LAND SHARKS.
Expose OF Enormous Frauds In the Matter
OF Entering Government Lands.
Washington telegram

Over GOO reports have been received by
the Commissioner of the General Land Office
from thirty special agents engaged in the in
vestigation of fraudulent land entries up to
Julyl. In many of these cases supplement-
al reports have been called for covering
points which are not sufficiently specific to
warrant official action About 35J reports
have shown sufficient evidence of fraud to
Justify the Land Office in summarily cancel
ing the entries. The records show without
exception that the fraudulent entries,
whether homestead or presumption, cover
the full area of land allowed by law-name-
", 100 acres The land already restored to
the public domain upon the reports OF these
agents aggregates about $500 acres

and is held by the Governments at
double the minimum price-S25 80

TO the Government already effected
by the secret-service division of the General
Land Office is estimated at sl25, 900, and 1t is
maintained that these figures will be doubled

New York writer in the Washington

faultless evening dress, with huge

another on his finger. Somehow his
appearance was a surprise, not only to
me, but to everybody else. 1t is the
first time he has been out since his law
suit began, and people expected him to
wear old clothes and appear downcast
and poverty-stricken. But he did not.

A YOUNG actor and his wife ordered
dainty breakfast, as a Chicago paper
relates, principally of a omelette
souffle. "And haven't you some flow
ers you can put on the tablet" the
women asked; nothing with pro-
nounced odor, mind, but violets, or
something else that is just fragrant
enough to be refreshing?" The waiter
got bunch of violets from street
florist at the door, and placed them in
a glass on the table, where she shifted
prettily at them while waiting for the
delicate breakfast to be served. Then
entered a second pair of stage folks
old stagers these were. They seemed
to have settled the question before
hand as to what they wished for break
fast, and they ordered without consul
tation or hesitation, "beefsteak and
onions" The tables of the two couples
of breakfasters were nigh together.
The two breakfasts were served so
nearly at once that the dainty pair had
taken only a mouthful or two of the
omelette before the powerful odor of
fried onions assailed their nostrils.
They protested against the nuisance.
The old stagers retorted with SCOTS and
jeers, and began to devour their onions
with that enjoyment which the others
had anticipated as to the omelette. The
waiter proposed removal to the
further end of the room by one party
or the other, but neither would stir.
There was quarrel and a fight. IF
should be called into court as wit
ness" says the narrator, Il should have
to swear that each fighter seemed too
much afraid of the other to whip him,
and that the struggle wouldn't have
passed on the stage for the mildest of
mimic encounters. But the quarrel
will not go before jury. Each man is
giving accounts of how he thrashed his
opponent, and so both are satisfied.
Neither of the breakfasts was eaten. +"

one of three sons of the late William
Tilden, who left an estate of 81, 900, 600.
The boys have run through it all,
though the eldest is only % years of
age. They have now instituted suit
against the executors of the estate TO
ascertain If there is any more money
left, and also to show cause why they
gave minors so much money. One of
the youngsters, while only Is years old,
spent $40, 900 in Europe Beverly has
been living very fast of late and playing
high. He has had more horses than he
could drive and gave innumerable ban

THE WESTERN FROSTS.
An Estimate shat D per cent. of the Corn
Crop IS Cut OF.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1lth
The Farmers Review from very extended
advices will publish in tomorrow's issue the
following comment on the injury to crops by
recent frosts: Frosts of greater or less sever
ity has been experienced Throughout, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin. northern and northeastern
Iowa, northern Illinois and Indiana. and the
entire state of Michigan, causing serious in
jury to late corn. The extent of this injury
it is impossible at this writing TO accurately
determine. In all the territory visited by
frost, some fields were so July matured rs to
receive no damage. In manv parts corn on
high grounds escaped injury, while that on
low ground was severely cut. We think to
estimate injury in the territory named at 20
per cent of the estimated crop, it may exceed
this estimate throughout the same territory.
Other minor crops, such as tobacco. hops, to-
matoes and other tender garden vegetables,
as well as grapes were greatly injured or ut
terly ruined in Kansas, Nebraska, southern
and western Iowa, southern Illinois and In
diana, and all other portions of the corn pro-
ducing country no material injury reported.

Postal Matters.

Postmaster Manley commenced on Mon
day, Sept Sd, together with all other money
order offices in the United States, to issue
and ply postal notes. The notes are issued
on any money order office in the United
States, for fee of three cents, in sums from
one cent to four dollars and ninety nine
cents (s4.99), payable to the bearer, and can
therefore be collected by anyone presenting
them at the Office where they are made pava-
BILE. They are not to take the place of mon
ey orders. A remitter may at his option Sc
lect either the money order or the postal note
as a means of remitting money by mail. but
postal note is sent at the reniitter's risk
while the government is responsible for the
payment of money order to the true payee,
if both remitter and payee comply with the
laws. regulations and instructions of the
Post-office Department. Postal notes are de-
signed a. a convenient way Of sending odd
sums of money by mail, to take the place of
silver change.
In anticipation of the use of the new two
cent postage stamps on October LIST, many
firms and others have ordered government
stamped envelopes of the new design. The
department has adopted a new design for the
two cent stamps. the head of Washington in
profile. from Houdon's bust. The stamps
will he printed in metallic red. The EN-
bossed stamp on the two cent stamped envel
opes will also bear the head of Washington.
A four cent denomination of postage
stamps and stamped envelopes, to cover
double postage under the new rate, will also
be issued. The design is the head of Jackson.
