HALLOWEEN FRANKS
EVERYTHING WAS TURNED IOpSY
IURVY LAST NIGHT.
Rmdli Boys Took Strange Liberty
Peoples Property. and In
SOM Cases They Came Neer Get
tinq Into Trouble.

! SpookS and hobgoblinS galore Were
abroad in the city last night and they
are responsible for all manner OF
pranks that We're played on the unsus-
pecting inhabitants while they slum-
! bered.
The most remarkable things happen
ed all over town and the police were
| utterly powerleSS to deal with the
! powers of darkness and check their
ravages. They could not even discov-
er the perpetrators. 1t is true that
| when a rock was thrown through the
window of the restaurant. scattering
| fragments of glass on the floor a big
| policeman gave chase and was almost
convinced that some human agency
| was responsible for the deed when a
wild shout and hooking peal of
laughter floated back to him from the
| darkness and he distinctly heard the
patter of the many feet in flight as if
a dozen or more small boys were in full
retreat. That is as near as anyone got
toward solving the mystery, but at
dayoreak this morning it was evident
that supernatural powers had been at
work during the night for gates and
signboards had completely disappear
ca CT been exchanged and il some PA
ces fences of ladders. saw horses. and
shingles had been built across the
streets
The police attribute the whole thing
to small boys and the Herald's police
reporter naturally takes the same view
of the situation and the following ac-
count of the trouble was handed in
by him this morning:
The police were kept busy last night
answering telephone calls from all over
town where the young boys were MAX
ing life miserable for the inhabitants
by their mischief Policeman Barrett
ran himself sick and had to call a ply
stefan. who remained with him all
night.
I ne most damage so far reported was
done at the Franklin school house on
Leon street wher a great many win
dows were broken.
All over town gates We're taken off
and hidden and where new buildings
are going up the boys would build
fences across the street with the lad
ders and lumber.
There came near being a fire in a
Chinese laundry on St. Louis street
when some boys threw a stone through
a window and knocked lamp over.
At the Phoenix hotel n stone was
thrown through a window and hit

The Little NSIIdno,~er.

The little wildhowers 10 sleep have gone.
Way down In their coy beds:
A thick brown blanket Of leaves they've drawn
Right over their little heads
For well they know cold weather's about
The time when Jack Frost appears
And that some night. II they don't watch out
He'll come and bite on their ears.
They know that his partner. Mr.. Snow,
Will also in time be due.
For old Mother Nature told them -.
And they know that il be true.
So. tightly tucked in their beds they lie
And laugh, in their dreams fair.
To think that neither. in passing by,
VIII be able to find them there.
The little Wildhowers tired of play,
And weary of field and sun:
The birds and the bees have gone away
The song of the rain is done.
10 now they nod their beds OF sod,
While winter winds DER them sing.
and sleep 30 deep, knowing well that God
Will awaken Them in the spring.

RELEASING THE GOLD.
Beneficial Eject of the Refundsng of
Two Per Cent Bonds.


The Treasury Department has refunded
over $4,000, coo of the old 2 per cent
bonds on which interest ceased August IS,
The total amount of bonds outstanding was
a little more than $25, C00.C0Q. so that over
half has been repaid. Settlements are be-
ing made by the Government in gold when
ever the holders so desire.
FinancieTs are much pleased that the re-
funding CT the issue has come just at this
time. For some weeks past the gold stock
of the Treasury has steadily been incFeas-
inS, with the result that the amount OF the
yellow metal in circulation has been cut
down in the same ratio. Added to that
the shipments CT gold to Europe have tend
ed to reduce the current supply in this
country. The movement of the wheat crop
is now we'll under way, and cotton is like
wise commencing to start for the coast.
As a consequence there is a healthful de-
mand for gold, and the payment of the
bonds by the Government has added con-
sideTably to the stock Of it in the hands
of business men. AS the bonds were large
~ held by national banks and were de
posted with the Treasury as a basis for
circulation the money goes directly into
commercial channels.

Rumors of another fight between the
great sugar and coffee trusts are atfoat in
financial circles in f Street.
Both the Arbuckies and the American Su-
gar Refinery have made big cuts in the
prices of their package coffees, and it IS
said in some trade quarters that this pre-
sages a similar reduction in the price OF
sugars. and perhaps a return to the vicious
war of prices that gave the public 5-cent
sugar a year ago Officially however, the
cut in coffee prices is ascribed wholly to
trade conditions, the desire TO move an
overs apply, and it is denied that any war
is in contemplation. Many people IN the
trade also take this view.
The ArbuckIes have taken the more as-
gressiye steps, as they have not only made
the same cut in the price list as the Wool
son Company, the trusts coffee concern,
but offered an additional rebate besides.
This rebate was. in fact, the opening shot
of the cross fire of price reductions 1t
was an offer to all the old customers OF
Arbuckle Brothers who should purchase
from the house 10 per cent more coffee in
the year ending July l, 1901, than they
had purchased in the year ended July l,
1860. of special reduction Of half a cent
pound. This bid for added business was
promptly met by the Woolson Spice Com
pany by an open and unconditional cut of
half a cent q pound on all grades OF coffee.
The Arbuckles, in a circular letter to
customers, then announced an open and
uncondi.i onal cut of half cent also, eff
fective Monday, august 20. This brings
their Ariosa coffee, for instance. from
1912 to 10 cents pound. It calls for a
| cent a pound more than the sugar trust g
! Lion coffee. as the ArbuckleS kept their
special rebate in force also, their conees-
sion is, Of course, more comprehensive
| than is that Of the Woolson Spice Com
| pany.
| James N Jarvie, of ArbuckIe Brothers,
| denied, however, yesterday that the cut
! had any relation to the sugar situation. 4
| am surprised that the matter attracts SO
much attention he said for the cut is
| due solely to trade conditions. 1t is made
| TO move coffee and does not indicate re-
newal of trade hostilities.
The control OF the Wooison Spice Com
pany was obtained by the sugar trust at
/ the time when the Arbuckles, who had
been prominent simply as coffee roasters,
decided TO go into the business of refining
sugar. and the object in getting it was TO
enable the American Sugar Refining Com
/ pany to meet their new rivals on all points.
/ A fight in coffee Is therefore considered in
| the trade TO have a bearing on the sugar
/ situation in all eases. At the same time
cuts are often announced in both staples
| merely as a result OF dull markets, and
many now believe that the eombatants in
| these lines have thoroughly decided 10 lay

FOR MAKING BAD MONEY.
Alleged counterfeitcr Now on Trial
in PnIlEdeIDhic


PHILA pELPHIA, Aug. 22.-Bartholo-
new Ruelfo. the alleged counterfeiter.
who was arrested by Secret Service oper-
atiyes on July %, was placed on trial
yesterday before Judge Mcpherson in the
United States District Court. Both pros
ecution and defence concluded their pre-
sentation of evidence, and the case viii
be given to the jury this morning.
Ruelio is said TO have been in the eoun-
terfeitings business for more than fifteen
years, but the Secret Service operatives
have nevaf been successful in securing
sufficient evidence to convict him
He is said 10 have been engaged in
counterfeiting in Italy before he came to
this country. and he was first arrested
here IN 1891 on the charge OF passing q
counterfeit s. bill. but the evidence was
net sufficient to warrant his conviction.
Soon after his aequittal RueIlo came to
this city In q little TCCm in the rear Of
719 Christian street it is alleged that he
| bean the manufacture of spurious coins.
The metal which he used resembIed silver
so closely and the coins he is alleged TO
have made were executed with such skill
that the c0ERterfeits were exceedingly
dangerous.
Under direction Of Captain Burns, Sc
eret. Service Operatives Griffin and Peeke
maintained a close surveillance over the
suspected Italian and finally obtained the
evidence on which he was arrested. Hay-
ing secured RueiIO. search was imme-
diateiy made of the room he occupied at
719 Christian Street with the result that
a complete counterfeiting outfit was cap
tured.
The prisoner was represented by
William A. Davis. while the Govern
menl's case was conducted by United
States District Attorney Holland. Amos
Tucker who is under arrest, testified that
he and the italian passed a number OF
counterfeit dollars. He intimated that the
reason he informed On Ruello was be-
| cause he was in prison a month before
RueEo was arrested and he had not beer
sent any money or lawyer, although he
had written to RueIlo to procure hin
| both.
| William Ruello. a young son of the pris-
| oner, was called to the stand by the at
| torney for the defence and testified thai
| the co5rpterfeiting outfit belonged to him
He claimed 10 use the apparatus as
| plaything.
Ruello said that he was in Chester OF
! legged to have accompanied Tucker II
| West Philadelphia to pass counterfeits
| He said he went to Chester 20 escape ar
! rest at the instance of his wife, whom h
| had beaten in quarrel.
