BEET SUGAB.
Profits nnil I'otfglhllltlcH or u Uroulng In
dustry.
A recent government report gives a good
deal of valuable Information on the growth
of the beet sugar Industry in this country ,
and , as the Industry Is located almost wholly
nt the west , It raises the presumption that
the western farmer may be freed from the
thrnlidom of the two staples , corn nnd
wheat , which has been fatal to that diversi
fied agriculture which Is the most remunera
tive form of successfully carrying on the
business of tilling the soil.
As the United States produces now less
than one-sixth of the sugar its people con
sume and vastly more wheat and corn than
Is consumed at home. It would seem , says
the Chicago Record , that the sugar Industry
would offer special Inducements to the west
ern farmer.
Beet sugar has been made In the United
States for the past fifteen years , the Initial
manufactory being located at Alvarado , Cal. ,
and It is still in operation. Since then
works have been established at other points
In California , In Nebraska , Utah and Vir
ginia.
It was not until 1SS7 that beet sugar be
came much of a factor In our domestic com
merce , In which ycur the product was
600,000 pounds. Since then the Industry has
very rapidly developed , aa the following fig
ures will show :
Pounds. Pounds.
1SS7 CUO.OOO , 1S91 12,001,0 * )
tt.88 1,000.000 ; 1M2 117,033,288
ISM ; . O.OUU.OCW IS93 < 43,618.73 ?
IfOO 8,003,000
Of the entire amount produced In 1S93
34,020,439 pounds were the product of Cali
fornia manufactories.
The Interesting feature of this exhibit Is
that the acreage devoted to the growth of
beets to supply the seven manufactories In
1S93 was 20,000 and the average price paid
the farmer for the raw material was $1.50
per ton. While the product of Hie sugar
cane is said to bo limited to about 1,000,000
pounds annually , owing to the restricted
area In which cane can be profitably grown ,
the area capable of producing the sugar beet
is practically unlimited. It is true that
some soils will produce beets yielding a
larger jier cent of saccharine matter than
others , yet any good soil can produce boots
from which sugar , can bo profitably made.
It wquld seem that' the production of beets
for sugar in this country is the solution of
the question as to the plethora of arlcultural
products In our ow'n markets , the consequent
depression of which causes the American
farmer to complain. His products are bulky ,
costly to'transport and can bo put practlca'.ly
Into only two condensed forms cattle and
flour and these are also expensive to trans
port. The machinery reiulred to successfully
raise beets Is not expensive , nor Is the labor
hard or constant.
The Industry Is growing nnd farmers should
use every effort to encourage It.
A POLISH CUSTOM.
KIoincntB of Success In an Kngngcnicnt
Ceremony.
There nre mnny phnses of life In Buffalo ,
says the Express , which nro hidden from
those whose vocations do not call them
to every quarter of Buffalo. Each locality
hns Its distinctive form of amusing di
vergences from the well known American
nnd English customs , but none Is so pro
lific , perhaps , In qucrr customs , ns "I.lttle
Poland. " It was the pleasure of an Express
reporter a day or two ngo to be pit-sent
at the celebration of the engagement of
a young Polish couple , the festivities being
held In one of the numerous east side halls ,
whose particular habitat IH In thnt section
over which Captain Koehler holds sway as
chief police officer.
There were assembled In the hall about
200 young Poles , with their parents nnd
chnperons , although the place had not ac
commodation for more than u quarter of
that number. The young folks who were
the renter of Intel est stood under n chan
delier In the center nnd their best friends
stood grouped around them. They had
joined hands when the father of the gaudily
dressed , prospective bride stood over them
with n ghtss with the foam of the beer it
contained running down Its sides. He ut
tered some mystic words In Polish nnd the
brldo drew her skirts.carefully about her ,
nnd the gloss , beer and all was sent s-m-ish
to the lloor. This was considered a sign of
good luck nnd that the youngcouple will be
prolific In their newly acquired state , nnd
everybody rushed to the center congratu
lating and Ulpslng the now blushing couple.
Hud the glass not been broken It would have
been regarded as u sure sign that the mar-
rlago was not ordained In heaven and that
the divine blessing would be denied the
principals and their offspring. It would have
been a matter for profuse weeping on the
part uf both the young matt nnd wonmn.
The parents who had before been wreathed
III smiles would have become the stern
oreututes so often noticed In the stories of
the present day , and there would have been
tribulation all around. The man's parents
would have been Just as adverse to the
union an were those of the woman , but In
the circumstances related the augury was a
happy one nnd the wedding Is not far oft.
The pieces of broken pluss were carefully
swept together , washed and placed In a
satin-lined box , to become n priceless treas
ure In the new family ,

ABU Notes Dnnvn nml
Culurcil by Ilniiil.
The projectors and operators of the prl-
vato mint In Omaha nre counterfeiters In
name only. Beyond the making uf the die ,
there Is no skill required to turn out maver
ick sliver coin. Their product Is supposed
to be genuine so far as the quantity and
quality of the material are concerned , nnd
the profits come from the difference between
the bullion and fiat value of the coin. The
mint is a profitable snap , requiring only
ordinary skill and no great amount of
shrewd planning or endurance. The up to
date system of competing with the govern
ment differs from that of a generation ago ,
Say what ono may , there Is always an ele
ment of romance attached to the tales of
the old-time coiners and counterfeiters
They did not waste their time In photo
graphing ono bill and laboriously working
It up with pen and colored Ink , nnd as for
turning out lead nickels and pewter quar
ters , they would sooner have gone to a
police court than soil their hands with such
humiliating work ,
The Ballards , Brockways , Doylcs nnd
Smyths of twenty and thirty years ago were
Intelligent , capable rogues. What they set
out to do they did well. Despising small
work , they turned their attention to en
graving $500 notes and $1,000 bonds , and Imi
tating the fiber paper of the government
How well they did their work Is n matter
of history , and that such desperate and
daring criminals exist no more , to plot and
plan their big schemes , must bo regarded
as a triumph for the secret service bureau
of the treasury department , which has sup
pressed them , root and branch.
No country , probably , has ever produced
such an adroit counterfeiter ns Brockway ,
unless It bo our own , which matches him
In Tom Ballard. William E. Brockway Is
now an old and reformed man , and , per
haps , It Is unkind to recall his misdeeds.
Stilt , a person who could organize a band
capable in one single venture of floating
nearly $250,000 of United States 6 per cent
coupon and registered bonds , and when cap
tured surrendered some $100,000 In superbly
executed national bank notes of large de
nomination , naturally suggests himself when
the subject of counterfeiting Is under dis
cussion.
Although , as hns'nlready been stated , the
men and methods of these old-time counter
feiters have passed away and given place to
humbler Imitators , the work of these latter
Is not without Interest. Take , for Instance ,
says the New York Herald , the photo-pen
artist , who turned out a few days ago a $100
treasury note.
Among those persons who are more or less
familiar with counterfeiters , the new Imita
tion was of great Interest. This is because
It Is the first bill of the kind ever counter
feited , because the process Is entirely new ,
and also because it Is thought to be the im
proved work of a sly rogue whose opera
tions have perplexed the treasury officials for
some years past.
The photo-pen process Is supposed to be
the work of an Individual known as the "pen
and Ink" artist , who heretofore has 'confined
his efforts exclusively to turning out bills by
the toilsome labor of drawing them with the
pen , using Ink of various colors for the work.
At one time It was thought that he could , ,
not producq more than two of these bills a
year , later on the period was reduced to 'six
weeks , and now It js believed that by the as
sistance of photography he will be able to re
duce the time required for the execution of n
$100 bill to about two weeks , which makes
very poor wages for a man evidently talented ,
who runs great risks In earning his liveli
hood.
So far as can be ascertained , the pen and
ink artist has turned out In all about twenty
bills. Among those which have reached the
Treasury department are four or five 20's , a
few 50's and but two $100 notes. ,
Prior to the bill of the last denomination
already referred to , there reached the Treas
ury department about a month ago another
treasury note of the series of 18SO. This did
not pass In through a subtreasury , but was
sent direct by a bank , which had received It
In the ordinary cour&o of business.
All these pen and Ink counterfeits are evi
dently the work of an expert draftsman or
artistic penman , who works with the aid of n
high power magnifying glass. At first sight
the notes look remarkably well , ns can be In
ferred from the facts that so many of them
get into circulation , and that the artist has
never yet been Identified. They will not ,
however , bear a close inspection , nnd have
never been known to deceive the expert
tellers of the New York subtreasury.
Speaking of the experts Mr. Maurlco Muhlo-
man , the deputy assistant treasurer at the
New York subtreasury , said recently that not
In his recollection had ono been caught on a
counterfeit bill. So familiar have they become -
come tor the feeling of the genuine fiber pa
per upon which the government money Is
printed that the difference between the spur- }
ous and the real Is rather a matter of a nice
discrimination of touch than of anything else.
If a note feels peculiar It Is tossed aside for
a further examination , which rarely ever
falls to disclose a counterfeit.
The difficulty of securing or Imitating the
fiber paper of the government hns had ns
much to do probably with minimizing coun
terfeiting as nny other one cause. Brock-
way , to bo sure , secured or manufactured a
largo quantity of the paper.
How he obtained it was never revealed to-
the public , but ono of the conditions upon
which ho was released from prison was that
he should reveal the secret to the govern
ment. Tlmt ho did so Is proven by the fact
that he was never prosecuted for his lust
and most stupendous crime , the bond coun
terfeiting , and also since that date , 1880 , no
counterfeits on paper containing the Bilk
fiber have ever appeared.
The only thing that has been left to the
forgers In this respect Is the Imitation of
the red and blue threads with a deft touch of
colored Ink with a brush , or by printing
them on the paper before the main Im
pression Is taken.
Falling to secure a supply of the paper ,
ono counterfeiter , It Is recorded , having an
extensive knowledge of chemistry , was nblo
to discover a preparation which he used to
wash off all the printing upon the surfaces
of $1 United States notes , thus supplying
the paper for counterfeits of larger de
nominations.
This method furnls'ici ? the paper but Im
paired the surface so that a good Impres
sion of the spurious bill was rendered ex
ceedingly difficult. Tlmt It did Jiot glvo
success It was tried by Pctu.McCnrtney
Is prqven by the fact that no one else has
resorted to It. ,
To the difficulty of securing- good paper Is
duo the alteration of small notes Into those
of larger denominations , which Is now most
extensively practiced. At times this work
Is exceedingly well done. The methods of ,
raising notes are as numerous as they are
Ingenious and Interesting. Great assistance
is rendered the raiser of notes by .the
geometrical lathe work , figures , words , the. ,
which are found upon Internal revenue
stamps , both for spirits and cigars and to
bacco.
Oddly enough , In nearly every Instance
thu Ink used .In printing these latter Is
Identical with that of the notes. They are
removed deftly , cut out and pasted pml
pressed so neatly as to almost defy detec
tion. It | s a very strange thing , but never
theless true , that but few men can carry In
their minds an accurate description of it
bill that Is. the arrangement of the vig
nette and whom It represents , and the dis
position of the numerals upon the reverse
of the note ,
The raisers of bills from a lower to a
higher denomination bear tils ) , fact , ' well In
mind , and It Is of thu greatest possible aid
to them In passing the money , So remark
ably Ignorant nro many Americans of the
money In circulation that Bomo of the alter-
cr do not change anything but the donomU
nation of the bill which appears In largo
words or numerals.
Thus an altered note may appear with
small "ones" scattered all over It , and the
'AM. - , . ' tfSC . tJL
changed portrait , > ot some unknown Indi
vidual , and from ihe fact that the most
prominent numcnlla , words and characters
nro " 10. " "Ten" ami "X , " pass In n hurry
for n bill of the hitter denomination. This
may seem almost ) Incredible , but can bo
easll verified.
Of course the panting on qf numerals , etc. ,
without the altering of other words or portraits
traits , arc comparatively crude efforts at
counterfeiting.
Experts nt nllnnlng bills nml there nro
mnny such-'go much further , nnd by mentis
nnd devices known < only to themselves turn
out some really iremarkable productions ,
turning Mnrthn Washlngtons Into Thomas
Jeffersons ; Admiral Farraguts for Llncolns ,
nnd performing numerous other miracles
with a deftness that seems worthy of a bet
ter cause.
They do not hesitate , for Instance , to
mutilate , In part , a bill of large denomina
tion , using the material to raise n note of
small value , and securing the redemption of
the damaged bill nt the subtreasury.
Chief urummond has nt his ollleo , It Is
said , what looks to much like a $10 silver
certllldate that not one man In a thousand
would hcsltuto accepting It. U Is , In
reality , only n dollar bill , expertly altered.
The bg ! figure , Indicating the denomination ,
Is In each case replaced by an X removed
from a rcnl $10 bill In the manner described
above.
The numeral , together with the oval bit of
lathe work , cut from a $10 certificate , was
pasted on and worked over nnd over with n
metal Instrument , until It , seems ns though
It were part of the bill Itself , leaving no
traces of demarcation to the naked eye.
In like manner , fllver certificates of $1
anil $2 are among the Impounded articles
raised to $3 and $20. Treasury notes of $1
nre raised to $10 , nnd old $1 national bank
notes transformed Into $50 , The alteration
of notes rarely extends beyond the latter de
nomination , and , of course , In addition to
the counterfeiter's 'trust In the Ignorance of
the public , he seeks to crumple and soil the
bill at much as possible to further conceal
his work.
The development of photography , photo
engraving , process work nnd other forms of
engraving nbout this time caused the officials
of the secret service considerable alarm ,
which , however , has not been justified by
the results.
Such work as has been turned out Is not
calculated to deceive , the Impressions nrc
not sharp , the fine lines blur and the whole
appearance of the counterfeits is poor. Tlio
work of the geometrical lathe has never
been successfully imitated but once In the
history of counterfeiting In this country ,
and then by Smyth , the engraver of Brock-
way's gang , who wa-j credited with doing
some of the finest work by hand ever seen
In this country.
