ARREST OF DILLARD.
Charged With Forging Chinese Let
ters of Residence.

Chief Wflkie Of the secret service today
received a telegram from one Of his opera
tors at Vancouver, British Columbia. an
nouncing the arrest there last night of
William H. billiard, charged with forging
Chinese letters of residence and the Unit
ed States authorities have been irving to
effect his arrest since the last of Nav. I'm
til May last Dillard was the deputy col
lector OF internal revenue at San Francisco
and among his duties kept charge of the
issue Of Chinese certificates of residence.
The chance to make considerable money
was tempting and Dillard, it Is charged.
fell victim to the wiles of scheniing Chi
nese, who are constantly resorting to some
Illicit device for getting Chinese into this
country. In May one of the Chinese in
New Mexico wrote to the collector Of In
ternal revenue at San Francisco asking for
duplicate of a certain Chinese Certificate
giving the number of the certificate The
inspector said that he held a Chinaman at
the point where he was stationed, who
claimed to have lost his certificate
The letter from the inspector was turned
over to billiard, who wrote a formal letter
saying that he was forwarding the dupl:-
cate certificate to the inspector The sun
posed letter was copied in the regular COPY
book and the officials in the collectors 3
ofice supposed that everything was all
right. an
A day or two later billiard asked for
leave OF absence and disappeared there
stlli being no suspicion Of his crooked
actions. Four or five days or week later
the inspector wrote to know why an an
swer- had not been received to his reouest
saying that he was still holding the China,
man.
The officials in the collectors Office at
san francisco wrote back that a letter had
been sent to the inspector, but when he re-
turned another letter saying that he had re-
ceived nothing from the Office an inyestiga-
ton was made and something of the facts
in the case began to show themselves The
letter book was found tucked awav in On
out-of-the-way place, and 1t soon was die
covered that billiard had been enra al IN
tie business OF forging and altering Chinese
certificates. In July an Indictment was
found against him, and a search Of The
country was made Tor him. One Of ths
operators of the secret service was STANDING
in a pawnshop in San Francisco on the 7tS
Of this month. when an agent of an ernress
company came In and laid down $40. and
directed that certain diamond scarfn,n Oh. ha
forwarded to Seattle.
The inspector learned that the searfn,r
had belonged to billiard, and this gave n
clew to the mans whereabouts. From
Seattle 1t was found that he had CONS 70
st. Paul as a Pullman porter on a train, ~
the Canadian Pacific railroad and had re
returned from there to Vancouver. where
he was arrested. 1t is stated that DiI,ard
will waive hearing and will return To
San Francisco for trial.

Found Old Coin.
From the New York Tribune.


While moving the old Delaney mansion
from its original site on Heatcote Hill.
overlooking the sound, at Mamaroneck, re-
Gently. P. H. Spader, local builder. found
a copper sixpence of Great Britain hidden
in a crevice in the interior of the ancient
structure. where 1t had remained for many
years. The house was built in 1892, and
the date on the coin is 1897 so that 1t is
safe to assume that some member Of the
Delaney family lost It, and that 1t had
continued undisturbed for at least
century.
The Inscription reads, "Georgius III, D.
G. Rex. 1897" His likeness also appears on
the same side. The sixpense is nearly as
large in circumference as an American sill
yer dollar. and is almost twice as thick.
Since the news Of the find has gone abroad
the place Is being visited by many relic
hunters The hill Is noted because II was
once the home of Bishop Delaney of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. and later of
Archbishop Bayley Of the Roman Catholic
see of Baltimore.

LARGEST CORN CROP
Ever Raised is Predicted for tho
Present Year.

A corn crop OF two and one half
billion bushels, which is three
hundred million bushels more
than the biggest crop in the his
tory OF the country, is predicted
for this year by traffic men and
grain statistians, says the Railway
Age. Two and half billions
bushels Of corn means 10000
100000 pounds, which means TO-
900 600 tons, which at the liberal
average OF thirty tons to the car,
means. 2 1888 cars, which at If
ty cars TO the train means 1866
trains, which means loud calls for
cars and engines, long hours and
increased pay for train crews,
large earnings for the railways,
much money for farmers, merch-
ants and all related industries,
and a continuance of general pros
perity
Ii Nv much of the possible two
and a talf million car loads will
actually be carried by rail, and
how much Of it will be consumed
on the farms can not be 80 easily
figured; but the bulk of this pro.
iigious yield will reach the rail-
ways in the shape of corn or of
stock, and the roads in the corn
growing regions will have all that
they can do for many months and
svery railway and business in the
country will benefit from the pros
perity of the producers Of this

Attractive Women.
u. 5. Il. s. Franklin.

All women sensibly desire to be
attractive. Beauty is the stamp
Of health because it is the outward
manifestation of inward purity.
A healthy woman is always attrac-
tive, bright and happy. When
every drop of blood in the veins
is pure, a beauteous flush is on the
cheek, But when the blood is inn
pure moroseness, bad temper and
a sallow complexion tells the tale
of sickness plainly. And women
today know there is no beauty
without health. Wine Of Cardui
crowns women with beauty and
attractiveness by making strong
and healthy those organs which
make her a woman. Try Wine of
Cardui and in a month your
friends will hardly know you
