A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
Remarkable Resemblance Of Bogus Silver
Certificate 70 the Genuine.

Remarkable Resemblance OF bogus SllVer
Certificate TO the Genuine.
WASHINGTON, March 80. - The secret
service officers declare that the 81 silver
certificate counterfeit is most dangerous
one. The vignette of Hancock is RS fine as
the original, and the lettering and lathWork
is an exact copy of the Treasury note. In
fact the only difference is too minute to be
visible TO the naked eye. In the upper left
hand and lower right-hand corner OF the
genuine note is figure 50" and on its face
IS engraved, in characters so minute that
they are not legible except under a maghi-
flying glass, the word "two." repeated three
times. In the counterfeit the word two"
is similarly engraved the same number of
times, but in two cases, the Counterfeiter
has made the letters read ''owt." The dis
cOvery of the counterfeit is not a new thing.
Attention was called to it some time ago,
but the unknown cOunterfeiters watch the
secret service bulletins closely. When the
discrepancy was discovered in note bear
ing tile check letter "a" aud the sigma
ture Of &c. n. Jordan" the cOunterfeiters
changed the check letter to "B'' aud the
name to that of Treasurer Hyatt The en-
tire circulation of the genuine note may
have to be called in.
