The effort of Uie Omnlia nnil Council n In Its

useless one , for every night the residents of
that vicinity arc busily at woik plying their
trade ami the day following they arc to be

from | GO to $100 on a wagon load of flsh , and
as a wagon load Is no uncommon catch for
a slilglo night's work , It la easy to sec that
the business Is a profitable one , even It one
gets caught at It and has to spend fifteen
days or so In the county jail , as has fre
quently been the case during the past few
months. It Is claimed that the fishermen
generally wear masks when they ore carryIng -

against the shore. With ths aid of a long

Is used to draw the seine around , the two

Judge Ambrose has decided that pollcemc
are entitled to pay as witnesses in the dlstrlc

mony , the same as other citizens.
This decision was made In. the case o
Hayes vs. Douglas county. At the last ECS
Elon of the legislature a law was passed Urn
provided that members of the police fore
ehould not bo entitled to fees in crlmlna
cass. The law was the result of an Interna
row in the police force of Omaha. Some o
TOW In the police force of Ornali
- Detective Tom Hayes decided
make a test of the law , and brought su
against Douglas county for $ G duo as fees In
, a case In which heiis a witness In the dis
. trict court. The county attorney demurred
to the petition , and pleaded the law In ques
tion. Attorney Mahoney , representing Mr.
Hayes , argued that the law in
question amended several provisions
of the statutes that had not
been changed to conform with the act In
question , and that it was class legislation of
the most pronounced kind. He argued that
It , waa aUo contrary to puHllo policy.
Judge Ambrose held that the law was
clearly class legislation , and therefore uncon
stitutional. Judgment was rendered for the
plaintiff.

IAZEN MAKES HIS REPORT

of the Bureau's ' Work.
IOUNTERFEITERS WHO WERE CAUGHT
Six Hundred Person * Arre tcil for Muklng
Spurious Money and IlnU of Them Kttlier
Convicted or Plcndrtl tlnllty
Others Awnltlng Trial.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. William P.
Hazcn , chief of the secret service of the
Treasury department , In his annual report
shows that during the year the total number
of arrests made was 037 , nearly all of which
were for violations of the statutes relating
to counterfeiting United States money. Of
those arrested about 300 were either convicted
or plsaded. guilty , 129 are now awaiting the
action of grand juries. The fines collected
amounted to $5,907. The amount of altered
or counterfeit notes captured during the year
was $21,300 ; coins , J10.75G. There were alto
captured 134 plates from whlcli counterfeit
notes had been printed , thirty-three dies , 15C
molds and a large quantity of miscellaneous
matter , consisting of tools , melting pots , etc.
Chief Hazen states that the events of last
year furnished evldenc ? of great activity
among counterfeiters , the number of arrests
reported for counterfeiting both notts and
coins largely exceeding that of any previous
year In the history of the service. In com
menting upon the large number of counterfeit
notes discovered Chief Hazen says :
"The. art of photolithography , although
seemingly In Its Infancy , has made It compar
atively easy to Imitate the most skillfully
engraved designs of our notes , so that the
danger from this cource Is not only very
grave , but Increasing , and to meet thesa
cond.ttons tli ? design and execution of gov
ernment plates should be such as would make
their reproduction most dlincult. One safe
guard still remaining , however , Is the scrct
process of making distinctive paper.
"Co n counterfeiters are more numerous
than formerly , and more than the usual num
ber of arrests and captures of material have
been reported. This branch of counterfeit
ing , however , Is more serious In Its results
to the community than that of making spuri
ous note- ! , and much less dlfllcull of detec
tion. No evidence of advancement In the
art of manufacturing counterfc't coin has
been shown. Of the numerous counterfeit ! !
ot the silver coins which have appeared In
the past year none can be classed as es
pecially dangerous.
"The figures show n decided Increase In
the receipt of altered noteu during the llrcal
year. The arrests of perbons charged with
altering and passing notes are largely In ex
cess of any previous year , and It Is i.wlng
to promptness of office In this service In
Investigating all , cases that they are promptly
suppressed.
"Among the most Important arrests of
this class of operators uere M. T. Paulson at
Denver on September 16 , 1893 , and S. J.
Freeland and his wife , Uelle , at Chicago on
November IB. 1893. These people were
artists In this line of work , and the com
munity Is to bo congratulated that they are
now serving terms In prison.
"On February 1 , 1894 , I found the banking
Interests deeply concerned over the great
number of light weight gold coins In circula
tion. These coins had been Impaired by a
new and Ingenlus method , namely : The
milled or corrugated rim of the coin had
been removed , decreasing Its value about G
per cent ; new milling was then put on and
the coin to all appearances made perfect.
I Immediately put agents to work , with the
result that all ot the guilty persons are now
serving terms In state prisons. One man
was arrested In Sioux City , la , , on March 19 ,
1S94 , and after trial was tentenced to Im
prisonment for eighteen months ; another and
his wife were subsequently arrested In Dalit-
more and sentenced to lour years and six
months respectively. In both Instances a
lathe and complete set of tools were cap
tured. Since these arrests coins lightened In
the manner above described have ceased to
appear.
"In the prosecution of their cases I was
greatly surprised to learn that there Is no
law to punlth uttering or passing such light
ened or debased coins , knowing them to be
tuch. I therefore earnestly recommend the
1 it
passage of an act making { It a felony to
mutilate United States coliih or to utter ,
pass or attempt to pass Bucht'colns. ' "

Modern IVanhlp ;
WASHINGTON , Nor ! 22rhe , report of
Paymaster General Edwin Stewart of the
navy for the fiscal year ending June 30 last
Is a document of , unusual Interest. It pre
sents u more complete exhibit of the finan
cial affairs of the department than has ever
been made before. The total amount ex
pended on account of the naval establish
ment for the fiscal year ended Juno 30 , 1891 ,
wa $31.370,144.91 , the largest Item b ° lng
$8,251,072 for payments on new ships In pro
cess of construction other than labor.
One of the most Interesting tables In the
report is that showing the cost of maintain
ing In commission the various shlpg. The.
charges against this account Include the pay
of officers , crew and marines , piloting , coal
and all expenditures of men and material
excepting those for repairs.
During the period covered by the report of
the ( paymaster general the cost ) of the
United States ship Chicago ( second rate ) ,
was $310,61.1.60 ; the United States ship Yorktown -
town ( third rate ) , $169.907.58 , and the United
States ship Petrel ( fourth rate ) , $103,502.78.
These figures afford an approximate Idea of
the cost of maintaining vessels of the differ
ent classes. The'cost of maintenance of the
New York navy yard was $607,786.52 ; of the
Pensacola navy yard , $540,341.90. These
amounts Include the cost of officers nnd
clerks and ot labor and material applied to
the erection , repair , care and preservation
of the wharfn , buildings and docks. In addi
tion to the tables of figures the report de
scribes the organization ot the bureau und
the various books nnd records maintained.
During the past year the bureau had pre
pared carefully drawn specifications covering
a largi' class of stores In general use , In
order that contractors may have precise and
accurate Information as to the material re
quired. It IR believed that such Information
will secure prompt and satisfactory delivery
ot material under contract , and that the
delays complained of on this account would
be obviated.
General Stewart refers to the benefits an
ticipated from the establishment of the naval
supply fund. The amount appropriated for
that account Is so small that the bureau has
moved cautiously In the matter ot purchas
ing under It , as It Is desired not to have
any part of It tied up In stores that are not
In constant demand. I
Dy enabling the department to keep on
hand a stock of such articles as are con
stantly required and by purchasing such
material In large quantities , the government
saves both time and money. Issues from
this account are reimbursed from the proper
appropriations ,

acter study. As Paula Tanqueray she has
made a reputation for herself as on actress
that places her high among the greatest
women of the Mage. Had the opportunity
presented Itself , when the was younger In her
profession , In the form of a similarly sus
ceptible character , she must have thus
achieved greatness , as well as now , for the
spirit of genius was born In her to have con
ceived co wonderful a characterization. For
their last appearance In this city on Tuesday
evening Mr. and Mrs , Kendal will be seen
In Tom Taylor's great play , "Still Waters
Hun Deep. " The sale1 will open tomorrow
