The presence here at this time of Robert G. Ingersoll on Supreme Court business and the present prominence of Gen. John M. Palmer in | Illinois politics recall an incident in their public careers, It was in the Illinois campaign of 1868. Gen. Palmer, who had been an old- time democrat, served with considerable dis- tinction during the war, and under the changed condition of parties succeeding that struggle trained for a number of years with the young and vigorous reputlican party. He was popular and the leaders of his party had deter- mined to make him governor, but he felt him- seif too poor to accept the governorship, thongh be was ambitious and willing to go to the United States Senate. The then uncrowned Robert was serving as attorney general by appointment, “and Palmer — urged him to come out for governor, which he finally consented to do on the understanding that Palmer was not a candidate and would not accept the nomination. The Ingersoll boom was yery auspiciously opened with a big meeting at Canton, which the now famous infidel addressed in his most eloquent | style. His religious views, though freely ex- ressed tohis friends, had not entered the Inglish classics then, but the Methodist church, | which in those days owned a controlling inter- est in the republican party, got onto his trail, | and the convention was forced to give him the go by. Asa result Gen. Palmer was nominated and what was worse inthe mind of Ingersoll, accepted the nomination. Kobert walked ont of the convention disgusted and held aloof from politics till his famous speech nominating Blaine in the Cin- cinnati convention of 1876. After that he re- turned to the aloof business, in which he has been engaged most of the time since. Palmer was elected. His term of office covered the Chicago conflagration season, when he had a little tilt with Gen. Sheridan over policing the city during its demoralization, but in many ways his administration was popular. In 1888 as democratic candidate for governor he was defeated by Private Joe Fifer to the modest tune of 5,000, and this year he is to be nomi- nated in state convention for United States Senator on the democratic ticket, but it is un- derstood Mr. Ingersoll will not lend him much aid in what promises to be a battle royal. ————— GEOR ‘OWN, Pottce Court Cases.—William alias John onesty and Dora Jenkins disturbed the quiet of Fowler's alley yesterday and Policeman seno arrested them.

A gentleman writing from *heffield, England, says: “In a grimy little inu of this place I found the landlord quietly smoking his pipe. I wanted to smoke, but had neither pipe nor tobacco, but that mattered not. The good Jandlord brought from his collection a pipe of the ‘church warden’ variety, so long that, the stem once in my mouth, I had to slip forward a yard or so to reach the bowl. For tobacco he placed a tin boxon the table. It was about 1 foot loug, 8 inches wide and perhaps 6 deep. There was_a slit in the cover. Into this the landlord dropped a big English penny, whereupon the lock was released with a click and, having raised the cover,we filled our pipes with the tobacco lying loose inside. It was a crude but effective example of the nickel-in- the-slot machine. “his box,’ said the landlord, ‘is always in the smoking room for the con- venience of the guests who are out of tobacco, and the pennies dropped in to secure a pipeful just about pay for keeping the supply undi- ininished."* ‘f should thing I suggested, “that the box, once opened, all the tobacco might be extracted by some conscienceless vagabond, Your box isn’t modern. It ought to be so contrived that only a limited rps could be obtained for each wea ‘I don’t think,’ he responded, ‘that the box has suffered much from dishonest users, and us for being modern, of course it isn't. That box has been in use in this hotel for more than one hundred and fifty years, and is probably the forerunner of ail the penny-in-the-slot machines now so common all over England, and America, too, as I understand.’ The box was certainly bat- tered and dusty enough to have been in use that length of time, and there seems to bé no reason to doubt the landlord’s statement with regard to it.” “ —— Decoyed From Canada. Alphonse Chacaine, who broke into the Del- aware and Hudson depot at Cohoes and Green Island last week and stole some money and a lot of railroad tickets, was arrested last night at Platteburg, N.Y., having been decoyed here from Montreal by a bogus telegram.

E SHE QASSED THE EXAMINATION, But When She Was Appointed it Was * Bound She Was Slightly Tinted. THE CaSE OF MISS BROOKS—A PRINTER IN THE ENGRAVING AND PRINTING BUREAU WHO BR- FUSED TO WORK WITH HER DISMIBSED—ANOTHER SICK—TEE UNION SUPPORTS ITS MEX. ‘Frank Flood is the name of a good-looking young colored woman of a very light hue who has stirred up a breeze among the pressmen and printers’ assistants at the bureau of en- graving and printing. She took an examina- tion last July before the civil service commis- sion for the position of printer's assistant and passed very high, having been well educated, and was recently certified to Capt. Meredith, chief of the bureau, by the commission, WITHOUT ANY REFERENCE TO HER COLOR, Her personality was absolutely unknown in the matter. When she appeared there was some talk of a refusal to accommodate her on the part of the printers, but the names of the pressmen running the two presses that needed assistants were drawn from W hat and to Fred Johnson the girl was assigned. He immediately tendered his resignation, but Capt. Meredith refused to accept it, recom- mending his dismisal instead. 'rinter was the other man and he, too. demurred, wit athreat of the same fate confronting him. This was on Saturday, and this morning Levy sent word to Capt. Meredith that he was too ill to come to work, A reply was sent to him that if he did not turn up tomorrow and accept Miss Flood as his assistant he should be dismissed. There was but one alternative. SECRETARY WINDOM APPROVES CAPT. MEREDITH'S COURSE. It is understood that Secretary Windom quite approves of Capt. Meredith's course, which is simply following out the law regarding civil service appointments, The girl was certified to him as a printer’s assistant at $1.25 a day, and there is nothing for him to do but to put her at work atthe first vacant press, Pending « solution of the problem she is working as a messenger. THE PLATE PRINTERS UNION COMMITTEE have determined to support their comrades in the matter, but deny that the rebellion is based on any grounds of color. They allege that the printers have a grievance in not being allowed to have some voice in the selection of their assistants, but, on the other hand, Capt. Mere- dith states that it is the custom to put assist- wnts at work for a month on trial and that if they prove incompetent they shall be put on other work. Senator Hiscock, whose name has been men- tioned in connection with the appointment of ‘Mies Flood, had absolutely nothing to do with the matter. MONEY GOOD TO BUY THINGS. What the Coins of the Realm are Really Worth Intrinsically, “Supposing that the business of manufactur- ing United States dollars of legal intrinsic value has been successfully prosecuted there would be no reason why other coins of this country should not be produced even more profitably in like manner by private industry.” This was the sum of what Mint Director Leech at the Treasury department had to say yesterday to a Star writer. “The silver dollar” he remarked,” is worth at present intrinsically three cents more than when it was first coined under the Bland act, owing to the higher price of silver. It now contains, as issued by Uncle Sam, 75 cents’ worth of the precious metal. I have heard surprise expressed because the dollar, as one might say, was not originally made worth a dollar. The reason of this, however, 13 very simple. To begin with, the silver dollar was a coinadopted by the Spanish colonies of the Americas. It was uccepted by the United States asa standard of value in 172. and has been kept of the same intrinsic worth ever since, for onereason because it would not do to have United States silver dollars of different issues varying in such a point, The amountof silver in it waa determined by law at 37134 grains, THIS HAS NOT CHANGED, but the fineness has been altered—in other words less copper is put in now than formerly — which means that the so-called dollar of our daddies was heavier than ours. The silver dol- lar now is composed of nine-tenths silver and one-tenth copper, conforming to what is called the ‘nine-tenths standard.’ ” “How about half dollars?” “The silver half dollar has less intrinsic value proportionally than the dollar—that is to say, there is not as much silver in two fifty-cent pieces as in one whole dollar. Half dollars are worth, in the sense we speak of, 35 cents apiece at present market rates for metal. They are made purposely debased, so that they will not be taken out of the country for circulation abroad. Likewise this same remark spelen to the quarter dollar and dime, which have an intrinsic value exactly proportionate to the fifty-cont piece. In fact all three are made from the same metallic mixture. The quarter is worth 173¢ cents and the dime 7 cents.” GOLD PIECES. “Thus it would appear that the government makes twenty-five cents on every silver dollar it coins and more yet on the three fractional silver pieces?” “That is undoubtedly true; but so long as the government isthe people and the pee le are the government, what is the odds mn the other hand every United States gold piece con- tains ite full face value of gold, beside one- tenth of its weight in copper for hardening. It might appear that a person provided with sufti- cient capital could buy a great quantity of ten- dollar gold coins, separate the gold, take it to the mint to be recomed free of charge—as Uncle Sam is obliged to do it—and have the copper lett over as so much gain, Unfortu- nately, however, there is a certain loss of gold in separating the metals, not to mention the expense of performing the operation, and eo such a scheme could scarcely be managed. For turning ordinary old gold, not melted coin, into new-minted gold pieces the government charges two cents an ounce—not for the coining, but for the copper necessary to put with the goid.” ONLY TOKENS. “And how is it with nickels and pennies: “With them it is quite a different matter. They are merely tokens, not supposed to repre- sent anything like full’ intrinsic value. The nickel,so called, has only three-fourths of acent’s worth of metal in it—in fact that is all itcosts Uncle Sam apart from the ——_ of stamp- ing. It contains three-fourths copper and one-fourth nickel. The copper or bronze penny is only worth three-tenths of a cent. It iscom- of 95 per cent pure copper and § per cent tin and zine. The government does not make its pennies and nickels itself, you know. They are turned out by millions from a foun- dry up in Connecticut, owned by the Philade!- phia firm of Merchant & Co., where they are cut by Yankee machinery from sheets of metal rolled the proper thickness. Subsequently they are stamped by the mints and put in cir- culation as coin.” “It is proposed to discontinue the coinage of the three-cent nickel?” “Yes, and of the one dollar and three dollar gold pieces, too. The nickel three-cent piece never had any use except to dishonest persons, who made it do duty ssa dime. One-dol- lar gold coins are no longer seen save on bangles and in coin collections. As for the three-dollar gold piece, it is only to be regret- ted because it is the prettiest coin ever issued by this government.” ————— The American window glass trust organized about six months ago haa run the price of glass up from 15 to 25 percent.
