COUNTERFEIT $50 BILLS.
Cheap German Labor Competing Will
American COMMENTATORS.

Cheap German Labor Competing with
American COunterfeiters.
-Four years ago, says the New York
Times of July 10, the National Broadway
Bank, at Park Place, was very much
annoyed by several counterfeits of their
$50 bills, which were so good that they
were received by several banks before
the fraud was discovered. A thorough
search revealed the fact that the bills
were manufactured in Germany, but the
counterfelters were not discovered.
though their traffic in the bills was
discontinued. No more was heard of
the counterfeiters until july <.
when the managers of the steamer ST.
Johns, of the Southern Railroad of New
Jersey, which runs to Long Branch. made
deposit in one of the downtown banks
OF two 500 bills on the National Broadway
Bank, which had been passed upon the
boat. The Teller Of the Broadway Bank
at once discovered that these bills were
counterfeit, and that they were struck
from the same dies from which the Ger
man counterfeits were printed four years
ago. The Treasurer of the st. Johns was
unable to furnish a description of the
men who passed the bills.
Yesterday morning a merchant made a
deposit of two of the same counterfeit $50
bills at the First National Bank. Teller
j. q. Shepherd discovered the frauds at
once, and, after stamping them counter
felt" he returned them to the depositor
who presented them. They were also
from the German dies manufactured four
years ago. The teller of the Broadway
National Bank says that they are very
good counterfeits, although an expert
enced eye can readily detect the inferior

THE PARROT IN PoLIrICs.

Taught to Shout the Names of Candt-
dates-His Place in Political Clubs.
''The parrot is the coming bird" said
a bird fancier to a reporter of
the Philadelphia Times, ''and feel GER
tain that in place of the eagle the parrot
will be adopted as our national emblem.
What can the eagle do, any how? Why
screech, and that's nothing. An intelli-
gent bird that oan represent a progressive
people with credit to itself and them is
something which has been long felt
want.
"Why the parrot?D
1.-THE parrot is a clever bird and has
more sense than great many people that

said the bird fancier. ga good, intelli-
gent parrot learns to speak in less than
no time, though | guarantee that anv of
those Cuban birds will master any Ian
guage, not barring Russian, inside of
ninety days. notwithstanding parrots
are scarce and high. To hear parrot
wrestle with healthy, vigorous, muscu-
lar Russian name is treat that should
not be missed In ones life. French
speaking parrots are mo good.' They
have to be fed on frogs and claret, and
that's expensive. Pretzels and beer are
good enough for the German-trafned
birds, and they are the most robust and
hearty. just about this time thoroughly
Americanized birds have a very good
sale, You see, they take naturally to
politics."
Aud, as if in verification of this prepos-
ferrous statement, prominent member of
the Americus Club entered the store at
this juncture, when three gaily-colored
parrots in the rear of the room yelled:
cleveland and victory!"
The cOuntenance of the disciple of JEFF
ferson was illumined with pleasure and.
pointing to one Of the birds who had
prediction for Cleveland, sententiously
said:
''rhat's meW And the speaker placed
new tive-dollar note in the fancier's
hand and departed. That bird is now
hanging in an uptown Democratic club
room.
'If things keep on in this style long
enough" resumed the bird fancier, ''every
politician who has any love for his party
Will want parrot to shout his warcrv.
Parrots. at political meetings would be a
novel and attractive feature. After the
speakers were done shouting themselves
hoarse chorus of parrot political songs
would be much more pleasant than a
braying brass band"
