mails? Look out just now, for the
Elias Brothers, who are the most
talented men in the profession, are
at it again. These men are Israel
ties and what they don't know In the
way of getting a dollar without re-
turning it, isn't worth knowing.
Beside the sawdust swindle, they
have fathered the bogus lottery
schemes, the watch distribution
scheme, the Milton gold schemes,
and the great majority of the swim
dies that have for ten years depleted
the pockets of the credulous. And
now they turn up again with what
they cali "General Average Sale of
$4, ,0OO, 900 worth of goods annually"
They propose to sell you sealed box
which will contain goods varying
from 81, 900 diamonds all the way up
to SIS, 900 camel-hair shawls, for any
price you choose, from $50.
1t is curious, but even this bare
hook will beswallowed by thousands,
as have all the bare hooks these fell
lows have dropped. The Elias
Brothers laugh at their dupes and
laugh at the police. They run a
swindle till it becomes too notorious,
and then they devise another. The
police go for them, but they beat
the courts. They keep in their
employ well-known firm of Grim
inal lawyers, to whom all their
schemes are submitted. Ifthey are
of nature that exposes them to the
law, they are altered and amended,
the point being to keep just within
the law without injuring the swim
die. You see, they have it down to
the finest possible point-in'fact,
they conduct their swindles on buisl-
ness principles.
Please put your readers on their
guard against these fellows. Their
circular they sent out 10000 of
them yesterdays adroitly written,
and would almost deceive the elect.
They show how they can give two
dollars for one, and make money by
doing it.
THE FAST MAILS TO THE WEST.
The Inauguration of the fast mail
trains from New York to the West,
is hailed by the business men of this
city as the most useful reform of this
generation, and greateful peans are
being sung to P. NJ. G. Jewell. A
train leaves this city every morning
at AIS A. NJ, it reaches Cleveland at
at 1880 PM, Toledo 1927, and is in
Chicago the next morning. 1t takes
and leaves mails all along the route.
1t is a glorious and good thing.
The business man of Chicago is only
twenty-four hours from New York;
But the terminal points and the points
along the line are not the only. ones
benefited, At Cleveland, four tons
of matter were left for the roads con-
Meeting there, and at Toledo, the
principal railroad center between
New York and Chicago, thirteen tons
were left. The country between
Cleveland and Indianapolis, and the
country penetrated by the fifteen
lines that center at Toledo, reap the
inealculable advantages of this fast
mail service. Ipredict that it will
be found SO useful that special fast
mail trains will be put upon all the
trunk lines in the country. The ex-
pertinent has proved an unqualified
success.
THE WEATHER
AT last the autumn is here, AID
New York is again endurable. The
days are pleasant and the nights are
delightful. The people are return
ing from the summer resorts, fashion
disports itself on the streets, and the
city is taking on its wonted gay ap-
pearance. And what is better, the
health of the city is improving daily
as it becomes cooler. The babies
don't die so rapidly now, and the
sick poor begin to crawl out to find
life in the bracing air we now have.
New York is delightful now, and will
be more so in a week or two.
