One OF the Most Successful Crooks In tbs
History of Crime.

History Of Crime.
The cleverest thief that ever I
had any thing to do with while
connected with the secret service de-
partment of the United States treas
ury department, said Maj. Thomas
L. Lonergan, was Pete Mccartney.
He was born and raised in south
ern Illinois, and could not boast any
education. Yet he was IN every sense
a picturesque figure in criminal ali
mails. lie was the only man | ever
met who educated himself So rs to be
able To do everything connected with
counterieiting. lie could cngrave q
plate, make his own inks and paper
and print the complete note. Mozart
ney had been arrested many times prior
to my arrest of him, and had always
managed to escape.
l captured him at Venice, Ills, Oh
Bloody island. the famous old dueling
ground of that section Of the country,
which was u little north of East st.
Louis. This was in the fall of 1871. |
took Mccartney to Springfield and
turned him over to United States Mar
shal Routt, who was afterward governor
Of Colorado. Mccartney was charged
with counterfeiting United States
money and committed TO Jail in default
of $500, 900 bail. Negotiations were
entered into by the treasury depart
ment that Mccartney should turn up
certain plates for counterfeiting notes,
and that in return his bail should be re-
duced to ssj,O 0O. The agreement was
carried out ON both sides. Mccartney
gave up the plates andSS0, 900 in IA
terfeit money. lie had to 90 to De.
catur, Ills. where he had buried it, to
dig ii up.
During the time that this notorious
countcrfciter Was ont On bail he vas
arrested in ~. Louis. and was seriously
shot in the fracas that followed the at
tempt to arrest him. While in Jail on
crutches he broke out and left, taking
with him four other counterfeiters who
were confined nj the same time. A
few weeks subsequently he was again
arrested in Texas. \ big reward had
been offered for his capture. The
sheriff who arrested him telegraphed
for the United States officials to come
and take possession of him. To make
his escape impossible this sheriff and
his posse caInped out all night with
Mccartney, but he got away before
morning. lie was again arrested short.
ly after this by another Texas sheriff.
To secure him eifectually this time
this official manacled Nee artney's arms
and legs and started for Austin. When
the train reached Austin Mccartney
had made his escape. During the wal
he was arrested on some charge in In.
diana and taken to Washington heavily
ironed, hand and foot. lie escaped
from custody by throwing himself out
Of the "a window as the Pennsylvania
train was passing Horseshoe Bend.
This is the most dangerous point on the
whole road. He dislocated his shoulder,
but suffered M other injury. Finally
he was captured in Indiana, convicted
and sent to the penitentiary at Michi.
gan City. lie is an old man now, but
in his best days was one of the most
slippery fellows that I ever heard Of

'He borrowed money in the most
reckless fashion, but he always paid it
back to the last cent. He never broke
a promise. But he would cheat at cards
at every opportunity. He couldn't help
it. Every one knew that he cheated,
but no man was ever bold enough to
say SO in his face, for Castle was not
afraid of anything that walked or
crawled, and he was a dead shot every
time his big finger pressed a trigger.
He was over six feet in height. a lion in
strength and a tiger when enraged.
''He started out alone on horseback
once when he was sheriff to capture
two horse thieves. He was gone for a
week, and people began to think that
Kit had got the worst Of a hard fight,
when he rode into town n evening.
"'Where are your men, Kit?' some
one asked with a laugh, thinking they
had slipped him.
The sheriff pulled from his belt
three revolven and laid them down.

Perhaps a more villainous set OF
scoundrels was never collected than
the prisoners whom Castle always had
in the county Jail. The Jail was OF
stone and was at the rear Of the court
house. Inside the place was lined
with sheet iron and along the end ran
the heavily barred cells. One evening
the sheriff went into the Jail to see II
his prisoners were all right for the

Give no one the impression that Christianity is
narrow. Let not persons imagine Jesus opposed
to jOyfulness and recreation. And the Church
with it's normal methods ought to content the
Christian mind. We need not seek any outside
organization for reformation. We are not CON-
PEELED to devise some counter or additional in
stitutlon for charity. The principles Of Christ
are Of universal application and require every
appendage or annex which elCemOsynary expe-
rienCe can suggest or TefoTmatOTy history de-
mand. 1t is never necessary to send men away
from Christ Men need not seek inebTiety TO
drown trouble, nor immoral pastimes 20 soothe
sorrow. He who drove care from NicOdemus;
who brought hope Of better things to the wom-
an at Sychar; who gladdened Mary and Mar
tina in the burial field who wiped away the
tears of Mains widow, and thrilled with de-
light the hearts of Jairus and wife, is adequate
for all our wants
ID We must not be discouraged by the ap-
parent inadequacy of means. By tho blessing
of God the weak becomes powerful, the little
massive, David greater than Goliath. Five
barley loaves and two small fishes can meet the
demands of the thousands; the boys basket is
rs ample as Joseph's granaFies. Christians
must not say, We are the few, and tho hosts Of
Satan are SO numerous" The Church must not
say, "Our resources are 50 small, and the
calls 80 frequent and pressing" We must

A Dangerous Counterfeit.

A dangerous counterfeit on the Is
sue Of the 81 silver certificate has
been discovered by an employe in
the United States treasurer's Office at
Washington, District Columbia. This
counterfeit has small, round, pink
seal. No closer imitation of genu-
inc United States note has appeared
in years. The paper has no distributed
fibre and no parallel silk threads.
The genuine note has both. In the
counterfeit a few hairs of General
Hancock's mustache curl upward
while in the genuine the whole mus
tache is dropping. In the words:
"Register of the treasury" in the
counterfeit the 81" in register is not
dotted, neither is there period after
the word "treasury." In the genuine
the 81" is dotted and period follows
the word "treasury." So dangerous
is the character OF this counterfeit
that the utmost care should be exer-
cised in accepting all 81 silver Ger.

small pink seal and the name of G

One of the most rapidly advancing
of the electrical industries is that OF
the manufacture of incandescent
lamps. Such lamps have only been
known as a commercial reality with
in the last ten years, although very
thorough investigations and expert
ments were made for period OF fifty
years antecedent. The fact was,
that the perfection of the incades-
cent lamp, like that of the arc lamp,
had awaited the perfection of the dy-
namo electric machine. So long as
electric lights had to depend for the
current that vitalzed them upon
chemical sources, the case was we'll
nigh hopeless, for no large and prof.
table installation could be carried
out with what Mr.. Edison has hu-
morously dubbed "wet electricity
At the present time it may safely be
estimated that from 100000 to s.
100000 incadescent lamps are annu.
ally manufactured in this country
aud, it is possible that in eighteen
months the number may well-nigt
be doubled. The consumption ii
Europe falls vastly below our figures
With the cheaper lamp it is cleaI
that the life of the light is no longer
an important factor in the cost of op.

A Curious Anmsthetsc.

A curious an@sthetic used by the
Chinese has recently been made known
by DR.. u. Lambuth in his
third annual report of the Sooohow
Hospital. 1t is obtained by placing
frog in jar of -four and irritating
it by prodding it. Under these cir
cumstances it exudes liquid which
forms paste with the -four. This
paste dissolved in wates has well
marked anesthetic properties. After
the finger has been immersed in the
liquid for few minutes it can be cut
to the bone without pain being felt
