(ANTIQUATED MONEY.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT HAVE
NEVER BEEN REDEEMED.
Many Small Notes Are Still Treasured ag
Curiosities —A Little Comes In Every
Year—How Counterfeits Are Stamped.
Facts About Scrip.
"Say, mister, are these any good?" in
quired a timid looking youngster of
Doorkeeper Brady at the sub-treasury
the other day as he hauled out a half
dozen pieces of ragged, dirty paper.
A close inspection showed that they
were pieces of fractional currency, or
"shinplasters," such as played so im
portant a part as a circulating medium
before the resumption of specie pay
ment.
The young man was directed to the
small change room, where he again
asked the same question of R. C. Haff,
who is in charge of that department.
Mr. Haff took the soiled and crumpled
bits of paper in his hands, smoothed
them out, and with the hasty touch of
an expert singled out one of the pieces
and turned around to a block of wood
behind him that looked like a butcher's
chopping block. He laid the selected
piece of paper on the block and gave it
a whack with a steel instrument; then,
turning to the young man, he said:
"These five are good, but that one is
coup {erf eitj'
1 As he spoke he handed back the bad
token, and across the face was the word
"counterfeit," cut clean and clear. The
Bteel instrument with which lie had
struck the paper was a sharp stencil die
that cut the tell tale word so clearly
that the bit of currency never would be
current again, and any fool could see
that it was worthless.
"Do you want these redeemed?" con
tinned Mi - . Haff, as he pointed to the
five grimy slips on the counter.
"Yes, sir, if you please," stammered
the youth, as he eyed with pained sur
prise the mutilated pieoe returned to
him. Mr. Haff put two bright silver dol
lars and a silver quarter on the counter,
which the boy picked up in a hurry, as
though he were finding them in the
street.
LOTS OP MONEY LOST.
"Do you get much of that old frac
tional currency now?" somebody said to
Mr. Haff as the boy went out.
"No," he replied; "we get very little
now—not more than $2,500 a year. The
amount coming in for redemption is
growing less and less every year. It used
to come in here by the bushel basketful.
But for many years now we only receive
it in driblets. We seldom get as much
at a time as that young man just brought
In."
"But it has not all been redeemed,
has it?"
"No, indeed; and, what is more, a very
large amount will never be redeemed.
There is now outstanding in old frac
tional something like $15,000,000. And
of that it is estimated that not more
than $8,000,000 to $5,000,000 will ever
come in."
"But where is the rest and why will it
not come in for redemption?"
"A great deal of it has been worn out
by the wear and tear of twenty odd
years. Any quantity of it has been
burned up in the fires that have occurred
since the time it was issued, and in
numerous other ways it has been lost or
destroyed. Then there are some people
who hold all they can get to use in send
ing small amounts by mail, finding it
handy. Then, too, the old currency is
now so scarce that people keep the occa
sional pieces that come to hand as curi
osities or pocket pieces. A great many
coin collectors have crisp, uncirculated
specimens of it in their collections. I
know one wealthy gentleman in the city
who carries in his pocketbook, wrapped
up with the greatest care, four clean,
bright specimens—a fifty, a twenty-five,
a ten and a five cent piece. He said it
was the first money he ever earned. It
was paid to him in these identical pieces
brand new from the press, and he has
kept them ever since for luck. Ido not
believe you could buy them from him to
day for SI,OOO apiece. He calls them his
reserve capital, and if he ever loses a
million or more, as he is now reported to
be worth, he will have his ninety cents
reserve to fall back on."
DETECTING COUNTERFEITS.
A good deal of the fractional currency
that is brought to the sub-treasury for
redemption turns out to be counterfeit,
and the moment it comes into that place,
no matter from whose hands it comes, it
is hurried to a block and stamped "coun
terfeit" with the stencil cutting die.
They ask no permission, but just go and
do it. The same rule is followed, too, in
the rotunda where the hills of larger de
nomination come in. Sometimes men
get very angry when their bills are hand
ed back to them mutilated in such a
manner that they cannot be used.
Not long ago the South Ferry com
pany ssnt up to tho sub-treasury a bun
dle of the fractional currency represent
ing about SIOO. It had been discovered
back of a partition in the old ferry house,
where it had been either stowed ay/ay or
misplaced, and was found when the old
building was torn down to make poom
for the new structure.
Mr. Haff shuffled through the pile and
not only pronounced it all counterfeit
but discovered that some of it had been
brought to the sub-treasury at least
twenty years ago, as the marks of the
old stamps used as long ago as that to
mark counterfeit paper money were still
plainly visible on them. Each piece was
subjected to the cutting process, and will
probably not be presented again for re
demption.
All the fractional paper currency that
is redeemed at the sub-treasury is sent
to the treasury at Washington, where it
is placed in the crematory and burned
up, and all that is left of it is a sort of
slag, a single pound of which may repre
sent a million. The rest floats off fn
smoke.—'New York Evening Snn.

A DEALER IN SMALL COIN
A I'Dlqur litininpftn That Amimnti to Mill
ions of Dollar* Every Year.
Every working day, cloud or sunshine,
during banldng hours, a faded wagon of
slight frame and leather covering, drawn
by a Rosinante, with a meek visage and
the cut of a worker, may be seen stand
ing a few minutes at a time in front of
some one or another of the many banks
that abound in the neighborhood of City
Hall. From this wagon descends a man
with an active tread and dark hair gray
ing under the rains of probably fifty
springs. In his hand he holds a canvas
bag of large size and evidently of heavy
weight, which he draws from the back
of the wagon, and with which he enters
a nearby bank. If he does not take a
bag into the bank the process is reversed
and he emerges with a large bag of
money, deposits it in the wagon and
drives off rapidly.
Few are better known to the opulent
business men of the city and less known
to the public at large than Theodore V.
Smalley. Mr. Smalley's occupation is
that of a broker, a title borne by scores
of wealthy and worthy citizens, resi
dents of the city, and not sufficient in
itself to distinguish its bearer's avoca
tion in life as in any way remarkable.
But the nature of the brokerage business
that Mr. Smalley has transacted for over
the last twenty years is unique. No one
else in this city ig ijj. Hie same sense a
prober. Om or two fieihtijffi, Rfe
in New \*ork, which city, however, Mr.
Smalley includes to a certain extent in
his field of operations.
He is a money broker, is Mr. Smalley.
To buying and selling money of the low
est denomination he devotes himself with
singleness of purpose. Promising build
ing lots are no temptation to him. He
is indifferent to rises and falls in railway
shares, and as innocent in puts and calls
as a frolicsome kid of drawing room eti
quette. Nay, it is even rumored that he
cares not for even the elysium delights
Gof the owanus canal.
Mr. Smalley buys pennies, nickels,
dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars
from churches, banks and newspaper of
fices and places of amusement, and sells
to big stores, factories, pawn offices,
banks and largo business houses. A
profit of 1 per cent, in the dollar on
pennies satisfies him, as will seventy-five
cents profit on sl,oooin silver. Not often,
he says, does he get more. It is in the
magnitude of his transactions and not on
the percentage that, he finds profit. In a
year he handles over £1,000,000. He is
punctuality personified,and many are the
large stores m which the clerks time the
hour by his daily arrival, laden with
strong bags with pennies and silver.
"Formerly," said Mr. Smalley, with a
sigh, to the writer, "the profits were
much greater. That was when trade
dollars were in vogue, but now the busi
ness is down very fine and it is not on
account of competition."
"Are you not afraid of being robbed?"
"I was robbed once, but I don't think
Twill be again. Around the banks rob
bing is almost impossible. There is no
more secure place that I know of. Officer
Kelly is a vigilant officer. He has been
a long time on his beat and knows stran
gers at sight and the character and pur
pose of every loiterer."
It was on the 7th of March, 1881, that
the sole robbery of which Mr. Smalley
was the victim occurred. He had pur
chased early in the forenoon, and about
a quarter of an hour previous to tho rob
bery, several hundred dollars' worth of
small money at The Eagle office, and had
driven to St. Anne's church, on Front
street, near Gold. While waiting a few
moments in the pastoral residence for the
Rev. Father McMeel a strange man took
advantage of his absence, jumped into
the wagon, and, driving oil at a furious
gallop, escaped pursuit. Tho robbery
created a sensation at the time on account
of the audacious manner in which it was
effected. W. H. Morris, whose sobriquet
is "Country Conklin," was arrested upon
suspicion, tried and acquitted. The
money amounted to $827, not a cent of
which Mr. Smalley recovered.—Brook
lyn Eagle.
A Wealthy Oil Man.
The richest man among the guild of
oil producers is John McKeoun, of Wasli
inton, Pa. About the time of the break
ing out of the oil excitement on Oil
creek he landed at Castle Garden with
no more of this world's goods than
thousands of other immigrants. His
first work in the oil country was as a
day laborer, with a pick and shovel,
grading seats for oil tanks near Petro
leum Centre. He became a contractor
and built derricks and tanks for oil pro
ducers. When oil was found in the great
Bradford basin in McKean county he
got hold of some property and entered
the list of producers. He had amazing
good fortune and after operating in
Bradford for several years left McKean
county a comparatively rich man.
He also made a fortnno in Butler coun
ty and then went to Washington county,
where he opened up a great oil bonanza.
The biggest wells in that wonderful ter
ritory liave been his, and at times his
income from his gushers has been as
much as $25,000 a month. Mr. McKeoun
puts on no style, and might bo mistaken
any day about his wells for one of his
workmen. His wealth runs into tho
millions. The oil producer who ranks
second to him in wealth is Thomas W.
Phillips, of New Castle, Pa.—New York

FANCY'S FERRY.
You've crossed his ferry many a time. Perhaps
you didn't know it.
He seats you in his ferryboat and then begins to
row it;
He dips liis oars so softly that you cannot even
hear them,
And lo! you land at Fancy's docks before you
know you're near them.
Oh! Fancy's lan! looks very grand with structures
high and uiry,
And bright impossibilities to mislead the un
wary;
And presently you find yourself, no matter what
fetr station,
A-l>ulir!7ng castli s in the nlr that haven't a foun
dation.
And yet it isn't difficult to rear them till they're
higher
Than anytblug you ever saw in turret or in
spire;
And Fancy seems so wondrous bind, he gratifies
each notion—
You've not a whim but is indulged through his
extreme devotion.
Old Humdrum town you left behind seems sadly
uninviting,
With school, and hooks, and lessons that you're
tired of reciting.
But 10l what's this? Your castle shakes! Its
walls are all o-crumble!
You stand amid a ruined mass, alive, but very
humble.
Then Fancy rows you home again-it doesn't take
a minute;
You wouldn't know—his boat's so swift—that you
were really In it.
But—at a word (with such a shock!) false Fancy
lands his wherry;
What does he care for foolish folk who daily cross
his ferry?
—Julie M. Lippman in Buffalo Express.
Honesty anl Conventionality.
The root meaning of conventionality
is a bringing together of the best forces
of the head and heart to devise methods
by which we may meet subject to com
mon laws; our social status is main
tained among our kind by our knowl
edge and interpretation of these laws.
He who sees a conflict between conven
tionality and honesty bears the same
relation to tho social world that the
Anarchist does to the political; ho ob
jects to obeying laws that trammel his
will.
There is no greater evidence of crudi
ty than a belief that a declaration of an
honest opinion is always in order and
that silence is deceit.
Tact is regarded as a sixth sense by
some, and if we stop to analyze it we
would say that it was a perfect balance
of honesty and conventionality, for the
tactful person is of too high an order to
be untruthful, and of too kindly a nature
to be unconventional. It is this balance
that endows him with that attitude that
lifts him above the mass of men. The
woman who thinks it necessary to tell
another that she has ' 'gone off five years
in one" is certainly honest, but she is
not conventional, even though she can
quote the written laws of every book on
etiquette, and accepts all hew acquaint
ances on the basis of the "rules for the
use of cards." We endure her when
forced to meet her, but we do not make
opportunities for that privilege, nor
value her the higher because she is per
fectly honest.
Conventionality is to society what
the criminal law is to the world at large,
and should be so applied that the person
who robs society of the possibility of
pleasant intercourse, of graceful act and
speech, of the power to meet imperson
ally, should be kept out by the combined
efforts of those who believe that kindli
ness is the foundation of social inter
course.—Christian Union.
15igg<T Than Booth.
The exception to the rule, if the script
ural saying that "a prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country" is
really a rule, has been found, it was dis
covered, through a young man in the
Booth and Modjeska company. His name
is Clarence Duval, and lie was assigned
to the minor parts in the plays those
great artists presented to the public. In
"Richelieu" he played Francois, and
when the company was at Zanesville, 0.,
that happened to be the play produced.
This town is the young man's native
place. It is the place where he was born,
brought up, and where he went out of
nights to steal watermelons with the
other boys.
Young Duval was not exactly a prophet,
but he was a member of a great company
and the town turned out in great force.
The house was full, and it soon became
apparent that Clarence was the star at
traction. Every time he came upon the
stage he was greeted with applause, and
for every little speech he made a bouquet
of flowers was thrown him. Booth and
Modjeska were terribly slighted that
night, and as the actors stood bowing
when the curtain arose, in response to an
encore after the last act, a huge stand of
flowers was handed over the footlights.
It bore a card, on which was written
three names in the following order:
"Clarence Duval, Edwin Booth, Helena
Modjeska." Clarence had all the honors
that night, even if he should never be
heard of again.—Chicago Herald.
Lightning Strokes Statistics.
Tho statistics of lightning strokes in
Germany during tho past twenty-six
years have been investigated by Herr
Kastner, who shows that the annual
number of cases has more than doubled
in that time. In 1889 there were no
fewer than 1,145 strokes. They are most
frequent in the hottest moriths of the
year, June and July, and in the hottest
hours of the day or thoso following them
(from 3t04 p. m.) It appears that the
thunder storms proceed from tho hills,
and tho parts of their course most liable
to he struck are woodless and flat places,
valleys of rivers and low meadows, near
lakes, while wooded and hilly districts
generally escape. This last deduction is
hardly in accordance with our popular
ideas on the subject.—London Globe.
Had the Moon Down Fine.
A small farmer was speaking to me
about the weather. Ho said we should
probably have a change with the new
moon. I asked whether he thought the
moon had any influence upon the weath
er. "Well," he said, "they say she has
—particular a new moon;" and after a
somewhat donbtful pause he added:
"Some says so, but other some says it's
allers the same moon, and it does seem
queer there should be so many new
'nns."—Notes and Queries.
