ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.I
CLEARFIELD, November 1.-THE green
goods man has been active here for some
time past, and seems not one whit disheart-
ened by the recent newspaper exposures.
1t is shrewdly suspected, however, that he
is now seeking backwoods victims in the
hope that the exposures have not vet
reached such places. That he has guessed
Alright can be attested to by more than one
victim in this vicinity who probably finds 1t
to his interest to keep quiet since one man
was sent to the Allegheny county pen SIM
ply because he lost $3.50 by going into just
such a scheme with a crook. In every case
the man to whom the letter is sent is a coun-
trvman.
Your correspondent was shown letter Of
invitation and instruction to-day which was
just received from New York. The letter is
marked "Strictly confidential" and holds
out glittering promises to an agent, and the
efficacy of Uncle Sans mail restrictions are
best shown when it is seen that time and
time again the intended victim is cautioned
not to write, but to telegraph. The letter OF
instruction is marvel of ingenuity, well calcu'
lated to catch weak men, and after warning
against the writing of letters at least dozen
times, closes with another dire threat OF what
would happen If letters were written. Another
iDclosure reads as follows:
IF YOU wish to come to see me send the FOL
lowing telegram; 1 shall understand 1t and
shall send full instructions as to how can be
found; but distinctly remember, under no con-
sideratiOn ever send me letter, for won't re-
ceive it:
copy OF TELEGRAM You ARE TO SEND
A r. FotreIl. Llntne-, PiaJt County, ILL.,:
Engage the output; have papers drawn up.
Sign your name and postoffice address.
= shall send you full instructions on receipt
of above telegram, where you can meet NE at
my headquarters. l only receive my kilograms
at this address, but transact business else
where"
Accompanying a II of these minute instruc-
tions is an ostensible clipping from a country
paper, telling the old fake story of how the
United States Government is robbed out of
millions annually, by being obliged to redeem
notes printed on plates stolen from the mint,
and told in such a way that it is no wonder the
unwary dishonest are so often caught. The al
legged newspaper clipping however, was shown
to an OLD typo" who at once detected il as
being bogus The column is cut wide, so as
to show portion of the reading matter in the
other two columns alongside. These the
printer referred to quickly scanned, and ex-
posed al once as being bogus. There were end
lngs and beginnings OF words never used in any
language, the letters having evidently been
thrown together, with no idea that there would
ever be an attempt to decipher them.

Comes Out in Old Age.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.
ALLENTOWN. November IA queer story
comes from Friedensville, few miles south of
lere. David Mohry, aged "a years, has been
suffering with pains IN the head for years,
and lately he took TO his bed and called in
medical relief The hearing of his left ear was
also affected, and he finally lost all use of it.
What was the surprise of the family to find
last week, that cherry stone had been taken
from that organ, as smooth and round as glass.
The old man then remembered that when he
WAS child, his mother used to tell him that he
had stuck a cherry stone in his right ear but
after being troubled with it for some time the
pain ceased, and they thought it had dropped
out.
The strangest thing of it all is that the
gentleman l. positive the stone was in the right
ear, and if so 1t had worked completely through
his head, and come out of his left ear. 1t had
been there for at least 20 years. Mr.. Mohry is
now recovering his hearing, and all pains in
his head have ceased.
