Many Germans syvin dled.

NEWARK, N. J., May 19.-About five hun- dred Germans, including working girls, in this vicinity, are the victims of what looks like clever foreign government bond swin- de. An agent circulated among them and sold on the installment plan what purported to be premium bonds with lottery at- tachment. Each bond was for $100, bearing five per cent. interest and the possessor was supposed to have a chance for winning from $1 1000 to $500,000. The elaborately engraved "bonds" prove to be certificates issued by Sohreiber, Pollatchek & Son, an obscure firm doing business on the third floor at Nos. 40 and 42 Broadway, New York. Soma of the purchasers have paid the full amount charged for the certifi- cates, but are unable to get satisfaction from the firm.

 WooDsvnLE, N. H., May 19.-A report reaches here this evening that another brutal murder has been committed in Grafton county, early this evening": The facts as near as can be learned are that one w.

He struck him, knocking him down, then kicked him twice in the head and ran away, but was soon over- taken. Dr. Durkee was immediately sum- moned, but Nell Emory did not live over ten minutes. The blood ran from his nose and mouth and he did not speak after Shaw kicked him. Shaw is in custody waiting for Sheriff Perrin of Plymouth. The selectmen have viewed the body and removed it from the stable to his fathers house.

WANTED TO SELL HIS BODY.

Instance Of the Desperation 70 Which q
Landlady Can Drive a Man.
Philadelphia T1mas.l
The occupants of the Coroner's Office re-
ceived q surprise yesterday morning, and
Christian Lambert, who lives at AZ Perkins
street. Gloucester, was the cause. Accom-
panied by his cousin. Mrs Kate Harbner,
Lambert entered the office. Deputy Coroner
Dugan came forward and asked what he
could do for them.
:I want to sell body, said Lambert.
"Where is the body?" asked Mr.. Dugan.
"Here," answered Lambert, opening his
coat and vest and offering himself for inspec-
ton.
'You don't mean to say you wish to sell
your own body?" said Mr.. Dugan, stepping
back.
"Yes, that is what mean," said Lam
bert. ST have been out of work for eight
weeks and owe Mrs. Habner money for
board. II you will give me $75 for nv
body can pay her and you may kiln me-"
This proposition so staggered the Deputy
that it was some minutes before he could
collect himself sufficiently to ask Lambert
if he had any choice in the manner of his
being killed.
ST wouldn't mind being killed BY cleo
tricity or cremsted," was the answer.
By this time it was evident that the man
was fully in earnest and the Deputy Coroner
delivered an impressive lecture on the
enormity of the deed he proposed to commit.
Lambert listened In q dazed manner and
seemed very much disappointed. A collec-
ton was taken up and given to Lambert and
he gave it to Mrs. Harbner, who claimed
that he was in arrears for board.

the most e1travagant style, and 10 decrying
the efforts Of others to get upon the same
social plane with themselves is to confirm
the pessimist's claim that the Republic is on
the verge OF decline and fall that will
give the future Gibbon wider subject than
the Roman Empire.
2 Before the tragedy of her life began with
the German war, Eugene, the Empress Of
France, had introduced rage for rich attire
and luxurious display. She set the fashions
for the world. Her pin money of $40, 900
a month was spent every cent in dresses and
jewels and laces that made the world stare.
When the war with the Prussians-which
she is said to have inspired through ignor-
ance and pious zesl-was going on she is re-
ported to have dressed to suit the sentiments
Of the occasions, when she attended
the councils OF the Ministers. But
for the defeat at Sedan she
was not prepared. The story is told
that when the news came, after an all
night session of the Ministry, it was decided
that she should ride on horseback through
the streets of Paris, and rouse to loyalty the
people. Her costume was 10 be plain black,
with the cross of the Legion of Honor
pinned upon her breast. But the project
had to be abandoned because it was found
that in all her 300 or 400 dresses she had not

MONEY THAT Is WASTED.
When the hardships of the poor are con-
sidered, it is not easy to see how men can
reconcile their consciences to spending
$500, 900 upon a summer cottage. It is told
of Minister Reid that he was q bare-footed
boy in Ohio, but by enterprise and push he
toiled up the steps into high place, and then
by wisely fixing his affections on q girl
worth a million, he now is enabled to put .
veranda upon his summer home at an ex-
pense of $40, 900.
1t is the common thing In novels to decry
wealth and exalt poverty in matters of love.
This fits In with youthful ideals of life. But
the teaching of society impreses upon
the young man that it is just as easy to fall
in love with q girl who has money as with
one who has none of that desirable attach.
ment TO earthly bliss. The lesson of tine So
ciety girl most deeply impressed is that her
game 70 plav In life is to marry money-not
earn it. Of the sorrow. bitterness of heart
and despair of soul behind this code the
world hears but little, but it can see
much in the faces of society's devotees. The
genius of capable general, the diplomacy
of prime minister, the tactics of political
leader are shown by women who waste upon
the follies and trivial details of society the
great gifts they possess, and which might be
30 much more worthily em ployed.

HORSE RACING IN JAPAN,

stunted Animals Carry Fat Owners and
Outsider. Bet ns Much as a Cent.
The Japanese sport cannot stop baseball
owing to the formation of his legs, but when
he includes a pony in his parentheses
he is in his element. At the
race track SO entrance fee, with
$25 added, is an event that draws q
crowd which would make an Amer
lean track managers mouth water, but it
need not. Most of the spectators go in for
a cent or two, and the polished is no
richer when they leave. The fact is, these
races in Toxic are given ut a church
festival.
Few tracks in America or Europe have
the magnificent furnishings that this Kou-
dan track has. Stunted horses, half the
size of El Rio Rey and Hanover, run until
they are ready to drop under the weight Of
their jockeys. The item of weight is
immaterial in Japanese race, as the proper
thing is for the owner of the horse,
no matter of what weight, to take the
mount himself. have seen these ponies
carry 145 and 150 pounds, and sometimes
100, run around q mile track and make
fairly good time at that. But time il not
taken into account The vital point in q
race over here 10 10 beat all the other
horses.
On the race course the Chinese ponies are
looked upon with the most favor, and . race
between II or 10 Of them is full of interest
and novelty. They are vicious little beasts
and have to carry the enormous weights
they do because lightweight jockeys
would not be able to manage them.
When they once get off on fair start they
20 in to win and jockeys ride for all there is
in the race. They raise good deal of noise
and wear their colors in 9 fashion all their
own, and yet when there is an exciting fin-
ish it is any ybody's race until they actually
reach the string.
