LAST EDITION
A BOGUS ENTERTAINMENT
People swindled in the Name of the Assoc
ciated Charities.

People Swindled in the Name OF the Asso
ciated Charities.
A very cunning swindle has been per
petrated on a number of people IN this
city in the name of the Associated Charl'
ties.
Some weeks ago Louis j. Dewsnip a
young man of this city, living with his
parents at 100 Monroe street. called on
A. d Warner and d. M. Taylor, in re.
gard TO giving an entertainment in the
Institute Hall. in conjunction with the
Associated Charities. He was told that
the association did not wish to come be-
fore the public at this time, He then
proposed to give an entertainment for
the benefit of the Associated Charities.
in which they were to receive one-third
of the proceeds of the sale of tickets.
There was no objection to this. The en-
tertainment was to be Japanese carni.
val, and the tickets which were soon
issued read For the benefit Of the Asso.
ciated Charities, julius Manning direc-
tor. The price of tickets was 80 cents.
The entertainment was to be of a similar
character to the Mother Goose entertain
ment recently given in this city.
A number Of children were engaged to
take part and the Institute Hall was en-
gagged for the entertainment, which was
to be given on next Saturday night Dew
ship engaged the hall about q month
ago and at once began selling tickets. Later
he was informed the terms for the hall,
cash in advance Learning this he said
he should not want the hall, and has not
been near any of those who have it in
charge since.
lie did not cease to sell his tickets,
on which he masqueraded ss director,
under aiictitious name. Anumber of school
children have also been selling tickets
and are probably still doing so. The chill
dren who were engaged to take part in
the entertainment, have trooped into the
Institute Building and library several
times, but neither Dewsnip or anyone
else has been there to direct OF rehearse
them
1t is not known how many tickets he
has sold. but the number probably reaches
200. BE claimed to have sold John
Wanamaker twenty-five and George w.
Childs the same number Holstein Har-
vey. J. d. Sisler, A. D. Warner, Joseph
Bellsh and others purchased from five to
ten tickets zach.
At Dewsnip's residence. it,was stated that
he was oft of town, and nothing was
known of his whereabouts or the enter
tainment.
Dewsnip has been employed by Garrett
and Bucher, the photographers. He
swindled the former out Of over $500 by
collecting bills and appropriating the
money. 60 s.

A PlRATIcAL CRAFT.
The Haytian Minister is Suspicious of
the Vanderbilt Yacht Alva.


The Haytian Minister Is Suspicious of
the Vanderbilt Yacht Alva.
The Haytiau government has become
suspicious of Vanderbilt's steam yacht
Alva, which viii sail this week for the
Bahamas and the Mediterranean, on an
extended cruise, and is afraid she may be
preparing to cruise against the Haytian
government
Stephen Preston. the Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
from Hayti to the United States was in
Philadelphia Yesterday to consult with
Andrew Lexon, Haytian counsel at that
city in reference to the Alva, which has
been undergoing repairs and being painted
by tho Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany preparatory to her sailing.
Minister Preston heard of the activity
with which the preparations for sailing
were going on and went to Philadelphia
to inquire the reason. He was afraid
she might fall into the possession of the
insurgent chief, Hippolyte. 1t has been
stated that the Vanderbilts are tired Of
deep sea yachting and would sell the pa
latial yacht for much less than its cost.
1t is said that detectives have been en-
ployed to watch the Alva AMI several
other steamers and yachts at Chester and
this city.
The Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
panv say this morning that this story is
probably untrue, and that no persons
who looked like detectives have been seen
about their works
Captain Morrison of the Alva laughed
at the story. He said that the Wander
bits were not tired of yachting and he
knew they had no desire or intention Of
selling the Alva. The yacht will proba-
bly, sail on her cruise on Saturday.
