Pittsburg is making violent war on
the discretionary pool" a form of
gambling and swindling, which has
suddenly grown popular in that city.
A number OF concerns have sprung
up there, and it is estimated that they
hold from $3,O00.U0O to $4,000, 900,
representing some $4,000 investors,
The clients are working men, washer
women, domestic servants, farmers
and others, who have been assured Of
getting anywhere from 20 to 100 per
cent profit on their money a month.
Many men have mortgaged their
property to put money into the pools,
The theory of the concern is that
the money is deposited to be invested
by skillful broker at his discretion,
in stocks, bonds, grain or provisions,
Monthly dividends are declared to the
stockholders out of the profits. Sew
eral OF the concerns have been run
ming for sometime, and large divi-
dends have been declared regularly.
1t is said that these are merely to
serve for bait to allure more investors
into the business, and that presently
the concerns will disappear. and most
OF the money invested will go the
same way.

4 charged Mail nom

The constant danger that threatens
the inhabitants OF our cities from the
heavy currents of electricity employed
in electric lighting and trolley cars is
we'll illustrated by an incident that
occurred in Chicago a few days since.
A carrier went to open the mail box
to take out the contents, when, as he
inserted his key in the lock, he re-
ceived such a shock as made him yell
with pain. A policeman came rum
ming up and asked what was the mat
ter. live sprained my wrist" was
the sly answer of the mail carrier.
Won't you unlock the box for me?n
Then the policeman accommodatingly
pushed the key into the hole and fell
back as though kicked by mule.
The two victims laughed aud stood
aside to wait for results. A red-faced
man stepped up with handful OF
opens the box on top. He didn't put
the letters in the box, but dropped
them on the sidewalk and began to
swear at the government for imposing
upon its patrons. A woman with II
bundle under her arm and postal
card in her hand was the next to trille
with the feelings of the mail box, and
she dropped both bundle and postal
card to scream. A crowd soon gath
cred around the mail box and waited
for the chance to laugh. One by one
the victims came up with mail to de-
post, only to jump back and then go
away in search OF q box that was
better behaved. For an hour this
continued, when the current OF cleo
tricity forsook the box, but nobody
has been able to tell where it came
from or whittier it went.

An authority on hypnotism says
that hystericul persons are very diff

welded to their own fancies, mental

obstinate hypnotic patients. Even if
an influence is gained, it passes off
