The weather was oxecrable, the snow fall- g in a blinding flurry all the afternoon and araw breezo muking physical comfort an im- possibility. Several small fires were kept blazing, but these were but a sad improve- ment on the wretched condition of things. The inclement weather was of course re- sponsible for the poor ' scores, which were without excoption the leauest made so far on the trip, The shooters once on the ground, thetraps were planted, C.

SHOES OF THE SH00T. The two teams lefu for Des Moiffes at 5 o'clock. ‘They will edify the Promibitionist th}; aftornoon. ‘Chippey"” Budd fell down on both singles and doubles, Wolsencroft seems to be the star of the pggregation. He is really a wonderful shot, ing but two birds yesterday out of and under the worst possible condi- tions. R “Bob White” Ruble is no good on doubles. and has been the sole cause of several of the defeats that have befallen the western toam. At siugles he is not at homs with the vest of them. *‘Bob White” is well known hero.

Uncle Den still has pretensions as a trap shooter, and never misses a tournament within a hun- dred wiles, ‘T'he eastern team is now four matches in the lead, and the wild and woolly westerners must look sharp or they will be badly left at i md of the trij 2 _“Baby Jim" Stice, the Omaha representa- tive of the combination, is doing about as £00d shooting as any of them. He is par- ticularly stroug in doubles. Dimick wantea Frauk Parmelee to accom- pany the combination for the restof tne trip, but owing to u press of business the invita- tion was declined. He is the equal of any man in the outfit, on either singles or doubles. Owing to the unfavorable weather the winning team declined to meet a local team. t is dollars to dimes that they wouid have been defentea if they had, for Messrs, Par- melce, Petty, Hughes, Brewer and Town- sena are well aole to cope with the best five of theentire combination. Rollo Heikes had au off day, but he came fn nobly on doubles, Stice made the best total of the western team, whilo Wolsencroft carried off the honors for the orientals ‘The Minager en Route. President McCormick is 1 receipt of a telegram from Frank Leonard, the new manager of the'Omaha ball team, announc- ing that he would leave Boston for Omaha last evening. He will probably reach this city Saturday evening or Sunday morning. ‘The entire team will be notified on Leonard’s arrival to report here on or before the 20th of March, And 80 you see the ball season is almost here. The Kar CuicaGo, March 6.—[Spacial Telogram to TaE Bk, |—-The great team shoot is now half over, and the Kausas City boys are one bird ahead. The day opened up very stormy. The snow lay on tae ground to the depth of four inches and was fallng fast up to noon. During the afternoon the sun shone out and made the reflection bad for good aiming. P e shooting park at Grand Crossing was reached at 10 a. m., and after a little pre- liminury work the ball opened with M. J. Eioh for Chicago and Ed Binghaw for Kan- sas City at the score. This race was close and well contested. The birds lingered @bout the trups us they got their feet in the snow and were not rapid in getting away. Score: Eich 42, Bingham 44, The next wam presented was U, . Felton for Chicago and W. M. Andersoa for Kansas City, The birds they had were not fast, and the score made was good. Anderson got 40 to Felton'’s 42, putting Kan- sas City 6 in the lead. Abe Kleinman and Ed Chouteau came %xl. The birds flew much faster and leloman upbeared to be slightly the favor- ite, but Chouteau cut the tailers down in fine style and won by 45 to 42, and Kansas City was 9 in the lead. " Buu the surprise was left for the next mateh. . P. Mussey killed 45 and B: Twitchell only 36, which made the match a tie. Thebirds 1 this race were getuing faster. ‘The next team fared badly w regard to birds, and they went away in great shape, not piung for two loads of shot. A, B. Price woul out on 39 and Vories ou 40, Vories should have had 41. Kansas City at the half-way post is one hird in the lead.

Endorsed the Prohibition Party. Prrrssrre, Pa., March 6.—[Special Teles gram to Tur Begr.]—Frances E. Willard president of the world's, and also the Na- tional Woman's Christian ‘Temperance union, at last opens her lips in regard to the recent paroxysm in that organization. She is here to attend a meeting of the Alle- gheny County Woman's Christian Temper- ance union, and in response to a question she said: “The Woman’s Christian Temperance union 18 neither partisan nor non-partis: though it has often been called both. Not a dollar has ever gone from our treasury to the prohibition party, though we have adopted resolutions endorsing a party tuat favors the tomperance cause. ‘Ihis we have repeatedly done for the republican party in Iowa and IKansas. In 1884 I presented to each national party a petition, ask- ing for the insertion of @& plank 1n their platform favorable to the submis- sion of & prohibitory amendment to the con- stitution, and all declined except the pro- hibition party, and that is why we endorsed it alone. ‘That resolution endorsing the rohibition party does not bind the minority. for we have explicitly deciared that no mi- nority is bound by any action of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. Towa hus obposed the resolution, and has been free to do so. Indeed. the president or its state Women’s Christian Temperance Union heads the reveliion, though she [Mrs. Dllen Foster| still remamns a member of the exccutive committee 0f vhe national Women’s Christian Temperance Union, Now, we claim that in passing our annual resolution we do no iujustics to any one. but maintain the right of free speech, and a minority of the Women's Christian Temper- ance Union is never ‘oppressed.” The fact is, we believe we ought to foilow the flag of prohibition wherever it waves. If thisis partisan, and so far as the resolution is con- cerned it is, we are prepared to defend it. ‘There is to be a party that will combine the farmer and wage worker, that will make its force felt in the nexu campaign, hibition party will form its nucleus. that party comes we wili side with it and take the consequences.” A Murderous Assaunlr. Cnicago, March 6 —A murderous assault was made on Detective Zanza last night by a party of which Thomas Brewer of Spring- fiold, IlL, & eambler, was the leader.

The petition of the Woman's Industrial league was presented asking that two women be appointed on the world’s fair committee of 1502, Referred. The entire morning was consumed 1n the discussion of & bill for the compulsory at- tendance of witnesses before registers and receivers of land officers, but no action was taken thereon. Nir. Lawler of 1llinois presented a petition signed by 6,000 postal railway clerks praying for an increase of salary. The house thon in the committee of the ‘whole proceeded to the consideration of pub- lic buildings bills. ‘The following bills were laid aside with favorable recominenaations: For a public building at Gulesburg, IlL, to cost $75,000; for a_public buiiding at Ashland, Wis., to A bill ‘culled up appropriating $200,000 for a public building at San Jose, Cal, was the ohject of a vigorous attack from Mr. Cannon of lilinois, He criticised the action of the committee on public : buildings and grounds and alluded to “pork in the pot.” In his own town, Dauville, te postoffice site was leased for $700 a year. That was sufficient for the postoftice building there, and more business was done there tuan the average business of towns where the committee pro- vided for the erection of public buildings. Milliken repled that nobody doubted the gentlvman’s town vas a oheap town, Caanon said he would content himself with votiug against bil's which his judgment told Lim were not proper. The gentleman must answer their constituents for their votes. Millien said ne would eudeavor to get along with his constituenis without a lecture from the gentloman from Illinois, If it was not for his friendly feelings toward the gen- tleman from Illinois he would suggest further that he had never seen & man at- tempt to 1mpute to another man that he had “‘pork in the pot” that he was not the first fellow to get a hand into the pot. Mr. Cannon asked the gentleman to be kind enough to explain his last remark. Did the gentleman mean to say that he (Cannon) had asked or intimated that hé desired the committee to recomrend any bill? Mr. Milliken said the gentleman had se- verely reflectea upon the committees. Mr. Cannon said he had criticised the com- mittee as he had a right to do. He had not criticized any gentleman personally, ‘‘and if the gentlemav,” he continued, *in’ bis zeal sought by inuuendo, or by intimidation to allege that if 1t had not, been for friendly re- lation with me he could urge aught against my character or otherwise, here and now let us have it As he was uttering these words he was slowly approaching Mr. Milli- ken, ana as he finished the seotence he tapped that gentloman on the shoulder amid the laughtér of the house. Throughout both gentlemen manifested & good deal of excitement, but the house was very good humored and thoroughly enjoyed the con- troyersy, which ended by Mr. Milliken dis claiming any intention to insinuate anything against a gentleman ‘*who was as nearly per- fect as any man iu the world.” Mr. Clunie -said that if ne had known the bill was going to create 8o much disturbance he might not have introduced 1t, but he had thought that it would not be immodest in bim, not having a puolic building in his dis~ trict, to usk congress 10 give him one, He did not believe that afier he had voted for every bill coming from the republican: side the gentleman from Illinois would create so much exciw:ment over the first bitl coming from the :lemocratic side. [Laughter.| After further debate the bill was laid aside favor- ably and the committes rising it, together with the preceding bills, was reported to the house, In the house Mr. Cannon mude a vigorous fight against the Washington postoftice bill, moving to adjourn amid cries of *dilatory motiou”” from the democrats and raising the pomt of no quorum amid shouts of **filibust- ering” from the same source. The speaker counted a quorum and the bill was passed, as were tha other bills reported favorably. Adjourned.

Another day has passed without the senate coming to a de- cision as to what shali be done with the newspaper correspondents who refuse to tell Dolph’s special committee how they get the proceedings of the executive session. The discussion today was devoted largely to the power of the sonate under the constitution t0 punish correspondents. Representative Taylor of Illinois today introduced in the house a bill to provide for the establishment of » l{llem of government telegraphs for the use of the government and the people to be operated as a part of the postal system. ‘The secretary of the treasury purchasod over $2,000,000 United States bonds today and thereby reduced the available sur- plus $25,000,000. As the secretary is disin- clined to reduce the surplus below $2,000,000 a few repetitions of today’s operations would soon result in the temporary suspension of bond purchases, at least so far as 4 per cents are concerned, A member of the Kunsas congressionui delegation had a conference with Secretary Proctor today 1n rogard to the proposed transfer of the headquarters of the deart- ment of the Missouri from Leavenworth to St Louis, and the sccretary consented (o defer action for a few days. The reason given for the proposed change is that it is regarded as undesirable to have the depart. ment headquarters and the post headquarters @t the same place. ‘T'he senate committee on military affairs toduy ordered a favorable report made upon the bill to appropriate money to reimburse the states of California, Nevada and Oregon for expenses incurred by them in aidivg in the suppression of the rebellion, ‘T'he house committes on Pucific railroads today resumed consideration of the Vande ver bill for refunding the debt of the Pacific railroads to the government and got shrough sixteen sections, which are substantislly like the Outhwaite bill and concern the Uniou Pacific alone. The remainder of the bill proposes a refunding plan o meet the case of the Central Pacitic railrond, and be- fore entering upon its consideration the question arose as to whether the commites should report a bill covering both companies or should present separate bills in the caso of the Uniou Pacific and Central Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Maroh 0.—Tho ways and means committee today heard the repre- sentatives of the Brewers’ association in op- position to the increase of the duty on hops, President Lefens of Chicago presented statisuics and argued that the increase of duty would not benefit the *American hop growers, a8 they produced all the hops re- quired for home consumytion except fow imported for flavoring beer. Vice President Scharman of the Brewers’ association argued in confirmation of Lefens' statement. Chairman McKinley read from a memorial Jjointly drawn up by the Brewers' associa- tion and the Hop Groswers' association, in which the former agreed to assist the hop growers in securing and mainteining ade- quate protection for their product. Witness admitted this was the fesult of an agreement by which the hop growers were to aid the brewers in preventing the enactment of prohibitory liquor laws. He mainteined that in prohibition states more Jiquor was drank than in states where li- censes wera granted, Dingley of Maine was much interested in this and endeavored to controvert it. He said the distillers sided witn the brewers in their opposition to prohibition, which would not be a consistent course if more whisky was consumed under a prohibitory law than in its absence. Scharman persisted, however, in the state- ment that prohibition decreased the con- sumption of beer and increased that of whisky. Granted a Rehearing. WasHINGTON, March 6.—The interstate commerce commission today gave a rehear- ing to the railroad companies in the matter of the rate on corn and corn products from Indianapoiis to the seaboara. On February 7 the commissfon made an order directing the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio roads to cease discrimination in these rates. ‘The railroads claim that the interests of the carriers and producers require a lower rate on corn than on its products. They also maintain that the assumption of the commis- sion that corn reaching tLe Indianapolis market is not affected by water competition is decidedly erronecus, dian affairs 1n g WasnINGTON, March 6,—The cross-exami- nation of ex-Postmaster Paul of Milwaukee before the house commigtee on the civil ser- vice was conducted today by Commissioner Roosevelt, who pressed Paul for an explana- tion as 10 bow it happened that at a certain time in the Milwaukue office each of six cer- tifications were 80 ‘‘cpoked”’ that six men en- titled were not, Wnd six men rot entitled were chosen.

New Yorg, March 6.—|Special Telegram to Tne BeEg.{—The baliroom of Oddfellows hall held a pig audience of sports lasy night assembled to witness a fight between George Dixon, the colored lightweight champion of Boston, and Jack Carey of Jersey City. The wishes of the spectators were clearly with Carey. In the first round Dixon lifted Carey oft his feev twice. The second round was disastrous to Carey, Dixon knocking him soveral times through tne ropes. Dixon’s Sullivanistic mode of fighting rattled his opponent, who tried to avoid his lightning- like left-handers. When time was callea for the third round Caraey was dazed and groggy in his knees. Dixon kept to his forcing methods and several times knocked his man down. A blow of terrific power and direct- ness knocked Carey under the ropas, and but for the support of those near the stage he would have had a heavy fall to the floor, At this stage the police “entered the ring and stopped turther fighting.

New York, March 6.—|Special Telogram to Tne Bee. |—Fireman Walker, who will probably be the leading witne: against Commander McCalla before the court of in- yuiry, made afidavit yesterday to the story of his treatment, in which he presented the statement that be was not drunk when ar rested and put in irons, and then sa; “I was trying t explain to Captain Me- Calla, but he was drunk himself, having just come from a vull ashore. He paid no attention to what I said, but ordered the officer of the watch to cut me down., His orders were not obeye® and Captain Me- Calla sent his orderly for his sword. At this time I was chained hand and foot to a nine-inch gun in the starboard gaugway near the starboard ladder. The irons were the latest pattern of prison shackies with spring locks, Three pairs were on me—one pair on my legs, another on my hands, and another chaining me to the gun. Captain McCalla shouted : *+*Stand clear while I cut him down.” “*Ho then walked behind me. Iwas chained in such a position that [ could not see what he was doing. He dealt me a terrible blow on the back of the head. My cap had fallen off and the blow cut deep into my head. Blood inst ntly beean to flow 1n a’ torrent down the back of my neck. **You should be proud of this,’ Isaid, af- ter ne struck me. ‘You are spilling the blood of a good southerner.’ **As I said this Captain McCaila ordered the marines standing by to gag me and ono of them put his bayonet 1n my mouth and tied it behind with a piece of hemp. I did not curse McCalla, but after I was gagged he struck me a second and third blow. As he struck the second time First Lieutenant Ingersoll cried out ‘For God's sake don’t kill the man,” and turned his head away €0 as not to see. As Captain McCalla struck me again ana brought me to my knees, 1 heard some of my mates forward shout, ‘Now you have done it,’ to the captain, ‘*‘Yes,’ sung out McCalla. Then he added, speaking to the watch: ‘Get that man there and I will do him the same way.’ The officer of the watch ran forward to get the man, but he had got away. Be- fore 1 became unconscious the captain or- dered the master-at-arms to bail up salt water. As the buckets were drawn up and placed on deck, Captain McCalla himself took them and threw water on me. By the time he finished with this the loss of blood and the shock of the cold water had driven me entirely out of my head. After that I remember nothing antil two days later.” As soon as he could he deserted. ‘Fhe Charges Against McCalla. WasiiNGToN, March 6.—A copy of the charges preferred by General Hastings against Commander McCalla and other offi- cers of the United States ship Enterprise of scandalous conduct at Bermuda have been referred by the secretary of the navy to the officers concerned for explanation. The charges are to tho effect that McCalla and three other officers were shamefully drunk and disorderly at Hamilton, Bermuda, on Sunday while the Enterprise was at anchor in the harbor with the dead body of the late Minister Pendieton on board. oS L DESPERATH HOLZHAY. e Tries to Stab a Deputy and is Wounded. MarqQuerTe, Mich.,, March 6.—Warden Tompkins of the penitentiary shot the no- torious train robber and murderer Holzhay through tho hand tonight in order to disarm bim. Holzhay had in some way secured a table krife and had grouna itdown toa point and was threatening the lile of a fel- low prisoner. 7The warden's shot cut all the fingers of Holzhay’s right hand off. Holzhay first seized a deputy keeper around the neck and threatened to cut his throat. Deputy Warden Hawley tried to get near whem but was compelled to desist be- cause of Holzhay’s threat to kill the keeper. Iinally the keeper escaped, when Holzhay seized a fellow convict named Meservey in the same manner, keeping his body be- tween himseif and the officer, so that'if he shot at him he must necessarily kill the other convict, and Warden Tompkins was sent for and for over two hours argued with and threatened the desperado, but to no ef- fect. Finally he sat down, still holding Me- servéy in front of him, but Tompkins sent 4 man around to the other end of the corridor who momentarily distracted Holz- hay’s attention when the warden succeeded in plantiog & builet in the hand which held the knife. Holzhay’s probable intention was to stab the night keeper and get out. He will probably do no more wischief now, us he is badly crippled. e A Victory for Major Wissman.

HE TELLS A TERRIBLE TALE ALL SATISFACTORY, Chicago Satisfles the World's Fair Committoe, WASTINGTON. March 6. —"We have had % sntisfuctory meeting,” said Chairman Chan- dler of the house world's fair committes to night after a conference between the com- mitteo and a delegation from Chicago which arrived here today. “They have sat- isfled the sub-committeo,” he added, “that they have bona flde subscriptions of $5,260.000 o begin with, every dollar of which is as good as eash. Thoy have also satistled us of thoir ability to casily raise the §10,000,000 guaranteed by Chicago. “Alto- gother we are much gratified at the showing made. The government was not asked for anything and thero was no suggestion that it should give any more than its name to the Yair.” During the conferonce Vice President Gage of tho Fivst National bank of Chicago explained the inancial situation and Senator Farwell vouchoed for the financial standing of various persons about whem the chairman asked. Mr. Gago said tho Fair association would be iucorporated and begin work in ten or twelye days and that this would quickly secure subscrivtions for $1,000,000. As to the government appropriation, the Chicago ropresentotives said they hud nothing to say. They left that with the committee and with congress. The question of postponing the fair until 1503 was voted on and it was evident there was a strong sentiment in its favor, though in titis matter also the Chicago men placed themselves in the hands of congress, Chi- cawo, thoy said, could finish hor buildings and make the fair a success if held in 1 With respect to the government appropri- ation Chairman Chandler said it had bean understood £1,500,000 was the outside limit, and this amount the comumittoe would name in the bill, sl g Nicaragua Uonstruction Gompauny.

Composed, as it is, of men who have faced the hard- ships and privations of froutier life, the practical questions which present them- selves for consideration are treated not in sentimental fashion, but settled en- tirely from the standpoint of common sense and good judgment, writesa Hu- ron, S. D., correspondent to the New York Morning Journal. A glance over the assembly shows us not ignorant, uncultivated border-rang- ers, but men of brain and brawn, who would grace any legislative hall in the world. Arthur C. Mellette,who has the honor of being the lirst governor of South Da- kota, is a man whom the state will al- ways be proud to remember. He was elected ata time when the state needed just such a clear-headed, far-sighted leader—a man who would do what he believed to be right, without regard to to popular sentiment. Such a man is Governor Mellette, and thie event will prove that his course has been a wise one. One would hardly expect to find in the far west and 1n the new west a pre- siding officer so thoroughly master of parliamentary tactics as E. Young, speaker of the house. The instinctive query rises: How came such a man here? Why is he not where he seems so truly to belong—in the national council halls? Mr. Young is an Ohio man, from the same district s0 long represented by Joshua R. Ged- dings and James A. Garfield. He grad- uated in 1871 from Hiram college under Mr. Garfield, add ten yezrs later he came to Sioux Falls, where he has since resided. Mr. Young and a very s by profession a lawyer, essful one. Mr. Young is the author of the fam ous Young ameudme to the prohibi- tion bill. 1In this,asin all things, he has stood firmly by his convictious of right despite the opposition of the ene- mies of temperance. As a presiding of- ficer Mr. Young never loses his dignity nor does he make mistakes. Among the men who are most promi- nent in the house are Messrs. Sol Star, W. S. O’'Brien. D. M. Inman. F. Le Coque, Merritt J. Gordon ana J. C. Simmons. Mr. Star is a Black Hills man from the city of Deadwood, where he has re- sided fourteen years. For the past six years be has béen mayor. Mr. Star is a successful business man.and one of the strongest members in the house,n rendy speaker and a master of logic. William S. O’Brien is_another stal- wart member from *‘the Hills.” He is a Maine man who came to the west in au early day. Mr. O'Brien drove an ox team with Fisk’s expedition 10 1866 from St, Paul to Helena. He is one of the men whom his constituency delight to honor. D. M. Inman is the representative from Vermllion. He is a native of the south and a staunch defender of the democracy. He s one of the regentsof the state uvniversity, and one of the most successful business men of the state. Merritt J. Gordon is a New York man, but has been a resident of Dakota for ten years. Mr. Gordon is eity attor- ney at Aberdeen and also president of the bar association of the [Fourth dis- trict. Though still a young wman Mr. Gordon has made his mark und is recog- od as one of the coming legal lights of South Dakota. Mr. Le Coque is a native of the west. During his eight years’ stay in Dak he has doue more toward inducing im migration than any other one mun Over four hundred good families hav found homes under his guidance. M Le Coque is a strong member and a val- unble citizen. J. C. mmons, the louding banker of Frederick. is another New Yor He is not less valuable in his capacity of ropresentative than wheu at home his counsel is sought in municipal affairs. Mr. Knight is one of those gen- eral utility men who can do a hundred things and do themall right. Mr. W. Summerside of Harold is u man with a remarkable history. His various enterprises and his wide travel constitute him one of the best informed and most valuable men in the body. Irving Ruggles Spoouer of Kings- bury county is a physicwn. His native place is Plainfield, N, J. Mr. Spooner is one of the many college-bred meun of the legislature, P. G. Wilson of Coddington is a Scotchman, but he has all of an Irish- mun’s ready wit, and the tedium of many & weury session has been broken by his sharp remarks. Mr. Wilson is the Charles Lamb of Dakoua. Alexander Meclutire came from New York in 1845 to try his fortuncs in the new west. e wus elected to the legis- lature by & majority of 700, which in a new country means almost everybody. Mr. Mclutire’s populdrity 18 well de- rved. J. L. Heintz s a St. Louis man. In the city of White Lake he holds almost a8 many positions as were given by the mikudo to the grand high executioner. Mv.

James W. Fowler of Rapid City was one of the men who led the charge against Morgan in Ohio. It was he who captured Basil Guke’s famous com- pany. Among the men in that com- pany was Judge Thomas, before whom Mr. ised law in Deadwood year. The remarkable fea- ture of the matter is that the judge and Mr. Fowler are the very warmest friends. One censes to wonder that the is progressive when her voters statesmen are reviewed. CONNECTICUT COINS, West and Rare Old Specimens Recently Un- earthed. Odd coins have recently been un- earthed in sevoral parts of the state in sudh quantities that New York numis- matics have had their attention at- trected this way. The soil of this old seems to have a statum of old copper and silver money under it. says a diss patch to the Globe-Democrat. Tn the cellar of the old Lester house in Dedyaru has been found an ivon pot partially filled with cop- per and silver picces, all of last century coinage, and worth no small sum of money. They 'have been sent to New York for aporaisal. Tt is supposed they were buried in the celiar more than one hundred years ago. James S. Cook Hartford has found in the deep and fer- tiie silt of the Conuecticut river which orms the north meadows a gevuine old “pine tree shilling,” coined in 1625, The coik was in the shelving, crumb- ling ik not three feet from where the river is nearly eating into the meadow. Th spot is known locally as “Capn Cook’s fishing place,”” whe: n old tim the seiners used to draw in loads of bounc- ing shad and where the colonists and later residents used to hold the old- fusbioned *fish fries.” Long-handled ng-pans, fish, sliced potatoes and onions and Santa Cruz rum were the features of these jolly feasts. The pros- ence of the shilling there thows that these carousals must have been in vogue Lwo zenturies ago. Fdward Kennedy of Windsor, has fou..d another of the shillings in the earth. Windsor was one of the oldest settlements in the colonies. These coins were struck by the Massachusetts colony to supply uneeded rmoney, and theyv are very rave. It 1is a fact of history that the man who coined them was allowed one in a hun- dred for his pay, and that he became very rich, When his daughter was married his wedding present to her was her weight'in shillings. The coins are now sought for by fanciers, who pay large prices for them. Kennedy's coin is a little battered. It contains the ab- breviated Latin legend, the rude pine tree and the “XII,” (twelve pence cents) that -all these pieces had, with the date 1¢ H. T.
