A FRAUD IN pETT1coArs.
The Woman who swindled a Number
of Charitable psopie.

The Baltimore american says that the
residents Of the section bounded by Monu-
neut, Charles, Calvert and Center streets
had better beware Of fraud in the person
Of q woman with q pitlful story and a sweet
face. About two weeks ago a woman,
neatly dressed, rang the door bell Of q house
on Calvert street, near Monument, and
asked for the lady OF the house. That
lady appearing, the stranger. told in
q pathetic way the story how she
had lost her pocketbook, containing re-
turn ticket to Washington, where she re-
eided, and sum Of money. Having no
friends in this city, she asked the lady to
loan her money sufficient to procure her
TRANSPORTATION to Washington, where her
mother was lying dangerously III. The
pleasant address and the doleful look on
the strangers face and the story appealed
to the generous heart OF the lady, and ex-
pressing her sorrow at the loss her visitor
had sustained, kindly gave her n dollar.
For the gift the stranger murmured her
thanks, promising to return IL at au early
date. Several days passed and the lady
failed 10 hear from her, and she gave the
matter no further thought, only waiting the
return OF the money. But the money has
not yet made its appearance nor Is IL likely
II viii. The swindle was discovered In this
wise; The lady who had been so kind to the
stranger, in company with her husband,
made call in the neighborhood OF their
house several evenings after the strangers
visit, and during the course OF conversation
the subject OF the woman 10 distress was
brought up, and the ladies compared notes
and descriptions, and IL was found that an
other one had been duped. The next day
II came out that a number Of families In
that section had been victlmizei by con-
fdence woman aud dead beat The ladies
are anxious to have the lady call again,
when warm reception will be given her.
The woman Is pretty, and the victims had
not the slightest idea she was q swindler.

The "tip" and "vail" question wakes
larger and larger. Who In this country
would have thought, twenty years ago,
after passing night In friends house, OF
giving money to his servants by way OF rec
ogIizing their civilltles2 Who would have
thought, after paying for the usual service
at hotel, Of furnishing additional sums 10

looked for, but much more The walter who
serves you IN restaurant expects a fee.
The boy who brushes you after you are
shaved is displenscd II he fails to get one.
Lads, and men, too, rush up 10 open your
carriage door, and look for gratulty.
There is No end, III Gne, to this form OF beg
gipg. IL is not an American form. II Is
imported from abroad. Workers here look
for liberal pay, aud generally get It. But
1t is usually supposed that those who hire
them will pay them, and not the incidental
stranger. Tue tips and vails' scheme, which
may be broadlyldescribed as a scheme 10
make The public pay twice for the same
thing, is an exotic, and very bad one.

Some Of the colored people of this city
are telling story OF alleged discrimination
against persons OF their race that is sup
posed to illustrate tendency TO dscrlmi-
nate against them In way not observed
under Republican rule. A restaurant on
Fourteenth street, kept by man who has
enjoyed both white and colored patronage,
has become Objectionable, aud one OF the
grounds OF objection is said to have been
the fact that 1t made no discrimination
against colored patrons. Not lOug ago Mr..
Matthews invited the Rev. j. w. Thomp-
son, minister TO liayti; John ii. Smythe,
ex minister TO Liberia, aud Robert Terrell,
son Of Harrison Terrell, one OF Gen. Grants
nurses, to partake OF Refreshments IN the
upper saloon attached TO the house. The
story Is that the proprietor fatly refused to
serve the visitors, and told them that he
could not receive colored guests. The case
has been discussed with considerable indg-
nation among the colored people, who are
disposed TO regard II as sign that the days
Of equal civil rights in the District have
passed away.

DR.. Cresswell Hewett, OF Lincoln .Inu
Fields, has discovered the synthetlcal or
artificial mode Of making qulnine, by which
the price Of that drug will be reduced to
something like Sd. per ounce. The impor-
tance Of this discovery (which was made
two or three weeks ago through the acci-
dental breaking Of a medicine bottle) is
rendered greater by the fact that while
hitherto we have been depending for our
quinine on the cultivation OF the cinchona
tree, from whose bark only about 3 per
cent. Of good quinine can be extracted, 9S
per cent. being valueless, the drug can now
be manufactured without limit by very
simple process from an article which can
always be got in abundance In any part OF
the world.-London Morning Post.
