A DOCTOR IN TROUBLE.
Arrested For Passing Counterfeit Bills
Plant Found In House.

Arrested For Passing Counterfeit Bills.
Plant Found In House.
Boston. Aug 13.-The arrest of Dr.
Frank G. Sanft on a charge Of pass
ing counterfeit 81 bills led to the dis
covery OF a remarkable counterfeiting
plant at his home, 66 Center street,
Roxbury, where $1,000 Of newly made
bills were found all ready TO be -eircu-
lated. The find was made by the police
and secret service inspectors. How long
the counterfeiting plant has been in
existence is not known, but it is be-
lieved that the manufacture Of spurious
bills under the noses Of the Roxbury
police has been going on extensively
for some time.
Sanft, the police think, is only one Of
a gang Of counterfeiters who have been
running the plant The secret service
men expect to run down the others
soon. For some time Roxbury has been
flooded with bad 81 bills, and com
plants have come in not only from the
tradesmen Of the district, but from
every part OF Boston.
On Thursday a man called at the
saloon Of g. Rothfuss, 1151 fremont
street bought a drink and gave a 81
bill. He did the same thing at several
other places. At one Of these places
the clerk, after scrutinizing the bill
closely called a policeman. The police
were furnished with a description OF
the man, and Or. Sanft was arrested
The police caught him, so they say
Just after he had passed bad 81 bill
on a peddler
The bills are Of the series Of 1893
The workmanship is rather crude, but
they appear 10 have been in circulation
for some time.
Sanft. who is a physician, is a Ger
man and a graduate Of Heidelberg. He
has a family who for many years have
borne an excellent reputation in Rox
bury. He has been practicing medicine
for more than sixteen years, most Of th'
time in Roxbury. He has a summer
practice at the South Shore, and hii
professional reputation there and IL
Roxbury has been high.

STORIES OF THE DAY

Friends OF a brakeman on the passenger
shifting crew at French Street Station
are having much fun at his expense these
days. Last week he went swimming with
several companions at Edge Moor. While
in the water he lost his false teeth. AL
though he industrously searched until
nightfall no trace Of the missing mo,ars
could he find but under the shade Of
night he sought his Pine street boarding
house. The joke Is that he has been
complimented often by the fair sex on
the quality Of his teeth and not until the
unfortunate accident did the fact leak
out that they were false.

moment from the rise to the final call
Of the curtain.
"The Factory Girl" which has made
;i decided hit at the Lyceum theatre
this week, will close its engagement
there this evening.
AS a special treat for his patrons
Manager Humphries, Of the Lyceum,

duced in this line. Manager Dixon has
provided 1t with an entire new equip
lment and the acting company has been
selected with great care.

is 1T A FEELER7

A n ARTICLE in the Washington
IA star on the Delaware situation
we think warrants the conclu-
sion reached by the Morning News,
that some one has been in Washing
ton trying to make mischief"
The star is generally regarded as in
close touch with the Administration,
and as its statements bear the stamp
OF deception we may well believe that
am emissary from Delaware has
stated the Addicks case anew, and that
from this ex parte evidence somebody
in authority possibly Mr.. Payne, has
given out feeler to see how far It
is possible to impress upon the public
the necessity for driving the Regulars
into support Of Addicks.
The article in question declares that
the President has been seriously criti-
cised by leaders of other States for not
preventing Houston, for example. from
taking the stump against Addicks." but
as the situation is peculiar here, the
President has refused so far to inter-
fere. The article continues, making
Republicanism Synonymous with Ad-
dicksism. and the latter synonymous
with loyalty.
Not much comment is needed. Mr.
Houston has not taken the stumr
against Addicks, but we imagine thai
he would not hesitate to do so SHOULD
the situation require. And we thinl
the loyalty OF the Regular Republican,
has been already tested sufficiently
They have been denied seats in tw,
conventions, they have seen the lead
ers Of the national party consortinl
with Addicks, giving him and his caus
all the comfort possible. Yet, notwith
standing all that. the Regulars hav
indorsed the ticket and platform, nom
mated electors and promised to suppor
them.
If there is any purpose 10 coerc
them; 10 make them accept Addick
and his sickening methods as the con
sideratlon for new Federal offices
whoever makes such a mistake wi
have another guess.

:" ENRY c. CONRAD Is the Ad-
dicks candidate for Governor
or perhaps we should say the
choice Of Alice and Addlcks. He is not
yet the Union Republican candidate, as
the convention of that party has not
met. although OF course Il viii assem-
BILE later as a ratlfylng body.
But solely in the interests Of clear
ness. II is well in the meantime to class
and designate Mr. Conrad politically,
that there may be no confusion. Hav-
ing been named by Alice and his nom
nation seconded by Addleks after a
conference with these men, we pre-
sumo that Mr.. Conrad no longer ex-
poets to be regarded as an Independent
Republican, TOO independent to belong
10 any faction. That role is now im-
possible.
And. further, It Is perfectly logical
and proper for us to infer that at the
conference in Philadelphia, participated
In by Addicks, Alice, Layton and Hum
his attiture towards the UNION Repub.
llcan party and Addicks' candidacy foi
the Senate We're thoroughly discussed
and a conclusion reached. In short
we think we may say without doinE
Mr. Conrad an injustice, that before
becoming the choice Of Addicks he had
to give Addieks assurances or pledges
Of his conduct should he be elected
Governor, and nobody doubts what as
\surances Addicks would demand.
! Consequently, we repeat, Mr.. Conrad
Is the Addicks candidate. He is not
a compromise candidate; he is not an
independent he is just as much bound
as was John Hum when he accepted
the nomination. And no personal feel
ing for or against the nominee need
now weigh. Mr.. Conrad is the choice
OF Senator Alice and Addicks, and h,
must accept whatever OF glory or OF
odium that fact carries with Il.
