COUNTERFEIT TICKETS.
The Southern Pacific Causes the Arrest
of New York Broker.

New York, Sept. IA far-reaching
scheme to defraud the Southern Pacific
road by the issuance of counterfeit tickets
is supposed to be at the bottom of the
arrest of Clarence Barrett here today.
Barrett, who is a broker in dry goods
and agent of a mineral water, was ar
rested by Andrew Drummong, ex-chief
of the United States secret service, and
was held under $1,000 bail on a charge of
depositing in the mails on August IS
counterfeit passes of the Southern Pacific
company.
The Drummong agency has been work
ing on the case for four months and agents
arrested in New Orleans, Eugene Barrett,
a brother of Clarence, and Joseph Weber,
alleged to be in collision with the New
Yorker.
Mr.. Drummong is after a printer in
this city, and another agent in San Anto-
MO, Tex, who are said to be in the scheme.
Several months ago consignment of
10000 tickets were printed in this city
and sent to Barrett's brother in New
Orleans. They were conductors cou-
pons. The imitation was so imperfect
that detection was easy. Then it is
said the accused man turned his atten-
ton to advertisers tickets, which are
printed on ordinary slips Of paper and are
easily initiated. These were made out
on the Southern Pacific company and
about a dozen were accepted before the
fraud was detected. The names Of nearly
all the newspapers in the Southwest were
used on these slips. Barrett has been
under surveillance for several months. He
denied his guilt. His counsel said that
the man had simply acted as an agent for
New Orleans people and that he did so
understanding that the tickets were to
be used for advertising purposes.

sixteen months, by which time he had
forgotten his sorrows and had trans

And then came changes. For nearly
year the boys had roamed together
over the neighborhood, hunting and
fishing, riding their ponies, living a
healthy, active, outdoor life except
when at their lessons or asleep,
and the bond between them had
grown stronger and stronger as
the days went by. But old Fort

the southern side Of the range over to
a plateau several miles to the east. At
the same time the regiment to which
Icons kind friends and protectors be-

several years Of exile, and new and
strange command was to take its place.

trail followed the canyon itself "a

night Of the big cloudburst that swelled
the stream to the force and fury OF a
Niagara and drowned old Sanchez and
his whole party Of prospectors, packers
and pack mules, even the Indians
seemed to shun it. The only survivor
of the tragedy was n lad of twelve, the
son of Yankee miner, and his Mexican
wife-a lad whose name was Leon Mac

and Leon the Christian name given him
by his dark-eyed, dark-haired dark
skinned motherG and Leon, swept
away in the food, was fshed out at
dawn several miles below by squad
of troopers from old Fort Retrihution.
The little fellow was more dead than
alive, half drowned and sadly battered
and bruised by the ilotsam and jetsam
of the wreck whirled along with him
by the raging waters, and for time all
effort to revive him failed. When at
last he was able to speak and tell his
name he was lying in dainty little
bed in cool room, with such gentle,
plying, mctherly face bending over
him and such soft hands caressing his
heavy crop of coal black hair, and be-
side the sweet womanly face was that
of a sturdy Saxon boy of about Icons
own age, whose blue eyes were full of
anxiety and sympathetic interest The
first handclasp the little orphan seemed
to recognize was this other boys. 1t
was In answer to his questioning that
the bewildered patient feebly murmured
hts name, Leon MacNutt, and could
not at all understand the merriment in
the room when his questioner turned
with grave, perplexed, incredulous face
to the two gentlemen in uniform stand
ing by and wondcringly announced

titled; even officers and ladies seemed

low Old is the EARTH.

Men of science have giyon many
widely different answers to this ques-
ton. More than thirty years ago
Lord Kelvin, then known MS Professor
William Tomson, set down the age OF
the earth at one hundred million
years. BY the earth's age he meant
the timo that has elapsed since the
consolidation of the globe.
Tho estimate was based upon Ger.
tain experiments showing tho ratio at
which the rocks probably cooled down
from q molten condition. Recently
moro numerous and accurate expert
ments bearing on this question have
been made, and in view of these Lord
Kelvin has revised his original figures,
and has very greatly reduced his csti-
mato of the age Of the earth. Ho now
puts it NJ only twenty-four million
years. This, however, seems to BIO n
very respectable old age, even for q
planet. Youths Companion.

Cooking in Electric Ovens.

English electricians deserve much
credit for the practical way in which
they have solved many of the prob
lens arising out of developments in
electrical cookery. a well known
writer on tho chemistry of cookery
has given it as his opinion That tho
perfect arrangement of an oven would
be the radiation OF its heat from all
sides. This is now done in IN electric
oven which is having n large sale in
London. The process is said to pro-
duco n cooked meat, absolutely whole
some and extremely appetizing. There
is no combustion whatever III tho
oven, rld the food, being cooked in a
pure Atmosphere, cannot possibly be
tainted. The heat is turned on Mt any
part merely by the movement of n
switch. 1t is produced inside the
oven, and it is SO conserved that after
the oven is once nude hot what is re-
quired to carry on the process is little
more than sufficient to make up for
slight lenkages. The electric oven
can DO put on the kitchen dresser
when needed, and 1t throws practical
ly Mother heat nor smell. Tabulatcd
lists are provided from which, the
weight and description of tho joint
being given, full instructions are de.
rived as to the time and temperature
of tho required cooking. Roast NUT
ton takes temperature of $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, beef $40 degrees and veal
$50 degrees; and heat of $40 degrees

able tint and consistency. The COM
paratiyc GOODNESS of the outside of the
oven is singular feature, rs the chef
remarked at recent dinner: "You
could sit down on tho oven while you
roast inside. "-Picayune.
