AN INGENIOUS sw1NDLE.
How a Slick Philadelphia Rascal Got
New Suit of Clothes.

New Suit of Clothes.
A very ingenious swindle that has not
come TO the knowledge of the police, says
the Philadelphia Times, was recently
worked successfully upon a prominent
Chestnut street druggist and an equally
prominent Chestnut street tailor. The
criminal was young man of intelligent
address, whose somewhat shabby clothes
were brushed clean and his boots polished.
Entering the pharmacy he met the pro-
prietor and informed him that the tailor,
whose name he gave. was suffering with
dyspepsia. and had requested that some
medicine be sent him. The druggist, who
is intimately acquainted with the tailor,
ordered prescription, and while it was
being compounded entered into chat with
the stranger, who eventually paid for the
bottle of medicine, but before taking it
away asked the druggist to have another
vial ready, and said that the tailor would
call for it in day or two
Then the swindler went to the tailor
and ordered suit of clothes, the price of
which was $50. He wanted the garments
made up in a hurry, and they were ready
for him two days afterward He put them
on in the store and left his back number
suit to be sent to a fictitious address. "My
friend" he said to the tailor giving the
name of the druggist), "has some money
of mine, and if you will walk down there
with me will pay your bill"
The tailor and the artful dodger pa
raded down Chestnut street arm in arm.
and reached the pharmacy. 81 perceive
that we are all acquainted" the swindler
said as they shook hands, "Now," he con-
tinued, speaking to the druggist ''give
Mr.. - what l left here for him and ex-
cuse me for a moment" With that he
slipped out of side entrance, and the
druggist handed the tailor wal wrapped
in the customary white paper.
'What do | want with this ?n asked the
sartorial artist.
'sThat," responded the master Of the
pharmacopeia, "is what your friend said
you were to get here"
Not at all" the tailor calculated. II
understood that you had the cold cash for
the clothes that he got from me.n
They stared each other in the face for
thirty seconds, and made simultaneous
break for the door through which the
mutual friend had disappeared. But he
was not in sight, and he has not since
come within their visual range.

A Newspaper Makes Serious Charges
Against Bismarck.

A Newspaper Makes Serious Charges
Against Bismarck.
BERLIN, May 11th.-The Reichstag, be-
ginning It's active labors on Monday has
only six weeks work before adjournment.
which has been fixed for June 10th. Not
much will be heard of measures for the
benefit of workmen before adjournment.
Since the labor protection bill was issued
on Wednesday, scrutiny reveals number
OF riders to the main proposals, tending to
make illusory some of the best provisions
of the measure, giving employers means of
escaping them. Thus, under special cir
cumstances, employers can be authorized
to break the rule limiting the work of
children under ID years to six hours, and
youths under l6 to ten. The bill mentions
spinning factories and similar occupations
where exceptions may be granted.
Another clause transfers direct respon-
slbllity for breaches of the laws from en-
pioyers TO the managers or foremen, thus
opening the way for evasions and making
men OF straw answerable instead of prin-
cipals.
Another labor conference, which will
have influence in molding the final form
of the bill, will be held here. The En-
peror intends to summon delegates from
every trade III Germany to discuss trade
Queshons, and proposes to establish a
special permanent operative council under
the Presidency of the Minister of Com
merce, the members of the council to be
selected from delegates to the conference.
The project is obviously in the same line
as the labor schemes aiming TO give inn
perlal control of workingmen, with pur-
chase power over salaried leaders. Social
lists like Vollmar, Leibknecht and Bebel,
who are impregnable to money considera-
tons, will resent the Emperors offers.
Bismarck, during the week, received
several communications from the Emperor,
couched in friendly terms, but practically
suggesting that his retirement from office
should involve political inactivity. Baron
Huckter and Poschenger stayed two days
at Fredrichsruhe, and left impressed with
the conviction that the ex.Chancellor con-
sidered himself still the most potent in
huence in the empire, believing that the
Emperor will ere long be obliged to recall
him to extricate the Government from the
difficulties into which he will have plunged
1t. He freely expressed his discomfort be-
cause the Emperor, in his speech from the
throne, omitted reference to his dismissal
The Freisin'tige Zeitung is gaining bad
notoriety through its publication of scan
dals in regard to Bismarck. 1t declares
that medical specialist knows that the
ex-Chancellor is suffering from alcoholism,
and not the morphine habit. Bismarck S
friends do not heed the attacks, and even
his enemies are Disguised by them.

Rules tor a Clear skin.

You want. to keep your skin nice all
summer? Well, then, here are some rules
for you:
Don't battle in hard water; soften il

borax.
Don't battle your face while it is very
warm, and never use very cold water for it
Don't wash your face when YOU are
travelling, unless it is with little alcohol
and water or little vaseline.
Don't attempt to remove dust with cold
water; give your face hot bath, using
plenty OF good soap, then give it thor.

lain-gently and delicately.
Don't use sponge or linen rag for your
face, choose instead flannel one.
Don't believe you can get rid of wrinkles
by filling the creyices with powder. In.
stead give your face Russian bath every
night--that is, battle it with water so hot
that you wonder how you can stand it, and
then, a minute after, with cold water thai

ENGLISH POLITICS.
Irish Prisoners Cruelty Treated-TI
Land Purchase Bill.

lrlsn PRISONERS Cruelty Treated-The
Land Purchase Bill.
LONDON, May l1th.-In every way SEN
sational is the Blue Book report issued by
a special committee appointed to inquire
into the cruel treatment of the American
dynamlters confined in the Chatham
prison. The Tory newspapers ignore it of
course, but the Irish party intend to raise
vigorous debate in the Commons upon
it and get the details before the public in
that way. The report admits that the
complaints of the dynamiters being treated
with special severity have been sustained.
although the action of the prison author
tiles IN treating them so is justified by the
committee on the ground that the offense
for which they were sentenced deserved it.
The evidence shows that John DAILY
Egan and DR.. Gallagher have experienced
the utmost brutality at the hands of the
prison wardens. They have been pun
ished severely for trivial breaches of prison
discipline. In the case of DAILY, partic-
ularly after his refusal to perjure himself
at the instigation of Pigott and the Times
solicitor, he was subjected to greater harsh
ness than before.
He was nearly poisoned with doses OF
belladoDna on three occasions, but the
committee has reported that this was
purely the result of an accident. The re-
port says that the men who were convicted
in Scotland should be changed to Scotch
prisons, so that they may receive the visits
OF their friends, to which they are entitled
under the rules, and which the distance
and poverty of their relatives have pre-.
vented them from receiving.
The report, on the whole, shows tina,
confinement in any English prison for an
offense connected with Irish politics in any
way is far worse than az immediate sen.
tence of death.
Opinion is gaining ground that the Gov
eminent has no real desire TO pass the land
purchase bill this session. They mus
choose between it and the licensing bill
AS the publicans are vastly more influ
entail body than the Irish landlords thers
is every likelihood that the interests of thu
latter will be sacrificed. The Government
can reinuoauce the purchase bill next SEES
sion and use ii for stsving OIL the Irish
local government bill. That is thought t.
be their plan at present.

FINANCIAL SCANDAL.
Exposure of the shaky Condition of the
Credit Foncier.


Credit Foncier.
PARIS, May llth.-France is on the eve
of another great financial scandal, beside
which the Compton d'Escompte will be
nothing. It appears that the status ef the
Credit Foncier, owing to the reckless spec
ulations of Christophe and other Directors,
is shaky. The Directors were forced to
render an account to-day, when there was
found to be deficit of 100000. 1t was
with speculaiions in lands at Nice that the
Credit Foncier began to lose money. The
crash there MIXED them of $4,000 co.,
Heavy sums were also lost in speculations
in real estate in the Marbeuf quarter of
Paris, half the houses OF which are still
inlet. The scare has already spread. and
to- day Credit Foncier bonds were sold by
thousands at decreasing rates.
The Judge of the Police Court which IS
sitting on the Compton i'Esconlpie case is
determined 10 deal severely with the four
Directors before him. It's expected by Sc
cretan's friends that he will not get off with
less than eighteen months at hard labor.
Hertsch anticipates similar punishment
The confidence in French fnanciers and
the gullibility of French investors is very
strong.

GERMANY AND RUSSIA.
Russia Shows the White Feather in the
Schmidt Case.

LONDON, May 11th.-Captain Schmidt,
formerly of the Russian service, but hence
forth German pensioner, may thank the
inhe1i5ility of the German ambassador to
Russia that he is not on his way to Siberia
No one doubts that the plans of the Cron-
stadt Notifications which were found in his
possession were intended for the use of the
Berlin War Office, and no member of the
numerous family of Schmidt ever had
narrower escape from a fate worse than
death than the officer in question. The
German Government would not abandon
him, and no more striking proof of the
Cars unwlllngness or unreadiness to go
to war with Germany can be given than
the reluctant release of Schmidt, who was
undoubtedly guilty OF treason of the worst
kind.
