FOOLS ARE PLENTY YET.
Merchants Held as Witnesses Against
Green Goods Man.

Merchants delo as witnesses Against
Green Goods Man.
TRENTON, Sept. 24.-John Fl. Bush,
a no torious green goods man and an
alleged member Of the Palmer gang of
New York, who has had his headquar-
ters in this city for the past six months,
was arrested by Detective Pilger early
this morning while in the act Of plucking
5000 from two willing victims. Detec-
tives Pilger and Leahy have been shadow
ing and working with Bush for several
months past, and it is believed they
have sufficient evidence to send him TO
prison for long term. Bush was held
by Justice Matheson to await the action
of the United States authorities on
charges Of fraudulently using the United
States mails and with intent TO
defraud the United States government.
He may also have to answer charges
preferred by his victlmes.
The victims Of to-day are typical
Suotherners and came here from Marion
County, S, c., with 5000 to purchase
$4,000 worth Of the alleged counterfeit
money. When arraigned they gave their
names as John D. Bethea and William
3. Atkinson. They were held as wit
nesses. They are merchants, and when
they received the circular from Bush
stating that he was making 50, IS
and $40 bills from plates that had been
stolen from the Treasury Department at
Washington some time ago, and that
they could not be detected even by gov
eminent experts. they were eager to see
one of the bills. The green goods men
sent them 50 bill with instructions to
take it to their local bank. 1T is such a
good counterfeit that even the banks
will accept It," they wrote. The victims
obeyed the instructions and, Of course,
as the 81 was genuinelt was changed by
tie bank cashier without ques-
ton.
Both victims say they were wealthy
before the war and that they do not
think it wrong for them to buy counter
felt money as the government ruined
them.

SIGNING THE TAIFF BILL.

AS President Harrison squared him.
self to affix his signature to the tariff
bill Secretary Blaine and Senator AL
drich, who had been conversing on the
sofa, arose and stood against the table.
Nh. Mckinley was directly opposite the
President and the rest of the gentlemen
were grouped about the table.
"Does your hand tremble?" inquired
Secretary Blaine.
"Not a Bit" was the response of the
President;'I shall be able to put a good
signature"
Looking up to Mckinley the Presi-
dent asked, "Do you want the pen when
I have finished?"
The response of the author of the bill
could not be distinguished. In firm
hand the President then wrote: "Ap-
proved October /. 1897. Benjamin
Harrison saying as he I'd so, Il will
use plenty of ink" When he had finish
ed Private Secretary Halford was about
to dry the signature with blotting pad,
as had been done with the rest, but Mr.
Blaine stopped him with the remark,
"Let it dry" and the private secretary
laid the bill aside without blotting.
Having seen the Executive approval
given to the bill Mr.. Mckinley moved
toward the door followed by the others,
while Representative Mason addressed
the President: "Mr. President, l have
Major McKinley's permission to ask you
for the pen you have just used for one
of my little folks" With a smile the
pen-an ordinary steel Falcon in plain
cedar holder-was handed to the Chica-
20 Representative. and at 3,22 the scene
at the signature of the tariff bill ended.

ADJOURNMENT AT LAST.
End Of the First Session of the Fifty-FIrst
Congress,

WASHINGTON, October 1.-The first
session of the 51st Congress is ended and
the infamous Mckinley bill is now
law. 1t was signed to-day by the Speak
er of the House. The Vice President
and the President within a single
hour.
The closing scenes at the Capitol were
about the same as usual, the only SEN
sational feature being the dismissal Of
the Republican post master of the House
for malfeasancc in office. 1t was bit
ter pill for the Wisconsin Republicans
to see their friend Wheat turned out of
Office in disgrace for dishonesty. The
committee appointed to investigate the
charges against him was unanimous in
recommending his immediate removal,
and, the House promptly endorsed the
committees findings. it was rather
mortifying rounding up of "the great
history-making" session of which the
Republicans boast so loudly.
In spite of the Wheat episode good
feeling prevailed in both houses through
out the day, and at 6 o'clock this even
ing, when tle session ended, there were
no traces of the recent parliamentary
battle visible. Democrats and Repub-
icans mingled pleasantly and exchang-
ed the usual farewell greetings, having
apparently forgotten for the moment
the conflict over the force bill and the
contested election cases.

tice discarded by President Cleveland of
spending the last day of the session at
the Capitol with his Cabinet, and re-
mained in the Presidents room adjoin-
ing the Senate chamber until adjourn
ment.
Neither house transacted much new
business, the time being consumed in
gathering up the threads of the session
and disposing of the formal resolutions
necessary to the closing of Congress.
"Priyate" John Allen, of Mississippi,
took advantage of the crowded galleries
and lack of official business to deliver
one of his inimitable speeches, in which
he burlesqued the Republican party and
pointed out in highly humorous style
He could not resist the temptation to
call attention to some of the unbroken
pledges of the majority. In passing he
alluded to the recent attack upon Sena-
tor Quay by Congressman Kennedy, Of
Ohio, and created considerable amuse-
ment by taunting the Republicans with
failing to deny the damaging charges
made against their leader from Pennsyl-
vania. In spite of his fun anG good
humor he told some very plain truths,
which were not relished by the Repub-
icans.

A German Chemist Who VIII Make Wood Serve as

Ingenious people have long enough
been engaged In breaking the seventh
commandment by mixing a large varl-
ETY. OF mineral and vegetable com
pounds with the -four from which our
bread Is made, but hitherto mono OF
them have .ventured TO suggest the sub
stitutlon OF any such like substance for
flour entirely. A German chemist,
however. proposes to settle the ques-
ton OF falling grain crops and import
duties on corn by converting the for
ests into loaves.
The fiber OF wood consists essential
ly OF cellulose, and this. by chemical
process known TO himself he intends
TO convert into starch. The researches
OF Hellrigel, he explains, show that
certain plants transform nitrogen into
albumen. and this process OF nature.
he asserts. can be improved by science.
Theproduction OF starch from cellu-
lose, together with the enforced In.
crease OF albumen In plants, would, it
Is argued. make us indifferent TO rust
or blight in wheat and indifferent Of
foreign countries for our food supplies.
But what Is TO hippen when we have
eaten up our forests is not stated.
