that this method of
culture was not practical. Dealers in the
cities were unable to secure the flowers al
times, as the frames would be covered
with two or three feet of snow, and it
would he impossible for the growers to get
at them. American ingenuity took a hand
at this point and cellars were constructed
adjacent to the beds, and this difficulty
was obviated. From this evolved the rcg
ular violet houses of the present time,
properly heated and ventilated and so con
structed that they can be reached at all
times. Still a great number of violets arc
grown in frames, and for the beginners
it is the best plan to adopt on account
of its cheapness, its valuable experience
can thus be won at slight expense.
“Violets to be successful must be grown
tnt'rely from cuttings. Young offshoots
taken early in the spring give the most
satisfactory results. In some cases the old
plants are allowed to remain year after
year, hut this is unsatisfactory, as each
year's crop shows a dear a e in th num
ber and the size of the flowers. The best
results ere olvalned by replintlng every
year. A start should he made every sp lnt
with young offshoots—t ahy plants—plant
ed in small boxes. As soon as they make
good roots they should he plantei directly
to where they are to stand all summtr It
Is at this time that they should be care
fully watched. Dead leaves and runners
should be taken oft and the plant made
to contract, each forming a bulgy crown.
By the middle of September, if properly
treated, these plants should cover the en
tire ground. By the Ist of October they
begin to blossom. At first the flowers are
small, and. consequently, of little or no
value, and are thrown away. By the mid
die of October they arc sufficiently large,
however, to send to market, and Imme
diately bring a good price.
"Violets generally s II for not less than
a cent apiece, and when the average of a
single plant is 50 flowers a season, and,
with good care, a hundred, the profit can
be readily seen. In the vicinity of every
city violet raising Con'd be made profita
ble Any land that will grow potatoes,
‘made rich by the addition of fertiliser,
proves excellent hr. ellng ground for vio
lets. in starting a violet house care must
be taken to see that there are proper fa
cilities for shipping, although a persou
from four to six nours frem th* city can

“In the Virginia violet farms, after the
young offshoots have been transplanted
into opt-n frames, rolling wooden screens

From the New York World.
“Stop thief! S-top thief!" yelled a chorus
of voices as a light-fingered young fel
low ran alongside a Canal street car yes
terday afternoon and jeck<*d a diamond
earring valued at $1,500 from the ear of
Mrs. Bessie Krulewitch. a passenger.
East in Division street he ran. a crowd
in close pursuit; but he succeeded in
escaping nevertheless.
Mrs. Bessie Krulewitch lives at No. 1632
Madison avenue. Yesterday she went
shopping and it was on her way home
that misfortune befell her. She boarded
a Canal atreet car at Jefferson street
and East Broadway. The oar had gone
about two blocks when it was stopped to
let off passengers at a crowded corner.
The robber stepped from the crowd to
the open window of the car. reached in
and tore the diamond from Mrs. Krule
witch’s ear. inflicting a severe wound.
The croud heard her scream and saw
the fleeing robber. When they thought
they had him he was gone—swallowed up
in their own midst.
Emanuel Krulewitch. Mrs. Krulewitch’9

at police headquarters. Two detectives
were detailed on the case. They have
a description of the thief and hope to
arrest him.

SOCIETY WOMEN ARE SCORED.
Rev. Sam Jonnt I tiers Some ( linr
notorletlo Remarks.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Gloucester City, Aug. 9.—By far the
largest crowd of the week attended to
day’s services at the National Park camp
meeting and the auditorium was filled to
overflowing Taking his theme on “Prom
ises." Sam Jones entered into a sharp de
nunciation of society women.
“God has kepi his promise to man.” said
he, "by giving him a wife and children.
A man possessing a good wife is a rich
man, but a man who has a society wife
and n pug dog hasn’t much.
“When I see women cHitting off the tops
of their gowns for the ballroom and the
bottom for the bicycle I am afraid of wo
mankind, as these capers don’t mix with
religion. If I was to do that they would
arrest me and make me be decent.
“If God had intended for woman to go
around half-nude, he would have covered
her with more hair or feathers. I like a
fast Biorse, but give me a slow girl."
Men, Monkey and Hnr*e*.
From the Youth's Companion.
Perspiration is almost peculiar to men,
monkeys and horses. Horses sweat all
over the body and so do human beings,
but monkeys, it is said, sweat only on
the hands, f et and face. The use of per
spiration is mainly to cool the body by
its evaporation, although it is generally
believed that waste mateiials’are also ex
creted through the glands when
the action of the kidneys is interfered
with. In animals that perspire but little,
the cooling of the body is effected by
evaporation from the lungs, as we see in
the case of a panting dog.
The amount of perspirat on vari s great
ly, according to the temperature of the
surrounding air, the condition of health,
(he degree of exercise taken, the amount
of fluids imbibed, etc. The average
amount of perspiration is thought to be
about two pints a day, but this is. of
course, much Increased in hot weather.
In damp weather evaporation from the
sk n is kssensfd, and so one seems to
perspire more profusely than in dry
weather; but this is only apparent, for
really transpiration is lessened when the
atmosphere is charged with moisture.
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term used
to denote an abnormal increase in per
spiration. This increase may be general
from the entire body, or confined to some
particular port, as the face, the hands
or the feet. Profuse sweating is very com
mon in cases of debility and in excessively
stout persors. It occurs also in connec
tion with various diseases such as con
sumption (night sweats.), pneumonia, in
flammatory rheumatism and certain nerv
ous disorders. Sudden emotion may cause
increased perspiration.
The opposite condition, a great diminu
tion or absence of sweeting (anhidrosis),
is much rarer, and occurs usually in con
nection with some disease of the skin.
Sometimes the character of the secretion
is changed, and cases of black, blue. gray,
yellow or red sweating have been des
cribed.
The treatment of profuse perspiration
depends upon the cause. Toni :■, cold or
cool bathing, especially salt barhirg. tem
p rate exercise and rubbing of the skin
are useful in casts dependent upon gen
eral debility or obesity. Spraying or spong
ing the body with brandy and water, vine
gar and w'ater, or a solution of tannin or
boric acid. Is useful.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Suwanee Springs Cos., Suwanee, Fla.:
Gentlemen—ln the fall of 1892 my wife
became a sufferer of the inflammatory
rheumatism, and my family physician
witn others as good as the state afford,
living in Hawkinsville, Ga., began treat
ing her for same. eujd no relief could she
get. I was advised by my uncle, P. A.
Robuck, now living in Cochran, Ga., who
had visited the springs, and found such
great relief for the kidney disease he had
so long been a sufferer of, and knowing
of the waters to be good for rheumatism,
as I had tried ail patent medicines I saw
advertised, and no relief could she get
after suffering for months, and becoming
almost a hopeless invalid, I brought her
to Suwanee Sulphur Springs in Florida,
and after staying there 70 days she could
get about lively anu quick as any one.
and felt no symptoms of pain after the 70
days; we returned to Hawkinsville, Ga.,
and she still improved in health and flesh,
and ,was finally cured by nothing but the
waters used from Suwanee Springe. Our
little girl Almira at the time we visited
the springs was nine months old. At the
age of one month it was afflicted with a
dreadful breaking out all over Its face and
body, eyes began to inflame, and we
thought for a time it would lose the sight.
It troubled us very much. We called in
u doctor, who did not think there was
much the matter, but the child continued
to grow worse, and It wits suffering so
much and was so fretful that we had no
rest night or day. We did everything we
could, but brqughl no relief to the little
sufferer. I tried everything at hand, or
that I could hear of, but without the de
sired effect. About this time we got to
the springs. In a few days I could tell
it was improving, and in less than two
months if was perfectly well. Splotches
all left the skin; It is now a healthy
child, and has a bright-good eye and fair
skin as you wish to see.
Ever since I was 15 years old I have had
catarrh of the head. 1 tried all kinds of
medicine and the best physician for 15
years, but without any benefit. When 1
visited the Suwanee Springs with my wife
for the rheumatism I found the water
w r as a cure for catarrh, and after ueing
it a while my head began to feel clear,
my breath got pure and sweet, and I have
never been troubled with neuralgia, and
but very little with catarrh since. It is
an instant and permanent cute for neu
ralgia and erysipelas. I regard it as the
best all-round medicine in the world. As
a blood purifier it has no equal, and it is
a sure cure for rheumatism and all skin
diseases.
I cannot say too much in praise of the
Suw'anee Sulphur Springs. With grati
tude, 1 am yours truly,
P. T. McGRIFF.

BIY ONLY THE BEST GINGER ALE.
The best Is the Wheoler Brand of Bel
fast Ginger Ale, made by Wheeler & Cos.,
of Belfast, Ireland, from the celebrated
Cromac springs of mat city. These
springs are the property of Wheeler &
Cos., hence no other Ginger Ale manufac
turer In Ireland has those waters but
themselves. The Wheeler Ginger Ale is
made from pure Jamaica Ginger Root and
not from Red Pepper, as others are; one
Is deleterious—the other is a tonic.
For Healthfulness and Purity the cele
brated Wheelar brand of Belfast Ginger
Ale Is the best.
