Money Made By Women

Chief Hazen, the head of the Secret Service of the treasury department, is now in Canada, whither he has gone to extradite the noted woraan counterfeiter, Mrs. Mack. There is no doubt that she will be convicted and sent to the penitentiary for her crimes. Mrs. Mack is not the only woman who is uader the arm of the law for this offense, for there are at least half a dozen more who have been caught "shoving the queer" during the past twelve months. Very few women make the bogus money, and almost the only part they play, as a rule, is to pass it. The men make the stuff and the women tako it out to shop with, and thus get it into circulation. But if a woman is onco suspected she is easily caught, because her sphere of action is so much more limited than that of a man. Anna Kelly of San Francisco is about the only woman, e.xcept Mrs. Forran, who makes the money herself. Her method is to imitate the coins of the country. This is done by having an alloy covered with silver, and by putting glass and a bit of copper into the composition, the weight and metallic ring of the genuine money are admirably imitated. All of the pictures of these women are in a huge case in the room of the Secret Service división. One woman so decidedly objected to having herself photographed that she was sketched while in court, and the penand-ink drawing is now preserved among the other photographs of the collection. As a rule, the women are rough in appearance and illiterate, and have hard countenances.
