One ol Whom Is n Woman, tho Costa ltlcan ItoolrittoiUt Trtod to Put Into Circulation In tho Boutli American Ucpuhllc Million! ot Dol lars ot Uogus Money--I'nlluro ot One of tho Most Daring Swindles ot the Age. From tho Philadelphia. Press. There waa Hvlntr In San Jose, the capital of Costa Itlca, when Bernard Soto was president of that republic, an Individual named Frederlco Mora. He was of Illustrious parentage. Ills Grandfather and his uncle had each been president of the republic before Coto. Ills family wqh wealthy -and hlEhly respected. But he himself was the black sheep of that family. President Soto conceived tho Idea, of foundlnp a paper In New York which should bo devoted to the exploiting of the aBricultural and other ndvantascs ot Costa men, with the Idea of at tracting thither capital and ImmlKra tlon. Ho succeeded In obtaining1 from the legislature of the republic a grant of JSOO a month for this purpose. Cast in? about for a suitable editor to con duct the enterprise, his choice fell upon ' Mora, who had many brilliant quali ties and whoee social prestige was such aa to condone his individual offenses. Mora was accordingly made editor and dispatched to New York. A WOMAN IN THE CASE. For several months he conducted the paper on tho appointed lines. Mean while he had formed associations among a number of Cuban and other revolutionaries and among ooclallstfl of a pronounced type. Inflamed by their doctrines he began to Introduce a seditious and revolutionary spirit Into what was to have been a purely agricultural and commercial sheet. The government of Costa Rica grew alarm ed and flnnlly stopped the paper. At this time Mora, who had aban doned his family In Costa Rica, was very Intimate with a young woman named Mrs. Eugenia Reineman, living at 108 West Fourteenth street. Mora himself was stopping at tho same place, and here became friendly with a Dr. De Requesens, a man of similar ly fascinating traits. In short, he played Paris to Mora's Menelaus. But this does not seem, to Introduce any Trojan complications between the .two friends. About this time there came along General Benjamin Ruiz, a full-blooded negro, a native of the United States of Colombia. Ho was a, great friend of Mora. The triumvirate organized a gigantic scheme to counterfeit the money of all the Central American re publics. According to the story sub sequently told by Mrs. Reineman, Mora used Rutz and De Requesens as cats paws. He made De Resquesens print $200,000 in fifty pesos notes on tho Na tional bank of the United States of Colombia. These he placed in charge of Ruiz. RUIZ ARRESTED. The latter cot as far as Bogota and then disposed of about $60,000 to a very prominent merchant. But before he could do any more business he was dis covered and thrown Into prison on Aug. 2, 189C. The conspirators, In no wise disconcerted by their first failure, set to work to produce halt a million dollars' worth of counterfeits upon the National Bank of Costa Rica. In Feb., 1S97, the money was all ready. Mora proposed to De Requesens that he should take charge of the disposal of the counterfeit money In Costa Rica. It was originally planned to ship it in a piano, but an old sofa was substi tuted. This was shipped to Costa Rica by way of New Orleans. On March 2, 1897, Mrs. Reineman and De Requesens sailed from New Orleans for Costa Rica. In Jan., 1897, one of the counterfeit notes on the bank of Colombia had shown ut In San Jose. The attention of the president of the Bank of Costa Rica had been drawn to It. He prompt ly pronounced It a counterfeit, and, having communicated with the United States government, detectives were put on the track of the conspirators. De Requesens and his Helen arrived at Port Litnon all unconscious of these developments. Before landing Mrs. Reineman concealed under her dress four packages of bills which the con spirators had brought in a satchel from New York. These alio succeeded In smuggling through the Custom House. The next day, after landing, the chief of police and his private secretary, Igleslas, arrived In Limon by a special Men who work .... 1.. .... 1 .u iJSJC water, or are ex posed to the cold or damp are prone to surfer from that most painful dis ease, rheumatism, This Is a disease of the blood and s wan umy ue per manently cured by going back to first principles and driving out all impurities, and filling the ar teries with a new, rich, red, healthy life-stream. - This is the rea- on why Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Dls covery is an unfailing cure for that disease. It U the greatest of all blood medicines. It creates a keen and hearty appetite. It cures all disorders of the digestion and makes the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food perfect. It Invigor ates the liver and tones the nerves. It Is the greatest of all known blood-makers and blood -purifiers. It builds firm, healthy flesh, but does not make corpulent people more corpulent. Unlike cod liver oil, it does not make flabby flesh, but tears down the unhealthy tissues that constitute cor pulency, carries off and excretes them, and replaces them with the solid, muscular tis sues of health. It drives all Impurities, disease germs and acids from the blood.

Every other person who had held communication with Do Resquesens on his arrival nt Llinim was arrested, not on the charge of being counterfeiters, but as revolutionists. Evidence of tho formpr crime was not Interfered with. Two secret service men were put on her track: she was allowed to go to San Jose, where, through the medium of a hotel waiter named Walcott, sh'o put In circulation about $20,000. Tho balance of $80,000 was, in fact, found In IiIb possession when ho was arrested. THE SOFA DISCOVERED. The arrest of tho waiter, Walcott, did not occur until after Mrs. Rclnemnn's return to this country. His, confession was tho first piece pt direct evidence that Incriminated Iter and her para mour. Tho discovery of tho sofa soon followed. In It wero found 4,033 notes. The details of the trial of the con spirators in New York arc too familiar to need more than a hasty summary. On Oct. 25 Morn, and De Resquesens, together with Houseman, one of their alleged accomplices, wero brought up before Judge Tenney, In tho criminal branch of the Tinted States circuit court. IMrs. Reineman had purchased her own immunity by turning state's evidence. She wns the star witness. Her testimony Whs equally damaging to Mora and to Do Resquesens. On tho 2Sth the Jury brought In a verdict of guilty against both of them. House man was acquitted. Mora and De Res. quesens are now In Ludlow street Jail awn I tins sentence for one of the most gigantic and far-reaching conspiracies known in tho history of counterfeiting. MANICURE'S NEW ART. Extrnvngnnccs Done Away with by the French Method - The Dny Passed for Cutting and Gouging, Pink Paste, nnd Long, Pointed. Polished Nails. From tho New York Sun. "One hears occasionally," said a manicure the other day, "of the growth In popularity here of the French method of manicuring. In reality, this method practically supplanted every other several years ago. It consists chiefly of avoiding the use of steel In struments and treating the fingers en tirely with Ivory Instruments. Now the average New York manicure would never think of putting steel to a pa tient's fingers except to cut tho nails with scissors when they are long or trim the skin to free It from hang nails. The cutting of the cuticle about the base of the nail has long since been given up by the best operators, and a manicure who resorts to such a prac tice must have learned her business very badly or a long time ngo, and kept herself uninformed about modern advances. I don't believe that any first-class manicuring establishment today could produce one among Its operators who would do such a thing. "The old days of gouging and clip ping are passed. The method of cut ting the cuticle about the base of tho nail that was followed when persons first began to be manicured was too absurd and painful to remain popular very long. Now the effect which used to be produced with n knife Is accom plished by pressing back the flesh with the end ot an Ivory instrument, and this is the natural treatment. Carving out the right shape by the simple pro cess of cutting away the edge of the cuticle was one of the barbaric fea tures of a new science which disap peared when It became more refined. THE FRENCH METHOD. "Indeed, the French method of mnnt curlng Is so thoroughly In use now that It may be said to be practically the usual way. Some little variations from It are occasionally practiced, but they are not essential. One will occa sionally find a manicure scraping the Inside of the nail with a sharp Instru ment, and there Is nothing worse that she could do. It scratches the Inside surface of the nail, nnd when the hands are made the least damp by heat tho scratches on the nail show, they become darkened by dust or other things moreover, and it Is Impossible to keep them looking clean. No part of the French system Is better than that which keeps sharp steel away from the inside of tho nail. Maybe it was the reasonableness of this system that finally put an end to the extrava gances of which some women used to be guilty. Nowadays there are few women to be seen with their hands all gummed up with tho red paste that used to be put on to color the nail. Who has not seen often, when mani curing first began to be general, wo men with the skin about their nails cut and Jagged and then covered over With pink paste? That practice has entirely dlsapeared and so have the long claw-like nails which were at one time regarded as exaotly the proper thing. "Then women spent much of their spare time in polishing their nails, and two or three women have come to me here with their nails worn entirely through from ceaseless polishing. All that has dlsapeared now, and the san ity Introduced by the French method which abolished all cutting and scrap ing, succeeded In making out of mani curing, which had been a mere affec tation, a matter of sensible habit. Men had their influence, too, In bringing about this change. When they got In to the habit of having their nails treat ed It was not, of course, to be expected that thev would wish to have them polished to a high degree of glossiness, pinked with paste, and long nnd point ed. They Just gave up these extrava gances and the women followed their example. The result Is that the ex travagances and excesses of the prac tice almost entirely disappeared. MANICURE MULTIPLYING. "The Increase In the number of New York's manicures has been astonish ingly large within the past three years, and even more noticeable has been the alteration In the character of the busi ness. The business Is said to be easy enough to learn for a girl who has any qualifications for It. Usually It Is learned by apprenticeship In one of the larger places. A girl will go In there when she is about 14 years old, servo as a kind of maid and operate sometimes on tho hands of the other manicures about the place, and watch them whenevershe gets an opportunity. Sometimes when' women go to theso places .to be taught and pay a fixed sum for the privilege of watching the women at work and trying their own skill occasionally on the woman with whom they aw working. Within a few months, provided that she gets practice enough, the rudiments of the work ought to be familiar enough to the beginner. Her own deftness and delicacy will, of course, have much to do with her success, They ore the only things which cannot be taught, and sometimes practice provides d very good substitute for them. Ability to wont quicKiy ana well comes on W from a practice, in spue or tho Jarre1 1 num ber of manicures already In the busi ness, the crowd of beginners does not diminish. Nearly every placo has Its apprentices, "Tha days of tho manicure, with her prlvato establishment, In which flho worked alone or possibly with one or two assistants, seem to be nearlng their end rapidly. Somo women arc able to do business In this way, but not many of them. Formerly 75 cents and $1 wero the customary fees for a manlcure'B services. Now CO cents Is the usual fee, and In som places only 25 cents Is asked, and the compromise suggested by 35 cents Is the figure In other establishments. Tho women who try to keep small establishments are compelled to charge more, and their clientele Is made up entirely of regu lar customers, as tho public Is likely to find out nothing about thenv WAGE CHANCES FOR "WOMEN. "Tho decrease In this class of mnni cures Is easily enough understood when one observes the rapidity with which the largo places havo Increased In number. Some of theso employ ns many ns twenty girls. Their great advantage is that one1 Is never com pelled to wait. Thcro 1 always a vacant table with an unemployed ope rator, who will start work at once. In the private places with only one or two girls It Is necessary In nine cases out of ten to wait some tlme When there Is only one operator the vexation of this delay is assured. It wus the man icure establishments on a large scale which made delay unnecessary, nnd they succeeded from the outset. One large place uptown Is conducted by n. company, nnd there nro now half a dozen places employing from ten to twenty girls. A comfortable, well dressed looking lot they are, and they attend closely to business. They re ceive from $12 to $18 a week, and In addition a great many fees. That Is one Incident of tho new phase of the business. Formerly, when she came to tho house or when she had her own place of business, nobody thought of tipping the manicure. But now that, like the waiter and the barber, she Is one of a number of employes, the ma lignant feeing system has sent out a branch In a new direction. "New York Is said to have more manicures than any other city. Paris has a much smaller number, and so has London, In Berlin they are prac tically unknown, and Vienna has but a few. Tile English manicure is rough and inexpert. She slashes away, and then tries to hide her guilty tracks by covering the fingers over with pink salve. The services of .tho American manicure are so highly prized In Lon don that some of the shops advertise them. But they are, as a rule, poor British Imitations. The French are ex cellent, and those of other continental cities are said to be capable, without possessing the deftness and rapidity of tho Americans. Most of the women In tho business here are of native birth. KEMARKAllIiE CHILDREN. They Were Born and Arts Dclng Raised nt Sen. From tho Portland Oregonlan. That out ot a family of four children three should be born at sea, and on one ship is a remarkable occurrence, which, taken Into consideration with the fact that the only child of the fam ily born ashore did not live to be a week old, makes It more so. The children are those of Captain and Mrs. Carson, and they first saw the light of day In the cnbln of tho Manx ship Manx King. Captain Car son's family consists of two sons and one daughter Tom, Jack and Teresa, Tom, the eldest living child, was born on the Pacific coast, about three hundred miles off the coast of Chile: but the exact latitude Knd longtltude waa never determined other than by approximation, as the sky had been overcast for several days prior to his birth. On May 3, 1SS8, the arrival of the young sailor was becomingly cele brated by the olHccrs and crew ot the ship. Teresa was born In tho storm center of the most dreaded coast in the world, almost off the peak of Cape Horn, on March 24, 1891, when the Manx King was In latitude 54:42:16 south, longi tude 73:35 west. When the ship was laboring heavily In a living gale the little stranger made her appearance. When she was about ten days old the ship, then In the South Atlantic, en countered a hurricane and was thrown on Its beam ends, nnd set so low that the seas came In through the cabin skylights, completely flooding the cab Ins. Tho ship was soon got on an even keel, and reached Its destination with out any further mishap, and with both mother and child in excellent health. Jack was born Dee. 24, 1892, In the North Atlantic ocean, In latitude 4:16 north; longtltude 24:31 west. The weather when Jack first came Into the world was all that could be desired, nnd the noble ship, with Its precious living freight was bowling along un der all sail at about fourteen knots an hour. All of the children enloy remark ably goou health, and a,, jea, no mat ter how hard the gales may blow, these children of King Neptune never allow them to Interfere with their play. No matter at what angle the ship may ride, nor how much It may pitch and toss, tho children of the Manx King play In the ship's cabin. The children have become so accustomed to the mo tion of the ship .that not one of them has suffered any bad mishap; for, where they aro thrown down by the violent pitching or rolling of the ship, they eeem in some way to settle on tho deck, much after the fashion of .the storm birds on the ocean waves, and though In their short Hvc3 they have encountered more storms than falls to the lot of most mortals who live on land, not one of them has suffered even a sprained limb, Tom's knowledge of nautical matters Is naturally extensive, and It Is safe to say that, If he follows the sea with his father until he is fourteeen or fif teen years old, he will bo able to nav igate as well as most men who have been at sea twenty or thirty years, for with him It Is natural. As young as he Is, he knows the name and loca tion of every line and spar on a ship, and If It name to a pinch ho could give all the necessary orders for shortening sail or putting the ship on Its courses.
