An avenging Nemesis is pursuing

felt the coin.
Treasury officials are in a quandary
how tostop the counterfeiting of coins.
1t has been ascertained and proved
that the extensively engraved dies
used for stamping the coin can be dup
Heated at a trifling expense from the
coin itself by what is known as the
"hot metal" process.
These ''hot metal" dies will do as
good work as the engraved dies, the
only difference being that they have
not as long life. A set of these dies
was made by a mint emplOye in Phil
idelphia and coins were struck
50 perfect that they withstood all tests.
This was done in the presence of mint
officials who had doubted the possibil-
ity of the feat.
No change Of device will afford any
protection SO long as millions Of the
old coins are outstanding, nor has any
device been suggested which in reality
offers any great difficulty for counter
feiters to overcome. Where the coun-
terfeiting is being done is eq Tally a
mystery.
In what respect is a counterfeit

sains the same weight and tineness Of
silver? or course, no one will coun-
jerfeit gold coin in that way, because

LETTER FROM GERMANY,


EDITOR JoURNAL:-I arrived in Ber-
lin several weeks ago and am getting
accustomed, in way, to the habits of
the German people.
First l will tell YOU that Berlin is
built ona fiat sandy plan, which,
though cultivated, is far from fertile.
Owing to the scarcity of stone here a
great many of the public buildings are
made of brick and plaster, still there
is much to admire In the modern
architecture, of the city and espec-
tally in the private houses on the out
skirts, which display much original
ity of design and elegance of taste.
One of the greatest Inconvenience
that we have to endure is the sand
storms which sail down the long
streets, penetrating the houses and
binding and sitting every one who
faces them. Occasionally a pillar of
and rises at the Halle Thor, OH the
southern side of Berlin, and whirls
down Frledrichstrasse and passes out
leisurely, an hour afterwards, on the
opposide side Of the city and gives
place to another, equally as bad, fol-
lowing close at its heels. 1t
infames the eyes and irritates the
skin much like powdered glass-con-
Sequently the first thing that strikes
an American upon arriving here is
the large number Of people wearing
spectaclcs- men, women and even
children.
About every fourth business house
deals in Intoxicating drinks-the fol-
lowing are some of the inscriptions
that are conspicuous: "Bier-local," T"
"wein-stube, "Rum-fabrik," "Alle
Sorten Bier und Brantwein," "Tabac
und Cigarren Fabrik" and "Distilla-
tion."
The military element predominates
here. "Unter Den Linden" is a very
beautiful place.
Yesterday 1 saw snow, the first

Strikingly queer for an American to
notice express wagons drawn by dogs,
and men and often women. One ex-
ceedingly funny, but very nice thing
here is the stoves or heaters. They
are porcelain arrangement, and a
fine thing for saving fuel. They are
feet high, feet wide and feet
thick, You build fire in the bottom
in the morning, let the gas burn COM
pletely out Of the coal, then screw the
top in so that the fire box is air tight'
and one fire will last all day. Fires
cost cents per day, which is cheap
and your light costs according to the
Quantity you use.
All of the beds here are single beds
and two in a room and we sleep be-
tween two feather beds.
Every one drinks liquor, women not
excepted,and if you 90 to a restaurant

A WOMAN WITH a SHADY RECORD
Greer of Dolly Miller, Who Was Re
cemtIy AIres s.ed in Portland

Walla Walla, Wash, Jan. 11.-Char-
ley Tom and Dolly Miller, whose arrest
i'll Portland for unlawful cohabitation
has been announced in the Associated
Press dispatches, were married in Walla
Walla August 30, 1895, the officiating
clergyman being Rev. w. NJ. Fancher,
M. E. Church South. At the time ii
caused great comment among the Chi
nese population of Walla Walla Sew
eral days before the wedding it was
announced that the ceremony would
take place on the date above, which
caused the Chinese population to be-
come very indignant and threats of tar
ring and feathering the couple were
made. The day of the wedding Charley
Tom came to town and secured a license
from the county auditor, and invited
the county and city officials and news
paper representatives to witness the
ceremony At the appointed time the
ceremony was performed in the pres
ence of large number of persons in
cluding officials and many prominent
business men.
Several days after, the woman, who
had formerly been an inmate of a dis
reputable house. left her husband and
vowed she would not live with him
That evening Charley Tom came to the
city from his small fruit farm and after
great deal of persuasion induced her
to return to his home, where they re-
sided until about three months ago,
when the Chinaman went to Portland.
The wife came to the city and again
entered house of ill-repute, but left
here for Portland to join her husband
last Wednesday. The Chinaman had
known the woman only three weeks
when he married her, having met her at
neighboring farmers, where she had
been employed several days as do
nestle.
On July 5, 1895, George Murray an ex-
soldier of the Fourth cavalry, died in
the city from poisoning. At the time
he was living with Dolly Miller. From
the moment of the first announcement
that Murray's death was caused by
morphine poisoning, suspicion sprung
up in the minds of his friends that it
was neither suicide or accident, that
| Dolly Miller knew more about the case
than she cared to disclose. Investiga-
tion at the coroner's inquest tended
to strengthen this belief, but no direct
| evidence could be discovered to fasten
the crime on the woman or any other
person.
The woman at that time testified that
her name was Alice Thorne, and al
though she lived with Murray sever
months they were never married. Muir.
ray was well thought of by his former
officers and comrades in the army and
all express the opinion that the woman
had something to do with his sudder
| death.

Omaha, Jan. 12.-Ex-City Treasurer
Henry Bollin occupies a cell at the
county Jail, with no prospect of giving
bonds. He is charged with embezzle-
ment.
When he was elected two years ago
Bollin was considered one of the veal
thiest and most prominent citizens of
Omaha. He says he does not know
what became of the money. He has
not got dollar; $115,00O of the city
cash has disappeared, and there is
nothing to show where the bulk of it
went.
Both complaints charge Bollin with
embezzlement and grand larceny. One
complaint charges him with embezzle-
ment and grand larceny in wrongfully
and feloniously taking unto himself the
sum of $500 belonging to the school dis
trict of the city of Omaha, during
the month of March, 1898. The check
which was given for this sum was not
out of the usual check book used for
drawing moneys from the school fund,
but was a loose check, there being no
stub to be found showing the amount
of the check or that it had been drawn.

HIGHWAY RoeseRs IN PORTLAND
Streetcnr Held Up and Conductor and
Passengers Robbed.

Portland, Or, Jan. 12.-At o'clock
this evening an electric car on the east
side road from Oregon City to Portland
was held up by a lone highwayman. The
conductor and seven passengers were
held up.
The robbery took place just south of
the city limits, and seemed to be well
planned.
The track was obstructed by two
fence rails, in front of which was placed
a lighted candle, which the motorman
took for danger signal.
When the car stopped the robber
jumped on the rear end with revolver
in his hand. and compelled the con-
ductor to deliver his fares. He then di-
rected attention to the seven passengers
all of whom he relieved of small
amounts of money, but their jewelry
and watches were undisturbed.
No trace of the robber has yet been
discovered.
About the same time. Coachman New
ell, employed in the family of Arthur
c. Emmons, was held up by two high
waymen while on his way to the city,
but the robbers did not secure any
booty.
Hardly a night passes but what one
or more holdups are reported. It is
apparent that there is an organized
gang at work.

Berlin, Jan. 12.-There is distinctly
less stress of feeling here today in re-

growing out of the Transvaal crisis, and
the German press, as a rule, devotes
less space to 1t than for some time.
The tone of the comment of the news

is rather more peaceable, and there is
less talk of active hostilities and more
hope expressed of an unarmed settle

of irritation at the British government
and of rancor against the English peo-
pie are still more or less bitter, however
The Tageblatt today replies to the as
sertions made yesterday in the West
minister Gazette that Germanys atti-
tude on the Armenian question had
alienated Great Britain and had driven
ii to accept a rapprochement with
France. The Westminster Gazette add
ed that there was absolutely no inten-
tion on the part of Great Britain to en-
ter the Franco-Russian alliance any
more than the dreibund, but Great Brit
ain had become, it was hoped, better
friends with both France and Russia.
To which the Tageblatt replies:
80 England has sought hitherto to a
point d'appui in the dreibund. Germany
would not have noticed that unless Eng
lands ceaseless colonial intrigues and
the unjustifiable abuse in the English
press is proof of such an intimacy. II

TROUBLE is FEARED AT PERRY
Schools VIII Open today for Admission
of Whites and Blacks.

Perry, o. T., Jan. 12.-The conserva-
tive people of this place fear trouble
tomorrow between the black and the
white races. According to the decision
of the court. schools We're opened for
the admission of all races and color.
The fight has been going on for three
months.
The school board voted a few days
ago to suspend the schools, but the
colored people sued out a writ of man
damus compelling the board to open
them again. This was supported by
the people who preferred mixed schools
to none, so the board was compelled to
reconsider its action, and tomorrow the
public schools of the city will contain
both whites and blacks. Several white
men declare they will keep their chill
dren from school; nor will they send
them where colored children stay. The
colored people are firm and trouble is
expected.

The Westminster Gazette this after
noon says that it learns as a result
of Emperor Williams action toward
Great Britain in the matter of the
Transvaal. the marquis of Salisbury
will announce at the cabinet meeting
today reapproachment between Great
Britain and France and Russia. The
Westminster Gazette adds that the cab
met will also be informed of the effort,
which it is hoped may yet be crowned
with success. to end the Venezuelan
dispute by an agreement with the Vene-
zuela district The Westminster Ga
zette adds:
This is complicated by internal rev.
olutionary difficulties but is being
steadily prosecuted. If direct diplomatic
relations could be re-established, there
would be a good prospect of an early
agreement through the good offices of
an American state, not the United
States"
The cabinet meeting lasted three
hours. The colonial office says it is
true that the situation in the Trans
vaal is more strained than it was. The
first naval reserve men have been or
dered to hold themselves in readiness
for service. The second naval reserve,
composed of men belonging to the mer-
camille marine, has been notified that
the services of some of them will short

HATCHERY FOR THIS STATE.
Washington City, Jan. Ex-senator
Squire has introduced a bill granting to
the state of Washington certain lands
for the benefit of fish hatchery. The
land which it is sought to convey is at

will be the southwest quarter of section
26, the southeast quarter of section 27,
and the north half of section 80, town
