Claimants for English Fortune Frauds

LONDON, May 14.-In spite of repeated
warnings sent from time to time by the
United States legation here and by the
press OF America, concerning the fraudu-
lent character of so-called English estate
agents in America, recent developments
show that the warnings have been I'M
needed and the number of dupes is increas-
ing instead of decreasing. During the past
few weeks more letters than ever have
been received from America inquiriug after
imaginary estates of fabulous sums await
ing the writers in the Bank Of England.
This correspondence, as far back as Mr..
LovelPs time, grew to such enormous pro-
portions that all letters of this description
had to be answered by printed circulars.
During Lincolns term of office nearly all
the letters have come from small country
towns, showing the agents find them the
most profitable fields. Texas, Kansas,
Iowa and the far west seem to be specially
productive, although letters are received
from all parts of the United States. OF all
the claims investigated not one has been
found to have any validity whatever.
Claimants should also bear in mind that the
statute of limitations fixes the period
within which unclaimed estates revert to
the crown, and this term is twenty years.
There are no large sums of money awaiting
claimants in the Bank Of England.

The POpe's EncyclicaI.

ROME, May 1.-THE Latin text of the
papal encyclical refutes Socialist theories
tending to abolish private property and up
holds the principles of the church as the
first and main element in the solution of
social questions. ''The true solution the
Pope says, sis to be found in the gospel,
which, rightly studied, would teach enl-
ployers and employed to become united
while fulfilling their respective duties. The
state should intervene to regulate private
property in order to insure public peace
and the moral and material welfare of the
working people,"
The Pope comments on the necessity of
Sunday rest and deals at length with
strikes wages and hours of labor He di-
lates on working mems associations, in
Guiding societies for mutual aid and acct
dent insurance; speaks of sick benefit
funds; of technical education and mixed
syndicates of employers and employees.
The state ought to countenance all such in
situations as are calculated to improve ex-
listing social conditions. He speaks of the
good work such institutions have already
achieved and calls upon Catholics to assist
in their formation, urging that all should
be animated by Christian spirit.

The Stafford Lease Filed.

Perhaps the longest lease on business
property was that made by William Henry
Harrison Spafford to Charles E. Merriam,
of Denver, COL, and the Omeara Bros, of
this city. The lease is for the Spafford lot
on the west side of the State Road, be-
tween Second and Third South streets, the
same having frontage Of fifty feet. The
valuation set on the property was 5000 per
foot front, or $50, 600 and the annual rent at
the rate of 6 per cent, or S1,S00 year
without any revaluation during the entire
term of the lease. The terms of the lease
require Mr.. Spaford to pay for the side
walk and to purchase the building that
may stand on the land at the expiration of
the lease at its appraised value. The
lessess are TO pay all taxes on the buildings
and ground, Mr.. Spafford to get s., 800 a
year net except paying for sidewalk
The lease has created a great deal of
comment for the reason that it extends over
such long period without any re-valua-
ton.

A Short Narrow Guage.

The Phoebe Consolidated Mining Com
pany is having short line of narrow guage
railroad constructed from Phoebe to Jack
rabbit or rather Silver city. The object of
the new road is to haul ore to the shelters
now being erected at Phoebe, from the
famous Day mine, OF which it is said that
there is 81, 900, 600 ore in actual sight. The
little railroad will be of % inch guage and
will be about 10 miles in length with
switches to connect the main line with the
Half Moon and Mendha mines respectively.
from both of which claims tits also intended
to make considerable shipments of ore to
the reduction works. The motive power
on the little road will be one little 6 or 7-ton
low-wheeled locomotive, which will haul
cars, each capable of loading about two
tons Of ore. About miles of the new
grade is already completed and work on it
is being pushed at lively rate.-Utonfon.

The First Public Appearance Creates Great
Interest and Very Good Impression.

is possible that the debate will be repeated
to satisfy the Gladstonians.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE cLAwsoN BENEFIT.


The largo and handsome audience which
came out at the theatre last evening was
decided tribute to the two young gentle
men in whose honor the performance was
given. The benefit was not only a financial
success, but it formed one of the prettiest
entertainments that has been given 10 the
theatre during the season. 1t was full of
variety, including music on mandolins and
guitars, vocal singing, drills, society drama
and club swinging, so that there was
enough to satisfy every taste. The two
Mandolin and Guitar clubs presented the
usual handsome appearance, rendered some
new selections in good style and gained the
usual hearty applause, the Trova
tore selection being especially good.
The mixed quartette was rather
uneven, being very sweet in
some parts and off the key in others. Miss
Pratt was encored and she sang Loves
Old Sweet Song" in very charming taste.
The Apollo club was greeted with ap-
plause, but did its encore better than its
first piece, mainly becausei it was started off
without the key note from the piano. 81
Love my Love" is one of their best selec-
tons. The Schubert selection was sweet,
but somewhat faint. Sid Clawson got a
round as the drum major in the drill, which
was very well executed. Mrs. Evans club
swinging and lightning gun drill was i'm
mensely clever and heavily applauded.
Probably the most charming feature of the
night was the parasol drill by the Amoretta
club of seventeen budding girls, who
looked even lovelier and went through
their part with even greater precision
than on the former occasion. They
received the heartiest applause of the night
and deservedly. The entertainment con-
cluded with the last act of "Young Mrs.
Winthrop" done in the usual artistic style
by Messrs. Wells, Young, Spencer, and
Birdie Cummings and Ivy Clawson. Mr..
Fred Clawson directed the Amoretta drill
from the wings; he is the creator and
director of the newell drill.
Both the Messrs. CIawson desire THE
HERALD to return their sincere thanks to
all who contributed to make the benefit q
success. They leave for Europe Tuesday

Christian Conferences on Secret Iodpes

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE fourth annual
Christian conference on the secret lodge
system Governed here today, delegates
being present from all over the country.
The topic for discussion was Temperance
Orders" the opening paper being read by
Rev. A. Thompson, of Bartlett, Iowa. He
believed secret societies were doing more
than anything else to disrupt the church.
In his experience the temperance lodge had
detracted greatly from the Sunday school.
The topic was discussed at length. In the
afternoon paper was read by Rev. G. D.
Hawley, agent of the National Christian
association on Industrial ORDERS The
laboring classes, he said, should organize
for mutual instruction, benefit and political
action, but the minute they become secret
orders it becomes wrong, from the very
fact that secrecy breeds corruption. Rev.
G. D. Trumbull, of Morning Sun, Iowa, in
a lengthy paper, said every minister ought
to have an opinion on the subject of secret
societies. If they would all come out and
preach against the evil, the results would
be wonderful.
