Washington. 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.

liarrisburg, Pa., April 20. —The great
battle for United States senator ended
Wednesday without an election, and
unless Gov. Stone calls an extra session
at which there should be an election,
Pennsylvania will have only one repre
sentative in the senate during the next
two years. After the taking 1 of tha
ballot in joint convention a motion was
offered by Mr. Fow (denx.), of Phila
delphia, and adopted, that a vote of
thanks be tendered the officers and
that the convention adjourn sine die.
The legislature will adjourn finally at
noon to-day and under the law the joint
convention must assemble it that hour,
hence yesterday's motion to adjourn
finally.
There was no change in the v ►ting',
the friends of Mr. Quay standing bj
him and the anti-Quay republicans by
I!. F. Jones, of Pittsburg, while the
democrats cast their votes for George
A. .Tenks, who has been their candidate
since the deadlock began. The sen
atorial contest began on January IT.
On that day Mr. Quay received his high
est vote. 112. This -was !■'> les, than
the number necessary to a choice and
he never came nearer an election dur
ing the more than three months of the
struggle. No such bitter political
contest has probably ever before been
waged in this country.
Hoth sides promise that t'he contest
for supremacy will be carried into
every county in the state and waged
incessantly until final supremacy is
assured. The next tight will be on
the chairmanship of the state commit
tee. \fter that will come tin- battle
for the control of the state convention,
which will nominate a candidate for
state treasurer.
The Nyee resolution, calling upon
the attorney general to prosecute all
those, including ex-Senator Quay, who
'had been charged with receiving inter
est on the state's money, almost precip
itated a riot in.the senate yesterday.
It was a bitter fight between two fac
tions, and finally the resolution was
laid on the table by a vote of 3r! to 1.
Philadelphia, April 20. Unexpected
ly to almost every person interested
the prosecution in the trial of M. S
Quay for conspiracy closed its cast
yesterday after nine days full of a rgu
mcnt, clashes of counsel anil testimony
largely of an expert nature. The gen
eral expression of opinion had been
that the trial would drag through many
more days, and when District Attorney
Tlotherniel announced that he had eon
eluded there were expressions of sur
prise from all parts of the court room.

Philadelphia, April 22.—Matthew
Stanley Quay was yesterday declared
by a jury to Ito not guilty of the charge
of conspiring to use for his own unlaw
ful gain and profit the funds of the
state of Pennsylvania deposited in the
People's bank of this city.
The ease went to tie' jury Thursd ay
afternoon and four ballots were taken
before the final decision was reached.
The first ballot stood 10 to 2 for acquit
tal, the next two stood 11 tot. The
one standing out for conviction by this
time had very much modified 'his rea
sons for conviction, and when the last
ballot was taken he voted for acquittal.
The jurors who stood out for convic
tion are said to have been Charles i'en
seler and Kd ward Mevan. Penseler
voted for acquittal after the first Iml
lot, but lievan held out until Friday
morning, when the final ballot was
taken.
District Attorney Hothermel was
questioned regarding the remaining in
dictments. He said there are three of
Jliem and they are still pending, but he
would not say what his course will be
regarding them. In two of these in
dictments Senator Quay is charged
with conspiring with Hopkins and Hay
wood.as he was in the one under which
he was acquitted. In the remaining
indictment lie is charged with conspir
acy jointly with his son. lliehard I!.
Quay. This charge grew out of the loan
of #IOO,OOO to young Quay, obtained
through a deposit of that much of the.
<tate money in the People's bank. Sen
ator Quay's lawyers say the district at
torney picked out the indictment on
which he could make the best case for
the trial just ended and he will not
dare bring the senator to the bar
again.
Political friends of Senator Quay are
urging him to bring criminal prosecu
tions against those enemies who they
claim are behind the prosecution of
their favorite, but the senator will not
indicate what his course in this respect
may be.
Ifarrisburg, Pa., April 22.—Gov. Stone
yesterday appointed Ma'tthew Stanley
Quay as senator to serve until the next
session of the legislature. The appoint
ment is addressed to the president of
the United States senate and it is state*!
in the letter to be made under the au
thority of Clause 2 of Section 3 of Ar
ticle 1 of the constitution of the United
States. ■
John Wannamaker las ni«h: made
the following statement relative to the
acquittal of M. S. Qrtay and the la tier's
appointment by the governor as sen.
a tor:
"The acquittal of Mr. Quay will be a
disappointment to every lover of jus
tice and friend of good government
in the country, and will emphasize the
difficulty of convincing potent political
defendants charged with public crime,
no matter how clear, convincing and
overwhelming the evidence may be.
The istory of the .corrupt use and
speculation in public money in Penn
sylvania is an old one and has been a
matter of notorious accusation against
a long line of state treasurers and po
litical bosses for man,v years.
"The case which just terminated, un
like previous aecusiftions, was founded
exclusively upon documentary proof
in hi?s own handwriting and that of his
friends and confederates. The evi
dence of his guilt did not depend upon
the veracity of any man or men, but
was supported exclusively by his own
letter and by written entries and state
ments recorded by his friends and sup
porters. From the day the prosecution
against liiiu was instituted until the
verdict was rendered he has sought by
every device to obstruct the effort of
the commonwealth's officers to produce
the written evidence of his mis loing
and to bring him to trial.
"This is a new chapter of shame for
Pennsylvania, a new record of failure
in the administration of justice that
will do much to encourage eorruption
ists and public plunderers generally
throughout the country. The first
shout of defiant exultation over his ac
quittal proceeded from the governor,
who promptly appointed him a senator
without authority, and in violation of
law and in defiance of the will of the
people as expressed by the legislature.
It is fitting in every way that the cap
stone should have been put upon the
edifice of boss rule and machine job
bery by the (Juay represent iti\i sin the
governor's chair."
Senator Moies Penrose said: "The
appointment of Senator Quay by the
governor is the logical result of the
situation. Mr. Quay's leadership in
the republican party and his candidacy
for re-election as senator were made
issues in the gubernatorial campaign
of last fall by Hhe democrat party and
that faction of the republican party
which on election day generally turned
in for the democratic candidate. The
republican candidate for ynvernor after
a campaign of unparalleled rillification. I
was elected by a great plurality and
Mr. Quay's candidacy- this issue liav
ing iieen forced by the opposition was
; ustiihicd by the people of the state."
"Senator Quay's failure to be elected
being the result of treason and per
fidy to the party by a bolting minority,
his appointment naturally followed j
after his acquittal."

THE HARP-0 CHORD.

Carl Brown, a musical genius of Co
lumbus, ()., has invented a strange new
instrument, which he calls the "harp-o
chord."
It is one of the most unique instru
ments of the present time and is the
first combination wind and string in
strument of its kind in existence. It
consists of a high-grade cornet har
monica or mouth harp and zither of
peculiar construction, strung in simple
open chords.
In shape the instrument differs from
any other, it having a large head, in

sides gradually taper toward the lower
end, giving the sounding board a slant
ing position.
At the upper end of one side of the
instrument, near the head, is a slot in
which the harmonica is inserted so that
its tunes when played will enter di
rectly into the body of the instrument
and emanate at the sound-hole under
the strings.
Concerning a harmonica with a
sounding board over which are a series
of stiings, changes the tone of the harp
and gives it exceptional volume and a
vibratory effect.
The strings are arranged in simple
open chords. In practice the instru
ment is held vertically against the body

The air or tune is played upon the
harmonica and the chords upon the
strings with the thumb or a finger of
the right hand, producing exquisite j
harmony. The tone of the mouth harp I
is not only increased in volume, but pos
sesses a richness and mellowness before

"The question that confronts the
Creole to-day,' writes lfarrydele Hall
mark of social life in New Orleans; in
the Ladies' Home Journal, "is, 'Will the
money of the Americans rule the city
socially in the beginning of the twen
tieth century?' While money rules less
in New Orleans than in any other city
of its size in the United States, still a
certain amount is absolutely necessary
for a person to keep up the exterior of
a gentleman's position. Yet people of
good family and very limited'means do
hold the best social positions, because
they have learned to give up the chaff
and spend their money on the wheat.
Again, people of no influence, as New
Orleans counts it, but who have plenty
ol' money, tact and social qualifications,
can obtain and have obtained good
standing. Hlood and money together
are good; money and refinement are
not a specially favored condition, as are
the two others, for storming New Or
leans society; but any of the three
qualifications alone would, have a hard
time of it. Narrowing it down, it re
mains that money alone cannot enter
New Orleans society to-day; refinement
aione cannot, but blood —well, it has
held and does hold the lead. The at

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

.Mutton Fritters.
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

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

chutney is thought hot enough. Serve
