THE SOCIETY FOR GENERAL CULrCRI

THE SOCIETY FOR GENERAL CULTURE
When Russell called at the house of
tho Rays again he was quickly made
aware that change had come upon the
daughter Of the millionaire. Nobody
could have failed to perceive that Alice
was of more sober and serious mind
than she had been before The chair
which she had been occupying was sur
rounded by books Of an educational and
torbidding character, and though there
was . suggestion that the young lady
had tired Of each in turn and had thrown
them all upon the floor, still their mere
presence was portentous
81 have been thinking of what you
said to me the other evening"" she be-
gan, land have come to the conclusion
that you did not mean it."
Russell wondered what it WAS and
prepared to violently disclaim it.
"You gave me to understand that
girls had no intellectual needs" she
continued.
''Heaven forgive mel" exclaimed Rus
cell; nothing was further from my
thoughta"
There! have made you confess,

I was very childish and silly? But

were satisfied
''Of course it isn't worth while for mo
to spend much time on this thing ut
first" said Ray. "After you get it go
ing so that we can work deals with it
I'll step in, but the previous develop
ment I'll leave in your hands"
But can't organize a company all
alone" Russell objected; there are
some sort Of laws governing the pro-
cess, suppose"
Sure" replied Ray. you'll need q
lawyer. and. of course. III put up for
his fee. Then all you'll need will be
three or four friends. and few bottles
of champagne. III stand the cham
payne. l won't appear in the company
At the start You and your friends will
unite in signing an application for a
charter"
''But we don't want to give away the
nature of this machine Just yet"
There isn't any need of it. Tell your
friends it's q continuance for making
doughnuts. They won't inquire into it.
They'll be only dummies anyway. After
your company's formed they'll nominal
~ hold share Of stock each, par value
ten dollars, but they won't put up any
money. Just get some men who will be
handy when yOu want to hold meetings
At the start they'll vote to transfer to
you in consideration of the patent, etc.,
half the capital stock. I'll buy the
other half, minus the three shares your
friends hold. You and your friends can
hold meetings without my being present.
I'll tell you what to vote and you can
tell the dummies"
It was on this plan that the Manhat-
tan Electro-Motor Company was organ
lied with capital stock Of one hundred
thousand dol lrs. which Ray said would
be increased soon. Russell had no diff
Guilty in finding three men who would
lend him their names for this purpose.
He was to have an Office in a room which
was already the headquarters Of several
enterprises, and he chose his incorpora-
tors from among the men who had desks
there. Having no interest in the COM
pany, they would always vote right as
matter of accommodation.
The first stockholders meeting was
held in a comfortable beer saloon across
the way. Three of the stockholders
shook dice for the drinks while Russell
outlined the nature of various PROPOSE
tons which were favorably received.
and recorded by the secretary. young
man who had been engaged to do cleri-
cal work, and who held share of stock.
Ray had advised postponing any
active operations till fall. This plan
had not struck Russell favorably for he
wanted to get hold of some money as
quickly as possible.
BORROW some on your Stock" sug-
gested Ray, when the young man vent
ured to hint that hd was in need.
"But it isn't worth any thing yet.
Nobody knows whether this machine
will amount to any thing"
''Just let one or two men know quietly
that I'm behind it," said Ray. LET
them hear that there's going to be big
boom on it, and that it's to be worked

sort; and
"And 80 it was IN Independent dis
covery of your own. That was the
reason why you would not talk with me
except on frivolity. All. we'll; have
discovered it too"
"Miss Ray" said Russell, solemnly,
''you are wholly mistaken. My style of
conversation was due entirely to the
weakness and vacuity of my mind. At
the time, l was under the impression
that If my words could be recorded,
they would make valuable material for
advanced text books ON a variety of
subjects. I now perceive that they were
the chickering's of imbecility. Pray for
give me. and will try to do better. I
would suggest that We discuss the
geometry of dimensions"
isis it nice?" said Alice. with
some hesitancy.
ut is highly interesting. and so large
ly speculative that the mere fact Of my
knowing next to nothing about it will
not interfere with the discussion. You
remember, of course, that in analytical
geometry, equations Of the second
degree involve two Dimensions; of the
third degree, three. We know them as
length. breadth and thickness. Now
then, an equation of the fourth degree
should involve four, hence the ques-
ton naturally arises: What Is the
fourth dimension?"
"I'm sure don't know" said Alice,
81 can't think of any thing but bigness.
That is dimension, isn't it?"
Hardly. in geometrical sense. We
will suppose three axes intersecting
perpendicularly at given point or any
other place which they find convenient
Now. then. in terms of the distance Of
any point from these axes we are able to
express-pardon me il l observe that

''Oh! no." said Alice. ''but couldn't

might inquire who the other girls
are?"
didn't 1 tell you? I've joined a
society for culture. It's all girls but
you. You're in it. We couldn't think of
any other man who knew enough to be-
long to it."
Russell wondered whether there were
any other men who didn't know enough
to keep out of it. He had an instanta-
neous mental picture of himself in the
act Of maintaining an instructive con-
versation with eight or ten girls.
1.-THE society meets here tonight"
continued Alice; 81 thought they would
come early. and it was their delay which
made me wonder whether they would
all appear in party dresses. 1t will be
mean if they do, because the under
standing was that every thing was to be
studious and simple"

wanted him to join, but he told Marion

The room was full Of pretty girls and
chatter in . moment. Russell survived
the embarrassment Of his presentation,
and even began to be considerably
amused by his position. He was sur.
prised to find that there were only seven
girls, including Miss Ray. He had sup
posed that there were fifty when they
first dawned upon his sight
Suddenly, by q common impulse. the
adorable half dozen rushed up to Miss
Ray and said with one voice: Have
you found good name for the society;
we haven't" Then they all turned up
on Russell and exclaimed: ''Of course
you know q real nice name for it, Mr..
Russell"
Before the young man could reply
even supposing that he could have re-
piled at all-Miss Hill picked up one of
the books which Alice had been trying
to read.
"Oh. it's history" said she. "Alice,

said Alice, ''only don't let's take any

"But don't want to lose the stock. y

and pick up your paper at about five
per cent. on the dollar. You pay your
friend a small commission and you'll be

To do Russell justice he was shocked
by this proposition. and he continued to
regard it as a temptation of Satan till
about the middle Of August, when he
got very hard up, and worked the
scheme on a confiding gentleman named
James Remington. That is to say, he
negotiated the loan with the knowl-
edge that probably no other way out Of
the difficulty would present itself ex-
cept that which Ray had suggested. Not
only was his conscience disturbed by
this affair, but he was tormented by the
fear that John Deering would hear Of
it. Deering had kept out OF sight Of
Ray according to agreement, but he had
called frequently on Russell to ask how
things were getting along. The first
time, he had como with a paper for
Russell to sign.
1t was an agreement which put their
relations into the form of a contract,
terminable on the violation of certain
obligations. Among them was pledge
that no stock-jobbing operations should
be carried on in connection with the en-
terprise. Deering had begun to be sus-
picious.
81 wouldn't have this machine Of
mine used to further the designs Of dis
honesty" said he. ''If there's going to
be any crooked work shall have to put
my foot on it."
Russell did his best to reassure Deer
ing. He described his own moral char
acter in terms which made up in COM
prehensiveness what they lacked in
substantiation. Then he cautiously
disclosed the secret of Rays connection
with the enterprise, and said few
words about him which ought to have
been saved for his obituary notice. But
Deering did not seem to be impressed.
81 don't think much of those brokers"
said he, land his connection with this
affair only makes me the more anxious.

Square Last Evening.

dence-Other Oineyville News-sarsheld

Tight-Briefs.

Last evening about 10 o'clock, when all
was still on Olneyville Square, raid was
made by Sergeant HolbrooA, of the john
ston police, and Officers Doane and Moan,
on the gambling den over Penney's fish
market, on Manton avenue. This place
has been running in full blast for some
time, but has never been troubled but
once before, because it has been held up
10 the public as private club, hence be-
yond the jurisdiction of the law.
Sermons, anonymous tracts and illus
tracted articles on this resort have, how
ever, recently drawn considerable atten-
tion toward il, and the police of Johnston
have, for some time been awaiting an OPP
portunity TO come down on il. n writ
was sworn out about a half hour before
any action was taken, no one knowing of
this step but che officers themselves.
They proceeded TO the door leading off
the street and their approach was made
known 10 those up stairs by clicking
sound. The door leading to the den was
tried but found locked, and after some
dallying and ross-examination, they were
admitted by one of the men inside who
possibly held them outside to hide all
evidences of any gambling. They pro
ceeded through all the different apart
ments finding about fifteen in one, four of
NnOln Nclt apparently tlBdStu III a lilchu-
ly game of whist. In second there were
two young men reading the newspaper
everything about the whole place, sus-
tanning the impression they would have
conveyed, that il is private club. Moth
ing could be done, as there was no eyi-
dence against any one, sufficient to make
an arrest A quantity of summer drin Ks
were found, the only thing visible in the
line of liquors. IL is believed that SS1nb-
ling is carried on every evening at this
place, and the officers have used all pos
sible vigilance 10 put down the evil. How
ever considerable comment has been made
on the inactivity of the police in not
endeavorng TO suppress this evil.
The proprietor of the house was not
present, but four others, said to be con
nected with il, We're there. A large safe
stood in one of the rooms. l%stAng as
though it might conceal a good deal Of
evidence but Mr.. Brown was the only one
who knew the combination. He being
elsewhere, il remained untouched. There
is little doubt but that the place is just
at present lying low, owing TO the general
advertising il has received lately. The
most suspicious feature was the loop-hole
in the door, and its being locked on the
inside.
