SWAGGER
SWINDLER.

NEW YORK, Nov 17.-Three young
women-two of them heiresses of this
city and the other a famous Austria
liam artist temporarily here-are said
to be the victims of an alleged swell
swindler, Arthur Blair Moody. of New
Haven, Conn, who was yesterday ar
rested at that city. Moody is now out
on bail and is fighting the attempt to
bring him to New York. Moody comes
of a good family. His father is in the
insurance business in New Haven and
his mother is a doctor. Moody stopped
for a long time at the Holland house
and cut quite a. dash. When he left
the Holland he was s1,100 in debt to
proprietor Baumann for his board.
Moody happened to meet the Rev. DR..
De Leon Nicholl who took a fancy to
him and introduced him to Miss Mary
Van Buren, Vanderpool, who in turn in
troduced him to her friend, Miss
Rosamond H. Owen. Both ladies hold
high positions in New York society. AS
soon as Moody felt that he had ggained
the confidence of the women, he dined
them at the Holland house. There. it
is alleged, he unfolded a great mining
scheme. A few days later Moody call
ed on Miss Vanderpool, and said that
his partner had told him of a grand
oportunity One of the men who had
put down his name for some of the
mining stock had failed to get the
money, and although the mayor of New
Haven had tried to get in he ((Moody)
had managed to get the chance for
Miss Vanderpool. The latter was de-
lighted, but she did not have the ready
money and she recommended her
friend, Miss Owen. The latter took to
the scheme and gave Moody $4,000.
That was in March last. On July 10,
Moody went to Miss Owen and said that
$1,000 more was needed and she gave
him a consolidated 6 per cent gold
bond of the ST. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitaba railroad, market value $1,175.
She told Moody to dispose of it and re-
turn the SITS to her. He gave the bond
to Proprietor Baumann of the Holland
house for a board bill Of $1,170, telling
him that if the bond was not redeemed
in thirty days he might sell it. Moody
never redeemed it and it was sold. He
did not return the SITS to Miss Owen.
Later in July, Moody went once more
to Miss Vanderpool and told her of an
other SPLENDID opportunity for making
money. Miss Vanderpool says she gave
Moody a $1,000 United States gold bond
without getting any receipt or security

for it and she has not since heard Of
it.
Meantime Moody had been at work
at the Buckinghom motel. There he
met Miss Ellis Rowen, an artist in
water colors, from Australia. She was
also impressed with Moody and showed
him a set of $50 water color paintings
of the fora of Australia, which sac
said was worth e 900. Moody preached
his latest scheme to the artist and got
$3.50 from her on the security of fifty
shares of the stock of his company.
Then he wanted more money for the
scheme and she let him take the pic
lures as security. He was to raise
fl 500 pounds on them, the pictures 20
be placed in a safe deposit vault as Sc
curity After a time she became anX-
ious and asked for the pictures. He
gave back, she says, all but thirty,
and said that he did not know where
the others were. Then he told her he
could sell the pictures to George Van
derbilt, who wanted to decorate his
house at Biltmore. N. c. About two
months ago he disappeared. He owed
proprietor Baumann a 81 400 board bill
when he left. The police happened to
hear of the matter and Moody was in
dicted in the case of Miss VanderpooI
81 900 bond.

Form of Autonomy Fixed.
CUBANS TO BE ALLOWED ALL THE PRIVI-
LEGES OF THE SPANIARDS.

MADRID, Nov. flowing to the in
for the colonies, the meeting Of the
Spanish cabinet. which had been call
ed for the discussion of Cuban auton-
my this evening was postponed. The
principal basis of the scheme to be
considered when the cabinet meets are
the enjoyment of all the rights ac-
corded by the Spanish constitution
without any curtailment whatever; the
indemnity of political and civil rights
for Spaniards and Cubans, without dis
tirction of race or color, and the crea-
ton of a Cuban chamber, all the men,
bers of which are to be elected by popu-
lar vote A Cuban senate is to be Gre
ated later on.
London, Nov 1S.-The Times, COM

form statement, says: 1T remains to
be seen if Senior Sagasta has the cour-
age to face the dangers of the Catal-

involving not only the certain ruin of
the cabinet, but grave danger to the
dynasty and to social order. Spain
is probably willing to admit American
capital into Cuba on fair terms, and
to grant large trading concessions.
The essence Of Spanish policy, how
ever, is to exclude foreign influences
and to maintain the privileged position
of the mother country. How far the
Spanish government will recede from
this position, it would be rash to pre-

THE LAST PLACE GOD MADE.

IFrom the Rocky Mountain News.1
Captain Charles Z. Nordstrom of the
Tenth cavalry was a guest of the Brown
hotel yesterday on his way to Santa
F'e. n. NJ, to take charge of the Indian
agency of rhe Pueblos and JicariIlas,
with Headquarters in the capital of the
territory The captain has been sta
toned at Fort AssinibOine, Mont, and
expressed great pleasure at the pros
pect of residing in a milder climate.
Fort Assiniboine," remarked the
captain, lis probably the last place God
ever made, yet it is one of the health
p lest spots on the globe. Nobody dies
there and promotions are consequently
very slow. I confess I grew tired of
life at a dreary post 40 miles from the
British possessions and when I heard
of the change in the Indian agency I
asked for an opportunity to try my
luck with the aborigines. I have had
some experience with various tribes of
Indians during period of 30 years in
the west and 1 have a curiosity to see
how theory and practice will operate
together.
: Those are the kind of gloves we
wear in northern Montana" remarked
the captain as he drew from his valise
a great pair of fur gloves which show
ed evidence of long use. "On the 18th
of March the temperature was So de-
greeS below zero and 1t was not unuS-
uaIly low for the season either. A per-
son who would keep from freezing in
such a climate must put on enough

A STEP FORWARD.

Leavenworth seems to have reached
such a stage of moral turpitude that
some of her ministers have at last
deemed it necessary to call a halt. Her
liberation of joints and other dens of
iniqufty could go on unrebuked for
years. but when her women became
devotees OF the gaming table they ap-
pear to have thought it time to draw
the line.
It does not appear clearly whether
the criticism of the preachers was lev
eled at the participation in the game
by Leavenworth's fair ones or at the
methods employed. 1t is related that
one feminine adept at draw poker
raised a cold deck on her adversary
and won from her $500 by dealing her
four kings while she provided herself
with four aces.
Considering the familiarity with the
game displayed by the reverend gen
tleman it is possible that, mingled with
his other outraged feelings, was a trace
of Indignation that she who manipulat-
ed the cold deck should have done
so shortsighted and unprofessional a
thing as to hold only four aces when
she might as well have had a royal
hush''
That portion of the public familiar
with the great American pastime will
note that in the pulpit history-of this
interesting Leavenworth engagement
the 'joker'' is unaccounted for. Much
other material information is lacking
from the reverend gentleman's descrip-
ton. No mention is made regarding
the size of the ante" neither is it re-
lated whether there was a Jack pot"
on the board at the time when this
particular play involving $500 occurred.
A man who had been detected in so
reprehensible a style of play would not
be tolerated longer in gentlemen's So
esety and scarcely in that of profess
sionaI gamblers, hot Leavenworth APP
pears to be an exception to all rules.
This effort at reform is commendable,
however. though weak. After having
abolished cheating in the game of draw
poker the Leavenworth pastors may
as a second step be able to eradicate
the game itself from the list of amuse-
ments of the female portion of her pop
ulation.

MORE FORCE THAN STEAM.
New York millionaire Makes a Dis
covery While Freezing Whisky.

New York, April 2.--Charles E. Trip
pier, chemist inventor and millionaire,
who nvl- al 40 West Seventy seventh
street, believes he has discovered a
force with twenty times The expansive
power Of steam
For more than five years Mr.. Trip
pier has been experimenting with a
compound, concocted by himself, which
is capable of producing intense cold
While he was exhibiting the properties
of the compound to his friends in the
cafe of the Hotel Endicott Saturday
night, and had frozen glass of whisky
by pouring a portion of his cold-com-
polling liquid upon it, r. J. Dean, one
Of the spectators, who is deeply inter-
ested in problems relating to cold stor-
age lit a match and held it close TO
the frozen whisky
Instantly there was a loud report and
the air was filled with fragments OF
splintered glass, which found resting
places in the flesh of the gentlemen
who surrounded the table. Four OF
them were seriously cut about the race
and body.
Mr.. Trippler declares that the ex-
plosion has opened to science a new
field of inquiry the exploration OF
which will probably result in the dis
covery of a new and amazing motive
power. The question to be settled is
what was the gas which produced this
amazing explosion.

MONSTER BATH HOUSE.
John Thresher Thinks Pittsburg
Needs Practical Church

Pittsburg, April "A conference of
Christian workers was held at the Fifth
Avenue NJ. E. church last night and
John Thresher delivered a sermon on
THE Downtown, or Institutional
Church.
Mr.. Thresher spoke of the absence of
such churches in Pittsburg, among the
240 religious bodies, and said if he could
do it he would remove the tombstones
from Trinity churchyard, transfer the
remains from the ground and build
near Smithfeld street a six or eight
story ffreproof building. In the base
ment of this he would provide baths
for men and women at cents a bath,
and in an other story would furnish
good dinners for cents and better ones
for 10 cents.
I'VE must throw some safeguards
around the young" said he. Just
think Of the boys and girIs carrying a
package of cold lunch ana eating it in
a corner. There are strangers coming
into town every day and something
should be done for them. Tt is a mil
lion times better to prevent a boy or
girl from falling shan to save him or
her after they have gone TO destruc-
ton. Penitentiaries pay punish but
cannot reform. That is the work for
the churches, and it is evident some
thing is radically wrong when we re-
alize that last year 10000 murders were
committed in the United States and five
years ago only 5000 such crimes were
committed
