CURSE ON THE DOLLAR BILL.
Awful Message in Blood on Silver Ger
tificate.

tificate.
From the Philadelphia Press.
A 81 silver certificate, which bore on
its back a strange, mysterious legend
written in clear characters with red
ink reached the subtreasury in this
city yesterday When the attention
of the assistant United States treas
urer was called to the bill he promptly
redeemed it to keep as relic. The le-
gend reads as follows:
''The last one l have. Take it. You
took all the rest and with 1t my soul
May it scorch your fingers when you
touch it; may what you buy with it
damn you forever. Gods curse go
with it to you. You go the last. l
hope you are satisfied, murderess."
Besides these words on the back the
following inscription in the same ink
appears on the face:
H. X. S. to S. r. F.
On the two edges of the face are
written in small characters:
Your work is complete"
lone hour more and l will be dead!'
At the subtreasury the bill was said
to have been received from a down
town bank. The receiving teller there
of was said to have been taken sick i'm
mediately after receiving the bill. The
next point reached in the attempt to
trace the "hoodooed" piece of govern
menl paper 10 us source was the
Northwestern National bank, at Ridge
and Girard avenues. 1t was next trac-
ed back to the Tenth National bank,
Broad street and Columbia avenue
They knew the bill when they saw it
there. The paying teller of the bank
lost a valuable ring while for curios-
ity's sake he carried the bill in his
pocket and thereupon promptly return
ed it. The bill had been presented to
the bank by a stage hand of an up
| town theater He said he wanted
change if the bill was good. The tel
Ter took it, intending to keep it as a
| relic.
The stage hand was next seen. He
| said the box office clerk had given it
| to him to change. Inquiry a the box
office developed the fact that the bill
| was presented by two young women.
They came in late, bought their tickets
| and gave the bill. AS they passed in
| one of the girls turned back and said
| in laughing tone: THAT ticket has
| blood on it,"
The ticket seller who noticed nothing
peculiar about it, thought ii joke
| He did not notice the peculiar charac-
ter of the bill until counting up time
When he went home that night. it is
asserted, he found the kitchen wood
| work ablaze. The rubber feed pipe of
a gas range had burned in two and set
fire to it. When he told the mana ger
the next day the latter ordered the bill
| changed.
Although a close watch has been
kept for the young women. they have
not been seen since. Thus the search
for the origin of the mysterious legend
had to come to a sudden end. Perhaps
new light on the mystery may come
in the future.
