THREATENED BOYCOTT.
BY KNIGHTS OF LABOR AGAINST NA-
TIONAL BANK NOTES
No Serloe* Ueeolia Would follow—N*.
ttonal Bank Notaa Not Mad* Legal
Tender by Statute—Impoeiible to force
Any one to Accept Them In iudisidual
Transaction*.
'Chicago, July 19—A special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
Officers of the treasury, front Secretary
Carlisle down, were today discussing
the threatened bayoott by the Knights
of Labor against National bank notes.
After careful consideration of the
question in ail its phases Secretary
Carlisle expressed the opinion to one
of his advisors that no serious results
would follow snob a boyoolt. His
opinion Is based upon flgnres regarding
the circulation of National bank notes.
The amount of these outstanding Jane
T, 1895, was only $206,579,499 and of
this amount, about $20,000,000 is held
by banka. National bank notes never
have been made legal tender by statnte,
eo It Is trne It would be Impossible to
force any person to accept them in
individual transactions. They are,
however, available for use by the gov
eminent in payment of all Its obliga-
tions except, for Interest on the poblio
debt and redemption of the national
onrrenoy. They are also receivable by
the government as taxes, excises tor
public lands and for all obligations due
the government except duties ou im-
ports. Section 5, 196 provides that
National banks are compelled to accept
these notes as legal tender.
Washington, July 19—At the treas
ury department It is said the plan of
the Knights of Labor boycotting na-
tional bank notes, If carried out, would
prove more harmful than beneficial to
the labor Interests of the country, as it
would oontreot the onrrenoy to the
extent of $211,000,000 without Injuring
the national banks.
“It would not hurt the banks at all,”
saidO. P. Tuoker, deputy opmpToller
of the currency. ‘‘If the people should
refuse to reoatve their notes the banks
would t-lmply present them to the
United States treasury for redemption
and secure legal tender notes, whiob
they would continue to U3e in their
business. There are only $211,000,000
of national bank noteB in cironlation,
while there are $950,000,000 of other
kinds of money outstanding.”
Fliherin jn In Trouble.
St Paul, Minn , July 19—A Duluth
speolal to Pioneer Pres9 says: The re-
port comes from Crane Lake of an en-
counter between Americans of that
plaoe and Canadian officials. The
trouble arose over the Canadians tak-
ing np and confiscating nets set in
Namekon lake, on the ground that they
were placed in Canadian waters. Light
men belonging to the Arlon Fish com-
pany started oat in seeroh of their
nets when suddenly three boats, load-
ed with Canadian officials, darted oat
from behind the island and pursued
them.
. The little steamer Majflower on her
way to Crane Lake, came along and
Captain Hayes pat on all steam to
resone the fishermen. In the excite-
ment the Carter struck one Canadian
boat, smashing it In pleoes and spill-
ing four officials into the lake. Three
of the fishermen also fell oveiboard,
but no one was drowned. The Carter
picked np all tha fishermen, except H.
®. Feuoke, Emil Ames and Wm. 81m,
who were captured by Canadians and
taken to Fort Francis. *

It spread to the basement of Frick &
Co. shoe dealers and for some time
threatened the store of the Hayward
arms oompany adjoining, where there
is always maoh gun powder on hand.
’ The losses aggregate $20,000, three
fourths of which fell on the Hat Com-
pany. The bra is supposed to be in
oendlary. __

BISHOP POTTER’S EXAMPLE.
In these days, when ministers are
packing* their steamer trunk for a voy-
age across the water and for a vacation
in dear old England, Brittany or the
Levant, it is interesting to learn that
one eminent clergyman has decided to
put in part of the holiday season by
working in the slums of a great city.
Bishop Potter’s unselfish sacrifice—or
better, his sensible view of a clergy-
man’s duty—might well be considered
by other ‘‘wearersof tho cloth. ”—Phil-
adelphia Record.
By taking np his residence for the
midsummer at the Cathedral mission in
Stanton street Bishop Potter shows his
own earnestness and sets before the
Episcopal clergy of this diocese an ex-
ample of personal activity in the direc-
tions and according to the methods of
religions philanthropy which he has
pointed out and advocated so often in
his pastoral addresses.—New York Sun.

Water Wheels.
Tho point is made by a writer in one
of _>,the .mechanical journal:! that the
greatest obstacle now encountered in
the successful operation of water wheels
is, from an economical aspect, the too
often entire absence of engineering skill
in utilizing the power, and that many a
water power would develop greater effi-
ciency were it properly controlled and
had the turbine been selected because of
its adaptability to tho conditions and
been properly set. On their introduc-
tion, he remarks, turbines were used
singly, but now they are used either
singly or in sets of two or three or more,
as expedient, and in batteries of sets;
by the use, too, of iron or steel pen-
stocks and- feed pipes the expense of in-
stalling has been largely reduced and
far greater economy in the use of water
secured; the growing demand for large
units of power has also been satisfied,
so that whereas a few years hack a 500
horsepower turbine was almost unheard
of, turbines of 5,000 horsepower are
now employed.
Two Domestic Vetoes by Mr. Cleveland.
While Mrs. Cleveland is a domestic
woman she had at one time an ambition
to play golf, but when the matter was
broached to Mr. Cleveland he firmly but
kindly declinod to consider it, both be-
cause he did not like it as a recreation
for a woman and because also be thought
that it was an undignified amusement
for the wife of a president of the Unit-
ed Status. When Mrs. Carlisle was first
considering bicycling and before she had
become an adopt at it, Mrs. Cleveland
had the idea that possibly she would
like to ride a bicycle. The suggestion of
this to the president met with the same
response as the golf idea, so Mrs. Cleve-
land does not play golf and does not
ride a wheel.—Cincinnati Commercial-
Gazette.
Chicago to Rival Eiffel.

It is said that practical steps have boon
taken to insure the carrying out of the
project. Anything in Chicago that will
enable a person to get far above the oity
and see places a long distance away
ouaht to be a success.—New York Sun.

The bishop of New York has become

to fulfill the wide duties of his eminent
office it is important that he should do
so. —Springfield Republican.
Now, it is one thing to read prayers
in a bedroom in Fifth avenue with the
air artificially cooled and everything
soft and beautiful and smelling of clean-

another tiling to read prayers in an Es-

with the bed in one cornor and the on-
ion soup cooking on the stove in the
other corner; with two rats fighting
under tho bed and the baby shrieking at
one window and the doorway full of
curious, peering faces. — New York

More Freakish Than Jersey Lightning.
During a thunder storm recently at
Butte, Mon., lightning struck thowresi-
dence of Fred C. Anderson, and a ball
of firo like a cannon ball struck the roof
and passed back and forth through every
room of the house, going through parti-
tions like a ball of iron, and for fully
two minutes it gyrated about the house,
making 11 large holes in walls and ceil-
ings, melting picture wires and other
metal in the rooms and finally escaping
along the water pipes without setting
fire to anything.
There were five persons in the house
at the time, but the only injury they
suffered was a bad fright and a tempo-
rary deafness.—Rocky Mountain News.
