TREASURY METHOD Oh
DETECTING BAD MONEY
Counterfeit Bills Recognized
by Touch.
Sorting Underweight Coins-Tests Part
of the Examination for
Clerkships.

The question of how best to handle
money in order to detect eounterfeits and
mutilated and lightweight coins to in
sure accuracy In count and leave the
mind at rest regarding totals and gen
eral results. has become Of first i'm
portance in the Treasury and subtreas-
ury clerkships. The United States Civil
Service Commission has recognized this
fact and has added a money counting
test to the examinations for this branch
OF the Government.
1t is reported that at the recent ex-
Gminations in Chicago ten persons took
turns in Treasurer Williams office
counting 1884 in coin and 500 9,544 in mix
ed bills, looking out at the same time
for worn and mutilated coins and for
oounterfelts both among the coin and
bills. Each Of the candidates had at
least two years experience in handling
money, but some made low grades in

other hand. while there is little for
them to gain by a strike. many have not
the courage to remain at work.
Sending Men Away.
Vice President Adam Ruscavage, OF
the first district. after receiving reports
from all parts Of the region, announced
today that since the strike began two
weeks ago. $4,000 men have left the re-

country.
Ruscavage declares the Lykens drift
and the Morris drift in Sullivan county

permission Of the union. but IL the re-
gion is tied up by the firemen. pump

Long Practice Gives Confidence.

1t Is stated by those who know that
rot till the handler of money has by
long practice acquired self-confdence
enough to handle thousands as II they
we're but pieces devoid Of value does he
develop the highest capacity. Then. al
most by intuition does he pick out a
counterfeit without knowing why, and
recognizes a mutilated coin at a glance
Ii is doubtful II money teller could
explain Just why he stops in a rapid
count TO lay aside counterfeit piece of
silver. He simply does it before he
thinks. He has other and genuine pieces
lying beside 1t on the table, but he
makes no definite comparison.
In counting coins us they come from
the banks, sorted according to denomi-
nations, al expert working five hours
cannot count and sort more than so 900
silver dollars. He will count So. 900
in half dollars. throwing an average OF
800 coins out of each 1000. OF old quar-
ters. he can count 10000 a day, finding
only $50 to 300 in each thousand that
are good enough TO b. reissued. He
will count $4,000 now issue quarters In
a day. throwing aside about $50 OFT OF
the Thousand. II takes an hour and
one half TO count 1000 10-cent pieces
Gold Coins Weighed.
All gold must be weighed. piece by
piece. and this weighing is done on such
delicate scales that an electric Office
fan cannot be operated in the weighing
room Where gold coin has lost less
weight the Government receives 1t at
itssfface value and retires it. If 1t has
lost more than that the person deposit
ing it Is charged at the rate OF 1 cents |
grain for all that the coin is light.
In counting bills. according to the |
opinion OF an expert at the Treasury |
Department. no device for detecting |

Premier BaIfOur's Speech.

London, July 20.-At the opening Of a
new conservative club at Fulham. the
premier, Balfour, made his first extra par.
liamentary speech as premier. He said he
believed that with the cessation of war in
South Africa new era of friendly rela.
tions between Great Britain and the cen.
tral powers had set in and would continue.
The views expressed on the continent
during the war regarding the British peo
pie and British troops had caused surprise
and indignation, but the controversies
were ended. He hoped they would never
be renewed, and he believed that those who
accused the country in wantonly attack.
ing a free people would see in the future
what British ideas of liberty, colonial self
government and purity of administration
would do to amalgamate the races and to
make of South Africa what Great Britain
has made of so many other portions of the
world.
Referring to Lord Salisbury, the pre-
mier said he had left the country at peace
with the whole world, and he (Mr. Bal
four) believed they could look forward TO
ever increasing good relations with. cont.
mental nations and to a prolonged period
of international good will. He trusted
that the great family of civilized nations
would be what it ought to be, a brother
hood with like interests and like aims.

eident Occurred at Night, Between
Blankenz and Nenstedten.

Hamburg, July 22.-Tte steamship
Primus of Hamburg, with 1856 passen-
gers on board, was cut in two and sunk
by the tug Hansa, on the river Elbe.
So far as is ascertainable about so per-
sons were drowned. Thirteen bodies
already have been recovered.
The Primus was an excursion steam
er from Buxtehude, province of Han.
over, Prussia.
The disaster occurred between Blan-
kenz and Nienstedten. Among the pas
sengers were the members of the Eli
beck Male Choral society. At the time
of the accident the Primus was cross
ing the river channel near Blankenz
from the southern into the northern
fairway.
According to witnesses aboard the Han
n the movement was made too soon. The
Primus struck the tugs engine room and
the Hansa endeavored to push her ashore,
but the tug grounded and the ships part
ed. The Primus then sank.
In the interval, however, about 80 of
her passengers were able to reach the
! Hansa by means of ropes and ladders.
Seventy more wem picked up by the tug :
boats. while others swan ashore.
The disaster caused deep gloom here.
Many children lost both their parents
The choral society which was on boar
the excursion steamer consisted mainly Of
workmen. There were no foreign passen
gers.

The Primus was the Oldest boat on the
Elbe. She was built in England in 1874,
and had never met with an accident. Tie
Hamburg American line, which owned the
Hansa, issued a statement to the effec,
that the weather was fine, the moon wo>
shining, and both vessels were steering alb
solutely clear of each other.
| Suddenly the Primus, when about $50
feet from the Hansa, put her rudder hard
aport and crossed the bows of the latter.
"This mistake" continues the statement
rendered the collision unavoidable. The
only possible step for the Hansa to take,
namely, to go full speed astern, was imme
diately carried out, but without avail
Less than a minute elapsed between the
time the Primus changed her course and
the collision. Boats were Immediately
lowered from the Hansa, and ropes and
ladders were thrown overheard. Fifty
| persons were rescued by the boats. at
the same time the Hansa tried to push
the Primus ashore, but being Of deeper
draught, grounded herself before the pas
senger boat. The Primus floated down
stream and sank 800 feet from the
Hansa"
