state, the donor being a Cincinnati
woman, formerly resident Of Kan
sas. Mr.. Stranger carries the check
in his pocket, which is turned over
to the priest on the payment Of the
attorneys fee of S. So smooth Is
his scheme that every man he secs,
even though he does not accept the
check, feels as though he should, for
his story is very plausible one.
At Hays City the priest in charge
of the parish paid the SIS and &C
cepted the check for $500, which he
had cashed at the local bank, but
which the priest was later informed
was no good, and that, besides losing
the SIS, he would also be compelled
to pay the protest fees. The people
are warned to be on the lookout for
this fellow, who II man apparently

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING,
There was large attendance at San

meeting of the Portuguese Political
Club was called to order The ut
most enthusiasm prevailed and
young men born here and old men
born across he seas rivalized with

demanded that two Portuguese be
endorsed by the Republicans. One
Senator and one representative, or
else two representatives. As far as

colld not have it. This island has
| only three to elect aud there is q
strong rivalry existing in the ranks
of the Republican party as to who
shall get the nominations. As to

in the Legislature the Republicans
were not prepared to give an answer
and requested the Portuguese TO
give them until Friday evening to
talk the matter over.
j. NJ. Vivas made plea for a
postponement OF the election until
Saturday night, but after impassion
ated addr .sses by NJ. A. S Iva and
j M Camara, the motion was lost.

who had not paid their admission
fee.
Silva repl' ed Indignantly TO the
accusation and declared that An.
drade's statements we're hsing made
with the intention OF hurting his
chances OF being elected.

other cover Immediately and quietly re-
places it. This, of course, necessitates
at a large dim r many servants-one at
least to two or three guests. In a great
household the matter is easily done. In
houses where the servants are fewer in

Would Grow Money Like Weeds,
Washington Correspondence of Brookly


Eagle.
The redemption experts Of the Treas
ury Department had curious case the
other day. which shows that ignorance
and a too trustful faith may sometimes
prove costly. Several packages of dir.
were received at the department. accom-
panied by letter saying that mixed up
with the earth We're the remains of 500
in greenbacks. Some poor fool thought
that money would grow and multiply if
planted in a pot of earth. He tried the
experiment by cutting up into minute
particles several gre"rhacks, aCGregatinE
in value about 800. The pot fun of earth
was watered and cared for regularly un-
til the attention of sane person was
attracted to the fruitless proceedings.
The experts of the redemption division
searched faithfully thr3Igh the nacEPges
of dirt and found several pieces OF paper
money. Not enough was obtained, how
ever. to warrant the redemption of 800
worth.
The redemption division. by the way is
SURPRISING all past records of exchanging
new money for old. For the past three
years there has been tremendous de-
mand throughout the country for notes
of small DENOMINATIONS. The bills that
We're issued in response to this demand
are now finding their way back 10 the
Treasury for redemption, and this ac-
counts, in Il measure, for the heavy re-
ceipts. During the month of April. 1901,
the redemption division handled 6,S63,l3l
wee es Of nIorcv During the cores md
ing month Of this year there were ham
dlcd 9,22ioo2 pieces. The working force
of this division has been lately increased
in order to keep up with the big volume
