Chicago the other day when the Roeke-

Chief Wilkie of the secret service
has discovered a new use for a we'll
known instrument of civil engineer
ing, the transit, which is a sort OF
spyglass ON stills. While a govern
ment employe was at work on the new
federal building in San Francisco he
noticed that man was bringing some
thing small to a window frequently in
a building about 200 yards away.
Bringing a transit into play the OBJ
server convinced himself that the man
was at work on bogus money. A Sc
cret-service detective was summoned
and he peeked through the transit.
Then he went over and arrested the
man for counterfeiting, making what
Chief Wilkie regards as a most i'm
portant capture.

Under the stress of the heavy pur-
chases being made by the syndicate the
stock of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul road advanced yesterday from
$145.62 to $152.25 share. Brokers
were overwhelmed with buying orders,
and as it became apparent that they
were coming from men on the inside
of the deal the speculative element
took a hand in running up the price
and the short interests were squeezed
to the wall.

Henry Should Be Content.
Duke Henry, who has just left Hol-
land in disgust at his treatment by
the Dutch States General. should put
curb on his bad temper. He is cha
grined because the grant of $4,000 a
year for his personal support was not
paid without a dissenting voice and
because he was refused the title of
Prince Consort. So far as the money
is concerned the Dutch are famous as
a thrifty people, and Duke Henry
should be thankful that the grant
was passed at all, instead of sulking
because a few members made objec-
tions. On the whole, Duke Henry is
one of the luckiest young men alive
and has no reason to rail at fate. With
In month he is to marry the most
charming and beautiful of girl queens,
who is evidently much in love with
him. That should be sufficient to make
him happy in spite of a few imaginary
sights. If he carries his fit of pique
too far it may be that Wilhelmina may
exercise the privilege of every woman
and change her royal mind about the
advisability of wedding a man who
sulks. In that case there will be a
hundred Princelings ready to take his
place, to say nothing of any number
of American gentlemen who have been
somewhat handicapped heretofore by
the fact that they did not happen to
be German dukes.

With the first day of the new CEN
fury the federation of all the Austria
liam colonies was formally completed
by the swearing in of the Earl OF
Hopetoun as the first governor general
of the Australian commonwealth. The
peaceful organizing of what might be
called the United States OF Australia
has attracted little attention in the
outside world, but there is every reason
to believe that long before the compile
ton of the new century the Australian
commonwealth will not only be the
dominant power in the south Pacific
but also one of the great powers of the
world. The advent of the new era
of a united Australian is something
that may well be looked upon with
lively interest by the American re-
public.

Perhaps the cleverest scheme ever
put together for evading custom house
duties and practically smuggling goods
into the country has been brought to
light by the death of an old French
man in Indiana. When he came here
he was one of the poorest in the coun-
try, and when he died he was one of
the wealthiest. His name was Pierre
J. D'Heur, and he laid the foundation
OF his fortune in this way: He had a
friend in great glove factory in
France, and had him send thousands
of pairs of the best gloves in two con-
signments, one to New Orleans and
one to New York. When the New Or
leans consignment was opened it was
found to contain only left hand gloves,
and D'Heur refused it. Later the
consignment was put up at auction and
D'Heur bought it for a mere nothing.
Then came the New York consignment
which. oddly enough, contained only
right hand gloves, which were also
refused by D'Heur on account OF the
mistake" and also afterward bought
by him at public auction, thus escap-
ing the payment of any duty
