The story of Efie Mcdowell. the
beautiful Philadelphia girl who eloped
with Chinnman some years ago. has
been cold before. Eflie died in San
Francisco the other day dissolute
bag. Her death bed was in Chinese
bagnio of the Highlander order.
Word was sent to her millionaire
father who replied: BURY her among
those with whom she has lived" And
50 they laid her away in the potter's
field where simple mound of earth
will tell the sad story Of her life. Ehie
in her young days attended young
ladies' seminary in Lowell. Mass.
While walking in the streets OF that
city in June 1878, she was accosted BY
Hop Wing, . local laundry man, who
asked her II he could not carry hel
valise She was on her way to the
train which was to take her to Phila'
delphia- She accepted the fellows as
sistane and on their way stopped at q
brother Mongolian's laundry. 1t was
several weeks later when the girl
emerged from the place. Wher
she entered her face beamed with the
angelic sweetness of blossomine
womanhood. When she left the place
to go to San Francisco with Hop Wing
her mind and heart were revealing in
the thoughts of the many vices she had
accumulated while among the heath
ems. They reached San Francisco
where they were married. The girls
parents soon learned of her where
abouts and went to see what they
could do. When they met her she wa.
in q Chinese brothel. Her surround
ings turned their hearts to stone, so t.
speak, and they turned from the heart
rending scene never more to see theil
unfortunate child's face. Efie went
from bad to worse until she died ever
an outcast from the home OF tne
wretch who stole her from the recti
tude's pathway.

The Free Crayon Portrait Swindls and
Its Thousands Of Victims.
Really am Of the opinion that Of all
the numerous devices for swindling con-
fiding people that have been exposed
from time to time that which promises
life size crayon portrait for nothing on
the receipt of q photograph is the most
despicable. A few days ago received
q note from lady Of Washington ask
ING me to go to the "Crayon Portrait
House." in certain building in this city,
and get photograph that had been sent
that concern in response to its advertise
ment in various magazines and period
icals.
A copy of the advertisement was for
warded. l knew at glance that this
was another Of the free-crayon-fifty-
cent-fve-dollar-frame schemes, several
Of which have been broken up in Brook
lyn, Chicago and New York, but !
thought l might recover the photo
graph. The latter was the only portrait
of a dead son, and as such was beyond
price. The seductive advertisement
promises to return the. picture, but this
lady had written repeatedly, inclosing
stamps for its return, and got no reply.
I afterward found that was only part
Of the game.
Under the plea Of getting a crayon
procured information enough from the
crayon portrait concern to justify q call
upon Captain Mclaughlin. of the Ten
derloin precinct. He told me that he
had received two complaints from peo-
pie who had claimed to have been
swindled by this company before he had
been. in charge Of the precinct three
days

When went back three days later
the crayon portrait house was packing
up. The scowling young woman in
