Bymaster & Co. operate the largest dry goods store in North Salem. They carry a mammoth stock of all sorts of dry goods, clothing, shoes and millinery displayed on 2,600 feet of floor space. They have a very large trade which is owed entirely to j1S

the energy and business capacity of himself and wife. Bert Pace is the young editor and publisher of the Herald. He began as "devil" in the office in 1891 and became owner in October, 1898. He is quite a hustler and his paper is a "warm number."

Harry Davidson has handled tailormade clothing as agent for a Chicago manufacturer for years. He is also manager of the Givens drug store. Both businesses are prospering.

Moody Bros, have a large stock of groceries, queensware, glassware, cigars and tobacco. This is a new firm, but both men have had a large business experience which they bring to their aid in this business.

AND

Uncle Sam's Redemption Bureau and the Work of Its Experts—Holes of the Department and Schemes For

Cheating the Government.

There are several experts employed by the government to inspect the currency offered for redemption. In fact, every person employed in the bureau is in some degree an expert, becanss each one of them has to pass on the genuineness of the money presented for redemption. and this is a difficult task. Remember that this money comes to the treasury, as a rule, only when it is so badly worn that it will not pass carrent. This dirty, torn, greasy, ragged money the experts have to handle and decide whether it was issued by the government and should be redeemed at its face value or whether it is the work of counterfeiters an^ should be rejected. It is not at all to the discredit of the experts of the bureau that some bogus money has got past them and been detected in one of the offices to which the pieces of the money go for further examination. This does not occur often.

The peculiar province of one expert is not to detect bad money—though she is an expert at that—but to put together torn pieces of money sent in for identification and redemption. These pieces of money come from all parts of the country and arrive under most extraordinary conditions. This is not surprising in view of the fact that they come from experiences with fire and water and gastric juicee and many other powerful agents. A not infrequent accident to money is to be left in a stove, whence it is taken in a badly charred condition, with only ashes to represent the greater part of it. Often it is nsed by rats to make their nests, or, buried in the dampness of a cellar, it rots away, or, swallowed by a cow, it is rescued from her stomach a slimy mass of paper

Here are the rules of the treasury for the redemption of mutilated money For a piece of currency greater than two-fifths and less than three-fifths of the original note one-half the face value of the note is given. For a piece as great as three-fifths the whole value of the note is given. For a piece two-fifths in size of the original nothing is given. But this last provision is limited by the law. which gives discretion to the treasury department to give full value for a note if the owner cau prove to the satis faction of the authorities that the note, or the missing part of it. was destroyed This last provision opens the door to possible fraud, and many are the efforts made by dishonest persons to take advantage of it

The fragments of money which come to the treasury are turned over to one of the experts and sorted out under the miscroscope for identification. They are picked apart, and each tiny piece is assigned to its place like a part of a puzzle This is usually done on glass, and the fragments are eventually put between pieces of glass to hold them together whiie/ they are measured to see whether there is two-fifths or threefifths of the note identifiable or whether it is so little that the owner can recover nothing Sometimes it is a very

seriouB

matter to the owner, but the poor are not the only applicants for assistance to recover damaged money At the time W Vanderbilt's beautiful home at Newport was burned Mrs. Vanderbilt sent in about $1,000 in mutilated ourrency. out of which the expert was able to identify for redemption all ,lint a fraction of the snm

It it is uut alone mutilated money that comes to the treasury, but dirty and worn money of all kinds, to the extent of nearly $500,000,000 a year

Sometimes counterfeits get past the experts in this bureau and are caught in the other bureaus to which the halves are sent when the packages of old notes have gone under the knife and been di vided up for counting and identification before they are destroyed. But this is not the most frequent form of attempted fraud The mutilated money offers the easiest path to this sort of crime.

Some of the experiences of the redemption division with would be thiev.'s are interesting One man in Kauris sent to the treasury the halves of si me small bills with the edges nicely charred, accompanied by an affidavit from the sender that he had put the money in his pocket, hung his coat on a fence and that the coat had been burned, to the destruction of part of the notes It happened that the treasury had redeemed the other halves of these notes just two and a half years before for a money broker on the Bowery, in New York. and. thinking the case sua J. picious. had kept en eye out for the impossibility of attempted fraud. Tb*

Kansas man was a person of good busi ness standing and his bankers threat ened the treasury officials with dismissal if they questioned his affidavit. They put the case in the bands of the department of justice, and eventually the man pleaded guilty and was fined $1. 000

A bank in Alabama received from a depositor a fragment of a $10 bill, and the treasury people paid $5 for it Later came a claim accompanied by the other part of the bill, a little charred, with an affidavit saying the sender had burned the remainder of the note by mistake

A Chicago man sent in fragments of two $20 bills and one $10 bill with an affidavit telling how the other halves had been destroyed, and in the same mail the other halves of these notes came in from a Chicago bank A special agent caught the maker of the affidavit. who proved to be the tool of some swindlers, and he was sent to prison for a year and ington Star ...7.'

WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES

Novel Features of Campaigning With the Flying Brigade.

MILITARY METHODS OF FILIPINOS.

fhelr I tter I.nek of the Organising Faculty and Knowledge of the Art of Offensive Warfare Hon Their

SlanKhter Occurs—American Reiralars and Volunteers Compared.

The New York Post's correspondent, writing from Pasig, Philippine Islands, nnder the date of March 16, about campaigning in the Philippines, says:

Campaigning in the Philippines with the flying brigade presents many features of warfare novel to the American soldier, as well as the many that are common to tb.ejoldier'sjife in the field everywhere. The naturVof the enemy and big methods of warfare are different from those usually met with when nations agree to disagree and seek to compel an agreement from each other nnder duress, ttts skulking instincts and bushwhacking proclivities require a modification of ordinary ipilitary methods and call for the injection of a tnodicum of plainhorse sense into the application oj accepted military theories. ~n thy humble opinion, there has not leen enough of this at times, and much less has been accomplished than might have been by this time in consequence. The policy pursued has been marked with extreme caution and conservatism, well enough, to be sure, with an organized army to contend with, but not so necessary when the undisciplined army of tha insurgent government has to be dealt with.

I have been in the island nine months and have had ample opportunity to study the Filipino's character, watch his military methods and observe his utter lack of the organizing faculty which is so strong a characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon. With an army three times the size of ours, two-thirds of it well armed and supplied with an abundance of ammunition, the insurgent general has not been able so to handle his force as to strike an effective blow anywhere. True, he Jacks cavalry and artillery, but he would not know how to handle them effectively if he had them. However, if he could concentrate 20,000 men, and throw them against our lines at any point, he could break those lines and wall them up by the flanks in both directions: but this is just what he cannot do. The Filipino does not possess the organizing faculty sufficiently to assemble and handle such a force as a Unit. He seems able only to put arms in the hands of thousands of men and (hen let them fight as individuals and Separate bodies as circumstances dictate. He does not understand the art of offensive warfare. His instinct and training are to fight always from cover, and this utterly unfits him for the offensive.

Such being the case, the strictly defensive attitude of the American army during the past month, during which the four best campaigning weeks of the whole year have slipped by unutilized, has been an ultra conservative one. The movement now on foot, where 4,000 men of all arms are being sent out as a flying brigade to hit the enemy, capture his strongholds and break up what organization he has, might well have been begun a month agp, with men taken from the army already assembled and acclimated, and Manila have been fully protected by the remainder against any attack while the enemy was being harried. The trouble was that military theories did not teach this, and the enemy was given credit for military skill and offensive powers he does not possess.

The work of the flying brigade the past few days has, demonstrated this completely. The Filipino is tenacious and pugnacious, but not valiant in the true sense of the word. When driven from one stronghold he does not stop running until he finds shelter behind another. He does remain behind his intrenchments under the hottest fire until flanked or rushed out, but he keeps down out of harm's way and fires over the top without rising up to see what he is shooting at and thus inflicts little damage. It is when he finally breaks cover and runs that our men get in their deadly work, shooting with the coolness, care and accuracy of

ed marksman The troops show the greatest eagerness to make every shot count and expose themselves recklessly to accomplish it. They show a zest in fighting that makes it difficult to restrain them. Thi» was illustrated by a remark made by General King on the morning of Feb 5, when the Idahos charged the intrenchments of the enemy near Santa Ana. It was his intention only to advance a short distance, but the men had been held in leash all night and until the middle of the forenoon under a heavy fire, and when told to advance they started on a run, with wild yells, for the Filipino intrenchments. General King saw that it was useless to call them back, and, turning with a smile to his staff, he said, "There goes the American soldier, and all hades couldn't stop him." The result showed that the men knew by instinct and long ac qnalntance with the Filipino much better how to fight him than the genera) did with his military theories, for they jumped the insurrectos out of their intrenchments and killed scores of them without losing a man, while if they had made the cautious advance intended they would probably have suffered severely. This eagerness to fight is displayed by the volunteers more than the regulars, for the reason that the volunteers enlisted simply because they wanted to fight, and the regulars did not have this as their chief motive.
