was talking with a treasury official On
the subject Of forgery. Did II ever occur
TO you said the official. that torger has
half his work done when he can get hold of
the Identical pen with which the owner OF the
signature habitually writesi great many
men bank presidents and the like, use the
same pen for their names only for a year or
two without change, A pen that has been
used by man in writing his name hundreds
Of times, and never used for anything else
will almost wrte the nan Of itself. 1t gets
imbued with the spirit Of the signature. In
the hands Of fairly good forger it will pre-
servo tho characteristics OF the original. The
reason for tn> Is that the point Of the pei
has been ground down ina peculiar way from
heins ed always by the same hand and for
the "a IL combination Of letters. 1t would

Love has its troubles among all clans, and
even the impossible Monaghan finds that in
course does not run smoothly The anti
Chinese law is keeping fond hearts In China
away from fond hearts in New York, and
promises to make the Chinese colony Q per-
manent one and to provide it with American
wives This is the way Of it: Five years ago
a boy Of IA was betrothed to girl OF Is, and
then the little pig tailed lad set sail for San
Francisco with his father to make his fortune
and return for his bride. In vain the Ian
gushing Lo Fee has written to him TO return.
China he cannot come back here, and his
doodle" Is yet too small to keep wife in
style
Finally the bride got angry and wrote to
her uncle to make it hot for All Chung which
he proceeded to do verbally. But the latter
young man is not easily scared, and coolly
told the uncle that his betrothed had better
suit herself with husband at home, as on the
whole he thought American girls prettier
than Mongolians, and intended to marry and
settle down in the United States
The fact is that Cinnamon who have visited
their old home and returned have brought
such terrible accounts Of the dullness Of
poverty stricken life in China that the wide
awake Celestials colonized here have mainly
concluded that Tennyson was right about his
Cycle Of Cathay," and it will suffice to send
their bones home Exchange.

a BOGUs DEATH.


Insurance Company.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.-The coroner
yesterday inveatigate an alleged death and
discovered before he was through that
there had been no death at all, but that
some OF the witnesses before him had con-
oocted a scheme to defraud an insurance
order. A notice was published on No.
vember 22i OF the death of Miss Annie
Mcintosh, aged % years, at the home OF
Mrs. Ella Benin, No. 1922 Uber street.
As there was no funeral from the house
the coroner began an investigation, sus
pecting crime, possibly murder.
DR.. f. M. Murray hSd given csrtia-
cate Of death from peritonitis. On the
witness stand yesterday he testified that
Annie Mcintosh had formerly been his
servant, that he was called to attend her
at the house OF Mrs. Bebm, prescribed
for and visited her several times, aud that
having been informed of her death soon
after the last visit lie had given the usual
certificate. The testimony of other Wit
nesses contradioted this story completely.
Mrs. Benin made confession. She said
that Miss Mcintosh had never been in
her house, but that she had allowed DR..
Murray to advertise the death as having
| occurred there on his promise to pay her
well for that service.
DR.. Murray tiually made confession OF
the whole business to the coroner. he
admitted that Miss Mcintosh was not
dead. Her life was insured for hio benefit
IN the Order of Fraternel Guardians for
S625, and as he was the physician for the
lodge he was to put through a bogus
claim for the money.
The coroner having no jurisdiction in
this matter dropped the cnse, but DIR.
Murray may hear from the Fraternal
Guardians or the district attorney later
on. He came from Ohio 20 this state
about three years ago, but has been in
this city only few months.

ported into the Dominion.
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, D5e. 1.-The cifi.
cial returns for the past nine months
show that Canadian trade with the United
States continues to increase, despite the
tariff restrictions. Exports from the
Dominion into the United states also
SHOW corresponding gain over the
same period of last year. The state
nlent of the value of some of the
more highiy.tsxed articles imported
into Canada during the nine months
OF the present fiscal year includes the
following: Agricultural, implements,
$l07,4S2: Indian corr, ~ 967, 1856;
wheat, 81 ,5G3, 1872; four, S3,2l5 ,3il; car
riages and cars, SiS2 $40; cotton cloths,
SOL sos; steam engines and machinery,
S6i4, 1856; leather, 1872 Cos; pork, fresh
aud piokled, 81 ,l207o9; oleomargsrine,
sos, 596; butter, 1903, 7og.
The duty Of q cents per bushel upon
corn is serious tas upon farmers and
Iaillers who require ,hnt article for stock
feeding or grinding purposes, but it is
not apparently checking importation.
The exports of corn from the United
States to Canada in the frst three omar
tiers of this year reacned 1885, $40
bushels, against 1 ,207, O52 bushels in tie
previous year.
The large increaass in the importations
OF -four and wheat account in measure
for the depressed condition of the Cana.
dim milling industry. The Ontario
miilers were promised monopoly OF the
Canadian market, but the wheat aud
| -four duties have been arranged in such d
way that they find themselves ct disad.
