ca \FRAUD,
Thousands of Bogus Names
Said to have been Manu-
featured at Minneapolis.
Review of a Conspiracy That
Bigins to Assume Nation
al Importance.

| The country has been startled over the
allegation that the census ofMinneapolis was
largely fraudulent, and intense excitement
has prevailed in that city in consequence.
The history of the unfortunate affair. in
brief, is: Information was fled with certain
st. Paul citizens early in the census enumer-
ating canvass that the Minneapolis citizens
census committee, as managed by Ed A.
Stevens was engaged in a system OF whole
sale ceusus-padding, and to prevent or expose
such proceeding Mr.. Murray and two or
three other st. Paul citizens engaged
Detective Mason to go over to Min
neapolis and trace out the facts as far as
possible. The detective progressed amaz'
ingly we'll He had been in the Flour city
but few days before he secured an engage
ment as clerk for this citizens census en-.
umerating committee. He was employed to
copy names into the government banks
provided for making the returns to the
Washington census bureau. The de-
tective was shrewd and diplomatic. He
succeeded in ingratiating himself into the es-
TEEN and perfect confidence of Manager
Stevens, OF the citizens committee, and, was
given, he now AYERS, hundreds upon hundreds
of ficticious names to insert in the lists, and
he was directed to locate them in vacant
houses. He was given lists OF the applicants
for work at employment agencies, the names
of people to whom aims had been given by
the city, and these also were represented to
live, some in vacant houses and some on va
cant lots where no houses exist at all,
All and all, he listed thousands of mythical
people, The detective furthermore alleges
that a large corps of clerks was engaged in
precisely the same line of work, and the ag-
gregate OF fictitious names enumerated was
enormous. This is the substance of the story
which the detective told to Mr.. Murray, and
also to United States Commissioner Nc
Catferty, and it was upon the strength
of these startling revelations that
the warrants were issued for the
arrest of twelve enumerators, and on which
seven were taken into custody by the federal
otticers-and all without the knowledge of
United States Distsict Attorney Hay. The
coup was planned entirely bv Detective
Mason, and at his advice the descent was
made upon the Minneapolis enumerating
Office in the night time in order that the en-
umerators might be caught in the very act
of falsifying the returns, and also SO that a
big pile OF blanks filled ru o ,tictiti

PATHS.

The paths that lead to Loaf of Bread
: Winds through the Swamp Of Toll,
And the path that leads to Suit of Clothes
Goes through fowerless soil,
And the paths that LEAD to the Loaf of
Bread
And the Suit of Clothes are hard to tread.
And the path that leads to House Of Your
Own
Climbs over the powdered hills,
And the path that leads to Bank Account
! Is swept by tie blast that kills;
But the men who start in the paths to-day
In the Lazy Hills may go astray,
In the Lazy Hills are trees of shade
Byti dreamy Brooks of Sleep
And the rollicking River of Pleasure laughs,
And gambols down the steep;
But when the blasts of the winter come,
The brooks and the river are frozen dumb.
Then woe to those in the Lazy Hills
When the blasts of the winter moan,
Who strayed from the path to Bank Ac-
J. count,
And the path to House Of Their Own;
These paths are hard in the summer heat
But in winter they lead to snug retreat.

The Fur Trade.

It is announced that the take of furs
in the Hudson's Bay territory last winter
is the smallest known for many years.
The company's steamer Erik has just
arrived at Montreal with this bad news.
Upon the other hand, the Boot and Shod
Trade Journal, lately printed some sta
tistics which show the actual quantity OF
furs sold in London since January OF
public auctions alone. They were
astounding even before we learned that
last winters supply from the Hudson's
Bay posts was remarkably small. Three
million opposum skins have been sent
from Australia, and 10000 kangaroo
or wallaby. Half million foxes, gray,
silver, blue and 'tcommon," have ar
rived from various parts, 260, 600 mink,
10000 marten, lynx, musquash, otter
uncounted. Seals are not referred to-,
but no fewer than $500 sea otters have
been sold. It must be recollected also
that London is not the most important
market for fine furs; though it has be-
come the great centre of the trade.
Paris, Leipsic, Vienna, NOW YORK,
Nishni Novgorod, demand enormous
consignments, which so direct. Russia
consumes vast quantity so does China.
In both countries they say that the best
skins OF the sorts most favored there
never reach the western markets. As
regards the "Siberiau" sable, which
really comes from the Kirile Island in
the Pacific, this is, doubtless, true in the
main; for it is o monopoly of the Rus
sian Government, which sends q vessel
every year to collect the produce, and
those which are smuggled through so to
China With such figures before US,
and the means of communication, the
clearance of land, increasing steadily, it
is evident that the worlds supply OF
furs will soon be e1hausted.-London

The Rubber Eraser.

Attention has recently been drawn to
an extract from the proceedings of the
French Academy of Sciences for the year
1852, in which occurs the following pas,
sage relating to the erasivc properties Of
india rubber:

The First Cornp popper Laughed st.

In the winter of 1897 NJ. Francis P.
Knowlton, of Hopkinton, N. a., pur-
chased of Mr.. Amos Kelley a sheet Of
wire netting from his mandatory on the
main road and constructed the first corn
pepper ever made. The various parts
were cut the required shape and then
sewed together with wine. Mr.. Knowl-
ton then made some for Judge Harvey
and Judge Chase, which they sent to
various parts of the United States as Gu
riosities. Thinking that he could see a
field of usefulness for the enewly-contrived
article, Mr.. Knowlton made several and
took them to Concord to q hardware
store, hoping to introduce before the pub
lie useful utensil and to receive a rea-
sonablc remuneration. His production
was scorncd and ridiculed by the
proprietors, and they refused to have
anything to do with it. Unwilling to
be thwartcd in what looked to him to be
reasonable and sensible product, he
proposed leaving them to be sold on
commission, and was told that he could
leave one or two if he would pay storage
on them. From necessity he took them
back to Hopkintoa. The first one he
made was laid away for a curiosity. 1t
has since been given to the Antiquarian
Society and now finds home in that
valuable collection. Soon after Mr..
Knowlton's defeat Mr.. Amos Kelley be-
gan pressing them into the required
shape, and by slow degrees they found
favor before the public. To-day no New
England homestead is without one. No
patent has ever been applied for so fai as
is known.-Concord (N. H.) People and

Human and Artificial Hair.

The bulk of human and artificial hair,
and in fact of hair goods, is imported,
about ninety per cent. in fact. Of the
two, human hair is the most called for.
''Hair-raising" is sort of industry in
Europe. The peasant girls, who are
much in the air, get their heads cropped
once year, and thus furnish portion
of the supply. They are satisfied with a
stipend so small that an American woman
would scorn to touch six times its value.
OF the material imported, France sup
plies half the trade, and England and
Germany divide the rest. The raw
material finds its way here in great guam
titles and is made up on this side of the
water. The business is young yet in this
country.
People speak of black hair, but there
is no such thing. The darkest hair, at
best, is but dark brown, as will be seen
By separate test of each shred. The
darkest hair is common to the Chinese
race. This is used to large extent in
this country in cheap work. The best
blonde hair comes from Sweden.
Medium shades are best secured in
Russia. The best grades of all quality
come from France.
The durability of hair is little under.
stood. If properly preserved, hair will
last forever. An instance recently came
to light through the press of a peculiarly
of hair. A lady had been buried about
year. It was finally determined to re-
move the body. When the remains were
unearthed, the flesh had all decayed; but
the kair had so grown that the coffin was
full. It has been found, however, that
such hair is not durable; it is brittle and
without vitality. Considered from the
standpoint of her head, woman is, to say
the least, peculiar. York Neus.

"cHIP TIE KNOTT

Such was the advice of Elder Swan to the
writer wears ago. Father Swan, at the time
was serving as one Of the missionaries OF the
Connecticut Baptist Convention, had In
vited him and his co-laborer, Elder Smaller,
to spend few days with the church OF which
I was pastor in revival meetings, But the
church were not accustomed to hold such
meetings, especially at the meeting house
and the people did not very largely attend
After a few days these two efi-
cient and beloved missionaries passed
on to other churches; but as they
were about leaving Father. Swan
said that in splitting wood, when he had
specially hard knotty stick to split. II he was
not able at once to cleave it through the
middle, he would chip of or Nslab' on
the sides and then he could generally sue
ceed in splitting it through the center.
"Now," he said, Il would suggest that you
pursue similar course with your people by
holding special revival services In the differ
ent districts and neighborhoods Of your par
ish, and in time you may be successful ID
getting them to cone to special meetings aS
the meeting house"
I followed his advice and found that thoseA
who would not travel two to four miles
attend special meetings at the center wout9
gladly attend their own little neighborhoeq
meetings. The results were better than /
expecteu and when unconverted people
would come TO these district meetings, and
find Christ. they would without urging az
tend the Sabbath services. :.
It is said that in one Of our New Ehgiand
states, where statistics have been taken, less
than one-half the population attend any re-
lirious services except funerals! Doubtless
this is approximately true Of large portion
of New England, certainly as regards any
regular attendance at church,.
