A sPECULAT0Rss SCHEME.


How Colonel De Frece Made Stanley's Lee
ture Pay Him Big Money.
New York Press.j
Colonel De Frece tells how he managed to
make his stage at the Stanley lecture pay
him about 81, 900. 1t is trick worth know
irg, although do not think he intended
that the public should be taken into his con-
fdence in relation to it. The Colonel went
down to Mayor Grants Office and got list
OF the prominent citizens who had been
named on the Worlds Fair Committee, as
representative New Workers, when we were
trying to secure the location OF the Fair in
this city. With this list as basis he sent
out 400 polite notes about as follows:
MY DEAR SIR-You have been selected to
serve as n member OF the Committee on Re-
ception at the Metropolitan Opera House on
the occasion of Henry NJ. Stanleys first lecture
in Americ.. Kindly notify me at on ce of your
acceptance.
There were very few replies that were not
in the nature of an acceptance. Every man
who got such a note as that felt fiattered by
the distinction and sent in his acceptance at
once. Thereupon second note was sent to
him requesting him to send check for $40
for his stage seat. Having accepted the
honor he couldn'tvery we'll refuse to pay for
it, even though he knew and felt he had
been tricked. Yet am told that some gen.
tlemen, upon the receipt of the second letter,
had the good sense to write and decline
either tc serve on the reception commit
tee" or to send $40 to Colonel De Frece.
