THE LORIAG CLUB SANG.
Successful Concert by a Popular
Organization.
A Fashionable Audience Applauded the
Amatems-Oid Fellows Hall
Crowded.

An enjoyable concert was given yester-
day evening at Odd Fellows Hall by the
Loring Club, assisted by Mrs. John Mar
quardt- Breitschuck.
AS usual when this club sings, there was
not vacant seat to be had in the build
ing, and as usual also, the music per-
formed was bright unpretentious, and so
well within the abilities of the singers that
they were able to render it artistically and
with considerable finish. The parts were
well balanced and the information was good.
A slight lack of absolute precision was
discernible occasionally, but this was very
fugitive. As rule the voices sang as if
they all proceeded from one throat
One of the most effective numbers was
"The Young Musicians by Kucken, the
quartet, consisting of ]. G. Morrisey, j. g.
Humphrey, S. G. Somers and W. Nelson,
helping very much to its success. ''The
Bedouin's Prayer" gave Frank Coffin a
solo, and in the arrangement of Schubert
dances, Mr.. Blum and w. j. Kelley sang
tenor solos very acceptably.
Mrs. Marquardt Breitschuck was re-
called three times for her first harp solo, a
"Fantaisie Serieuse," by Godfrey, but she
did not give an encore. After the second
solo, 'Marche Creates" however, she was
prevailed upon to play again.
David W. Loring, as usual, conducted,
and Miss r. w. Loring contributed all the
accompanying required.

PASS A BOGUS BILL.
Two Companions Arrested
for the Crime.
NOTES OF A DREADED PLATE.
They We're Executed by a Government
EngraYer.
ONLY EXPERTS CAN DETECT THEN.
D. Paquet Had Many Of Them and Induced

Auction Sale.
ONLY EXPERTS CAN DETECT THEN.

D. Paquet, an Oakland harness-maker,
and Alfonso Colson, cook, living on Sew
enteenth street this city, were arrested
yesterday and are now in the County Jail
charged with passing $50 bogus bill.
For almost generation counterfeit treas
ury notes, engraved by the same hand that
designed this one, have been in circula-
ton, or at least would appear now and
again in various parts of America.
So well executed were they that only
bank cashiers or men expert in detecting
little differences that distinguished coun-
terfeits from genuine notes could tell
them apart. The retail merchant would
take them only to learn from his bank that
he had been duped. The paper was almost
a perfect counterpart Of the Government
article. The engraving and printing were
to all appearances perfect, but on the por-
trait of Hamilton appearing on the face of
each a fatal mistake was made. Hamll-
toms coat Oh the original and genuine
notes had tiny square buttons, while the
counterfeits were round, a feature not per-
ceptible except under a powerful magnify
ing glass.
This particular bill has a singular his
tory. 1t was recognized as a treasury note
for $50, new series No. l, No. ISL, issued
under an act of March 8, 1868. The sigma
lures of L. C. Chittenden, Registrar of the
Treasury, and L. s. Spinner, Secretary of
the Treasury, are on it. The engraver who
made the plates for printing it was for
merry employed by the Government, but
was discharged on suspicion of counter
feiting.
Paquet had the note nearly two years
ago in Oakland. He moved to that place
from Stockton and engaged with L, Keser
in the harness business four years ago.
Some time later he sold out his interest in
the store and a patent horse collar to his
landlady, Mrs. Fredenburr, an Oakland
dressmaker for 81. Late in 1893 he gave
her the counterfeit note, asking that she
keep it for him, and next day told her to
buy SIS cloak.
Paquet declined to accompany her to the
The morning call., 1895-02-08

cloak store, so Mrs. Fredenburr went to
Joyce IL Co.'s house on Washington street
and bought coat for $15. She gave Paquet
the balance, but when Joyce presented the
bill at the bank it was returned. The
merchant would not prosecute Mrs. Freden-
burr, who got the price of the coat from
Paquet. Then Paquet took the note to
Raymo & Macdonald, tanners, and asked
Raymo to pass it off upon one of his work.
men and credit himself with the amount
on account.
Raymo refused, whereupon Paquet gave
the note to an old man named Smith. who
is now living in the Grand Army Home.
Smith was to buy theater tickets and re-
turn the change, but Mrs. Fredenburr told
him the note was bad. About the same
time Paquet and S. G. Collins, a brother of
Mrs. Fedenburr, were out driving, when
Paquct pulled roll OF green backs from his
pocket.
''How would you like to deal in this
stuff? It's no good, but that makes no
matter, so long as people don't know it."
The matter dropped, and Collins went to
the mines in Idaho next day.
Paquet since met Alfonso Colson, and a
week or two ago got him to pass the note
in payment of 81 for harness at the Auction
of L. Keser's stock in Oakland. The coun-
terfeit was not detected, and Paquet gave
Colson money for new clothes and to get
shaved, SO the duped auctioneer would not
know him. Keser kept the note, and when
young Collins returned last week from the
mines they concluded it was part of Pa
quet's stock in trade. Secret Service Agent
Harris was notified, and his son, n. r.
Harris, arrested Paquet in Goldberg, Bowen
& Lebenbaum' IS stable on California street.
and Colson at his home on Seventeenth
street
Colson claims he did not know the note
was counterfeit, and promises to tell all
he knows about Paquet, who pretends to
be innocent.
Paquet has a wife and three children
living on Scott place In this city The wife
had him arrested for failure to provide for
his children, but he was released on bonds
and went to Oakland. He told his old
landlady there he intended leaving the
country at once, and she asked him for
money due her and what her daughter had
loaned him. This made him angry, as he
expected TO borrow money from Mrs.
Fredenburr. He hit her with bottle on
the face, kicked and broke her nose and
then beat the daughters For this savage
assault he served six months in the Oak
land jail.
The treasury agents hope to get an in
teresting account of how Paquet received
the counterfit notes, which have long been
source of annoyance to them and uneasi-
ness to others, because the bills are nearly

ALAMEDA.

The Good Government Club held an en-
thusiastic meeting at Linderman Opera
house last evening. The chief business
was the presentation of names which will
be eventually balloted upon in order to
make choice OF candidates for the various
city offices, which the club as nominal
ing convention will present at the coming
election. The candidates are not to be
selected in the manner heretofore in vogue.
No limit is to be placed on the number of
names to be presented, but every vote will
be deposited under watchftlI care, and the
system to be presented contemplates no
roll-calFof delegates. Six ballot-boxes will
be placed on the stage in charge of mem
Der of the executive committee, who will
supervise the casting of ballots. The con-
vention will meet thirty days before cleo
ton. As only one night will probably be
required to elect the ticket there will be
ample time to canvass for signatures.
Many of the prospective candidates are
taking time by the forelock and circulating
petitions for the requisite percentage of
signatures.

The public interest in obtaining the ter
