1t is sometimes wondered why the scoun-
dres who play the bunco game are so sue
/ cessful. Their victims are As a rule, men
from the country who are uuacquainted
| with the numerous ways which are adopted
| in the great cities by sharpers to relieve
| them Of their money. Although they see in
/ the newspapers accounts Of the methods of
the bunco men, it never occurs to them that
| it would be possible that they could be de-
ceived and robbed by any such means.
But when hard headed, practical business
men, who are acquainted with all the ms
and outs of the cities, are victlmized by
| confidence men, one ceases to wonder
that supplemented countrymen are SO often
robbed by them.
For year or more the stockholders of
the Kelley Motor Company have been the
laughing stock Of the country, because it
is believed that they have been swindled by
the astute Kelley. For ten years and more
Kelley has been promising to astonish the
world with a wonderful motor that would
do the work which steam now does,
but much more satisfactorily and at small
fraction of the cost of steam. He has been
living like a prince. but he has furnished no
motor. The stockholders in his company
know no more of his alleged wonderful
secret than they did when he first announced
that he had disc 1vered something that would
cause a revolution in the industrial world
The conviction now is that he has no secret,
and that he has successfully duped hundreds
Of people in all parts Of the country who
hoped to make fortunes by the investment
of few dollars
The latest fraud, however, and one that
is amusing Wall street great deal, is the
alleged electric process for refining sugar
A man named Friend professed to have
secret by which he could make
refined out of raw sugar at a cost
Of only 50 cents a ton. He formed
a company having capital of 100000,
and hired building IN which to refine
sugar by means of his method. lie found
some well-knoWn business men in New York
who were anxious to be the officers of his
company, ard whose business regulations
for honesty made it possible to sell the
stock of the company at four times its par
value
Friend, by which he int ded to do all the
sugar refining business OF the country, and
no one Of those who purchased the stock Of
the company was permitted to investigate
the alleged electric sugar refining process.
So eager were the people, not Only in New
York, but also in Birmingham, England, to
get some of the stock that they paid an i'm
mense premium for it. They wish now
that they had net been such quick buyers.
They have discovered that they have been
cleverly swindled, and that they have not
shown themselves much brighter than the
unsuspecting rust cs whose guilelessness
makes it possible for TIE bunco men to get
their pocketbooks with ut any serious effort.
The electric sugar swindle, an account of
which has been published in the MORNING
News, is now the talk of Wall street, and
and pr omotors who are to be found there
are wondering whether their judgment and
experience are not sufficient to protect
them against their credulity aud greed.

Kings Daughters in Brooklyn.


The Kings Daughters are multiplying rapidly
in BROOKLYN and hundre Is of women wear the
little Maltese cross which is the emblem of the
order So far the membership is confined to the
orthodox societies and con Zregatlons. Inc
larger numbers are said to be in the Methodist
denomination, and there are none in the Uni
tartan societies. The majority OF women who
are Kings Daughters are also members OF the
temperance societies, and the white riooon
hangs beside the silver cross. The work which
the Kings Daughters are pledged to perform is
covered in the Unitarian societies by the League
to which almost every Unitarian woman be
longs In some OF the churches in Brooklyn the
greater part of the female members are units of
a Ten and are engaged in some humanitarian
work The practical character of the work Of
the Kings Daughters commends itself to all
classes Of women and it is an organization des-
tined to double its present membership of $4,000

Mrs. Cleveland Makes an Innovation

From the NeW YorI: Times
Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied by the Misses
Hastings, spent the afternoon in making the
round of cabinet calls. This innovation was il
accordance with Mrs. Cleveland's intention ex
pressed early in the season, to set aside the es
tablished order OF things and permit herself to
enjoy the pleasure of social Intercourse with
herWaShington friends from which she has been
in great measure debarred during the past
two seasons. Mrs Cleveland has already &C
copied invitations to a number of quiet dinner
parties given by members of the cabinet, to
which the President has accompanied her She
has also attended several luncheons, the nota-
bic exceptions outside of the cabinet being
those given in her honor by the wife of Marshal
Wilson and Mrs MacAlister, Laughlon. This
afternoon marked the first time since her resi-
dence in the white house that she has made the
round OF cabinet calls, and the innovation was
the subject of much pleasureable excitement in
the social world. The gown worn by Mrs
Cleveland was of stone-blue Henrietta cloth
with trimmings of the same shade in striped
moires A short imported jacket of fawn color
was beaded in clusters with short amber pend
ants. The hat was a soft fawn color Gains
borough, trimmed with a large bow Of ribbon
and shaded ostrich tips.

clearly demands that he shall The republican
administration will be out of joint if he is not
entered upon at Chicago, and even before, must

author OF that policy? Who but Blaine turned
the steps of the Republican party therein? And

rearance They are all the time making
their appearance, but this particular one,
having failed to read Tennyson's celebrated
poem, did not hide his identity, when he re-
turned from California to Montreal. after
eighteen years absence, to find his wife
married to another man. He wanted his
wife to live with him again, but she de-
clined, and now the matter will go before
the courts. People who go away from their
homes, and remain away eighteen or twenty
years, should by all means creep TO the

The electric sugar refining swindle is not
the only one which has caused people in
this country to drop cash within the last
fifteen or twenty years. A scheme for
burning water was started some years ago
and one for making new and valuable
metal out Of iron Stag was announced.
Each one took money out of the pockets Of
people who are quick to invest in new and
untried things, and the schemers walked Off
with their pockets full Perhaps if people
we're not anxious to become wealthy at a
leap, they would not be taken in by these
schemes.

Colored Catholics.

The colored Catholic congress which was
in session in Washington, ID. c., last week
was specially noted for the harmony Of its
proceedings and the earnestness with which
it grappled with the work it had in hand.
1t wasn't disturbed to any extent by the
race problem. Indeed, it doesn't appear
to have given it much attention. The chief
| question to which it gave consideration was
| this: How can churches, pastors and schools
for the benefit Of colored people be
supported In the localities where the
great bulk of the colored population
is the Catholic church is poor, and cannot
contribute much toward supporting
churches and schools for the colored people.
The white Catholics have about as much as
they can do to meet the responsibilities now
resting upon them. The colored reople are
not able to do much for themselves. They
are poor and illiterate, and it will be long
time before their material condition is such
that they will be able to meet any consider
able demand upon them for religious pur-
poses,
Tho reports submitted at the Catholic
congress, however, show that the wors Of
the Catholic church among the colored peo-
pie is progressing quite satisfactorily, and
thGt a strong hone Is entertained chat the
colored Catholics will steadily increase in
number. OF course progress must be slow
as long as the means are wanting TO organ.
ize Catholic congregations and provid,
them with church and school houses. In
time, doubtless the colored Catholics will
| have priests of their own race, and whel
| they do, in all probability the Increase of
colored membership in the Catholic church
will be much more rapid than at present.

not very astonishing Republican organs
generally abuse Mr.. Bayard on the slightest

RECENT INVENTION FOR examining rocks. to
determine the existence of metallic ores, has
one pole of battery connected with one termi-
nal of telephone receiver, by means of a wire
in the usual way, the remaining pole of the bat
terry being connected by a conductor provided
with suitable handle, while the other terminal
OF the telephone RECEIVERS connected by a con-
ductor with similar brush having like
handle. In examining rocks in place. the two
brushes forming the terminals of the conductors
connected with the telephone and battery are
drawn along the face Of the rock, while the tele-
phone is held to the ear OF the operator. II the
rocks contain metals they conduct the currents,
and the movement of the brushes along the
rough face Of the rock causes variations there
IN, which are audible through the telephone,
there being no sounds produced when the rock
contains no minerals. In examining detached
portions OF rocks the latter are placed upon a
conducting plate connected with the telephone
through the battery, and tne brush at the other
terminal is touched to the rock, which. II IL con.
tains metal or metallic ores, will cause sounds
