The Massillon American relates 8
new confidence game which was play.
ell in that city a short time ago. The
story briefly told is that Gen. f. s.
Meyer, Assistant U. S. Dist. Attorney,
being on his way from Canton to
Cleveland, met at the depot i'm Massil-
lon three "slick Ones" named Stafford,
Frost and Williams, who were engaged
i'm warm dispute about the definition
nf the word transpire," Stafford con-
tending it meant " to sweat" the Gen
cral insisted it did not. Stafford eX-
hibited large roll of bills, and offered
to bet from 81 to 500 that he was right.
Meyer took the bet, and drew forth
Sl5 to back his opinion, the bet to be
decided by Webster's Unabridged
The other parties "chipped in" and
the stakes were made $40, Meyer talk
ing $15, Williams, 81, and Stafford,
$50. The terms of the bet were reduc-
ed to writing by Meyer, as follows: !:
'Transpire means to sweat. l bet it
don't" The paper was given to Staf-
ford, who handed il and the money to
another party, with the remark, "If
he wins, give the money to him; if 1
win, give it to me-" There being no
at the depot, the parties re-
paired to the fremont House, where
they consulted their authority, and
found that the word does substantially
mean to sweat, and Stafford, claiming
lie had won, took the stakes. amount
ing in all to $40. The General subse-
quently had Stafford arrested for rob-
berry, and Frost as an accessory, he
on the trial that Stafford vio-
lently snatched the money from his
Meyer's) hand, while Stafford, Frost
and Williams testified to the making
of the bet, and that StaffoId picked up
the stakes from the table. The Mayor
required Stafford and Frost to give bail
in the sum of $500 each, and in default
they were sent to the Canton cooler.
That is rather an expensive way to
obtain information.

CORRESPONDENCE.

In accordance with previous an.
nouncement, Miss Eva l.. Pinney, OF
South Newbury, delivered a lecture
at the Disciple Church on Saturday
evening, on 'Woman's Work and Re.
sponsibiities.' The leading feature
of the lecture was the claim to the use
of the ballot by woman. An hour or
more was occupied in the delivery of
the lecture, during which time the en- :
tire attention of the audience was abb
sorbed in tho theme presented by the
speaker, whose ease and grace of man.
ner before them could scarce be excel i.
led by many veteran lecturers. now in
the field. Though young, being but
about twenty years of age, and with
out scholarly training, save in ordin-
airy common schools; her whole lee.
ture exhibited a chasie eness and purity
OF language ana diction, a depth Of re-
search aud an application of princi.
pie, perfectly adapted to the argu
ments presented, all of which were so
skilfufly arranged and enforced as al
most to carry conviction of their truth
to the minds Of a majority of her hear
ers.
The field entered upon by the fair
lecturess, is comparatively new one,
and perhaps unpopular, and at present,
not calculated to enlist the sympathies
OF either sex, but with such earnest
and persuasive appeals for simple jus
lice to the hitherto enslaved sex, to-
gether with the stern and imperative
demand for the ballot as u right, it
will not be long before the voices of
the now disfranchised millions OF our
citizens will be heard exerting pow.

State and nation.
The lecture was repeated in Citi-

evening following, the closest attem-
tion being paid throughout, and elicit
