BAD CHECKS HIS CAPITAL.
A Glib-TOngued Stranger Operates
Amongst Hotel Keepers.

Stroudsburg, Pa, Nov 16.--A story
of Il suave stranger and check game
has just leaked out, in which we'll
known hotelkeepers were badly bitten.
The stranger was a fine-looking, we'll
dressed man, and he first worked his
scheme on the proprietor of Bach
Riverside hotel, just above Bushkill.
The proprietor Cashed checks to the
amount of 1854. The checks came back
marked "No good"
At Fulmer's High Falls house the
suave gentleman managed to secure
$6j. Two or three other landlords were
touched for similar amounts.
The fact that Detective Robert Pink
erton arrived in StrOudsburg on Satur-
day night, Ostensibly on a hunting trip
in Pike county, leads to the belief that
the well-dressed man is wanted in other
cities for similar practices.

No More Foot Ball at Girard,

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-The students
at Girard college were today forbidden
to play football in the future. The
order was issued by President Fetter-
off, and is the result of one of the boys
having his leg broken last Saturday
during a practice game. There has
been great interest manifested in the
game by the 1900 students, and they
feel much disappointed at the stop
ping of the game.
