RARE COINS FORGED
THE COUNTERFEIT PIECES DO NOT
FOOL THE EXPERTS.

Dates Are Changed and Mint Marks
Are Initiated, but There Are Always
Little Things That Reveal the
Fraud-Even Cent Pieces Altered.
Rare United States coins can't be
counterfeited so as to pass muster"
said an old coin dealer emphaticaIly
There is no more chance Of die max
ers being able to make an exact coun-
terpart of coin than there is to mi
tate successfully the impression of a
mans thumb.
THAT there are limitations is true
enough, but they are clumsy. Most of
them are simple alterations OF date
They can be told at a glance by signs
as unfailing as the sun.
While the coins of a series of years
may seem at first glance TO be all OF
one exact pattern, yet close observa-
ton will reveal distinct differences.
No better illustration of this can be
shown than the rare cent pieces of
1894.
''Fifty-six distinct varieties of cents
were issued in that year, and all of
them closely resembled one another.
Careful study enables experts to tell
them apart. 1t was in this way that
coin experts found that there We're so
many different dies made for the cent
in 1874. for the mint records make no
mention of the fact
The favorite coin with those who al
ter dates is the rare 1899 cent. which
is worth $500 and more if in uncireu-
lated condition. The 17as cent is the
issue that most closely resembles this
cent, and this is the coin that is used
/ for alteration. No collector should be
/ taken in by one of these altered speci-
/ mems, for there were only two varieties
/ of the 1899 cent. and each has marked
differences from the coins of the previ-
i Gus year

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

There is something doing every mo- ment the De Roe Trio occupies the stage at the Jacques this week and half the success with which the act Is meeting is due 10 the speed with which the feats are executed. People who go to the theater want to be en- tertained every minute of the time and the performers who do it are the ones surest of appreciation. It's lit- tie hard on the players. but the re- suits justify the expenditure of the energy and that is why the De Koes make their work so effective. There are no weary pauses for breath and the tricks follow one after the other with a rapidity that Is astounding. Likewise there is not much time spent in sleeping iy the Keatons while their turn is on and from beginning to end the action goes along with a slam- bang rush that fills the eye and holds the attention of the audience resist lessly. The act is making even a greater hit than ever and Is one roar of laughter all the way. Violet Black and company. the Italian Trio. God frey and Henkeson. Couture and Gil lett. and Miss Josephine Davis are the other attractions. Prices are 10. 0 and 3O cents: afternoons 10 and D cents. ladies 10.

"INCOLN."

Benjamin Chapin will impersonate the role of Lincoln, em'bodying in the drama of the same name which comeG to Poli's Saturday afternoon and even- ing, many of the salient characteristics of Lincoln developed by him during the six years in which he gave his portrayal of the martyred president before lyceum audiences throughout the country. The scenic investiture of the play is most complete. Four of the five scenes were entrusted to the brush of Ernest Albert, who is recognized as
 he greatest historical scene painter in the country. Before beginning his
 york MT Albert visited the White House, in which the scenes are laid, and personally inspected the several apartments shown in order to repro duce them in detail and accuracy. The remaining scene Is from the brush of Merrifield, of almost equal reputation. The company includes such well known players as Maude Granger. Daisy Lowering, w. H. Pascoe, David Young, Malcolm Duncan, Frank Me- Ginn, R. H. Lewis, Francis Burton. George Clark and others. Prices are %, 50, 75 $1 and $50; matinee %, 35, 50 and 75. Telephone 1892.

Land of Original Blackmail.

England, according to Justice Philli- more, enjoys in some foreign countries the reputation of being the home of the blackmailer. Certainly Great Brit ain was at least the land of the orig lnal "blackmail." the mail" rent or tribute paid on the Anglo-Scottish and Highland borders by farmers to free booters in return for immunity from their visitations. In Ireland a similar institution was known as black rent" The old word mail" meaning rent. and coming either from the Anglo Saxon "mael." a portion. or the old French "maille," a halfpenny, is quite different word from the postal "mail." which is simply male" bag. To Coke and Blackstone "blackmail" had an innocent significance. meaning rent paid in labor or produce. as op- posed to white rent" paid in white money" silver.-N. Y. Globe.

Good King Christian of Denmark had a long reign, a reign full of days and honors. Soon after he ascended the throne, the gaining of Schleswig- Holstein by Germany made him very unpopular among his subjects, and he often longed to renounce the purple; but his queen was both brave and pa. tient and bade him wait. Ever her counsel was; Wait patiently; this wave of unpopularity will pass away, and you will be one of the most popu- lar and beloved kings who have sat upon the throne of Denmark" Her words proved prophetic; the other day, when Christian TX. died, the na- tion mourned with sincerest grief.
 But, as nations must, the people were ready to cheer for a new ruler, to cry, "The king is dead, long live the king!" And let us, the public, likewise bid hail to King Frederick VIII.
 Frederick ascends the throne at the ripe age of 63. Grown Prince Freder- ick and Princess Louise of Sweden were married July 28, 1869. They have eight children living. Their eld- est is Crown Prince Christian, mar ried to Princess Alexandrine of Meek lenburg; King Haakon of Norway,

NOON HOUR IS THE NINTH
Change of the Words Meaning Dates Back to Days of
 the Monks.

"Not many people know that what is celebrated as noon was originally 1t three p. m. The reason for the change is interesting" said Columbia university philologist the other day. Moon, or 'nones,' as 1t was then known, was the hour at which the monks said their 'nones.' which were prayers at .le ninth hour, or three o'clock. The monks reckoned time from the time of eating breakfast at six o'clock a. m. That was the be- ginning of their day. The monks were not permitted to eat their dinner un- til after they had said their 'nones.' This was a long time for. men who had so much time to think of eating. They were all very hungry at three o'clock. By and by some of them cut the time little short-prayed little earlier. As the time went on they clipped of enough time to bring the sating hour in its proper place. at mid day, and 'nones' became 12 o'clock in- stead of three. even though it meant the ninth hour"

Her stature is absolutely gigantic, be- ing over six feet two, and, so far as her fortune is concerned, she inher- ited s15,0O0,O0O from her maternal grandfather, Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, besides the entire wealth of her father, the late King Charles of Sweden. She is extremely fond of Paris, a fact which is attributed to the existence of French blood in her veins."
 As crown prince, the present king was very popular, his genial manners winning the affection of his people. Like his father, he, showed preference for simple ways, and both king and crown prince habitually walked the streets unattended, unless 1t might be by couple of Danish boarhounds. The royal pedestrians would stop and exchange greetings with passers-by in the most democratic fashion. .
 The new king and queen are pos sessors of much more wealth than were Christian and Louise, whose in- come from the civil list was not large and neither of whom had private fortune. The present queen, though 8 great heiress, has brought up her

HOW TO WASH THE FACE.
Cleanse Thoroughly at Night with Hot Water-Cream Should Be
 Preferred to Soap.

All the grime of the day should be thoroughly removed, at night and the pores of the face allowed free breath
 ing space, advises Mime. Hebe. In the next place, don't use soap and
 water on the face any more than is
 necessary. Now, am sure many soap-and-water fiends will exclaim: "Oh, I never can do without soap and water" We'll, those who want to use
 soap, and oftentimes hard or dirty
 water, can do so, and when they get good crop of wrinkles. and large pores they will wish they had taken my advice. A learned physician once took me to task for advising a cleans ing cream for the face, and said he always used soap and water, through the day, and from the very aorid con- dition of his skin, and quite as many wrinkles as his years would warrant. I could readily believe he used soap and water, and not the best soap in the world or the purest water.
 When compared his skin with . dainty. perfectly clean little woman's, with fine pores, clear. soft and deli, cately tinted, who for years had used only cleansing cream, and a dainty toilet water during the day, I then and there decided to stick to my opin- ion. It is necessary to use certain preparations of soap and hot water once daily, but this should be used at night, and after this a cream. When the pores are large and coarse don't expect to improve them by scrubbing the face, as you would the kitchen floor. The face should be treated with a great deal of respect and gentleness. Large pores will respond to persist ent massage, vapor and an astringent, but not to the scrubbing brush. Those who use water should never, never use hot in the morning, unless they also use cold. They can use hot wa- ter at night. and then a massage cream. When the muscles are relaxed, bathing with very cold water will help to make them nrmer. but see to 1t that the water is soft and clear.
 Those of my readers who wish to have clsar.. fine. unwrinkled skin. with the least trouble. try the fol- lowing rules. and I am sure in six months time you will feel well re- paid for the little extra time 1t may require and the extra pin money ex- pended. Take a warm bath every aft ernoon or night. and use bath brush. Cleanse the face with cleansing cream. or good soap. and warm water, followed by an application of cream. the last thing before retiring Sleep in a well ventilated room. Ten min utes' physical culture exercise in the and . cold sponge bath in q warm room; if not an sll-oyer sponge. at least the throat and chest. Dampen q towel with toilet water and wipe the face. or in cold water. omit ting soap.
