. CLEAR CASE OF DISCRIMINATION.

Cape Hayticn Authorities Refuse Entry to
an American but Not to q British Vessel.
WASHINGTON, Oct 90. - The United
States Consul at Cape Haytien has made .
report to the State Department under date
of September 26, in regard to the case Of
the American steamer Saginaw, of the
Clyde line, which was refused free pra-
tique, notwithstanding she had clean bills,
and ordered to quarantine for Eve days In
defense of this action the commission at
Haytien said that the Saginaw came from
an injected port and that cholera was rag
ing in New York. The agent of the vessel
said that he would hold the Haytien Gov
ernment liable for all losses arising there
from.
That there was discrimination against the
American vessel is shown in the fact that
the British steamer Aiene, which left New
York September IA, was allowed to enter at
Port au Prince without detention or moles-
tation of any kiud

ANOTHER MOVIE MADE.
The Printing Company Notified Not
to Print the Ballots.
THE ORKWILL GO on, HOWEVER.
Ballot Reform Association Offers Assistant
Counsel
IN THE EFFORT FoTEsrTHE BAKER LAW

Another effort to stop the printing OF the
Pittsburg Printing Company, which has the
contract for printing the ballots, informed
the County Commissioners yesterday that
notice had been served on them to stop the
work. The notice was given by William
Mscrum, one of the parties interested in
the suit filed in the Supreme Court. The
notice was to the effect that the company
had not better 60 on with the work. There is
q question if the contract Is legal one.
If it is alleged, he asserted, the county
could not be held responsible for the money,
the Commissioners we're personally not
liable. The company gave no indication to
the Commissioners that they would pay any
attention to the notice, the contract having
been completed and bond given. The
Commissioners treated the matter as a
''bluff" made to stop the work.
No further action has been taken in the
case before the Suprem. Court, and the
Commissioners have as yet received no Off
cial notice OF it.
Yesterday the Commissioners received a
telegram from George g. Mercer, of Phila-
deIphia, Secretary of the Pennsylvania
Ballot Reform Association. He said the
Association, if desirable, would furnish
assistant counsel free of charge to Alle-
gheny county to aid the Commissioners in
determining the ballot suit.
The Commissioners returned q reply to
Mr. Mercer, thanking him for the offer and
stating that as yet they had received no
official notification of the suit When they
did they would consult with their attorney
and be guided by him in acting upon the
generous offer
The Pennsylvania Ballot Reform Associ-
alton making the offer is the association
responsible, it is stated, for having secured
the passage of the Baker ballot law when
its defeat had already been determined
upon at Harrisburg.

CHAPTER 81.

CHAPTER X1.
A small, square sign beside the post of a
door in one of the business streets of New
York set forth tho fact to all whom it
might interest that Daniel Stewart, arch
itect, had his Office on the second floor.
Apparently this announcement had been
of interest to no one, for it had stared the
public blanlly in the face for moro than
twelve months and the public had
vouchsafed il no attention.
A very different thought had been in
Mr.. Stewards mind when he put it
there, and his intention had been to be
discriminating and trifle hard to please
in his selection of patrons, and just
little difficult in regard to the orders
which would inundate him-not enough
to dam the tide of prosperity, of course,
but sufficient to increase it's impetuosity.
A man must not cheaper himself, he
must demonstrate that he has full belief
in his own ability and consciousness of
its worth, so that the world in its I'M
thinking haste may find this view ready
to its hand and adopt it. So thinks
every man who is worth his salt when
he embarks on new venture; and so
he should think, for if in youth he has
not belief in himself and hope for the
world his case is q sad ono, and the
sooner he buys himself revolver and
HES him to n better country the better
for his comfort.
Dams was n sunny, hopeful nature,
and it took twelve full months of per-
sistent discouragement to convince him
that Il callous public was resolved to
give him no opportunity to house it in n
style and for price heretofore I'M
dreamed of, and to make him realize
that belief in ones self, while undoubt-
edly an excellent thing, is inadequate to
force from the world substantial recog-
milton Of ones talents. Houses he could
build, and that right well, for he had a
thorough knowledge of his business; but
an ability can scarcely be considered
of practical value when there seems no
market for it. Houses there were in
plenty to be builded, but other men got
the work somehow through being in the
ring or having interest or other things
to push them, while Dan was n little
outside Of it all, not being even native
born New Yorker
He had first seen the light of day Tor
rather of twelve wax candles, for it was
eleven o'clock of a pitch dark night in
a stately room of n stately house near the
city of st. John, New Brunswick. Some
superstition of his house, handed straight
down from Highland granddam, de-
manded that to insure good fortune to
an infant no must DO ushered into the
world by tho aid of candles twelve in
number, and that, to secure exceptional
good fortune, such as intellectual gifts

FRENCH BANK BILLS.
Elaborate Precautions to Avoid Theft am
4 ~s@S CounterfeitinR.

Elaborate Precautions to Avoid Theft am
49, Counterfeitinv
All French bills are issued by the
Bank of France, which carries on the
VIII ole process of manufacture, includ
ing even that of the paper on which
they are printed and the ink used. The
paper factory is at La Fertesous.
Jouarre; where linen rags are SO treated
as to produce a paper of a peculiar
quality.
The special paper is made, inspected,
cut into sheets and shipped to Paris
under the care of two of the bank
officials, who are held responsible for
every sheet. The sheets are packed in
bundles of one thousand in each, and
are printed in the basement of the bank
building in Paris.
AS with the blank paper, the bills, in
every stage of fabrication, are in charge
of some official, who must account for
every one which has come into his
hands, either by showing it, or a receipt
given for it by the official to whom he
has handed it over. AS the bank has
sometimes printed 400, 900 bills a day,
and at such periods employs about 400
persons in the printing department.,
strict accounts are necessary to prevent
loss, and an elaborate system of hum
bugging and checking is used.
series of lists consists of 1000, which
are numbered from 1 to 1000, and
twenty-five series, lettered A, B, C, ETC.,
and tied up toge Their under the name OF
an alphabet" After each operation,
the bills are verified by women who sign
their names on the band placed around
the bundles. AS there are nine oper-
ators there must be nine notifications,
and the final verifcation is repeated by
fresh set of inspectors, so that moth.
ing can be overlooked
After the bills are completed they arc
delivered to the secretary of the bank,
who examines them and gives a receipt
Tor them, discharging the head of the
printing department from further re.
sponsibility. They are then placed in the
vaults and are withdrawn for issue only
by order of the governors of the bank.
The principal difficulty in regulating
the accounts comes from the defective
bills. No bill is allowed to pass the in.
spectors which shows spot, an un-
even margin, defect in printing OF
any other imperfections, and the bills
thrown out must be recorded in the
books with quite as much accuracy as
those which pass successfully to the
final stage
Every bill rejected by the inspectors
is stamped and it's place in the series
filed by check. The stamped bills
go to the secretary of the bank, who
puts them under lock and key, and new
bills, corresponding to the checks, are
printed, and credit is given to the paper
mandatory for the paper necessary tc
make these.
The accounts of the ''faulted" bills
are carried through the books, and TO,
verifcation the stamped bills them
selves are kept for five years. At the
end of that time, if there has been nc
question about them, the regents Of
the bank, the secretary, the examiners
the chiefs of the printing department
and the chiefs of the department of bill
accounts join in signing an order, in
pursuance of which they are taken from
the vaults and destroyed Genie

HIS ACCOUNTS ARE SHORT.

A Columbia, Pa, Bank Clerk Proves to be
t. Embezzler.
COLUMBIA, Pa, Aug. 19.-About three
weeks ago John T. Miller, ledger clerk in
the First National Bank here, was given
leave of absence to go to the Adirondacks.
Not returning on the expiration of his
leave and hearing nothing from him, the
bank officials became suspicious and put
an expert at his books.
The expert has completed his work and
finds that Miller has been stealing from
the bank for the past three years and
adroitly doctoring his books.
The officials refuse to give the amount
stolen, but it is understood to run we'll
up into the thousands.
Miller is a young man and single.
