CRISP TWO-DOLLAR BILLS.
Their Usefulness with Voters De

In the agitation and threatened inVeStl-
cation Of vote-buying in Maryland by
Congressman-elect jackson, the story is
recalled Of a political method said to
have been employed BY his brother, the
ex-governor Of that name, which resulted
in wholesale slaughter Of greenbacks.
Believing the almighty dollar TO be q
powerful factor in Maryland politics, the
candidate for governor teiegraphed to an
other brother, Wilbur jackson, in Wash
iugton. to proceed to Salisbury with a
goodly number Of two-dollar bills, with
which TO fatten the intentions Of the
voters
Accordingly, the Jealous brother pro

bills. The money was Of recent issue. and
every one Of the bills was absolutely

INQUIRIES FOR FORESTER
Aged Man May Be Brother, and
Widow May Live Here.
Two Washington People Deeply In
teresJed In Identity of veteran
Buried in POtter's Field.

Charles r. FORESTER. a hale old man
Of seventy-two years. called on Inspector
Boardman yesterday morning and asked
for all the information obtainable con
corning George c. Forester. whose body
was recently taken from the potter s
field. near Elizabeth City. and relnterred
in the Soldiers Home in Hampton
Nothing definite has been learned by the
police in regard 10 the relatives of the
man. although 1t is probable that as soon
as the photographs sent by Inspector
Boardman reach his former home, some
discoveries can he made
Charles Forester said ne had a brother
who would by this time be eighty years
old, but whom he had not seen for forty
five years Their last meeting was be-
fore the civil war, when his brother en-
listed in the army and went of with one
Of the Maryland regiments He ex.
pressed himself as satisfied that the dead
man was his brother. from whom he had
had no word since that time. 1t had been
his impression that George Forester was
among the unknown dead in the war. and
he was startled to see the name in the
head lines of a newspaper.
Another interested person who made in
quiries yesterday was Mrs. J. c. Forces
ter, of COS Ninth street northwest. who.
when seen last night. made the following
statement:
Il was married to J. c. Forester thirty
years ago in St Matthew's Church, in
this city At that time he was in the
merchant sailing service and operated
principally about the South American
coast He lost several cargoes in the
hurricanes there, and at the time that
he left me. FIFTEEN years ago. he was
engaged in the repairing OF china. We
separated by mutual consent. I keeping
our two boys, who are now grown. Since
then I have seen him but once. That
was three years ago. when he came 70
Washington from Elizabeth City
Although did not learn whether he was
living there permanently, ! know that he
spent a great deal Of time in that section.
He was In the navy in the civil war
and was shot during the action in Hamp-
ton Roads while I'm service on one Of the
Federal ships The fact that he has lived
In Virginia for some time past makes me
think that the dead man is my husband
OF course. if I can definitely decide that it
Is so We viii have the manner of his
death investigated and see that his grave
lacks nothing of the respect that is due
aii cid soldier"
Mrs Forester placed some photographs
in the hands of the inspector, who has
sent them 10 Hampton for Identification.
The body OF the man was first buried in
the potter's field near Elizabeth City and
10 the sheriff of that town is due the
credit fer having it eXhUmed and placed
IN the national soldiers home cemetery
in Hampton.

CANNOT SPEAK JAPANESE.
Daughter OF Jap Minister Knows
Nothing of His Language.

1t is rarely the case that a child is IN
able to speak the language of lis father
or the language Of its nationality When
this peculiar phenomenon occurs IN the
home of one of the ablest diplomats aC-
credited 10 this country, who is residing
in this city. the odd fact attracts a most
interesting significance.
The japanese Ambassador, Vicomte
Aoh. married q German countess. and,
IL is said. it is due TO her influence that
Miss Aoki the daughter Of the Ambas-
sador and his wife, does not speak the
language of her father or OF the country
which her brilliant father represents az
the seat Of the American government
with such signal success. Miss AOzi
speaks huently German. French. and
English. but JapanesE-Bo. Before her
father the vicomte. was transferred TO
his post here. he occupied the position
as japanese Minister 10 Emperor VIII
iem's court. where ne spent many years.
and where he first met his present wife.
Miss Aoki. the daughter was born In
Berlin. Germany. and It may be that this
fact contributed considerable TO keep her
from acquiring the language OF her
country. thus assisting the determination
OF her mother. who. II seems. objected
to her daughter learning japanese.
