THE FATE OF THE FoReERs.

On Tuesday morning, March 7, 1775,
Mr.. Robert Perreau walked into the
banking house Of Drummond Brothers,
at Charing Cross. He was greeted
cordially by the bankers, for Mr.. Per-
reau, although merely an apothecary,
was a Napoleon among apothecaries,
and was welcome guest at the houses
of the great. Within a week the bank
ers had seen him at Lord Egmont's
and Lady Lyttleton's. On the occasion
Mr.. Perreau was full of business.
Producing as security a bond for
$4,000, signed by William Adair,
whose signature would be honored at
any banking house, he asked for the
loan of $4,000.
The banking brothers scrutinized the
document closely, and Henry Drum
mond said: "It doesn't look like the
signature of Mr.. Adair."
"It isn't the signature Of William
Adair," agreed Robert Drummond. II
have seen his signature hundred
times and know it as well as my own
"There is no doubt about It," said he

solicitor. and by Thomas Stark, his
servant"

Henry Drummond. "Let US go and see

goat, they went to Bon street and
laid information against "the female
forger." This cowardly attempt to pro-
tect themselves at the expense of the
woman who had risked everything to
save them, deprived them of public
sympathy in the time to come. when
they needed it most. The judges took
the measure of Robert Perreau, and
sent him as well as the woman to
prison. The next day Daniel Perreau
followed them. This Daniel was a
great fop, who cut wide swath among
the macaronis. He and Robert were
twins, and greatly resembled each 9TH
er in appearance, but Robert was n
keen business man, a money maker,
while Daniel was q wastrel. Both
brothers were speculating in Exchange
alley, and it was this that led them to
forgery.
The story of what followed in the
courts is too complicated to be de-
tailed in brief narrative. Mrs. Rudd,
who had been the ally of the brothers,
was infuriated by their treachery, and
became their bitterest enemy. She tes-
tilted that she did sign the bond, as she
had confessed, but did it in fear of her
life, Daniel standing over her with an
open knife until it was done. She had
committed other forgeries under simi-
lar conditions. These other forgeries
began to turn up, and they totaled an
enormous sum.
The public interest in the Perreau
case was so great for a year that even

case, and every man who could charter

Mrs. Rudd, and thereby created sym

thing he didn't want to do. And Mrs
Rudd had her champions among the

SOME INSTRUCTIONS THAT MAY
BE OF SERVICE.
Two Cardinal Points Are Cleanliness
and Complete SteriIization-Just
E.ow These May Be Most
Easily Attained.

There seems to be belief by the
general public that there is something
mysterious In the commercial canning
process. The great secret Of this
process is careful observance OF
two things-cleanfines and complete
sterilization.
Fruits and vegetables can be put
up" in glass jars or tin cans ut home
much cheaper than they can be pur-
chased in the form of commercially
canned goods, and the flavor, texture
and general quality of the homemade
product can be made superior to the
product of the average factory, writes
S. b. Shaw, recognized expert OF
South Carolina.
Minute forms of life which we call
bacteria are present everywhere In
untold numbers. The air we breathe
the water we drink, and the food we
eat are teeming with them. These
bacteria are practically the cause Of
the "spoiling" or fermenting of the
various fruits and vegetables.
The reproduction of bacteria
which is very rapid, is brought about
by one of two processes. The bacteri
UNI either divides itself into two
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-08-25

parts, making two bacteria where one
existed before, or else reproduces IT.
self by means Of spores.
Spores may be compared with the
seed of an ordinary plant. These
spores present the chief difficulty in
canning the products Of the orchard
and garden.
All forms of bacteria are killed by
complete sterilization. This is moth
ing more than enclosing the products
to be sterilized In Jars or cans that
can be sealed alright. and submit
ting them to heat of sufficient degree,
for time long enough, to destroy
the bacteria that cause the raw ma
terial to spoil.
Sterilization is readily accom-.
plished by the use Of boiling water,
and there are three different ways in
which this can be done. While the
temperature OF boiling water, their
spores retain their vitality for n long
time even at that temperature.
Smaller factories, and the different
home canning outfits usually make
use Of the "open-kettle" process. Here
the cans are submerged in boiling wa
ter and kept at that temperature for
n time sufficient to destroy bacteria
and spores.
The third process, known rs frac.
tional sterilization, Is that of keeping
cans or jars in boiling water for spe.
clfied time upon each of two or three
consecutive days.
The process of boiling upon consecu.
tive days is the safest method, and IL
much to be preferred in home canning
The first days boiling kills practically
all the bacteria, but does not kill all
all of the spores.
AS soon as the jars or cans cool,
these spores develop. and a new loi
of bacteria begin their destructive
work on the contents.
The second days boiling kills this
new lot Of bacteria before they have
had time to produce spores.
Boiling the third day is not always
necessary. but 1t is advisable in order
to be sure that sterilization is com.
plete.
