The house was built Of Indiana field stone,
with tile roof and copper facings, and was
considered secure from fire. It had many
broad porches paved with tile and supported
by marble pillars The main hall was the
embodiment of all that wealth and taste
could procure, and beyond it was the grand
staircase, with its three flights Of broad, low
steps, and landings covered with rugs The
drawing room was done in the colonial STYLE

The mantel wasof Mexican onyx. the chande

Mrs Studebaker. but perished with the other

. beautiful collection of priceless Dresden and
Sevres. This unreplaceable collection was de-
stroyed by the fire, as was also the art gallery
on the third floor. This gallery was filed with
rare works of art, which it will be difficult to
replace A very interesting place was the so
called ''Den" of Mr.. Studebaker, where the
fire originated. Itwas situated back of the
main hall, the windows commanding view
Of the stables. 1t contained many comforta-
ble leather chairs, lounges and desks. Over
the mantel was stained glass window Of
very unique design. 1t showed a blacksmith
shop, embowered in the trees. Upon the front
was the inscription, "John Studebaker,
Blacksmith" In the foreground were the
figures Of a man and horse.

A. oAkEY HALLS CAREER.

The Honorable A. Oakley Hall, who is the
plaintiff in libel suit against Mr.. James
Bryce, author Of the "American Common
wealth" has been lawyer, local politician,
mayor, actor, editor, and, lawyer again, this
time in London; and now he asks British
jury to vindicate him with a verdict for g1O,-
600 damages because Mr.. Bryce had ..stigma-
tized him as member Of the Tweed ring"
Oakley Hall is Of good old Knickerbocker
stock, and was born in New York in 1882.
but has not favored the public with the par
ticulars Of his early life. He first figured a

eaecoeQ 0lsGrlcG aLCOrney. His career In this
office made him the famous Oakley Hall. He
made record for good works that stood him
In good stead through all his subsequent
troubles, and is still pointed to with pride by
his friends and supporters. His worst en-
emies admit that his action as district attor-
ney was of great benefit to the city and his
record without a'flaw. He was next elected
mayor of New York, and in that capacity he
has ever since been studied.
It is, perhaps, too soon to give an impartial
judgment on the affairs of 1S69-'71, or Of
national affairs for the ten years following
the war. It was, all men admit, the era Of
waste and corruption. Many an honored
name was blackened forever; the reputation
OF many brave soldier and many man
high in the national councils was sunk in
irredeemable blackness. The cities grew fas.
ter than lawmakers could pass reform char
ters to suit All city governments were ad-
mittedly reckless and many corrupt; that Of
New York, as it was the biggest city, was
confessedly the worst
This could not last. In 1871 the explosion
came, and for months the papers were full
of the doings of ''Tweed, Sweeny, Hall and
Connolly" Their pictures adorned all the
illustrated papers; Mast and other caricatur-
lists made millions merry with their exagger-
ated lineaments. During the era of corrup-
tion Hall was mayor, Sweeny city chamber
lain or treasurer, Connolly city comptroller
and Tweed at the head of the street depart
ment, besides being supreme in the matter of
public works, and, more than all, in the DO
lltical organization which elected all the city
government. In due time the ssring" got
control of the judiciary, and in 1869 they se-
cured of the state legislature the celebrated
"new charter" which practically gave them
control of the city. Their doings gave occa-
sion for the SO called explosion of 1871" but
need not be recounted here.
Suffice it to state that clerk revealed
the fact that general fund" and 'scity liza.
bilities" were terms which covered enormous
stealings, estimated at from 100000 to
$15, 900 600. A citizens committee of seven.

vestigated and prosecuted. Connolly fed
and died in exile Sweeny, after long alb
sence, returned, and lives in obscurity. Tweed
died in Jail Hall was tried and acquitted.
He next tried his hand as lecturer and
;; actor; then for few years as editorial
writer on The World and afterward on
; Truth He then disappeared so completely
from New York life that most people are
surprised to learn that he is a successful law
yer in London, where he has taken the oath
Of allegiance to the British government. He
now brings suit against Mr.. Bryce for libel,
and puts his damages at $4,000, because the
latter has, in chapter IS of 'sThe American
Commonwealth" given a very uncompli-
mentary history Of ..Tweed. Sweeny, Hall
and Connolly" Such is the versatility Of
one specimen of New York Americanism.

HISTORY OF A DANGEROUS couN-
TERFElT AND ITS MAKERS.

Jim Guyon. Ben Boyd, John Bowdre and
Other Noted Crooks-The Way in which
Chief He'll. Of the Secret Service. Broke
Up tho Gang-The Escape Of Guyon.
The making of money by the government
has been described thousand times-how
the paper is rolled from pulp at Dalton,
Mass, and mysterious silk thread woven
into 1t, which combination is about the only
thing a counterfeiter can't initiate; how each
plate is isengraved in four pieces, no one man
making the whole plate, in fear that he will
repeat the operation; how the four pieces are
placed together, and an impression taken
from the whole on soft roller; how an i'm.
preston is made from this on piece Of soft
steel, which is afterward hardened; how
each sheet of paper is counted, and how the
plate printers ink and wipe of the plates by
hand, with all the safeguards thrown about
the process to prevent an operator in any
way securing bill, or the means Of making
one.
The great obstacle in the way of continu-
GUS, brazen and successful counterfeiting is
the secret service of the treasury department.
1t is composed of chief, few clerks and Q
minimum of about fifty detectives, which is
sometimes considerably increased when work
piles up on them, as it did when, within q
few weeks, no less than fifteen counterfeiters
were caught, all for passing ten dollar

a plate whose history probably has no par
