A BLIND COTTON POOL.
How the Even Bros. of New York
Worked 1t.


Worked 1t.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-President A, c.
Cheney, of the Garfield National Bank.
tells how he forced a big profit out of the
Even Bros. for a customer in one of their
''blnd POOLS" The firm were cotton bro
kers, and had seats in the Cotton Elk
change, until the exposure of their meth
DDS of business compelled flight. Mr..
Cheney's testimony shows up the manner
of the trap, and the ease with which gudg-
cons were caught in it.
"a friend of mine," he said, 'EtoId me
one day that be had right good thing
something that would multiply an invest
ment IN few months-and he was will
ing to let me in. He explained that the
Ewens were working some blind pools in
cotton. He had let them have S., 900 three.
weeks before, and they had ALREADY re-
ported that $4,000 were credited to him in
the account. OF course | knew it was ali
impossible business operation. Operators
IN cotton are quite willing to ship the
staple half round the world on the chance
OF clearing cent pound by the trouble
and risk, and here was a concern reaping
prOhts entirely unknown to the business,
and that, too, for the enrichment of
others.
81 learned that there was craze in a
certain circle of merchants for depOsiting
their money with the Ewens for these sup
positions pools. But my friend wouldn't
believe it was a humbug. l was bound
to save his cash in spite of him, if it could
be done. l induced him to leave his re-
celpt Tor the original investment of s., 900,
and also to let me have the written state
ment of the Ewens that his share of the
profits III that particular pool were $4,000.
Then l went down to their office. l told
them who l was, and that l wished to
draw the whole $4,000 represented by the
papers. They demurred that the opera
ton was not yet complete, and asserted
that the tnaF settlement, in a month
or so, would yield considerable more. l
replied that they might go ahead with
their speculation only in case they paid
me instantly, for otherwise l would ex-
pose them, and there would be an end of
their scheme. They were not quite ready
to shut up shop and flee. They paid me
in full, and my friend cleared the $4,000.
But he wouldn't credit me with doing him
a good turn until, not ten DAYS later, the
explosion came and everybody with
money in the blind pools lost it.
''The aggregate Of money invested for
all time with this firm is known to reach
5000, 600, and the sum total may easily be
twice as much, because most of the vic
tins are not disposed to confess their
fOolishness while there is no prospect of
regainlng anything. The magnitude of the
operations is far greater than was at first
thought. Many of the losers are women.
who were by agents made to believe the
ridiculous stories of sudden wealth
through the Ewens."

THE CROSS-BlLL
It's characteristics and the Beautiful Easter
Legend that Attaches to Him.

The cross bill may be looked for in any cluster
of fine trees in this locality. DR.. w. B. Fletcher
says they are nearly as thick as the pine cones
upon the evergreen trees about the Hospital
for the Insane. They are about the size
of the canary, to which family, with
other sparrows, they belong. The female is of
an olive or yellowish east, the male thickly suf-
fused or spattered with dull-red blood color
The legend of this bird is welf-known through
Longfellow's rhy ming version from the German,
in which the crossing of the ends of
the bill is attributed to it's efforts
to pull the nail from the cross and release the
suffering Savior, while the red color is believed
to be caused by the sacred blood which remained
upon its body as a hereditary and permanent
color, attaching, however, only to the male
Zoolo gically the crossing of the bills is only an
illustration of the adaptation of parts to the mode
of life.
The cross bill lives upon the seeds which it
extracts from the pine cone By put
ting its bill between the close-ftting
scales of the cones and then separating
or crossing" latterly the two halves of the bill.
