latest swindle is accomplished by the
means of double fountain pen, one
end filled with good ink and the other
with poor ink that fades away in a
day or two. The sharper's plan is tc
call on farmers, or others: make a
trade so advantageous to them that
they are willing to agree to it, write
the contract with the ink that fades,
then manage SO that the victim signs
with the ink that lasts. Then in a
few days they have the name on a
sheet of blank paper on which any
sort of note can be drawn. People

From time to time the question
"Are cancelled postage stamps of any

extract from letter signed by John

to Mr.. G. B. Trowbridge, of North
Mankato:
"Your kind letter with stamps re-
ceived. Accept my thanks for your
self and son. | send the stamps to an
orphan asylum in Switzerland. The
director writes me that the stamps /
sent him last season, fed and clothed
about II out of the 80 orphnn girls in
the asylum for whole year. So you
see what are worthless here has done
some good"
Mr.. Trowbridge Informs us that the
stamps are sold to collectors and the
money used for the purpose mention
ed. If any person or persons desire
to help on in such cause, even
though it be in foreign lands, Mr.. t.
will be glad to call and receive all the
stamps you have.

A DeputatiOn Pleads in vain for Freer
Importation of Live Cattle.
[By Telegraph to the Evening JournaLl
LONDON, Oct. 25.-Herbert G. Gardner,
NJ. p, president of the board of agricul-
ture stated today in reply to deputa-
tion which visited him, that he declined
to remove the existing restrictions on
the importation of live cattle. as the re-
strictions were important for the protec-
tion of the public and had not decreased
the trade in cattle, or increased the price
of meat
Mr.. Henry Barrow, who was one Of the
deputation, stated that the restrictions
did in his opinion interfere with trade
They greatly hampered the British
leather trade by diminishing the impor
tation Of raw material for the manufac-
ture, and proportionately benefited the
American leather trade, which enjoyed
the advantage of an unlimited supply
of raw material. The American tanning
trade was therefore increasing yearly,
while that of Great Britain was crippled.
When tanners imported hides instead of
buying directly the hides of slaughtered
cattle, the middlemen swallowed she
profits.
President Gardner remained inhexible,
Notwithstanding the argument of Mr.
Barrows, in his resolution not to modify
the restrictions on the importation of
live cattle.

two young white men, were arrested for
assault and battery. They were tried
before Judge Ball in the Municipal Court
and he sentenced them to a term of i'm
prisonment including service on the
stone pile under the Ball tramp law.
Mr. Davis, their counsel had the pris-
0ners taken before Judge Grubb, Of the
Court of General Sessions, upon a writ Of
habeas corpus. The case was argued for
several hours. The city solicitor claimed
that Judge Ball, In his dual capacity as
judge of the municipal court and com
mitting magistrate, had full power to
impose the sentence under the law.
Mr. Davis contended that the sentence
was unlawful, inasmuch as they were
neither vagrants nor tramps and could
not be sentenced to do county work upon
the stone pile
The judge reserved his decision at the
time. but has since asked for reargument
because the city solicitor did not produce
authorities to back up his position. 1t is
probable that the hearing will be on
