CoUNTERFEITFRs At WORK.
Spurious silver Dollars Are Making

Their Appearance.
Counterfeit silver dollars are going the
rounds of Washington again. and the To-
cal detective force is busy trying to To-
cate the people passing them. Street
car conductors and saloons. cigar stores,
and number of smaller stores have al
ready made several complaints
1t is thought that. the counterfeiters
who succeeded about a year ago in flood
ing South Washington and a part of the
northwest with bogus coin are at work
again. One of the three who were at
work at that time was caught and con-
victed of passing counterfeit money, but
his two companions, one a Spaniard and
the other negro, escaped and have not
been heard from since.
The dollars which have been passed
during the past four or five days bear a
resemblance to those got up by the for
eigners a year ago. and it is believed that
the Spaniard and his dusky accompIice
have paid Washington another visit But
one man has been known 70 figure In the
work, however, and only a very imper-
feet description has been obtained of
him.
Washington has always been a favored
resort lot tHeSe smaller dealers IN
queer money. and they have never
found much difficulty in passing half
dollars and dollars. The capture of one
of the gang of three last year was largely
due to an accident. He went up to a
messenger boy on the street and asked
him to get dollar changed, at the same
time handing him one of the bogus coins.
The boy accidentally dropped it on the
sidewalk, when, much to his surprise, il
fattened out like a piece of lead. He
picked it up quickly. before the man
could get it, and started to look for a
policeman.
The counterfeiter ran, but the 1nessen-
ger sent a companion TO follow him and
the boy stuck so closely on his trail that
he was arrested and taken to the First
Precinct station. The secret service Of
ficials took no interest in the case but
the man was convicted and is now aerv-
ing term of imprisonment.

The only ones who look forward TO this

They have been envying bigger brothers

sisters are looking down upon them with
fine scorn at their exuberant enthusiasm.
Just watt, is the sententious advice

And the chances in most cases are
largely in favor of the big children being

discipline of school life is usually about

youngsters.
There are, of course. a great many who
look forward TO this morning when school
opens with pleasant feeling, because
they are studious little boys, whose hair
is always nicely combed and their clothes
neatly brushed, and nice white handker-
chiefs, folded very fiat, sticking out of
the upper left side pockets of their coats.
They will not so out at recess and throw
bricks at each other and enjoy real
playful time, but about the third day

PALEsTINE's POPULATION.
An Unexplained Increase Shown by
Recent Census Figures.

Recent Census Figures.
The PRONUNCIATION of an order of the
Turkish government restricting immigra-
tion into Palestine has led to inquiry as
10 what is the cause of such a measure
BY the census taken previous to the last
one-the census of 1S5s-there were 1900
OO0 inhabitants of Palestine, and the popu-
latiOn at that time was considered sta
tionary. BY the last estimate the popula-
tion of Palestine was an 900, and this
increase was shown In the large cities as
well as the country districts Ten years
ago there were 1900 residents in Jaffa;
today there are nearly $1,000. The pres
ent population of Damascus is $4,000 and
of Jerusalem 4l,0O8. Since the Russian
persecution of the Jews there has been a
large immigration into Palestine from
Russia, and the increase of population
has been further augmented by the agita-
tion of Zionism.
But TO neither cause can be ascribed an
increase so great as that shown by the
recent census figures. Turkey is not a
thickly populated country, and the OF
toman government opposes generally, so
far as its influence extends, the increase
Of the urban population. The cities of
the Turkish empire contain relatively few
Turks, and Constantinople itself, which
by the Genus of 1855 had s73,0 inhab-
itants contained only SS4, 900 Turks. The
balance was made up of Greeks, Ar
menians and other foreigners clear ma
lority of the population. The area of
Turkish Syria is loe coo square miles and
the population is most dense in the Chris
tian district of Lebanon.
