THE sEABoARD AIRLINE.

Richmond has a twOfold local interest
now in the Seaboard AIRLINE. In the
first place. Mr.. John SHELTON Williams has
become its president and controlling
spirit. and in the next we have ground
for believing that the line will be extend
ed to this city.
Mr. Williams. though young, compare
lively speaking, is not untried. lie has
been managing large enterprises for
number of years. His feat in re-
organizing the old 5. A. NJ road
and making it the Georgia and Ala
bama Company Of to-day, not only gain
al for him the presidency Of the new con-
Germ. but laid what may prove to be the
foundation for a new southern system.
That the Seaboard AIRLINE is destined
TO come here we verify believe. II IS eX-
pected that the Petersburg and Carolina
road will be extended from Petersburg TO
Richmond, and that # will then be work
cd i'm conjunction with the Seaboard adj
mits of little doubt
Furthermore. the entrance Of the Pc
tersburg and Carolina road into Rich
mond viii probably lead the way TO our
having a fine new passenger depot here.
This may not come about Immediately,
but We have faith that the trend Of
events will produce the result that our
community has so long prayed for
There are two or more good routes by
which the Seaboard may come into Rich
mond, seeking a northward outlet. by
the adoption Of either our city would be
greatly prohted and in either event we
should pretty surely have an improve
ment in passenger depot accommodations.
our people very heartily wish that great
success may attend "young Williams's"
enterprises, and that at no very remote
day we may have the pleasure Of seeing
him come up from Savannah on his spe-
cial car and ride across James river on a
fine new bridge and enter the handsomest
passenger depot in the South.
i Heaven speed the, day.

THE HANDWRITING EXPERT.

The New York police. who Tor some
weeks have apparently been strugsl"s
without success TO solve the mystery con-
nectcd with the Adams poisoning case
have had TO rely in large degree upo"
the skill OF handwriting experts. pom
the testimony Of these adopts In the ue-
lection Of forgery will depend the arrest
of several suspects, who are closer!
watched For the past fortnight 'he eA-
norris have been working day and night
and they predict that their Investigations
vu produce most startling resnl'ss DC
This ms it may. the strange case winch
now aasorbs the public attention mas
elected the most profound interest an"
oou,d Forth many comments concerning
the Identity Of manuscripts and the means
Of making comparisons along this hne.
william J. Kinsley, an expert in hand
writing. who has figured most promi-
nontIv in the investigation, asserts that
bie busiuess is one which requires the
utmost skill. lie says that he works on
lines as sure as any mathematical for
mulas. and that his peculiar ability is not
the result Of genius. but Of the mosa
scientific methods. There are three
things. he says. which the expert can
usuauv determine without fear Of con-
tradiction-the sex Of the writer. his or
her age. and the speed with which he
writes. And he adds that the faster one
writes the more difficult it is to initiate
his writing.
Mr.. Kinsley's remarks in connection
with this subject should serve as a forei-
bic plea for good penmanship. lie en-
phasizes the fact that the plain, careful
penman is the most difficult Of all per-
sons TO initiate. It is practically I'M
possible. he says, TO forge successfully
the signature Of a man who writes plain
rapid hand.
The cautious. nlegible writer, whose
manuscript bristles with angles is inyar-
ollv the easiest victim for forgers, and
his very weakness is an incentive to
crime.
These suggestions, from one who has
made a lifelong study of penmanship'
should serve as a warning TO those who
have heretofore tortured their friends and
acouaintances-to say nothing Of editors
with their badly-wrltten manuscripts.
The handwriting expert when making
an examination. has constant need for
the microscope The relative slant Of
the letters. the punctuation marks, the
dotting of the is, and the crossing Of the
rs ali afford infinite means Of identiica-
ton. ana show unmistakable signs of in
dividuality. Even the health and physi-
cal condition Of the writer nave their ef-
feet upon his manuscript, as do the
amount of pressure used on the pen and
the part Of the stroke where it is applied.

HUNTING THE $500 DIME.
enc New York Nan Says He Gnve it
tn "a Beggar.


NFyV YORK. February THE dime
for which a reward Of 500 is offered, not
for its rarity, but because of the tri-
angle and letters ON II, and which are
supposed to be cipher upon which pos
session Of a large amount Of property
turns. has not yet been recovered
II will be remembered that "a client of
Lennv x Donovan, lawyers, az 100 Broad
way. advertised a reward for the return
Of this coin. 1t was lost on January Zith
last i'm their office hy a client supposedly
picked up by "a clerk and given by MN
20 a ucwshOy or to a Broadway car con-
ductor. But if the lawyers have not re-
ceivod the coin. they have received no
end of letters. 1Js~T have had submitted
TO them at least one coin similarly mark
ed. except that there is no NJ IN the cen
tire Of the triangle. OF course, there j. Il
private mark on the dime by whch II
can be positively identified.
Thus far more than 500 letters have been
received, and the number is growing
larger each day. What has become OF
this coin is a matter OF fascinating specu-
lation. II is about as certain as any
thing can be that it passed into the hands
of a Broadway beggar. II seems certain,
too. that It was in Hazleton. Pa. by
this time the coin may be in the vaults
of "A bank with thousands OF other lO-
cent pieces. It may be IN the pocket OF
a tourist who has gone 10 Europe, ana
who may carry the dime around until he
loses il.
BY far the most interesting letter is
that of George !. Kaufman, an artist,
whose studio is in tho Alpine building.
He wrote under the date of last Tuesday:
81 had this coin i'm my possession to-
day. but l learned of its value too late
and let it 60 again. A. nearly as | can
fix il. | was given the coin i'm the Alpine
billiard-room about noon. 1t attracted
my attention because OF the peculiar did-
gram or cipher"
Then Nr. Kaufman describes it minute
~ ana draws a representation OF IT, Al
that time 10 picture of the marking on
the dime had been published, and so ac-
curate is the drawing and description OF
MT Kaufman that Mr.. Lenny Is sure
that he had the coin. Mr.. Kaufman mad

but ne had not seen the advertisement

trees. and after talking with him a lew

thanked us and went on his way.

He went into cheap restaurant on
sixth avenue. but remained there only
minute or two Then he returned 10

until we were tired.
"'Then we went 10 dinner. My friend
