41 Tried in the Crucible, ft*
About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pre
noanccd it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among tlic nnmbcr were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. S. had done for others similarly afilicted. I procured some at once. Before f had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health had been bad for two or three years—l hau a hacking cougn ana spit blood contin
ually. I hzd a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed oner all but
a little spot aliout the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.

BOGUS BILLS.
INTERESTING TALK WITH A COUN
TERFEIT MONEY EXPERT.
Some Accomplishments of Daring Rogues
Bad Bills that Defy Detection.
Clevelsnl Ledger]
James H. Cables, of New York City, an
expert in detecting counterfeits coins and
bills, carries a stock of peculiar and start
ling information. Mr. Cables also has a
large collection of counterfeit bills and
coins, ranging from ten cent pieces to
$ 100 treasury bank notes. Some of the
most dangerous counterfeits tbat human
ingenuity has ever devised are in the pos
session, and he readily points out the de
fects which would scarcely be
detected by an ordinary handler of
money,
Charley Ulrich and Thomas Ballard are
among the artists represented in his col
lection. It will be remembered that
Ulrich was at one time an inmate of the
Ohio Penitentiary, where he executed an
exquisit steel engraving of the late Gov
ernor William Allen. Which was used
extensively in his last campaign. Ulrich
was pardoned iu 1876, r.nd through the
influence of some Christian woman he
embarked in the engraving business in
Columbus. This was too tame for the
handsome and dashing Russian, and in
less than a year he had a finely executed
$5 counterfeit bill on the First National
Bank of Tamauqua, Penn., on the market-
This was printed by his confederate, Ott.
one of the most expert printers in the bus
iness. These plates were captured in
1880, but the bills are still in circulation,
and are very dangerous. Tom Ballard,
who manufactured “queer” for the noted
Bess Tweed gang, was sent to the A ban}'
penitentiary in 1885 for thirty years, and
he is still there. It is thought that, al
though be is one of the most expert coun
terfeiters in the country, he is not as guil
ty as his accomplices, who escaped. A
petition signed by all the bankers iu
Albany was once sent to the President
asking for Ballard’s pardon, but it was
refused. Other experts represented in
Mr. Cable’s collection are Smith and
Brockway, who put the dangerous SIOO of
the issue of 1880 on the market. This
was an exce lent job and an amateur can
not see the deficiencies in their work.
The workmanship of some of the paper
money is as near perfection as it is pos
sible to conceive of In silver
money Mr. Cab es is supplied
with some very neat coun
terfeit work, and some choice productions
in gold pieces. Hour people can deliber
ately go through the amount of labor and
risk which is inyolyed for the small mar
gin of accruing profit from bogus gold
coin is one ot the mysteries of the inscrut
able counterfeiting profession. A coun
terfeit $5 gold piece, with its fine milling
and a mixture of silver, is on y distin
guishable from the genuine coin by a
slight unevenness of lettering. It is worth
at least $4 00, and will stand the Acid
test. The counterfeit $lO and S2O gold
pieces are all filled, and are light in
weight. Among ihe coins in Mr. Cables’
,possesion is a $5 gold piece bearing the
date of 1844. It is one of the most dan
gerous counterfeits in circulation, as it re
sists the acid test almost as well as the
genuine article. The color is good, but a
trifle yellowish. Strange as it may seem,
this coin is worth $4.47, only fifty-three
cents less than the genuine piece. Among
the collection are several Canadian bank
notes, which are very ingeniously execut
ed, but the lathe-work and paper are not
up to the standard. When asked about
the United notes and certificates,
and how counterfeits of them may be de
tected. Mr. Cable explained that all
United States notes were printed in sheets
of four. The system of lettering] and
numbering is such tbat any note
number which is not divisable by toar,
to correspond with the lettering, betrays
a counterfeit. On United States notes,
such asgold and silver certificates, the
numbers are usually small engraved
figures under the check letter representing
the number of the plate from which the
note is printed. Each plate has us num
ber, and the small figures have been prin
ted on all notes issued since 1862. The
counterfeiters of the first issue of $lO
treasury notes which hive been reported
are numbered 7, 19, 23, 52, and 53, but no
gold certificates have been counterfeited.
M ost of the treasury notes issued prior to
1869, printed on plain bank-note paper,
have been counterfeited, the fine engrav
ing proving no prevention. Since 1869 a
special paper, covered by the Wilcox
patent, has been in use, the distinctive
feature of which is a narrow line of
short blue fibre, running the entire length
of the sheet, so as to preserve the strength
and not mar the printing. Under |the
microscope the fibres have the apDearance
of coarse black hairs of different length
and shape, scattered over the surface,
in 1878 another fibre paper, known as the
Crane patent, was introduced, and is su
perior to any former invention. To
show the growth of counterfeiting it is
mentioned that since April last seventeen
new plates for counterfeit paper money
have been made, and the number during
1886 was twenty one. The Garfield $5
bill is a hard cue to counterfeit on ac
count of the bank number extending the
entire length of the back, yet a spurious
note of this series on a Cincinnati bank is
in circulation. There is a dangerous
counterfeit $lO treasury note on
the market, tin plate of which has not
been captured. It is poerly engraved,
but it is liable to catch the inexperienced.
The counterfeiters of silver have not been
idle since 1879 a gaug has been manu
facturing silver dollars which are worth
about twenty-five cents, and which are
given to the “sliovers” for fifty cents.
They are composed of Babbitt metal with
a thin plating, and are of full weight,
diameter and thickness, and have a good
ring The most dangerous flfty-cent
counterfeit in circulation is of the date of
1872, and it is made of tin, antimony and
Babbitt metal It is the regulation size,
but can be detected by its greasy feeling.
Four bogus $5 gold piece have been found
in circulation recently They are struck
from a die, and are excellent in workman
ship. Those of 1862 and and 1860 are of
the same weight and thickness as the gen
uine article, though they'are nothing but
plattum, heavily plated. One date 1881
is considered the most dangerous of this
denomination, Its value on analysis is
$4.4”; its specific gravity 16. in place of
17 20, and its weight only 3-10 of a grain
light, which, making allowance for abra
sion, is within the limits of . the genuine
article. It bears evidence of having been
made by the drop process, stains slightly
with acid and is a trifle thicker than the
genuine coin Fully as deceptive is a
counterfeit of the $5 gold piece of 1882,
valued at $4 63, Its read ng, milling,
lettering and l ing are all that the counter
feiter’s heart could desire, Experts pro
nounce it the finest imitation yet turned
out.
There is another class of people who are
almost as dangerous to society as counter
feiters, and they are those who secretly
advertise to furnish “genuine" bills at an
enormous discount. One of these is G, T.
Langley, No. 74, Tompkins Market, New
York.” He has recently sent out circu
lars by mail advertising to furnish sl, $2,
$5, $lO, ij 20 and SSO notes, at SSO per
SIOOO. Correspondence is entered into
and every effort made to capture the mon
ey of the man who wants something for
nothing Finally a brand new govern
ment $1 note is cut in two in the middle,
and half of it sent as a sample of the
“goods*” The sucker sends on SSO for
his supply and that is the last he hears of
“Langley.” He has not been rewarded with
the old time box of sawdust. Mr. Cables
says that Mr. Warren Ii Philips of Ash
tabula recently received one of the circu
lars, and at once answered it in hope of
bringing the swindler to justice Mr. Ca
bles exhibited the “sample” which was
sent to Mr Philips, The latter did not
send the $.50, and tried to gain a clew
from the mythical Langley The latter
became suspicious and ceased to answer
Mr Philips’ guarded queries.
The following figures, compiled from
the report of James J Brooks, chief of
the United States secret service, shows
the amount of different classes of counter
feit money captured during the year ; Uni
ted States Treasury notes, $2792 ; nation
al bank notes, sl6 *7 ; silver certificates,

SPIES AND SCHWAB.
A Bare Possibility That the Arch-Anar
chists Were Not at the Bomb-Throwing;.
Chicago, 111 , Feb. 23. —Lawyer John
C. llichberg claims to have discovered cy
idence that may prcfve of great impor
tance in the anarchists’ trial, During the
trial, witnesses swore that that they saw
two men supposed to be Spies and
Schwab, in an alley at the time of the ex
plosion, but the information #btained by
Mr. Richberg, substantiated by the affida
vits of citizens of Pullman and Kinsington,
would go to show that the men who were
in the alley were Otto and Carl Blank,
alias Anderlc, desperate characters and
avowed socialists.
The Blanks fled from the city last June,
and it was only through the arrest of Carl
at Dresden, Saxony, and inquiry here as
to bis reputation by Richberg and the
German consul that his connection with
the Haymarket tragedy was ascertained
Mr. Richberg has been pursuing an inves
tigation on behalf of the German consul
for the purpose of identifying Carl Blank,
and on comparing the photographs ot the
two brothers he found a striking resem
blance between them and August Spies and
Schwab in the evening or by gaslight.
These men were undoubtedly at ll iymar
ket, and Richberg says they must have
been taken for Spies and Schwab by the
witnesses.
FIGHTING A MONOPOLY.
The American Cotton Oil Trust is no'
such a powerful monopoly as it evidently
aimed to be at ihe beginning of the pies
ent cotton season. When the cotton seed
of the present cotton crop began to appear
in the market, the monopoly had secured
about 98 per cent, of the cotton seed oil
mills of the country, aud had about scared
the other 2 per cent, into compliance with
its policy. It is alleged that it began the
season's business with the avowed object
of forcing down the price of cotton seed
and of forcing up the price of its own
products. This was very good policy for
itself but a very bad one for tbe cotton
planters. It was so bad for planters that
they came to the conclusion that it
would’nt do for them at all.
They did not see any way, however,-to
defeat the scheme of the monopoly. It
was plain to them that opposition mills
were out of the question. The capital to
build them was lacking, and, besides, it
would be impossible for them to compete
successfully with the monopoly. The
planters eyen talked about co-operative
mills, and also about combining to with
hold their cotton seed fro m the market
with the Hea of forcing the monopoly to
offer a more reasonable price for it. All
of their suggestions, however, were re
garded as impracticable, because of the
difficulty of securing harmonious action
throughout so great an extent of territory.
Finally, however, a great many of th*
planters came to the conclusion that it
would pay them better to use the seed for
fertilizing purposes than to sell it to the
monopoly on the monopoly's own terms.
This conclusion was a wise one, and tbe
monopoly soon discovered that to get
enough seed to run their mills they would
have to pay somewhere near what th
seed is worth.
Cotton planters are now getting a bet
ter price for seed. They have discovered
a way to fight the monopoly successfully.
They have only to utilize their discovery
to secure a fair price for their cotton seed
This seed is valuable to them as a ferti
lizer, and if they will always use it for
fertilizing purposes, when the monopoly
reluses to pay what it is worth, they will
have the monopoly at their mercy instead
of being at the mercy of the rnonopo y.
It has been stated that the American
Cotton Oil Trust is the Stand
ard Oil Company. Whether it is or
not, it is a very powerful monopoly, and
pursues about the same methods that the
Standard Oil Company does. The latter
company is reaching out in many direct
ions foi ways to profitably employ its sur
plus millions. It is said that it is aiming
to control the production of the naval
stores manufacturers If this be true, tbe
manufacturers should be careful that they
do not permit themse ves to be drawn
wholly within its power.—Savannah
News.
“Owing to ill-health,” says Bill Nye,
“I will sell at my residence in town 29,
range 18, west, according to government
survey, one crushed-raspberry colored
cow, aged six years. She is a good
miikster and is not afraid of the cars—
or anything else. She is a cow of un
daunted courage and gives milk fre
quently. To a man who does not fear
death iu any form she would be a great
boon. She is very, much attached to
her home at present, by means of a trace
chain, but she will be sold to any one
who will agree to treat her right. She
is out-fourth shorthorn and three-fourths

fied. I will also throw in a double-bar
relled shotguu which goes with her.
In May she generally goes away some
where for a week or two and returns
with a tall red calf with long, wabbly
legs. Her name is Rose, and I would
prefer to sell her to ft nou-reeideut.”
“Do you know what kind of a light
that was referred to in the question,

LETTER FROM REV. SAM. P. JONES.
Mit. Editor: I want to say some
things of departed sister Timmons, wife of
Rev. B. E L. Timmons. Sometimes we
say, when we undertake % task like this,
that “we want to write the obituary of a
friend,” but because Jesus said, “Whoso
ever liveth and believeth in me ahaU
never die,” I feel like lam writing of the
living She lives to day more truly than
she ever lived, for she truly believed in
Him who promised eternal life to those
who followed Him.
I saw her and knew hei as a bride. I
have followed, in sympathy and love,
Brother Timmons and his consecrated
wife wherever the Bishop has assigned
them, for more than ten years. She was
an ideal wife, a devoted mother, a con
secrated Christian. Her life was hid with
Christ in God. Few women had so many
friends in the social circle thrown about
them. She loved her neighbors as herself.
Her life was a genial, social one, and in
her quiet way, with deep undercurrent of
sympathy and kindness, she was ever a
benediction in the community where she
lived.
Brother Timmons is now a member of
my family, and I have bad occasion to
see the letters of syrapalhy and condo
lence which have poured in upon him
from all quarters, and the tender and
kind words of scores of friends have not
only cheered his heart, but they have also
shown him how wonderfully Sister Tim
mons had won upon their affections and
their esteem.
One said: “The loss is irreparable *o
your children, for now they can never
know her genuine worth as a Christian
mother—one ever ready to sacrifice self
for the sake of her children.”
Another said: “No stroke is compar
able in force aud poignancy to that which
sweeps from our embrace such priuceless
virtues when embodied by the wife of our
bosom. Gone up in a chariot of fire, your
dear companion sings with the angels,
‘Rest sweetly on the bosom of the Sa
vior.*
Another: “Earth is poorer, but heaven
is richer , because she lias left here and
gone there.”
Another: “My heart is sad when I
think of your great loss. Your right hand
has been severed. She has fallen, she has
risen, and will watch you every step until
life’s conflicts are o’er and you shall like
wise fall and rise.”
An other: “Though I met her but once
I was impressed with her sweet tempered
Christian spirit.”
Another; “I do not know when death
so startled and overwhelmed me as when
it laid its hand upon my precious Sister
Timmons. The absent one is present
w'ith the Lord, she is walking and talking
with Jesus, whom she loved as she loved
no being on earth.”
These are but the sincere utterances of
only a few of the many. True, Brother
Timmons’ loss is irreparable, only as God
shall make up to him. She shared his
joys, his sorrows, his labors; their hearts
had been blended by the light of that Sun
of Righteousness, whose rays give unity,
and love and peace.
Brother Timmons appreciates, and must
have our sympathy and prayers. He is
leaning upon the promises which are a
sure support against despair.

in every instance, but as the ruling an
nouncements.

EDISOX.AT FORT MYERS.
The Climate Proving; Beneficial—At Work
on New Inventions.
Thomas A. Edison, the greatest of all
inventors, now at his Florida homo in
Fort Myers, though still feeble is in
better spirits. The balmy Florida air
is having a soothing effect upon his
lungs, and it is hoped that he will soon
be bimself again. It was his intention
to have come early in the season, and
one of his first works was to have been
the lighting of the town with electric
lights. This plan, it is thought, will
not be carried out at present, as he is
devoting his entire energy to perfecting
and completing various wonderful in
ventions. Notwithstanding his feeble
health he has prepared to work, if one
can judge by the number of odd-looking
apparatus aud machines that are arriv
ing. It is amusing to see what a wide
berth the colored folks give this ma
chinery. They wont touch any of it for
fear of starting off some ‘‘infernal ma
chine.”
Edison is now at work on his electrical
railway invention, but devotes a portion
of bis time to experimenting and work
ing on several other queer looking ma
chines, the purposes and uses of which
the News correspondent has thus far
failed to discover.
The other day a countryman, who had
just read that Edison was at work on an
invention to extract all kinds of food
direct from the earth, air and water, ac
complishing in a few hoars with his ma
chine what it took nature years to do,
said to the News correspondent : “I’ll
be gol darned if I am going to plant any
more corn. I’m going to enter into a
contract with Edison to work up my
‘dirt’ into food compounds.”

When this fact was learned property own

raised prices on lots to such enormous

How many southern cities are doing

SELF-TORTURE.
An Indian Give* a Fee® Exhibition of Hi
Grief, i
A Sioux Indian in Buffalo Bill’s Wl!d
West show that has been in New York
several months, Musses by name, which,
being interpreted, means Iron, receive*!
word the other day of the death of his
brother at the Pine Ridge Indian agency
in Dakota, Following the customs of the
Sioux and ot all the northern Indian
tribes, Mussea began to express his grief
at his brother’s death by tort iring himself.
His object in this was to prove that his af
fection for his brother was 30 great that
lie would willingly have shared with his
brother the pains of the latter’s sickness
and death. Mussea whittled several
pieces of hickory wood into shapes resem
bling that of a common meat skewer
Then he stripped himself, made several
pairs of deep gashes in different parts of
his body and passed the skewers through
the gashes nnaer the skin. He put three
such skewers in each leg and one in his
breast and paraded through the Indian
quarters in the Madison Square Garden
from 10 o’clock in the morning until noon.
Buffalo Bill then persuaded him to take
the skewers out. Broncho Bill, the In
dian interpreter of the Wild West, told a
reporter that the Indians, while on the
plains, when in mourning in tuis fashion,
were accustomed to hang the lie.il of a
buffalo or a cow upon the skewer in the
breast, and to leave it there until the
flesh was pulled through. Mussea being
unable to get a buffalo bead, hung a
heavy chain upon his breast. The other
Indians lookod on with great admiration
while he was undergoing the torture.
Mussea retired to bis tepee afterward and
entered upon a silent last, which will last
for several days.
TOBACCO.
It is now time hr plant tobacco seed in
this section and we trust that all enter
prising farmers will give the article a fair
test upon the different soils of their land.
Seed for this purpose can be obtained free
of cost from the State Agricultural De
partment upon application to Commis
sioner Henderson, by letter or otherwise,
the recipient being required merely to
make a report of the results obtained by
planting. With the seed is furnished, al
so, a manual for beginners, which will
give all information necessary to the suc
cessful culture of the tobacco plant.
We are informed by the commissioner
that the results reported last year, have
pretty well established the fact that the
soil of Georgia are well adapt
ed to the growth of tobacco, and that the
only bar to its profitable culture is a waDt
of knowledge or skill among our farmers
in preparing it for maraet. This, of
course, cm only be gained by experience,
but the knowledge is not difficult to ob
tain, and the process can easily be learned
while cotton is growing.
The departmen has on hand, in addition
to the tobacco seed, for distribution to the
farmers through agricultural clubs and
granges a small quantity of other seeds
embracing several varieties of cotton,
corn, watermelon and peanuts which will
do for experiments. Experiments when
seed are free are practically costless and
the resu t sometimes are very valuable.
Every farmer should make an effort to
advance his profession and enlarge his
pioflts.—Macon Telegraph.
GREAT ENTERPRISES.
Baltimore Manufacturer’s Record..]
The old Etowah Iron property of Geor
gia lias at last passed into new hands, and
wonderful developments are now prom
ised. Many years ago some considerable
industrial enterprises were in operation on
this property, but with the war there
came destruction. After remaining idle
for all these years, the entire tract, em
bracing some 17,000 acres of land, has,
been purchased by an Atlanta company,
of which Mr. J. W. Rankin is president.
The company proposes to establish some
very exiensive enterprises there. It is
claimed that they will build four fur
naces. a rail mill and other works, prob
ably at anew town which they wi 1 found,
to be known as Etowah. The old flour
ing mill, the reminants of which are still
to be seen, and which when in operation,
before the war, produced a large quan
tity of flour, will, it is said, be rebuilt in
the most improved style.
This undertaking is, we hope, in good
hands. The men who have organized it
are well known business men of much
w ealth, and we trust they will be able to
carry out the great enterprise which they
haye planned on such a {urge scale.
A MiLUONAIRK OF IUE MINES.
Salt Lake Tribune.}
A miner in Leadville, Col., who can
neither read nor write, is worth to-day
at least $3,000,000. Four years ago h
hadn’t a penny except what he earned
from day to day as a miner. His name
is John L. Morrissey . He is a young man,
not over 22 or 23. The Crown Point
mine, like Tom Bowen’s Golconda, was
just about paying expenses. The owners
offered to sell her for $40,000. Morrissey
went to Chicago and interested Diamond
Joe Reynolds in the matter. Reynolds
knew that Morrissey was an authority
on mining, even if he could not write his
own name. He finally purchased Crown
Point, agreeing to give Morrissey half in
terent after the original sum was repaid.
Within thirty days they struck a vein of
high class ore that has yielded them a
monthly income of SIB,OOO apiece ever
since. There is said to be $5,000,000
worth of ore in sight. Morrissey cannot
even tell the time of day. It is a stock
joke among the boys if you ask Morrissey
what o’clock it is for him to pull from his
fob a SSOO watch and, with a condesend
ing air, tell you to “luk for yerself, and
then ye’ll know lan not lying to yez.”
