THEY "PLUCKED" A DROVER
GREEN-GOODS MEN FIND A GREEN
HORN EASY FRUIT.
Victim Tells His Story to a New Haven
Nerchaht-They Met ON Railroad
Train-The Simple Way In which the
Man Was Cheated Out of $500.

Green-goods men continue to find
greenhorns easy fruit. a New Haven
merchant met western drover on the
Pennsylvania railroad recently who had
just been "plucked" by these sharpers.
He had with him a box which he sup
posed contained $4,000 in counterfeit
bills, but which proved to be nothing
but green papers, for which he paid $500
of honest money.
The drover told the time-worn story
of avarice and simplicity making him
the easy prey of the green-goods spoiler.
The drover had come to New York on
business and while there had received
a letter from the sharpers offering to
sell him $4,000 of counterfeit bills for
$500. He withstood the temptation at
first and returned to his cattle herds in
Missouri unsolicited. The thought of
the "cinch'', way of getting a 800 per
cent. dividend on $780, however, follow
ed him to the plains. It beat the 16 to !
racket all hollow, and 1t looked like a
way OF getting even with the Wall
street robbers
New York He wrote to the parties who
had taken such kindly interest in his
financial welfare. They had not forgot
ten him, but wrote him at once, enclos-
ing q good one dollar bill, which had
been fixed" as specimen Of their
money, and directions as to how he
should meet them and close the deal
The scheme was an appetizing one for
the Missourian. He followed the direc-
tons, met the unknown green goods
financier, was driven for weary dis
tances about the streets Of Greater New
York and finally landed in the third or
fourth-story room SO familiar in stories
of this sort. There were several of the
green goods financiers in the room. The
drover was shown several specimens of
their bills. The drover desired to stock
his bank with one dollar bills, but was
informed that the green-goods sub
treasury was short on bills Of that de-
nomination. but had few two and
plenty of five and ten dollars bills on
hand. The drover bit, and bit hard.
He closed the deal at once. The green
goods boys fitted him out with a few
one and two, but mostly five and ten,
dollar bills to the amount of $4,000. The
bills were counted out before him and
placed in a box. as he supposed, and
given to him. while he paid over the
agreed price Of $500.
He left the house happily with the box
Of bills under his arm. 1t was some
time before he discovered that his bills
were green paper merely. 1t was big
jump from an 800 per cent. premium to
a 100 per cent. discount, and 1t broke
both the brokers' heart and pocketbook
He told his story to the Elm City mer-
chant and showed his box Of green pa
per.

Burckhalter however. takes out an in
genious apparatus, by which he hopes
to overcome the difficulty and to show
the whole object in single photograph
with equal perfection of detail in all its
parts.
An attempt will also be made by
means of the spectroscope camera to
determine accurately the position of
some of the faint violet spectrum
rings" Of the corona, first recognized on
the spectrograms made in 1898, and
thus to obtain further data which may
some time enable us to identify the
mysterious "cornnium" which seems TO
be the Characteristic element OF the CO.

THE WINCHESTER EXHIBIT.
Imposing and Interesting Exhibit o

Imposing and Interesting Exhibit OF
Firearms at the Sportman's Show.
The Winchester Repeating Arms
company have perhaps the most i'm
posing exhibit at the Sportmen's show
in progress at the Madison Square Gar
den, New York. They exhibit firearms
OF almost every size and description,
but their main feature IS the Lee
straight-pull rife that has been adopted
by the United States navy. The calibre
Of the gun is 1856, and 1t shoots a
smokeless powder cartridge with an
Initial velocity Of 1850 feet per second.
The superiority as claimed for it over
other rifles lies in the fact that the OPP
Grafton Of opening and closing Is by
"straight-p instead of the custom
airy "up-turn" and pull back" 1t is
loaded with ci!p--a short wire frame
holding five cartridges; five shots are
thus Instantly ready for delivery in
the time consumed usually In inserting
one shot. 1t can also be used as a sin
gle loader, by placing sixth cartridge
under the extractor, thus keeping the
magazine charged for an emergency. In
this gun the recoil from the discharge
has the effect of locking the breech
mechanism The have now placed on
the market sporting rifle on practical
ly the same lines, that will kill at one
and one-half miles, and 10 has already
been accepted by sportsmen. A cross
section Of wood showing piercing
power of sixty two seven igbths-inch
boards gives fair idea of the power.
A novelty of their exhibit is four rifles
showing the improvements in magazine
rifles. The first represents a muzzle-
loading gun made at Middletown, Conn,
by S. North In 1925 The charges were
loaded into the gun. nine being super
posed upon the first. These charges
were exploded with flint, beginning at

was retired to the next, and so on in
turn.
Under this is shown a gun that is be-
lieved 10 be the first one thatshad a
magazine under the barrel, containing a
follower pushed by spiral spring. This
was manufactured in 1910. II would kill
at about $50 feet. and was of about So
calibre. In 1854 Horace Smith and D.
B. Wesson, both Of Springfield. Mass,
invented the first repeating rife that
was Of any real service. This is shown
in connection with the other two. and
all three. compared with the rife to to-
day, show the rapid advancement in
this line.

M. Ernest Bazin projected a vessel
which he hoped would cross the Allan
tic, from Havre to New York, in about
four days. 1t was launched August IS.
1896, into the Seine from the workshop
of NM. Gail ct Compagnie. at St. Denis.
His idea was to increase speed by sup
pressing the friction of the water
against the vessel as it is forced for
ward. This he proposed to accomplish
by substituting for the ordinary hull of
a vessel a sort of platform supported
over the water by revolving lenticular
shaped wheels. These wheels We're
made to turn with the forward impul-
sion given to the vessel by the propel-'
Ter. The boat. therefore. was not to be
forced through the water. but to roll
upon the surface. Up 10 date the boat
has not fulfilled expectations.
NJ. Bazin had prepared plans for a
great transatlantic vessel, with four
pairs of wheels Its dimensions. il it is
ever constructed. are to be IS metres,
or 2SS feet long, and p metres, or about
IS feet broad. The lenticular shaped
wheels would be % metres, or 70 feet
in diameter, and the distance between
the platform, or deck. and the surface
of the water, metres. or % feet. Ac-
cording to his calculation this vessel
would steam at the rate of 60 kilome-
tres an hour.

HARTFORD AND THE cuRFEw.

Civil Club Intends to Learn Something
OF It's Workings-Its Members Be
lieve That Crime Among Juveniles
Would be Decreased if Children Were
Kept Off Streets Nights.
Should the city of Hartford have a
curfew law? "That Is the question"
says the Hartford Telegram, which
the Civil club will discuss at Its winter
meetings. and 1t is also the question
which promises to be much talked about
in the future.
The Civic club recently requested one
of its members to learn some facts re
garding the workings of the curfew law
in other states, and at the annual meet
ing last Friday brief report was CIV
en-. Mrs. Appleton Hillyer. who presi-
ded at the meeting, requested the men,
bers to gain what information they
could on the subject for future discus
sion.
Considerable correspondence has al
ready been carried on between one of
the members Of the Civic club and the
city authorities Of several western cit
les, where the curfew law is in vogue.
From Omaha, Neb., word has been re-
ceived that it has been impossible to tn
force the law, and that 1t is now practi-
cally dead. The reason assigned Is that
the city Is too large for tse enforcement
OF such an enactment.
Information has also been received
from Indianapolis, Ind, Evanston, ILL.,.
and Denver, Col, together with drafts
of the law. In all these cities there Is
great similarity in the curfeW law.
The law provides that all children I'M
der fifteen years Of age must not be. on
the streets after nine o'clock at night
during the summer months. or eight
O'Clock during the winter months, unless
accompanied by an adult or having In
their possession written permit from
their parents or guardian. Any chill
dren found on the street after hours are
taken home, and if their parents can Of
fer no reasonable excuse then the latter
are subject to a fine.
In the city of Indianapolis the law has
only been In existence short time, but
the authorities are very enthusiastic
over it, and expect the best Of results.
In Evanston, Ind, which is a small
city, the law is meeting with success.
while in Denver it is a comparatively
| new one.
1t is claimed in cities where the cur
| few law has been thoroughly tested that
| it reduces crime among the juvenile
classes and that there are less inmates
| in the reform schools.
There are a great many cities, espec-
tally in the middle west, where the law
IS being tried, but the. eastern cities
have not yet taken it up. The city Of
Salem Mass, has had a curfew law in
existence ever since the time OF the Plr-
| itans.
The members Of the Civic club say
that there is certainly considerable
crime in this city which can be traced
| to Juveniles, and whether or not cur
| few law would help to lessen this is a
| problem which they will try and solve .,
