Blemishes on the Standard Dollar.

From the New York Tribune.
Morgan, the English engraver of the
die for the standard or "buzzard" dol
lar, animated perhaps by an ambition
similar to that of the youth who fired
the Ephesian dome, smuggIed into his
| work In two places the initial letter Of
his surname. Although microscopic
in size these EMS" are plainly discern
ibie on the coin even to the naked eye
after a careful search. An eagle-eyed
Wall Street man recently discovered
one of the letters and started among
his acquaintance the following puzzle:
''Find three letters Ms on the standard
dollar" Two are readily found-one
In the word ''unum" and the other in
"America," but the third is not so
easily found. An interview with Chief
Drummond of the United States Secret
Service showed that there are four Ms
instead of three, and the fourth, hith-
erto unnoticed, even by Wall Street
men, was pointed out to the reporter.
Mr., Drummond laughed when his at
tentiOn was called to the matter and
said: '"The presence of these extra let
ters on the standard dollar was first
brought to my notice by one of my
clerks. They were of course cut in the
die by Morgan" The chief of the Sc
cret service acknowledged that they
had not escaped the attention of the
counterfeiter, who had placed them on
the false coins.
Similar instances of the mutilation
of dies are recalled in the case of En-
glish and French engravers' work.
Wyon, the artist to the English mint,
many years ago placed on the plate of
a postage-stamp a "W" in so minute
a character that for years the stamp
circulated without doubt of it's per-
lection. The eventual discovery of the
blemish created a sensation in En-
gland; the Objectionable addition to
the work was promptly erased, and a
stringent law passed against the com
mission of a like offense. In the reign
of Napoleon III. an engraver placed
the initial letter of his surname on the
plate for a stamp. This also was of
such microscopic dimensions that it
escaped detection for long time. The
discovery Of the fact led to the same
result as in the English case.

BosToN, Mass, April 29.-Not since
the great sacrlfcial tragedy at Poca-
nasSeC' IN 1912, has fanaticism reached
Such a. height IN New England as is in
dlcated by a story which comes from
backWoods region near the center
OF Maine. A dispatch from Corinna.
Me-, says that forty or fifty people in
that town expect to go to heaven to-
day. During the last two or three
months there has been a revival of the
Mlllerlte excitement in Corinna.
Newport, Orrington, and other
towns. A prophet named John
NIckerson has been laboring there
and has made many converts
to his eccentric theories. Nickerson
and his disciples make the vision re-
lated In the seventh chapter of Daniel
the basis Of their belief. They declare
that all the things which Daniel saw
IN his dream have come to pass except
that described in the thirteenth verse
the coming of the Son of Man"
lie, they solemnly aver is due to-day,
and they are making preparations &C
cordlngly. AS for the four great beasts
winch came up from the seattle lion
with eagles wings, the bear with three
rios IN his teeth, the four-headed and
tour-Wlnged leopard, the fourth
more terrible beast with iron
teeth and ten horns with ewes
ID them-aIl these preliminaries in the
vision OF Daniel, they say, have been
strictly fulfilled, and are clear to the
eyes OF the faithful who look over the
worlds history. One of these brethren
recently said that Napoleon was nm
| doubtedly one of the beasts, but he
was not clear as to which one. A re-
porter asked him if he didn't think
O'Donovan Rosa was the beast with
IRON teeth and the ten horns. He

the congregation have been busy MAX

One and the same kind of a robe will
be put on by all the men, women and
children to-day. It is a flowing gar
ment OF bleached cotton cloth, which
looks something like a priests sur
pllce, something like butchers frock,
but most like anight gown. There are
no buttons on it but it is gathered in
at the neck with a tape. The only
! decoration IS a narrow white sash.

waist. The believers did not sleep last
night, but passed the time in contem-
piatlon at home. This morning at 4
O'Clock they assembled at their taber-
nacle, put on their white robes and are
now waiting for the end.
