The secret service officers found over
ton of government paper in Kendig's
warehouse, also the Monroe head of the
500 silver certificate This was turned
over to Chief Wilkie by Kendig.
There was other pafaphernalia for
the manufacture of counterfeit 800
note and one for a $50 note. Neither
of the plates for these notes had ever
been used.
No counterfeiting case in the his
tory Of the government has given the
secret service people so much trouble
as the one just brought to focus.
The counterfeit United States silver
certificate, series of 1891, check letter
&C." portrait of James Monroe, was
first discovered at the Philadelphia
sub-treasury. So perfect was the coun-
terfeit in every detail that for long
time bankers and experts refused to
believe it was counterfeit and insist
ed it was printed from a genuine
plate. 1t was turned over to the Sc
cret service division, and after a care
full inspection it was pronounced a
counterfeit. 1t was found that the
notes had been in circulation since
June, 1897. When Chief John Wilkie
assumed charge of the secret service
division in February, 1898, he took UP
the matter and assigned the investiga-
ton to William ]. Burns, of the Wash
ington Office. Every engraver OF the
United States who was competent OF
performing the work contained on the
counterfeit certificates was placed I'M
der surveillance. The only defect in
the original counterfeit was that the
certificate notes were printed on paper
made by FASTING three pieces together
and placing the silk fibre between the
first and second pieces. To overcome
this defect the conspirators, it is al
legged, built the machinery and opened
plant for the manufacture of paper.

NEW ANAESTHETIC A SUCCESS.
Eucnine Deadens. Pain and Does Not
Poison the System.

From the New York Herald.
Great interest is being taken by ply
sicians in the successful use of eucaine,
new anaesthetic, in an operation performed
in Bellevue Hospital on Wednesday.
Not only was the new drug used with en-
tire satisfaction in a serious operation, but
the success of the experiment, / was told
yesterday, is full of promise for the future
usefulness of this new drug.
owen MCGOWAN, siXty-eight years old,
was the patient upon whom the new anaes-
thetic used. 1t was necessary for him
to undergo an operation that was risky
in itself, and that was made more so by his
advanced age. He was taken to Bellevue
Hospital suffering from an inguinal hernia,
and fear was felt that to use cocaine might
be dangerous. 1t was decided, therefore,
to try eucaine, and the test was SO sue
cessful that the patient retained full con-
seriousness during an operation that lasted
an hour, and in which he often talked with
the doctors as he watched them at work.
MCGOWAN still is in a weak condition, but
l was told at Bellevue that he was doing
well and would recover entirely in short
time.
DIR. c. Z. Pierce, one of the physicians
who assisted in the operation, told me yes
terday that the new anaeSthetic was used
in this case because it would reduce the
danger of poison to the minimum. He eX-
planned that cocaine usually used for
operations on the hand, arm, foot or other
parts of the body where measures could be
taken to prevent the drug from getting into
the patients system. But its use for OPP
erations on the trunk of the body, he add
ed, had been little attempted because of
this danger Eucaine, DR.. Pierce said,
seemed to be much better adapted for this
important line of work, as it reduced the
danger greatly.
When MCGOWAN was taken to the oper-
ating room on Wednesday eucaine was in
jected into his abdomen, and the patient
the doctors conduct the operation. During
MCGOWAN cheerily responded to the ques-
lions of the doctors, and when they asked
him at different times if he suffered any
pain he invariably answered that he did
not. He remained entirely conscious from
start to finish.
Although eucaine is a drug that has been
known for two years, l was told yeSter
day that it has been used little until re-
Gently. The new anaesthetic first was in
troduced in Bellevue Hospital, DIR. Pierce
said, about two months ago. 1t has been
used since then in minor cases, but the op-
GRAFTON on MCGOWAN was the first impor-
tant one for which it has been used there
l tried to learn wherein the new drug diff
ferS from cocaine, but several physicians
and druggists whom | asked were unable
to tell There is little difference they said
IN the properties of cocaine and eucaine,
but the latter has been found to be so
much more safe, while being equally effica-
ciouS, that its extensive use in the near
future Is generally predicted.

present mineral exploration I'm the Philip
pines, and has shown that gold is found in
a great number Of localities in the archi-
pelago, from northern Luzon to central
Mindanao. In most cases the gold is de-
tritG.l and is found either in existing water
courses or in deposits now deserted by the
current. 1t is said that in Mindanao some
of the graves are in an elevated position
and adapted to hydraulic mining. There
are no data at hand which indicate deci-
sively the value of any of the placers but
the fact that they are washed largely with
cocoanut shells for pans by the natives is
an indication of either rich deposits or quite
coarse gold. In the province of Abra. at

ers and the river Abra itself Yields aurifer

ANOTHER AMERICAN HIT.
Pabst, the Famous Milwaukee Brewer,
Places New Dark Beer on the Mar
ket Which Surpasses the Imported
Article.

When 1t became whispered about some eight
months ago that Pabst, the famous Milwaukee
brewer, proposed to get cut a new Doppelbraeu
which world surpass any beer in the world. It
naturally created great deal of curiosity not
only among other brewers, but among lovers Of
dark imported beer This Doppelbraeu, signifying
double brew, has met with such unprecedented
demand that the first brew, although large, is
nearly exhausted The second brew will shortly
be placed on the market and thereafter there will
be 10 further shortage, the brewery has taken
every precaution to keep up the supply.
This is also a great hit for American product,
and gives the palm to Pabst for producing the
best beer in the world. 1t is also important as
tending to revolutiolze the trade in imported
beer from Germany. In New York city Pabst New
Doppelbraeu has already supplanted the imported
article in many places, and loads of this
brew have been shipped to various branches.
