Mr.. Haggard expresses himself as
extremely well satisfied with the re-
suits seen at the Fort R0mfe settle
ment In California, and the Fort
Amity settlement in Colorado. The
Ohio settlement he leaves out of con-
sideration, as it is principally devoted
To the redemption of inebrlates, and
the carving out of agricultural expert
ments. At both Forts Romie and
Amity, he found the settlers healthy,
happy, hopeful and almost without
exception doing wei. Beginning In
nearly every case with nothing, in the
course of about four years at Fort Ro-
mie, he found these settlers worth
about $1,000 per head, above all their
debts and liabilities to the Salvation
Army and others, and at Fort Amity.
an average of over $1,000 head,
which he thinks is more than they
could have possibly accumulated dur
ing the same period as day laborers on
the land or in the cities.
Reason For Wide acknowledgements
1t is true that, although the set
tiers themselves are doing well the
Salvation Army, for the reason that
unexpected difficulties in the open-
ing up Of the land were encountered,
was called upon to pay some $4,000
for it's experience. Mr.. Haggard de-
clares, however, that under all the cir
cumstances, and in the face of the
principles demonstrated, and the sue
cess won in every other direction, this
experience has been very cheaply
bought.
'sFurther," he says, 81 cannot see
any cause to fear a repetition OF that
loss in the future application of these
principles. 1t is therefore totally In
accurate to say, as has been done
widely in press summaries of my re
port, that these settlements are imam
cially failure
Would Systematic Philanthropy.
Mr.. Haggard proposes a scheme,
i. e." to combine judiciOus use of
the public credit, with that of what /
have called, the waste forces of be-
nevolence,' and by means of these
two levers, to lift some of the mass OF
human misery, which demonstrates
itself in the great cities of civilization,
to new level of plenty and content
ment.'
He believes that If settlements are
carried out on these lines, and espec.
tally If they are located upon good
land, which has cost the controlling
authorities little or nothing, there
should be, as is indicated by the ia.
bles furnished in this report, no loss
but even considerable gain.

The government also has in its pos
session numerous counterfeits OF for

crime to falsify or counterfeit foreign
obligations as it is to counterfeit our
own.

collection is the number Of advertise

Valuable Counterfeiting Machinery.
At present the eontraband includes
in addition to counterfeit notes, coins,
postage and revenue stamps, valuable

counterfeiters print the Latin numerals

Photographic apparatus, dies, molds,
stamps and other accessories of the
art of making fictitious money.
This year large batch of the John

They are known as the Hancock Is. "
They were made by the celebrated coun-
terfeiter johnson Of Detroit and were
SO nearly perfect that the government
suspended the issue Of this note. No

still in circulation and performing the
functions of real money.

CHARGES ADMISSION FOR

James j. Van Alan, the expatriated
American millionaire, has taken hint
from the Duke of Westminster, who
has for some time past charged all
tourists or excursi0nistS who desire to
explore Eaton Hall and spend a day
among the beautiful scenery on his
Cheshire estate, 10 cents head. SO
great has been the influx of tourists
to Rushton Hall. Mr.. Van Alan's his
toric place in NOKthampto dur
ing this season, that, commencing with
January i, he proposes to follow the
Dukes example with condition
slightly changed. The income derived
from the Dukes visitors is divided
among local charities. Mr.. Van Alan

to all visitors from abroad and Il
cents to excursionist parties other than
those who may come from the county
of Northampton, to whom the grounds

sources will be divided between the
local infirmary and an institution for
social intercourse and educational i'm

lish in the neighborhood for the bene-
fit of Workingmen. 1t is estimated that
next year, when the house and grounds

H. Rider Haggard is a man of gen.
ius. At one time, he is writing such
impossible creations as "She" and
"King Solomon's Mines" calling into
play q most vivid imagination and
settings, in weird and unreal color
ings; at another time, he is actively
superintending the work on his mag
nificent 200-acre English farm; next
he is studying over some new imagin-
ative creation, wandering about his
home, and not speaking to the MEM
bers Of his family for a week at q
time; and again he is making an eco
nomic study, under government
commission, OF the social conditions
of the poor in America. In short
interview with him, as he passed
through Washington this year, on his

eminently practical bard sense, while
