For small bills the poorer quarters are
chosen, and the richer ones for the
larger denominations. The bills are sent
to some one who is thc recognized head,
and he distributes them To his different
branches in the most secret of ways.
A SLEEK GANG.
4 very skillful detective of the secret

counterfeit bills to one aristocratic neigh

MORE BAD BILLS.
There is a 81 bill with the head of Wash

If a lis; of all the known counterfeit

eyes OF suspicion would look upon every

been going on ever since money began. But

In the recent raids in New York, st.

LADY EXHIBITORS.
There are Il grcuE many lady exhibitors
this year. The largest one is Mrs. Sem
of New York, who is the greatest lady
breeder in America. and second in the
world only TO thc'Princcss of Wales, who
has larger kennels but does not person
ally -superintend the dogs all the year
around as Mrs. Sem does. Ms. Sem is
the woman who lost many valuable toy
dogs by miscreant poisoning last year, but
that has not deferred her from entering
many this season.
Two OF the most valuable Sem dogs
are King Charles and Blenheim, dogs OF
foreign birth. Bicnheim was born at
Henheim Castle, and was bred by the late
Duke of Marlborough.
Mrs. james Kernochan, whom horsemen
Know as the champion cross-couniry rider,
has entered a French bull dog OF ngli,st

wrinklcs-the deepest, and his expression
the most disconnected of ali his race.
GEORGE GOULD'S COLLIEs.
Mr.. George Gould has entered coIlics.
Mrs. Gould may show Siberian hounds.
1t is said this enterprising couple make
nice sum annually by selling puppies
from their kennels at FuT.ough Lodge,
orders for them being received only from
cherished few friends and being en-
gagged always for year to come. Some
idea OF the value OF these fancy dogs can
he had from that fact that Mrs. Charles
X. Hone, celebrated woman exhibitor,
values her schippcrkes at $500 apiece :he
day they are born, and adds another
hundred for every month of their age
until they are fun grown. "Schipperkcs''
are dogs born without tails, solid black
with short hair. The most valuable oncs
have a niane like "a lion. But the maze
Is very scarce.
Mrs. Frederick Gebhard divides her ~.
tention between prize bull dogs ana

is very fond. This sheep dog has Il

has no tail worthy the name, ana has
large, dropping ears.
There is TO be new class this year
for dogs that have not had either tail
or ears chopped. The Kennel Club has
decided that dogs are prcttier in their
natural state than cropped.

of So. This include the care and feed
of your dog during the four days of the
show. The day before it opens you pack
him in n box and address him to the
Madison Square Garden, stating how he
is to be returned. When he comes home
he will bring his checks with him, If
he has won money prizes, or Will carry
his awards either around his neck or I'm
his trunk as arrangements may have
been made for him. That is all there is
about entering n worthy dog, but many
are cast out as not worthy, and there
are people who do not like to put their
dogs in n show.
DOGS WORTH FORTUNES.
In other shows, such as the horse
show, live stock show, &c, the animal
is judged for his usefulness as wen as
his beauty. But in the case OF the dog
his award is a matter of pride and affec-
ton only. Valuable dogs do bring small
fortunes to those WHO sell them, but the
whole dog show has its origin in the pride
owners feel in their own fine how-wows.
His money value does not figure in the
estimation in which he is held, as it does
with the horse.
One of the largest exhibitors this year
Will be ]. Pierpont Morgan, whose love for
dogs is carried to the extent. OF placing
n kings ransom In his kennels annually.
Two OF Mr.. Morgan's dogs-serton Hero
and Rufford Ormond-cost 5000. They
are collies, and aroparticularly intelligent
as We'll as high bred. 1t is thought that
this year Mr.. Morgan will capture the
prize long craved-that of winning the
Collie Club Trophy. A kennel. TO win
this prize, must excel in collies for three
years. Then the trophy is his. Even then
he does not own IL, but has it in his
custody, like the Americas Cup.

CHINESE BUSINESS WOMAN
She Has Made Fortune Drying

AN ENTERPKIsING WOMAN
Mrs. Ouong Does Thriving
Business on an Island in the
Gulf of Mexico.

Talk OF new women! Some people i'm
agine that the women Of the Orient are Il II
of the oid-fashioned sort. Perhaps they
are-iD the Orient. but they don't invari-
bly, remain so when they get into the frcer
air of western lands. At all events one
of them-aand one of them from that most
conservative OF lands, China-bas shown
that the new woman OF America has moth
ing TO teach her about newness.
A MIXED POPULATION.
Down in the Gulf Of Mexico there is to
he found about the most curious and in
teresting mixture OF races anywhere on
earth. Representatives of every people
find their home there, and besides these
there is an Indigenous variety which is
IA hybrid OF most of the other kinds. Malay
Inen marry women from the basque PROV
inces of Spain. and their children marry
Frcnchmen, AMI then the grandchildren
double up with Mexican Indians, and 4
Chinese cross is added, and then perhaps
drop OF negro comes in somewhere, and
there you have a creature who includes
in his veins the blood OF all the continents
OF the world.
Then again some of the obscure islands
have colonies OF one sort who won't in
tcrmarry with strangers and who keep
their strain pure-of its kind. One of the
last kind is a Chinese co.ony engaged in
drying shrimp and shipping them TO China.
The Chinese people evcryw where are fond
Of dried fish. and OF all dried fish the sea
shrimp is the most delectabc. The shrimp
OF the Gulf of Mexico are the best in the
world. much better than those of France
for example, and they inhabii those warm
waters in untold myriads.
CHINESE ENTERPR RISE.
Some wandering Chinaman tasted in New
Orleans that deiicio;,s tidbit. dried shrimp
and he set out TO find the original source
of such an enchanting mouthful. He saw
schools Of shrimp Suffering about in the
