MY LEGACY.
A rare and priceless legacy
The fair, sweet summer left to me:
gare -pictures, gems, I think them alL
Watch I have bun? on memory's wall.
And In ar heart the summer lives
with all the joy that summer giree.
Green hill-sides dotted o'er with trees.
Tall grasses bent with playful breeze.
Wide meadows starred with daisies whit
And over all, the sunshine-bright.
O, winter has no power to chill
A heart that holds warm summer etilll
But more than all its birds and flower,
Far more than e'en its golden hours.
The gracious summer left to me,
In Its most priceless legacy,
A sweet true love, which can not die,
However cold the winter's sky I
n
Close In my heart I hold the gift
Which from my life alt clouds will lift.
Together love and I recall
The pictures hung on memory's walL
My little love, with sweet brown eyes.
Who came to me 'neatfi summer skies.
The golden hours were bright to me
Only when they were shared with thee.
The flowers seemed sweetest and most fair
When thou their beauty deigned to wear.
And now my heart forever lives
'Mid all the joys that summer gives.

MAGIC BEVEAUED.
Mysteries of Iaedgedennain sad
Second Sight Explained,
Key to the System by Which Blindfold
Person May See Some of the Tricks
f ,'. Which Won Success for Heller
A few yaars ago the amusement
loving citizens of New York were mys
tified beyond measure by the second
sight performances of Robert Heller.
They wero the talk of the town for
many days, because they seemed to be
outside the pale of ordinary feats of
legerdemain, and to have an almost
supernatural character. This diaberji
was never explained in any authorita
tive way that carried conviction to the
ordinary mind, although every one
formed bis own pet theory as to how it
was done, which theory was generally
upset subsequently by Heller himself.
The clever performer did some re
markable things in the way of second
sight. He could take up a quaint old
coin that was brought to the theater
for the' express purpose of puzzling him,
and Miss Haidee Heller, blindfolded,
would tell its nationality, color and
date. While ho held a lady's watch in
his hand, she would describe its appear
ance and even give its number, and,
best of all, when a person in the audi
ence opened a book at random Miss
Heller would tell the number of the
page at which it was opened, and read
the contents of the page. This trick
especially made credulous New Yorkers
fancy there was some unknown power
at work in the mental or psychological
make-up of Miss Heller or Robert Seller,
and they were utterly at sea as to how the
thing was done. Letters were writ tea
to the newspapers purporting to dis
close the secret, but falling widely short
of the real truth; magazine articles were
published on thesubject; theatre parties
and social clubs found an interesting
topic of discussion in this mighty prob
lem; but everybody after awhile, de
cided, with Dundreary, that it was one
of those things that "no felier can find
out"
Robert Heller fully realized the popu
lar perplexity on the subject, and he
would occasionally in his" witty, chatty
styxe pretend to give tne secret away,
something after
tuts
fashion, at the
close of an entertainment: "Ladies and
gentlemen You may say this is mag
netism, spiritualism, rheumatism, or
what you please, but you will probably
decide after all that it is simply Heller
ism." This sally, after the curiosity of
the audience was whetted with the ex
pectation of being able to pluck out the
heart of the mystery, usually brought
down the house, and everybody left the
theatre with the pleasant sense of hay
ing been delightfully puzzled beyond
their powers of comprehension.
So long as Heller could make a for
tune out of the second-sight business it
is not at all strange that the story of his
art was never accurately told, and that
many bright minds puzzled themselves
over it and never discovered the truth is
testimony to the remarkable system
which was mastered by him and his apt
pupil. Miss Heller. It is the purpose of
this article' however, to give in brief
such an insight into Heller's methods as
will enable the veriest-tyro to at least
understand how the trick was accom
plished, even if he should not have the
natural ability and quickness of percep
tion to master its details sufficiently
well to repeat it before a parlor full of
amazed listeners. The disclosures here
in made come substantially from 'a
well-known young amateur ot Brook
lyn, Mr. Harry S. Livingston, who
learned from Heller's own lips some of
his. well-known secrets and fronrE.
J. Pale, who was au assistant of the
magician on the otagc, or a "confed
erate," as cynical spectators would sav.
ior some ume, ana was tne assistant of
. - -
aw. ivmgscon ior two years. Air. L.W-
ingston, who has followed the pursuit
of scientific magic purely from a love
of the art, and is seen in public only in
connection with entertainments for
sweet charity's sake," has inr his
$10,000 collection of magical apparatus
many articles used by Heller in his per
formances in. the old hall in Twenty
fourth Street, now known as the Madi
son Square Theater. As Heller is dead,"
and Miss Heller "3 reported to be in
London delighting Englishmen of the
world and American tourists 'in the role
of a dispenser of bevciages that delight
the interior man, no harm can evidently
come to anyone by a plain recital of the
whole matter. The few magicians who
pretend to possess the gift of second
sight have much simpler systems, which
are far less surprising to the average
spectator than Heller's, and in com
parison aro puerile and unworthy of
consideration:
Heller had several methods 'of per
forming .the trick, which he would
change from night to night to prevent
discover)- at the hands of those per
sistent persons v. ho attended his seances
every evening in order to finally dis
comfit him by a discovery. . By usin
several methods a night everybody
would be more mystified than ever. In
the first place, Heller formed as a basis
of his operations a list of over four
hundred articles, which would cover al
most everything that an audience would
be likely to bring to a theater. This
was subdivided into a group of thirteen.
These series were committed to memory
by Heller and his fair assistant in the
order in which tHey were arranged. For
instance, here is one of the series that
was used to give the color of an article,
or the first thirteen letters of the alpha
bet, or the numeral herewith stated.
As will be seen, the color, letter,
or number was obtained by the way ia
wnicn tne question was xramea.
Can you name this?..
Can you give thi?....
.Brown 1 a.
winte 8 to.

wnat a tais? ....
What is this?
And this? ,
This Is what?.
Will you name this?. . .
Will you give this?....
Will you tell this?
Glre this
Xellthla?
The. cue to this series, if the
color of
"color."
1 oDiect was asked for, is
Can you name this color?" would be
owh, of course; "Can you give' this
color' wklte, and so on. If any other
letters of the alphabet were wanted,
say to tell the monogram on a watch or
sleeve-bmttosu a snap of the finger
would accompany the question, the ns
maining letters in the alphabet bearing
the same relative position to the series
g'ven. For instance, N, the fourteenth
tter in the alphabet would be given bj
asldngthefirstquestiosw "Can you name
tiiis lettsrF" accompanied by a snap of
the angers. The fifteenth letter in the
alphabet would require the second ques
tion, and a throflghthe list. , , .
Heller's success in this and other'
methods depended largely on his own
marvelous memory and the memory of
Haidee Heller, and when he put one, of
these or other questioBS to her, in the
most natural and off-hand manner in
the world, she would respond as quick
ly as if the object were right before her
eyes. This will be readily recalled by
anyone who has ever seen one of his
performances. There was another
series of questions which was used in
the same way, the cue being color for
colors, precious stones for such, these
different groups of thirteen each being
classified in theorder of the series of
questions already given, or of this series

A snap of the finger- would accom
plish tho same purpose in this series as
in the other. ". .
The system of the elder Hermann and
of Houdin was very-cumbersome and
apparent. A long string of questions
would sometimes have to be asked to
get at a very simple object, and the sys
tem was, moreover, very mucn circum
scribed and inadequate to the purpose.
Mention has been made of Heller's
classification of objects into groups of
thirteen. Materials were arranged in
'this list: ,Stone, cloth, gum, putty,
leather, cork, marble, glass, ore, ivory,
rubber, wood and hair. The metals
chosen were: Gold, silver, brass, nickel,
steel, tin, lead, platinum, mercury, cop
per, bronze, zinc and. iron.-' Precious
stones were: Diamond, topas, emerald,
ruby, amethyst, blood-stone, opal, cam
eo, cat's-eye, sapphire, onyx, carbuncle
and pearL Designs were arranged in
this order: Skull, head, musical instru
ment, house, figure, -insect, coin; star,
monogram, -three links, square and
compass, strap and buckle and. weapon.
Leading countries were also system
atized in this way, and, as for playing
cards, the ten numbered cards corre
ponded with first tea questions in a se
ries, and the jack, queen and king with
the three last questions.
Heller and his assistant used every
means for dramatic effect Taking up
a watch, he would give the proper cue
to Miss Heller, who, knowing full well
what the object was, would describe it
as a round object and bright, and finally,
after seeming difficulty, would say what
it was amid much applause. The num
ber of the watch was given by means of
the system stated. "Can you give" the
number was the cue for units, "tell the"
for tens, "will yqu give" for hundreds,
"what's the" for thousands, and "give
the" for hundreds of thousands. Say
tne watcn was numbered zuoz. Heller
would remark, "What's the number"
on this, giving the cue for thousands
thereby, and adding "how,-" which will
be seenby reference to the second series
of questions given stands for "2." Miss
Heller would slowly reply, "Two thou
sand." and Heller would respond, "Very
well," "how," which would elicit from
his assistant "82" at once.' Heller.
. .... A '
however, had other systems for per
forming the second-sight trick. One of
them called electricity into play. There
was an armature and magnet in the
bottom of the loonge upon which Miss
Heller sat, and for ordinary articles
there were thirteen telegraphic signals
that Dale, who was on the stage con
cealed from view, would telegraph to
her. She could feel the pulsations of
the magnet, and would know at once
what the article was that Heller was
holding in his hand without saying a
word. It was especially puzzling to
many persons to see Heller take up an
article from some person in the audience,
and, altnough he apparently gave no
sign and certainly did not speak. Miss
Heller would promptly say what it was.
They did not know how simple the solu
tion was. When Heller played in his
Broadway Theater, now Harrigan &
Hart's, there was lattice-work on the
front of the stage covered with artificial
flowers. Behind this sat Mr. Dale.
Miss Heller was seated blindfolded,
with her back to the audience. Heller
would take up some article from the
first or second row, and Mr. Dale,
through a strong opera-glass slyly pene
trating the lattice, could see very clearly
what it was aud telegraph to Miss Hel
ler. To vary the system as much as
possible, Dale on some night3 would
communicate to her through a speaking-tube
that ran through the stage
floor up through the lounge where she
sat.
Perhaps the most impudent thing in
the way of audacity that Heller ever did
was the book trick. A gentleman in the
rear of the audience, apparently from the
country, would hold up a volume and
say? "Now, I'd like Miss Heller to tell
me what I've got in mv hand." Heller
would appear annoyed, woidd not notice
him further than to say : "You should
have spoken of this sooner," in a net-
i -
tied tone. Suspicion would grow that
i Heller was '-stuck," and finally, as the
rmflflAmOfl urlirk roao immamIU A..A.
was .persistent, the great magician
would elicit from Miss Heller
that it was a book. Then he
would go on the stage, and in order to
make the:, bandage over Miss Heller's
eyes doubly effective annarentlv. he
would tie a glove over each eye. They,
nowever, -wouiu oe tied in such a way
asto.form a sort of French roof over
each optic, so that Miss Heller could
see very well looking down. The dude
wanted to know the name of the book,
and after due consideration Miss Heller
would say, for instance. Rawlinson's
"History of the Ancient Egyptians."
Heller would tell the dude to put a play
ing card in the book at random and
open it It was done, and Heller would
fiance-at the page, and, asking Miss
teller the proper questions, she would
at once give its number. The astonished
dude verified the auswer. Then Miss
Heller would proceed to read the con
tents of the page, to the amazement of
everybody. This trick was not done
every night. The explanation is simple.
Miss Heller had a duplicate book, and1
the dude was another confederate.
When she got the cue for the page and
gave it, she turned to the page on her
lap, her back being turned to the audi
ence, and coolly read its contents. The
book was kept concealed in a secret
pocket of the lounge, and was quietly
returned there before she left the stage.
Before a performance of second-sight
Heller would often borrow half a' dozen
articles from the audience and put them
in a hat. Half an hour later he would
let any one in the audience, when he
fished out an article, ask Miss Heller
what it was. She could always answer.
This seems strange, but it is simple as
any other mystery when it is-explained.
Before the performance of second-sight
Heller would find occasion to go on the
stage, either to bandage Miss Heller's
eyes or something of the sort, and he
would tell her quickly, and in a very
low tone of course, the contents of the
hat She would remember the articles
in the order ia which he enumerated
them, and Heller was careful to pick
them out of the hat in the same order.
Of course, he would not allow any
person in the audience to pick them out
These are the various systems used by
Heller in his second-sight . business.
Murder will out, and so will maonciaas
tricks, and these explanations asay be
accepted as the truth of the 'whom
matter. Of course there are very manyj
other details connected wish the. per
formance bf magic which it is unneces
sary to go into here. They are simply;
cumulative. Anybody with an excellent
memory and a quickness of perception
can do the most difficult trick with the
aid of another person similarly gifted.'

TYPESETTING MACHINES.
A New Invention WUcfc
. to the IntoUbrant Ceasyoatter.
There are about Congress some of the
1est shorthand writers in the world,
writes a Washington correspondent
Nearly all ofjthem are speculators "in la
quiet way, and some of them are quite
rich. Most of them are at present in
terested in the new type-setting machine
which is being perfected in Baltimore.
Here is & machine which- is manipu
lated by a keyboard similar to that of
the type-writer. Each top of the key
moulds and manufactures a new type
out of stereotype metal, so that one fink
of work represents a solid bar of metal
with a raised face of the letters struck.
This bar can be sliced like cheese for
the correction of proofs or justifying,
andean be made in 'such shape that it
dan be locked in 'a cylindrical form so as
to go- upon any of the presses where
stereotype plates can go. Tkebeantr
of this work is that the prssswork is
done each time from the face of new
type. Hit is practiable the machine is
so clean and simple that the work of
type-setting can oe done in a parlor
without any dust or litter.
- When there machines' are ready to go
to work the intelligent compositor will
be banished. Bis place will be 'taken
by nimble fingered, neatly dressed
young women. The dirt of the great
newspaper establishments of the future
will be swept into the basement 'where'
the presswork is done, while the money
saved by those machines will be de
voted to the embellishment and adorn
ment of the up stairs part ef the publi
cation office, so that the editorial rooms
of the future will beall that art and
luxury can devise. The editor of 'the
future will recline upon an easy chair
and softly murmur his editorial musings,
in the pink ear of a gentle and 'lovely
maiden, whose fingers will- set his
thoughts as fast as uttered, so that as
soon as he has finished a proof of them
can be instantly hung up in front of
him for correction. This is the glowing
picture of the work of the editor of the
future given me by one of the steno
graphers interested in the development
of the machine. One of the principal
stenographers of Washington has in
vested the savings of a life-time in this
invention.
Belief in the virtues of this type-setting
machine has spread to Congres
sional circles. Senator Pendleton and
at least a dozen more of his associates
have stock in the enterprise. It has
been worked up among the offices in
about the same way as the Bell 'tele-,
phone stock before it took its great'
sweepjupward. Through the location,
of the Patent Office here and the pres
ence" of a large class of patent attor
neys, nearly everyone in official life has
heard of some marvelous fortunes being)
made in tho lottery of inventions.

BUSTED IN LOVE.
Unfortunate Condition of a Marrying Toaas
Man from Detroit.
H there is one thing sadder than an
other in this world it Is to see a young
man with a buffalo-skin overcoat on sit
ting on the winter side of a grocery with
tears in his eyes and nothing but a
yam mitten to wipe them away with.
Such a case was discovered by a po
licemen on Grand River Avenue yester
day, and when asked the cause of the
young man's sorrow the reply-was:
"Busted in love."
"Who was she?"
"Worked in a corset factory."
"Well, that's very little to cry over.
Plenty of other girls around, youknow."
"Yes, but Pve been to a fortune'
teller, and I tell you things look dark..
She took up a skull, shuffled over some'
cards and went into a trance and told,
me I was to marry a widow with six
children."
"O, pshaw!"
Fact and here I am with less than,
four dollars in money, no property, no
clothes, no job and going to have six
children to clothe and feed and lick and'
school and take care of! The widow
she'll want new duds and jewelry, audi
will be howling to go to the opera and
the roller rinks, and nobody knows how:
many relations she'll bring into the.
house for me to support!"
"O, well, it may be all right per
haps it will be a rich widow."
"No such good luck as that She'll
be poor but aspiring, and the young

and if I had any grit I'd commit sui

ALUM.
Description of the Natnraa and Artificial
Article.
Native alum appears in the form of
an efflorescence or argillaceous rock in
various parts of the country, especially
in the Silver Mountain district, Alpine
County, California, but the deposits are
too light to be of much practical value.
Some years ago a discovery was re
ported of what was termed an alum
lode, on Howell Mountain, Napa
County, California, remarkable for its
extent and purity, but as little alum
from that locality has ever found its
way to market, it is probable that the
account of the discovery was much ex
aggerated. The existence of native
alum is reported in other parts of Cali
fornia and also in Colorado, but it is
extremely doubtful if it has been found
anywhere as a mineral in quantities ot
available bulk. Artificial alum, or the
alum of commerce, is a manufactured
commodity, and the supplies consumed
in this country arc both the imported
article and that manufactured in a few
Eastern chemical works. During the
census year ending May 31, 1880, the
production of alum in the United States
was nearly thirty million pounds, valued
at $808,165. The production of artifi
cial alum in 1882 amounted to between
16,000 and 30,000 tons, which at. two
cents a pound would be worth $640,000
to $800,000. The -process of manu
facture is very simple, .consisting in
mixing the alum-clay with sulphuric
acid, dissolving the sulphate of al
umina thus formed, and then adding a
solution of sulphate of ammonia and
crystalizing the resulting salt The
principal manufactories in this country
are in New York City, Buffalo. Phila
delphia and Pittsburgh. Boston Jour
nal of Commerce.

CHARACTER BUILDING.
Rome SngSCfttlnns Itelatln; to a Subject la
Wblch Ali'nioUiCK Am Znttx-ratrt!. '
The truo a'm of education is the
building up of noble character. George
Washington had not very much
schooling.' He was not even a per
fect speller." He knew little or nothing
of Greek aud Latin, little of science or
art but was he uneducated? Abraham
Lincoln had fewer opportunities to
acquire book learning than Washington
had, but b's name will go down with
Washington's to remotest ages. Neither
Benjamin Franklin nor Horace Greeley
ever went to college, but what two mn
have- done mora' for their times than
these two?
Thetfirst settlers in any country must
build their homes of the materials
nearest at hand and mo-.t read ly ap
propriated. Our forefjt!.4ra, whose
virtues are our boast, lived aud died in
log houses plastered with mud, but
they were good, honest, substantial log
houses, well made and proof against
weather. Many a Mexican grandee
lives in an adobe house and thinks as
much of himself as though his habita
tion were of marble. And vhy should
he not? In sight, as we write, is a pala
tial house building, the materials of
which are boulders gathered from the
adjacent pastures, broken and chiselled
into shape. and faced with briok. What
a sermon that house preaches!
In building character as in bunding
houses the majority of men and women
must take" materials nearest at hand and
make the best of them. There is, al-.
ways enough of good material about us
to make noble character. We may take
the stern, homely unpromising facts of
out lives and transform them into stepping-stones
of progress, into edifices of
utility if not beauty. Now these boys that
this mother is so anxious about; if they
are learning to be honest, Ailf-reliant,
patient industrious, thorough, just, en
terprising; if they are ming' all the op
portunities they can command to ac
Sttire the information most useful to
iem in their work, and applying the
information so acquired to the further
ance of their work, they are getting in
so far a very valuable education. A
man's wits can be sharpened on a great
many different kinds of whetstones. A
mans mind may be stored with a great
many kinds of useful information. How
to make the ends meet how to accom
plish certain desired results are often
problems more difficult than any that
college students puzzle over in algebra or
calculus. They stimulate and sharpen
the intellectual faculties and give fine
practical results beside. "Patient con
tinuance" in the humble, monotonous,
apparently inconsequent routine of daily
life appointed to the majority of men
and women may be inspired by aspira
tion for "glory and honor and immor
tality," and have as its reward "eternal
life." What greater reward than this
can. mortal man receive?
Because these boys can not go to
school they need not be ignorant of the
knowledge that may be gained from
books. We know a youth who is em
ployed from early morning till dark in
helping support his father s family, but
who in fragments of leisure has mastered
the principles of chemistry, read all
Shakespeare's plays. Bacon's -Essays,
text books in several of the sciences,
and is well advanced in algebra. His
plane of thinking is higher, his power,
of apprehension and comprehension far
greater than th&se of youths of his age
who have been always at school. His
mother studies with him, and contrives
to keep in advance of him so she can
help him over hard places and discuss
with him the books he reads. This
enables her to give a high tone to the
family life, to create an atmosphere of
intellectuality at the fireside in which
the love of literature and science may
flourish. Of course doing this she must
omit doing a great many, things conr
sidered necessary by many mothers.
She has little time for embroideries and
fancy cooking and the superfluous nice
ties of housekeeping.
Among the pyramids of Egypt at
least one has been found that is built of
bricks made from Nile mud fastened
together with "stubble instead of
straw," and doubtless the work of the
Israelites when compelled to "get straw
where they could find it" For over
8,000 years that structure has stood, a
monument of patient faithful toil, and
it will doubtless stand as long as its
elderbrother Cheops, and in its meas
ure as praiseworthy a structure as that
Some years ago a man with brains
and some money bought a rocky,
swampy farm, with au unmanageble
stream flowing through it from an
owner whose father had starved on it
and who himself had done likewise.
The new purchaser with the rock built
substantial fences, bridges over the
stream and buildings, drained the
swamps, using the muck from them to
enrich the barren land, on which he
planted fruit trees, and in a few years
transformed the waste place into a
beautiful and fruitful Eden and sold it
for double all it had cost him.
We might go on this vein indefinitely,
but it is unnecessary. To be faithful
over the few things, to build well of the
materials furnished us and which we
can command by dilieent labor is all
that is required of us. "It is accepted of

the film acted as a kind of diaphragm,

arranging to parry on this line of specu

going to "stake" men who
sure trying to strike gold in matrimonial
ventures. Whenever man can con
vince by the production of love letters
and other reliable evidence that he is
reasonably sure of marrying a rich wife,
Larry will lend him the money to go on.
He runs a great risk of losing, but he
charges 100 per cent, interest and keeps
the love letters for security, besides
taking a note which states for what pur
pose the borrower expects to use the
money. If he comes out all right in his
calculations, he is sure to pay as he is
in Larry's power, and even if he is un
successful he will be very apt to try and
reheve himself of the obligation, as an
exposure would be, to say the least un
pleasant "I once knew a gambler who backed
up a young man," said a third member
of the party, "about the same way.
The person had once been quite well off
and belonged to an excellent family.
.But he got down in the world and was
in a bad way, as he was incapable of
making a living in any business.
" 4Wuy don't you marry a lady with
plenty of money and be independent,'
asked his gambling friend one day.
Can't do it, because I have not the
money to appear in society, and besides
people are beginning to find out that I
have lost my fortune replied the young
fellow. The gambler agreed to furnish
'the money with which to make the trial.
That season the fellow visited all the
leading watering places, dressed in the
height of fashion, and appeared to have
no end-of money, which he spent in the
finost princely manner. He met a
beautiful girl, with a rich father, and
'married her the following winter. On
the wedding day her father gave her
$50,000 as a starter. When the bride
groom came to settle up with his friend,
the gambler, he was indebted to him
$5,000. Three months afterward he
gave the gambler $15,000. The couple
are living happily to-day on Fifth

SILK THREADS IN GREENBACKS.
The Trouble the Goyernment Has Had
with the Man Who Invented the Paper.
"There, I guess that will finally set
tle that annoyance." "
The remark was uttered by an official
of the Treasury as he signed his name
to a terse official document
"To what annoyance do you allude P"
inquired the Journal correspondent
"It is a long story, but if you are in
terested you shall have it Yon have
probably not noticed the two silk lines
running through all United States bills.
No? I thought not I noticed that a
writer in one of the New York dailies
the other day made the assertion that
there were not a thousand men in New
York who had ever made the discovery.
Such is the fact, however." And draw
ing from his pocket a five-dollar legal
tender, he pointed out, besides the silk
scraps of thread scattered through the
body of the note, two perfect threads of
silk running through the entire length
of the paper, and about an inch and a
half apart
"About thirty-five years ago," he con
tinued, "the English Government aban
doned the practice of incorporating silk
fiber in its bank-note paper. Some years
after that an Englishman named Hay
ward came to this country and took out
a patent for the manufacture of this pa
per. He tried for years to get the Govern
ment to adopt it without success. Five
or six years ago the Treasury decided to
abandon the use of the "distinctive bank
note-paper formerly used for securities
.and advertised for samples and pro
posals for a new paper. A large num
ber of bids and samples were received,
and after an investigation all were re
jected. Among the bidders was this
man Hayward. He had induced a
paper firm to make samples for him,
and the Government paid $2,100 for the
samples. Other proposals were invited,
and the bid of Crane & Co., of Dalton,
Mass., was accepted. The paper which
they were to furnish contained a few
pieces of silk threads scattered through
it end in order that it might be still
more distinctive, it was decided to run
two threads through each bill as I have
shown you. Hayward was not satisfied.
Although his patent had expired several
years before the contract with Crane &
Co. was made, he persisted that .he
should have had it, and that as it was
not awarded him, he should be paid for
his trouble and for the use of his patents.
For five years or more he has hounded
the department ' His claims are simply
stupendous. He has written hundreds
of letters and hundreds more have been
writtan by his friends and attorneys.
