churches, and intlmated that the promul-

tion taken by the recent Plenary Council

Archbishop Ryan was called to the dis
patch, with the request that he would give
some information of the action OF the

the best OF his knowledge no discussion had
been had on the subject. at Is long
established rule of the Church, he said,
that singers and musicians who are mem

DANGEROUS GAME.
A large Number of rwo-Dollar Note
Being Converted into Tens and Put Into
Circulation.

large Number of Two-Dollar Note
Being Converted into Tens and Put Into
Circulation.
CINCINNATI, Dec. PA new wrinkle has
been resorted to by the counterfeiter and
shower of the queer which is calculated to
deceive almost any one. During the last
three or four years the business Of counter
feiting bank notes and greenbacks has be
come very dangerous and almost impossi-
BILE, on account of the paper Of which the
currency is manufactured. The new scheme
is to change two-dollar bill into tens. and
it is so cleyerly done that many small shop
keepers have been victimized. The dodge
has been worked successfully in
the Third and Bremen street police
districts. Several days ago Lioutehant
Heheman discovered one of the bogus ten
dollar notes. The bill had been altered in
an ingenious manner, and at FIRST sight ap-
peared to be genuine. The figure 10 had
been cut from the imitation $40 advertise
monts and carefully pasted over the Q on
the greenbacks. To still further deceive
the unwary the two dollars printed in the
center of the bill was mutilated and blurred
beyond recognition. A woman named
Stricker, who keeps cigar store at
603 Vine street, took one II
the changed notes Yesterday and
carried 1t 30 Bremen street Station, where
the police took it as q basis upon which to
act In searching for the counterfeiters. 1t
has been ascertained that large number
OF these bogus bills are in circulation, but
the police can't locats tho men who are do
ing the work. The United States Secre-
Service officers will take hold of the matter
at once. 1t is thought that the criminals
are ocated somewhere in this city. The
| cleverness which they have shown in doing
the work indicate that they are old-timers
who know all about counterfeiting.

Note, From tho Capital.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY FAIRcHILD few
days ago gave hearing torepresentatives
of domestic iron interests in regard to the
manner of determining the dutiable value
of imported iron ore. Under the tariff act
a duty of seventy-five cents per ton Is i'm
posed on iron ore. The Treasury Depart
ment recently ruled that duty shsu be
assessed on the ore after it shall have been
subjected to temperature Of 2l2 deg,
Fahrenheit. Domestic mine-owueFs have
protested against this ruling - unjust to
domestic interests. Arguments in support
Of their claim were made at the hearing
recently by Messrs Weed and Witherbse'
Of New York; Ely and Hanna, OF Cleve-
land; Curry, of Michigan; Imboden and
Bowling, Of Virginia; swank' OF rniio-
delpbia. and Weeks, Of Pittsburgh, and
Others. Ex.solicitor General Phillips rep

PITTsDuRcH, Pa, Dec. 12.-J C. Hill, a
prominentresident of Edgewood, wealthy
suburb of this city, mistook his daughter
for burglar and shot her through the
neck, inhicting dangerous and, it is
feared, fatal wound. Mr.. Hill made collec-
tions of about 5000, which he took to his
home TO keep over night. His daughter
who had bad toothache, arose early thi,
morning and went down to the library Is
the fire to warm herself. Her father, hear
ing the noise, thought burglars were in the
house, and taking his revolver, followed
her down stairs. When he reached the
door OF the library, he fired, the ball
striking his daughter in the back OF the
neck, and passing to the front. The young
lady is in crit cal condition, and her
father is almost crazed with grief
