THE DEATH OF BAUM.
Dallas Cotton Swindlers Sudden De-
mise Causes Relief in High Circles.

Dallas Cotton Swindlers Sudden De-
mise Causes Relief in High Circles.
DALLAS, Tx, June 4.-Last Saturday
the attorneys for T. Baum, the Dallas
cotton swindler, who had been incarcer-
ated for several months at Chatham,
Canada, pending the result Of extradition
proceedings, gave it out in this city that
Baum was dead. At first the news was
believed, but later County Attorney Clint
received two kilograms from Chief Detec-
tive FurlOng, of the Gould system
Secret Service at st. Louis, positively
denying the statement and as
surIng Clint that Baum was alive.
Then the general opinion pre-
vailed that the first report was erroneous,
and as the press dispatches failed to make
any mention Of Baum, the idea that ca
nard bad been circulated was generally
accepted. But to-day all doubt was put
at rest and Baum's death was fully es-
tablished by the receipt of a telegram by
County Attorney Clint from Canada di-
rect, stating that Baum expired suddenly
at p. m. on Saturday last of heart dis
ease. The demise OF this particular one
Of the chief conspirators in the great cot
ton swlndle has rather disconnected mat
ters in connection with the coming trial
at Dallas.
RELIEF IN HIGH CIRCLES.
Certain parties high up ia business and
social circles dreaded his return far more
than those already in the hands of the
law, and had be been eXtradted their
positions would have been extremely
critical, as it is a positive fact the State
would nave allowed him to turn States
evidence and receive a twO-years sentence
on the only case that they would have
tried him on ont of thirty odd AGAINST him
SAVE Us FROM OUR FRIENDS.
Some weeks ago Baum requested to be
allowed to return to Dallas and take what
'friends" in the straits of desperation
most empbatically warned him that it
twas the rashness of suicide for him to
return TO Dallas until he should be COM
PEELED to do so, as the last resort" and he
was forced to remain and fight the legal
proceedings until death took him of.
NO HOPE OF CONVICTION NOW.
There is now little hope Of single con-
victiOn ever being made in the great Texas
cotton swindle, as none but the minor
members of the gang are subject TO
prosecution under positive evidence in
the states possession, and Baum was
possessed of the only weapons that could
/ be used to bring down the chief conspira-
tors that planned, plotted and pronted
with him by the stupendous swindle.
1 The whole prosecution has been, from be-
ginning to end, a gigantic legal farce.
Baum had his life insured for upwards Of
$4,000, and leaves, besides that, clear
money and property for his family esti-
mated 10 be worth at least $50, 900. The
expense Of fighting the law TO keep out of
the penitentiary on these cotton cases
caused him to spend at least $50, 900 TO
I $50 900 actual cash.

From the Nelo York s


Soon after the Canada, the British war
vessel, arrived in the harbOr her COM
mander requested the manager of the
telegraph Office in TOmpkinsYille to send
all dispatches for hlm off to the vessel by
boat as soon as they were received. One
day a message came that the operator
deemed important, and he told mes
senger to run with it to the wharf and
send it off to the Canada. The messenger,
a bright-haired lad Of Enthusiastically Irish
features, put the message into a cigar box
because the day was rainy, and started
off. 1t happened that, as he approached
the wharf, he saw the Canada's steam
launch just putting off. Arriving out OF
breath at the edge OF the wharf heshurled
the cigar box into the launch, which was
then ten or fifteen feet away.
"Dynamite!" shouted one of the British
tars, who had caught sight of the excited
Irish face of the thrOwer.
In an instant the box was in the water,
and several reyOlvers were pointed at the
messenger, who, approaching tue situa-
tion, lodged behind a pile of timber.
When he dared to peek out he screamed to
the boatswain:
There's dispatch in the box. I'm a
messenger"
The launch returned and picked up the
box, and carried the drenched message to
the Canada.

SOMETHING NEW IN TYPE.
The Novel Case Exhibited at the Print
ers' Convention.
From the Eslc York Times.
-. - .s--gr -.-~,Ss,,o- &vv,o,s xuoa re

From the Eslc York Times.
A case of ''self-spacing type was yes
terday placed on exhibition at the con-
vention Of the International Topographic
cal Union, and attracted the attention of
nearly every printer present. The basis on
which the type is constructed is that Of ID
ems plea to a line, and for nonpareil the
smallest spaces are OF such width that
152 of them will exactly fill line. The
width of every character is regulated with
reference to this division as a unit, so
that, for instance, the lower case "a" is
four units wide, the letter sc" three units,
and so on throughout the alphabet. 1t is
evident that 1t would be impossible to
combine characters and spaces Of the type
based on this division that would not
Ill line Of - ems plea either exactly or
with a certain number of exact units too
little, which could be remedied by a space
or two of the required number of units in
width, leaving every line OF a true uni
formity in width. Where nonpareil is
divided into 152 units miniOn is divided
into 1876, BREWER into Is. bourgeois into
100, long primer into 112, small plea into
104, and plea into Sc. All these numbers
have a common divisOr with 1872, and
hence may be set to the same measure.
Aside from the evenness in work gained
by the sell-spacing type, it is asserted
that it can be set up 1873 per cent. quicker
than common type, and as q of the most
common lower case characters are of the
same size they can be substituted for one
another in correcting proofs without
changing a space. There are but eight
widths Of type in the case, whereas in or
binary fonts there are about 1870.
