for the purpose of meeting members Of the Executive
Committee to settle the contested awards at the late
Chicago Fair. The annual business meeting will be
held as usual, at Washington, in January, and we
earnestly hope that the report of the Treasurer will
show how the $3.50 COO received from the public since
1882 has been disposed Of. We wish to see how far
the Society has been bed by local officers in the several
cities, and who Of the regular officers have, while pre-
tending philanthropy, managed to be wen paid for
their services. If do not greatly mistake the augu
ries thorough reform will result from the next annual
meeting.

A BROADWAY GIrT-BooK MAN ARRESTED FOR
SwIsDLIsG.-A German, named John Hach yester-
day morning, preferred complaint against Mr.. A.
Ranney, the gift-book man of Broadway, alegngthat
he had substantially swinded him out of 800, by en-
gagng him as his agent in New-Jersey and Pennsylya-
MA TO dispose of books and jewelry at large salary,
and requiring deposit 500 to start upon Instead of
sending him TO New-Jersey and Pennsylvania the ai-
dayit alleges that Ranney induced him to sign con-
tract to 20 to Ohio be not being able to read English
and providing that he should have salary of $50 to be
taken out of the profits he made, &c. When brought
into the Police Cont Ranney told the Magistrate and

cured and the prisoner liberated The Magistrate said
that Ranney has been complained of before, but that he
has always managed to keep himself beyond the reach
of the law.
