WAYS OF THE FAKiRS.
Where and How Fortune-Teiling Sharps
Get In Their Work.

"hSk0 oho h1o" Cling SHARPE
Get in Their Work.
1t IS said by the detectives of the
central Office, who occasionally have
to deal with the fortune-telling, hyp-
motto and clairvoyant sharps, that
these latter gentry make their living
by the skill with which they treat the
curious maiden ladies of uncertain age
and the army Of stout and middle
aged women who endeavor. by bleach
Ing their hair and powdering their
faces, to conceal from themselves and
the world the fact that they are grow
ing old. The fortune tellers, says the
New York Sun, are men who eppar-
emily realize that there is in this world
large number of foolish women Of
mature years, who do not object to
paying three or five dollars for having
their fortunes told by some of the re-
markable malseers who are doing such
lucrative business just now in this
line. The fortune-telling sharps
are usually men between thirty
and forty years Of age, of an owl
like air and more or less impressive
ness of manner. and they fondle the
hands of their visitors as they read the
lines after q fashion that would be
ridiculous were it not lucrative There
is no real harm in all of this, according
to the detectives, except that once in
awhile a particularly idle and foolish
old woman permits one of these sbarps
to get the best of her so far as to ex-
tort sums of money, on one pretext
or another, beyond the usual three
dollar limit for consultation. Some
times the pretext is An enlargement
of his business, his desire to
buy a beautiful picture, or some
other trinket of value to him, but
as often as not the man succeeds in
sums of money varying from
five dollars to twenty-five dollars
purely as a loan" 1t is when the
loan gets to be of unusual proper
tions that the police are called in.
They know the fortune tellers very
well, and there is never any difficulty
in getting back the money. but the
elderly, foolish woman in the case is
usually in state of tremendous men

IT APPEARS to be part of the policy oil
the present Administration to heap in
suits and contempt upon men who
served in the Union Army and the mem
bers of their families. In carrying out
the act requiring reductions in his force
Secretary Lamont has made number of
discharges and has taken special pains to
get rid of former soldiers and their
widows and orphans, while retaining
large numbers of those who served In the
Confederate ranks. That his course is In
direct violation of provision of the Re
vised Statutes seems to be nothing to him.
Having done these unlawful and cruel
deeds, he leaves Washington in order to
avoid the protests and opportunities OF
the discharged men and women. II is a
humiliating and dlsgraceful spectacle.

THE County Republican Convention. on
Saturday, did it's work in harmonious
manner, and presented to the voters a
ticket beyond criticism. and one which
for strength and good quality in general
has never before been surpassed.
Burlington Is the first county to place q
State Senator in nomination, and if the
counties to follow do as well as the Re-
publicans here did on Saturday, there
will be no doubt as to the result and the
standard of the upper house will be
greatly improved.
William c. Parry, candidate for Sena-
tor, was born in Bucks county. Pa, but
he has lived in Burlington county for the
past twenty years, during which time he
has shown such an interest in affairs gen.
orally, and has become 80 closely identi-
fed with our people, that it is hard to re-
alize that he ever lived anywhere else.
By profession he is practicing physi-
clan, but he comes from line of farmers,
and some time since he moved to Haines-
port. and took charge of the farm be-
longing to the estate of his wife's father,
hence he may clearly be classed farmer
For several years he was director in
the Burlington County Agricultural So
ciety, and is member of the State Agri
cultural Society. His connection with
these two institutions has given him a
very plain idea of the evils that menace
farmers, and he is perfectly capable OF
laborng to apply the remedy. In fact a
major portion of his time has been de-
voted to this very work, and one of the
main reasons for accepting the Senatorial
nomination was that he might still fur
ther benefit that class that is the pride
and strength of Burlington county.
Dr. Parry has shown his executive abil.
ity and power TO organize on more than
one occasion, the most notable of which
was when he took hold of the milk qnes-
ton about three years ago, when the
dealers were fast securing the upper hand
of the producers. The formation Of the
Dairymen's Association was largely the
result of his labors. He is by no means
a stranger to legislative work. His efforts
at the last session, and their good results
are well known 1t is a fact beyond con.
tradiction that DIR. Parry was Of more
value to the people of this county, and
had more influence in the Senate. than
did The Democrat who was supposed to
be representing US.
DR.. Parry is an ideal American citizen
Broad and liberal in his views. fearless
in his determination to do what is right
with the ability to express himself in a
manner that will command attention and
respect, he is candidate that cannot be
picked Up every day. The Republican
party has reason to feel proud that DR..
Parry has consented to accept the nomi-
nation.
And all that has been said for our Sena-
torial candidate may be truthfully re-
peated for our candidate for the Assem-
bly,, George Wildes He has lived so
long in our midst and is so we'll known
that it seems entirely useless to attempt
to speak of him He is a farmer, one
who knows what hard work is. and who
is no. afraid to labor. That he is tiller
of the soil, however, does not indicate
that he knows nothing but farming. Pos
seisei of more than ordinary intelligence,
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1894-09-25

he keeps thoroughly informed on all
questions of Importance, and is at once
perfectly capable of grasping the scope OF
all questions which interest the people.
He has always taken more than pass
ing interest in public affairs, and has
always been found advocating those
measures which would benefit the com
munity at large, and has never been back
ward in denouncing anything that would
prove detrimental. He Is not hot-headed
nor rash, but carefully scans the situation
before reaching conclusion. With bis
course plain he is never at loss to express
himself in way that carries conviction
with it.
Micaah f. Matlack, our other candidate
for Assembly, needs no introduction, but
he is entitled to more than passing
notice. For two years he has been in the
Assembly and his past record is his plat
form. And we have no hesitation in say
| ing that his record is one that any man
might be proud of
Search through the legislative minutes,
will show many important measures that
| were introduced and pressed to final pas
sage by the young representative. He has
been faithful to the trusts imposed in him.
| With his public record clear, Mr.. Mat
lacks personal record is likewise above
reproach. A young man, without much
of this worlds goods, he was subjected to
many temptations. especially when race
track legislation was under consideration
but be spurned all attempts to swerve
him from the path of duty, and to-day he
has the happy satisfaction of knowing
that his honor is maintai ned.
Samuel A. Atkinson, candidate for
Auditor, is entitled to reelection without
opposition. If any man has earned re-
ward for fidelity to his constituents, Audi
tor Atkinson is the man. He says This
past record shall be the standard of his
future efforts" and this expresses it all,
| for he certainly has done well.
This is our county ticket-Parry, Wildes,
Matlack, Atkinson-a glorious combina-
ton, credit to our party, one which any
man, regardless of politics, need not be
ashamed to openly ad vocate and support
