HIS WIFE A "PLUNGER.
THE FARM AND HOME.
St. Louis, Mo., March 2(1. A scrie
of forgeries of the memt remarkable
kind has been unearthed In this city
and detectives are now at work upon
it At least eight banks have suffered
and probably more. The aggregate
of the forg-ed paper will reach g.'O.OOO,
all of which sum ha gone into the
pockets of a ganjy of professionals,
who have succeeded by the use
of a system never before equalled,
the principal feature of which wns the
securing of genuine cheek blanks and
full knowledge of the serial numbers,
by which knowledge they were able
not ouly to minimize the danger in
uttering, but also delay detection.
The number of persons in the frang
of forgers Is supposed to be not ex
ceeding three, but their knowledge of
banking and business methods aod
the versatility of their autograph
artist are admittedly ample. Their
preparations were elaborate and
consumed some time, but tvlien
ready their haul was made with
astonishing celerity. As only a few of
their checks have been passed upon
by the alleged drawers, it is impossi
ble to say how much the forgers took,
but it cannot bo less than 120,000.
The forgers first took account of the
fact that the checks drawn by busi
ness houses are written usually upon
the firm's own lithographed head
ing, protected by several numbers
on check and stub. The forgers
therefore, not only counterfeited the
blank check forms of their victims,
but numbered their checks close to
the numbers of the checks then run
ning with each victimized firm. To
do this latter, opportunity to see the
genuine check books was nccom
plihhed in yari"i way.
In one case, that of tho Charles W,
Melehcr Machine company, whoso sig
nature was forced to a cheek for
8500, a young man, Mating that ho
represented tho printing house which
. lithographed the firm's checks, asked
permission to see their check book, as
he was sent out to trace up books al
leged to have been badly lithographed.
The ruse succeeded, aud was proba
bly used in other cases. In this in
otance the Continental bunk lost $500.
As there were citrht or more other
banks victimized and no one yet
knows how many Arms, there is no
way to tell the total loss.

Millionaire Coxa of New lork I natilo to
Keep HI !Mle truul (iatnbllna. j
New York, March 2J. Franklin j
Cose, a well known figure on uppci
Broadway, who comes of a rich and
prominent family and who has ac
quaintances all over the country,
figured in the Jefferson market police i
court yesterday on a warrant svvoro j
out by his wife, charging' h'm with
failing to support her.
Coxe came originally from Ituther
ford, N. C, but his mother lives at At
lanta, Gsl, and is said to be worth
$2,000,000 and he is her only heir. He
has always had a large income. At
one time he was known as the "Bay
bide Millionaire," owning a mag
nificent country villa at Bayside,
h. I , where lie kept blooded
horses, fine dogs and a yacht, lie
and his first wife, a Southern woman,
were divorced and he was married to
his present wife, Edith Kcofleld, whom
lie alleges ho tirst met at Roster &
Dial's in Jloboken in Jdsi. They lived
together in fashionable apart
ment houses and "cut a wide
swath." The wife developed an un
controllable passion for gambling
on races and her money and jewels
all went on horses. She became, ac
quainted with (leorgc Forbes, the own
er of Arab and other horses, and was
only happy when at the races. He
tried to Induce her not to invest so
heavily, but shu said he was a "hoo
doo" and that she did not want him
to go with her. After that she went
alone or with her sister, and Coxe
saw her Kitting in the grand stand
several times wjth Forbes and other
sporting moii. Hhe was almost a daily
visitor at (luttenburg, and at times
was accredited lucky. Among the
members of a large circle of sporting
people hhe was known as tho "Little
l'lnngcr."
May 28, ISM, while tho couple were
living at the Oedney house, Mrs. Coxe
left and stayed away several days and
they did not live together after that
Lant Wednesday Mrs. Coxe caused a
warrant to be issuod for her husband
and he was ordered to pay her &8 a
week. Jfc will probably sue for di
vorce. IJfcrrillK for oey' Army.
8r. Jomki'H, Mo,, March 20. Twenty
two tramps slept at tho police station,
a greater number than have htayed
there any night during the winter.
They left for tho Fast, and said they
expected to be witn Coxey'sarmy when
it halted at the capitol steps in Wash
ington. Several professional tramps
were among the number, but most of
them seemed to be mechanics. They
said they would very likely go Ea&t at
once, and not wait for tho Western di
vision of the army.

NEWS IN BRIEF.
It
Cannot Assemble In Washington With
out l'ermtamlon From Congress.
Washington, March 2ft. There is
one circumstance which may seriously
interfere with the general features of
Coxey's marching program at Wash
ington. It has been stated , that the
object of his bringing his army here
is to assemble it on the steps of the
capitol on the 1st of May for
the purpose of impressing its
views upon congress. To do this
it will bo necessary to first secure
authority from congress, as there are
specific acts upon tho statute books
forbidding the assembling of crowds
in the capitol or in tho capitol grounds
for tho holding of any sort of public
meeting, except the sessions of con
gress and the assemblages which are
incident to the inauguration of a pres
ident. These laws go to tho extent of
forbidding organized parades through
the capitol grounds.

It is a common complaint of farm
ers that potatoes do not show the
vitality and vigor they used lo da
Varieties that endured thirty or
forty years, as the old Mercer or
Neshannock, have long sinceentirely
disappeared, though new varieties
greatly resembling them have been
reproduced from seed. Lvcn so re
cent a potato as the burly lloso is
not what it onco was. Jhoso that
produce best now are not descendants
by cuttings from the original stock,
but have been reproduced from seed,
says tho Market News.
J his tendency to rapidly degener
ate datos from about tho time the
potato bug made its appearance. Jt
was most pronounced m It affected
ato potatoes. Ihe year before the
potato beetle became very numerous
we grew Peachblow and Peerless po
tatoes in the same field- It was a
good crop of each, upward of 200
bushels per aero of Peachblow and
about 350 of Peerless, the latter va
riety being then new and growing
more vigorously than it ever has
since. Late in tho season somo po
tato bugs erot on one corner of tho
Peachblow patch. It was after tha
vinos of other varieties had died
down, and the bugs did somo Iniury
before they were discovered. The
yield of the potatoes did not soem
atiected, as tho bugs cumo so late in
tho season. Not much barra was
thought to bo dono, but the next
season a fow of the Peerless potatoes
and more of tho Peachblow variety,
iiuno up weak, and made only a
spindling growth. Jn two or throe
years thereafter, the Peachblow va
riety became wholly unreliablu and
was scarcely grown at all.
There can bo littlo quostlon that
any injury to potato foliage during
growth results in some deterioration
of tho vigor and vitality of its seed.
It Is inevitable whoro bugs exist
that they should do some damage- to
the leaf. If poisoned when very
small thoy aro obliged to eat some
of the foliage to get at the poison.
Sometimes, too, tho poison itself Is
used so freely that it burns the leaf.
This, of courso, is just as bad as to
have foliage eaten by the larvie.
Potatoes grown thus do not ripen as
thoy should. When dug their skins
slip as those of new potatoes do.
The potatoes have to lie in pits in
the field thinly covered to dry out,
In this unripe condition they are,
of course, more exposed to rot We
may say, indeed, that if potatoes can
bo ripened early and properly -in the
field, loss from rot would be unknown.
As the potatoes have mostly got
their growth, the common idea Is
that it does not make much differ
ence now severely tneir top are
eaten down. Bo long, however, as
frosts leave the leaves alivo, they
are building up and developing the
tubers. In the old Peachblow a good
deal of growth was made after the
leaves were frosted, from the sap in
thoir stalks. The late crop of bugs
prevents this. It Is, therefore, as
imrJortaiu for future crops that this
late crop of bugs be destroyed as it
is for the present that tho early bugs
bo poisoned. Not only do the late
bugs threaten greater dangers to tho
crop next spring, but thoy docreas-e
tho ability of tho potato to resist
them.
More care needs to be taken in so-
locting seed potatoes. It will usual
ly bo found that the potato beetle
loaves uninjured the most vigorous
sappy vines. Instinct teaches it to
lav its etrars cluoflv on those vines of
slender growth. Yet at digging time
these poor hills may contain one or
more good-looking, marketable tu
bors that in a bin would bo naturally
selected for sood. The only way to
guard against poor or missed hills
next year Is to select seed while tho
crop is growing, keeping off all bugs
and taking tho host and smoothest
tubers from hills that glvo tho larg
est yields.
I Liiil l ife and Land (ironth.
1 have made tho life of plants a
study for forty years. While at the
world's fair 1 interviewed many
foreign horticulturists and agricul
turists and in my opinion the Japa
nese know most about these subjects.
They are now dwarfing all trees
aud frulU- without budding or graft
ing and I believe I partly understaud
their mofto.
It is my opinion that by producing
trees by grafting and budding, and
potatoes by tuboro Instead of from
tho eod, we unex the plants and
trees, which will sooner or later de
stroy them by disease, that Is. finally
impair their vigor and vitality to
such an extent a to nuallr fall to
produce fruit.

The l.ife of a Farmer.
a old farmer gives some hints in
a letter to an exchange that may be
useful to our readers. He says: "I
have been, a farmer all my life,
which is over fifty years, and love it
for what can be raado out of it 1 do
not mean dollars an 1 cents entirely,
but real, genuine happiness, con
tentment and independence the
noblest occupation 'our Maker ever
designed for man.' I think what
makes so many get disheartened is
the hard work, before daylight and
after dark, and also on stormy days.
No need of it now, with all of our
improved machinery. Do your work
jn season. Don't try to cultivate
too many acres. Make all around
attractive and neat Have a place
for everything, and . put it there
when you are done using it Keep
up your fences, and gather up the
old rubbish. Mow and trim up the
weeds and brush nround your fences
nd buildings. Mako your home
pleasant, indoors as well as out.
Jlavo plenty of good books and
papers."
