ticket good for any day until the close
of the exposition, the officials of the

Gently in danger of arrest by the secret
service officers of the government. A
ticket of this kind has been called for
by manufacturers, merchants and 9TH
ers, who would purchase them in guam
titles and distribute them among
friends or patrons. Under the present
arrangements tickets are good only ON
the day of issue, and are of no use for
such distribution.
To prevent the counterfeiting of the
new ticket the work was put into the
hands of an engraver, who produced
finely engraved ticket. printed on bank
note paper, on one side of which was a
vignette of Franklin and on the other
a vignette of the late DR.. William Pep
per, the principal originator of the ex-
position. Both front and back of the
ticket bore finely engraved lathe work,
with red roSette, serial number, sig
nature of the chief of the department
of admissions. but no figures. Two
styles were made, one good for en-
trance at any time of day, and the
other good for evenings and Saturdays.

and 25 cent tickets. Both were about
the size of the old government frac-
tional currency "shinplaster, used
after the civil war.
Special Agent McManus. of the
treasury department, as soon as the
tickets were put on sale, served notice
that they were contrary to law and
must be withdrawn. The matter was
referred to the law officer of the treas
ury department, who held that they
were a violation of law, as they were Q

ton that tickets of substantially
the same style were issued for the
Chicago exposition and the Midwintel
exposition at San Francisco. In answer
TO this the treasury officials SAID
that in those cases the tickets haC
been issued by the thousands before
being discovered, and it was deemed
inadvisable to attempt to stop them.
The exposition officials at once pro
cured a new design, fully as difficult t

officials could not object. which hav'
