Biddeford, October 3o.-Thursday
morning Deputy sheriff Stackpole of this
city went to Sanford to Investigate COM
plants mado that deer were being shot
there. At North Berwick Deputy Sheriff
4. A. Parker joined him. They hired
team and drove to the scene of the al
legged shooting and sale of the peIts in
South Sanford.
They ferreted out the stories and
traced the matter as far as they were
able but not sufficiently to warrant
making any arrests. Not only did they
secure evidence of deer shooting here
but in other instances as well.
In Reuben Chadburne's pasture at
South Sanford the heads and pelts of
two deer have been found and nearby
parts of dressed caroasses in the heath go
called. This makes five that are known
to have been killed in that locality and
there is no knowing how many have
been nearby and in other places in the
county.
The officers also learIped that there is
gang Of gunners operating on this ia
vorite game In the plainAalong the Ken
nebunk river. There are over a thousand
acres more or less in bat locality that

CHINESE CASHIERS.
They Know How to Deal with the Wor1d'l
Cleverest Counterfeiters.

Chinese bank notes are more like
promissory notes than our bank notes.
There is not and never has been a ma
currency to any extent. Tho banker
merely writes the amount on the note
and puts his private seal or chop over
it. Such notes are made out for all
sums from 5 to 10000 taels. aud the
Chinese banker never goes back on his
signature. He pays the notes when
they are presented in silver or gold.
The silver is usually paid according to
weight, In Jumps the shape of q toy
bathtub, ranging in value all the way
from 81 to $50. The usual size is worth
about $50. and it weighs about five
pounds. The gold is made in long, thin
cakes, and is 20 carats fine.
The banker stamps with his private
seal every piece of silver he pays out,
and the Mexican dollars are marked
thus with India ink. Every big bank
or company has a man who takes all
the silver dollars that come in and fits
them into holes made in a board, so
that when they lie on them their sur
face is just level with the board. He
lleu ldheS u UltSn dhu WAlcI duu
washes them as white and clean as
though they had just come from the
mint. He now stamps his chop on
each of them, and this means that he
i guarantees their payment.
Any one who has been in China will
see the necessity for this. There are no
shreWder counterfeiters in the world
than the Chinese, and they are espe-
cially adept in the plugging of coin.
The other day an American got a silver
dollar in trade at Hankaw and attempt
ed to pass it at the bank there. He was
told it was not good, and upon his ques-
tioning the matter the Chinese cashier
sent for a candle and lit it. He then
held the coin over it, and 10! in a mo-
ment it began to melt. The sides fell
off and in the center there was q piece
of copper. The counterfeiters had split
a genuine coin and had followed out
the two pieces on the inside, so that the
copper could be fitted into them
