Orders have received from Washington by the superintendent of the Mint to suspend all work of the routine sort, in fact all the work upon which he has been en- gaged recently and to turn out as many | twenty-dollar gold pieces in the next two months as possible. Before a final order was issued to proceed exclusively with the minting of twenty-dollar gold | pieces a query was sent out as to what could be done. Superintendent Leach answered that it would be possible to coin $80,000,000 in the designated gold golns in two months. The Government did not seem to be satisfled with this large output and desired that the total should be increased by at least $10,000,000, mak- ing the total gold coin production from $40,000,000 to $45,000,000. The people at | the Mint will now try to make the rec- | ord of $40,000,000 at least in the suc- ceeding two months and the machinery and skilled men will be kept steadlly | at work day and night for the period | mentioned. WHY IT IS WANTED. States bee: The orders from Washington did | not specify for what purpose the money is to be used, but as the mints of the country have been working upon the new Philippine coinage, which is all silver, and as the amount ordered from the San Francisco Mint lies with the amount that is to be id to Panama and the French stock- holders of the old Panama Canal Com- P Mr. Leach believes that a San Francisco coinage is to be used for this purpose. Work upon this hurry- up order is already under way and the | Mint is full of activity. Mr. said last night: “I received an order about the 1st uary from Washington to coin e gold possible within the next s, the intention being to turn | ast $45,000,000 in that time, ill be the largest coinage ever p Leach | accomplished by the United States vernment in the same perfod of We shall turn out, I think, | out $1,000,000 a day, which means | about two tons of bullion. | “Fhe reason for this heavy eolnage | of gold is that for the past year and a half we have been working upon sil- ver and only coined gold at times when the silver ran short. During | the last calendar year the coinage has been nearly all silver, allowing the gold to accumulate until at the pres- time we have nearly one hundred on dollars worth of gold bullion stored in the vaults of the San Fran- | cisco Mint. This gold has been com- | ing in since 1897, and in the last two | months we have received almost nine on dollars in gold from Japan, A this must also be coined as soon as possible. Another reason for the neglect in the coinage of gold has been | the necessity of turning out a large | amount of Philippine silver. | “I believe. however, that there are other reasons for this order for a heavy | coinage of gold. According to the dally papers, the Government is being brought face to face with several large payments, aggregating in the neigh- barhood of $80,000,000, and I believe that it is to obviate the necessity of calling in the deposits in the nationzl banks | that this order has been issued. A no- tice was served upon these banks about the same time that the order was re- ceived by the San Francisco Mint to prepare to meet a demand for twenty per cent of these deposits and I think that the Treasury Department has de- cided to coin the bullion now on hand rather than call in the deposits, or any | part of them, in the national banks. NOTHING UNUSUAL. “There is nothing unusual in the or- B | ger excepting the short time given for { the coinage of $45,000,000 in gold, which, as I have said, is the largest amount ever coined in this, or, I believe, in any | | country in the same period of time. ent | ter have | dummy sections, while the seats on the | the dummy [ELECTRIC CARS ON NEW ROUTES United Railroads Is Making Changes Preparatory to Im- proving the Local Serviee SR BIG MOTORS ARRIVING Traveling Public Will Be Af- forded More Conveniences on Their Trips Around the City HIREEE G S The announcement was made yes- terday by Manager Chapman of the United Railroads that beginning to- morrow a number of changes will be made in the present routes of electric car lines. On the park and ocean line inbound cars, by way of H street, which now run along Frederick, Stanyan, Page, Devisadero and Ellis streets, will after Monday be operated along Fillmore street, instead of De- visadero, and the outbound cars will be operated by way of Ellis, Hyde, O'Farrell. Fillmore, Oak, Stanyan, Frederick and H streets, the change In the routing being the substitution of Fillmore street for Devisadero, as in the case of the inbound cars. Another change will be on the Ma- sonic-avenue line. The present route of the inbound cars is by way of Parnassus avenue, Stanyan, Carl, Clay- ton and Frederick streets, Masonic avenue and Page street, thence to Fill- more and Oak streets. Outbound cars travel via ‘Oak street, Masonic avenue, Frederick, Clayton, Carl and Stanyan streets and Parnassus avenue. Under the proposed change the cars will not run by way of Oak and Page streets, | and the terminal of the inbound cars will be at Oak street and Masonic ave- nue, instead of Oak and Fillmore streets. The changes are made preliminary to the Introduction of the new and larger cars on the main lines of the | electric service. The majority of these cars have already arrived from the East and are now being put together in the shops of the company. The cars are of the most modern com- | bination type, 893 feet long, and weigh 33,5600 pounds. They differ materially from the | combination car now in use. The lat- longitudinal seats on the new cars face to the front and are divided by an aisle, an arrangement made feasible by the law requiring the adoption of air brakes on all double- truck cars. Iron railings extend along sections, thus preventing | persons from alighting while the cars are in motion. Another feature of the new cars is that they have only one exit on each side, which regulates the getting on and off of the cars on the right-hand side, or side farthest from the ralls of the car running in the opposite direc- tion. An innovation will be an elec- | tric button, by which means passen- gers that wish to alight will be re- lieved of the annoyance of having to rise and signal the conductor when cars are crowded or the conductor's attention 1is being diverted. These buttons connect with an electric bell, | the ringing of which will advise the conductor of the desire of the passen- ger to alight. PR BT B Jury Fails to Indict Boxers.

Robert Collyer, the veferan New York minister. “I can speak feelingly from experience. On one occasion when Henry Ward Beecher asked me to go to Plymouth Church to talk to his peo- ple, he remarked—jokingly, let us hope—that most of them were hard- work folk who needed plenty of rest on Sunday, and he felt that a sermon from me might be gratefully received. “In the course of my talk I men- tioned this and sald it was, however, { & matter upon which my feelings could not be hurt, and that I owed this im- { perviousness to Mr. Beecher himself. I told them that, one Sunday, years before, when I was attending a ser- vice at old Plymouth and Mr. Beecher was thundering forth, I saw one of his deacons asleep in a front pew. “] went on to say that always after this, whenever I saw a man slumber- ing peacefully through my most stir- ring efforts in the pulpit, I would say to myself: ‘Well, let him sleep; even the great Beecher can't keep 'em all islands.

The boy, who was visiting his indul- gent aunt, had eaten heartlly of the preserves. “Don’t’ you think you've had enough, Willie?”? she asked. “Don’t know,” he replied. “Don’t know?” “Nope. Can't tell yet,” he sald. “But what do you think?” “Ain’t any use thinking at all. I got to know. Thinking don’t help any 1f you think wrong.” “Well, you're the most remarkable boy I ever knew,” sald his aunt. “When will you know?” “In half an hour.” “And how will you know?” “Why, that’s easy,” replied the wise boy. “If I ain’t sick in half an hour I'll be sorry 1 didn’t take more, and if I am sick I'll bé sorry I took so much. That’s the only way to tell that I know.” 3 His aunt admitted that it left no room for doubt, but she tried to point out that it was rather unsatisfactory, to which the boy merely replied that he .wished there was a better way but he didn’t know of @ any.—Brooklyn Eagle. ————— .

A mock stage tragedy at Warsaw recently took on a very realistic as- pect. The piece was Tschaikowsky’'s ‘““Bugenvo Onegin,” in which there is a duel in which the tenor, who on this occasion was M. Lebedeff, is shot by Onegin, falling dead on the boards without a cry. In fact, on the pistols being discharged, Lebedeff fell utter- ing loud cries of pain, and on being carried behind the scenes it was found that he had been shot in the eye, which was utterly destroyed. At pres- ent nothing is known as to how a bul- let got into the pistol, but a good deal of suspicion attaches to the case.— London Globe. The ken- | Wedding Customs of Breton.
