lighter than silk. the membrane is much

The chase after note counterfeiters in
the West has again brought the Secret
Service officials into prominence. Ii is
probable that there win be a general
roundup of bogus note-makers in the vi
cinity of Chicago before a great while.
Chief Wilkie. of the Secret Service. in
speaking on the various ways for counter
feiting. said this morning to a Times re-
porter that coins Of all kinds and denomi-
nations have been initiated by bogus money
makers. The most dangerous counterfeits
are those struck from a die and are usu-
ally limitations Of gold coins. Molds Of
various kinds are extensively used, but
counterfeits so made. said Chief Wilkie,
are much inferior 10 those made with
die. They have a fine appearance, the
lettering and milling being sharp and
clear. and the ring usually good. In some
instances they are almost perfect fac
SMILES of the genuine. They are usually
a trife short weight. however. and the
edges or reading is not so sharp and clear
as in genuine. Many OF these coins are
fun weight.
In counterfeits made from a mold let
ternig, milling and reading are usually
poor. the weight very defective. and the
coins lack the sharp and clear-cut appear
ance of the genuine.
Most counterfeit silver coins in Circu-
iation are made from molds, said Mr..
Wilkie. as il is an inexpensive form Of
counterfeiting Some fine specimens have
been produced in this way. but usually
they are much lighter than the genuine.
and if of the required weight differ in di-
ameter or thickness.
Regarding the metals used in the pro-
cess MIR. Willde said there are various
kinds Principally however. platinum,
silver. copper. brass. antimony. aluminium.
zinc. type metal. lead. and their numerous
compositions are made use Of
Among the most dangerous counterfeits
of gold are those of composition OF gold.
silver and copper. They are low grade
gold. and the acid test shows they lack the
fneness of standard gold used by the
United States mint which is 900 fine.
These counterfeits." continued Chief
Wlikie. average from 400 10 goo fine Plat
inum counterfeiJs are dangerous. as the
metal used gives the required weight. and
they are heavily gold-p plated. When they
have been in circulation for time the
plating wears off, especially on the edges.
The most dangerous counterfeit coin
is made of a composition of antimony and
lead the former metal predominating.
These counterfeits are limitations of the
dollar. have a fine appearance and are
heavily silver plated. They have fair
ring. Some are only slightly below the
standard weight. Some pieces among the
smaller coins are made of brass struck
from die and when heavily plated are
fair limitations. They lack the required
weight, however. except in few instances.
n.ra
compositions are much lighter than genu-
inc. and those having the required weight
are much too thick.
Genuine coins of all kinds. for the sake
of gain are tampered with in various
ways. These operations are confined al
most exclusively to gold coins. which are

THE THREE new CRUISERS

The board has given these ships $4,000
tons displacement twenty-three knots

.. 900 tons a steaming radius of 1000 miles.
They will be the only ships in the Navy lit
orally armored all over. their protection ex-
tending from below the waterline above the
entire superstructure. In appearance they
will mark a notable departure from exist
ing cruisers and battleships Of their class,
in that they will stand much higher out
of the water giving better distribution
of batteries and quarters and making them
most impressive. Until Congress gives the
Navy Department authority to contract for

The court and iuries. A decided public
sentiment now exists among the people
and the best merchants against this evil.
Judge A Parran Crane, in passing SEN
tence on a colored youth spoke freely on
The growth OF rowdyism in the county. He
said that as a large majority OF the erin
insl cases tried were against colored
Youths under age it was significant. Many
of them had pleaded guilty and therefore.
he said no mistake or injustice could have
been done II distressed him at all times
to impose penalties. but particularly on
the Young II was not pleasant 10 near
his native county called part OF the Black
Belt and considered almost outside OF the
control of Law and order.
He felt satisfied. be said that these col
ored hoys were not wholly responsible, as
their mothers and fathers were In a large
measure blamable. He felt called upon TO
appeal TO the older heads. These boys
,bough having parents were out OF their

worked. Parents should keep their chill
dren under their control. III WORK coulu
not be found al home they should hlre

do and at the same time provide them
with clothes and other necessary com
forts
The law. said the Judge is ample and
he courts willing and able to enforce
proper control of parents over their chill
dren: but. he said. it was best not TO wait
for the courts but TO use the birch and
hickory. which were in active use when he
was a boy in his own and nearly every
well-regulated family. Though no one
could accuse him of being harsh. Judge
Crane said he believed the rod could be
used with good effect, if used in reason,
and it was a piece of furniture that his
rolored friends should not overlook as a
means of discipline
There being no very serious crimes
charged or committed in the county he
had ever reason to hope and believe the
colored youths by proper home training
