The great baritone, Las sallc, with q
congenial company of fellow artists,
among whom wcro Dunbar Price,
Mrs. Blackstone nnd ono of tho Do
Reszkos, was one MONDAY in the
summer time taking breakfast ON
the voranda Of the Reservoir hctcl
mt Versailles, when two sad eyed itin.
Grant Italian musicians came along
and began TO play the harp and sing
one Of Valentines songs from
"Faust.n
A sigh Of dismay broke from tho
assembled company, but Lassallc.
who was In good humor with his
breakfast and with the world, said,
"Tencz. III fix themV Pushing
away his coffee he arose, and tender
ing the singer piece of silver, said
my friend, III show you how that
should bo sung. You do not phrase
that song properly" Then he burst
forth with his grand voice and sang
tho song through, 10 tho great de-
light OF all within range.
The poor travelling musician turned
green and began 10 trcmblo with
awe, and finally, when the end came,
touched his hat and muimurcd hum.

All Hindoos believe in witchcraft,
and, in strange contrast 10 tho old

that young and pretty maidons are
the chief actors in such uncanny

FRAUDS THROUGH THE MAILS.
Iomo Of the Many schemes That Ar,
gou.tuntIy uelnp Work.d

Iomo Of the Many schemes That Are
Constantly Dcing Worked.
The frauds attempted by the use
Of tho mails are almost innumcrablc.
They consist Of schemes concocted
10 humbug the unsuspocting public,
and It seems the greater tho fraud
the greater the returns TO the swim.
dlcr. Nearly all Of these schemes
mako use OF advertisements pub.
lishcd in newspapers and of circu.
lars distributed through the mails.
Without these means the public could
not be reached, and for this reason
the law has been enacted prohibiting
thouso Of tho mails for fraudulent
purposes. But IL is 20 DO borne in
mind that unless complaints are made
TO tho postoiiicc department these
frauds are carried ON without any
knowledge Of their existence and no
investigation can DO had.
To give n few instances of these
frauds. A few years ago an adver-
tisement appeared in the papers stat.
lug that for the sum OF one dollar Il
recipe would DO given for the per.
mancnt cure OF stammcring. When
the dollar was sent tho receipt was
returned, which simply read, Keep
your mouth shut" Another in
stance of this kind was where an adj
vertisement rocitcd that for fifty
cents a receipt would DO given Tor
catching all tho fish IN any given
body of water When the fifty cents
was sent receipt would DO returned
telling the victim "to dip all the wa
Ter out and then pick up the fish"
Another form Of fraud Ia porpe-
rated by means of advertisements
80 worded rs TO mislcad the public.
Persons Cngwering them think that
Tor twenty-five cents thoy arc TO
have watch or somo other valuable
article when, in fact, they merely
get some illustrated catalogue. An
extensive fraud has been carried on
by certain persons claiming to DO
commission merchants or produce
dealers who send out their circulars
ana price lists offering prices higher
than the market, when, in fact, they
have no commission house, and prob
ably only desk room in shop or sa-
loon, and the goods shipped to them
are received and sold ut any price
ootainoblc, no return whatever being
made.
Some time since appeared very
glowing advertisement Of book OK.

Nine persons ont of ten would
probably give tho derivation Of blind

fold from the practice Of folding a
cloth round the eyes, as in the gano
OF blindman's buff. The word has,
however, nothing TO do with fold,
but means fclleth or struck blind,
and might be written blindfelled.
In the same way the word buttory Il
easily confuged with tho common

it has no connection, save in tho

Tho strikers at Homestead did one Of
the worst possible things for their cause
when they treated the newspaper re-
rortcr5 roughly, harassod and an.
noyed them in pursuit Of legitimate
business and finally drove some of
them out Of Homestead. Reliable
authorities even declare that while
they were present ut tho scene of tho
trouble tho correspondents co1ld not
tell tho whole truth about tho situation
for fear Of personal violence, IL so this
is shameful. Astatoment that all is fair

CAUTION NECESSARY,

''The immediate course of the mar
ket," says Henry Clews. "is uncertain.
In view Of present low prices and the
confidence with which stocks are held
by big capitalists, there would seem to
be room for en- advance, particularly
rs all the unfavorabIe influences now
visible are either diminishing in in
tensity or have been amply discounted.
As the public are not IN the market,
any real activity or advance would
have to be inaugurated by some of the
big leaders who have not yet manifested
any disposition of this sort. One or
two attempts were made in the indus
trials and few special stocks; but their
success has not yet temated any imi-
tators. Possibly, the fact that there is
an outstanding short interest of some
consequences discourages operations or

Few tears will be shed IN loving re-
membrance of Jacob Groenwald. who,
too brutal aud vicious to live in peace
with his wife, was sent TO jail, where,
moved by one remaining spark Of kind
ness for society and his family, he
saved both the further pain of his ex-
istence by tying rope around his neck
and strangiing himself. The world
gains everything by his act; society
and his family lose nothing. He was u
morose. sullen and quarrelsome crea-
ture, like many other strange and IN
applicable freaks nodded IN the like
ness OF man, and if he had single
redeeming trait 1t never manifested
itself until he WAS found dangling at
the end of a rope in u cell at the jail
yesterday morning. He made a wife
and child miserable in the old country
and blackened the life promise of
another woman and four children in
this country. He Was no good to his
family, TO society, to himself. His
death will not be mourned. Nobody
viii send flowers to his funeral. No
b ..y Will plant forget-me-nots above
MS grave. In his case there is no
chance to point moral, nor is there
an invitation to speak well of the dead.
He died as miserably a. he lived, and
it was fitting finale to career tina,
cursed others with bitterness of soul
and sorrow.
