Though deformed he had 8 wonderful amount of energy and en- duranee and was gifted with an unusual amount of native shrewdness. Though un- able to write he conducted his business in a DuslAess lke manner HIS nrsG enterprise was that of blaeking boots, when he was afterward given the position of message car rier. About six years ago he started out as newsman and has done unusually well, hav- ing no competition whatever, no one caring to hurt "Little Jos" business, as was many times expressed. For the past year he has been in very poor health and some of the time hardly able to be about. He had accumulated quite competency.

NEW COWNTERFEIT.

An Accurate Imitation of Five Dollar
 Certificates Being Extensively Circu-
 lated.
 Information was yesterday received by the New Haven banks from the secret service di- vision of the Treasury department calling attention to a new counterfeit $5 silver cer- tifcate which has been put in circulation. It is new and dangerous counterfeit and is being extensively circulated. AS it is quite an accurate imitation of the genuine article it is exceedingly difficult of detection and meets with easy passage. The treasury authorities have sent out the following description of the counterfeit: It is counterfeit of the 30 sil- yer certificates of the issue authorized by the act of August 4, 1886, known as the depart ment series 1886, W. s. Rosecrans, Registrar of the Treasury; James W. Hyatt, Treasurer of the United States; check letter Az. .0S2. The general appearance of the note is excel lent, the color of the treasury number and seal being very good. The notch of the key merely perpendicular line, while in the genuine certificate it is in the shape of T. In the counterfeit the bust of General Grant in an oval frame bears rather scratched and soiled appearance and white patches appear on the lower lip near the left corner of the mouth, but otherwise the engraving and printing are very fair. The paper of the counterfeit, however, is lighter than that of the genuine note and has no parallel silk threads running through it. in length the counterfeit is shorter than the genuine.

Meadow Street Mission Rooms.
 Ane following communication is from one
 of the committee of volunteer workers who
 are assisting at the Sabbath evening services
 at the Meadow street mission rooms: ''The
 meetings at the City Mission rooms on Mea-
 dow street have been increasing in interest for the last two weeks. There has been a
 doubt in the minds of some Christian people that much good could be done in these meet
 ings. But if they would attend these meet
 ings, especially on Sunday evenings, and take
 hold actively their minds would be dissbused
 of such doubts Before each Sunday even
 ing meeting three or four young men have gone out on the street urging other young men to go down to the meeting with them. Their effort has met with success and in this way persons are led there who would not naturally go. When they get to the rooms | there is generally 8 praise service going on l till the regular meeting begins. At the close | there is an after meeting, at which those are ! invited to stop who would like to be spoken l to personally. It is at this time that we need Christian workers. We find that we ! can get hold of the unconverted better in this l way than entirely from the desk. We dc l not write thus because we are in need oi \ helpers but that we may keep the mission before the people and to show that we car | use any who are not at present engaged II special Christian work.
