TAUGHT HIM A LESSON I RosiiIm Exhibitor at the World's Fair Whose Respect tor Uncle Sam and Hia Ean-a Ha* Been Increased by Experience which Cost Him Enough In Money and Apprehension to Make a Lasting Impression. ,r Washington, July 17.—A violation of the D nited States revenue laws by a Russian exhibitor at the World's fair resulted rather badly for the exhibitor, and had the treasury department not tempered justice with mercy the matter would prohably have ended more seriously. The exhibitor in question, J. S. Levitz, sold some jewelry in his display that had been admitted duty free for exhibition purposes only. Ilis exhibit was seized and would have been confiscated, but Mr. Levitz made a . proposal to the collector of customs at Chicago agreeing to pay $350 as a fine and all costs connected with the custody of the exhibits, together with the payment of the regular duties on hisentire display, excepting a few articles to be designated by the collector to remain on exhibition. The collector recommended to the treasury department that the offer be accepted, and Mr. Levitz deposited the amount of his offer in the treasury. An approval of the offer was given by the solicitor of the treasury, and the department has accordingly accepted it. THE NATIONAL CURRENCY. • Letter from Henry Clews to Comptroller JEekles Washington, July 17.—Comptroller Eckles has received the following1 letter from Hfenry Clews, the well-known banker: New York. July 14. Hon. John AT. Eckles, Comptroller of the Currenejf, Washington: > Dear Sir—The national bank act certainly should be amended to provide for notes beta? issued up to the par value of United States bonds. Another amendment would also be wise, to provide an issue of notes against the surplus capital of the national banks to the extent of 75 per cent, thereof. These two changes in the law would make an increase in the national currency amounting to about $150.000,000. and would provide the nation with enough for its needs and it would be the best and most legitimate kind, besides. The New York banks now have a surplus over capital of $70,000,000. The national banks of other cities and elsewhere have probably $100,000,000 in addition. This backing in cash or its equivalent to the tootes issued against the same would make them the strongest and most legitimate character of money in circulation. No stronger kind of money could be devised. The surplus against which the issue of these notes would be made would be under the national bank examiners. The constant increase in the surplus of the tanks would als3 give an elastic character to such - money, which is a very desirable feature. Yours very truly, Henry Clews. A PECULIAR ACCIDENT. Struck from Behl-ui While on an Errand of Mercy. Washington, June 17.—A freight train collision occurred near here yesterday under unusual conditions. The crew of an outgoing train saw a man lying near the track apparently injured, and in accordance with the rules of the road the train was stopped and an investigation made. It was found that the man'was unconscious from a wound in the head and a fractured leg. He was placed in the caboose, but before the train could be started another freight, also outward bound, came along and crashed into the standing cars. The men in the caboose had not time to remove the body of the injured man, barely escaping the wreck themselves by jumping. It is said by rare good fortune the collision did not aggravate the injuries of the victim. He was brought to the city and placed in l hospital, and last n’ght it was reported that he was somewhat improved. He has bee: i identified as fVni. Leonard, a cigarnaker living in tnis City. How he receives his original injuries has not been learned.

A WONDERFUL SPECTACLE. A Comet Which “Could a Tale Unfold** and Did. \yA8HlXGTON, July 17.—At 10:30 o'clock Saturday night the comet which is now the object of so much search and speculation suddenly developed an enormous tail which to the unpracticed eye was taken to be a display of aurora borealis. At that hour Prof. Frisby, of the Naval observatory, was studying the comet through the nineinch glass. He noticed a long streak of greenish white light shoot out from the comet and extend itself almost to the zenith. At first, the nucleus of the comet being at that moment hidden by a fleecy cloud, it was thought that the aurora borealis had sent out an advance notice of a brilliant engagement, but as there was no flickering, and as the light came steadily from where the comet had been last seen, the observer concluded that he was witnessing a comet in process of development. The tail of the comet was 30 degrees ,.in length, about sixty times as long as the moos is wide, and the tail extended from 10 degrees above the horizon al most to the zenith- It was plainly visible to the naked eye, and was watched for some time by the corps of observers at the institution. Prof. Frisby said: “There is no way to explain the sudden freak of the comet. They are erratic bodies at best, and the only thing we can say is that the zone had reached a stage where it was ready to throw out the long streak %f luminous gas which we call a tail. Jt was not a bush' tail, but was a long ribbon of light about three times as wide as the moon.” brutal Treatment of, Jew. Who Refuel to Leaves Their Homes. St. Peters h$rg.
