” “How are these notes inaaei Well, the
tiro difficulty the counterfeiter runs against
is ii the paper. The government uses paper
wi’ii a peculiar structural texture which
the coniacker cau’tget. To overcome this
duticudy he engraves a steel plate in imita
tion of the paper texture, and from this

else is done. Of course he must confine his

machinery in the genuine note, and as the
counterfeiter must perforce do it by hand
tbe work is always more or less irregular
and blurred.
"What is tbe most extraordinary counter

The ageut here ludicrously bad

never could deciove anybody.
•‘That,” he said, "was made by an old
shoemaker. He made his plate on a piece
of marble table-top. The engraving was
all done with an ordinary shoemaker’s awl,
and considering tbe tool and material he
worked with, it is really a wonderful per
f nuance. You will notice the paper he
used. It is tile very best that any counter

this note purports to be.

A FBONTIBR TRAGEDY.
How ‘‘Handsome Harry” Bertram Met
Hia Death.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The body of Henry Bertram passed
through Philadelphia yesterday enroute
for the family burying ground in one of
those quaint and quiet New England towns
in which witches innumerable are buried.
Henry Bertram was known on the south
western frontier as “Handsome Harry.”
He was a gambler, and in the vernacular of
the frontier, accounted “a square man.” In
1882 he appeared at Murdervillo, in Pecos
county, Texas. Murderville was the citv
of a d'ay. It was a barren alkali mesa,
about five miles from the confluence of the
Pecosand the Hio Grande rivers. The South
ern Pacific railroad was projected through
that country, and Murderville, from a
1-tent saloon, sprang into metropolitan im
portance in a few weeks. The one saloon
was supplemented by dozens of others, and
in three weeks after its inception thefown
boasted a justice of the peace, a company
of rangers, forty two saloons, three d.ince
houses, two hotels, three barber shops, a
laundry, and half a dozen dining saloons.
All the saloons bail gambling adjuncts and
poker, keno, Spanish monte, faro, rouge et
noir, the mustang game and other scheme,
of chance flourished in every drinking
place.
Jack Harris, afterward killed at San
Antonio by Marshal Ben Thompson, one of
the worst men in Texas, rau the principal
dive. His patrons were found among the
20,000 navvies at work upon the Sunset ex
tension of the Southern Pacific railroad.
They patronized the bar, got drunk and
when half crazed with the wretched liquor
sold, lost all that remaiued out of their
earniugs at faro or monte.
AN ALL BOUND GAMBLER.
“Handsome Harry,” aud the name did
not belie him, was a monte dealer at Jack
Harris’, and, in the language of the fron
tier, he was exceedingly “slick.” He lost
no money for his backer, but steadily added
to the “velvet” with which he was pro
vided.
“Handsome Harry” differed from the
other gamblers. He was not profane, he
did not drink, he did not use tobacco. Ha
did carry a murderous six-shooter in his
belt, however, and he used it on the slight
est provocation. No one knew whence he
came, and as he did not associate with any
of his fellow gamblers, but little was known
even of his life in Murderville. Ho had a
tent on the outskirts of the town, and to
this he retired when business was over,
always sober, always the gentleman that he
wa.
One night when the stage camo in from
Del Rio a woman, young, ami with a face
aud manner that stamped her as above the
common herd, alighted.
Hhe secured apartments at one of the
hotels, a wretched concern of canvas, and
when night settled down upon the town aud
the revelry begau she ventured forth, alone
and unprotected, and after a short confer
ence with a rough, turned her stepß toward
Jack Harris’ dance hall.
J ust as she entered the door an alterca
tion occurred among the gamblers about
the table where "Handsome Harry” was
dealing. Pistols were drawn in a twinkling
aud a half dozen weapons were leveled at
the dealer’s heart. He pulled his six
shooter, but just as he was about to tiro the
woman who had entered the tent unob
served, sprang forward and threw her arms
about his neck.
THEY FELL TOGETHER.
There was a succession of blinding flashes,
a chorus of loud reports. Handsome Harry
and the girl clinging about his neck fell to
gether to the rude floor and their life blood
was commingled. Oue of the opposing
party dropped dead also, but this did not
atone for the murder of Handsome Harry
and the girl that had sprung forward to
save him.
They were both killed and the gamblers
and saloonkeepers aud the rustlers and the
wantons congregated at Murderville, sus
pending their business for a few hours, fol
lowed the blanket-shrouded remains of tho
two to their last resting place iu the valley
of the Pecos close beside that alkali-tainted
stream, within a few hundred yards of
where it empties into the Rio Grande.
All along the bank of the Pecos at this
point are quicksands, and everywhere the
soil is Impregnated with alkali. Handsome
Harry and the unknown girl who diediu an
effort to save his life were buried in one
edmmon grave in. that shifting alkali soil of
the Pecos bottom. A rude gravestone of
wood—a. mere plank—wai set aDovo their
and upon it, in rude lettering, was
painted the known story of their lives.
Breast to breast they lay for seven long
years. The railroad, completed, wound
about their heads, aud daily the wnisties of
the locomotives as they crossed the Pecos
bridge sounded their requiem.
Last week a grav-haired man and a
woman in 4 0e P mourning alighted at
Langtry, the railroad station nearest the
Pecos. As they stepped from the care, the
eyes of the woman were turned across the
mesa, and she saw glistening in the August
suti Murderville’s monument—an immense
pile of broken bottles, which had been
thrown out by the saloon keepers, when the
town was in all the glory of its crime and
debauchery.
THEIR BODIES TURNED TO STONE.
Some of the railroad laborers—almond
eyed Chinamen, who felt no emotion iu
common with the strangers —assisted to
hunt up the lonely grave and throw out the
shifting soil.
Seven years of chemical action had
wrought a wondrous change. The bodies
of handsome Harry and the unknown girl,
still lying breast to breast, were exhumed,
but the action of the alkali soil had petri
fied them, and, perfect an in life, they were
reproduced, wrapped in the blankets that
on the frontier suffice for shrouds, in indis
soluble and indestructible stone.
When tbe spades of the Chinamen re
vealed the bodies the face of the veiled
woman flushed, perhaps with anger, per
haps with shame. Anyway, this was her
order, delivered in clear, metallic tones:
“Lift out his body, but leave hers.”
The Chinamen obeyed, and tho stiffened
body of Handsome Harry, as lifelike as
wheu ho rose, pistol in hand, to face his last
iusulter, was lifted out. His features were
perfect, and bending over him, the veiled
woman dropped a tear.
“Poor Harry!” she murmured, and then
she signed for the Chinamen to fill up the
grave.
Mechanically they obeyed her order, and
the marbloized body of the unknown
woman who had sacrificed her life in a vain
effort to save that of tho handsome gam
bler was recommitted to the petrifying soil
by order of the woman who shed tears over
his resurrected remains.
BLONDE HAIR.
Something About the Fair-Haired
Beauties of All Agee.
fYom Medical Classics.
Blonde hair as a fashion can be traced
back to a classic, romantic, pictorial or
poetic source; it was equally irresistible in
Rome when Rome was the mistress of the
world, and in Venice when: Venice was the
recognized queen of the Adriatic. We find
it illustrated or recorded by the pons of
Ovid aud Catullus. And the pencils of
Titian and Giorgione. The Chloes, Pyr
riias and Cynthias, as well as the Lauras,
Lucretius and Leonoras, were blondes; and
the manner in which they acquired or in
creased their indispensable attractiveness in
this respeot has supplied material for many
a curious chapter in the history of morals
and manners.
In the sixteenth century those who were
not naturally blondes became so artificially.
To be blonde had become an art, and what
at first, under Carpaccio, at the end of the
fifteenth century, was still but a caprice of
coquetry, bad become later, under Titian
and Paul Veronese, the dream and the ne
cessity of the generality of Venetian women.
Agnes Sorrel, Diane de Poitiers, Gabrielis
and Lstrees, Ninon de l’Enclos, La Valiere and
a large percentage of the women celebrated
in history for their beauty were bl ndes.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST lfi, 1889.
So was Paule de Toulouse, who was fol
lowed by so tumultuous a crowd of ad
mirers whenever she went abroad as to
compel the interference of the magtstra'es
t° keep the peace. Phryne corrupted her
judges by standing before them with no
covering but her glorious golden hair. Mi
nerva, Venus, Aurora, Floro, Pomona, are
all pictured as blondes.
single extract from a curious book of
throe centuries ago will suffice to show how
tue dames of Venice set to work to acquire
the coveted blonde tint, the dangers tuev
incurred aud what privations thev endured
in the attainment of it. Ce6are Vecollio,
writing in 1589, gives a picture of the would
lie fair Venetian, with her dripping head
exposed to the sun:
“The housep in Venice are commonly
crowned with little constructions in wood,
resembling a turret without a roof, on the
ground. These lodges or lioxes are formed
of masonry, floored like what are called
terrazzi at Florence and Naples, aud cov
ered with a cement of sand and lime to pro
tect them from the rain. It is in these that
tho Venetian women may be seen as often,
and indeed odteoer, than in their chambers;
it is here that, with their heads exposed to
the full ardor of the sun during the whole
day, they strain every nerve to augment
their charms, aslf they needed it, as if the
constant use of so many mettiods known to
all did not expose their natural beauty to
pass for no better than artificial. During
the hours when the sun darts its most verti
cal and scorching rays they repair to these
boxes aud condemn themselves to broil in
them, unattended. Seated there they keep
on wetting their hair with a sponge dipped
in some elixir of youth, often prepared by
their own hands. They moisten their hair
afresh as fast as it is died by the suu, and it
is by the unceasing ronewal of this opera
tion that they become what you see them—
blondes. d\ hen thus engaged they throw
over their ordinary dress a peignor or dress
ing gown of the finest white silk, whioh
they call schiavonetti. They wenr on their
heads a straw hat without a crown, so that
the hair drawn through the opening may
be spread upon the borders. This hat, do
ing double duty as a drying line for the
hair and a parasol to protect the neck and
face, is called solana. In winter, or when
the sun failed, they wetted and dried their
hair before a fire.”
The precise duration c f this practice is left
in doubt. It certainly lasted long enough
to exercise a marked influence on art, and
we learn from the same authority that it
spread rapidly, “including all Italy, if not
all Europe.”
Of all the various shades of color, fight
yellow, golden or blonde hair has been the
most esteemed; “fair-haired” is a household
word with all Greek writers, while with the
Latins (as in our own times) it was the
fashionable color. Chestnut is another p ip
ular shade; Christ is always so represented,
and many of the Madonnas of the old
masters.
Rod hair some years ago was not admired,
yet now it is almost as much esteemed as
yellow, as barbel's—we beg pardon, “eranio
logists,” as they term themselves nowadays
—by means of certain “charm*,” can pro
duce upon it a beautiful golden yellowish
sheen that “outyellows” yellow itself. Red
hair was always an object of aversion
among the aucients. Ages before the time
of Judas Iscariot red hair was thought a
mark of reprobation. Typhon and Nebu
chadnezzar are instances of this; the former,
who acquired it because he deprived his
brother of the scepter of Egypt, and the
latter, who bore it in expiation of his atroc
ities. Even the donkey tribe suffered from
this iil-omoned visitation, according to the
proverb of “wicked as a red ass.” Asses of
that color were held in such high detesta
tion by the Copts that every year they sac
rificed one by hurling it from a high wall.
.Black hair was not much esteemed by the
Romans; but red was detested. Black is
always used on the stage with such charac
ters as pirates, robbers, desperate Villains,
etc., although it is probable that many of
the worst criminals have had hair of other
shades. Auburn is the shade given by By
ron to his famous Haidee:
“Her hair's long auburn waves.”
Light brown hair was thought the most
distinguished, as portending intelligence,
industry, a peaceful disposition, as well as a
great susceptibility to tender passsions.
Castor and Polluz had brown hair, as also
had Menelaus.
Fright and other strong mental emotions
have been given the credit of turning the
hair white, sometimes even “in a single
night,” but the accomplishment of the re
verse of the process, turning white hair
black, is not generally known as a posslbil
bility, although it rests upon good evidence.
In the Therapeutic Gazette for April is
an ac ount of a case where the snow-white
hair of a woman of 73 became black in
patches after the use of Jaborandi for the
relief of the pruritus accompanying chronic
interstitial nephritis. The case is reported
by Dr. D. W. Prentiss of Washington, pro
fessor of materia medico and therapeutics
in the medical department of Columbian,
university. Dr. Prentiss says that he re :
ported a similar case, in 1881, in the Phila
delphia Medical Times and that the patient
is now living and is well known to many
people in Washington, her hair remaining
dark brown, while it was of a light-blondo
color b fore she took pilocarpine eight
years ago
PETRIFIED BONE3 IN A CAVE.
Wonderful Discovery of a Prehistoric
Existence Revealed by a. Mine Blast.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Denver, Aug. 13. — A most remarkable
story has reached hero from Aspen, Col.,
regarding an unexpected discovery in one
of the principal mines in the Aspen moun
tain. Last Thursday night the night shift
in the Minnie mine—Donnelly, Mack, Tay
lor and Gilfillan —put in two thirty-inch
holes in the breast of a 500 foot level, and
fired the blast just before leaving for the
surface. On returning to the mine it was
found that the two shots had broken into a
cave, the extent of which they proceeded to
explore.
Going in a few feet they found the walls
covered with crystallized lime and lead,that
glistened like diamonds. Here and there
little stalactites hung from the ceiling. The
lime formation resembled lace and frieze
work of wondrous beauty. The cave had a
descent of about 20°, and they found rooms
and chambers grand bey nd description.
They had entered about 200 feet when they
found a flint ax. A little farther was a
pool of fresh water and a strong current of
fresh air was felt. Farther on a chamber
was discovered covered with a brownish
muck that was sticky.
Gilfillan, who was in the lead, suddenly
stopped and said: “There sits a boy.” Sure
enough there sat a human form. The head
was resting on the knees and the arms were
drawn around ihe legs, Indian fashion. A
stone bowl and ax were found beside the
figure. The body was web preserved, but
in trying to lift it one arm broke off it.
Other bodies in different attitudes were
found in the chamber, but when disturbed
they crumbled. One stone man was brought
out with the loss of arms and fast. The
discovery has caused great excitement in
Aspen, as the bodies do not seem to be those
of Indiana

A Monument on Hie Chest.
“I had a peculiar dream last night,” said
Pickerly a few mornings ago. “I dreamed
that the Bartholdi statue had been removed
from New York harbor, and greeted on my
breast. I woke up bathed in perspiration
and I could feel the weight of a monument
on my chest for two hours afterward. 1
saw a physician as soon as I got up town,
and he convinced me that I had the founda
tion for a good case of dyspepsia. I got a
bottle of P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root,
and Potassiunj), and I think I’ve mastered
the enemy. I know that P. P. P. is one of
the best remedies known (from family ex
perience) for all blood attacks, and am sat
isflod that my rescue from dyspepsia is
permanent.” P. P. P. is kept by ail drug
gists, and is an unfailing cure for Syphilis,
Gout, Rheumatism and all signs of bad or
impure blood.
