is today on every body's tongde. In the

head, Mr.. Pullman impressed me as a
natural leader. have rarely cared for
rich men, because, as rule, the absorp-

ever-growing greatness of Chicago, which

with such system OF sewerage as is
unequalled, with lower death rate
by four in a thousand than in Kensing-

All this was the work of one man, who
took wretched bit of land and trans

THE OLD STORY.
Two Very Good Men Taken 10 by Green
Goods swindlers.
TNeM York Press

New York Press.1
Ex-Chief of the United States Secret
Servic e, A. l.. Drummond, was asked
yesterday to look for green goods men
who had swindled two church deacons
from Yarmouth, Me. N this city. Mr..
Drummond knows green goods men
pretty well. He says that there are many
new features in the methods of the SWIM
oilers, one OF the most important of which
is that NO more kilograms are passed
between the victim and the green goods
operators.
In the circulars and letters sent to j.
D. Read and James Morgan of Yarmouth,
the two latest victims, the green goods
men told them to be careful and not
send any kilograms, as the telegraph
companies were banded against them
now. Before the Lexow committee in
vestigation and the test suit brought in
New Jersey against the Western Union
Company by the prosecuting authorities,
the telegraph companies used to forward
all kilograms for green goods men. Now
it is otherwise.
The United States postal authorities,
Mr.. Drummond said, can better reach the
green goods men when the mails are used
altogether in the swindle
The deacons who applied TO ex-Chief
of the Secret Service Drummond for aid
in capturing the men WHO had swindled
them, said that they received brick"
in box instead of the bogus money
they were expecting. They called on a
IN. Henry" at 429 Sixth avenue as per
Instructions in the circular, and used
the pass work Frank"
ftar. baipo viptinizad Onoa tho omar,
goods men offered them $lO,O III green
goods for $1,000 if they would come on
again and buy, which the aged deacons
did, it is said. Now they want revenge.
