Philadelphia, April 20.-Arthur Tay-
lor and Baldwin s. Bredell, engravers,
who were arrested in this city in con-
nection with the counterfeiting con.
Rpiracy unearthed by the secret SER
vice department, were arraigned be-
fore Commissioner Edmunds yester-
day, waived a hearing, and were held
In $4,000 bail each for court.
John f. Willlie, chief of the secret
service, testified as to the facts of the
arrests. In the work room of Taylor
ard Bredell's place were two engrav.
ing desks. Under Bredell's table, he
said, there was a drawer in which were
found two unfinished counterfeit Gig.
arctic stamp plates. The detectives
also found $50 silver certificate plate,
and under a machine in another part
of the room was discovered proof OF
the back of a $50 note. Will1ie testi.
fled that both Taylor and Bredell
showed an inclination to assist tho
secret service men in arresting the
others implicated in the conspiracy.
Taylor informed him that w. NJ.
jacobs, the Lancaster cigar manufac-
turer, who was arrested, approached
him nearly five years ago with a prop
osition, which he accepted, to engrave
cigar stamp plates. For this work
Jacobs paid him several thousand dol
lars. When the first set wore out Tay-
lor made another. Taylor and Bredell
had admitted cutting the plate from
which the famous 800 Monroe head
certificate was made. This plate was
seized at Kendig's cigar factory in
Lancaster. Taylor told Wilkie that
not over 10000 of the 500 certificates
had been issued by himself and Bred
ell. lie could not say how many rev.
enue stamps were printed in Jacobs
factory. ..
Washington, April 21.-The officials
of ithe internal revenue bureau are
unable to even approximate the amount
of the counterfeit revenue stamps
made use of by the cigar manufacture
ers' of Lancaster, Pa, who were ar
rested on Wednesday. 4 special rev
enue agent from Philadelphia is nov
in charge of the factories, and as soon
as possible will locate the supply of
blue paper from which the stamps
were printed. the evidence against
the men arrested is said to be over
whelming. The maximum term of inn
prisonment in such cases is IS years
under each indictment, and in most OF
the cases the secret service agent
thinks at least four indictments will
be sustained by the court.

Living Is very high in the national cap

months. short ones are also expensive.

Good Action by Council.

The action Of the Hrst branch OF the

night, will meet with falr-mlnded pub
lie approval in general. The petition
ing company. evidently suspecting that
the sentiment was against the ordl-
nance, sent word to postpone the action,
but this proposition was substituted by
a motion to reject altogether and 1t was
done. The lack Of requirements, point
ed out so often by the Intelllgencer,
that would place a new company on
equal terms with those voluntarily as
sumed by the Central District and

fate of the bill.
The council deserves the commenda-

chises that offer no real benefit to the
community. that do not guarantee
equal facilities to those OF the company

promise no cheaper rates, and comply
with no demands that will warrant
proper consideration, are not good
things to grant by any municipality,

A strike with some very peculiar fea-
lures prevails in the office Of the New
York sun; possibly nothing like 1t has
occurred before in any branch Of bust
ness. 1t began through the use Of GER
tain type setting machines and has ex-
tended to all mechanical departments
Of the Sun Office. SO serious is 1t that
the SUMS Sunday issue was simply a
four.page news section, instead OF the
usual twelve pages. 1t grew out OF the
SUMS employment Of monotype type
setting machines, which cast and set
movable type, and the union men say
that the Sun wishes to employ a man
and boy at each machine; one man
cannot run 1t, while the rule of the
union does not permit the employment
of more than six apprentices in any one
office, nor allow them to handle type in
the actual making OF the paper.
The matter is attracting u great deal
of attention on account of Its peculiar
features. and in an editorial statement
in Mondays Sun is given that papers
position under the title, NO Fetters to
Fit the Sun" In the article 1t is stated
that a number Of machinIsts were en-
ployed In one Of the mechanical depart
ments OF the Sun, and 1t was their duty
to attend to certain machines which
cast type automatically. Their work
was purely that Of mechanics and could
be performed by mechanics only. The
representative Of the union served no.

Dewey's Ambition OF Years,

An interesting bit of history. hereto
fore not generally known. published in
connection with Admiral Dewey and
Manila, is unearthed incident to his
home coming. It is regarded as a
strange historical discovery in the
navy department that the admiral. as
long as twenty-five years ago. wanted
to capture the Spanish capital of the
Philippines. IN connection with the vir-
ginius controversy, which threatened
war with Spain. This bit of discovery
plainly shows that Dewey accomplish
ed, on May, Day, 1898, what he recon-
mended in March. 1873. AS on the for
mer date. in 1873, Dewey was in the
AsiatIc squadron, being in command of
the United States steamship Narrngan-
sett. It now develops In the files at the
navy department that, when the famous
Vlrginlus matter arose. Dewey wrote
to Washington requesting that, II war
arose with Spain. he be assigned to the
duty Of capturing Manila. a Washing
ton special in the Pittsburgh Dispatch
states that the settlement OF the Vir-
ginius case prevented his desire from
being graufied. but the fact remains
that quarter of century ago our
great naval hero had his eye on Manila,
Consequently last year, when he per-
formed his unparalleled feat, he graft
fed his ambition of so long ago.
This discovery will add some to
Dewey's glory as a fore-slghted dlplo-
mat. In that day he recognized the
value Of the Philippines to his coun-
try; he realized as forcIbly then as he
did twenty-five years later the blow
that such a sally would be to Spain
the enemy. Spain may realize, II II
hears Of this. how It might have been
spared a very great humiliation had it
settled the Cuban matter and the Maine
affair as It did the VlrglnIus tragedy
As a figure in the two Incidents, a
quarter Of century apart, Dewey
looms up rs n chief actor In two great
and historic dramas.

Kennebec Journal: There are more
old fashioned clocks around than people
would think" says an Augusta man
who makes speciality of repairing
them. Most OF those with the wood
en- works are of American make,
think. 1t must have been expensive
to import clocks with brass move
ments In those early days, and the In
genIous Yankees set to work to make
their own clocks from wood. Most of
them are made from the apple tree, and
with only a brass scape wheel and iron
wires. They are not SO different from
the clocks made nowadays. and they
can be repaired and Will readily keep
excellent time.
"The principal thing to do in repair
ing them is to put new teeth in the
wooden wheels where they have been
worn or been broken OF. Those are
dovetailed in and then fled into shape,
and the clock is as good as new. Then
again, the holes In the wooden backs
are worn and brass bushings are put
in.

There is always a demand In the
market for the old clocks, and l know

genuine. One would be more apt to
ind the works genuine than the case.
They must be in good condition when
the case has been broken and battered

new clocks TO sell as old ones. There
is not large number Of them sold, and

and then sell several. When you come
to think Of 1t 1t is not SO strange that
there are so many genuine old clocks
to be found. II in the early days each

good stock for the people who care for
them.
