Forgery Made Easy.

Forgeries are encouraged by the bad
practices that have grown up in the com
mercial houses-the use of stylographic
pens and aniline inks. Many large houses,
recognizing the lack of character in a sig
nature written with a stylographic pen,
have discarded them altogether in signing
checks and papers of similar Importance,
and other firms require documents to be
signed with steel or quill pen. A stlyo-
graphic signature is easily initiated, and
when it comes to identifying the genuine
signature difficulty is met, arising from
the effect of the movement on the essential
characteristic features. Aniline inks are
still more dangerous, because they can be
copied exactly by the use of copying pads.

BosToN, Mass, May 5.-Frank j. Pill
ling, the well-known theatrical manager,
brother-in-law of John Stetson, the
owner of several museums through the
country. and a bowery theater lin New
York, has, with his wife, one of the
famous Stokes sisters, disappeared from
the city, leaving numerous unpaid bills
and lapsed mortgages enough to keep an
accountant busy for month to come
He received his start in his theatrical
career through marrying sister of Mrs.
Stetson, and did an excellent business,
but poor investments in real estate and
seaside summer resort property led to
his, heavy involvement, and when the
mortgage became due on his theater here
last week he left the city for parts un-
known, being followed Saturday by his
wife, who, with his power of attorney,
has collected all moneys and deposits
due him. Warrants are out for his ar
rest, and Mr.. Stetson is in violent

OLDEST TWINS LIVING.
Sisters EigIty-seven Years Old Who Can
Scarcely Be Told Apart.

Sisters Eighty-SeVen Years Old VINO Can
Scarcely BE Told Apart.
St. Cloud, MINI. boasts the Oldest living
pair of twins in the country. Rosina and
Crescentia sSutterlee were born in Zell
Baden, Germany, Feb. %, 1904 Crescentia
was married in 1885 to John Fritz, at their
home, and in the year lS4s, together with
her husband and only son, Andrew Fritz,
now a prosperous and highly respecte.,
citizen of St. Cloud, immigrated to Amer
lea and removed to Sandusky, O., whe:
they resided until 1857.
From there they went to Minnesota,
eating at ST. Paul, and in 1861 removed {
their present home, which is still II,

married to Edward Sweth in 1881 Fir
children were born to this couple, all
whom have since died-three in German
the other two in this country Her hus.
band died in Germany, and as a widow she
came to this country in 1868, residing WITH
her son-in4aw, Henry Koester, ever since. .
The parents of the two women both
reached the age of nearly ninety years, aud
present indications would predict longer
lifetime for the twins than that of their
parents.
The resen nblance in appearance of the
pair is great that many times intimate
friends, who have known them since their
| residence here, have been deceived in their
| identity. Rosina has often been mis-
taken for her sister. At time the latter
needed medical treatment and called in the
doctor, who was a friend of her sister,
and when she became convalescent she
asked the doctor for her bill. He answered
that on account of the many favors shown
in business relations he wouldn't charge a
cent, not knowing that she was not the
sister he referred to.
Upon one occasion John Fritz, a grand.
| son of Crescentia, who operates a photo
| graph gallery here, induced the twin sisters
to mike sitting for their photographs.
When the picture was finished and shown
| to them they simultaneously spoke up, say

| whom nine are living, have many times

! Rosina attends early mass in the Catholic
church every morning, and her sister, who
| lives one and one-haf miles from the
church, attends frequently during the sum-
| mer months, making the distance there
and back on foot. The memory of the two
/ aged ladies is good, especially that of Ro7
sina.
Crescentia about two years ago discarded
spectacles, which she had worn for many
years, and since reads the newspapers and
her prayer book without the aid of glasses.
On bright days she can see the chapel on
the SO called Calvary Mount, nearly two
miles distant from her residence. The two
stand each about five feet four inches in
height, and Crescentia weighs 235, while
Rosina only balances the scales at 233
pounds. They have both been widows for
many years, neither marrying after the
death of her first husband. Chicago Her

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Warner Miller VIII Report Progress
During His Intended Visit.

During His Intended Visit.
SAN FRANcIsco. May ga, dispatch
has been received by Captain William
L. Merry from the Office at New York of
the Nicaragua Canal Construction COM
pany saying that president Warner
Miller would come to San Francisco via
New Orleans. 1t is possible that he has
gone to Tampa to inspect pine timber,
which grows largely in Florida, and
which is used in large quantities at the
Nicaragua canal works, being especially
adapted for piles. It is supposed that
some of president Miller's party will ac-
company him to this city. The tour of
inspection proceeded without accident
after the initial disaster of the ship
wreck on the way. down to Greytown.
President Miller will have the latest
facts concerning the. progress actually
made in canal construction, and also
concerning the nature and extent of the
work to be accomplished, to communi-
cate upon his arrival in this city. Up to
date no details have been forwarded.
