False Money Market.

In Paris there is a false money mar
ket where walters procure their store
of bad coins. 1t is, of course, held Sc
cretly. There is a regular traffic, and
the sharpers know exactly what they
will receive for the real money they
are prepared to invest Thus a spur
ious five-franc piece fetches from two
francs to two francs fifty confines, ac-
cording to the excellence of its imita-
ton; two-franc pieces cost from fifty
to seventy-five centimes, and one-franc
pieces twenty-five centimes. Bad gold
coins are rarely seen there. The ex-
PLANTATION of this is that, apart from
the fact that the manufacture of them
is very costly, it requires considerable
scientific knowledge, and this the Or
binary counterfeiter rarely possesses.

would she allow herself to betray her
anxiety Her heart was as heavy as
lead, yet she contrived to smile, and
kept up a cheerful flow of small talk
about the past and the future-church
affairs. The schools, the choir.
But even with this consoling COM
pany the dark winter day had seemed
long to George Caulfield. He was few
erishly expectant of news from Grand
chester, and when none came he fan
cied that his friend, his lawyer, and
the police had alike failed in their
efforts to let in light upon the mys-
terry Of that nameless girls death.
And if the day seemed long, what
of the dreary winter night, when i'm
agination, excited by strange circum-
stances and strange surroundings, con-
jured up the horrors of a criminal trial
the crowded court, every creature in
1t believing him, George Caulfeld, the
murderer of helpless girl. He saw
the chain of circumstantial evidence
frightening out link by link, and he
could have no power to sunder these
links. His lips would be sealed.
And then involuntarily there broke
from his lips cry of anguish:
"He is brought as lamb to slaugh-
ter, and as a sheep before her shear
ers is dumb, so he openeth not his
mouth"
He had spent feverish night, CIV
en- half to wakefulness, half to appal-
ling dreams. He had risen and dress
ed himself as soon as it was light, and
now he sat waiting YEARLY for some
sign from the outer world, some cheer
ing message, some word of hope. 1t
was only two days since the vicar of
Freshmead had left him, yet it SEEM

Hark! Was not that the CHEEKY
voice he knew so well, the full vibra-
ton of tones that came from powerful
lungs, the clear utterance of man ac-
customed to address multitudes? Yes,
it was Leworthy's voice, assuredly, and
that cheerful tone should belong to the
bringer of good tidings.
He sat with his hands clutching the
edge of his pallet, profoundly agitat-
ed, while the grating key turned in
the lock, and the heavy cell door NOV
ed slowly back. Then the vicar rush
ed into the cell, and grasped his hands
and laid his hand upon his forehead
in loving benediction.
God bless you, my dear boy! You
will not have long to stay in this
wretched hole! The man who brought
that poor creature to the station is
arrested; he came here by the train
I travelled in. He is now in this jail.
There will be a post-mortem to-day,
the inquest will be re-opened on Mon
day instead of on Wednesday next,
and the evidence then produced will
prove his guilt and your innocence"

Mr.. Cannon rep.) of Illinois expressed
his qualification over the election of Sen

majority and of political decency. He
did not believe. he said, that any gentle
man on the other side could rise and

Mr.. Perkins (rep.) of Iowa, reverting
to the question of seed distributions, said
he would like to see the present policy

Mr. Robinson (dem.) of Indiana, Dele

Mr. Bromwel of Ohio moved to strike
out the appropriation for general seed
distribution.

adopted.

Wadsworth moved an adjournment in
hopes of securing a reversal of the vote

CONSUL GENERAL LEE.
No Truth in the RumOr He Was Vfo-
lently Handled.

Havana, Jan. 13.-There is no truth
whatever in the rumor that United
States Consul General Lee was violently
handled during the disturbances last
night or today. During the height of
the uproar last evening he walked about
freely in Central park and in front OF
the house Ingleterra. Today he has
been attending to political business as
usual. This evening he is dining at
hotel.
About noon today a crowd gathered in
front of the offices of Ell Diario de Ia
Marina, shouting death to Diario."
Gen. Arolas used the regular troops to
restore order and to compel the disper-
sal of the crowd which kept up con-
tinuous shouting on the streets near
Central park.
These people accuse El Diario de la
Marina of being responsible for all the
attacks made upon army officers and
Spanish residents in the islands. They
say that In Discussion and Ell Recon-
centradO received their cue from FL
Diario de Ia Marina. A man selling the
latter paper was shot in the arm:
All classes commend the authorities
for avoiding unnecessary force or vio-
lence in the use of the soldiery and the

WILLIAMSON DEMOCRATS.
The Executive Committee Met and
Did Some ResOIutinr

Georgetown, Tex, Jan. 13.-(Special)
The Williamson county democratic eX-
ecutive committee held meeting here
today. County Chairman Robert A. John
presiding.
A brief open session was held, at
which were present a number of prom
inent visiting democrats and numerous
county and district candidates.
Brief talks were made. all favoring
thorough organization and reasonably
early primaries.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
recommending the nomina ton of Col. +.
T.. Roche of this place for land COM
missioner of Texas.
The committee went into executive
session. Chairman John was instructed
to call the primaries at his discretion,
not earlier than April Is.
The following resolution was unani-
mOusly adopted:
The democratic executive committee
of Williamson county hereby re-affirms
its allegiance to the last state and ma
tiOnal platform as the regular declara-
tion of the party's decision in it's courts
of last resort. We, however, congratu-
late the dissenting minority for their
loyalty in bowling to the will of an over
whelming majority.
We recognize that this difference is
only one of method and not of principle
and refers only to the manner of obtain
ing the best results from financial legis-
lation. Upon all other question the
democracy has always been and is still
united.
We further recognize that many
friends of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, who have ever cherished
the principle of Jeffersonian democracy
have heretofore acted with other organi.
cations than the democratic party. but
who are now convinced that the best as
surance of financial legislation in the
interest of the common people is in the
union of all the believers in bimetallism
upon the Chicago platform.
We therefore recommend that all per.
sons otherwise qualified be invited to par
ticipate in the ensuing democratic pri
maries of this county. regardless of past
vote of party affiliation upon making the
following declaration:
First-Thnt they are democrats.
Secondhand they will support the
nominees of the democratic party in the
ensuing election.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The house to-
day entered upon the consideration of
the agricultural bill. The bill carries 49,
,3O2, being $135,00O in excess of the
amount for the current year.
Mr.. Wadsworth (rep.) of New York,
chairman of the. agricultural committee,
explained that the increase was due to
the constantly growing demand for in
spections of meat and meat products for
export
Under the latitude allowed for debate
Mr.. Williams (dem.) of Mississippi sub
mitted an extended argument in favor of
the establishment of postal savings
bank system.
After some remarks by Mr.. Henderson
(rep.) of Iowa in support of the appro-
priation in the bill for seed distribution
and in eulogy of Secretary Wilson,
whom he described as n genuine hard
listed farmer, Mr.. De Almond (dem.) of
Missouri got the floor and submitted
somesar castle comments on The newspa
Hanna at Columbus, o. He read the
telegram sent by Mr.. Hanna to Presi-
dent Mckinley:
God reigns and the republican party
still lives"
The telegram, he said, was unique.
That God rcigned there was no room
for doubt, therefore the latter clause of
the telegram was more wonderful. With
cutting irony he proceeded to read and
comment on some of the kilograms of
congratulation sent to Mr.. Hanna from
this city, including those of President
Mckinley, Senator Hawley and others.
Commenting on the presidents tele
gram, he asked how the return of Sena-
tor Hanna to the senate could be bene-
fetal to the country save in an example
be avoided. He said that Senator
Hanna was the truest and best eXpon-
ent and representative of modern repub-
licanism.
Mr.. De Almonds remarks brought Mr..
Mahany (rep.) of New York to his feet.
In n brief but emphatic speech he replied
to the remarks of the Missourian.

pie witnessed the spectacle of the demo-
cratic party meeting in its national con-
