Amen Rasi, handsome Christian AS,
syrian who is now lecturing in this
country, says that men in his country
live on six cents a day. Women arc
sold as slaves to work with oxen at the
plow. In Damascus, he says, there arc
10000 Christians, 10000 Mohamme-
dams, and 5000 Jews. There is in it a
building haunted by John the Baptist
ghost. The door of the room in WHICH
he is said to have been beheaded is
never opened. The Mohammedans say
that once long ago some one opened it
and the Baptist's blood flowed out over
the city to a depth of five inches. 1t
was the custom of the worshipers to
leave their shoes outside the temple.
There were sometimes 800 or 400 pairs
standing in row, and the poor people
hurried through their prayers first and
then carefully selected the finest foot
wear In the row, thereby illustrating
tho great cleverness of the Assyrians.

SURFACE PRINTING.
Osed for the First Time a the Bureau G
Engraving and Printing.

Osed for the First Time at the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing.
For the first time in the history of the
bureau of engraving and printing the
process of surface printing is being en-
p1oyed on government work In the
present instance, says the Washington
Star, it is only being applied to a GER
tain class Of revenue stamps and not to
circulating notes. The experiment was
the outgrowth of the crowded condition
of affairs at the bureau, but it has been
so successful and economical that it is
doubtful if congress would consent to q
return to the old methods.
Heretofore the stamps for tobacco, as
we'll as all stamps issued by the in
ternal revenue office, have been printed
by the same plate process as that used
for bonds, treasury and bank notes. 1t
is a slow and expensive process, but is
employed because of the additional pro-
lection against counterfeiting. 1t will
readily be seen that there is small liza
bility that tobacco stamp, with linn
| tied use and valuable to no one except
manufacturer, would offer any temp
tation to counterfeiter when the re-
| ward of counterfeiting would be small
and the expense of the undertaking
great. The purchaser of tobacco stamps
is required to get them from an author
lied agent of the government, who can
only sell TO a known dealer. Hence if a
manufacturer was being supplied by a
| counterfeiter or in any irregular way
| the revenue officer would at once de-
| tect that the stamps used did not come
| from government agent. 1t was tho
fact that there was little danger of the
lower denominations of revenue stamps
being counterfeited that led to the ex-
pertinent, which has resulted success
ffully.
AS stated, il. is the intention to apply
the topographic process to revenue
stamps of small denominations only
Treasury notes will be printed as be-
fore, and with the work of the bureau
facilitated by the new departure it will
be possible to better the character Of
| the notes turned out.

HOPE FOR HALLINGER.
BY Il Peculiar Jersey Law He May We
Escape the GallOws.

BY Peculiar Jersey Law He May Yet
Escape the GallOws.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., Aug 29.-It is more
than likely now that Edward w. Hal
linger, the negro who pleaded guilty to
the murder of Mary Paterson, and who
was sentenced by Judge Knapp to be
hanged, will escape the gallows alto
gether.
1t is due to the efforts of his lawyer,
Charles j. Peshall, that his hanging,
which was set down for a day last June,
was prevented by stay of execution.
Mr.. Peshall does not deny that Hallinger
is guilty.
He is making the fight on a peculiar
point of Jersey law which has been in
force there since April, 1885, and which
provides that If a person who has com
mitted murder mo matter how deliber-
ate or cold-blooded) confesses to the crime
in open court, he pleads guilty to the
lower degree of the crime, and by that
confession saves his life. Hallinger, Law
yer Peshall claims, will escape hanging
by means of this statute.
Hallinger Is now in the county Jail in
Jersey City awaiting the result of an ap
plication for writ of habeas corpus
made to the United States Supreme
Court. AS the day fixed for the execu
ton is now past, and as there is nothing
in the statutes providing for the re
sentencing of a criminal, Hallinger's
chances for escape are largely in the ma
jority.

BIG BANKING DEAL
A Scheme to Circulate Five
Million Dollars.
TIE MONEY TO BE SENT WEST
Kew Plan to Help the Movement of Crops
to the Seaboard

A Big Block of Government Bonds to be
Deposited for New Bank Circulation
No Large Profit I'm the TransactiOn-It
fs Said that 1t VIII Stimulate Trade In
q Wholesome Way.
NEW York, Aug. 29.-Financiers In
Wall street are much interested in
movement, which is just assuming defin-
tie shape, to take about IS, 500, 900 Of
Government bonds for the purpose of
depositing with the United States Treas
ury for new bank circulation. The larger
banks in this city are in the movement,
and the proposition Is to take this large
block of lbs, extended at 2 per cent,
under Secretary Fosters recent plan.
OF course it is not the small profit of
one-half of / per cent. on the transaction
which induces the banks to go into the
undertaking, but more particularly to
provide for the issue of a large amount of
new circulating notes to meet the enor-
nous demand for money in the West. So
much currency is needed to move the
crops during the coming fall that the
banks in this movement are endeavorfng
to supply the demand.
The interested banks will deposit the
bonds with the Treasury against new
circulation, under the provisions Of the
National Banking act, and if the PROPOSE
tion is carried out, the new bank notes
will be sent West on September 5, or per-
haps a latter later, to help the movement
of the crops to the seaboard.
From the most reliable sources it is
learned that the contamination of the
big transaction will depend largely upon
the action of the National Bank of Com
merce, American Exchange National
Bank, Fourth National, Merchants Ma
tional, Western National and one or two
others which have large capital and
therefore are able to take each a big
share of the whole.
Money is comparatively plenty and
cheap in this market, while the Western
country is congested by the enormous
crops, which are difficult to move without
ready cash in very large sums. There can
hardly be any very large profit in this
transaction by New York banks, but they
will get the credit of doing the right thing
at the right time. If the arrangement
can be carried through, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Boston and other cities may fol-
low the excellent example set them by
New York bankers, and the general move
ment cannot but add to the prosperity of
the country. Trade will be stimulated in
a wholesome way and the pulse of indus
try quickened.

we would keep only the rightly made

To compete with inferior qualities we

of murder. She was followed by Mr.. and
Mrs. Mayne, Gertie Harris and Clara
