The young man. having practically fin
ished his luncheon. rose with an insolent
sneer.
Well uncle" he said, IN see you
some time when there are not SO many
people around, and we'll even things up.
You can say the rest of it to the walters"
sit right down again, sir. I've not
quite finished with you. You won't! II
you don't take that chair again in hve
seconds I'll point you out to everybody in
this eating house-and I've got voice that
developed and strengthened itself by call
ing pigs when l was a farmers boy in
the valley Of the Wabash. Times up.
That's right. l was certain you would
think better OF II.
Now. don't you move till I've finished
what have to say to you, or I'll lift the
voice I've been telling you about. I've go,
no particular grudge against you. young
man. aside from the feelings and senti-
ments l entertain toward the whole race
of mashers. but it's a relief to my mind
to have a chance to tell one of them what
a pitifui skunk he is. It's not likely TO do
you any permanent good. There are some
animals that can't be reformed. / have

You will probably go on as you are do

changing your nature that am giving my
time to you just now, but 10 make it a
little less disagreeable for the man who
may happen to sit opposite to you when
you are coming here to feed again.
Perhaps you won't talk so much about
your North Side girl and your South Side
girl next time II you don't ii will be
distinct gain. and my time will not have
gone utterly to waste. Take a good look
at me. so you will know me when next

Several persons apparently had begun to
catch the drift of the conversation. and the
young men did not wait They slid quietly
out, and the unprofessional reformer VINO is

Two women Claim n Dead Man.

Waterloo, Iowa. May 31.-Two women
are claiming the body of Edwin ]. Barker.
who was killed in the wreck on the Bur-
lington. Cedar Rapids and Northern Rail-
road near here Sunday morning. One Of
the claimants was Mrs. L. j. Barker. the
widow OF the dead woman. and she is now
on her wav from Hot Springs. Ark. to take
charge of the remains. The other claim
ant is Miss Ida Shadville, Of Neihart,
Mont. who arrived here last night. She
declares that Barker was TO have met her
in Minneapolis Sunday and they were to
have been married there. Her story Is
borne out by the dead mans actions on the
day preceding the wreck. Barker gave the
porter a telegram Saturday evening to
send to Miss Shadviiie at the Nicoilet Ho-
tel. Minneapolis. and the young woman had
Barkers photograph and ring which
she says he gave her. Mrs. Barker does not
know Of her husbands dual nature.

BOGUS DOLLARS ON
TIE PACIFIC COAST
Clever COunterfeiters Not Yet
Apprehended.
The Silver Coins Widely Circulated
in California.
. Made From Genuine Metal and Cal
cuIated to Deceive All Bat
the Expert.

The attention OF Chief Wilkie. Of the
Government Secret Service, was today di-
rected by Times reporter to the follow
ing despatch from San Francisco:
California and the entire coast is be-
ing flooded with dangerous counterfeit sill
yer dollars which have the true ring and
correct weight. Only an expert would no
tice that the figures in the dates 1888. 1894.
1895 and 1899 are a trifie narrower than In
the genuine. that the wreath around the
eagle is broken and the nose OF the lib
erty is no, clearly defined. The color Is
also a trifie of. Secret Service agents have
vainly tried to locate the counterfeiters.
In commenting on the case Mr.. Wiikie
said that it was hardly fair to say that the
Pacific Coast was flooded with counterfeit
silver dollars. although the circulation OF
spurious coin in that section was greater
than in any other. This is due" added
the Secret Service Chief, Ito the great
abundance of silver on the Pacific Coast
1t is a well-known fact that large num-
ber Of the counterfeiters are making coins
from the genuine metal and that II is very
hard for the inexperienced to detect the
fraud. The coin has the true ring and is
L
as full as in the genuine.
THE dollar counterfeit made on the Pa
cific Coast is manufactured by what Is
known as the hot die process. The I'M
preston from a genuine dollar is made on
a piece of hot steel. This is then used as
q mould for. making the counterfeit Al
though the coin may have the correct
weight and the design be apparently per
feet, the figures are never brought Out III
as hold relief as in the genuine dollar.
Several of the dollars made by the not
die process were shown the- reporter. and
they would easily pass for the genuine
except on the closest inspection. When
asked what steps were being taken TO ap-
prehend the offenders Mr.. Wilkie replied:
sOf course efforts are being made to locate
the guilty parties. as is always the case
when . counterfeit makes its appearance.
Mr. Wilkie declared that the situation
was not at all alarming, and that the sto-
ries of wholesale counterie!tips had been
greatly exaggerated.
He stated, however, that the banks along
the Pacific Coast received on an average
OF from three to four of the spurious silver
dollars day. This it would seem, indi-
Gates quite a large circulation of the coin
and Secret Service officials are laboring
earnestly to apprehend the offenders. BY
using the genuine silver the counterfeiters
are enabled to make at least 40 cents on
each dollar.
