27. Allison MacFarland, acquitted Oc tober 18 in Newark, N. of a charge of murdering his wife, has been arrested again, this time by Federal secret service men, who charge him with counterfeiting 50-cent pieces. MacFarland first started to copy the silver coins when in Essex county jail awaiting a second trial on the murder charge. To while away the time he made molds of tinfoil by rubbing the tin foil over coins and then filled the moid with candle drippings.

He strung these molds around his cell and Federal auth orities decided to watch Mac arland when he came out. After MacFarland was acquitted he lived at 100 West 106th street under the name Allison Mason. Secret service men watched him constantly and some purchases he made recently of silver foil and solder and other articles which might be used in counterfeiting, caused them to call on him and look over the work which required such material. WORK IS NOT GOOD. They found in his rooms molds of 50-cent pieces and in his pockets about 15 unfinished coins.

They were not particularly good counterfeits, but MacFarland told them his work of copying silver pieces was in the experimental stage. He had at first tried making plaster casts of the coins and then filling them with a composition. MacFarland denied the idea came to him in jail of counterfeiting 50-cent pieces by this new method, and asserts it sug gested merely a way of making cheap copies of expensive silver ornaments of original design by making a mold out of silver foil and then filling the mold with a composition. He used coins in experimenting with this process because he had started with them. He did not seem to know that attempting to duplicate United States currency for any purpose is unlawful.

He was taken to the Oldslip station and locked up under the name of John Williams. He will be arraigned before Commissioner Shields tomorrow. MacFarland, so far as the detectives could learn, has not married Miss Brom ley, writer of the "Bunny" letters which figured in his trial.

Meehan, 55 years old, owner of Dolan's "beef and" establishment at 6 Park Row, died early today in his home. 1840 Grand Boulevard Concourse, tna Bronx. He was up Saturday and news of his death startled his friends. In the dath of "Johnny" Meehan, New York lost one of its characters, lie lovea the plain people, but at the same time he did not scoff at those in high social posi tions. When Theodore Koosevelt was President, "Johnny" Meehan ent to a White House reception as a guest.

Although his wealth was estimated at from to Jl.OuO.UOO, "Johnny" Meehan never stopped carving ham at Dolan's. He always was behind the worn counter, shaving the ham and passing the plate to an assistant for the allotted portion of beans. lie always wore a white apron, a big diamond, whiskers and a smile. He often said the customers he liked best were the Park How newspapermen. All were his friends, and to them he ascribed much of the publicity that made him a semi-national character.

Puzzle for Strangers. "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed round." Visitors to New York next October will wonder at the mystic portent of thess words adorning the facade of a large white building in Eighth avenue. Ttie building is a structure of the Romanesque type, somewhat out of keeping with its surroundings, and the legend will blaze from the lofty pediment in silent majesty without revealing what the words mean or why they are there. Nothing about the exterior of the building will help dispel the mystery and the couriers will not be conspicuous. Why such a majestic building with such a classic motto adorning it should be bunt between the red brick tenements of Eighth avenue, will start many a visitor to scratching his head.

There's only one thing to do; ask a policeman. Thus will he reply: "That? Naw, that ain't no church. That's the new United States postoffice. I 'spose the couriers are the mail carriers; that's all it means." Many Americans Destitute. That fifty-four per cent, of applicants for aid in the Municipal Lodging house are native Americans, and that the cause of destitution in sixty per cent, of the cases is intemperance, are facts in the report of the charity organization.

No explanation for this large percentage of the destitute cases being Americans is made in the report. Observe "Tuberculosis Day." Sermons to stir churchgoers to realize that the white plague is as much a social as a medical problem and to arouse them to practical efforts to stay the disease, were preached from 100,000 pulpits of every denomination throughout the land today. It was the annual observance of "Tuberculosis Day." Statistics showing that 200,000 persons die annually from the disease in this country and that this means a death every three minutes, were used to impress the seriousness of the situation. Literature emphasizing the extent of the disease and showing methods for prevention also was distributed. Grant's Ring Lost.

It came to light today that six months ago Mrs. Nellie Sartoris Grant, since married to Frank H. Jones, a Chicago banker, lost in the Hotel Renaissance here a very valuable emerald ring, presented to General U. S. Grant by the late emperor of Japan when the former President visited Japan and the Orient in 1579.

Although private detectives and others have been on a hunt for the treasure, no trace of it has been found. Sirs. Jones lost the ring through the drain pipe in the room of her apartment. Firemen Given Mascot. A fashionably dressed woman drove up to the quarters of Truck 16 in tire headquarters today and asked to see the captain.

Captain George Fox went out and the woman said she wanted to present a mascot to the company because of her admiration of the firemen. She handed out a young Dalmatian hound and explained that he came of good stock. The captain accepted the gift and christened him "Chief." He a.sked thfc donor's name, but she preferred to remain unknown. ETT0K, JUROR RECOVERING Patient Whose Illness Halted Trial May Resume Place Today. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
