Some ~ the Many schemes That Arc
CONSTANT, t;eias Worked
The frauds atscmptci by the use
Of the mails are almost innumcrahlc.
They consist of schemes concoctel
TO humbug the rn~nspec;ing public.
IND Ii seems the greater the fraud
the greater the returns 70 the swim
ller. Nearly an Of these schemes
make use ~ advertisements pub
hshsl in newspapers and ~ cirvu
lars distributed through the mails.
without these means the public could
not hc rachcl, ind for this reason
tic law has been enacted prohibiting
the ms Of the mails for fraudulent
purposes. But il il 10 be borne in
mind that unless complaints are made
10 tire p~ostoiice department these
frauds are carried on without any
knowledge " their existence and no
investigation en- he had.
To give a few instances Of these
frauds. a few years ago an advcr
tiscncnt appeared in the papers stat
ing that for the sum Of one dollar a
recipe would be given for the per
mancnt cure Of stammcring. When
the dollar was sent the receipt was
returned. which simply read, Keep
your mouth shut" Another in
stance Of this kind was where an nd
vcrtisement rcited that for fifty
cents a receipt would be given for
oatching all the fish in any given
body Of water. When the fifty cents
was sent a receipt would lie returned
telling the victim TO dip all the wa
ter out and then pick up the fish"
Another form Of fraud is perpe-
trated by means Of advertisements
so woried as 70 mislead the public.
Persons answering them think that
for twenty five cents they are TO
have a watch OF some other valuable
article when. in fact. they merely
get some illustrated catalogue. An
extensive fraud has been carried on
by certain persons claiming to he
commission merchants or produce
dealers who send out their circulars
and 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 50
loon. and the goods shipped to them
are received and sold az any price
obtainable. norrturn whatever being
made.
Some time since appeared a very

the five dollars q very cheap edition

Great frauds have been carried on
by the proposed publication Of hand

THE MANLY SPORTS.

Coursing is on the boom in California.
The Y. NJ. c. A. will probably have its field
day some time next month.
Notwithstanding the rainy weather, large
catches OF trout are reported in the vicinity of
Seattle.
The Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium continues to grow
in popularity and the attendance is steadily in
creasing.
Live pigeons are in demand in Seattle. The
managers of the coming tournament want ! $50
OF them for trap shooting.
Ayrault, who played in the doubles on satur-
day for Washington college, is considered about
the best tennis player on the Sound.
The movement to organize boat club in
Seattle to join the North Pacific Association OF
Amateur Oarsmen seems to have fallen through.
Frank Atkins, who carried off the laurels in
the college field sports Saturday, wears a medal
as the best ali around athlete OF the y. NJ G. A.
E. Coke Hill, who acted as starter in the col
lege field sports on Saturday, holds the cham
pionship OF the University of California for
long distance running.
The shooting tournament to be held in Seattle
June 16. II ana is promises to be the greatest
event OF its kind ever held in the Pacific North
west. All the crack shots of this section will
be here to contest.
Fitzmaurice, the youngster from Washin gton
college who carried Off first prize in the 100.
yards dash on college field day, never ran in a
race before. Even his friends did not know that
he would run until the day before the event.
novel attachment to a bicycle has been in
vented by 7. E. McKenna, of Newark, n. J.
which enables father or big brother to take a
boy with him on his spins. 1t consists of a
saddle, chains and peddles. which can easily be
fastened in front OF the main rider on any dla'
mond-framed machine, and which not only sl-
lows the small boy to ride. but lets him do his
share toward propelling the bicycle.

wELL-MATCHED TEAMS.

None of tho Pacific Northwest Clubs
Have n Sure Thing on the Pennant.
The result of the past weeks play of the
Pacific Northwest clubs has given strong
evidence of the fact that all four are we'll
matched. The Portland club. which was
badly beaten in its series both with Spo-
kane and Tacoma, takes three straight
games from the Seattle team, which has
broken even with Spokane and won six
out of seven from Tacoma. After losing
three straight 20 Seattle, Tacoma has
broken even with the strong Spokane club
on the latter's own grounds.
Spokane now leads the race by very
/. slender margin, due TO the fact that it has
played one more game than Seattle.
Should the postponed game of yesterday
at Portland be played off Seattle can, by
winning again pull into tie for the lead.
Two of the defeats of Poweil's team at
: Portland do not seem due to poor playing,
but to the fact that John S. Barnes men
have begun tn play ball in earnest. Willie
Mains. tn whose credit belong the two
hard-fought victories, pitched spiendidly
in both, and seems TO have recovered his
old-time form. At Spokane the home
team and Tacoma made an even thing of
it, each deserving the two games it won.
Below is given table showing the COM
parative effectiveness of the clubs against
each other:
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-05-16

whence Secretary Roche derives his authority to
change the playing rules of the game, even
though they conflict The Pacific Northwest
League is now member Of the national agree
ment and must abide by the playing rules
adopted by that body. Mr. Roche has DOUBT
less acted for the benefit of the clubs in his
league, but his order has not the color of author
ity.
Referring to the origin of such troubles
as these, the fault apparently lies with the
committee on rules. 1t would seem that
while bent on framing some new rules to
prohibit tricky play they have failed to
make careful comparison of the wording
OF the different rules and allowed serious
errors to creep in. There are certainly
more than one or two conflicts in rules
which touch upon the same points and
careful examination of them and conse-
quent correction ought to have been made
before the season commenced.
The deduction drawn IRON this state
of affairs is that the high and
mighty leaders Of the all-powerful Ma
tional League, In contemplating their own
greatness, have neglected to get down to
details, and consequently have failed to do
properly what should have had their best
attention. This conclusion only strength
ems the general impression as to their
culpable lack of duty in failing to make
public the abolition of the reserve rule as
applying to minor leagues, after the much
Wanted peace meeting at indianapolis. at
which they claim to have reached this
decision

colors, every boy a little enthusiastic,
proud patriot, conscious If his own i'm
portance, the column filling the streets for
miles and miles, one cannot but be i'm
pressed with the unique, almost solemn
beauty OF the scene. To the school BOYS
their participation in the exercises of the
day Is baptism in patriotism which
makes lasting impression upon their
youthful hearts. 1t brushes away all dis
functions of class, social rank or wealth.
and unltes their hearts in the noble, ele-
waiting passion of love of country and ap-
peals to their budding sense of dutnul
patriotism in manner that they can I'M
derstand.
In recent years the celebration of the
18th of May has become quite general
among the Norwegian citizens of the
United States. In most cities and settle
ments where Norwegians are found in
numbers, Mother Norway's" day of honor
is iittlngIy observed. There is not, how
ever, any trace of clannishness in a 18th of
May celebration on American soil. In OBJ
serving the holiday of Norway a Morse
American only pays tribute to the same
principles that are embodied in the organic
laws of his adopted land and state. The
near kinship of Morse and American
liberty Is always emphasized on these
occasions. AS matter OF fact, an OBJ
servance by Norse-Americans is
Fourth OF July without firecrackers.
The transformation of Norway's polti-
cal status was so unexpected and sudden
that the ''work of Eidsvold" appeared to
the contemporaneous generation in the
halo OF miracle wrought by special
intervention Of providence. And the
lapse of eighty years has detracted no.
thing from its glamour. 1t still stands
forth as ony of the sublime inspirations of
the century. Armed only with her self
given charter of liberty, Norway leaped, a
Pallas Athene among the nations of Eu-
rope, into the arena of independent states,
and by her courage and determination
Won Europe's recognition of her rights.
Napoleon's defeat at Leipsic left his aliv,
Denmark Norway (then united) at the
mercy of the victors. 1t was decreed by
the powers that Norway should be given to
Sweden, and the Danish king was forced
to sign treaty to that effect. The Nor
wegians rose to man against this outrage
on their rights. Although the national
finances were in the greatest disorder, the
currency debased, the country suffering
from a recent famine, and the means of
defense shattered and destroyed, the peo-
pie, inspired by an almost supernatural
heroism, determined to defy the dlctum of
Europe. A constituent assembly was con-
voked, and in an incredibly short time
constitution was framed and promulgated.
When their work was completed the
members of the assembly. many OF whom
were plain farmers, formed ''circle of
brotherhood" in front of their humble
hall of liberty, invoked the blessings of the
