SPURIOUS COIN IN COLUMBUS.

Columbus Ledger: There has been a
deal of spurious coin circulating in the
city for the past few days and so skill
fully have the counterfeiters created their
worthless money and so exact is their coin
a facsimile of the dollar. that some of the
good people of Columbus have been COM
pletely duped. The money is an exact fac
simile of the silver dollar and nickel

Columbian head. the letters, date and even
the arrow heads being fully brought out.

Submerged Cigars Recovered.
From the London Express-

Private advices to a London tobacco deal
er give the information that some 1000 Of
the costly cigars shipped for the use OF the
Duke Of Cornwall and his suite while In
Canada have been recovered from the hull
of the wrecked liner Lusitania, on the east
coast of Newfoundland. In all 10000 Of the
highest class cigars intended for royal use
were on the Lusftania, packed In hermet-
ically sealed cases. They were consigned
to the citadel at Quebec. to await the ar
rival Of the Ophir. Each cigar was valued
at 3 shillings. SO choice were the costly
smokes that, In case the crew might
break open the cases. they were packed in
the extreme stern of the ship, and bolted in
behind heavy plankinS.
When 1t became known to the islanders
that the dukes cigars were part Of the
Lusitanias cargo a patrol was established
to search for boxes on the beach All the
smokers on the island reveled in dreams of
3-shilling cigars without stint. Spectators
wanted them also. But their dreams came
to nothing. Divers, after ten weeks work,
have now got at the cigars. and, according
to the cable have saved 1000 in good con-
dition. The other 1900 were washed out Of
the wreck. Meanwhile. however, the duke 8

California PIunas,

From the London Expre8s.
The California plums now on the London
market supply q badly needed object lesson
to the English fruit grower on the impor-
tant subject of packing. Although they
have Travelled several thousands Of miles by
rail, and an equal distance by water. these
plums arrive In perfect bloom and condi-
ton, rivaling every other fruit on the des-
sert table. So particular are the foreign
growers about this point that large num-
bers Of expert pickers and packers are con-
tinually employed, and move about all over
the country In the wake Of the fruit har-
vest. In England, on the other hand the
very best of the dessert fruit is often inn
properly picked, and is never wrapped up at
all, but just put into baskets in which there
Is no protection against the uneven wicker
work, and the only cover of which consists
of a wisp of straw held down by a couple
of sticks. The consequence Is that a large
percentage of the fruit arrives damaged.
and the grower loses d per cent on account
Of the appearance of his plums or pears.
