Sold R1ortgaged Property.

Just why an intelligent man will be guilty of knowingly disposing of morfgaged property, when mo- ments thought would convince him that his crime is sure to be detected and punished, is hard to under. stand, yet every few weeks the pa- pers record the fact that some man has been guilty of the above crime
 Yesterday one ". H. Ward, a white man, was arrested and placed in iail on a warrant charging him with having disposed of property on which there was a lein. This is a penitentiary offense, and it is sur prising that any one but an ignor- ant person would ever be guilty of the crime.

Chicago, Dec. IA special from New
York says: Two hundred of the wife
hunting princes and dukes and the
land-poor counts and barons of Europe
have dubbed together in an organiza-
ton in this city, the Cercle De La
Noblesse, to win the multi-millionaire
girls of this country for wives The os-
tensible purpose of the club is, to quote
from it's charter, to offer pleasant and
recreative place of meeting to the elite
of European society visiting in this
country, to render their stay pleasant
as possible, and to felicitate them
selves social and otherwise.
This felicitation has been We'll COM
menced by the preparations of a list,
which contains the name, age and de-
scription, habits and approximate for
tune of every unmarried woman IN
this country who is worth more than
$1,000, 900, or whose probable do>ser will
amount to that much. Detectives and
agents are to be employed to meet these
girls socially, and later introduce to
them the wife-hunting noblemen of the
Cercle De La Noblesse.
This club of mobiles has been regularly
incorporated under the laws of New
Jersey with a capital of 100000, and
second street. only a few doors from
the Waldorf hotel.
The scheme in brief is this: When
the club has been fairly launched into
the social swirl of upper tendon in
New York, a systematic siege will be
commenced upon the willing hearts of
the rich girls throughout the land. New
York will be a good starting point, for,
according to the secret list that has
been prepared. there are 1900 girls in
the United States who are worth $1000,-
600 or more, of which 1900 are in New
York city and 269 in Brooklyn. They
argue that at least one of their men,
bers viii be supplied with a wife from
this list within the first year of their
social operations; two in the second,
three in the third and ten in the fourth
year. Working upon that basis, they
have prepared an estimate of profits,
which shows, frs, that the annual
subscriptions and the sale of privileges
will pay the running expenses.
Then each successful member must
pay the club a commission or assess
ment of 6 per cent on the fortune he
acquires. so if there is only one case
of million dollar bride in the first
year the clear profit of the stockholders
will be 100000. just so per cent divi-
dend on their investment.

Mrs. Lucie Kiersted Grafton is credited
with having sent out a letter to the
dlscontented members summoning
them TO meet for the purpose of form
ing new chapter. This is really a
sequel TO the election of April last, at
winch there were two candidates for
the regency, Mrs. Donald Mclean and
Miss Mary Van Buren, Vanderpoel. The
supporters of each were enthusiastic,
ana the struggle was a notable one.
one OF the side issues still remains IN
settled. Anonymous letters. which
reached dozen or more members. have
placed some of the best known daugh-
ters on an alleged blacklist. Libel
SUITS were threatened, but the writer
OF TIE letters was not discovered. The
Mclean partisans were vigorous i'm
that election, and many RESERVATIONS
among the opposing factions followed.
Ihese Mrs. Grafton now desires 10
prlng together in a new chapter. Mrs.
Roger A Pryor of the present CHAPTER
IS opposed to this plan She declares.
indeed, that it would be necessary for
an amendment TO be passed by the

new chapter could be legalized.

Canton, O., Dec. 1.-Major Mckinley
had a long talk with Mark Hanna this
afternoon and evening, for the first
time since the election. They have had
some hurried chats, but never talked
at length, as they have done today.
Mr.. Hanna will be here until late to-
morrow afternoon. and before his de-
parture it is likely that he will have
agreed 20 become secretary of the
navy. The work of active cabinet
building seems 10 be in a measure
awaiting his decision. The belief is
current tonight that Mr.. Hanna will
be secretary of the navy, and General
Alger secretary of war. If Mr.. Hanna
is made secretary of the navy, it is
not improbable that c. n. Bliss of New
York will be appointed either post
master-general or secretary of the in
terror.
There is no confirmation of the ru-
NOR that Charles G. Dawes of Chicago
is to be appointed private secretary.
E. G. Dewitt, postmaster of the Mar
quette club, Chicago, called on Mr. Nc
Kinley today. The Marquette cub was
one of the organizations that assisted
to bring about the nomination of. Ma
jor Mckinley, and the members feel
that b. reason of their loyalty they
ought TO be entitled to make occasional
suggestions about certain appointments
in Illinois.
Mr.. Hanna said tonight that he did
not expect any trouble respecting the
inaugural ceremonies. He will leave
for Washington on Thursday. The in
dications are that the inaugural parade
will be the largest ever witnessed.

THE ELECTION CONTEST.
IDLE TALK OF RECOVERING THE
LAST LEGISLATURE.
The Few Who Would Like 10 Set
Aside the Will of the People still
Insist That the Election Law Was
Never Passed by the House.

The talk of contesting the election on
the lines outlined recently in The Her
aid, is still being quietly made, and it
is said that an attorney is preparing
the matter with all haste.
The few who wish to see the will of
the people set aside base their con-
tention on the alleged fact that the
general election law, after being
amended and passed by the senate
was never passed by the lower house,
but that the amendments of the senate
were simply concurred in.
There were whisperings yesterday to
the effect that the Republican mana
gers would endeavor to reconvene the
last legislature, and go ahead with
business just the same as though there
was no regularly elected body in ses-
sion. This is considered impracticable
for the reason that few of the men
elected two years ago will lend them
selves to any such scheme. The plan
is being agitated nevertheless, and if it
can be carried out the old legislature
will go through the form of electing
United States senator.
The only trouble with this dazzling
project is that it won't work

CON CANNON'S CASE.
Their Side of the story of the Sem
satiouaI Raid.

Chicago, Dec. IA Boston special
says: The Con Cannons. mediums who
figured in the sensational raid at the
First Spiritual temple, were seen by
reporter yesterday, and asked if they
desired to make any statement of their
side of the case. Mr.. Con Cannon was
in bed and Mrs. Con Cannon acted as
spokesman, making the following state
ment:
I'VE cannot tell you at the present
time what action we will take. but
there are something's which l desire
emphaticaIly to deny.
In the first place, the figure before
the audience when the disturbance
was made was not that of an old man
with a long white beard, as stated, but
of a female. with blonde hair. The
face was perfectly smooth, as every
body could see and the. form was dis
tinctly that of woman. When the
young men rushed on the stage they
brought their things with them-the
wig and beard and the robe. No sucli
things are used in our materialiZations.
When these things were thrown into
the cabinet by one young man | was
seized by the wrist and at the samd
time struck in the side as l was in the
act of drawing the curtain away on
one side of the cabinet.

The people who broke up the fleeting
used violence from which Mr.. Con
Cannon is now suffering. He was
choked and hurt otherwise. We have
had a doctor to him several times and
if you want statement as to his in
juries you can go to the physician"
Mrs. Con Cannon was asked how she
disposed of the statement that Mr. Con
Cannon was found in the cabinet in a
nude condition.
I'VE will answer that in the proper
place" she said, with tone of as
Surance.
In regard TO the dispatch from Okla
homa that they had been exposed there
she said: This dispatch is a lie We
were acquitted on the testimony of the
very witnesses who were called to tes-
tify against US. 1t was not proven that
Mr.. Con Cannon was naked in the
cabinet as the dispatch states. The
form that was before the audience at
the time dematerialized as the one did

ing convicted We were acquitted by

Growing Carnations Indoors.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: Carna-
tions do not do well in the window
garden of ordinary living rooms, be-
cause the air is too dry and the varia-
lions in temperature are too great.
They can be grown indoors, but they
must have cool, moist air and a
southern exposure. A lady in the low
er part of the city sells many dozens
of blooms in the winter from plants
in the second floor extension of her
six-room dwelling. This extension is
a square-cornered bay window with
three sides of glass, the fourth being
the opening to the sitting-room, and
is closed by chenille hangings reaching
to the floor. The extension faces the
south. About the three sides are
shelves, with room between the shelves
and glass for the window shades. the
floor is painted and slopes slightly
toward an outside corner, where is a
pipe connecting with the drain. Or
dinarily the floor is covered with a
rug, but when the plants are being
watered this is taken up. The water
ing is by means of a fine hose fast to
a faucet in the bathroom.
The heat from the sitting-room is
ordinarily enough, but on cold nights
pals of water are stood around and
the shades are lowered. On very cold
nights a small kerosene stove and.
newspapers between the shades and
the glass give protection. Whenever
the glass is frosted the shades are
kept drawn until the glass is clean,
and for some little time afterwards.
The sitting-room is heated by small
base burner coal stove, and on top of
it is kept a wide top-open urn filled
with water. Besides carnations, to-
matoes, straw berries and cucumbers
are grown. The affair is on a small
scale, but every inch of the space is
utilized.

yesterday quoted Tim Sullivan as say
ing that Sam Austin would never again
referee a bout for the Broadway Ath-
letic club.
II was thunderstruck at his decision
in the Erne-DiXOn fight" said
O'Rourke. IN the opinion of every
fair-minded man it should have been
a draw.
I have been severely criticised for
being in Dixon's corner continued
O'Rourke- Why, have been with the
boy since he first came out. I have
been with him during his prosperity
Now that he has admittedly gone back,
why should I desert him, even in my
own club? If I had stayed out of his
corner, the criticisms against me
would have been more harsh They
would have accused me of deserving
him. I could not have stood for that
Now, l tell you what I am going to
do. and do it merely to show my
faith in Dixon I am willing to match
him with Erne again in a fight to the
finish. They have accused me of hay
ing been in on the throwdown for
Dixon. Why. 7 still believe he can
whip Erne. and 1 am willing to back
my opinion. Let those who think diff
