Special TO The Herald.
CHICAGO. Sept. ia Colorado girl
who wanted certain school book or
dered it from a Chicago publisher 'It
sent the money for it, baked in bis
cult.
The sender explained that she was so
far from the money order selling ofllce
of any kind that she had no other
mode of sending the price than to
inclose it as she did. 1t was a quarter
that she sent. We often hear of clouds
with silver Innings, but here is a chunk
of dough with a silver filling.
The RaVenswood woman who tells the
story says that this is only one of many
Inventions of money-mailing people.
Their resources in contriving ways to
disguise the presence of coin or cur
rency in letters and packages seeming
ly are unlimited. Chicagos big stores
that handle heavy business through
the mails are able to recount some un-
usual methods. Some of the women
who send to Chicago for various artl-
cles are ingenious in this matter The
Colorado incident simply shows tn.
scope of the human mind in trying 10
outwit the thieves who occasionally
manage to slip into the federal service
The lost and found department. OF the
United States railway mail service in
Chicago produces some wonderful con-
ceits in concealing remittances. Ere
quently packages break open and dol
lars, halves, quarters and dimes roll
out of unheard-of hiding places. One
queer fact concerning the matter is
that after a person has taken unheard-
of pains to hide a remittance he will
do up his package so carelessly that it
breaks open with the slightest jar OF
jolt
In the Colorado book order the sender
sent with the biscuit a note telling
where the coin was secreted. The book
she wanted was Studies in French"

Entrance to List of Carpetbag- gers Probably Means End
 of Statehood Fight,
WILL BE UNITED STATES
 JUDGE IN PORTO RICO.
President ConferS Great Honor on New Mexican Who Tried to Link Two Territories Into One Unwilling State,

Announcement that Bernard S. pointed United States Judge for the district of Porto Rico by President Roosevelt has been the subject of much discussion among Bisbee people. who took an interest in the recent Statehood fight in Washington, b. c,
 Rodey's appointment is generally accepted to mean that he has aband. oned the fight for joint Statehood, in which he has been the moving spirit during the past two or three years.
 That Rodey intends to leave the country entirely and locate in Porto Rico is generally taken as an ac' knowledgment of defeat On his part otherwise he would remain in New Mexico and bear his breast in the battle.
 Those who have been iu Washing ton state that Rodey is exceptionally close to President Roosevelt, being ths fi.st to get from the chief executive a statement that he was in favor ol jointure. When Rodey first made this statement it caused a decided suI among the Statehood fighters.
 Several of those who went from Bis bee when the Statehood bill was on ir i the House and Senate few months ago yesterday expressed their satis faction in the turn things have taken Most of them expressed themselves ds believing that the effort to link tht two Territories will now be a thing of the past for the present at least. Rodey's object in his fight for joint ure is believed to have been desire on his part to get into the United States Senate, his plan being to be a candidate after the joining process had been completed. In this he would have had the backing of number oi prominent eastern Republicans.
 Rodey, of Albuquerque, was born tn 1856 in County Mayo, Ireland; moved to Canada in 1862; early years occu pied in farm work; moved to Vermont from Canada, thence to Boston, where he clerked in railroad office and read law.
 Rodey moved to New Mexico in 1881 and was made clerk of a railroad man ager. Was court stenographer of the Second Judicial District of New Mex leo in 1882. AdmNted to the bar in New Mexico in 1883 and has gone through the form of ''practicing since He was city attorney of Albu Querque in 1889, member of the Ter ritorial Council in 18S9-90- -,' Rodey says in his biography, print ed in the Congressional Directory, thai he is entirely self-educated," and speaks French and Spanish iuently.' All who ever heard him speak. how ever, know that he speaks English i'm perfectly.
 Rodey was delegate to Congress from New Mexico in the Fifty-seventf and Fifty-eighth Congresses and wal one of the first to take up the propo sition of uniting Arizona and New Mexico in Statehood. The present ap pointment is probably reward fol | that infamy.

Bremen May Ask City Council to Call Election of S25,-
 900 Bonds.
MONEY TO BE USED
 EXTENDING SYSTEM.
Fire Chief Henkel Says Bond Plan Will Be Worked out and Matter Placed Before City Council for Action.

Realizing that the city is without provements in the matter of better fire prtection, Fire Chief Henkel and the members of the fire department having practically decided upon ask ing the City Council to call an cleo tion for bond issue of s25,000, the money 10 be used in extensions of the fire-6ghting system of Bisbee.
 At a special meeting of the fire de partment to be held this evening at $ o'clock, Chief Henkei will outline the plan to his fellow-members and ask them that a committee be appointed to work out the details.
 With this committee appointed, and its report approved by the department at some meeting in the near future Henkel will then carry the fight into the Council chambers and there ask the Councilmen to call an election to give the people a chance to say whether or not they desire to vote the bonds.
 While I have not worked out the details" said Chief ,Henkel yester- day, "the scheme is to get bonds is
 
 money to be used installing bigger tanks, putting in a paid department with apparatus, an alarm system, and larger mains in the congested parts oi the city.
 Several with whom I have talked heartily approve of the plan, and be lieve that it will be money that could be spent to no better adantage. I be lieye that We need better fire pro lection as bad as we need a sewer; one is to protect life and the other to protect property.
 "In my opinion the amount of tax that would be levied to meet the bond issue would more than be saved to the property owners by lower rates ol Insurance, which 1t seems to me would be bound to come if we had adequate protection against fires.
 q intend to take the matter up witt the board of insurance underwriters as soon as the plan is fully worked our and learn from them what difference it would make in insurance rates. IT my opinion, it would be a difference that would amount to thousands of dollars every year to owners of prop erty in Bisbee.
 q have discussed the proposition with members of the City Council, everyone of whom were elected on platforms that pledged them to better fire protection, and they are all ready tc entertain the proposition. We cannot expect them to take the first step fol the reason that the city is without funds. We will present this scheme to them for their consideration" Tonight's meeting of the firemen will consider the matter of printing their bylaws. They had placed an or der for the printing with San Fran cisco firm and the copy of the bylaws was destroyed in the fire. A commit tee is now preparing another copy
