LUREO TO HIS DOOM.

Henry Kraus. a Young New York Butcher
with Money to Invest, Lured by a Bogus
Business Agent Into the Woods in New
Jersey, Shot and Left for Dead and
Robbed of $500.
New YORK, April 23.-Henry Kraus,
a New York butcher, was found lying
in the woods near Delaware, a country
town about a mile from Rutherford, \.
j., grievously wounded. A doctor was
called, who pronounced the mans
wounds fatal. Kraus had three bullet
wounds in the back. He says he was
enticed from New York by two men
who promised to give him employment.
They took him to New Jersey, and when
they reached the woods one of the men
shot him ard robbed him of his watch
and other valuables. The police are
working on the case.
Henry kraus came from his home in
Germany in 1Sss to seek his fortune,
although his parents were well-to-do
people. He secured a position in the
employ of Lieber Bros. butchers, at
No. PA East Eighty-siXth street, this
city. He remained with them nearly
two years, and then started a butcher
shop of his own at No. IA Eliz-
abeth street. y short time ago
he sold out to good advantage
Last week he went to the employ
ment bureau at Castle Garden and
said that he wanted position on some
country milk farm, with the prospect
of buying an interest in it if he could
find a place that suited him A man
appeared at the bureau claiming to
have a milk farm in New Jersey, and
took X
boarded the $50 train on the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railroad, the
stranger buying tickets for Lyndhurst.
At that station they both alighted. The
stranger then led the way about a mile
through the woods, and after telling
kraus to walk ahead. shot him
in the back of the neck with 3s-caliber
revolver. Kraus fell, and when the
stranger started to rob him Kraus
made fight, and was about to stab his
assailant with a knife, when the man
fired twice more, hitting Kraus in the
wrist and taking off his thumb. Kraus
was found by two worllmen lying in a
pool of blood. Coroner Young of
Rutherford took his ante-mortem state
ment, and then sent him to the city hos
pital at Paterson. Kraus does not know
the name of the stranger, and never saw
him before.
kraus had $500 IN his coat pocket.
Marshal Collins traced the man, who
had taken one of Kraus' bundles. to
PaSSaic bridge, where he had bought
ticket for Rutherford. The operator
said he was breathless and excited. All
trace of him is lost there. The Pater-
son police and Inspector Byrnes have
been notified. The intention of the
stranger was undoubtedly murder as
well as robbery.

SECRETARY FOSTERS PLAN

To Relieve the Drain Upon the Treasury
and Get Some of the Subsidiary Coin in
Circulation Thirty-Six Million Half
Dollars to be Gradually Added to the
Circulating Medium.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Secretary
Foster has decided upon a line of policy
to increase the available assets of the
treasury and at the same time place the
subsidiary silver now in the treasury in
circulation. The plan is to exchange
with the national bank depositaries
silver half dollars for currency
There are now 200 national bank
depositaries holding S24.O0O,OOO in
currency. In the treasury there
is $4,000, 900 in silver half
dollars. This fractional silver is
unavailable for current business. The
net surplus is less thar S12. 900. 900, and
the current receipts are not more than
keeping pace with the daily expenses.
Within month the treasury depart
mcnt will be called upon to make the
quarterly payment on account of PEN
siOns-about $50, 900, 000-with only
about Sl2, 000, 900 to meet it. The cur
rency held by the national bank depos-
itarieS, if transferred to the treasury,
would make the available surplus $780,
900. 900 instead of So, 900. 900. 1t is not
Secretary Fosters intention. however,
to withdraw at one time from the banks
all the currency now in them and re-
place it with silver half dollars, but to
do it gradually, as the needs of
the treasury department may de-
mand In connection with this
plan Secretary Foster is think
ing of permitting national bank
depositaries to have S1.15 for 81
in per cent. bonds instead of 81, as
at present, provided they take the diff
ference in silver half dollars. This will
place at once $1,000, 900 subsidiary sill
yer in circulation. Treasury officials
are now preparing circulars to carry
out in all its details the general propo-
Sition as above outlined.

A Young artist of some ability, wh'
possesses through the business quail

| wealth than he can ever hope to acquire
by means of his profession, occupies ;
handsome suite of bachelor apartment:
in house not far from Broadway.
He has a peculiar taste, which he ha:
taken ample pains to crafty. for hang

every horrible object a distorted
Japanese conception is capable of in
venting. A sea-serpent of alarming
proportions is coiled around column al
one end of the studio, while horned
toads, small snakes. fishes, turtles, a
queerlooking object with the body OF
an animal about the size of a small dog
and the head of an alligator, and
numerous other nightmares are scat

places.
The young artist has an acquaintance.
a broker. who, while an all-around good
fellow, drinks to excess. He was very
intimate with the artist, but had never
up to a few days ago visited the latter
in his studio. He made the visit while
recovering from an extended spree, and
he has hardly recovered from the effects
of the visit
The artist was engaged on land
scape when the door was opened and
the broker entered, somewhat under
the influence of liquor. He took seat,
and after telling his host to go ahead
L
first time looked around the room. His
glance lit on the candelabra, where a
huge yellow and brown snake was about
to swallow a small green and red one
The broker started and turned pale.
He looked at the mantelpiece. There
an understood dragon gaZed in awful
anger at an exaggerated crab. The
broker shifted in his seat and began to
perspire. He trembled and dropped his
cigar, and in STOPPING to recover the
weed he caught sight of a purple and
Van Dyck brown boa constructor coiled
around an unused easel in a corner.
That settled it. The broker leaped
up, and in doing SO attracted the atten-
ton of the artist, who had been paint
ing in silence
Observation-Disclosures you see any
thing on the easel - he TREMENDOUSLY
inquired of the artist. at the same time
pointing at the boa constructor
''Yes'' replied the artist; "a picture. "
The broker shook worse than ever.
Nothing else?'
There is nothing else to see," an
swered the artist. who had perceived
the cause of the brokers' fright and in "a
spirit of fun decided to prolong his
misery, except the wooden frame.
You look sick. Anything the matter ?"
The broker failed to giveoany cohe
rent answer. He uttered an inarticu-
late yell, grabbed his hat and rushed
out of the room and down the stairs,
two steps at time. The artist fol-
lowed, but his cries only tended to in
crease the brokers' speed. He learned
after that the broker did not slacl1en his
pace until he entered the office of
physician.
The two men met later in a cafe and
peace was patched up, but the broker
and artist are not quite SO friendly now
as they were-N. Y. World.

Revenge After Death,

The wife Of wealthy but careful
American gentleman objected to ask for
the housekeeping money as it was re-
quired, in small sums, on the ground
that it was waste Of time and deroga-
tory to her. She demanded a banking
account, and finally, by her persistence,
obtained one. But her husband had his
revenge At his death he left her all he
possessed on this condition:
The amount, over million dollars, was
to be handed to her, personally, at his
lawyers Office, at the rate of 800 an hour
during twelve hours of each day. Thus
was she, in the event Of failure to set
the condition aside, condemned to spend
over 10000 hours at or near the abode of
the man of law, or nearly two years and
quarter, reckoning twelve hours to the
day.-London Tit-Bits,

sAGE's LUCK COINS.

ST. Louis Republic.
Russell Sage, the millionaire railway
magnate, has sixty -four coins, ranging
from pennies, which form the majority
of the collection, to silver dollars, of
which there are four, have heard, that
could not be bought for a thousand
times their face value, much as the good
man likes money. The collection repre-
seDts Mr.. Sage's finds on the streets out
side of the Wall street district. He pick
ed the sixty-four coins up at different
periods extending over thirty years, and
holds on to them like grim death to a
negro. As he found them he placed a
mark on them, and put them into lit
tie buckskin bag which he always car
ries with him.
He regards them as luck coins, al
though if taxed with being supersti-
tious would probably deny the charge.
The bag containing the coins is never
away from him, sleeping or waking, and
if some enterprising highwayman wants
to make haul he can do so by holding
up the thrifty Mr.. Sage, and, hold them
for princely ransom. The first coin
Mr. Sage found was penny-one of
the old sort-and he, of course, values
that more that any of the others. Next
to the Iowa Central he values those
coins.
