SPURIOUS COINS
ON THE INCREASE
ENGLISH S0VEREIGNS ARE
COUNTERFElTED
ART COMES NEAR PERFECTION
Police, Puzzled, Are Unable to "Smoke
Out" the Coiners' Dens In
the City of
London
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 12.--More disconcert-
ing to the foreign visitor who is not
conversant with English coinage than
to the native will be the announcement
that there is more spurious money In
circulation just now than was ever
known in this country.
Not only that, but the art of false
coming is more near perfection than
ever. The police estimate that the ranks
of ''smashers" are being augmented
yearly, and as soon as the police
''smoke out" one coiners' den they be-
come aware that another has sprung
into existence, the rate of increase be-
ing greater than at any time during the
present generation.
1t is estimated that there are no few
er than two hundred persons now en-
gagged in this country in private coin
ing, counterfeiting and uttering bad
money and of that number probably
two-thirds live in London. The num-
Der Of private mints is probably not
far short of one hundred.
The police are puzzled how this
traffic is so enticing, for the elaborate
plans necessary are very expensive and
the risk of being exposed by friends"
passing money is very great. as the his
tory of the game has shown.
There is also now a recrudescence of
what is known as sweating" sover-
eigns, which must be more difficult to
detect.
Two thousand of these were secured
by the police during the last twelve
months. How many were destroyed on
being rendered at shops on payment is
not known, but one barman in the
Strand declares that at least hundred
were broken by him on being rendered
to him during the year.

BERLIN, Aug. 12.-Several hundred

After his majesty had worked for
several hours over them and was de-

VIENNA, Aug. 12.-An amusing case
has come before the Vienna magis-

of the Sahara" Faustaine Larrocque,
was defendant.
She had been placarded in large let
ters for some days to appear at a va
riety theater The police ordered the
withdrawal Of the bills, as containing
a false name. This seems to have
aroused the suspicious of the manager.
who before signing the contract called
upon the chansonette singer at her ho-
tel. and requested proofs in the shape
of letters from "his majesty" Jacques
Lebaudy, as to her real position.
This SO offended the empress" that
she belabored him with cane. He re-
taliated with a stick. The fight was
carried on to the staircase, and the
manager was 4inally elected. 1t ap-
pears that the woman only enjoyed the
temporary dignity of empress for few
weeks. as she represented to the Aus
trian authorities that the emperor"
was insane. and he hastily took flight
from the country.
The crowd was so great at the doors
OF the court that a corporal and a file
OF soldiers had to be called In to assist

peared in an elegant toilet was finally

Special Cable to The Herald.

| opeCldi OdDle 10 Inc Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 12.-Lady Colin
Campbell, appropos of the close of the
London season, has a word to say
through the medium of the Daily
Chronicle on the decadence of home life
and woman's responsibility for the
evil.
''The wife doesn't attempt now
days." says Lady Campbell ito become
the comrade of her husband. She
thinks her duties fulfilled when she has
seen to the ordering of dinner. The
rest of her time she tries to kill as
best she may. Hence home, that is the
harbor for the husband, becomes a
wearisome prison for her, from which
she is only too glad to escape on any
pretext.
I'm the fertile soil Of idleness have
sprung up three evil weeds which have
done more than anything else to de-
stroy a woman's love of home These
three things are women's clubs and
bridge among the upper and middle
classes and religious revlvals among
the lower.
THE passion for bridge has accent
uated thousandfold the dislike of
home which was begun by women's
clubs. The overmastering desire to OBJ
tain money which has not been earned
by work is about the most disintegrat-
ing and vulgar passion to which hui
man being can fall victim, and when an
idle woman gives way to this insidious
excitement home life may call in vain.
The worst part of the bridge craze is
its effect on young girls. What chance
is there of a girl ever developing love
of home when she has once drunk deep
Of the excitement of afternoons and
evenings devoted to bridge and the
winning or losing Of money? The fem
mime brain is not as a rule remarkable
for it's strength of balance and its ten
dency to exaggeration either In good or
evil is well known characteristic"

LONDON, Aug. -Trentham hall,

borderies Of the Potteries, Is to be
closed, at least for time.
The Duchess of Sutherland is we'll
known for her philanthropy, and has
attracted particular attention by her
euccesses in raising large sums for the
North Sea fishermen.
In letter to the Earl of Dartmouth,
chairman of the Staffordshire county
council, the duke states that owing to
The pollution by sewage Of the Trent he
Is forced to the conclusion that Trent
ham Is a ruined residence, and that he
has no choice but to close the hall
where his family have resided for so
long period. His grace adds that he
does not intend to waive the claims
which he is advised he has against t., .
Potteries authorities for the damage he
Is sustaining.
The duke has also written to the

that the council. unlike the other local
authorities, has done nothing to remedy
the nuisance. He adds that he has in.
structed his solicitors to take proceed
ings against the corporation If it is not
prepared to give an assurance that 1t is
willing to at once adopt some remedial
measures for the treatment of the sew
age of the borough which flows into the
Trent.
The news Of the proposal to close
Trentham hall has been received with
deep regret throughout North Stafford
shire. where the duke and duchess have
done such splendid philanthropic work.
The great park and charming woods at
Trentham have always been open to the
public as pleasure and recreation

PARIS, Aug. 12.-Although the few
Parisians left in Paris complain Of the
heat, the American tourists who throng
the city find an agreeable change. /
heard more than one remark this week
how delightfully."- cool 1t was AS a
matter of fact, the thermometer until
Thursday had not been above 80 in
the week and the nights were from ten
to fifteen degrees cooler.
The shah's departure on Thursday
removed the only unusual feature of
midsummer life in the capital.
During the last days of his visit the
shah drove often to the Bois, creating
amusement by taking snapshots of per-
sons near him and posing members of
his suite In groups pleasing to the
royal eye.
One day the shah saw several pretty
women and sent messenger to ask
them to pose. The women, much pleas
ed, consented, and when they got near
the shah recognized one as Nine.
Georges de Reuder, wife of the corre-
spondent of the Persian bank in Lon
don. During the entire visit the shah
only once left his hotel without an es-
cort of mounted Garde Republicaine
Now he's gone the streets seem truly
deserted. The only persons recognized
on the boulevards and in the Champs
Elysees are Americans The chestnut
trees are turning brown, the withered
leaves giving triste aspect to the de-
serted thoroughfares.
An increasing number of Americans
are touring on the continent In auto
mobiles.
Among those recently seen were

France. He recently purchased a 40

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE great rush
from London has set in in earnest and
/ Goodwood has claimed all the leading
hosts and hostesses this week.
| But the outstanding features Of the
exodus is the extraordinary heavy
traffic to Scotland and the north of
England, this being the anticipatory
rush of servants and families luggage,
horses, carriages and automobiles to
be prepared for those who go north
later for the grouse shooting.
From the three great termini whence
trains are sent northward the night
trains have been quadrupled.
A most remarkable spectacle was wit
messed at Euston one morning, when
between ten o'clock and one they were
despatching express trains every five
minutes.
1t was said a year ago that trade
would take turn after last Christmas
holidays. 1t did not, and business re-
mained as slack as ever. The railways
have not been in particularly thriving
state, the returns showing a decrease
in both passenger and goods traffic.
That everybody is still hard up was
the excuse found for such a state of af-
fairs, and yet it is difficult to remem-
Der when the staffs of these three
great stations-Euston, st. Pancras and
Kings Cross-from station masters to
porters, had such exciting and strenu-
GUS times for the first week in August.

assistant manager. The boys who play
football have been divided into two
squads, caleld the gophers and the
coyotes. Ralph Tavenner is captain
of the coyotes and Richard Baker of
the gophers. The manager made this
division so that there would be two
teams to practice against each other,
and in case of an outside game there
would be two men eligible for each
position. 1t is expected that there
will be match game between the
gophers and the coyotes some time
