But the diamond is not the only
stone that has it's counterparts in ma

may with difficulty be distinguished
from Montana sapphires of the same

Certain pale blue sapphires have
their exact duplicates in spinels of
the same color. Abe oriental ruby,
which is a puzzle, Is very generally
duplicated by a softer mineral known
to commerce as the ruby spinel.
Certain shades of amethyst can
scarcely be told from Indian sap
phires. The orange colored sapphire
is precisely matched by the Madeira
topaz, which is merely quartz.
There are a variety Of cat's-eyes,

Monticello, N. Y.-After drinking
carbolic acid and swallowing a four
inch door-key, three-year-old Harry
Fulton is enjoying life as much as
any of his playmates.
Recently he found a bottle of acid
and sampled it. Prompt action of ply
sicians saved him. The other day,
presumably feeling the necessity of a
brass lining to his stomach for acid
experiments, he proceeded to swallow
the ancient door key. He shows no
ill effects, but the doctors say an op.

LONG CHASE AFTER COINERS
NEGRO AND WIFE SURPRISED IN
MEMPHIS DEN.
Made Silver Dollars So Perfect as 10
Almost Defy Detection by
Officials.

Washington, Aug. 31-A wavering
red line, struggling across a street
map of the city of Memphis, on the
wall at secret service Headquarters
here, records the story of a five years
hunt for a counterfeiter of silver dol
lars which reached it's climax in Mem
phls, with the arrest of John F. Payne,
negro, and his wife. For years the
dollars, which Payne is charged with
making, have been passing through
banks in Memphis and some have even
reached the sub-treasuries.
+ Eight months ago Assistant Chief
w. II. Moran sent "BilT' Nye to
Memphis. A few weeks later, at a ne
gro emancipation celebration at Padu-
cab, Nye picked up the first informa-
ton which led to the Identification of
Payne. Nye followed Payne back to
Memphis. Almost inch by inch Nye
began picking a trail through the
streets OF Memphis to Payne's house
Every day Moran in Washington, with
pen and red ink, recorded the prog
ress OF Nye's search upon map of
the city OF Memphis. A few days ago
the thin red line came to an end in
the suburbs, eight miles from the heart
of the city. 1t stopped in front of an
isolated farmhouse, surrounded by a.
nigh board fence, which made it i'm
possible for Nye to see in the windows.
Moran flashed a message to Mem
phls, and a few hours later Nye re-
ported the arrest of Payne and his
wife, as we'll as his seizure of several
of the counterfeit coins, the outfit for
making them and the genuine dollars
from which the moulds were made.
ON the counterfeits have been pc
culiar little dents and scratches. Nye
reported that he found them in the
genuine coins he took in the raid.

and his wife with the shooting OF Steve
Ferry, OF the Dayton Coal Mines. The
evidence introduced supported Mrs.
Banovitch's account of the shooting,
namely, that Ferry entered her room
in an intoxicated condition and threat
ened violence. and that she shot in self
defense. Both of the defendants were
discharged.
An incident of the trial was the ar
rest, upon the order of the Judge. of
three men on the charge OF being drunk
in court One of the trio was Steve
Ferry himself who. 1t seems, was un-
able to fight off the rum iend on the
Cay when 1t was most important that
he should. The other two who vio-
lated the sanctity of the courtroom
were George Butler. colored, and Joe
Paproborp. Polish miner of the Cay
