A YOUNG WOMAN FORGER
ELIZA CASSELL CAUGHT BY DETEC-
TIvES ON BICYCLES.
Represented Herself as Mary Long, of
Wayne Township, and Tried to
Borrow Money ON Land.

Eliza CasseIl, twenty-six years DID, was
arrested yesterday for attempting swindle
in real estate deal with the A. Metzger
agency. She went to the agency and rep
resented herself as Mary Long. of Wayne
township and asked for a loan of $500. She
offered to give mortgage on piece OF
land owned by Mary Long near Mount
Jackson. She first called at the office Mon
day or Tuesday and was promised the loan
provided she could execute the mortgage.
She returned again Wednesday and was
asked for an abstract of the title TO the
property. She said she did not have one,
but would have it made and return with 1t
next day. Her actions and the fact that
she had no abstract aroused the suspicious
of the manager Of the agency and he mott
fled Superintendent Colbert. The latter de-
tailed detectives Thornton and Richards TO
work on the case and they were on hand
yesterday when the woman called.
She had the abstract and very promptly
signed the deed and all the necessary pa
pers to secure the loan. She was told to
return to-day and get the money, and lett
the office. She was followed by the detec-
tives. They thought she was not acting
alone in the swindie and thought by fol-
lowing her she might lead them to her ac-
compiice. She Went to the postofhce corner,
entered buggy and drove away.
The detectives were on foot and 1t was
too late to get a buggy. But both the de-
tectives are bicyclists. and they borrowed
wheels and were soon on the trail of the
woman. They followed her through Mount
Jackson and about a mile beyond and then
placed her under arrest.
AT the police station she admitted she was
not Mary Long and that she had planned
TO get money on false representation.
She was slated for forgery. She lives on
the Rockville road mile and a half west
of Mount Jackson.

A FEW WORDS TO WORKERS.
What Honest Money Is, and Why
Workers should Demand IT.

Gentlemen-To be honest is to be true and
reliable Honest money is true money re-
liable money. Should we favor any other?
Dishonesty anywhere, in anything, is
wrong and injurious. Money is value The
most value in the least bulk least variable
and available for many purposes, is in gold.
In 1884 our government established 25s
grains OF standard gold as the
quantity value TO be called a dol
lar. That is a dollar, and so re-
mains to-day The value of that dollar is
known and recognized the commercial
world over. and is exchangeable for any
other desired value. to that amount, in ex-
istence at the time and place, because the
value of that weight and quality of gold is
known, and the imprint of our government
is the guarantee as to quantity and quality
or gold in the coins. If 25.S grains only is a
dollar. could Is grains be such? And would
a dollar stamp thereon make them so?
Would it be honest, then, for the govern
ment TO coin such pieces to circulate with
the true dollar? Would the true dollar cir
cuIa5e with them? 1T would be Illegal" [
reply. But suppose, such coinage was au-
thorZed by Congress. would that be honest
legislation, and would IL make the deficient
dollar any less a fraud and the govern
ments stamp any less a liza deceptive lie.
swer. Then TO This wrong add the legal
tender provision. compelling you and me
IL is not. Could anything. more iniquitous
in great government be eonceived2 Who
could dare demand our government TO par
ticipate in such fraud and fassehood in
the face of the civilized world?
Well. would the matter be improved by
having the deficient-yalue dollar of diff
ferent metal? That is free coinage. The
demand is for the free and unlimited coin
age of both silver and gold at the present
ratio of 16 10 t. why not grain for grain :?
The present ratio of value is as 81 TO / why
not that ratio. since only equal value of ali
coins of the same denomination can be hon
est money? When the present ratio of
weight was established it was supposed 10
be the relative value of the two metals /;
so that each dollar would contain exactly
the same value. Now the ratio OF value OF
silver TO gold is 81 TO / instead of l6 to l.
and each silver dollar coined would be
nearly one~half deficient in grains and
short in value. Gentlemen, we can never
agree TO be parties to such dishonesty. or
to so disgrace our country in the eyes of
the civilized world The glory OF any gov
eminent is It's honor the integrity and well
fare of its citizens
