April 20.—Probably the most important capture in the history of the secret service was made Tuesday in Philadelphia Ijy Chief Wilkie and his agents when they arested Arthur Taylor and Bald.vin S. Bredell, the makers of the famous counterfeit '"Monroe head" $-100 silver certificate. Their arrests were followed Wednesday by the capture in Lancaster, Pa., of William M. Jacobs and W. L. Kendig, two prominent cigar manufacturers, and .Tames Burns, who was in Jacobs' employ. There were also captured tlie original plate from which the silver certificates were printed: a new SIOO counterfeit plate and a new SSO plate, and also three sets of plates for the printing of counterfeit revenue stamps, rolls, other paraphernalia and about five tons of paper and a large amount of counter feit stamps. The "Monroe head" plate and also the stamp plates and the other materials were found in Lancaster, where the printing was done. The plates for the new SI,OO note and the SSO note were found in Philadelphia. The officials have taken possession of the factories of the eigarmakers, and have also attached their bank account. Taylor and Bredell. it is said, were cap tured while at work on the new plates. They are young men who were em ployed in Philadelphia by different firms, but some time ago started in business for themselves. They are said to be expert engravers and never before have been under suspicion. Plans were set on foot a year ago to apprehend: the counterfeiters and, aid ing on the advice of Assistant Secre tary Vanderlip, John K. Wilkie. a news paper man of Chicago who was known to have done some very clever detective work, was sent for and placed in charge of the secret service bureau. lie laid his plans and on February, ts;)S, found the elite which resulted in these important captures. Lancaster. Pa.. April 70. -Warrants for the arrest of Jacobs, his two book keepers. Henry lira! Her and Simon Kleinordlinger. W. L. Kendig and his foreman, James Burns; "John Doe" end "I!. F. Zercher," were sworn out bv United States Commissioner Ed munds. of Philadelphia. Secret Serv ice Agent Wilkie. accompanied by a dozen secret service detectives, came here Wednesday. Chief Wilkie first issued attachments on the Fulton na tional bank, the Farmers' national bank and the Northern national bank on the deposits of Jacobs in these insti tutions, amounting to $23,000. Jacobs was then arrested and later all those named above with the exception of "John Doe" and "B. F. Zercher," these latter names being undoubtedly ficti tious. The accused were taken before Uni ted States Commissioner Montgomery and waived a hearing. District \t tornev Beck, of Philadelphia, wa - pres ent to conduct the government's case. He asked that the bail be placed at a high figure, saying it was the most dangerous counterfeiting scheme ever evolved in this country. The opera tions, he said, were unparalleled in their audacity and in the mechanical ingenuity displayed, the most expensive in the history of the government in the last 25 yours. He said it was apparent that Bra'lier and Kleinordlinger were merely tools and he asked that they be released. The commissioner fixed Ja cobs' bail at $43,000 and that of Kendig and Burns at $25,000 each. Kendig was released on bail, but Jacobs and Burns were sent to jail and will lw taken to Philadelphia. The only defect in the original coun terfeit was that the notes were print ed on paper made by pasting three pieces together and placing the silk fibre between the first and second pieces. To overcome t'his defect the conspirators .it is alleged, built the machinery and opened a plant for manufacturing the paper. Philadelphia. April 20. A sensational 'irrest was made in this aity last night in connection with the capture of the counterfeiting gang. Harvey K. N'ew itt. who was the assistant district at torney in this cit.v during the admin istration of President Harrison, was arrested on a warrant sworn out bv Chief Wilkie. charging him wi:h brib ing? Detective McMaifus, of the Phila delphia office. He was given a hear ing before Commissioner Edmunds and I held in $1.1,000 bail, which was fur- ' nished. It was shown thai on March 0 Xewitt gave McManns SSOO as a bribe and on March 2H SSOO more. ThU money was turned over to Wilkie as soon as it was received. According to one of the officers. Ken dig. of Lancaster, suspected early this year that he and his confederates were being watched by secret service men in Lancaster. He came here and en gaged \ ewitt as a go-between to bribe Officers Hums and McManns, who were working on the case. Burns was not. approached, but Xewitt saw McM.rius and the latter agreed to accept the bribe. All of the meetings between Xewitt and McManns were witnessed by members of Wilkie's force, and the evidence against him i- said to be posi tive. Porto Itlrans are Ilis«a(Ulicd.

If it be essential and necessary that girls should be w ell acquainted with all matters connected with the manage ment of money, then there can be no better method adopted for enabling them to become thus acquainted with those matters than by granting them a weekly or monthly allowance of such, amount as their parents or guardians may be able to afford. Hut if such an al lowance is granted it should lie given to cover certain specified expenses, such as dress and other personal necessities. An allowance is not a mere privilege, but in a certain sense, a girl's right. To withhold it is an injustice not only to the girl, but to the man whom she way marry and whose money will be intrust ed to her care to spend wisely. Indeed, it might be said without hesitation that it is a father's duty to see that his daughters not only understand the value of money, but the difficulty of earning the same. It was the poet Young, a somewhat dismal and lugubrious author, who told us in his "Night Thoughts" that "we take no note of time but from ils loss"— and to this may be added that they only know t he value of money who have not got any. A girl who caters for herself will have an opportunity of showing her individual taste, and it gives her a fuel ing of self-reliance. —Chicago Daily News. WIVES BADLY NEEDED.

Frying batter, one-half pound o£ thinly sliced cold mutton, two table spoonfuls of chutney, a little cayenne and curry powder. Have the mutton thinly sliced and neatly trimmed; spread each slice with some of the chut ney, and roll it up. Have the frying batter ready (you will find the recipe below), dip each roll into this, using a skewer for the purpose. When a deep pan of frying fat is so hot that a faint smoke is rising from it, putin a few rolls at a time and fry till a pretty light brown. Lift out of the fat and drain on paper. If you like your dishes very highly seasoned, sprinkle each fritter with a dust of cayenne and curry pow der. or these may be omitted if the chutney is thought hot enough. Serve piled up on a lace paper. Hand with them brown or tomato sauce. For the frying batter, one-quarter teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter pound of tlowr. one quarter pint of tepid water, one table spoonful of oil or melted dripping, the whites of two eggs. Mix the flour aoid salt together in a basin. Then sitir smoothly into the tepid water and oi' or melted dripping. Heat the whites of eggs 1 o a stiff froth, and, lastly, add them very lightly to the butter. —Hos- ton Globe. Ilii»l>nn(l* Worthies*.

Many a woman understands 'managing a husband better than she does doing the square thing by him. and many a man understands and practices doir.s the square thing by other men who would be affronted if he were to be told that, judged by his own business stand ards, lie habitually dealt unfairly with his own wife."
