RICHARD WILLUI VAUGHAN
The Flrnt Iufllah liuuU Forger and
the Story of Ilia Fall
The suiy of the flrst bank forger
Richard William Vaughau Is little
known Vaughan was the brother of a
Stafford lawyer and became clerk to a
solicitor in London lie wished to
marry his masters daughter and prom-
ised to produce the sum of 1000
which he said his mother would pre-
Bent to him half of It to be settled on
his wife On these terms the father
consented to the marriage and Vaughau
obtained a mouths leave of absence
j He occupied this period in obtaining
engraved impressions in imitation of
twenty pound Bank of England notes
which was not such a ditiicuit matter
then such things as forged notes be
ing unknown With fifty of these
sham notes he presented himself at the
appointed time and his fiancee accept
ed her share in perfect good faith and
the marriage preparations were pro
ceeded with
Unfortunately he wanted ready mon
ey and put two of his own forged
notes into circulation They were chal
lenged when he became alarmed and
tried to get back the notes he had
given to the young lady but she re
fused to yield them up suspecting
nothing of their true nature and when
Vaughan was arrested next day she
would hardly believe even then that
she had been deceived
The forger was tried at the Old Bai
ley on the 7th of April 175S spending
what was to have been his wedding
day in the condemned cell Four days
later he was hanged at Tyburn Lon

Old Rules For Night Policemen
Old Boston Is vividly brought to
mind by the following excerpt from
the selectmens minutes dated Nov 1
1709 containing instructions to watch
men
In going the rounds care must be
taken that the watchmen are not noisy
but behave themselves with strict de
corum that they frequently give the
time of the night and what the weath
er is with a distinct but moderate
voice excepting at times when it is
necessary to pass in silence in order to
detect and secure persons that are out
on unlawful actions
You and your division must en
deavor to suppress all routs riots and
other disorders that may be committed
in the night and secure such persons
as may be guilty that proper steps
may be taken next morning for a
prosecution as the law directs We ab
solutely forbid your taking private
satisfaction or any bribe that may be
offered you to let such go or to conceal
their offense from the selectmen
Character In Xiekimmes
When Austria was only a dukedom
there were three rulers who won for
themselves the respective titles Cath
olic Glorious and Warlike The
first was perhaps a religious man like
Ferdinand the Catholic of Spain Tho
second may have been like Lorenzo the
Magnificent and the third a great war
rior And so from these titles or nick
names we have likewise some idea of
the conditions of the people while
these dukes ruled
France has had a most wonderful as
sortment of kings One was the Little
and another the Bold One was the
Stammerer another Simple while a
third and fourth were Indolent and
Fair These names are descriptive of
the kings themselves but it is hardly
to be supposed that a king who was In
dolent or simple did much to further
the interests of his subjects But when
we find Robert II called the Sage we
realize that he ruled wisely and that
the people were better off for it
An Artists Lament
Otto Lasius In his diary describes a
walk he took one day with Bocklin the
famous artist near Zurich Bocklin
was in raptures over the colors of the
autumn leaves the blue sky the
clouds Ah those are colors he ex
claimed If we could have those on
our palettes Uow weak are our means
in comparison with those of nature
White is our best light and only by
means of clever contrasts can we se
cure effects approximating the natural
ones
The Art of Working In Gold
The Romans copied the Greek and
Etruscan goldsmiths work though
they also often used the ornaments
themselves taken from the ancient
tombs Much of the art of the ancients
in working gold was lost until early in
the nineteenth century when Signor
Castellanl found some of the Etruscan
methods still being employed by work
men in a village in a remote corner of
the Apennines London Times

Monsters In Use on the Q Divisions of
the Road
Burlington Hawkoyo When tho Chi
cago Burlington and Quincy round
house in this city was built thirteen
years ago tho stalls were considered
large enough to hold tho largest steam
locomotives As the years passed greator
engines were built and now it has been
found necessary to enlarge tho big build
ing to accommodate tho monsters that
are being purchased to draw tho fast
trains across tho country When tho
roundhouse was built twenty five and
thirty miles an hour was good timo
Now sixty and seventy miles is good time
and tho mail trains reel off eighty and
ninety miles an hour Years ago an en
gine thirty or thirty five feet long was
large The new engines aro sixty six
feet long To mako room tho round
house is being changed and an extension
of thirteen feet is being built on tho
north side Tho old stalls are large
enough to accommodate an ongino over
fifty feet long but not over sixty feet
The new engines are five passenger loco
motives known as PI and P 2 compound
engines and are sixty six feet in length
including tender tho driver wheels are
eighty four inches in diameter one revo
lution carrying them about twenty one
and a half feet Without a load they are
capable of 120 miles an hour The P 1
engines are numbers 1587 1589 and 1090
The last is the one wrecked at Gnlvn a
week ago Tho P 2 engine is number
1595 and has a heavier truck than the
P 1 class Tho tenders of these engines
have a capacity of nine tons of coal and
the tank will hold six thousand gallons
of water Besides these passenger en
gines twelve new freight engines will
also be stalled at the Burlington round
house These engines are built to draw
heavy trains but not at so great a speed
They are over sixty feet long but are
not so high as the passenger locomotives

Among tho interesting incidents of
our sojourn in Omaha was a visit to
Creighton College whoro throo of our
McCook boys ar located Wo found
there a very fine new library for the iihh
of the students Wo were also invited
to inspect tho library and art gallery at
the homo of Mr and Mrs Haller This
valuable collection of books pictures
stntuary bronzes china Persian rugs
embroidery and all varieties of art work
is owned by Mr Linnegar well known to
many of our people as an enthusiastic
Mason and collector of curios From
reports of libraries all over tho stato we
gather that McCook has a great deal to
bo proud of as she is not only ahead of
towns of her own size but also of many
much larger and richer
On October IGand 17 the State Library
Association met in Omaha to which
Miss Berry and Mrs Cordcal went au
delegates Whilo strongly impressed
with the immense difference between a
library of G0000 volumes and ono of 1000
we still found much to encourage us
Although the representatives of the
youngest library in the state wo succeed
ed in making our voices heard to jucji
an extent that congratulations from all
sides were showered upon McCook and
its infant prodigy The Omaha libra
rians vied with each other in showing
us over the building and explaining its
various workings The catalogue and
reference rooms bindery and childrens
rooms were especially interesting Thh
librarian of the childrens room has been
seven years learning tho business and
gave us valuable aid as to the selection
of juvenile books
