"Rome of Today and Yesterday. The
Pagan City" is a book which appears
to the sense Of touch even before 1t
makes a record with the sense Oh slght.

Yesterday with which the author has

A $2o,oOo,ooo S FRAUD.
That Is What the Bridal Pachagc In the
Government Treasury Is Declared to lie.


"I hate to shatter pet delusion by
giving the facts in the case" said
former clerk in the treasury department
at Washington, "but fraud ought to be
exposed regardless of consequences, and
the greatest fraud / know of is the fa-
nous bridal package Of the treasury
vaults

general sense. 1t is famous only
among bridal couples. I don't know
how it is, but every bridal couple that

tour--and it seems to me that about
nine-tenths of the bridal couples of the
country go to Neutrality-suspicious. all
about that package, and the bride cant
rest until she goes through the regular
routine connected with 1t. No visit tc
Washington by stranger is complete
without an inspection of the treasury
vaults, but if his or her visit is a non
bridal one the fraud of the package
isn't played.
81 don't know who it was in the dc
partment that first imposed it OH bri-
dal pair, but IL went, and 1t grows In
popularity every year. When the couple
enter the vault, the man in charge, aft
er few preliminary and perfunotory
remarks, reaches up ON a shelf, takes
down package Of notes. and tells the
bride to take it in her hand, IL she
hasn't asked for IL the very first thing.
He then tells her that the package con-
tuins $40, 900, 900 in treasury notes, all
in denomination Of $4,000 each. The
bride il delighted, Of course, and when
che goes back home she talks for weeks
about having held 100000. 900 in her
hand all at one time. The bridegroom
can't resist enjoying that same pleas
ure, and he fondles the package awhile,
and the pair go away blissful over the
experience, while the treasury vault
man tosses the package back on the
shelf and chuckles.
''Now this Is all simply gigantic
fraud ON the young people. The treas
ury at Washington does not hold that
amount of money. The bulk Of the gov
ernment money is at the subtreasury in

gay deceiver. It does contain notes to
the amount Of 100000, 900. Of the de-
nomination Of $1O,O each, but they re
not money, because they're not signed.
So instead Of having held in their hands
e2O, 900, 900 the happy couple have
fondled simply package that repre-
sented no more value than the price of
the paper and the printing OH it. 1t
may be cruel to shatter this pretty delu.

WESTON, W. Va, Mey 3.--This city
was the scene last night Of the most
fendish outrage that ever disgraced
the history of West Virginia, and
which will probably result in murder.
Some weeks ago two young women
came here from Clarksburg and took
up their abode in tie outskirts.
Their rames are Ida Duncan and
Bertha Merriman. In few days IL
became noised about that they we're
not OF good character The rumors
took on more Objectionable features,
and late last night party Of men got
together, secured a bucket OF tar and
proceeded TO the women's home 10
drive them out of the city. They
broke open the doors, heated the tar,
stripped the women ard applied II
with brushes 20 the bare bodies. Ply
sicians are doing all il their power for
the women, but there is little hope of
saving Bertha Merriman life, her
condition being terrible. Miss Dun
can may survive, but she is suffering
awful agony from the huins and the
shock she sustained. There is no defin-
ite clue to the perpetrators Of the out
rage. and no arrests have been made.
