Rev. Henry Ward Becchrr should

he docs commonplace things in such n
dramatic way. Plymouth Church was
crowded on Monday evening with ono
of its characteristic audiences, and Miss
Frances f. Willard, of Chicago. deiiv-

Women's Gospel temperance Union,
which was received with great enthus;-
asm. AS the prolonged applause at the

Beechcr assembled tho platform, slowly,
thoughtfully, and stood for moment

turcr with an expression of mingled
wonder and admiration. Then, turn

and meditatively, emphasizing tho
words with mods of his head: "And-

necessary to add that it was somo timo

This ailmeut consists rninly of

Some of these muscles draw the fin

so act on these muscles ns either to

In the earlier stages Of tho diseaso

Luxurious Rooms,

The latest sensation in Washington is
over the newly furnished and decorated
rooms Of Attorney General Brewster in the
department of Justice. The furniture and
decorations have all been made from dc
signs specially prepared in pursuance of
an order from Attorney General Brewster
himself, with carte blanche to make the
rooms perfect. The principal room, the
one nsed by the Attorney General to trans-
act Official business, is furnished Uith
ebony chairs and lounges covered with the
finest morocco leather, and said to be the
most elegant and costly suit Of furniture IN
Washington. Tho center. table, designed
and made TO order, Is a gem of its kind
Although measuring only six feet by tour,
1t cost $3.50. This table has for q cover an
exquisite piece Of Algerian lace work, SAID
to have cost 800. The smaller tables are
also elegantly finished aud strictly in keep
Ing with the central one. The carpet in
this room, consisting Of u turk Ish rug, COST
the Government 81, 200. TO walk upon il
makes one imagine himself to be treadlng
upon down. TO complete this, there is
also rich, tieccy rug, costing $3.50. But
the most gorgeous adornmcnts in this room
are the curtains. They arc m"dc of the
finest silk plush, rich and daZz'inI in tex
ture, lined and lntcrlncd with fine Turkish
satinc, with cardinal cords and tasscls
The brass rods, holders. and other acccs-
sorics arc equally elaborate IN pattern, and
were specially designed for tho department
of Jusllce. There are four wlndows in
the room, and rs the price paid for each
curtain was $500, the cost IS 81 200 for
curtains alone.
The Attorney Generals private Office,
his sanctum sanc'orum. is certainly remar~
kablc for splcndor and elegance. Turkish
carpet and rugs, handsome Oriental furnl-
turc, covered with French vcIours, with
silk plush trimmings, and elaborate fres-
Going ant fine pictures, make this a most
luxurious room. The Attorney Generals

! and shape. The fine lines Is the char
aoteristic Of this description OF engrav-
Ing, and in the genuine note can be
traced throughout the design, never
breaking or losing itself in another line,
or having any irregularity whatever.
The line is usually white, on black or
green ground, or sometimes red, but
may be black. green or red on white.
In tho counterfeit engraving the design
is engraved upon the plate and falls in
various ways. First, it is impossible to
produce the perfect line rs in the genu.

moro or less dull or sunken in appear
ance rs we'll as having a scratchy look.
Tho desi9nrwill also he darker or light

heavier aud sometimes lighter, as we'll
as tho spaces betweon are sometimes
wide and again near together, being
Irregular in size and sometimes broken.
Second. it is impossible for tho counter
feiter to produce two designs exactly
alike. AS the counterfeit is engraved
by hand and separately, it is impossible
to produce two exactly alike. On OK
animation of the genuine bill the designs
OF tho geometrical lathe work will show
the beautiful clenr raised impression
produced by the correct and regular
lines in tho engraving. Sometimcs the
whole, face of the note except tho Wig
nettes and dies will DO tinted. The tin
is composed Of fine carved or looped
lines running across tho whole face of
the bill.
Genuine bank notes arc always print
ed with great caro-. Tho plato is covered
with ink, which is theu carefully w,pod
| of, except what remains in tho lines Of
tho engraving. The engraving is then
taken with powerful press. Should
any irregularity nppoar OIL the note it is
Immediately tcanceled, and not issued.
Thus all genuine notes have Il clear and
beautiful impression, which is very unu-
suol for counterfeit. The ink used in
baDk-note printing gives n clear impress
sion, without any smutty appearance
Tho green ink, ana also that used for
tho numbering of United States notes,
Is with great difficulty produced by the
counterfelters. Tho ink usually used
by them for printing countoHcits hns n
heavy, dull look; whilo the numbering
has bricky appearance

appearance Of tho note, tho gcometrical

compare with standard work. The ink,

L. a. Cox, young man employed as
tunna. Alabama attended party in tho
nejghborhood Of that town recently and
danced with the young ladies until mid
night, He roma rked once OF twice to
his partners in the dance that he would
die that night after the dancing was
concluded. About one o'clock, when
tho participants in the entertainment
were getting ready to 90 home, young
Cox called their attention TO the way he
had arranged tho chairs around the room
and how he had placed one chair in tho
centre and covered it with shawl. He
requested tho ladies to be seated. One
OF the ladies took the centre scat, but
he asked her to seat herself elsewhere.
rs that particular chair WIS reserved
for himself.
After all had taken places he seated
himself in tho centre, and placing his
hand in the bosom of his coat remarked
that he would certainly die before tho
day and desired the present witnesses
to stay with him until the end WAS
reached. He suid he had boen raised
woll by his mother, who had sent him
to Sunday school and tried to make
good Christian Of him, but in spite of
her care he had strayed from the paths
of duty and could never face his mother
again. He thon drew pistol from an
inside pocket and saying, "This never
fails" placed the muzzle against his ear
and fred.
The spectators were taken 50 entirely
by surprise that they could make no
movement to prevent tho rash act, and
1t was not until his hand dropped
into his lap and the pistol fell to the
floor that they fully realized the Lorri-
bic decd which had boon committed.
When tho gontlemon rushed to the con-
tro of tho room they found tho young
man dead.
