A Bogus *SO Bill That Easily Passed Through a New York Bank. A particularly fine counterfeit has been detected at the Sub-Treasury. It is the production of a pen and ink artist, who did his work so well that the bill passed through one of the city banks cf New York without attracting suspicion. The counterfeit Is of a SSO greenback of the series of 1880. The operator photographed a genuine hill, getting a light picture. Then he went over the photograph With ink, turning out a j marvelously fine piece of work The 00l- j oring is excellent, the design clearly repro- , duced, and the lettering far more accurate than is usually the case. The paper is good and has almost the right “feel" Of course one or two details were neglected, but they were not of a kind to attract attention. “Act of March 3, 1863,” appearing over the vignette of Frauklln on the genuine bill, was omitted on the counterfeit. •Engraved and printed at the Bureau of Engraviag atrd Printing” is also missing, possibly because the artist did not care to burden his soul with unnecessary lies.
