At this point boy crawls behind the mirror and lets down the wooden back of the easel, which serves for shelf seat for the boy after the mirror has been restored to it's place. A cloth at the back of the easel behind the mirror space eoneeals the boy when he climbs to his perch on the shelf. The cloth is numbered and lettered in duplicate of the mirror, and the boy is armed with powerful magnet. The fly is of cork, with an iron core. which is set flat against the glass in a lowered corner of the mirror, where it is held by the magnet. It is evident from this arrangement that by moving the mag net to the square called for the fly will be seen to travel to exactly the same spot.

SCHEME TO DEFRAUD Ex-sLAvEs.
Southern Negroes Become Victims of
n Pension SwindIe.
Washington Special to ST. Louis Globe Dem

Information has reached the Pension Blu
reau of a big scheme started by pension
sharks to defraud the ex-slaves Of the
South A great many of these negroes have
undoubtedly been already swindled. The
scheme is based upon bill introduced by
Senator Thurston over year ago to pen
sion ex-slaves. The Pension Bureau has
learned that agents of certain organizations
have been travelling through the South and
obtaining from ex-siaves fees for the alleged
fling and prosecution of pension claims.
Three agencies have been located. One of
them is located at Madison, Ark another
is located at Nashville Tenn. and a third
is located at Union City Tenn The de-
partment has already succeeded in convict
ing three men, and the most important ar
rest is that of ]. II. Harris who is to be
tried next April for alleged ENFORCEMENT
in obtaining money from eX-slaves upon
the promise of securing for them pension.
The following circular letter has been sent
to agents Of one of the organizations:
"Sir-This bureau is advised that you are
an agent for the. Ex-Slave Petitioners AS
sembly organized with view to securing
registration granting pensions to ex-slaves.
While any class of citizens has an unques-
toned right to associate for the purpose of
attempting TO secure legislation believed to
be advantageous. it is an unfortunate fact
that certain impostors have taken advan-
tage of the organization of the United
States Assembly and of similar associations
to prey upon the innocent through false and
fraudulent representations On FEB; 6. 1896,
a bill was introduced into the United States
Senate by which 1t was proposed to grant
such pensions. This bill was read twice.
referred TO the committee on pensions ana
Vailed on the adjournment of the Fifty
fourth Congress. and there is no provision
of law under which an eX-slave can be pen
stoned as such.
This bureau has received many COM
plants that certain unprincipled persons
have been travelling through the Southern
States representing that the bill had become
a law; that various sums had been appro-
priated 10 pay the pensioners hereunder,
and that they were officers Of the govern
ment Of the United States, fully authorized
and empowered to cause the names of ex-
slaves to be inscribed upon the pension rolls;
and under cover of these false and fraudu-
lent representatives these impostors have
collected various small sums from their
dupes. and by doing have rendered them
selves liable to a fine of not more than 81 900,
or to Imprisonment of no longer than three
years or both, in the discretion of the court,
under the provisions Of the act of April is,
1884 This bureau would appreciate any in
formation which you may be able to furnish
as TO the name and whereabouts of any per-
son who has thus impersonated an officer
OF the government in connection with this
matter"

AS long our statesmen have free-will

hydrographers-and We would hold that sta
ton, by battle if need be, against all the
world but we would have nothing to do
with governing tens of millions Of Chinese.

work could not be done effectively without
legions of cavalry; we have not the small
est evidence that the people would aid us
effectively, and IT they did not the back
