on our life in California that explains, to
some extent, why it is that the worka-

departments of material advancement has
been brought almost TO a stale of perfec-

continued "Outside the boundaries of the

The first case reported to the police was

was locked up in the City Prison about six
months ago, during which time he acted
as steward of the institution.
The prisoner declares that he is limo
cent of any crime. He admits having
travelled about the tewn with DIR. Whit
field and having visited various saloons
with him, but denies any completely with
the doctor in passing counterfeit money.
Doctor" Whitfield has skipped the city.
Both Captain Harris and the police detec-
tives say he has gone. He is known as a
counterfeiter all over the country, and the
chances are that he will be caught before
very long. He was operating in San Fran
cisco about year ago, passing counterfeit
dollars. He then Travelled with woman.
She would go into store and make some
small purchase. Presently he would join
her and insist on paying for the goods. He
would contrive in some way to palm Off a
bad dollar for good one. AT that time he
pretended to carry on business as silver
smith on the south side of Mission street,
above Seventh.
Officers from the Southern police sta
ton suspected the place and made a raid
upon it. When they got inside they found
q full set of coun terfeiters' dies, pots and
tools, but the doctor" and his female
companion had fed. Whitfield was never
heard of again until he appeared in this
city three weeks ago in company with Nc
Donald.
The counterfeit fve-dollar coins were ex-
ceedngy bad ones. They are regular pot
metal tokens and ought not to have
deceived even schoolboy. They are as
light as nickel and very smooth to the
touch. They were washed with gilt, the
bright color soon fading into dull brown.

The Taking of Scissors.
Chicago Herald

Though no complexities are involved in
the making of scissors. yet the process is
very interesting. They are forged from
good bar steel heated to redness. each
blade being cut off with sufficient metal to
form the shank. or that destined TO become
the cutting part and bow, or that which
later on is fashioned into the holding por-
ton. For the bow small hole is punched,
and this is afterward expanded to the
proper size by hammering it on conical
anvil. after which both shank and bow
are filed into more perfect shape and the
hole bored in the middle for the rivet.
The blades are next ground and the han
dies filed smooth and FURNISHED with oil
and emery. after which the pairs are
fitted together and tested as to their easy
working. They are n OF finished, however.
They have to undergo hardening and
tempering, and be again adjusted, after
which they are finally put together again
and polished for the third time. In COM
pairing the edges of knives and sciss ors it
will be noticed. of course. that the latter
are not In any way so sharply ground as
the former. and that In cutting scissors
crush and bruise more than knives.

H. E. Winkler presided at last nights
meeting of the Holly Park and Mission

Supervisors, and new box located at once
A committee was appoin ted to wait on
the Spring Valley Water Company and ask
when the company intends 10 give the re- ST.
dents OF the district suita ole water sup
ply. Complaints were made that the
present supply and pressure in the district
were Inadequate and that many of the
higher portions were entirely without any
water whatever.
Satisfaction was manifested that the
Supervisors tad appropriated $4,000 to
carry on the Improvement of Holly Park.
The executive committee is to learn how
soon this money will be available, and
when bids may be called for the expendi-
ture of the fund to continue the improve
ments.
The inferior streetwork and other i'm
provements which are being accepted by
city officials was condemned as unjust to
the taxpayers, and in the interest OF con-
tractors alone.
A unanimous Endorsement was given to
the proposed Midwinter Worlds Fair in
this city, and the club placed itself on rec
ord as strongly favoring the project as a
means of reviving the interests and bust
ness of San Francisco.
The following named were elected as
officers of the club for six mon tbs: BARLEY

thrust his own good dollar into the bar
keepers hand, while with the other he
pushed the doctors change toward the
man behind the bar.
The complacent barkeeper was satisfied
go long as he collected his tolls. Seeing
that the doctor had succumbed he swept
the change back into the cash register,
took his pay for the drinks out Of Nc
Donald's big dollar and returned to the
doctor his beautiful $40 piece.
In the scramble during the controversy
as 10 which Of the two hould pay for the
drinks counterfeit IS coin would be sub

the genuine one which the barkeeper had
taken from the TILL
1t was not until long after the sharpers
had left the saloon that the spurious coin
would be discovered. Then the recollec-

strangers flashed upon the mind of the
Victim and he knew be had been swindled,
and that too in very clever way.
During the last three weeks the police Of
fee has been flooded with complaints from
salonn-keepers in regard to the operations
of these two rascals. The story told was
in every instance repetition OF the one
told before. There were some variations
as to the conversation which first took
place between the two men as they en-
tered saloon. Sometimes it was q dis
pute as tn the name of somebody known to
both. Then it was an argument over
some political question. and then again
they were making bet about the name Of
the winner of the Louisville Derby i've

keeper decide.

was always the same. The man that came

SEVERAL SALOONS SWINDLED
The Work of a Notorious Counter

Latest Swindling Device.

A large number of saloon-keepers in this
city have recently been victimized by two
counterfeters, one of whom is the notori-
Gus DR.. Whitfield. The other, John Nc
Donald. is now in the custody Of the
United States Marshal and is prisoner in
the County Jail.
Their methods of Showing the queer"
are audacious and amusing. Their sue
cess, too, has been phenomenal. consid-
ering the utter baseness of the spurious
coin palmed off on their ordinarily shrewd
victims.
The trick was no less than combina-
tion of the ''fim-fam" device with a
slight effort at legerdemain.
Whitfield and Mcdonald. both we'll

and Melon aid as his patient. The latter,

loud voice about his gratitude TO the ply

the work has progressed far beyond its
present situation no notice can be taken OF
any of these things.
w. Il. Mills of the Southern Pacific had
a long consultation with some of the
directors after the meeting yesterday, but
the nature of the meeting was kept secret.
The San Francisco WOmen's Council met
yesterday afternoon and after the regular
business had been disposed of the question
of what part the women of California
could take in making the midwinter inter-
national exposition a success, and what
part the women of the State should play in
the great show, were discussed at length.
The council decided that the women Of
California, and especially of San Fran
cisco. could be Of service in promoting the
fair in many ways. The council finally
decided to appoint committee, which will
hold itself in readiness to meet with the
directors of the exposition at any time
and discuss with them the questions per-
tanning 10 the women's auxiliary depart

answer.

same time throwing good ten-dollar piece
down on the bar.
The two having named their drinks.
Mcdonald would walk to the lunch

versation with the doctor, who remained
at the bar. By the time Mcdonald re-
turned from the lunch counter the drinks
would be ready and the doctors change
counted out to him. including good five
dollar piece and q lot of silver.
McD0nald's face would then be suddenly
transformed into an Interrogation point.
Then in q voice of assumed anger he would

barkeeper. while the doctor was pretending
to reach for 1t: "That don't go; l called

Saying this the grateful patient pulled

slapped it on the bar. Mean while the two
men would be engaged in a contest in
which their hands would be on the doctors
change, the one to push it toward the bar
keeper. the other to seize it for himself.
The outcome was always the same. Nc.
