An Especially Dangerous One Now
In Circulation.
"Have you seen the new counterfeit
two dollar silver certificates now In
circulatIon?" asked bank clerk of
the LIGHT man yesterday.
He admitted he had not, and asked
for information.
81 think there ara great many of
them," said he,"fully one million.
We are especially careful in examin-
ing them, as they are hard to detect.
Everyone caught is Immediately de-
stroyed. We don't lose them, but the
fepositors do This counterfeit will
pass every time as q good note to any
one anaccus toned to handling money.
Experts have two ways by which it
can be detected. One Is by the seal
placed on the face of the bill TO the
right of the center. On good bill
the seal Is particular shade of choc-
olate red, while the counterfeit seal is
brick red. When the two are placed
side by side the difference Is readily
discerned, and wonder Is expressed
that the counterfelters did not make
their ink nearer the color of that used
ment, however, has u secret process of
mixing its colOrs, and the combina-
ton Is impossible OF close imitation.
1.-THE other sign of gen niness Ia two
single silk threads which pass
through each bill from end to end.
The process by which these threads
are run throuk b the paper Is also q
government secret, and the counter
feiters can do no better than to Imi-
tate il in a weak manner by drawing
faint ink lines across the bills before
they are printed.
"rhe present dangerous counterfeit
was first discovered on Septenbe Der 10,
1890, but all endeavOrs to trace IL to
it's maker have failed. There are I'M
dou ID eddy thousands of them in cir
culation in the city, and hundreds Of
them pass from hand as genuine cur
rency, and are only detected when
presented at the bank. Is
"There Is also counterfeit silver
dollar that is getting q great many
ignorant people into difficulty 1t is
a first-class article for its kind. and Is
bought from the makers by middle
men, who pass 1t off on foreigners and
others not accustomed to handling
much American coin. Four men
were arrested In New York q day OF
two ago suspected of acting as middle

Cisco, EAsTLAND COUNTY, TEX, Oct. 81.
There arrived in Cisco by the Texas
Central train last night an old gentleman
named Head, accompanied by his grand
daughter, Miss Allie Head, charming
young lady Of sweet sixteen or Whereabouts.
On the same train, unknown to the old man.
was young man named Houk, the very
person the grandfather was trying to sepa-
rate Miss Allie from by carrying
her West. The young man kept himself hid
until he had managed to get note to his
sweetheart and receive an answer that she
was ready to elope with him. After
Grandpa Head had retired for the light to
refresh himself to resume the journey in
the morning, a buggy with a fast team
pulled up at the hotel and the lovers en-
tered it and drove rapidly toward Eastland.
The couple returned during the night
and set up until the O'Clock train of the
Texas and Pacific arrived, when they went
east. When Grandpa Head appeared this
morning great was his surprise at reading
the following note:
DEAR GRANpPA-Bige and went to East
land city and were married. We will take
the train for Greenville this morning. You
can go on out West or go back just as you
please. Yours truly, ALLIE HoUK.
