FAKE JEWELRY CONCERNS.
The Postmasters Ordered TO Seize Packages
OF Jewelry Sent by Them in the Mails.

The Post Office Department has re-
ceived information that certain fake
jewelry concerns are operating an ex.
tensive swindling scheme, and that
postmasters in different parts of the
country are being made the innocent
means of furtherlng the designs of the
swindlers. The scheme of the compa-
nies is to send a box of worthless
jewelry to a certain person, who, when
he receives it, naturally says it does
not belong to him. The box or pack
age is then returned to the post office
in that locality. On the package is a
notice to open it, and Within will
be found stamps to pay for its trans
mission to the sender"
When one of the fraudulent I"
companies receives It's package, a
letter is sent to the person to whom
it was addressed, saying that he open
ed it and abstracted pair of cuff
buttons or some thing of that sort,
and adding that dollar or so sent to
the writer would make the matter all
right. If objection to making a pay
ment is made by the innocent person,
he is usually dunned in such manner
that the sum asked for is paid to avoid
further annoyance.
Acting Postmaster General Jones
says there is no way for the depart
ment to reach the promoters of this
scheme, except having Postmasters
seize all such jewelry packages, and
consequently he issued an order to
postmasters to that effect.

There was a well-attended session yes
teTday at noon OF the Episcopal Glorious.
Rev. DIR. John X. Mason filled the chair,
and number Of interesting topics arose
for discussion. In view Of the recent
resignation OF Rev. u. s. Fariand as secre-
tary OF the body, an election was gone
INTO to fill the vacancy. and Rev. George
c. Abbitt, rector Of st. Marks church,
was chosen.
There was some talk about the recent
house-to-house visitations, made under
the direction OF the Ministerial Union.
MIR bowman explained that he had
found upon the lists sent in to him the
names Of many peop.e who were members
Of other churches. and wanted to know
whether or not It was his duty to call
TO see these persons. Messrs. Gravatt
and Mann had had similar experiences.
1t seemed TO be the sense Of the mem

Rev. W. A. II. Goodwin, of the Divinity

in behalf OF the institution referred to,
pointing out the advantages of educating
the negro preachers in a southern
institution. He said the northern In

were at present seven students at the
Divinity School, and that another would
soon put In his appearance. There was
great need fer funds TO carry on this
work, and Mr.. Goodwin was then on
his way North 10 secure aid. Mr.. Good

that Bishop Randolph and the Archdea-
con of the Diocese OF Southern Virginia
were not i'm favor of the school, but he
had learned from the latter that both
he and the Bishop had changed their
views with reference to the institution
and were willing TO give 1t their en-

CINCINNATI TOBACCO MARKET.


CINCINNATI, o., November 30.-The
Cincinnati Leaf Tobacco Warehouse Com
pany dncorporated) says: Very little can
be said concerning the tobacco market Tor
the past week, there being sales only two
days-Tueslay and Wednesday. Thursday
being Thanksgiving, which broke into the
week. caused the buyers TO adjourn safes
over until next Tuesday. Offerings were
only moderate on Tuesday, caused by the
large sales of the previous week, ana SELL
ers were of the opinion that prices would
not be any better. and did not care to
offer so largely, but the market started
with considerable vim. and prices were
fully as firm. II not some stronger, the
entire day Offerings on "Wednesday were
some larger and prices kept up firm with
Tuesdays sales. and there were not many
reflections.
There is good demand for the best
grades, and they grow less IN the
market the prices appear TO Improve, put
the mediums and low grades hang at
about the same figures. with the usuai
fluctuations that generally follow an I'M
steady market. The colory tobacco IS quite
active offerings not being equal 70 the
clusion and that Is, all the old stock with
color will be required, and firm prices will
be maintained, while the new tobacco VIII
come into competition with all dark
grades.
Very little of the new crop has come 10
the market. the best price obtained so iar
has been Sl475, while some inferior grades
have been sold at ~ TO cents, and from
the general character of the crop so Iar
we think prices will start at about the
same figures as one year ago.
