An UNSUCCESSFUL SwINDLE.-A

AN SNStCCESSf I'll ONiNDbE' ~
week or two ago Mr.. Henry Onder-
donk, Principal of ST. James College,
received letter post marked in New
York, and signed L. Z. Brevoort, tel
ling him that he expected to enter bis
son at the College in a few days. He
referred to Bishop Pinkney. Monday
afternoon Mr.. Brevoort made his ap-
pearauce, but unaccompanied by his
son. lie had come through Baltimore
he said, and the boy was very anxious
TO remain there and see the celebration,
and he allowed him to do so, and he
would be up the next night Brevoort
remained at the college all night. lie
asked for his bill TOR the first quarters
tuition, and gave IN payment draft on
the 1st National Bank of Philadelphia,
signed Ginon tS Co. The draft was for
$500, an amount greater than the bill.
Mr.. Ouderdonk told him he would give
him credit for the excess on the next
quarter. The man left on the o'clock
train Tor Hagerstown, saying he was
obliged to be in New York early the
following morning. He however did
not 90 away further than Hagerstown.
Mr.. Onderdonk suspected the man of
being a swindler directly be saw him,
aud as he anticipated, the boy did not
arr;ve-tne check was bogus and there
Was no such man ia New York as Louis
Z. Brevoort His object evidently was
to get the money for the difference be
tween the draft and the bill and why he
did not ask tor it does not appear unless
he saw that he WAS suspected, and was
satisfied he would not succeed. He is
a small man with sandy grey mustache
and not clearly in appearance or dress.

successfully practiced upon Miss Ran

Free Lunches Bca'e1

Coflcc houses after the pattern of
Joshua Nj. Bailey's, Philadelphia, are
being opened in nearly every city, aud
and tie more the better. Liverpool.
England, has eighteen of them. Wen
dell Philips says: Establish Holly
Tree Inn opposite every saloon in your
city, and you will do more to put down
intempcranrc than by other means"
Chicago has one at East AIunroe street.
near Fifth avenue, where roast beef
steak, baked fish, veal outlet, ETC., with
bread and butter and potatoes are each
ore each offered for fifteen cents, coffee
anu lea Tor five cents. Cleveland has
recently opened two; one at 1Ol Seneca
street, where four or five hundred bus
mess men dine every day. Oyster
soup, with bread and butter snd crack
crs, is only ten cents. Boiled eggs with
bread and butter, ten cents, etc. Few
articles cost over five cents. Another
has been opened at II Public Square,
next door to the most fashionable res
taurant and bar in the city. The prop
crty was rented very low by a wealthy
temperance man, and everything of the
best quality is gwen at the lowest pri-
ccs. These coffee houses are patronized
by all classes. America ought TO know
no arlstocracy. Together with the gos-
pei temperance work of DR.. Reynolds,
Francis Murphy and the temperance
women, are making very unpleasant
results for the saloon keepers. 1t is so
much cheaper and better to pay few
cents for lunch than to have that free
and spend three times its cost for beer.
Some new plans must be adopted by
the saloon keepers. For once the
Chritian temperance people have been
wise enough to copy the works of the
children of darkness, and have had
good success. STELLA.

TEMPERANCE TEXT Books IN PUB
Lie SCnooLs.-Thc effort to Introduce
temperance textbooks into the public
schools has been prominent feature
OF the work the past year. The snc-
cessiul effort of the National Temper
ancc Society to introduce them into the
public schools of New York city has
given new impetus and courage to the
work in other portions of the country.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Unions have been most conspicuous
and persevering in quite number of
States. The object and dcsirn is to
place in the hands of the children reli-
able and practical truths which shall
show the effects of alcohol upon the hu-
man system, and give full and reliable
scientific instruction which shall be of
lasting Importance to the welfare of the
children. The Woman's State Christ
ian Temperance Unions of Maine, Mas
sachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, To-
wa, Michigan, Indiana, and other states
together with local unions in other parts
of the country, have taken active steps
to bring this subject before school
boards and teachcos, with more or less
encouragement. We have been called
upon to furnish copies for examination
from all over the land, and we have
responded favorably TO these calls so
far as the funds would allow. Thus far
the gratnitous circulation has been very
much larger than the sales to schools
and school boards. Great good has
been accomplished. Commissioners
and teachers have in many instances
taken their first lessons on the effects of
alcohol from the Lesson Book. Com
mendations OF the work have come from
great number of sources. But a vast
amount of ignorance and prejudice
must be overcome before the efforts will
be of much success in this country
