THE PI BE MADE THAN SOMETHING PRETTY, SUBSTANTIAL AND USEFUL. GOODS TAKEN ON STORAGE IN OUR TWENTY-SECOND STREET WARE HOUSE BETWEEN M AND N STREETS, FLOOR SPACE WORK OF COUNTERFEITERS, ‘The Great Activity Shown During the Past Year. Chief Brooks of the Treasury secret service, in bis annual report, from which extracts were printed in yesterday's Sram, re- marks that the counterfeiters of coin | have given no evidence of activity or “ad- vancemeat in their crude art” during the past Year. There were three new counterfeit notes and an edition of $20,000 of bad United States ‘Treasury notes produced during the fiscal Year. Tour dangerous counterfeiters were removed from active work—by law and the interposition of —_Providence— | but others equally dangerous, says the chief, remain and are not content to allow their | talents to fall into disuse, for since July of this Year three new counterfeits have been put upon | the market as follows: July 7.—A $2 silver certificate, check letter B, large pink seal. Thi Italian origin, discovered in New York. Augu t 1—A counterfeit £20 silver certifi- cate, series 1850, check letter B, large seal; dis- covered in Ohio. September 10.—A €2 silver certificate, 1886, check letter C, small pink seal. Thi Bret discovered in Kansas Cite, Mo. “To the foregoi should be added’ a second and improved edition of the counterfeit noteon the New Orleans, , Series ‘is was Germania National Bank of N . Which latter was put on the market in August | last. ‘Phe quantity and variety of false notes recently put forth do not disturb se much aa does ‘the quality and their close imitation of | the government work. Its genuine notes, es- | cially the series of 1890, are marvels of | waty of the engraver's art, aided by the won- derful geometric lathe, and one looking over the extensive and complex area of lines and Faye Es Would declare it impossible to wuccess- ly counterfeit such work so as to pass the | scrutiny of the average careful merchant: yet it is true at this moment that counterfeiters bave in ion, and are actively using, pro- cesses akin to photolithography, photocromy and photogravure. by which a note of whatever delieacy of detail in lines or color can be faith- fully reproduced; hence to the public (ontside of a few experts) as against the counterfeiter te beauty of the engraving of United States notes offers no protection to the public oF defense against counterfeiters. SILVER CERTIFICATES. “1 cite in proof of the foregoing the counter- feit $2 silver certificate discovered September 10 of this year. The correspondence as to de- taiie in “\-: counterfeit with the genuine al- moss precludes the bility of such imita- tion by su. ed plate, und suggests a Process by which depth, minuteness of igure, ‘snd exactness in detail and color can be scene rately and reacily obtained. This mast bs vo, ss an expert engraver, having examined this | counterfeit note under a powerful for one | hour, coufessed ais inability to discover any radical divergene, of lines from those of a genuine note. ~The photograpbic $20 silver certificate that pear | August 1 8 after the same order, and, ough clumsily done a: per poor, is fast suptoaching the qualities ot the S2 counters feit silver certiticate aiove discussed. “In dismissing this subject I would state, as ‘the result of many yea’ experience, my con- Viction is that in Pyper_ upon ‘which the note is printed should ye found the prime factor in the protection @ the public against fruwl; ite distinctive ehaXcteristic should be Feadily recognized, and ite ubsence as rea-lily detected: it should be an unusually marked quality so incorporated with ie T as not fo be easily imitated. I bespey for this matter cousideration than it ha yet received.” | to be THE C. AND 0. CANAL, Georgetown People Believe It Will Be Placed im Good Order. Life in Georgetown is taking on brighter aspect now that it ix likely the canal will be rebuilt and in running order at some early | date. Since the flood that washed out the canal people across the creck have been waiting pa- | tiently and in hope for the new era that was | Promised. The flour mills along the river | had lease on the water power from the canal that still had many years to. run, and after the break came the question arose as to what should be done. | It was settled by the water consumers furnish- | | ing the funds to repair the canal along the | me: vel Georgetown k id they were to be reim-| Georgetown business men put up about | £22,000 and the annual rental amounts to| about £8000. In this way those who need water power have managed to get along all right, but if the canal is repaired by next May, as is now promised, estion arises as to how those who went into their bank accounts tohelp the canal will get even again. This matter is now before the courts and will also disposed of. The that is tg say, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, which has now got control of the majority of them—now propose to put the canal | in working order. The recent decree of the court gave them until next May to have the | canal in running order. The 1844 holders are | given four years to place the concern on a pay- | ing basis and to redeem the 1877 bonds with the | accrued interest. In case of failure to do this | the property is to be sold at public auction. But as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- | fany, i the main holder of the later issue of nds, as well as of the earlier, it would seem | their interest to carry matters ahead With all speed. The appointment of Mr. H.C. Winship ‘a general superintendent of the ca company ‘shows the evident interest, the “eat road company is toking in the matter. 4 TOUR OF INSPECTION. ASran reporter made the grand tour of Georgetown today and talked with a number of | the prominent business men on the prospects of the canal. All were hopeful and well satis- fied with the turn affairs have taken. | G. W. Cissel of the Arlington Mills said: | ¢ is no doubt now that we will have a and Tam sure we are all glad that it is rtainty at last. T think itis only a question | of time when we will have « canal anda rail road both running into Georgetown.” Mr. J. E. Libbey of the lumber firm of Jos. | equally confident. “A said he, “is the best thi and I'am glad we are going to en robably be satisfactorily lers of the bonds of 1844— ing we can have have it. Acanal ploys a large number of men who will be paid of and who will spend their money in ieorgetown. A better choice than Mr. Win- ship for superintendent could not have been ade. made. i ushing, hard-working man aad | will hurry the work through.” | Mr. Robt. B. Tenney of the firm of W. H. Tenney & Sons said: “Tam as piad as any one can be over the prospects, and I think the new canal management will work it for all it is worth. Inthe first place, the railroad is a large stockholder in the canal, and by putting in a little more they can save’ what they now have. In the second place, the railroad knows that it can carry coal cheaper by bout than it n by rail, and it will be to its interest to com- jete the canal and use that asa coal carrier wherever possible, leaving the railroad free to take other and better paying freight.” Mr. Wm. Wheatley of Wheatley Bros: “I don’t know anything abont the cunal further than whatI have seen in the papers, but 1do A Flag Drill. * ‘The flag drill and entertain: tat Odd Fellows’ Hall southeast Tha: evening Was an enjoyable event.

The steps taken by the representatives of the holders of the canal bonds of 1844, under the recent decree of Judge Alvey looking to the restoration of the canal as a waterway, causes some inquiry as to the fate of the pro- ject represented by the Washington and Cum- berland Railroad Company to build « railroad along the line of the canal. Mr. E. Kurtz Jobnson, president of the Citizens’ National Bunk, one of the incorporators of the Wash- ington and Cumberland road, told » Stan re- porter that no conference had been heldamong the projectors of the roud recently. “We are ut present,” he remarked, “in a state of innocuous desuetude, as Mr. Cleveland putit. The fact is we are waiting until the appeak taken by the state and by some of the bondholders of the canal from Judge Alvey's decree has been decided. It has been the spirit of all legislation concerning the canal that it should not be controlled by any railroad, and on that ground I understand the appeal of ‘the state will be argued. The idea is that the canal to benetit the people shall be a tree and actual competitor of the railroads. I think there would be no difficulty in showing that the Bal. timore and Ohio railroad is placed in control bs the decree respecting the bondholders of “For my own part,” not believe that they will restore and maintain the canal as required by the terms of the court. 1 think ho Stepe taken are simply. for the purpose of delay and to preven: ing bts competing Falroad Kine hen Tux Star reporter suggested that the Washington and Cumberland road might build its road independent of the canal, Mr. Johnson said that such a thing waa probable in ease the canal was not availaiier ye have offers from farmers all al a said Mr. Johnson, ‘I-do | ™™ a THEY DO NOT BUILD FORTS. ‘What Senator Moody Says of the Indians in the Bad Lands, “All this talk about hostile Indians f their location in the Bad Landsisall nonsense,” said Senator Moody to a Stan reporter. Senator Moody lives in South Dakota and is generally credited with knowing something about the state he represents and the inhabitants thereof. “Did anybody ever sce any ‘fortifications’ erected by plains Indians?” he went on. “The nearest they ever came to earthworks wasin the final Crow versus Sioux trouble, when they piled up little mounds of rocks and dirt, behind which they were tolerably secure from the bul- lets of any adversary who was on the other side of the heap and somo distance away. To be sure, the Bad Lands country is broken up and is difficult to travel in, but the Indian has no advantage in itsoccupancy. When the soldiers set after them the Indians will have some Pretty rapid traveling to do, and then they will Tealize that the disadvantagesare not all on one side. Winter in the Bad Lands is much milder than on the plains. The great buttes shut off all wind and the snow lies quiet when the bliz~ zard rages above. If the Indianb want for their ponies they have gone to a good place, for the grazing there is excellent unless fires went through this fall. The tract in which these alleged hostiles are now said tobe camped is about twenty by forty miles in size. ‘There are but few agriculturists near it because the soil is too light to raise anything but the rich native grasses. “Personally, I do not anticipate any trouble with the Indians, although some of the aspiring young bucks may allow their desire and scalps to run away with older and more level- posed to hostilities and they will be found unab- ously opposed to war.” THE BAD LANDS. The Bad Lands, where it is reported that the hostile Indians intend to make a stand against the troops, are unpleasantly familiar to those who have traveled very much in the west.

JAMES MISSION. of the Work in Which Samii at a ~ Father The greatest interest is being taken in the missionary mecting tobe held at St. James Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill and all pros- pects point to a most successful mission. These meetings will commence this evening and last | through two weeks, including the three Sun- days. The missioner who will conduct these services is Father Huntington of the order of the Holy Cross. Father Huntington, who is a won of Huntington of central New York, is @ young man, but he has already become promi- nent in church work, and in missionary work especially. He is well known throughout the ghurch for his labors in connection with the Holy Cross mission in New the poor. Soon after his sraduntion teen j this celibate order and has since devoted him- self to work among the poorest of the poor in fork and has interested him- the working the slums of New self in all questions that interest classes and the poor. HE WORKED WITH PICK AND SHOVEL. At one time when compelied by failing health to relinquish for awhi put on the dress of a working man and went out with pick and xhovel as a day laborer. While in that line of life he made friends of bie associates, talking with them and finding out their modes of thought and their ‘ular temptations and using whatever opportunities prevented themselves in addressing them and advising them on spiritual matters. One day he was recognized by a passing acquaintance and then for the first time the men with whom he was laboring knew who the man was whe was giving up his life to their welfare. Father Huntington is at t Present devoting imsclf almost entirely to holding missions, re~ eats and other ii ¥ wil iy Crome fully established it and left it in such condition that it could be conducted by the regular clergy of the church.
