Weldon Will oall.d at tula olnce last week to deny the story seut out from Al lentowu, in which it was auted that he had been held p by green goods-men aud relieved of f SDu last spring. He ys that he visited AHentown with a friend who, like himself, was anx'om to engage in the detective business; taat-they met a green-goda steerer by appointment and were conducted to a rendezvous some distance from the city, where they were ushered into a room, in which there was a desk and four or five office chairs. The steerer bhowe.l them a box filled with crisp counterfeit notes and offered them IL.0J0 in exchange for f 100. Will's friend concluded a bargain for 1,000 of tbe green goo fs, which the shsrper had placed in a small box and placed it on top of the writing desk. The bunco man then ask ed him to elgn a receipt and raised the 1:1 of the d e-.lt an 1 took oat a sheet of paper. A confederate in the adjoining room substituted a box containing a lot of blink paper with a good I note on U.p for the one entaiu!t,g the 5,000 through a secret bole in the wall while tbe desk lil was up. Tbo young men say that they expected to get the Counterfeit and turn it over to the police, but when they could show nothing but blank paper, they were directed by the AHentown au thorities to return home and re-open cor respondence with tbe bunco men. In pursuance of these arrangements, Wel don and Philip Will, and Charles Weigle visited ,Allenlown as stated last week, where they claim to have worked in har mony with the police of that city. The "steerer" Ryan, who was captured as a result of their efforts, is reported to have forfeited his bail aud returned to New Yoi k. .Exact Data 0a Staapr. Hereafter all adhesive documentary aud prorrietary internal revenue stamps must, when used, be cancelled by writ ing or stamping on them tbe initials of the user and the year, month and day of the month in which it is used. This is the lntest ruiii:g of X. B. S30U, United States Commissioner of Internal Reve nue, of Washington, D. C, a copy of which has been received by Collector Hershey, of Harrisburg. This is an amendment of a former ruling which stated that all adhe.-ive stamps must he cancelled by having the initials of the person using the stamp aad the year in which it was used either written or stamped upon it- The new ruling went into effect January 1, 1W The reason for the change is that many stamps were taken from discounted notes, or from wrappers, bottles, etc, and used over and over, thus evading the law. Un der the new ruling of Mr. Scott it will be impossible to use a stamp more than once, as the cancelled stamp bas the ex act da'e of its use on it, and to nse it again any day thereafter would be a mis demeanor.

Vaccination Facta. From the London Linoet, In a recent lecture delivered at Rome, Dr. Bizz izzero made a deep impression by tbe summing up of the argument for vaccination. He said : Geruiauy stands alone in fulfilling in great measure the demands of hygiene. having, iu consequence of tbe calamitous smallpox epidemic of 1S70 71, enacted the law of 1-Ct, which "makes vaccinatioo obligatory iu tbe first year of life, and re- vaccination also obligatory at the tenth year. nat was iue result 7 ith a population of 5o0,0ut),0i, having in 11 lost H I.OoO lives by smallpox, she found by hor law ol 174 the mortality diminish ed so rapidly that to-day the disease nniu jers only 113 victims a year. These cases,-moreover, oxur almost exclusive ly in towns on her frontier. If it were true, continued Prof. Bizzoz- zero, that a good vaccination does not protect from smallpox we ought (o find in smallpox epidemics that the disease dif fuses itself in the well vaccinated no less than iu the uon vaccinated countries But it is not so. Ii 170 71, during the Pranco-Geriuau war, tbe two peoples in terpenetrated each other, the German having its civil population vaccinated optionally, but its army completely re- vaccinated, while the French (popula tion and army alike) were vaccinated perfunctorily. B.h were attacked by smallpox, but the French army number ed 23,000 deaths by it, while tbe German army bad only 27S ; and in the same tent. breathing the same air, the French wounded were heavily visited by tbe dis ease, while tbe German wounded, havir g been revaccinated, bad not a single case.

The suit was one of the tnoet important that has come before tbe Fayette courts within recent years, the amount involv ed, it is aaiJ, being about for).). The hearings were held last winter, and con tinued for weeks. Iu bis bill Wolfe re cited atleug b the exleusive dealings be ' sud Augustine bad, alleging that the lat- ter secured his entire confidence, which he abused by involving him in numerous bad land deals, by which plaintiff st-xod to lose thousands of dollars unless the courts came to his relief.

The inesie shows the State revenues for tie !y ear ended Nove ubcr Co, 1-foS, to have been (13.325,123 and the expenditures $13, n,tt. Tbe net debt of lb State i ft.. OSi.'j&i, no part of which can be paid until 1912 Tbe Governor says : "The operation or lh a-1 ef the last Legislature providiug for the r rr.tn", of interest by banks in which tbe State funds are deposited, shows that while this interest law is an improvemen. and indicates tbe enormous sums which the State might have received during past years, yet, in my judgmeut, it does not correct the evil which it was intended to errecL While it may le true that the State has lost no moneys deposited in the various banks throughout the Common wealth, it can ma be questioned that in the past the public fundi have been used for political pqrp-ises by depositing them in favorite banks where such deposits were expected to yield returns in the shape of political influence, Thissystetn can not be d if jude .. It should not be in the power of any man to say what banks shall handle the millions of dollars that are anuually paid into tbe State treasury. The evil will never be corrected until the Mate Keeps its own money 111 its own vaults, as do many of the Stales, and as is done by tbe I nited States, Legislation of this character would be to the interest of ail tbe people, and a step toward better government," In toucbiDg upon the present Austra lian ballot law, tbe Governor says it is in conipreheusiveand complicating to voters and opens the dxr to confusion and fraud, and he recommends a recasting of tbe ballot laws so as to avoid the Inequal ities and imperfectious in the preseut statute.. The Governor urges the Legislature to adopt a memorial to Congress to author ize the selection of Senators by popular vote. The Governor criticises the new State Capitol building, erected to take the place of th building destroyed by fire in Feb ruary, 1n7. The new building, ue says, in its preseni condition "is hardly fit for human habitation, much less tbe officia abode of the representatives of this great Commonwealth. It is made of coaimou brick, imbedded in cheap mortar; looks like a hastily erected factory building. and is repulsive to the eye. Although the act of Assembly r quires that the building shall be made as nearly fire proof as possible, the roof and most of the interior fittings are as combustible as possible. ."Furthermore, I am advised by a com petent and trustworthy builder, who bas personally examined this building, that a fair estimate of the cost of the present structure would not exceed $ii,l0as it now is, and that it will cost to complete the building, according to the plns a.l- opt-sl, not less than Si5ii0.ti." Tho Leg islature, on April H, ISi'7, appropriated (,30,000 for the erection of the Capitol. Harriibarg Letter. Sp ecial correspondence of tile Herald. 11 arrisiii ko. Pa., Jau. (Cmo. Tuesday was the opening day of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and notwith standing all the eulogiums pas-ed upon General Koontz, of Somerset, by the Democratic and mugwump press, John R. Farr, a straight Republican, of Lacka wanna county, was elected speaker with practically no opposition. John Wana maker, discovering that fusion could r.ot win, removed Koontz from tha running and accepted the gold brick tendered bim by David Martin, the Philadelphia Loss, wtjo i-J turn was gold bricked when Farr c uole.i the nomination of (u:iy Iu th" Senatorial caucus. All precedents w ere broken at the even ing session nben a resolution, fathered by Senator Mage e, was adopted by isith branches of the legislature, fixing the date for final adjournment, April 3th. After a short session on We Inrs.lHy both branches adjourned to meet on Thursday, l';h inst. There will be little if anything done until tbe 17th, hen the two houses meet in j iut convention for the purpose of balloting for a United States Senator. It is probable that tho Hoi;se com 01 it- tees will not be announced until after the inauguration of Governor Stone, w hich takes place on the 17th. Six regimouts of the national guard wi.l attend the inauguration of Governor Stone, and imitations have been issued to President McKiuley and the niemlicrs of his cabinet, members of tbe Senate and Congress, the judges of the State and other d gnilariea. A public reception to meet the Governor and Mrs. Stone will bs held st the executive mansion ou the evening alter tbe inauguration. The convening of tbe legislature and the Senatorial caucus to nominate a suc cess r to M. S. O-iay attracted a largo crowd if politicians from every county in tbe State to Harrisbuig. Ths fusiou isis came w ith baskets, prepared to take home everything that would drop in the shapa of patronage, anvl were anxious to make a liberal divide w ith tbe DeiUocrats in case they should win. General Koontz was besieged with applicants for minor ojices by tbose weak enough to believe that he would lie chosen to preside over the House, but when the hungry bench men learned that tbe old fusion ist's chances bad gone glimmering at the be hest of Wanny they were wi'Jiug to en ter into all. kinds of dickers fur place. The Quay opposition had no organiza tion unt 1 Wanaruaker app?ired 011 Mon day afieruoon and took charge of atftirs. The Quaker bargain -counter merchant soon eorraled all of bis f illotfers in a room at the Common wealth hotel, whre nowes were counttHl by Senators Flinn and Martin, the city lo-ses of Pittsburg and Philadelphia, and they were so well satisfied that thy resolved to g np against Quay in adesperate struggle. First it was decided for the oh ious re asoo that the ciiy bosses have too much at stake, that Koontz inut be retired from the Speakership race, and that amiable gen llemtn, who bad I wen . spieiting with "Jim" Guffey and other Democratic Ikws es, was forced to enter the legislative cau cus and vote for a Republican for Speaker. Tbe exterior of the new capitol closely resembles a brewery or factory in its pres ent unfinished condition, but the interior baa been made comfortable for the mem ber of the two Heuses. Governor Hast ings took a fling at the building commis sion in bis message, but his vaporing created do commeut other than that Dan iel was sour because bo had been unable to dominate the commission. Senator M -Carrel., who is a member of the com mission, declared that a schoolboy in knickerbockers would be ashamed to fa ther the Governor's remarks concerning the new capitol.

As an illustration of the infantile idea of a g.xid story, an exchange prints the following brief but sfartling romance evolved by a little school girl in answer V her teacher's demand f r a corn post tion : "Once there was a pxr young man w ho was in love w ith a rich girl, w hose moth r had a large e-andy store. The pxr young man wanted to marry the candy la.ly's daughter, but he was t poor to buy furniture. One day a bad man offtired him i'io to become a drunk ard.
