For ten years', In sunshine and storm, tn

and wrinkled form of Catlicrlnu Coatcllo, nn
old bogKur woman, has been a (aiulllur 11k
tire to the frequenters of the Merchants' ex
chansc, at Third and Pino streets, reports
tho St. bouli Globo-Dumocrat. There was
a niche on the stono steps, near ono of tho
principal entrances, devoted to tho nged
Irish mendicant, and many a man whoao
heurt wad sordid with the struggle for gain
lias "propitiated" fato by a gift to this with
ered ami wrinkled old woman, whose scant
gray locks and attenuated form might have
eorved an artist for tho eldest of the Eumuu
Ides. l''or three weeks Catherine Coatcllo has
boon ihIh.umI from her accustomed haunts
about tho .Merchants' exchange. The kind
hearted baker over tho way, who had given
Oier a loaf of bread every day for years, won
dered what had becotno of her, and sought
out nnothcr object on which to bctow his
humbln but needed alms. Thu jnen on
chango niljRPd her, and with utilitarian
charity Increased their gifts to other mendi
cants, and tho "old beggar woman" suffered
tho fate reserved to other less unfortunate

A block caul ward, and almost In sound
of the unheeding river, Catherine- Costello,
on a beggar's cot, in tho attic of a store
house, wa gaplng nwny her life. Just
at daybreak of tho lat Sabbath morning tho
soul of thlH woman, who for half a century
has been a battered nnd discarded plaything
Ju tho hands of fortune, winged lln flight,
and tho aged beggar, summoned from tho
dirt and glim of poverty, stood nt tho great
white thionu of God.
Vosterday, In a tiny coffln, scarce larger
than a child's, all that was mortal of Cath
erine Coslello reposed In pence nnd quiet,
nnd tho reft of tho beggar wiih sereno as
that of a king. To gaze nt the sightless
oyos, tho bony hands, folded over tho hollow
lireast, tho sunken checks nnd withered form,
ono could almost lmaglno It tho remains of
some' ancient priestess, filched from somo
iioaret crypt In tho temple of IhIs. There
was only ono other occupant of tho mis
erable nttlc room, tho dead, woman's daugh
ter, whn sat alono last night with tho rain
on the rocf outsldo, tho nwful hush of death
"within, and her only companion a mother's
corpse.
To the busy, unobservnnt throng there
was llttlo food' for story In tho life and
death of this woman, but beneath tho gauzo
of outward seeming lies a romance
and half a vroru of tragedies. Thrcu-quar-tors

Counterfeit Coin.
"One often hears It said that the blind learn
to seo with their finer tips," remarked an old
mint employe to tho Now Orleans Times
Democrat man, "and the simile Is not so
far-fetched as might bo supposed. Tho ex
tent to which the sense of touch may bo
trained and developed Is amazing.
"Hero In the mint wo have women em
ployes who can detect a counterfeit coin tho
moment they lay hands on It, yet If you
asked thom how they do It they would be
utterly unable to glvo an Intelligent explan
ation. Tho only thing they can say Is that
'It feels wrong. Such experts never make
a mistake and will Bpot a spurious piece
when tho most delicately adjusted mechani
cal coin detocter jiasses It as O. K. They
will know a coin Is genuine oven after tho
Inscription has been prnctlcally worn off by
the hard usage, but a counterfeit, old or new.
Is constantly thrown out.
"Of course, they usq their eyes as well as
their-hands in tho work, but their main re
liance Is placed In their nngcr tips, and to
seo them run over a pllo of money, occa
sionally pushing aside a bad piece, Is well
worth a trip to tho mint.
"In my younger days I possessed tho fac

to cold will affect tho hands in that respect
for several days at n tlmo.
"There used to bo a young man In the
Carson City mint who was celebrated for
hlr. skill as a handler of money and for tho
accuracy with which ho could distinguish
counterfeits. Ho told me on one occasion
that ho felt his touch greatly blunted by
playing tenpins, a gamo of which ho was
very fond. For somo tlmo ho was at a loss
to locnto tho cause, but It finally occurred to
him and ho abandoned the bowling nlley.
After that ho was all right."

"Is It true that Governor 1'oyntcr and

Congressman Hoblnson was asked.
"I think It Improbable," replied Congress
man Robinson, "that both of these stato
otllcluls are seeking tho congressional nom

which would bo an endorsement of his first

HE FIGURED ON LIFE'S CH CKERBOARD
II. S. HNley, Who Win tliirn In the
ttiirly Part ot the Century, Coca
Down In l)rntti Ilia
Kvcntful Career.
Tho death of II. S. Rlsley. which occurred
a fow days ago, removes from Omaha ono of
tno most plcturesquo characters that has
ever helped In tho making of local history.
Tho Infirmities Incident to advanced aco
caused death. Mr. Hlsley was bom In 1S14
in Pennsylvania nnd his veins carried tho
true Quaker blood. Ho remained a firm be
liever In tho cardinal principles taught by
tho Quakers and tho tenets of that faith
were carried out by him through his long
and eventful life.
A peculiar fatality In his youth caused tho
members of his family to meet untimely
death. Largu flpanclal Interests wero In
volved ana a designing pcrsou administered
poison. Mr. Rlsley was subjected to tho
samo danger, but by a miraculous turn of
fato ho escaped death and was tho only sur
vivor of a large family.
An estato that had been accumulated by
long years of frugality and Industry was
swept away llko sand In a gale and when
out a lad Mr. Rlsley was thrown upon his
own resources. Leaving Philadelphia ho
went to New Orleans and at once nttalned
some prominence. He saw tho poetry of llfo
on the Mississippi river and ho painted pic
tures that attracted attention tho world
over. Ho owned a plantation near Ilayou
Sara and lived tho life of u southern planter
for several years. Ills Idea of tho Mississippi
river scenes was elaborate. Ho made a pan
oramic plcturo that was 15 feet high and a
quarter of a culle long. Ho took this work to
Europe und exhibited it to the crowned
heads. Ho traveled In many foreign coun
tries. While making tho exhibition he en
circled tho globe, Japan nnd China being tho
only countries ho did not visit.
Fiilla Victim to the Coianeka,
Whllo In Russia Mr. Rlsley fell a victim
to unfriendly Cossaeks who, falling to ap
preclato his work of art, confiscated his bag
gage. Ho was traveling by sledge and a
band of wolves devoured tho horses that car
ried him. This left him prey to tho Cos
sacks. His plcturo ot tho Mississippi rlvor
was destroyed and ho was left without re
sources. Ho gained a foothold In the coun
try, however, and for a whllo was a courier
In the employ of tho czar. During his Rus
sian experience Mr. Rlsley gained Informa
tion to tho effect that largo property rights
In Minnesota awaited his attention. It was
necessary to make a certain legal showing,
which, owing to tho death of his parents, ho
was unablo to do. A part of tho property
Involved was whero the city of Minneapolis
now stands. Recovering from tho ill effects
of his Russian experience Mr. Rlsley repro
duced his river painting and exhibited It with
greater luck than ever before. While In Eu
ropo ho painted a picture of tho rlvor Thames
and it met with success. From Europe ho
went to Australia. At ono time during his
travels ho becamo interested in balloons and
inado several ascensions.
Among tho epochs In this eventful llfo
woro passing through the yellow fever plaguo
In tho south, a shipwreck In the Pacific
ocean and an explosion ot a steam engine.
Ho survived all nnd camo out with flying
colors. His health remained good up to a
few days prior to his death. His dcmlso was
peaceful simply tho folding of hands at tho
close ot a long and thrilling existence. Mr.
Rlsley was not given to talk ot his achieve
ments or adventures. Ho was so modest
that only his more Intimate friends could
draw from him tho Interesting story of his
life.
When tho municipal campaign was at Its
height Mr. Rlsley was on his deathbed. Ho
was a friend of Mayor Moorea and desplto
tho fact "that his llfo was ebbing away ho
rallied on election day and against the or
ders of physician and family went tot tho
polls and cast a voto whero, as ho snld, "It
would do tho most good," Having exercised
his tranchlso as a voter the old warrior re
turned to his home, lay down lu peace and
gave up life's struggle.
Few chapters of fiction contain more
features than does tho Ute story ot this vet
eran. It Is a pago of history such as can bo
written only ot mon of tho old school.
