HAS SORROWING FRIENDS.
{. NJ Dawson Leaves Many Victims
in His Trial.

Tie disappearance of +. NJ. Dawson
from this city has been the cause of II
great deal of street talk for the past few
days. Especially was this the case yes
tercay when it became generally known
That he was gone. If all reports be true,
some of his friends and some of the bus
mess men of the city would be mighty
glad to see him, for he did not get away
soon enough to keep from hurting them
from financial standpoint 1t is true
That they are not hurt for very large
amounts, but the circumstances are
rather aggravating.
Dawson was for number of years IL
partner with and genera; manager OF the
clothing house of the late Joseph Cohn,
Dut some months ago dissolution took
place, and Dawson went into the tailor
ing business, it seems, rs an agent. He
BEGAN on small scale, but soon had q
good trade worked up. He had formed IL
club of fifty composed largely of railroad
men who were paying him ut the rate of
81 weekly OH suits which were being is
sued to the more lucky members in reg
ular weekly drawings. When II suit was
drawn the measure was taken and of
course the order sent into his house for
the suit, which generally delayed matters
two or three weeks. Only IL very few
suits had been made and delivered while
the club had paid i'll something near 800
in cash
Another scheme that Daw son worked
was to 20 to IL merchant or butcher and
make contract for IL suit. take the meas
ure, and then 20 to work and trade out
the value of the goods which were never
delivered. This was the ease with w. G..
OVERLY, the butcher, who contracted for
Il $50 suit several months ago lie man
aged to get about $40 worth of meat from
Mr.. OVERLY and on Saturday night went
to him and told him that his suit had
come and would be delivered on Monday
morning. The suit has not been deliv.
cred yet.
Before leaving Dawson uttered IL num-
Der of worthless checks ranging in
amounts of from 81 to $50, on which he
secured the cash. Among those who now
hold his paper are Sam Stone, the drug
gist, and Louis Catogn.
1t is also stated that Il friend was in
duccd to endorse note for 1910, which
has been protested by the bank since his
departure, and which his friend will have
to pay Dawson told some one that he
had been offered Il position in Baltimore
ut Sll0 per month, which he was going to
accept, but since he left one of his victims
who cashed one Of his checks, it is said.
has heard from him and that he is in
Columbus, Ohio.

The women of Denmark.

Danish ladies are, of course. as hetero-
geneous, seducing, disappointing and
adorable as the ladies elsewhere. One
scarcely knows if they form a national
type of very clear individuality. The
most winsome of them are English in
their ways up to certain point, though
they have not the elasticity of move
ment that an athletic training gives.
They are. moreover, or certainly seem,
delightfully."- spontaneous and fresh. The
curse of mauvaise homie knows them
not-this, too, although at heart they
are excessively sentimental, and by Gull
ture in very many cases devotees of Ib
sen. One would expect such an alliance
to produce III them much psychological
distress. But probably their hearts are
still sounder than their heads. They
would forgive-though perhaps with
paDg-where Ibsen's iron conscienced
heroine would exclaim to her husband
Of about two years standing: 81 have
been deceived in you. You are not near
ly perfect, and therefore we must part.
FAREWELL" The time may come when
they will, as class, be educated up to
the sublime pitch Of selfshness (mis-
called self respect) apotheosized in GER

will not come easily.

show studio of London) one Sunday aft
ernoon the latest rays of sunlight touched
the wavy masses of his silver hair and
caused his fine profile to stand out cameo
like against a background of rich, dark
draperies. He wore a shabby, short coat
of black velvet and could not have looked
