! Expert as these men are they are nearly
always run to earth at last. Within the past
| five years the treasury has discovered coun-
terfets surprising in skillful execution all
before known; Vet the criminals have nearly
all been detected.
! But the green goods men are not so easily
caught. They always plead that they only
advertise green goods" not counterfeit
money, and no case has yet come up in the
New York courts in which they nave been
convicted of any infraction of the laws We
give a cut Of "Mr and Mrs. PERRIN" or

We also present sketch portraits of Deacon
Asbury III. Perkins, of Lancaster, S. c., and
William Rogers well known green goods
man. Perkins is high official at home, and
he lately went to Boston, where he deposited
$1,000 of his county's money. On his
way home he passed through New York and
learned about the green goods business,
raised $500 and went back 10 get $4,000
worth of the goods from Rogers. The latter
met Perkins at the depot, being less careful
than usual Perkins made a sorry showing
in court, as he had to admit that he bought
the goods intending to pass them off on his
more honest neighbors

The real counterfeiter usually proceeds
much more cautiously, and has profess

to circulate his goods And it is a sad
commentary on human nature some
men naturc that an expert counter

wouil make him rich in legitimate bust

often, the real counterfeiter uses circulars.

Word has recently come from Rome That
Archbishop Ryan. of Philadelphia, who Is
making his dccennulal visit to the Vatican, Is
collecting intelligence in the case of the APP
peal for canouilation of John Nepomuccn
Ncumann. u predecessor of Archbishop Ryan.
The prospect Of Bishop Neumann'S canoniza-
ton gives great pleasure 10 those of his faith
in Philadelphia, where he was known FOR his
spirituality and rigid conduct.
The process of canonizaton Is very slow
At least four miracles, performed through
the interceSsion OF the person named for
canonilatiOn. must be established before
canonization can be declared. In the case of
Bishop Ncumann, there is an objection which
is not likely to bc easily overcome An
almost invariable rule requires that fifty
wears shall have passed since the death Of the
person canouized, while in the case of Bishop
Ncumann thus far only twenty-eight years
have elapsed.

He Was an Officer in the Union Army
and Figure in Politics.
Although the prominent men of the civil
war period are fast passing away, especially
those then prominent in civil life, the recent
death of Charles William Moulton is almost
the first break in that remarkable group
which includes the Shermans, Gen. Tom
Ewing, and some otheIs-all closely related
by blood or marriage. While one Sherman
was on the bench, another in the senate, and
another commanding 1900 men in the field
one of their brothers-inlaw, Gen Ewing, was
also in active service; another, Col Mouton,
was the great manager of supplies from Gin

ocean with the sailing ship Loeb Earn, bound
from London to New York. Within twelve
minutes after the collision the Vile du liavre
sank, carrying down PIG men, women and
children. The crash came in the darkness of
the night. Many of the passengers were
killed in their berths. Only eighty-seven
persons were saved. They were picked up
by the boats of the Loeb Earn, The purser
Of the Inflated steamer afterward gave a
graphic account of the disaster, He was IA

the cries of the drowning passengers. He
turned around in the water and looked back
on the steamer Just at this moment n

In the afternoon the ship Trimountain, com
manded by Capt. w. w. Urquhart, sighted
the wreck, bore down and took OFF the sur
vivors rescued from the Vile du Havre.
They were destitute of clothing, and the cold
being severe, they suffered intensely. Capt.
Urquhart cared for them as well rs was pos
sible under the circumstances, and landed
them safe in Cardiff. The survivors Of this
terrible calamity expressed their gratitude
by presenting the captain with beautiful
silver salver, with their names engraved
upon it. To this day it occupies prominent
