WATCH YOUR BILLS.
Dangerous New Countcrfcits Have
Made Their Appearance.

A couple of new counterfeits have re-
Gently made their appearance. They are
OF the 81 silver certificate andA-of the g
treasury note.
The 81 counterfeit Is OF the, series OF
1891, check letter A; j. Fount Tillman,
register; ID. n. Morgan, treasurer. IL is
printed from a photo etched plate. The
treasury numbers 17,097,70 appear In
white behind the blue numbers 1S,09S sol.
The seal is excellent, both as to color and
workmanship. The note is very heavily
printed, and the lathe work appears much
broken and disconnected. The face OF
Martha Washington Is very poorly ex-
ecuted, having blosted, disfigured look,
and is devoid of expression. The small
lettering in the border and on the face OF
the note and OF the imprint OF the bureau
of engraving and printing in the upper
left end face and lower center back of the
note can hardly he deciphered. The paper
upon which this counterfeit is printed
contains distributed silk threads like
those in the genuine.
The g counterfeit is of the series of 1891,
check letter G, Rosecran's register; Me-
beker, treasurer. The note Is from one
eighth to three sixteenths of an inch
smaller tnsn the genuine. The color of
the treasury numbers and seal is OF "a much
darker red than that OF the genuine, and
the numbers are much heavier. On the
portrait of Mcpherson, in the counterfeit,
n blotch OF black ink completely hides the
nostrils and lower part of the nose, and
the beard does not extend down and cover
a small portion OF the coat collar as III the
genuine.
The outlines'of the lower or fifth button
in each of the two rows on the coat in tho
genuine are clearly defined. In the coun-
terfeit portion of one only can just be
discerned. The lathe work Is broken and
disconnected, 1t being impossible to trace
the lines in many places. in the small
figure "2," lower right end face of the
counterfeit, the word two, which appears
twice inside the figure on the genuine, is
missing in the counterfeit.

While. 25 little children OF the st.
Mary's parochial school were singing
chorus last night at an entertainment in
Irons Hall, Olneyville, some one opened
the hall door and cried fire and at the same
time volume of smoke poured in upon the
audience OF nearly thousand women
and children, who were crowded into the
place SO closely that nothing but standing
room was left. they were on the third
floor and panic ensued in which the dan
ger to frantic people continued long after
the slight blaze on the second floor, which
caused the trouble, had been extin-
guished.
The scene in the hall was frightful one.
There We're children, but six or seven
years old, on the stage, and their mothers
in the audience powerless TO reach them
in the struggling crowd rushing, without
seeing where, for some means OF exit. The
hall doors wero burst open by the force of
the jam, and those in front We're pushed
headlong into the smoke filled corri-
dors and out on the stairways, but for
them there was no danger, as the
fire did not get into the passages and the
terrified people soon learned that the way
to the street was clear. Others, however,
did not fare SO we'll. The narrow iron
fire escapes on the Manton avenue and
Olneyville square fronts were crowded
with women screaming for their
children, and helpless little ones being
carried with the rest and held to the lad
ders more by the contact with others than
by their own efforts. But, dangerous as
the situation appeared to the terror
stricken crowd that filed Olneyville
square and watched those whom they
could not help, everyone escaped and none
received serious injury.
At the first cry OF fire there was AZ
alarm given for the Johnston Fire Depart
ment and an alarm from box 3T3 called
out the city firemen who, with their lad
dere, rendered valuable assistance in TAX
ing people from the windows.
Lieutenant Dary of Station 6, Constable
Carroll, Town Sergeant Holbrook and
Officer Doane did splendid work in caring
for the people and keeping back the
crowds. Half dozen women and children
who tainted or were bruised in the rush
were attended by Drs. Longfellow and
Fprrel.
The fire was caused by the explosion Of
a kerosene lamp in Martin Premo's barber
shop on the second floor Of tho block.
Damage about 500.

Mr.. Horr stated that IL seemed singular
that there was so great oesue

Island, so called, will be heard, her voice
sounding the Republican victory 20 LOUD
as any other State in the Union. Mr.
Horr said that the Democrats cried Tor the
discarding of national issues ana the
taking up OF State issues.
He could not see why the
national issues should be discarded unless
there was something in the affairs OF the
nation that the Democrats do not want
aired. He had discovered since his visit 20
this State that a peculiar condition oil
affairs existed. Here the Demo
Gratis, becoming dissatisfied with
an election by the people, wished 10
choose for themselves. He had come 10
the conclusion that TO vote for Demo
cratic candidate was as near voting Tor
nobody as possible, as at the last
election several ballots marked with
the crosses opposite the blank spaces had
been counted as Democratic ballots. Jap

The entire nation is looking for the re-
turns from this state. II is small,
but a small territory gives individuality
TO Its Inhabitants. In the past
year the nation has learned something
and everyone knows more than they did
~ months ago. II an election for Presi-
dent could be held tomorrow would there
be any question about the result? Rhode
Island must get into line with the train
now moving so as not TO be left in the
glorious uprising in 1895. Then the con-
dition OF things will be changed.
The speaker closed with q stirring APP
peal 10 every man TO work hard for the
preservation Of the law and good govern
ment, by the election OF the full Republic

read extracts from newspapers speaking
OF the overwhelming Republican victo-
ries of the week and called upon oil TO put
forth their best efforts in carrying this
State for the Republican party. Other
States had spoken, there was victory in
the air, and Rhode Island should speak
with no uncertain sound.
When the applause had subsided there
were calls for "Sheridan," but il was ex-
planned that he was feeling i'll. President
Olney urged the club TO rally 10 the polls
tomorrow and victory was assured. The
meeting then came TO close.
