There are three mock auction houses
on South Tenth street and they all use
the same methods. That at 41St and
run by Golden & Harding, is a good
deal bolder in its operations than the
other two.
The license under which the auction
is carried on at the latter place is in
the name of Maurice Golden. 1t is sus-
pected in the neighborhood that one
Rotherly, who conducts a pawnbroker S
shop at 800 South Tenth street, is the
owner of the business. Rotherly's IL
cense, 1t may be remembered, was re-
voked early last spring for alleged il
legal methods.
AS it takes four men to successfully
run mock auction or ''Shillaber Joint"
as these places are known to the auc-
tioneering fraterity, Messrs. Golden &
Harding have in their employ as cappers
or ''shillabers' two men; one of them
is tall, thin featured young man of
about thirty years of age, dressed in
a light colOred coat and vest,
dark pants and hat. who is sometimes
addressed by his associates as ''Profes-
sor" and sometimes as Mr.. Anderson.
The other is an elderly man of at least
| fifty years of age and weighs about two
| hundred pounds. He is generally at
tired in light-colored suit also

| street that has been raided by the po-
| lice although few weeks ago warrant
was issued for one Colonel" |. S. Toner,
who had been employed mt 4l5t South
| Tenth street, but the doughty colonel
| had saved himself by removing to Gin
| cinnati, where he is now employed.
a few doors north of Golden's estab-
| lishment is another place that floats the
red flag, and where Messrs. William
| Cole and George Abrams take turns in
| singing their song, "A dollar I'm Of
fered, make it two" They are assisted
| in their efforts by one A. h. Orbeton
| and another man about forty years of
| age and named Ellis.
| The license in this place is in the
; name of A. E. ,Orbeton, although the
place, it is said, is owned by S. l.. An
drews, the bankrupt clothing merchant.
There is also fifth person connected

The last one of these places Is at num-
ber 7l2, next to Dewey q Stones ware
house, and is run by one FL. f. McCon-
nell, in whose name the license is
issued. Mcconnell is assisted by
Tom Connors and an old man who an

How the Kitten Beats the Pun.

Boston Transcript Then the mastery
OF herself which a cat shows when, hav-
ing been caught in a position from
which there is no escape she calmly sits
down to face out the threats of dog,
is mavelous thing. Everybody has
seen kitten on "a street doorstep, at
tackled by dog ten times her size, as
apparently self-possessed rs if she were
in her mistress lap. If she turns tail
and runs down the street she is lost; the
dog will have sure advantage of her.
Even as it is, if he could get up courage
enough To seize her on the spot, ne
would be able to make short work OF
her. 1t is a case of life and death; but
the whole air and attitude of the cat
is one OF pure and confident bra
vado. You dare not touch me,
and you know it," is what her
position tells the dog. But she 10 in
tensely on her guard. in spite of her
AR OF perfect content. Her legs, con-
cealed under her fur, are ready for Q
spring; her claws are unsheathed; her
eyes never move for an instant from the
dog; as he bounds widely from side 70
side, barking with comical fury, those
glittering eyes OF hers follow him with
the keenest scrutiny. III he plucks up
his courage to grab her she is ready:
she will sell her life dearly. She is
watching her chance, and she does not
miss it. The dog uries Fabian tactics,
and withdraws few feet settling down
upon his forepaws, growing ferociously
as he does so. Just then the sound of 4
dogs bark in the street attracts his
eyes and ears for IA moment; and when
he looks back the kitten is gone! Ha.
looks the street and starts wildly In
that direction, and reaches high
board fence just as cats tail--a mon-
strous tail for such little CATS van
ishing over the top Of it. He is beaten;
the cat showed not only more courage
than he had, but a great deal more
generalship.

he pays Sl2 he is entitled to the goods?
Capper Ito Stranger)- Here, pay me
Sl2 and take the goods. Don't let that
fellow have them.
Capper N. also urges him to buy.
Cappcr No. = watches his victim closely
for a few moments. while his confeder-
ates are laboring with him, and if they
do not succeed he comes to their assist
ance by this assault:
"What, that Internal old beggar pay
$l2. He couldn't pay $l2 in twelve
months. What do you mean, coming in
here and bidding $l2 when you .havn't
got II cents in your pocket, beating me
out of $40 or $50 in goods?"
If the victim has any money with him
he generally buys the goods, expecting
that the auctioneer will refund it to
him, but when he approaches the auc-
tioneer Tor that purpose he is asked:
why did you pay for the goodsp l
told you not to pay cent. If | refund
the moneyto you, we will both be ar
rested for being connected with mock
auction"
If the victim has not enough to pay
the entire amount Il deposit will he ac-
cepted, and, of course, he will be worked
for as much as can be got out of him.
The goods are held until he pays the
balance.
If, at any time, during the carrying
out of the above described conspiracy, o
sale should be effected and the pur-
chaser should display considerable
amount OF money, these sharks immedi-
atelY lay their snares to obtain still
larger profit. A description will appear
later.
