FRIDAY. FEBRUARY II, 1893.
A BUNCO GATE.

Several of our citizens have received
letters containing propositions to fur
nish SCREEN goods" or counterfeit
money. The prices quoted are $500
( for 5000 counterfeits, S40O for $4,000.
$3.50 for $4,000, s., 900 for $4,000, and
$1,000 for $4,000.
The proposition starts out as fol-
lows: Dear Sir:-I am in possession
Of good thing, and with your conf
Dental and friendly cooperation l
can make you independently rich.
There's no reason why you should
be slave and toll all of your life for
nothing. The opportunity is here for
you to ''switch off, from poverty and
and benefit yourself in substantial
way. Don't be foolish enough to let con-
scientious scruples interfere with your
aim in life Few men ever obtain
riches honestly. Others have grown
rich around you mo one knows how,
why not you? A hint to the wise is
sufficient. A person without
the universal rudder," the almighty
! dollar, is thought but little of, and is
looked upon as of no Importance to
una world.
The writer, who signs himself as
"You Know" then urges the recipi-
ent of the letter to meet him in New
York in person. as he can then see
the goods for himself, and it is the
safest and most satisfactory method.
The caution is then given never to
write letters, but always to telegraph.
A slip is enclosed giving the recipient
a number which he is to sign instead
of his name, as otherwise the tele-
grams would receive no attention.
What purports to be a clipping
from some New York paper is enclosed
giving an account the use of some
stolen treasury plates in the success
full manufacture of counterfeit money.
1t should be needless to say that this
is no clipping at all, but an ingenious
fabrication, and printed on separate
plate on both sides to look as though
cut from a paper 1t contains good
deal that no reporter would put into
a writeup of such case, and is in
j tended to lead the reader to believe
/ that money is really being made from
stolen treasury plates, that people are
getting rich out of it, that few peo-
f, pie are honest enough not to care to
participate in the profits, and, in fact,
is intended to lend creditability to
the typewriter letter which. it accom-
panies.
This is an old bunco game under a
slightly revised disguise. Were man
foolish enough to correspond with the
confidence men back of the scheme he
would be led to visit Newly ork for the
purpose of buying some counterfeit
money and would be given a satchel
of saw dust. These fellows do not
deal in counterfeit money, but are
satisfied with raking in suckers whose
cupidity and dishonesty would lead
them to enter into what they deem a
well prepared scheme to defraud their
fellow man. There is no short cut to
wealth by dishonest practices.

The Situation in 0lneyville is Particu-
larly Distressing.

PROVIDENCE, Dec. 1.-the situation
among the locked-out mill operatives II
particularly distressing, there being great
suffering owing to the fact that families
are without fuel. Some of the clergymen
visited the homes of strikers and the dis
coveries made caused them to call upon
the authorities for assistance to prevent
women and children from freezing. At
some homes they found the families with
out fire, the children having been kept in
bed to keep warm and there was scarcely
food enough to supply meal.
An entire family in Oak street presented
. sad sight, with faces and hands swollen
by dogwood poisoning, sustained by going
Into the swamp to get fagots to burn In the
kitchen stove. They were too poor to Sc
cure a physician. In many cases members
Of families were found sick and without
medical attendance.
The operatives are now getting desper-
ate as to the distribution of the money
donated. The weavers of the Riverside
and Weybossett mills claim that as the
fight depends upon them the funds for
maintaining the struggle should be ap-
piled to maintain the courage of those
whose who must be supported II they are
to stay out. Therefore they favor the
cutting off of all disbursements from
the strike fund to others than the weav-
ers, and urge the suspension of further
drafts from the funds for the benefit Of
the operatives of the Fletcher mills.
This plan will undoubtedly be adopted,
and then the Fletcher mill operatives can
demand assistance from the authorities
on the ground that they are not strikers,
