Observer Passier, of this city, reported to the Weather Bureau at Washington to-night a s follows: "The Ohio river, in the upper flistrict. is above danger lines. It will pass the danger line at Cincinnati, CO feet, at 9 a. m. Monday. Timely warnings have been Issued throughout this district. No avoidable loss should occur ;ere." At 6 p. m. to-night the river here was 47 feet. All tho,- along the river front have been busy to-day moving goods in anticipation of the crest to-morrow. Most of the river men predict a st?K of over 54 Xeet, and somo expect the tlood to cejual that of last April, when it was oJ.l feet "here. All the (Jorges Out. KVANSVII.LK, Ind., March 2. The Ohio frivcr is rising rapidly and river men r.re rxpectlng a hit? Klage. The river is about twenty-live feet to-night, which is ten ft-tt tinder the danger line. The cold weather of the past few hours in this vicinity, it is believed, will check the tlood. The high water mark here is forty-seven feet, which was reached in lvl. All the gorges between this port and Cairo have broken and run out. 1,1 1 v 12 A VAST LAKi:. flood nt AVilkelnrre I tin In the High Itreonl of ls;r. WILKLSBARUi:. Pa., March 2. A heavy rainfall and rush of water from its upper tributaries caused the north branch of the usquehanna river to rise rapidly to-day. lAt S o'clock this morning it was twentyIdnc feet above low-water mark and at jioon had reached the thirty-foot mark. t 10 o'clock this evening the gauge showed thirty-one feet and three inches. It is thought that there will be another rise of a few inches before the water recedes. Today's high-water mark is equal to that of 3Se5, which has always been known as a record breaker. The water is over the banks of the river from Pittston to Nantleoke and resembles a vast lake. Nearly ne-half of the city is under water. At y'et Moor, Firewood and Riverside nearly All residents vacated their houses. The water had reached the first stories and v,as gradually going up to the second. Those, who lingered too long had to be removed in boats. The cellars of the Sterling and Wyoming Valley hotels and many rnercantlle houses in the central part of the city were filled with water early in the lay. The people living on River and adJoining streets, which is the principal resilience portion of the city, were hemmed In by the water and are unable to leave their homes unless by boats. All the streets in Wet Pittston are under several feet of water. Two hundred families living in lowlands In the town cf Plymouth had to leave their houses FAIR WEATHER TO-DAY.

hastily this afternoon, the water covering the first floors and putting out the fires. The body of Mrs. Rowland, who died this afternoon, had to he removed from the premises on the boat, as thre was elangpr of the house being carried away. Dr. W. J. Butler had to be rowed in a boat to a house at Uiverside to attend a woman who shortly afterwards gave birth to a child. Imports, from the mines show that many of them w re-tinoded. and it will take some

days before they can be pumped out. This i will curtail the output of coal. j Nine lives have been lost so far. The ! casualties for the past twenty-four hours alone were three. The property loss is already estimated at $1. William I'. He Illy hired a cab from Richard Breckert to drive him across the river to his house on Luzerne borough early this morning. The carriage, horses and occupants were caught in the swift current on the roadway above the Northstreet fridge and carried down stream. The horses were quickly drowned. ReiUy clung to a limb of a tree, but was drowned before, help could reach him. Breckert landed on a big cake of ice. His cries were heard in the darkness. Two men started after him in a boat, and after floating around on the ice for an hour he was rescued. The other victims were unknown. Ore is believed to be a tramp who had taken refuge in a. barn that had been swept away. 1V1TIIIN ITS HANKS AUAI.X. Sehnvlklll Hirer Hun Tollen nt Philadelphia Train Hönning. PHILADKLPHIA, March 2.-The Schuylkill river is again within its banks and close to its normal conditions to-night. The work of cleaning up was begun during last night, and to-day the railroads which skirt the shores of the river resumed operation. The first train out of the Baltimore & Ohio depot, at Twenty-fourth ' and Chestnut streets, left at 7:: o'clock this morning for the West. The last train out of the depot previous to the Hood left on Friday evening. Service to Pottsville and Heading over both tho Pennsylvania and Heading roads from this city is also again In full operation. The destruction wrought by tho storm was so great that many industrial establishments along the river banks will be unable to resume work for several days. Quite a number of buildings used for manufacturing purposes had thtir foundations weakened and niacninery clogged with mud. Thousands of persons visited the scenes of the flood to-day and watched the hundreds of workmen clearing away the debris and pumping the water out of cellars of houses and other buildings. All reports from up river points carry the information that great damage was done. The various towns, now that the water has receded, are rapidly recovering their normal conditions. Electric light plants, street railways and water companies are resuming work as best they can. The big iron works at Pottstown, which suffered considerably from the swollen waters, will partially resume operations to-morrow, as will also numerous other industrial plants located along the upper Schuylkill. At Pottsville rain fell heavily all day, which resulted in sending the river up slightly at that point, but no further damage is apprf funded. The indications tonight are that not one coal mine in Schuylkill county will resume operations to-morrow. Most of the mines were flooded by swollen mountain streams. The Lehigh Valley railroad branch, from Pottsville to Lizard creek, on the main ilne of the road below Mauch Chunk, resumed operations to-day. OLD IllimCii: WRECKED. Two Piers of the Old Camel-Back: at Harrlslinrs: Washed Away. HARRISBURG, Pa., March 2. The second and third piers of the famous okl camelback bridge, on tho Ilarrisburg side, were washed away by high water early to-day. The bridge was built in 1S16, and was probably the oldest bridge across the Susquehanna river. It Is owned by Harrisburg capitalists, and will immediately be rebuilt. Much damage has been done by the high water in and about Harrisburg. The Pennsylvania railroad's steel bridge, at Rocki ville, is in danger, and tho company is sending its trains over the Cumberland Valley bridge, at Bridgeport. Three of the piers are badly elamaged, and if tho water goes much higher it is expected that the damaged section will be carried away. The water has done no damage to the fl.OOVKiO bridge which the company is building at Rock ville. The Pennsylvania steel works, at Steclton. and the iron and steel mills In South Harrisburg have been forced to close down on account of water in the flywheel pits. South Harrisburg is under water, and many of the families in that locality are living in the upper stories of their homes. Last night 2) persons sought safety in the schoolhouse at Lochiel. The water has been receding since noon, although it is feared it will again rise when the volume of water up the river comes down. Streetcar travel between Harrisburg and Steelton Is badly crippled by high water. The Pennsylvania railroad tracks between Mlddleton and South Harrisburg arc covered with water in some sections. Many Flood-Hound Travelers. SCRANTON, Pa.. March 2. Incessant rain all day caused tho Lackawanna to begin to rise again at noon, and In five hours it had increased its depth thirty inches. It had recedeel five feet prior to this, however, and when the rain ceased at nightfall danger of a repetition of Friday's Hooding subsided. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Company was tied up Saturday night by the overflowing of the Delaware at Delaware water gap and a washout at Klmhurst. Traffic was resumed at noon to-day. It is the only road, except the local line of the Delaware & Hudson, that is now open. Hundreds of flood-bound travelers from Wilkesbarre are flocking here to get to New York and Philadelphia. Joseph Gallagher, a fourteen-year-old boy, was drowned by a bridge falling: Into the river and James O'Malley, a miner, thirty-tivo years old. who has not been seen since Saturday mornintj. is supposed to have lost his life in crossing Keesseyar creek white on his way home from work. IX NEW YORK STATE. Floods Are Interfering; with the Running of Trains. NEW YORK, March 2. The floods along the New York Central & Hudson River "Railroad are interfering extensively with the tratlic, according to reports given out at the Grand Central station in this city. No through trains for the West were being dispatched in the afternoon and evening. The 3:33 p. m. train for Albany left on time, but went only to Hudson. No passengers would be taken beyond that point, as bridges are down and tracks washed away between Hudson and Albany. The greatest trouble, however, was reported at points along the main line between Albany and Uuffalo, where trains are stalled or have not been sent out because of the floods along the line. All day long hundreds of travelers wishing to reach Rochester. Syracuse. Buffalo. Detroit and Chicago were In despair and makingr anxious inquiries as to when trains wouid start for those points, only to be told by the station master ."It might be any minute and it might be hours." The Southwestern limited, due at 7:55 this morning, was seven hours late, while the Chicage express, due M 10 a. m., and the seccnd section of the Southwestern limited, the Buffalo express and the Atlantic express, ail due in the morning, were not heard from up to a late hour In the afternoon. A flood at Yonkers has caused the wrecking of the steel and granite viaduct located between that city and Hastings. The viaduct showed no si;ns of giving way. and was used all day by e irriages, cars and foot passers. Thi afternoon, as a trolley car was passing over it. the strm ture hean to sway. Passengers and ieilestrians made a rush, and Just as all had cleareel the bridge it slipped from its place i owing to the sinking of uu- of tho pillars, but it did not drop into the water. It is, 41 however, in a dangerous position. ! Dispatches from Rochester. Blr.Khamton. Otean. Elmira and eis where say the floods are the worst on record. Hundreds of houses are under water. Elood reports are general to-niht from every part or New England. The Indications in eastern New England are that the freshets will not do anything like the damage the high water in the early winter did miles the thaw continues heavy and without a break over the watnr sheds of the Penobscot and Kenr.ehee rivers. In southern New England, und especially Massachusetts, the r.ow has gone entirely, and ine" maw is inns noeo. nie u. image uone and likely to come is along the streams

which turn the wheels of mills, employing in the aggregate lOO.Ou) operatives or more.

LehiRh Valley Track Submerged. ITHACA, N. Y.. March 2. The water, which has been poured into lower Ithaca from all gorges during the past two days, continued to rise steadily to-day. To-night the Lehigh Valley Railroad tracks south of tho city are completely submerged and no trains have reached here from the south since Friday. Traffic over this part of the road cannot, it is thought, be resumed for several clays. The Delaware. Lackawanna Sr Western trains reach the city with great difficulty and several trains have been unloaded on West Hill, the passengers being brought in on 'buses. llnmlet Wiped Out. FORT PLAIN. X. Y., March 2.-The hamlet of Sprakers, six milts east of here, has ben almost wiped out by the continued forces of water and fire. Sprakers i3 made up of fifty families, and has been under water for two days. Great masses of Ice came elown the river and struck the houses, some of which were so shaken that stoves were overturned and the dwellings burned. One end of the West Shore bridge was moved eighteen inches just a few minutes .i.'ter a fast passenger train had dashed oer it. iti:hso siffi:hs again. Part of the Recently Flre-Srept Citr .otr Under Water. PATE RS ON, N. J., March 2. This city, so recently swept by fire, is now overwhelmed by flood. Three weeks ago the greater part of its business section was burned out, aul to-day the quarter occupied by the houses of the poorer class is inundateel. Hundreds of families have been made homeless by the overflow of the Passaic river, and the country for mile3 around the city i.s under water. So far but one death has been rcporteel. The great, peril now is that tho Sprucestreet raceway may overflow, in which event a great loss of property in the manufacturing districts is sure to ensue. The raceway supplies power for most of the mills alons the water front. At this point the city authorities have placed expert engineers, who are Instructed to touch off a blast of dynamite, which will open a new channel for the immense volume of water held there, and by diverting it to the bed of the river in a new direction the authorities hope to save a great deal of valuable property. In a cliff, about seventy feet below the Spruce-street bridge, the experts have placed mines of dynamite, which, if it Is found necessary, will be exploded. The fire of three weeks ago, while causing a damage to property to the extent of nearly $S,mj.W0, did not create such suffering and widespread desolation as the flood of to-day. The district for a mile along tue river front, from Spruce street hill to Straight street, and two blocks north and five blocks south of the river, nearly half a mile in width, is covered with water which in many instances reached to the second story of the dwellings. In this district are situated the Rogers locomotive works and several silk mills and dye works. Near by live fully six hundred families who have been driven from their tenemnts. Several hundred of these people were taken from their houses in boats and bargs amid scenes of much excitement. An effort to reach Governor Murphy today failed. Acting Mayor Brogan opened the Fifth Regiment armory as a temporary residence for the homeless families, more than a hundred of whom are housed there to-night. The citizens of Paterson were more than generous in their gifts to the sufferers. Several wagonloads of blankets, clothing and provisions arrived at the armory from all quarters of the city, the most prominent of the donors being Mrs. Hobart, wielow of the late Vice President. In the work ejf rescue one of the most earnest toilers. Henry Richards, a carpenter, lost his life. After making several successful trips, on each of which he brought three or four persons, hie boat was upset and he was swept away in the waters, which were rushing with the force of a mill race. He clung to the branch of a tree for nearly half an hour, but in spite of many attempts to reach him, he finally disappeared in the muddy waters. Chief of Police F. C. Graul and Fire Chief John Stagg were indefatigable in their exertions for the relief of the distressed and were ably assisted by the city employes of every elepartment. There was a lack of boats to cope with the emergency and Secretary Dill telephoned to Newark for help in this direction. This request was tiuickly answered by the Newark people, who sent a wagon load of boats, a dozen in all. which arrived in good time to give excellent service. The cry of fire was heard about 1 o'clock in the afternoon and it looked as if the elements were ceimbining to elestroy the city. The fire broke out in Oates's drug store at the corner of Hamilton avenue ami Main street. The firemen, many of whom were helping to remove the people from the deluged district, jumped at their posts and were soon harel at work fighting the flames. There was a brisk wind blowing, but the blaze was confined to the drug store building, whuch was burned out. The loss was estimated at fo.oiio. During the three hours that the men were working another alarm was turned In, but the blaze was insignificant. On Hamilton avenue, near the river, the foundations of two new buildings were undermined by the flood and the structures collapsed and were swept away in the stream. The Arch-street bridge collapsed In the afternoon, the abutments on both shores being swept away. All the other bridges are completely submerged, cutting off communication between the two sections of the city. The boilers and engine rooms of several of the big mills are ten feet und?r water. Many of the mills are said to be covered by flood Insurance. So far the mills are believed to be safe, and the main loss will be caused by the enforced cessation of work until the waters recede. The danger to the city from the flood. and especially from the raceway, was diminished late to-night, when it was no ticed that the water in the river had begun to recede. At 10:20 it had gone down a foot. ami the citizens began to hope the worst was over. The Hillman-street bridge, a steel span, went into the river late to-night. Passaic In Darkness. PASSAIC. X. J.. March 2. The flood In the Wallington section of the city seems to be slowly rising and the whole lowlying quarter of the city is submerged. The city is in darkness, owing to the Hooding of the plant of the electric light company. The Lynohurst bridge is gone, and the Erie bridge at Riverside and the county bridges above are in great danger. Fifty city blocks are under water, varying from a few inches to seven fejt. Two-thirds of all the mills are under water, and the river, which Is usually 300 feet wide, is now three-quarters of a mile wide at Wallington. There have been several houses swept away in Wallington all in a straight line, or nearly so, ami it is thought the river is eating a new channel through' the heart of the section. Three lumber yards have not a foot of timber left to-night. By the action of water in the Morrcll Company's lumber yarcLs some lime was wet and a lire was started, which burned up the oflice building and lumber in the yards, causing a loss of $300,000. The DelaiTiire Hlver Falling. TRENTON, N. J., March 2.-The Delaware river reached its greatest height here about 3 o'clock t"his afternoon. At that time it was fourteen feet above the normal level. The river is full of Ice, and the water is rushing through in torrents, and thousands of the people vilted the river banks today. Very little damage is being done by the rise in the river as far as the actual destruction of property is concerned. Fair stre-et. in Trenton, and Mill street, in Morrisville. which are along the river edge, are overflowed at thir lowest point, and some twenty-rive families are obliged to ue boats to get to and from their homes. The basement of the print mill of Go'.ding Sons ! oiPny ,s f'ed. and the company is obligeel to cease operations. dipt. Allen und Ilrotlier Drnunnl. MONTGOMERY. Ala., March 2.-Capt. Charles A. Allen and his brother Thomas Alle::, of this city, were drowned in the backwater? of the Alabama river this afternoon about 4 o'clock. The young men were drlvirg along a high embankment with backwater about fifteen feet deep on each sidt-. A heavy breaker from the threemile wide river dashed against the embankment and frightened their horse, which reared up and fell backward on the buggy, pushing lt and Its occupants into the deep water. Both were drowned. Capt. Allen w? 1 the Stat Mien was on or the best-known men in e. He formerly was chief clerk

in the adjutant general's office and was state ordinance officer for a number of ye-v- At the time of his death he was captain of the Montgomery Blues, one of the oldest military organizations in the United States. Beth bodies were recovered.

Drowned In the IHK Sandy. PIKEVILLE. Ky.. March 2.-Frank Tyree, of Catlettsburg, Ky., and Lewis Sciimidt, of Portsmouth, O., both prominent traveling men, were drowned in the Big Sandy near here to-day by the overturning of a boat in which they were traveling down stream. Edward Burke, of Catlettsburg, Ky., a traveling man also who was with them, seized hold of a sawlog and floated with the tide several miles before being rescued. Neither of the bodies has been recovered. Severe Storm at San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, March 2. A heavy southeast storm passed over thi3 city and vicinity last night. The principal damage was sustained by telephone and telegraph wir2S. Communication with interior towns and the East was absolutely cut off for several hours. The heavy winds blew poles down In all directions. The bay was unusually rough and the ferry service between this city and Oakland was discontinued until thismorning. Fire Lives Reported Lost. ASHEVILLE, N. C. March 2. Five lives are reported to have been lost in Marshall during the storm, and reports from the sec tion of Western North Carolina say that two other persons are known to have perished in the flood. The damage to prop erty is estimated at from $50,0 to $75,000. REBELS ROUTED. Fifty Colombian Insurgents Killed or Woandcd in n Eight. COLOX, Colombia, March 2.

SHE PRETENDED TO BE A MAN. Woman Who Lived on an lee Floe All Winter for Excitement. BAY CITY, Mich., March 2. Thirty-five men, one woman and a team of horses escaped from a big floe of ice in Saginaw bay to the shore at Big creek, Tuscola county, to-day. The woman had been living on the ice all winter, her sex being unknown to the men. She was mannish in appearance and wore complete male attire with the trousers tucked in high boots.. Her sex was discovered yesterday when the party was making an effort to get ashore. The men proposeel swimming to shore if lt became necessary. The woman demurred, and, after some questioning, she admitted her sex. She had been backward about visiting among the other shanties on the ice all winter, preferring the seclusion of her own hut. She paid ehe had gone upon the ice partly for the excitement and partly for making money catching fish. Her home is in Sebawing. HUGO FETES OVER. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.)

Me., for New Bedford, with her rudder gone and leaking. The Peninsulir took off the captain and the two men on the American schooner and brought them to New York Nov. 10. The Kaiser May Send n War Fleet. BERLIN, March 2. It has not been officially announced here that Emperor "William has not decided to send a sepuadron under the command of Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia to the United States in 1903. But it i3 not improbable that a German squadron will go to American waters next year, though it is not likely that Prince Henry will be in commund, in so much as the reception now in progress ceulel not be repeated in its spontaneity and magnitude. Furthermore, Prince Henry will scarcely go to the United States again within a year. Asqnith Snpports Ilosehery. LONDON, March 2. II. H. Asquith, M. P., in a letter to the chairman of the East Fife Liberal Association, explains his reasons for supporting the new Liberal League of Lord Rosebery. Mr. Asquith fully indorses Lord Rosebery's home-ruie policj'. and points out that even Gladstone's magnificent courage and unrivaled authority failed to solve the problem because of tho rooted repugnance of the majority of the electorate of Great Britain to grant a parliament to Ireland.

ATTACKED BY A FOOTPAD

VICTOR E. SILYERIlt Rti SEVERELY J.XJl IlEI) AT 3Il.Mli:. Felled on a Public Corner ly au Unknown Highwayman Train Saved ! Two Roys. Precial to the Indianapolis Journal. MUXCIE. Ind., March 2. Victor E. Silverburg, proprietor of the Star and Andrews drug stores, and for five years a member of the Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners, was attacked by a footpad early this morning and murderously assaulted. He was felled to the sidewalk at the corner of Main and Liberty streets, two squares from the courthouse, with a blow behind hi3 left ear from a slugshot, making a dangerous wound that had to be sewed up. The man walked in front of Mr. Silverburg, but checked his gait until he passed by and then struck him. Silverburg is a small man, but while helpless on his back protected himself from further assault by kicking viciously and yelling at the top of his voice. This frightened the man away. Mr. Silverburg Is congratulating himself that he was not killed. The assault took place almost under an arc street light and Mr. Silverburg's voice was heard for squares, but people believed the yelling was the result of a drunken brawl and did not go to his assistance for some time. His valuables were saved. GAS I1EL.T EISTEDDFOD. Spirited Singing; Contest at Elwood List of Prise Winners. ELWOOD. Ind., March 2.

Several Men Burled, hat All Frobnhly Reseued Except One. TELLURIDE, Col., Feb. 2.-Two snowslides came down the mountain near the Bobtail mine to-day, the second burying several men at work clearing away the debris from the first. Henry II. Martin Is missing. Several were rescued with slight Injuries. In the first slide the resilience of Superin tendent Van Law, of the Smuggler Union mine, was earned away, but fortunately the occupants had moved out on instructions of Manager Collins, who feared for their safety. hile a force of men was clearing away the train the second slide, much heavier than the first, camo down with a crash, burying several of the workmen. The noise of the moving mass gave warning to the men, and they made a elash for safety. several ran to a projecting cll.T, which they thought was safe, but were knocked off into the snow pile by the edge of the slide. All but Martin, who Is thought to be buried under the mass of snow and rock, escaped with their lives, though sev eral were more or less seriously hurt. The worst slide of the many that have run within the past few days Is to come, it is feared. This is the Pandora slide, which runs between the Bullion tunnel and the Valley View mine. Its path takes the whole trail from Smuggler to the hanging rock and down the canyon to Pandora. Of late years it has not run. but on account of the recent heavy snowfall it Is expected at any moment. At 3 o'clock this afternoon a heavy snow commenced falling. This is the worst storm of the season, and will greatly in crease the danger from snowslides. OBITUARY. Capt. E. P. Ring, Who Tiloted the It. E. Lee in n. Fahiou Knee. ST.

The country is tired of Tillmans and Tlllmanlsm. The day cf the boor and rioter in public life is drawing to a close. Decency of speech and dignity of carriage are now held to be essential to the equipment of men who would serve the people in high station. No matter how brilliant may be the intellectual eiualltles of an elected representative, no matter how much rugged honesty he may control beneath a rough exterior, he will forfeit esteem and earn reprobation by such displays as have recently disgraced the senior senator from South Carolina and his Imitative nephew, the lieutenant governor of the Talmctto State. If Senator Tillman did not inspire the action of Colonel Tillman, which shaped an insulting request to the President of the United States, he would better say so at once. His own conduct is all that he can afford to answer for at the bar of public opinion. He helped most materially to make the 22d of February, 11X12, a day which will be always memorable in the history of the federal Senate, as the date of an occurrence as unfortunately disgraceful as it was fortunately unique. For his behavior on that occasion full atonement has yet to be made. He was rebuked by the President only because he himself defied the rebuke. He was not gratuitously insulted. He was invited courteously and considerately, privately and confidentially, to conform to the ordinary rules of official and social etiquette. This he declined to do, and the consequences are known to, and applauded by, the great mass of the American people. Losses hy Fire. ZANES VILLE. O., March 2. The large plant of the J. B.

Tillman's colleagues have simply invited hlo. to spit upem them again by tamely submitting to his abuse, and they have virtually failed to administer any punishment to him, since the censure does not hurt him in his own opinion. The only real discipline he is receiving is the discipline of public sentiment, which should be hostile enough In South Carolina to bring about bis reti rement from public life. In this affair, which has shamed the entire Nation, the Senate has adopted as its mot to. "Any senator can insult this body with Not Much Chance. New York Mail and Express.

Little Doing; in Counterfeiting, and that 1 DniiKerouit. New York Commercial. According to oilieers of the United States secret service and the best authorities In "crookdom" there Is a lull in the making of counterfeit bank notes and government greenbacks and sliver certificates. The old method of engraving was costly, the processes of concealing the work risky and the government had so perfected its system of capturing the gangs that there was little encouragement for them to continue in the business. As soon, however, as the new processes of photography can be applied to the art of counterfeiting by dishonest persons the work of "pjshlng the ejueer" will get lively again. Just at present It happens to be chiefly honest persons who have mastered the new photographic processes but the crooks won't be very long catching on. probably. The old way was the painstaking laborious engraving of steel or copper plates, requiring just as much skill, expense and time as the government Itself put into this class of work. The new way Is to use photography. Strangely enough, it was first called to the attention of the authorities by an honest man in Philadelphia a verj' skillful photographer. He made an anniversary book for a bank in which all the national bank notes and treasury notes and ctrtificates were reproduced so accurately that cold chills ran up and down the srincs ef the treasury olTlce-rs who are eharged with the duty of suppressing counterfeiting. He was warned and the plates from which the pictures were taken were surrendercel and confiscated by the. government. There is a regular monthly publication called the Bank-note Detecter. printed by private enterprise, but with the full approval of the government and even with its co-operation. It contains a full record and elescription of all the counterfeits ever issued, with fitting tributes to their good points and their shortcomings. Within the last few months, according to this authority, four or five discreditably creditable pieces of work have appeared. These counterfeits are for tho most rart of national bank notes and are distinguished by certain lefects in the printing of the faces of the distinguished citizens which adorn the notes. The Detector also recites that counterfeiting in the old way was made unprofitable by the exceeding activity of the se-cret-servlce officers. They discourage! the Industry most hardheartedly by making every effort to catch the engraver who did the work. They brought it to pass that few men with skill and the willingness to duplicate government notes were ever at liberty long at a time, and now that there are new tricks to be learned the 'business" languishes among the few crooks outside of penitentiary walls. Hut this lull is probably only the forerunner eif a reaction after the counterfeiters have learned the new arts of photography. Tim RW POSTAL CAIID. tVlien Four Million Ilnve Deen Dandled Will lie on Sale. Washington Star. A new one-cent postal card Is now being printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and when the first issue of 4.(X).000 has been counted and bundled the new card will le placed on sale, it distinctive feature is that the new card contains a vignette of President McKinley in lieu of President Jefferson's portrait. The issue or the Jefferson card will be discontinued when the present stock on hand Is exhausted. When desired by purchasers the new postal card will be furnished in sheets of forty cards each. It is expected this arrangement will effect a large saving to purchasers who have their messages or addresses printed on postal cards. In order to avoid the heavy black device at the top of the J fTeron card and leave a clear spaee for tb postmark the new postal card has thre lines of small type printed about an Inch below the top of the card. The card is thus divided laterally into two sectionsone for the postmark .and one for the address. The official description of the new carel Is as follows: "In the upper right-hand ce.rner I a portrait of the late President McKinley, three-quarters face, looking to the left, with the words 'postage One Cent above and 'im-MeKlnle y-l'l' b !ow the stamp and following its elliptical contour. Th portrait used for the subject of the stamp is one which was preferred by ?.Ir. McKinley himself. The stamp Is prnctirally devoid of orname nt. To the 1 ft of the portrait J'.re thre straight lines of lettering, the toj line beins: one and onesixteenth inches below the upper edire of the card and containing in small carltal letters the word. 'The Space Above Is Hose rved for Postmark. The second lln is made up of the words 'Postal Card' in larce. plain capitals.
