OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE
PRETENsEs.-George W. Fremont and
John G.. Cheshire were arrested yester-
day in New York on complaint of
Rev. DR.. Edward A. Bradley, vicar OF
St. Agnes's Church, charged with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
DR.. Bradley says that the two men call
ed upon him several years ago, and
represented themselves as solicitors for
the Fremont Polytechnic School, in
this city. They displayed charter, q
prospectus and number of letters
from prominent people. One was an
autograph letter from Congressman
Meredith, of Virginia, notifying them
that the charter had been granted;
another one of recommendation from
United States Senator John w. Daniel.
Other letters were from former Post
master General William L. Wilson and
General Fitzhugh Lee. The school
Fremont and Cheshire represented had
forty-fve pupils and three tutors;
Lemuel z. Quigg was down in the
prospectus as special lecturer. The
trustees of the school were represented
TO D6 Uu6 4NdliOudA OdlC OCpOoiO ooNih6H
and Trust Company of the District oil
Columbia. The men also displayed a
list of subscribers, among whom were
a number of prominent persons. DIR.
Bradley says that he has given $40 in
all to the alleged school. Several days
ago R. B. Robinson, president of the
John Hay Industrial School, in this
city, called on DIR. Bradley and asked
for aid for his school. DR.. Bradley In
formed Robinson that he could not sup
port two schools in one city, and show
ed receipt for his subscriptions to the
Fremont Polytechnic School. Robin
son then told DIR. Bradley that nc
such school existed. Complaint wa:
made several weeks ago of coloreC
people in the North who were collect
ing money for the Fremont School,
and some of the officials of the city
wrote letters notifying people of the
fact that no such school exists. a
charter was applied for but it was not
issued for the reason that the usua
fee were not paid.

The DRINK oFDRINKs.

Sparkling Kolafra 6. ~ serves all
the ends of a light beverage perfectly.
Among drinks it is what the American
Beauty rose is among flowers. 1t pleases
the senses and quenches thirst as moth
ne else will. 1t is absolutely non-in-
toxicating and yet it is stimulating. Its
stimulation is, however, peculiar 10
itself. 1t is akin to that of coffee, yet
decidedly didcrent-more agreeable
and prolonged; producing none of the
harmful effects of tea or coffee.
S. X. is delightful and heallhful,
giving sense of well being not deriy-
able from any other drink.
1t should be served ice cold.
THIRS rRELIEVING QUALITIES.
Sparkling Kolafra allays thirst with
much less fluid than any other drink
not excepting water. This is very
important consideration in hot weather
when because ordinary drinks have
but momentary eflecD the tendency
is to imbibe too much iluid-a custom
which produces An unplea-a ant sensa-
lion in the stomach and interferes with
the digestion. For this reason one
GLASS of S. K. does more good than half
dozen of almost any other beverage.
The effect stays with you. You have
longer time between drinks the
throat and mouth remaining cool and
moist during the interval. This quality
alone gives Distinguishing character
to Sparkling Kolafra.
It also vitalizes and exhilarates,
counteracting the sense of lassitude and
depression incident to the heated term.
Briefly, Sparkling Kolafra possesses
distinct properties which are easily re-
copnizable on trial, and commend it as
something especial and excellent among
the world of drinks.
eac"S. K.n is never drawn from soda
fountains. Sold only in bottles.
