NEW COUNTERFEIT OUT.
Clever Penmnn Raising one-Douar
Bills to Fives

Secret Service officials are at work to
discover the source of some bogus five
dollar bills that have come TO light in the
past week. The bills are the work Of an
exceptionally clever penman, whose ehfet
fault is a lack of grammat atica1 learning
He has raised one-doIIar certificates to
the denomination OF the five by substitut-
ing the higher numeral wherever the
one had been used. A bit of careless
ness, however, has spoiled his plans for
he has neglected TO give the plural form
10 dollar"
The first Of the bogus bills was received
at the Philadelphia b-Treasury about
week ago and the second came in yester-
day.
The eounterfeiter, however. has hardly
been able to make more than ordinary
wages out of his criminal industry. There
Is an Immense amount of work III going
over one-dollar bill with a pen to alter
1t TO the denomination of S.. The work
must be done with great care and a skilled
form OF ability is necessary. The bills
that have thus been altered are of the
series of 1891. The notes at present be-
ing issued by the Government would not
permit of such ready counterfeiting
distinct symbol Is row given to each de-
nomination of the notes printed for the
Government at the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. Thus the one-dollar s;Iysr
certificates bear an eagle in the middle ,Jf
The face; an Indian head is the symbo!
OF the 1ve-dollar bills. Thus no matter
What alterations may be made in the fig
Gres on the one-dollar certificates it is
readily recognizable at its real worth by
the eagle in the centre. The same thing Is
true OF the fiye-dollar bill with the Indian
head. Treasury officials hope to educate
the public so that the picture symbol in
stead of the number viii come to be look
ed for in examining bills casually.
The Government has diseon tinued the
high art notes that were in use four
years ago. They were so Involved and fun
of detail that all boldness and characters
tic significance was lost They lent them
selves readily 10 being raised and on that
account were in disfavor with Secret Serv-
ice officials

NEW YORK zILL RIGHT.

The Republicans of New York and
of the country couldn't ask anything
better than what happened in the New
York Democratic convention. Croker
bossed the convention and secured the
nomination of Stanchfield on a plat
form which grotesquely contains
denunciation of the ice trust. Hill was
defeated, but while being defeated he
managed to call public attention to
Croker and Crokerism in an effective
way.
If the Democrats of New York had a
chance to carry the State, and they
probably hadn't, Croker has thrown it
away There is a fine row on and
while the Democrats are falling out the
Republicans will fall in. Candidate
Bryan will read the news from New
York this morning with unmingled feel

A very interesting suit is now on
trial in the District of Columbia court
and it is expected to result in legal
opinion on the question whether or not
this government is at war in the Phil
ippines. Some months ago five volun-
teer officers at Manila were tried by
court martial on charges of drunken
ness and other misdoings. They were
sentenced to dismissal by the court,
and General Otis approved the finding,
thus exercising a privilege that is only
invested in the President, except dur
ing times of war. The administration
has never acknowledged that war ex-
lists in the Philippines, always terming
it rebellion and Instruction. In order
to e1nbarrass the President, ii was de-
termined to take the court martial cases
into court and endeavor to force some
action by the President. A suit was
accordingly begun in Washington for
the issuance of writ of mandamus.

The leaders of the United Mine
Workers have taken the great RESPONSE
bility Of ordering a strike. Some of
their demands seem to be reasonable,
but If their strike turns out to be rea-
sonable it will be surprising. They ex-
pect to succeed in calling out" about
las, 900 men, and it is figured that If
they can make a general strike the loss
in wages will be $4,000 900 a month.
The organization has, it is said, about
81, 100000 with which to conduct the
strike.
Perhaps the strike will not be so
great as 1t has been planned to be, but
it will probably result in considerable
trouble and loss. There has been some
queer talk about the way in which it
has been brought about, but the fact
that 1t is on is plain. 1t is to be hoped
that 1t will not be q savage and bloody
affair. This country has trouble enough
on its hands now.

HIS FATHERS BURGLAR DOG.


Jerome X. Jerome Tells About Scheme
for Household Protection.
A great many burglaries had lately
taken place in our neighborhood and
father came to the conclusion that 1t
was time he bought dog He thought
a bulldog would be the best for his pur-
pose. so he purchased the most savage
and Misunderstanding specimen that
he could find
My mother was alarmed when she
saw the dog. surely you're not going
to let that brute loose about the house!'
she exclaimed Hell kill somebody.
can see it in his face"
II want to kill somebody" replied
ia Their; II want him to kill burglars"
II don't like to hear you talk like
that. Thomas" answered mother. ITS
not like you. We've a right to protect
our property, but we've no right to take
fellow human creatures life.
"Our fellow human creatures will be
all right so long as they don't come
into our kitchen when they've no bus
mess there" retorted my father some
what testify. Tim going to fix up this
dog in the scullery, and if burglar
comes fooling around-well that's his
affair"
The old folks duarrelled on and off
for about a month over this dog. The
dad thought the mater absurdley senti-
mental, and the mater thought the dad
unnecessarily vindictive. Meanwhile
the dog grew more ferocous looking
every day.
One night my mother woke my father
UP with Thomas, there's a burglar
down stairs, Tn positive | distinctly
heard the kitchen door open.''
ooh, we'll, the dogs got him by now
then" murmured my father, who had
heard nothing and was sleepy.
Thomas" replied my mother severe
~. I'm not going to lie here while q
fellow creature is being murdered by a
savage beast II you wont so down and
save that mans life l will
ooh, BOTHER" said my father prepar
ing to get up. You've always fancyiHg
you hear noises. believe that's all
you women come to bed for-to sit up
and listen for burglars" Just to salts
fly her, however, he pulled on his trous-
ers and socks and went down.
Well, sure enough, my mother was
right this time. There was a burglar
in the house. The pantry window stood
open, and a light was shining in the
kitchen. My father crept softly for
ward and peeped through the partly
open door. There sat the burglar eat
ing cold beef and pickles, and there,
beside him, on the floor, gazing up into
his face with a blood-curdling smile OF
affection, sat that idiot of dog, Wagg
ing his tail.

A SENSIBLE MOVE.

Can the negro be successful as cot
this question in the affirmative Is to be
made by the North Texas Colored Fair
and Cotton Exposition Association, and
race feeling and charity may overcome
the difficulties which were bar else
where. Just now the association is
having its fair in Dallas, 1t Is negro
undertaking throughout The grounds
have been purchased the buildings
erected and decorated and the whole en-
terprise put on foot without the aid OF
dollar from a white man or the en-
nloyment of a white man in the work
of design or construction. The general
purpose Of the exposition, as explained
by the Dallas News, is ito excite in the
negro, whether he lives in the country
or in town, a greater interest in the
work Of producing and manufacturing
cotton. The promoters of the enter
prise believe there is in the cotton-patch
| and in the cotton-factory plenty of
room for every negro in this country,
and that opportunities may be found in
| this line which will not excite any seri-
| Gus competition or antagonism between
| the races" No support is asked of the
white citizens for the cotton mill pro-
| iect, but it is said to have their hearty
| sympathy
| The negro has already been fairly
| successful as q cotton grower, and it
will be surprising il 1t isn't discovered
| that he can also take part in manufao-
turing cotton goods. The Texas plan Is
| a sensible one.
