Spring Upon the Unwary.

Spring Upon the Unwary.
There are persons In New York, as well
as in every other large city, who arc contin.
ually devising methods to dofraud the
unwary. They are known by no regular
name, being described as 'fakirs, ""beats, I"
crooks, etc., but none of these terms
implies their true character.
They live by their wits" and some OF
them In good style and manage to keep
out OF Jail. Here is specimen scheme
which is being operated at present, and
with pronounced success, as many victims
can prove:
The proprietor of an east side sporting
resort was standing outside of his saloon
the other evening when a well dressed
young man approached him, and after
telling him tale about wanting to get
out of town Immediately and there being
no pawnshops opened offered to sell him
his handsome gold watch for the moderate
sum OF $35, remarking that the timepiece
would pawn for that amount. The sa-
loon keeper took the watch and examined
1t, and the young man suggested that he
go to jewelers. store and have it tested
and asked If there was one in the neigh
borhooG There happened to be several
near by, and to one of them the couple al
once repaired. After entering the store
the young man took the watch and hand
ed 1T to the jeweler, who tested 1t and val
ued 1t at $75.
They then left the store, and after some
argument the saloon keeper purchased tho
timepiece for $50 and thought he had
bargain. Before two weeks had passed,
however, he discovered he had been clev-
erly swindled, and that the watch he had
bought was gold plated and only worth
about 81.
The young man had adroitly changed
bad chronometer for the good one while
they were bargaining.
On the west side lives q man who IL
quite wealthy and extremely avarioious
He is SO miserly that his neighbors detest
him, and several of them interviewed a
''schemer" recently in regard TO putting
up job so as to make him lose some
money. The schemer made himself fully
acquainted with the character of the man
TO be duped and said he thought he could
fix him.
A short time afterward the greedy man
found a pocketbook on the street. 1t con-
tained some small change and a pawn
ticket for a peir of diamond earrings which
had been pledged but few days before
for $500.
He at once hastened to the pawnbroker
and requested to see the goods, but was
told that nothing would he shown him
unless he brought the one who pawned
the earrings, but he could redeem them If
he wanted to. 1t is hardly necessary to
state the pawnbroker was in the scheme
Our avaricious friend, after, no doubt, rca-
soning that pawnbrokers don't throw
money away, and that he would surely be
a winner by the transaction, determined to
redeem the jewelry, which proved to be
worth $75.--New York Herald.

the war of 1912, 73i men were killed in sea
fights in which the regular Government
cruisers were engaged. But this does not in
ciude the number lost by shipwreck, the
sloop-of-war Wasp foundering at sea with all
hands (ls3) on board. Neither doessthis in
clude the loss in American priveteers, which
was nearly equal To that sustained by the
navy. The number OF killed in land battles
was about 450 so that the total loss in the war
OF 1872 Is about 1000 men. In the war with
Algiers. 1915. Mexico ls46-lsis, and in the
minor conflicts between 1915 and 1860 about
lOOo men were killed in battle.
But the greatest losses, of course. were in
the civil war, where brother was arrayed

100000 men of the North effectively partici-
pated In suppressing the rebellion. or these,
$1,000 were killed in battle and 5000 died of
wounds in ho pitfalls, while $4,000 died from
diseases contracted in the army. or the
ieo,OoO colored men enlisted, 29,2oS died
from disease. No accurate estimate of
the losses sustained by the South
erners has been made, but it is
probable that they were fully equal to those
sustained by the Northerners. bringing the
total to about 600,0OO Adding to this number

CHANCE FOR A NOVELIST.

The settlement of the famous Suther-
land will case, which THE News an
nounced yesterday, ends SO far as the
courts are concerned "A scandal that the
present Duke is anxious should be for
gotten. The Dowager Duchess re-
ceived $1,000, 900 down and an annuity
of 'ss5, 900 to be paid so long as she lives.
This is the substance of what the
cable reported, but behind it was
a romance in which the Old and the
New Worlds are interested, and the
settlement yesterday is the result of a
marriage contracted in Florida on
March A, 1899.
The Dowager Duchess of Sutherland
is the daughter of the Rev. Richard
Mitchell, professor of history at Hertford
College, Oxford. AT an early age Miss
Mitchell married Arthur Kindersley
Blair. who had charge of the immense
deer forests of the Duke of Sutherland
and who was a captain of volunteers.
Captain Blair was shot and killed.
accidentally, by the late Duke of
Sutherland while out deer stalking.
The Duke made liberal provision for
Captain Blairs widow, and went in
person to express his regrets at the
unfortunate occurrence. The Duke, al
though he had charming wife-who
was Countess of Cromartie in her own
highland a lovely daughter, who was
married to Mr.. Henry Chaplin, the
famous Conservative statesman, became
infatuated with Mrs. Blair. As a re-
suit the Duchess of Sutherland left
Dunrobbin Castle for her villa at
Torquay. She died of broken heart on
November 20, 1888. On March 4, 1889,
the late Duke of Sutherland married
Mrs. Blair in Florida. The tenants OF
Trsnthan and Dunrobbin were so indig-
nant at the conduct of the late Duke |
that the Duchess Mrs. Blair) was pub
licly insulted and the old servants
of the family withdrew in body. |
From that time the late Duke lived upon
strained terms with his family and when
he died, In September, 1892, he left to
the Due hess everything which he could
leave. The Dowager Duchess some time
ago was sent to Jail for contempt of
court in burning document supposed
to have bearing upon the will case
and which she had been ordered to pro-
duce.
The contest of the will has been bit
ter, as under its terms the Dowager
Duchess was to receive $4,000, 900, and
yesterday when the case was call
ed in court no settlement had
been made, when suddenly the
lawyers on both sides asked
for private consultation, which was
granted, and which resulted in the COM
promise alluded to above. Thus one of
the scandals of the English peerage is
inally disposed of unless the Dowager
Duchess, who is still very young ard
again achieves notoriety by
some future esclandre. All the ele-
nents for novelist are presented by
his story from life, and the realms of
lotion presents no more striking or in
eresting features than this tersely told

gentleman, we'll informed and his
word is his bond. John Seder-
berg is all right.

EVERYBODY knows that Hon.
II. E. Hoard, of Montevideo, is a
staunch Republican one ques-
tons his Republicanism. The fol
lowing editorial utterance from his,
paper, the Montevideo Leader, ex-
presses our sentiments:
Republicans who devote their time
to making fun of the principles of the
Populist party or in denouncing the
character or abilities of the Populist
nominee for governor are not helping
their own party very much. Owen is
as clean a man personally and in his
business affairs as can be found any
where and those who undertake to
prejudice the people against him in
that way are only hurting themselves.
Mr.. Owen is clean honorable man
who runs a first class paperin first class
style and there is nothing ''cheap or
nasty" about his establishment. We
do not agree with him altogether on
politics and do not support his candi-
dacy for the governorship, but we do
recognize him as an able and honora-
BILE gentleman who will not stoop to
anything mean.
