Experts Disagree as to n 500 Bank Not.

Experts Disagree rs to 800 Bank Note.
A 800 bank bill is causing a good deal
of discussion among bank tellers and
government officials. AS to whether il
is good or bad there is difference OF
opinion
The bill turned up at the Illinois Trust
and Savings bank few days ago. Tell
er Cooper thought it good bill and
showed it to other experts. purported
to have been issued by the First National
bank Of Boston To settle the question
the bill was taken to the subtreasury.
Receiving Teller Schoeninger pronounced
1t bad and punched the word counterfeit
n 1t as Is customary
There are few counterfeit 800 bank
bills known to be in existence, and that
Of the First National of Boston Is oDs
of the best. In 800 bank bills, at the
left is a picture of Commodore Perry
and his men in a rowboat on Lake Erie
just as the commodore is about to utter
the memorable words, 1--WE have met
the enemy. and they are ours" In gen.
uine bills water is seen to BIO dripping
from both sides of an oar suspended
above the water. In the counterfeits
the water drips from only one side OF
the oar blade. The bill in question had
drip on only one side, it is claimed, al.
though the bill was so much worn that
it was difficult to determine that point.
1t was the main point on which Mr.,
Schoeninger bases his decision.
Tellers generally think the bill is good
in spite of the decision of the receiving
teller Of the subtreasury. 1t has been
sent to Washington for final decision.

present cashier of the Leland hotel, was
given pass on the National Express
company by its general superintendent,

In gratitude to the young hotel clerk
Virgil presented him with the pass,
which gave him the right to send any
package free Of charge through the COM
pany.
A few weeks ago thu National Express
company was amalganated with the
Northern Pacific Express company, and
the new arrangement came into effect
3 few days ago. Mr.. Chamberlain had
used his pass whenever he had occasion,
but he was little in doubt as to whether
it would be Of any good under the new
management.
However, rs soon as the Office in the
Rookery building was open Mr.. Cham
berlain walked in with package direct
ed to c. R. Durkee, of Saratoga Springs.
The clerk weighed the package with par
ticular care, as this was the first one
handled by the new company. Then
when he asked for,pay the pass was pro
duced. General Superintendent HUT
was called in on the question of the
validity of the Anticipated pass, but he
knew that the document had never been
rescinded and the package was sent
along The pass was on fiimsy paper,
but the cashier mounted it on a piece OF
stiff pasteboard and preserved it care.

can will away the pass when he requires
