Schaeffer, at the time of his dIsap-
pearance, was twenty-six years old. He
was graduate of Iowa University. of
which his father. the late Charles Ash
mead Schaeffer. was president, and had
attended Cornell University and the
University Of Pennsylvania law school.
He was associated IN the practice of HIS
profession with the Philadelphia firm of
corporation lawyers, Burr, Brown &
LLOYD.
lie was last seen by his friends in this
country in the Victoria Hotel. in New
York. A few days prior he had drawn
5000 from Chandler Brothers, brokers,
and had talked vaguely Of investing the
money IN Iowa mortgages. From that
on he dropped out of sight. and disap-
peared as though spirited away.
For two years the family has made
every effort TO find some trace of him.
Private detectives were employed. de-
Scriptions Of the missing man were sent
broadcast. and no expense was spared
to solve the mystery Of his disappear
ance. But not until a few weeks ago.
when the postal card came from India,
was the slightest clue found.

After a mysterious absence of two
years. George Schuyler Schaeffer. son
of Mrs. Charles Ashmead Schaeffer, of
Washington, has been located at a sea-
port town in India
Communication has been established
between himself and his mother, who is
in London, and the young man Is now
believed to be on his way 20 England
TO join Mrs. Schaeffer.
Mrs. Schaeffer, with her daughter,
Gertrude, left Washington last fall for
Italy, intending 10 remain abroad for
a year or more. During their residence
here they made their home at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Schaeffer's eldest daugh-
ter, Mrs Thomas J. Fulton, of 22l7
Connecticut Avenue. The family is well
known IN the social life of the city.
At the time of her departure Mrs.
Schaelfer knew nothing OF the where
abOuts of her son, who lad disappeared
completely and mysteriously on Septem-
Der ., 1902, while stopping at the Vic
toria Hotel in New York.
The Washington times., 1904-07-01
Postal Card From India.

The disclosure of his whereabouts was
effected through a postal card from
Bombay, India, which was sent to HIS
residence in Philadelphia, where he prac-
ticed law for several years. II was ad-
dressed to the young lawyer. and signed
by stranger to the family. The card
read:
I suppose you are back in Philadel-
phia before this. Write me"
Inquiries were made by cable and by
letter, and Mrs. Schaeffer ascertained
that her son had been in India, and had
left for London. She Immediately left
Geneva, whittier they had gone from
Rome. and is now believed either to be
with her son or in communicable with
him.
No word of the discovery Of the where
abOuts Of the young man has been re-
ceived by his relatives in Washington.
His sister, Mrs. Fuller, is out of the
city, but at the house il was stated
Mrs. Schaeffer had not yet cOmmuni-

The Washington times., 1904-07-01

A report of the operations Of the
Secret Service division for the fiscal
year ended June 80. was laid on Secre-
tary Shaw's desk this morning by Chief
Wilkie. Among other things. reference
is made in the document TO an effort
on the part OF the division to secure
an estimate of the amount of counter
felt money in circulation in the United
States.
Thousands Of letters Of inquiry were
sent to banks in every city OF import
ance in the country. and a tabulatoin OF
the replies presents some interesting
facts. More than two thousand Of the
national banks reported that they had
not seen any counterfeit money during
the period covered by the inquiry, Janu-
airy l TO December 81, 1903. Fifteen hun
dred banks reported a decrease in the
amount they had received, as compared
with previous years, and one hundred
reported an Increase.
In order to be certain that the esti-
mates should be over rather than under
the actual facts. the figures relating TO
the amount OF counterfeits handled by
the banks was doubled, both as to coin
and notes. Even with this liberal allow
ance, the rgures indicated about IS in
counterfeit coin for each 800, 900 Of god
and silver in circulation, and a little less
than 81 In counterfeit notes for each
100000 Of paper circulation.
The Washington times., 1904-07-01
twenty-five Counterfeits.

There were twenty-five new counter
feits described in the official circulars
issued by the division during the year.
but only four Of these notes fell in what
Is termed the deceptive, or dangerous
class. The makers and passers OF eight
cen Of the twenty-five counterfeit issues
were arrested, and In nearly every case
the plant" was captured and destroyed.
The place OF honor In the report is
given 10 the case of Marcus Graham, the
Providence engraver. who was RESPONSE
bic for the deceptive counterfeits, the
so United States note. and 800 gold GER
tificate. His arrest at st. Louis and
subsequent confession. the recovery Of
nearly $4,000 IN notes, the seizure OF the
plates and plant on June "A, are still
fresh In the public mind.
Other cases Of which particular refer
ence Is made, are those Of the Davis and
Wilson-Thompson gangs at Boston.
Davis was a counterfeiter of interna-
tional fame. and considered one OF the
most dangerous men of his class. The
Wilson-Thompson gang were responsible

London, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Maybrick is
serving out the last few months OF
her life sentence. for the killing OF
her husband, in the quiet country
home of the Sisters of the Epiphany
at Truro. Cornwall, under an assumed
name and with her identity complete
" hidden. She is guarded from com
munication with the outside world as
~jealously as if she were still in Ayles
bury prison. Though the fresh Corn.
wall air is bringing color back to her
checks. the strain of her II years OF
confinement, commencing with the
imposition of the death sentence.
IFissed under the severe discipline OF
various prisons. is still evident in heI
look. This, however. is the
only outward sign she shows of hel
ordeal. Even the sisters with whom
she associates and servants have M
idea that she is really Mrs, Maybrick
She wears an ordinary black dress
with a frill at her throat. She occu
pies a pleasant, simple-furnished
room in the home and rises at {
o'clock each morning.
Though a free agent in many ways
she is Obliged to conform TO the strict
discipline of the convent. She takes
her meals in silence, and Is not allow
ed to coneyrse except upon religious
topics during the day. Al tea time
when for an interval the Sisters are
permitted to talk OF mundane things
Mrs. Maybrick retires to her own
room. She must be in bed by nine
O'Clock. No newspapers are allowed
her and only such books as are given
her by the sisters. At first newspa

but it was discovered and a severe
reprimand followed.
During part of the day Mrs. May
brick works in silence in the sewing
room with the sisters. who make al
their own clothing. Last Sunday she
attended service in Truro cathedral
and has been allowed TO walk about
the town, accompanied by one of tn,
sisters.
Mrs. Maybrick is supposed to be re
covering from an attack of inluenzs
and passes merely as one Of the many
visitors to the sisterhood who pay fol-
their accommodation. She will remain
in charge of the sisters until she Is
released next July, though prior tc
that time when the weather improves
she will be removed probably to &

In her present sanctuary Mrs. May
brick appears to be happy by compari'
son The change from prison fair and
| discipline Is almost as complete as
the perfect freedom of the large, beau
tifully kept grounds, surrounding the
sisterhood building, which overlooks
the sleepy. little cathedral town of
Truro. where the brcezes sweep from
the Cornish moorS and the coast.
Many members of the English arts.
tocracy are inmates of the home. The
Mother Superior of the home is the
Hon. Mrs. Dalrymple. while several
other sisters. under only their Chris.
tian names. conceal well known pa.
tronymics.
The S%isterhood of the Epiphany
constantly receives within its walls
titled women who wish TO find a TEN.
porary resting world in a religious re'
treat and hence Mrs. Maybrick's ar.
ival caused no comment. She was
driven from the Truro railway sta
ton to the home in Miss Dalrymple's
private carriage and remained In
strict incOgnito for nearly a fortnight,
The acting mother superior is one OF
the few who know of the identity OF
the visitor. and she guards her from
all interviews with a vigilance worthy
of an old-time abbess. This sister abb
solutcly refuses To convey a letter or
message to Mrs. Maybrick from a rep
rcscntative OF the Associated Press.
A rescue home for fallen girls. and
4 laundry for their employment. is
carried on in connection with Epiph.
any convent. Until now the sisters
who knew of Mrs. Maybrick's identity
have evaded inquiry regarding her by
stating that she was not in the rescue
home, which is quite correct. as Mrs
Maybrick has nothing to do with This
department of the convent.
Mrs. Maybrick's somewhat anomal
Gus status was explained as follows
TO the Associated Press representa-
tive by n of the chief officials OF
the Epiphany order: Mrs. MaybricI
is still a prisoner, and has not ever
been released on ticket-of-leave
Those in charge of her are practical
ly her ~jailers and all communication
with her is forbidden. except through
the home secretary"
These appear to be textually the
%olIicial instructions which accompan
led Mrs. Maybrick on her departure
from Aylesbury prison. No prison
warden is with Mrs. Maybrick, the
sisters being implicitly intrusted with
her safe keeping, which fact is gen
orally regarded as constituting an un
p~recedented indulgence to a prisoner
