Profits and Possibilities dustry. A recent government report gives a good deal of valuable information on the growth of the beet sugar industry in this country, and, as the industry is located almost wholly at the west, it raises the presumption that the western farmer may be freed from the thralldom of the two staples, corn and wheat, which has been fatal to that diversi- fled agriculture which is the most remunera- tive form of successfully carrying on the business of tilling the soil. As the United States produces now less than one-sixth of the sugar its people con- sume and vastly more wheat and corn than is consumed at home, it would seem, says the Chicago Record, that the sugar industry would offer special inducements to the west- ern farmer. Beet sugar has been made in the United States for the past fifteen years, the initial manufactory being located at Alvarado, Cal., and it is Still in operation. Since then works have been cstablished at other points in Culifornia, in Nebraska, Utah and Vir- ginia. It was not until 1887 that beet sugar be- came much of a factor in our domestic com- merce, in which vear the product was 600,000 pounds. Since then the industry has very rapidly developed, as the following fig- ures will show: Pounds. | 00,0/ 1591, 4,000,000/ 1802 000,000(1893 9000 1T sl000)o00) Of the entire amount produced in 1803 34,026,439 pounds were the product of Cali- forniamanufactories. The interesting feature of this exhibit is that the acreage devoted to the growth of beets to supply the seven manufactories in 1893 was 20,000 and the average price paid the farmer for the raw material was $4.50 per ton. While the product of ehe sugar cane is said to be limited to about 1,000,000 pounds annually, owing to the restricted area in which cane can be profitably grown, the area capable of producing the sugar beet is practically unlimited. It is true that some soils will produce beets yielding a larger per cent of saccharine matter than others, yet any good soil can produce beets from which sugar can be profitably made. It would seem that the production of beets for sugar in this country Is the solution of the question as to the plettora of a:ricultural products in our own markets, the consequent depression of which causes the American farmer to complain. His products are bulky, costly to transport and can be put practica’ly into only two condensed forms—cattle and flour—and these are also expensive to trans- port. The machinery rejuired to suceossfully raise heets is not expensive, nor is the labor hard or congtant, The industry is growing and farmers should use every effort to encourage it. of a Growing In- Pounds. it B o 12,001 A POLISH CUSTOM.

The mint I8 a profitable snap, requiring only ordinary skill and no great amount of shrewd planning or endurance. The up to date system of competing with the govern- ment differs from that of a generation ago. Say what one may, there is alw an ele- attached to the tales of the old-time coincrs and counterfeiters They did not waste their time in photo- graphing one bill and laboriously working it up with pen and colored ink, and as for turning out lead nickels and pewter quar- ters, they would have gone to a police court than soil their hands with such humiliating work. The Ballards, Brockways, Doyles and Smyths of twenty and thirty years ago were intelligent, capable rogues. What they set out to do they did well. Despising small work, they turned their on to en- graving $500 notes and $1,000 bonds, and imi- tating the fiber paper of the government How well they did their work is a matter of history, and that such desperate and daring criminals exist no more, to plot and plan their big schemes, must be regarded as a triumph for the secret service bureau of the treasury department, which has sup- pressed them, root and branch, No country, probably, has ever produced such an adroit counterfeiter as Brockway, unless it _be our own, which matches him in Tom Ballard, Willlam E. Brockway is now an old and reformed man, and, per- haps, it is unkind to recall his misdeeds, Still, & person who could organize a band capable in one single venture of floating nearly $250,000 of United States 6 per cent coupon and ' registered bonds, and when cap- tured surrendered some $£400,000 in superbly executed national bank notes of large de- nomination, naturally suggests himself when the subject of counterfeiting is under dis- cussion, Although, as has already been stated, the men and methods of these old-time counter- feiters have passed away and given place to humbler imitators, the work of these latter is not without interest. Take, for instance, says the New York Herald, the photo-pen artist, who turned out a few days ago a $100 treasury note. Among those persons who are more or less familiar with counterfeiters, the new imita- tion was of great interest. This is because it is the first bill of the kind ever counter- feited, because the process is entirely new and also because it is thought to be the im proved work of a sly rogue whose opera- tions have perplexed the treasury officials for some years past. The photo-pen process is supposed to be the work of an individual known as the “pen and ink” artist, who heretofore has confined his efforts exclusively to turning out bills by the toilsome labor of drawing them with the pen, using igk of various colors for the work. ment of romance sooner At one time it was thought that he could, not produce more than two of these bills a year, later on the period was reduced to six weeks, and now it js believed that by the as- sistance of photography he will be able to re- duce the time required for the execution of a $100 Dbill to about two weeks, which makes very poor wages for a man evidently talented, who runs great risks in earning his liveli- hood. So far as can be ascertained, the pen and ink artist has turned out in all about twenty bills. Among those which have reached the Treasury department are four or five 20's, a few 50's and but two $100 notes. Prior to the bill of the last denomination already referred to, there reached the Treas- ury department about a month ago another treasury note of the series of 1850. This did not pass in through a subtreasury, but was sent direct by a bank, which had received it in the ordinary coursc of business. All these pen and ink counterfeits are evi- dently the work of an expert draftsman or artistic penman, who works with the aid of a high power magnifying glass. At first sight the notes look remarkably well, as can be in- ferred from the facts that so many of them get into circulation, and that the artist has never yet been identificd. They will not, however, bear a close inspection, and have never been known to deceive the expert tellers of the New York subtreasury. Speaking of the experts Mr. Maurice Muhle- man, the deputy assistant treasurer at the New York subtreasury, said recently that not in his recollection had one been caught on a counterfeit bill. So familiar have they be- come to the feeling of the genuine fiber pa- per upon which the government money Is printed that the difference between the spuri- ous and the real is rather a matter of a nice discrimination of touch than of anything else. If a note feels peculiar it is tossed aside for a further examination, which rarely ever fails to disclose a counterfeit. The dificulty of securing or imitating the fiber paper of the government has had as much to do probably with minimizing coun- terfeiting as any other one cause. Brock- way, to be sure, secured or manufactured a large quantity of the paper. How he obtained it was never revealed to the public, but one of the conditions upon which he was released from prison was that he should reveal the secret to the govern- ment. ‘That he did so is proven by the f that he was never prosecuted for his lus and most stupendous crime, the bond coun- terfeiting, and also since that date, 1580, no counterfeits on paper containing the silk fiber have ever appeared. The only thing that has been left to the forgers In this respect is the imitation of the red and blue threads with a deft touch of colored ink with a brush, or by printing them on the paper before the main im- pression Is taken. Failing to secure a supply of the paper, one counterfeiter, it is recorded, having an extensive knowledge of chemistry, was ablo to discover a preparation which he used to wash off all the printing upon the surfaces of $1 United States notes, thus supplying the paper for counterfeits of larger de- nominations. This method furnishe® the paper but im- paired the surface so that a good impres- sion of the spurious bill was rendered ex- cecdingly difficult. That it did not give success—it W tried by Pete McCartney— is proven by the fact that no one else has resorted to it To the difficulty of securing good paper is due the alteration of small notes into those of larger denominations, which s now most extensively practiced. At times this work is exceedingly well done. The methods of ralsing notes are as numerous as they are ingenious and interesting. Great assistance is rendered the raiser of notes Dby the geometrical lathe work, figures, words, étc., Which are found upon internal —revenue stamps, both for spirits and cigars and to- bacco. 0ddly enough, in nearly every the ink used In printing these latter is \dentical with that of the notes. They are removed deftly, cut out and pasted and pressed so neatly as to almost defy detec- tion. It is a very strange thing, but nover- theless true, that but few men can carry in their minds an accurate description of a bill—that is, the arrangement of the Vig- nette and whom it represents, and the dis- position of the numerals upon the reverse of the note, The ralscrs of bills from a lower to a higher denomination bear this fact well in mind, and it 1s of the greatest possible aid to them in passing the money. So remark ably Ignorant are many Amerfcans of tho money in circulation (hat some of the alter- ers do not change anything but the denomi- nation of the bill which appears in large words or numcrals. Thus an altered note may appear with small “ones” cattered all over it, and the Instance changed portrait of some unknown indi- vidual, and from fhe fact that the most prominent numerdls, words and characters are “10,” “Ten' aml "X, pass In a hurry for a bill of the Meter denomination. This may seem almost) incredible, but can be easil verified, Of course the pasting on of numerals, ete., without the alterimg of other words or por- traits, are comparatively crude efforts at counterfeiting. Experts at altering bills—and there are many such—go much further, and by means and ‘devices known only to themselves turn out some really remarkable productions, turning Martha Washingtons into Thomas Jeffersons; Admirdl Farraguts for Lincolns, and performing numerous other miracles with a deftness that seems worthy of a bet- ter cause, They do not hesitate, for instance, to mutilate, in part, a bill of large denomina- tion, using the material to ralse a note of small value, and securing the redemption of the damaged bill at the subtreasury. Chief Drummond has at his office, it is sald, what lcoks fo much like a $10 silver certificate that not one man in a_thousand would hesitate accepting it. It Is, in reality, only a dollar bill, expertly altered The big figure, indieating the denomination, 18 In each case replaced by an X removi from a real $10 bill in the manner described above The numeral, together with the oval bit of lathe work, cut from a $10 certificate, was pasted on and worked over and over with a metal instrument, until it seems as though it were part of the bill itself, no traces of demarcation to the naked eye. In ltke manner, silver certificates of $1 and $2 are among the impounded articles raised to §5 and $20, Treasury notes of $1 are raised to $10, and old $1 national bank notes transformed into $50. The alteration of notes rarely oxtends beyond the latter de- nomination, and, of course, in addition to the counterfeiter’s trust in the ignorance of the public, he seeks to crumple and ol the bill as much as pessible to further conceal his work. The development of photography, photo engraving, process work and other forms of engraving about this time caused the officials of the secret service considerable alarm, which, however, has not been justified by the results. Such work as has been turned out is not caleulated to deceive, the impressions arc not sharp, the fine lines blur and the whole appearance of the counterfeits is poor. The work of the geometrical lathe has never been successfully imitated but once in the history of counterfeiting in this country, and then by Smyth, the engraver of Brock- s gang, who was credited with doing some of the finest work by hand ever seen in this country. i Mystery Surrounding an Injured Man. GRAND ISLAND, April 28.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—The police authorities were notified of a strange case today. A young man who gave the name of Charl B. King came to the door of the Grand Island hotel at 5 o'clock this morning, half crawling, with his right leg badly shot with a shotgun. A doctor was called and dressed the wound. King insists that he was shot in the railroad yards by the husband of a woman he claims to have been intimate with and stolidly refuses to divulge names or state further particulars. He claims to come from Denver, and, since he is an absolute stranger, the police do not think he was shot here, The Christian church has one preacher in the foreign ficld for each 200 at home. Out of a_total population of 95,000 in the Sandwich Islands, 24,000 are Romanists. The Norwegian Mission in Madagascar has fity-six ordained native pastors and 1,000 teachers and catechists in schools and institutions. The Kingdom of Saxony numbers 3,400,- 000 Evangelical Lutheran inhabitants, 130, 000 Catholies, 12,000 Reformed, 600 Greek Catholics, 9,500 Jews, )t 0ld Hurd churth was built near Harrods- burg, Ky, in 1797, and it is said that- weekly meetings have been held there ever since without a single exception. Rey. H. Wellesley Wesley, who has been appointed by Queen Victoria tutor and gov- ernor to the duke of Albany, is a lineal descendant of John Wesley. Rev. W. H. Thompson, aged §7 years, wel! known as the author of “The Land and the Book,” and forty-five years a missionary in Asia Minor, died last week at his daughter's home in Denver, Colo. In Nuremberg, an old stronghold of Luth- cranism, the Catholics have received per- mission from the Protestant magistrate to hold a procession Corpus Christi day. This has not occurred since 1524. The next general assembly of the Presb; terian church (north) will met in the Fir Presbyterian church, Saratoga, N. Y., Thur. day, May 17. The opening sermon will be by the retiring moderator, Will's G. Cra'g, D.D. The vote in the Methodist annual confer- ences in favor of granting faymen equal rep- resentation with the ministers in the gen- eral conference appears to be going, so far, strongly against the proposed change. Re- turns from nine conferences give 523 votes against and 404 in favor. Unity church, Cleveland, O., is probably the only church in the world that has as pastors two women. They are Rev. Marion Murdoch and Rev. Florence Buck. They are highly educated women, having finished their” education at Oxford university, Eng- land, and have been remarkably successful. Rev. .Stephen Beggs of Joliet, Ill, has just completed his 724 year in the uni- versity. He is mow 93 years of age, but preachied two Sundays ago: Another old clergyman is Rev Otis Wing of Newton Junction, N. H., who is 95 years of age, and has been in the ministry for seventy- one years. The inhabitants of Pitcairn island, that Arcadia of the Pacific, where the descend- ants of the mutineers of the Hounty and their Tahitian wives row dwell, bave chang.d their religion. The Seventh Day Adventists of California recently sent a mission to the island, and the result is that the Pitcairners have renounced Anglicanism and have em- braced the new religion. The only church exhibit thus far found in the Midwinter expc ‘tion at San Francisco is the one made the Unitarians; the other denominations eing kept away by the open Sunday fair.
