man, but he stuck to his tale, and I
finally told him that I would put the
money in the hands of our experts
and see what they could make of 1t.
They pasted it on these slips, and they
found that 1t represented pieces of
$4,000 worth of notes. The fraud in
the case, however, was evident. 1t was
a strange thing that there was no
piece from the middle of a note, and
that the rats had left only those
pieces Of the notes which had some
printing on them to show their de-
nominal tons. We told the man we
could not allow him the money. He
went away very angry. About two
weeks later he came back, bringing
three big rats nests with him. He
laid these down on my table, and
said: There, sir, are the nests them
selves. You will find some of my $50, 900
still in them. found these after I
went home, and 1 have brought them
down just to show you that have
been telling the truth. My money has
been eaten, and I want it
"'All right said I, we will look at
the nests I handed them over to our
experts, and the pieces of money were
picked out. We found that in the nests
there were the pieces Of seven bills.
One Of these was hundred-dollar bill,
another was a ten, and there were five
! one-dollar bills. We at once saw that
they were not torn BY the rats, but
that they had been pulled apart by
| hand. A rat makes clean cut when
| it eats a, greenback. 1t does not masti-
| cate the whole bill, but it cuts holes in
it and haws out a piece here and
| there. His notes were all torn in little
| pieces. We then turned them over to

bills, pinching off the ends, so that he
,, finally got the pieces which made ths
representation of $21, 900. He was a
great rascal, and I wanted Chief
Brooks, of the secret service, to see
him. remember he came into the de-
partment that day with a. rank cigar
in his mouth. 1t was so bad that I had
to tell him he must not smoke while
! in the redemption bureau. He was
loud in his language and very profane,
and 1 told him he must not swear be-
fore the ladies. It was shortly after
this that he went up to see Chief
Brooks. Mr.. Brooks is q kind of a
| Sunday school man. He likes to warn
| boys against entering the paths of
crime, and before we came to business
| he told me of a Sunday school meeting
| which he had just attended in Phila-
delphia, and a speech which he had
made to the boys. He then talked at
length with the swindler, while I sat
| in the background. When we left.
however, saw the swindler throw his
arms around Mr.. Brooks neck, and
heard him say this: Brother Brooks,
| am good man. I never smoke; I
never swear. I am a. poor, humble fol-
lower of the lowly Jesus, and I want
| you to help me get back my money
The rascal had heard Brooks remarks
about the Sunday school, and he
thought he could work upon him in
this way ers1Ss j l,.,1-li..

they found that he was, as he claimed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 have
more stories today of men who are
trying to break into Uncle Sans
money box. He keeps his pile, you
know, in the United States treasury.
and there are in his vaults today
1884, 000,0 900. This vast sum is under
the charge of the United States
treasurer, bright-eyed, active man
Of fifty, perhaps, who stands not over
hive feet seven in his stockings, and
noes not weigh more than $50 pounds.
He has not the muscle of a Sandow,
and if he carries a revolver it is
not to be seen. Still, he is responsible
Tor more money, perhaps, than any
other man in the world, and when
he took possession of Uncle Sans
purse about two years ago, he gave
what is said to be the biggest re-
eeipt ever written for money actually
transferred. 1t was for $74O, 81, 419.
This mans name is Daniel N. Nor
gan, and he is Uncle Sans chief
watchdog. 1 called upon him this
afternoon. There was not even a.
messenger to stop me at the door,
and walked right up and stood be-
side his desk, before which he was
sitting and signing away millions
with black fountain pen, and he
told me that within the last five
days he had signed drafts to the
emount Of $17,0O0,000 with 1t. I asked
him some questions as to the small
change which he had charge Of for
Uncle Sam, and found he was posted
rs to every cent of that steady
5tream Of gold and silver and green
backs which flows at the rate of al
most a million dollars a day in and
but Of the United States treasury.
Bald he: you want to know of some
of the ways In which Uncle Sam IS
robbed? Well, they are few. The
United States government loses very
little money, 1 can tell you, though
there are many attempts Of one
kind or another to steal from it
But first let me give you some idea
of the money which we have or
hand. We have seven great vaults
Rach Of which contains millions. II
Vault No. there is nothing but sill
yer. It is in silver dollars and halves
Ind the sum total is more than $780,.
100000. In Vault we have lot
Of fractional silver, and between

coin. Vaults and 4 are filled with
national bank notes, which come in
Tor redemption. and in Vault WE
