C. Special?The report of Mr. George E. Roberts, director of the mint, upon the operations of the mint service during the fiscal year ended June .10, 1901, has been completed. The coinage of the mints during the fiscal year amounted to 176,990,132 pieces, of the value of $136,240,781. Of this $99,063,715 W2s in gold; $24,293,830 was in Gilver dollars, 310,966,648 was in fractional silver and $2,009.568 was in minor coin. The coinage cf silver dollars during the year wa3 wholly from the stock of bullion accumulated under the act of July 14, 1S90. The amount of thl3 bullion on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year was S2.26S.054 standard ounceG, and at the end of the year 32,562,927 standard ounces. The coinage of this bullion has been accelerated to enable the treasury to retire the treasury notes issued on its purchase and at the same time eupply the pressing demand' which has existed throughout the year for the small denominations of money required in retail trade. The original deposits of gold at the mints and assay offices amount to $153,101,580, an Increase of$l9.1S1,561 over the preceding year. Of thie $27,906,489 was in foreign coin; $17,600,483 that of Great Britain, nearly all being from Australia and $50,425,500 that of Japan. The estimated production of gold in the United States during the calendar year 1900 was $79,171,000, and notwithstanding the fact that this country led the world in production, its imports exceeded its exports by $12,866,0i0. The production of North America, practically all of which comes to the United State6, was $110,151,500. The world's coinage of gold In the calendar year of 1900 was $354,935,197, and of silver $117,011,902. The industrial consumption of gold in the United States during the calendar year 1900 is estimated at $16,667,500 ,and of the world, approximately $75,000,000. The stock of subsidiary coin in the country is limited by law to $100,000,000 and on November Lst, 1901. the existing stock was $90,613,512. The report says that it is not improbable that before another Congress shall have opportunity to act. the growing needs of the country will have absorbed the entire amount authorized. t?. that tho limit of the Jt ICS CUoO IUMI country's stock of subsidiary coin be raised to at least $120,030,000. No good reason is aparent.says the report.why the coinage of dollar pieces should not be allowed to cease and all of the ;..lvcr on hand be used in subsidiary coinage. The Bonine Trial. Washington. Special.?Counsel for the defense in the trial of Mrs. Lola Ida Boriine for the murder of James Seymour Avres. Jr., Saturday, precipitated a lengthy argument over the right to ask an expert witness cer tain hypothetical questions bearing on the hip wound of Ayres. The court directed the jury to retire during the discussion. The defense stated that it would endeavor to show by the witness. Dr. W. P. Carr. that ha ffivpmmpnt's contention that Ayres received this wound at long range, was wholly untenable from Ihe very nature of the wound. The court will render its decision Monday. Roosevelt's First Bill. Washington. Special. ? Pres'dont Roosevelt Saturday signed the first bill sent to him by Congress, thus creating thp first law to be enacted under his administration. It was the act to admit free of duty and to permit Iht transfer of foreign exhibits from the Pan-American Exposition of the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition at Charleston, S. C. A Negro Lynched. Lake Charles, La., Special.?Saul Poydras, a negro, who cut Chief Deputy Richard and wife seriously Th'.irs day nighe, was lynched here Saturday morning. Poydras was arrested at Welsh and the officers were about to lodge him in the parish prison, when a mob overpowered the guards, took charge of Poydras, and hanged him to an electric light pole. Marr'ed By Telegraph. Bowling Green, Ky., Special.?Miss Maude Wilcutt stood in the telegraph office here and became the bride of Dr. J. W. Simmons, of Peaster, Tex. They were married by wire. The questions I were asked from tho Texas end by a justice of the peace and were answered by Mi&3 Wilcutt. Mis3 Wilcutt at present is teaching school in Butler county. She and Dr. Simmons recently met while travelling. The operator and newspaper acquaintances were the Bowling Green witnesses to the nrrriages Mrs. Simmons will leave next week for Texas to join her husband. NEGRO SUPERSTITION. gonle of Them Are Jast Like the Ones Held by Their VI hlto Brethren. Many cf the negro superstitions in Kentucky are quite interesting. An old philosopher told me with great gravity: "If you want peppers to grow, you must git mad. My old 'oman an' me had a spat, an' I went right out an* planted my peppers, an' they came right up." Still another saying is that peppers, prosper, must be planted by a red-headed or by a high-tempered person. The negro also says that one never sees a jailbird on Friday, for the bird visits his satanlc majesty to "pack kindling" on that day. The three signs in which the negroes place implicit trust arc the wellknown ones of the ground hog appearing above ground on the 2d of February; that a hoe must not be carried through a house or a death will follow, and that potatoes must be planted in the dark of the moon, as well as all vegetables that ripen in the ground, anil that corn must be planted in the light of the moon. Feed gunpowder to dogs and it will make them fierce. A negro will not burn the wood of a tree that has been struck by lightning, for fear that his house will burn or be struck by lightning. If a bird files Into a house it brings luck. If a crawfish or a turtle catches your toes it will hold on till it thunders. When a child I was told by a black nurse that if a bat alights on one's bead it will stay there till it thunders. This was so terrifying that even now I have an unnecessary fear of being clutched by a bat. To make soap, stir it with a sassafras stick in the dark of the moon. Hli Royal Highness.

He was riding on a London 'hus incog, not many months ago, and, being of an inquiring turn of mind, asked the driver, beside whom he sat, his reason for exclaiming, whenever he whipped up one of the horses, "Come up, your royal highness, will you?" "Why do you call him royal highness?" asked the duke. "Well, sir," he replied civilly, " 'cause he's so 'orty and lazy, and good for nothing! See?"
