New YoRk, Oct lst, 1893.
Editor oftbe Herald
Gentlemen knowing that you opposed TO the
many modes of swindlng carried on in this city of
yours shall herewith inform you of a mode which
quite novel.
Yesterday I dropt into one of the fashionable "Hat
Stores" of Broadway looked around and found hat
which suited me, and which purchased for SIX dol
lars. They told me II would look better to have q
warm iron passed over II, which they would do for
me, if | would wait few moments waited, they
sent il another room, after remaining some ten RAJ
nutes they brought back hat which was made after
the same fashion Of the the one selected, but was
one OF much inferior quality. told them was not
the same They said il was, and would not exchange
il for another; consequently as my money was paid,
was Obliged to take that or none.
am a stranger here, and am net fully acquainted
with the many modes for swindling. This may prove
cheap lesson for me, and hope its being made pub
lie, wt sAse some othersthe expense of q tuition. -
Yours, DC, r. r.
! Now this evil might be very easily avoided by all
strangers going int respectable store such, par
example as Leary's undsr the As,or House.
FRoM BERmUpA.-By an arrival from Bermuda, We
have received papers to September 18th. The Royal
Gazette Of the 18th, paper which has strongly ia
vored the abolition Of slavery in the West Indies
says
1--WE are sorry to learn that not one-third Of the
Gently liberated Prrdal Apprentices in Jamaica have
returned to their work those who have receiving
one shilling and eight pence per day. with all the COM
forts and privileges which they enjoyed when appren-
tees Some of the ask ten shiliags Fer day for
their labor this rate 10 quite preposerous, Tor no es
tate in the Island could possibly pay ii and
assured that some could not afford even ten pence
The women, IT seems are manly the cause OF this
dissemination to labor, as they ridcule those whom
they find disposed 10 work at reasonable wages, and
will not 20 into the fields themselves, beng under
the impression that il is not the Governors wish that
they should-an inference drawn from the conclud-
ing portion Of Sir Lone. Smith proclamation, which
we insert today The late apprentices have by law
OF the Colony right 10 their planting grounds for
three months from the first Of August and on the
proceeds of the half grown crops from these lands,
they are subslstng. This state OF affairs, how
ever cannotlas long; something must soon be done,
or this splendid Colony will 90 TO rum.
NATIONAL THEArRE.-We are eratifed to observe
that this house Is in the full tide Of success. Last
evening il was again crowded TO overlooking, and the
performances went of in the finest style. The new
meodrama, "The Child Of the Wreck" sa we'll
written piece. The music, which we understand 10
composed by Cooke, of Drury Lane Theatre, 70 far
beyond that usually allotted 20 melodramatc basi-
ness and abounds in snatches Of the most exquisite
melody. To say that il was well executed by the or
chestra would be unnecessary. Such band, and
led as il is by Penson is not to be surpassed in the
Union. Ceeste's acting IS altogether pantomime,
but it's the soul ofthe piece. Every lock- every ees-
ture speaks to the understanding Of the spectator aao
the duIest mind cannst but comprehend. Her de-
scnpon Of the storm the wreck the discovery o. ner
mothers corpse upon the beach, and her burial OF 4
in the sand, one Of the most perfect aeneaeens
ever represented on the stage II must be seen 70 Do
,no,eca,ed. The ,,her character. Of the piece were
well sustained and there is no doubt that IN commune.
