Story of the Most
Shameless Fraud
of the
Nineteenth Century.

ingS of secret societies.
Of devil worshippers he was the pro-
nounced foe, and many alleged secrets
of theirs were revealed by him to
church dignitaries. Moreover, he claim
ed to have been a Free Mason in his
early years, and his antagonism to that
order, after he became Catholic. made
him a marked man. Again, he was
supposed to have been instrumental in
converting Diana, and, hence, on this
august occasion, 1t was surely fitting
that he should take q front place. So
they waited patiently to hear him.
81 AM DIANA VAUGHAN"
But hardly had the first words come
from his lips when a look Of utter as
tonishment swept over the faces be-
fore him. And no wonder. for these
were his astounding words:
Ladies' and gentlemen, you desire
to see Diana Vaughan. Look at me!
I am Diana Vaughan"
The audience was actually so para
lyzed with establishment that not
word was uttered, and TaXi1 went on
as calmly as though he were deliver
ing lecture on the mountains Of the
moon. On his face there was self
satisfied smile, and in his voice there
was that emotion which we usually
associate with the voice of a well fed
philanthropist. It never seemed to
occur to him that there was anything
shameless in his conduct; on the con-
trary, he seemed to, glory in 1t.
After informing the audience that
there was no such person as Diana
Vaughan he launched into history Of
his career. To fool men had always
given him pleasure, he said. Thus on
one occasion he had frightened the
people Of Marseilles almost to death
by telling them that the quays of the
city were in danger of being destroyed
by sharks, and on another occasion he
had bamboozled the greatest archaelo-
gists in Europe by a cock and a bull
story of a city at the bottom Of Lake
Geneva.
In 1885 he decided to fool the Catho-
lie church. SO he went to a leading

A WISE PROBATION.
At last the evening of the meeting
came, and a select audience gathered
in the hall of the Geographical society
to hear Diana's confession. When they
were all seated lots were cast for the
prize, and it was won by Ali Kennel,
q correspondent Of the Constantinople
paper Ikadam. Then it became known
that every one had been obliged to
leave his cane or umbrella in charge Of
an attendant at the door, and the re-
suit was a natural buzz Of surprise.

BOUGHT GOLD BRICKS.
New Orleans Man Pays $4,000 for q
Trunk Full

New Orleans. July 31.-Pascal Las
tellea saloonkeeper of this city, was
buncoed yesterday out of $1,000 for gold
bricks.
The swindlers were alleged father and
son. The older said his name was Ralph
DiaZ. They came from BuenoS Ayres,
they said. where they were in govern
ment employ, and limited that they had
got we'll ahead of the government They
finally showed Lastelle a trunk full of
gold bricks.
They said they We're worth 100000.
They agreed to let Lastelle have have
third ownership for 81 900. The bricks
were filed and the filings showed pure
gold. Lastelle produced the cash, $1,000
The trunk was left with him as securi-
ty.

was suffering from heart disease and

promised to return soon Lastelle had
the bricks analysed. They. are brass.

THE UPRISING IN INDIA.

The British public and the British
government have a long score which
they will be forced to settle with the
people of India sometime. 1t includes
such items as oppression, robbery, out
rage, murder, plague and famine in all
their variations. 1t looks as though
the time for the settlement has arrived.
There is no longer a need for a Burke
to put the indictment of England into
words. All that he said of the admin
istration of Warren Hastings on that
famous occasion so we'll described by
Macaulay is true of the British admin
istration in India today, and more. It
is known to the whole world.
The cruelties practiced by the Span
iards in Cuba, the Turkish atrocities in
Armenia which have shocked the 'civ-
ilized" world, Great Britain included,
are insignificant in comparison with the
history of century of English rule in
India.
The closing of the Indian minis
marked the turning of the tide. This
was followed by the famine when
thousands of the natives were permit
ted to starve while the granaries of the
oppressors were filled TO overlooking.
Starvation was accompanied by the
plague, as it always is in some form.
The people have at last grown deS-
perate. The worm has turned. The
day of reckoning appears to be at
hand.
1t will stand forever as a monument
of England's shame that when the
United States was ready and willing,
anxious to help feed the millions of her
starving subjects, she did not even vol
unteer to supply ships to transport the
grain which had accumulated for that
purpose. The reason for this apathy
is not hard to find. English spectators
in India had grain to sell and any i'm
portations for gratuitous distribution
would tend to lower the price.
Commercial England let's no law,
human or divine. stand between her
and the accumulation of wealth. Honor,
humanity, human life count as nothing
in the scale when weighed against the
greed of gain.
The armies of the queen may sup
press the present uprising, but they
cannot crush it. 1t is certain to break
out again very soon unless there shall
be a great reformation in the admin
istration of the affairs of the Indian
empire.

YERKES Will ADD A DOME
Addition to Lake Geneva OBSERVE
tory

Chicago, July &c. T. Yerkes will
build another dome on the observatory
at Lake Geneva. 1t was said at the
University of Chicago yesterday that
he had added several thousand dollars
10 his original donation. 1t has not been
decided what kind of instrument to put
in the new dome, but it will proba bly,
be 12-inch refra ctor.
With the erection of the new dome
the work on the observatory will prac-
tically be complete. The big 81 ton
supporting floor under the big dome
has been rebuilt after the crash. 1t
viii be remembered that the whole
giant structure went down in a heap
two months ago because the steel cables
slipped.
These are now again ready to be put
in place, and the monster instrument
will be ready to be turned toward the
heavens in the latter part of the week.

CHARLES A. DANA IS ILL.
The Editors Condition is Not Alarm.
ing, But He Needs Rest

New York, July 31.-1ntimate friends
of Charles A. Dana, the veteran editor
of the New York Sun, have known fer
some time that his health was seriously
impaired by a painful disorder. Mr..
Dana is at his beautiful country home,
Dosoris. near Oyeter Bay, on the north
shore of Long Island, and is under the
care of his physicians, who have dag
nosed his trouble as catarrh of the
stomach.
Mr. Dana's condition is not serious
enough now to be alarming to those in
innate friends who are acquainted with
the details of his illness. His son, Paul
Dana, in reply to inquiries made this
morning, stated that Mr.. Dana was
about the same as he had been for the
past few weeks. By his physicians
orders he is taking a long rest from all
work during the facilitating SUNNI ar
months in the hope that his strength
will return in the autumn.

FIRST MODERN DEFENCE.
Fort Washington to Be Garrisoned
for the Protection of the Capital.

Washington, d. c., July 31-The
| first modern defence in the new forti-
| fications plan of the army to be gar
| risoned is that at Fort Washington, u
miles down the Potomac river, where
great guns are mounted to protect the
national capital from sea invasion. The
little garrison comprises battery OF
the 4th artillery for the present, but
with gradual advancement of the post
in Importance other troops will be
sent there.
On the high bluffs of the shore. back
from the river, where passengers on
Stea merS would never suspect the pow
eTful means of defence already complet-
ed, are modern barracks capable of
quartering 200 or 800 men, or treble the
number now required to fight the 10
inch guns in place should occasion arise.
Grim old Fort Washington with its
moss covered walls, looking formidable
Iery as a cheese box could be. stands
close by these barracks, and adds to the
impresSivenesS of the capitals fortiH-
cations.
In fact. the old fort is all that can
be seen from the river below, as the
modern structures are so we'll protected
by the high banks, that save for a
white rim extending along the brow, no
one would imagine the power conceal
ed behind.
Across the Potomac, one mile away,
the government has just completed an
immense pier, extending far out into the
shallow waters of the Virginia shore,
for the use of the army in handling the
great guns making ready for the en-
placements and to facilitate the land
ing of supplies when Fort Sheridan be-
comes a military post. Back near the
shore work is progressing ON the en-
placements, and soon one will be ready
for the big 10-inch guns that are to
compose part of the battery.
This fort, with Fort Washington, will
be the first in the Qualifications system
completed and ready for troops. In
voar of two both will DrOba bIV become
posts of Importance, requiring half
regiment of artillery to man them.
