CHANCES OF ROBBERY.
CNCLE SAM’S LOOSS PLAN OF
CAKING FCB MUTiLATSD COIN.
A Better Metbcd is Wanted—Treas
urer Nebeker Shows the Dangers
of the Present System—Millions
Might be Duplicated.
From the Pittiburg Dispatch.
Washington, Dec. 3L —United States
Treasurer Nebeker has found a great big
loop-hole In the system of accounts kept of
the money issued by tte government. He
has made It the subject of the most interest
ing recommendation to be found in bis an
nual report which was made public recently.
In this report, which was sent out In synop
sis by the press association, Mr. Nebeker
suggests the advisability of cheeking the
money seat in for redemption by number as
well as by eer es and denomination.
Under the present sy-tem of his office,
wLau money oomes in for redemption, it is
classified according to the series and then
according to its face value, and a record is
kept of the number of notes redeemed of
each denomination. Now each treasury
note or United States note or national bank
note or silver certificate, which is printed at
the bureau ot engraving and printing and
issued from the treasurer’s office, has a serial
number printed on it in blue. These num
be. s run up into the millions.
On Dec. lit the bureau of engraving and
printing had delivered and the treasurer s
office had stamped 7,1fi0,000 treasury notes
of the denomination of #1 of the issue of
July 14, ltjyO. and 4,512,000 of the series of
1891 under the provisions of the same act.
A 810 ISSUE OF NOTES.
The total issue of treasury notes of the
series of 1890, including the denominations
sl, $2. 85, 810, 820 and 81,000, at that time
was 23,916,000, that is, that number of
pieces of money of that series alone bad
been issued at that time. Now, if it bad
happened during the two years aud a half
in which these notes had been issued that
a bureau chief of less absolute integrity
tnau Capt. Meredith had beeu in charge
of the bureau of engraving and printing,
and that the assistants of that chief were
less honorable than the gentlemen who
helped Cant. Meredith to run the bureau, it
would have been possible for these people to
duplicate a great part of this issue of United
States notes, and if the crime bad not been
discovered the government would have ac
cepted the duplicates and issued good notes
for them as soon as they had become suffi
ciently worn to be otfered for redemption
W heu you consider that one package of
SI,OOO note-, es the e notes are put up in the
treasury department, would represent
84,000.000, the enormity of this risk can be
better appreciated.
NO SUCH CRIME DISCOVERED.
No crime of this kind has ever been dis
covered in the experience of the treasury
department and tnere is no reas iu to be
lieve that any such crime has been at
tempted; cut it is -Dot the bustuess of the
treasurer of the United States to punish
crime, this is the privilege of the chief of
the secret service aud the department of
justice. It is the business of the treasurer
of the United States to provide safeguards
against the o mmission of a crime which
would rob the treasury. It is with this
object that Treasurer Nebeker has sug
gested to,the Secretary of tne Tre \sury in his
rep rt the advisability of establishing this
additional safeguard.
There is another possibility connected
with this weak spot in the treasury system;
and it is altogether likely that this possi
bility has beeu realized more than once,
although there is no positive way of discov
ering the fact. The bills which come to the
treasury for redemption are in such a worn
and tattered condition that it is with great
difficulty sometimes that eveu their denom
ination is proved.
A GOAT AS BANKER.
Sometimes the fragments of half-burned
bills are sent In—sometimes bills that nave
been gnawed by rats, and there is even on
record a case where a billygoat swallowed
842 in bank nctes, and they were presented,
after the summary death of the goat, iden
tified and redeemed. Now, it is just possi
ble that some of the badly battered cur
rency which oomes to the treasurer’s office
is counterfeit. Chief Drummond of the
secret service has in his possession a groat
many counterfeit bills which would almost
deceive an expert when fresh from the
press.
It would be next to impossible for even
tbe hawk-eyed clerks of the redemption di
vision of the trea ury department to iden
tify these counterfeits as spurious. There
are several cases on record where the clerks
in tne treasurer’s office have let counter
feits slip ti.rough their hands, and they
have been dateoted afterward when the
notes went to the office of the secretory or
the office of the register of the treasury.
How many have passed not only the clerks
In the redemption division but the experts
in the offices of ti.e secretary and the regis
ter no one will know.
LOTS REDEEMED EVERY DAY.
The number of notes to be redeemed which
the treasury department receives every day
wiil average (according to the cashier's
office) $7lK),00:l. Most of this money is in
small bills and it may represent 600,000
pieces. The-e notes for redemption come
fr m individuals, banks and sub-tieasuries.
Banks or individuals can get fresh money
for money that is old and worn by present
ing it at any one of the sub-treasuries.
But if a man does not live in a city
where there is a sub-treasury, he must
send the money to the treasury depart
ment by express, and receives good money
in exchange for it. But he must pay the
express charges both ways, if he lives
within tbe territory which is reached by the
United States Express Compa y, he cau
ship this money at the rate of 15 cents per
81,000 eaoo way. This is the government
contract rate. If he lives outside this dis
trict, be will pay a much h gber rate. This
explains iu part why th re is so much silver
in circulation in the west.
THEY WANT TO GET RID OF SILVER.
The treasury department ships silver to
any part of tbe Uuited Mates and prepays
expre.-s charges on it for the purpose of
getting it in circulation. When the na
tional republican convention was held iu
Minneapolis last June the people from the
east who attended it marveled at the
amount of silver in circulation. The peo
ple of Minneapolis marveled no less at the
fresh, crisp paper money which tbe people
from Washington brought with them.
This paper money seemed to be a great
curiosity to the snopkeepers of Minneapolis
and they put it aside to treasure up and ex
hibit to their friends. Meantime the
Washington correspondent and the occa
sional congressman who went in a drug
store to buy a 5-cent glass of soda water
found himself buidoned with four big silver
dollars and 95 cents in small change when
he went out.
If the treasurer did Dot follow this plan
to keep the silver in circulation there would
be much less of it outside tbe treasury
vaults. Very often bankers in sub-treasury
cities who are iu a hui ry to get fresh money
will go to the extra expense of shipping it
to tbe treasury department direct rather
tbau wait to have it come through the sub
treasury. At tbo sut -treasury the money is
csreiully counted twice and sorted accord
i g to denominations. Then it is made up
into package, and shipped to the treasury
department at Washington.
THE MONEY CAREFULLY EXAMINED.
Here it is counted again and then is sorted
by the different series to which it belongs.
Its cl isstficaliou is: First, as United States
notes, treasury notes, silver certificates or
national bank notes; second, as the senes of
1869. 18N9, or w hatever series it may belong
to; third, according to the denomination,
whether 81 or 83, etc. Going through this
process it is laieful'y examined at each
stage to detect the counterfeit from tbe gen
uine. When the hills ol different denomi
nations are made into packages each paca
age is out in two, dividing each biU equally
into two parts.
Une pei-sage of half notes is sent to tbe
secretary’s office and the other to the treas

urer’a office. At each office the package it
counted and verified and further examined.
These two ofih es are a check on each other
and on the office of the redemption division.
With all these safeguards there have been
very few attempts at theft in dling
of mutilated bills, and doubtless very few
of these have escaped detection. When tbe
bills to bo destroyed have been thoroughly
checked up they are put in charge of a com
mittee consisting of one clerk of the secre
tary’s office, one from the register’s office,
one from tbe treasurer’s office and an out
sider appointed by the secretary of tbe
treasury.
HOW BILLS ARE DESTROYED.
The first three named have keys to the
maeerator, or machine which destroys the
mutilated i otes. Each key fits a different
look on the maeerator,and ail three of these
locks must be unbolted if tbe maeerator is
opened. The maeerator is a steam drum in
whioh a set of knife blades revolves hori
zontally. The packages of mutilated cur
tency are put into the maeerator under the
eye • of the four members of the committee
aud the maeerator is locked, steam is turned
on and the knives are started.
In a very few minutes the notes have been
reduced to unrecognizable greenish, gray
pulp. This pulp is sold to a local firm
whioh presses it into miniature busts of
George Washington, Lincoln, Logan and
other heroes of American history, into the
figures of ! irds or into a crude representa
tion of the Washington monument. These
curiosities are sold in all the shops of
Washington, and a little old man sits on
the steps of the bureau of eugraviDg arid
printing, the birthplace of these bank
notes, aud sells their compressed i emaiun to
visitors.

talked with Mr. True a few days ago
about the possibilities of establishing his
system, aDd be said the only way * hich
seemed to him to be feasible would be to
have books printed with the serial numbers
of the notes issued and to go over these
books whenever notes were received for re
demption and check off tbe numbers.
To do this for 300,000 pieces of money in
one day would be no small task. To start
with the issue of old demand notes of 1862
would be a stupendous task. The oldest
notes which coroe in for redemption now
are the “new issue” demand notee of 1b69.
There was a total $177,122 worth of these
“new issue’ notes redeemed last year aud
there are more than 7,500,000 of them still
outstanding. Of tbe United States notes of
tbe series of 1869 there are outstanding more
than 6,750,000; of the series of 1874, more
than 1.250,000; of tbe series of 1875, more
than 4,750,000; of the series of 1878, more
than 8,250,000; and of the series of 1880,
nearly 317,000,000. Of the last named series
$61,373,359 wore redeemed during the last
year.
MUCH OUT OF CIRCULATION.
Of oourse much of this money, whioh is
quoted in Mr. Neb-ker’s report as “out
standing,” boa been destroyed and will
never be presented for redemption. This
money destroyed more thau balanoes auv
fraudulent money which may have been
presented for redemption b 'Causo notes are
reported as “outstanding’’ of every denom
ination aud every series. Of course, to
print at this time a book containing all
serial numbers of tbu series of 1869 and to
attempt to check off what n it*s of that
series mav come In hereafter would be
almost a useless task; but it is quite possi
ble to go back two or three years and make
un these accounts beginning say with the
series of 1890.
Of o urse if duplicates were presented
now of any notes which have been redeemed
heretofore no system of checking which
could now be established would prevent
their redemption, if this new system Is
eatatilisbed it must be for the protection of
the treasury department against the pos
sibility ot redeeming two cotes of tbe same
number hereafter.

LIFE ON THE BJRDER.
STIRRING TIMB3 AFTER THE
APACHE OUTBREAK.
Gen. Lew Wallace As the Governor
of This Territory of Briarands and

From the New York Advertiser .
About the time of the great Apache outbreak
in 1881 I was mining and prospecting in New
Mexico, and between fights with the Indians,
occasional massacres otsettiers* famili s.scout
ing ami skirmishing, reports of rich strikes of
gold and silver ore, horse and cattle stealing,
gin-mill and gambling hell affrays, cowboy and
outlaw raids and vendettas and mibcehaneoua
scrimmages of shooting scraps iu the plazas,
on the ranches, iu the camps, on the trails, at
the mines and everywhere, we had decidedly
livrly times.
Those were the days when, if a row would
take place at a poker table, pistols and knives
would be drawn, and in five minutes two or
three “stiffs' would be dragged tnto the bacic
room or chucked behind the door; drinks would
be ordered all round, and the game would goon
as if nettling had happened. Those were the
“good old times''when if a tenderfoot showed
himself in the streets with a *Nt<ve-pipe hat” it
was in*tantly riddled with bullets irom tho
revolvers >f sportive marksman, and if lie ob
jected to the amusement a ball or two below

terial Cor anoiber funeral of “a fellow with his
boots on. '*
It was in those stirring tiroes that a festive
cowboy one day bet his gun aud spurs that ho
would jump Ins pouy through the window of a
railroad dining room, c lear the tables full of
guests and go out of a window on tbe opposite
side of the room; but he lostt e bet, for just a*
his horse was in midair over a tabi * in tne cen

On the handbills, which were stuck up all
over the town, t e hand at theiide of the no
tice was printed in blood-red ink; and the whole
thing was characteristic of tho region and the
tune. The date of the proclamation was just
ten days a!ter the winding up or one of tne
wildest romances of crime in ail the blood
stained annals of our American border by the
killing of “Billy the Kid.” lie had for years
been the red-handed ter or of the sout hw est,

were the theme of every tongue ar-d in New
Mexico
Previous to this killing Axtell was removed
from the govern orship of the territory bv Pres
ident iiaye<, and Gen. Lew' Wallace, since
famous as the author of “The Fair God” and
Hor,” was appointed to the place. Chis
holm. the cattleman, went up to S iota F'e. and
by some means wou the new governor over to
tLe side of the Kid.
Gov. Wallace issued a general proclamation
of pardon and amnesty to all parties, “includ
ing army officers," who had been engaged in
the Lincoln couuty outbreak, commanding
them to lay down their arms and go home and
keep the peace
Shortly after this the widow of MoSwain. one
of the victims o the Lincoln county war, re.
solved to prosecute the slayers of her husband
and destroyer* of her home. She employed a
lawyer named Chspjnan of i.as Vegas who
warn down Into Lincoln county and promptly
txgan to stir up all the o<d Mtnfe. but wan toou
murdered by a man uitned Campbell and others
of tbe opposite faction.
When Gov. Wallace heard of the death

and night, and wre then brought before the
court for trial, tbe Kid appeuriug as the pr in -
cipal witness against them They were all ac
quitted, but 1 urner had boon harassed from
that day until I saw him for the last time, some
two yuars afterward.
Judge Ira Leonard, a former Missourian, like
Elkins aud Catron, had been employed by Mrs.
McSwain to prosecute th * charges against 001,
Dudley of being accessory to the murder of her
husband and the burning of her house.
Judge Leonard at the time was a resident of
lah Vegas. He was accompanied to Fort Stan
ton by John Mol her-on. ohi f of police at Las
Vegas, who had been warned by the
thieves and thugs of that place to leave
on pain <>f < eath. McPherson had been
with Quantrell during the war, and was him
selr a despera io of no small renown. Return
ing to Las Vegas some tiin’> after this the
roughs kept the r i remise and killed him.
Ah he and Iseonard w* re iiting in their room
at Fort Stanton one night shortly after their
arrival th-’V beam a tapping o i thei wind w.
Upon opening the neavy wooden shutter the
Kid stepped into t ier >om aud announced tnat
he had come to en t the trial of Dudlei by kill
ing him right io the fort surrounded bv h s
troops. With much difficulty Monard and Me
Pherson diswuaded him from his bloody pur
po-e He then noiselessly slipped out in tbe
darkness, as he had come, mounted his horse
and Htruck out for the staked plans. where he
embarked iD the business of cattle steal.n? at
wholesale, mak.ng his headquarters at F'ort
Sumner.
Officer Garr tt, who killed the Kid, having
occasion, in reply to a question, to allude to the
exploit that made him famous, s>mply ie
marked: “He was taken the night f the 14th
of this month.” I asked him :f the Kid ha I
really kiliel s many men as the \ ai>ers aud
popular rumor credited him with, some esti
mates running as high as forty. “No. ’be an
swered in his musical, feminine voice, “h** only
killed eleven that I know of around here." I
thought that * as nearly enough.
Some bitch hav ng occurred in regard to the
reward Garret* expected to get from the terri
tory. the people in all the cities and towns went
to work and raised a subscription for him. Las
Vegas alone made up a purse of $1,200 in gold
for him. and lafterward understood tie received
a total of $7,500 for freeing New Mexico from
the terrorism of the bloodiest young ruffian in
all her gay annals—a boy of Hi years, so small
and tender and delicate tt at, to the time of
his death, many people believed biin to boa

Gentlemen— Twenty-tnree years ago I was
attache I with inflammatory rheumatism. I was
a-tended by the most eminent physicians in the
land. I visited the gri-at Saratoga Springs, N.
Y.. and the noted Hot Springs o? Arkansas
and many other watering places, and always
consulting with the local pnyHioian for direc
tions; finally came to Florida ten yea nu ago.
About two years ago I bad a severe attack of
rheumatism, was confined to my room for
twelve weeks and during tho time I was induced
to try P. P. P. [Prickly A.sb, Poke Boot an l
Potassium], knowing that each mgredf ut was
good for impurities of the blood. After usfhg
two hinall botiles 1 was lelieved. At tour dif
ferent times sl ice I have had slight attacks, ad
I have each time taken two small bo ties of P.
P. P and been relieved, and I consider it the
best medicine of its kind. Respectfully,
J. F. Greer
