SECRET SERVICE REPORT
What is Shown by Chief Wilkes
Annual Statement.
Statistics of C~Ounterfciting, Both
Paper and Coin. and Other Nto-
IatiOns OF Federal Laws.

Washington. Aug. 2G.-The annual
service, shows a total of 532 arrests,
of which Al related to counterfeits OF
currency, 50 to altered obligations,
344 to the counterfeiting of coin and
the others in connection with various
violations of the federal statutes.
The nationality OF the defendants
represented most of the civilized coun-
tries, but native born offenders led
with 392, Italy being second with ~,
and Austria third with Is.
In geographical division of prosecu-
tons Pennsylvania led with "a; New
York had II; Ohio, So; California, 90;
Missouri, 20, all of the states and ter
ritories except Alaska being repre-
scented.
One cas- was prosecuted il Cuba.
Counterfeit notes confscated by the
service aggregated S36,S34, against
S44,350 the previous year; while the
coins seized aggregated $24,110,
against $16,419 for the previous
twelve months.
There were captured 165 plates of
various descriptions for the making of
counterfeit notes and 454 dies and
molds for coming. A very large pro-
portion of the counterfeit coins was
captured in the hands of the makers
before being placed in circulation. But
nine new counterfeit notes were made
and circulated and of these only four
were considered deceptive enough to
bring them in the dangerous class.

Mayor Woodward of Atlanta Says
He Wasn't Drunk i'm TOIedO-DeI-
eeates Tell Different story.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug. 29.-Mayor Wood
ward has returned from Toledo, where
he attacked Mayor Dunno of Chicago.
He was somewhat the worse for wear
and was suffering from a heavy cold,
which he a Y he caught on the train.
He denied that he was durunk in Tole-
do. He declared his speech was indorsed
by some of its ~best-known citizens, who
came to him and cOmplimented him.
Despite the mayors denials of drunk
enness, the delegates who accompanied
him declare he was drinking and that
his conduct lost Atlanta the convention
of the municipalities league. They tell
of having begged the mayor not TO at
tempt to speak, and Of leaving the hall
rather than TO witness the spectacle.
The common council will meet to
draw up resolutions of apology TO May
or Dunno, and it seems certain that
Mayor Woodward will be requested to
resign.

NORTH CAROLINA LYNCRIHG
John Moore, a Negro, Taken From
Jail at Newbern and Hanged.
Assault, on Mrs. George Eubanks,
i'm an Attempted Robbery.

Newbern, N. c., Aug. 2S.-Johr
Moore, a negro, 20 years old, was taken
from Craven county Jail, in this city,
and lynched by a mob of 100 masked
men armed with rifles and revolvers.
With his hands tied behind him, the
negro was led out about a third of a
mile from the Jail to the draw OF Neuse
river bridge. hanged to n Of its
braces and his body riddled with bull
lets.
Entrance 10 the Jail was effected by
forcing the jailer to surrender the keys.
AS soon as the attack was discovered
the naval reserves were called out to at
tempt to prevent the lynching. Sheriff
J. w. Biddle pleaded that Moore be
left TO the law, hut his efforts were I'M
availing and the mob carried out its
plans.
Moore entered the country store OF
George Eubanks, at Clarks, seven miles
from Newbern, last Friday, when the
proprietor's wife was the only one in.
The negro attempted robbery and struck
Mrs. Eubanks on the head with a meat
Ak. fracturing the skull and inficting
injuries which, if they do 0 prove Ia
tai. will at least cause not only dlSng-
urement but lifelong suffering.
The real cause of the lynching lay III
the fact that at his preliminary hear
ing MOore's bond was fixed at the small
sum Of $500.

WOMAN WALKS INTO RIVER
Life-SaverS Leaped From Boat to
Rescue Her, But Their Efforts
Were in Vain.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-In sight of hum
dreds OF passengers crowded about the
rail of the steamer Eastland, a woman
walked from the partly swung bridge
INTO the river at Wells street as the
bridge moved back into place after the
passing of the excursion boat. The eff
forts of a dOzan willing ~life-savers, who
leaped from beat and docks 10 the river,
were futile, as the victim failed to rise
TO the surface after the fall.
The playing Of the excursion beat
searchlight about the spot and the
shrieks of the caliope whistle caused
much excitement on the boat, and
among passengers in the Northwestern
railway depot. Scores of s~uburbanites
missed the trains while they fingered
about the docks and engaged in the
search.
Descriptions Of the woman given by
the shores witnesses who saw her walk
from the bridge, differ materially, but
the police believe she was about 40
years old and of matronly figure and as
rect.

Probably the picture of John Paul
Jones most familiar to the public is
the one representing him on the deck
of the Bonhomme Richard with a pair
of huge fintlock pistols in his belt.
Those same pistols, their authenticity
beyond doubt, are 0 owned In
Evansville. They were not only once
the property Of the great admiral, but
were the ones he wore when, with the
Bonhomme Richard, he defeated the
British sloop Scraps and gained fo"
the then infant American navy its first
victory.

GUST TIE DEMON.
A -ussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoniacal
in the way coffee sometimes wreals its
fendish malice On those who use it.
A lady writing from Calf. says
MY husband and I, both lovers of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness, ac-
companied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af-
lection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
81 was unable 10 hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves drew
it to one side, causing me the most in
tense pain. We got no relief from
medicine, and were puzzled as to what
caused the trouble, till a friend sug-
gested that possibly the coffee We
drank had something to do with it.
and advised that we quit it and try
Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in
a very short time both Of us were n
tirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headache ceased,
the muscles in the back of my neck re-
Taxed, my head Strengthened up, and
the dreadful pain that had Sc punished
me while I used the old kind of coffee
vanished.
Eve have neve resumed the use or
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as we'll as we did the former
beverage. And we are delighted to find
that we can give it freely to our chill
dren. also, something we never dared
to do with the old kind of coffee"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely no
drugs of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug poi
son.
There's a reason.

Japan is very harsh on her defeated
officers, both naval and military.
During the present war in the far
East a naval lieutenant who failed 20
carry out a task set him was politely
told by his chief to cover his disgrace
by committing suicide. A sheet was
strung on the deck of the lieutenant's
gunboat, and behind this was placed
an armchair and a table. On the lat

niece of clean paper. The l~ieutenan:
bowed to his comrades, went behind
the sheet, sat in a chair and picked
no the knife and committed suicide.
