FAKlR CLEVERLY CAUGHT
Claimed TO REPR ESENT CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE..

| Visited Business Men and Wanted to
Write Them Up for an illustrated Book
Which He Claimed the Chamber ED.
dorsed Told President Ford That a
Special Meeting Had Been Held to Dis.
cuss the Book.
The merchants and business men OF
New Haven, as well as those of other
cities, must be continually on their
guard against sharpers and swindlers
of all kinds who are continually on the
lookout for chances to coax the dollars
from the pockets of honest men by
means of schemes and misrepresenta-
tons. Some of these schemes are in
genous to say the least and seemingly
ingenious enough to disarm the suspicion
of the most careful. Among the schemes
with which local merchants have had
to deal during the last few years some
of the most dangerous have been adver-
Using schemes
Now 1T appears that within the last
few days such a scheme has been
worked how successfully remains to be
seen. 1t seems that man has been
going about the city calling upon bust
ness men and soliciting from them
authority to write up their business for
publication in a large illustrated book
which the solicitor represented as being
backed by the chamber of commerce.
For the promised write up the fakir
asks $25. One day last week the fellow
called at the store of Sheahan &
Groark, plumbers on State street. and
unfolded his scheme. He said that at
ter the book was completed and pub
l!shed the chamber of commerce was to
take several hundred copies and dis
tribute them while several large firms
in the city were to purchase large guam
titles for distribution. He showed
list of names of those who had gone
into the scheme and among others said
that the J. B. Sargent company and the
L. Candee company had ordered write
ups in the book. Leaving the fellow in
the store talking with his partner, Mr..
Sheahan went to the store of the George
HI. Ford company at the corner of
SIuISl anu pidle SlTtelS 10 ASK NIeHGTdl
Ford who is president of the chamber
of commerce, about the proposed book.
He was told by General Ford that he
knew nothing about the scheme. Presi-
dent Ford then decided to go to Sheahan
u Groark's and investigate. He ac-
cordingly accompanied Mr.. Sheahan to
the latters store and stepping behind a
desk there proceeded to listen to what
the fakir had to say.
General Ford finally asked him a few
questions in regard to the scheme and
was told that a special meeting of the
chamber of commerce had been held a
few days before to endorse it. General
Ford then overwhelmed him with point
ed questions and the fellow was para
lyzed. After advising Mr.. Sheahan to
get the fakir's name, General Ford left
the office. Soon after however, and be-
fore his name could be learned the fell
low skunk out of the store and has not
been heard of plying his business
since.

#. III. MACDONALD CHOSEN
Chairman of Republican Town Conn
mittee-A Complimentary Dinner. n

mtttee-A complimentary Dinner,
| At meeting held by the republican
town committee Saturday night Theo-
man of the committee to succeed
James H. Macdonald, who resigned a
short time ago. The meeting was held
in the republican headquarters in the
Hoadley building and representatives
from all the wards in the city were
present. Mr. Macdonald was the only
candidate for chairman proposed and
after several speeches highly compl
mentary of him had been made, he was
chosen unanimously.
Messrs. We'll of the Seventh ward and
Grannis Of the Fourteenth ward were
appointed a committee to apprise Mr..
Macdonald of his election and escort
him to the committee room. They found
him at the Young Mems Republican
club and returned with him to the COM
mittee room, where he was received
with enthusiastic cheers and shouts of
welcome. Appropriate speeches follow
ed. Chairman Macdonald said that al
though his election was a great surprise
to him, he would strive to perform the
duties of the position in a manner wor-
thy of the party and of himself
The selection OF Mr. Macdonald as
chairman is generally looked upon as a
wise one. He has had considerable ex-
perience in local politics and has served
for three years as secretary of the town
committee. Taken altogether his politi-
cal training, wide acquaintance, affabil-
ity of manner, and thorough-going
methods would seem to especially fit
him for the position to which he has
just been chosen. He is at present chief
clerk of the beard of assessors and Sec
rotary of the Young Mems Republican
club.
The town committee has decided to
tender complimentary dinner to ex-
Chairman James H. Macdonald The
dinner will be held at Heublein's on
January 10. Chairman Theodore H.
Macdonald will be POSTMASTER.

A COSTLY DRESS,
TO BE Composed Exclusively of Pre-
ciOus Stones and Precious
Metals.

Of course 1t comes from Parasitic
home of strangely eXtravagant ideas A
young lady of noble family is deter
mined to get up a costume far more
gorgeous than any ever before worn by
women. She is now having the designs
made according to her notions. She
was acquainted with the theory that
added brilliancyis given to jewels by the
sheen of a healthy skin, having often
noticed the fact that diamonds and
pearls flash most brightly on shining
necks and shoulders. She has, there
fore, given orders for an entire costume
to be made of nothing but precious
stones and precious metals, says the
NeN FORK Herald.
The pearls, diamonds and rubies are
to be so set that they will be in imme-
date contact with the wearer's skin
The lower part of the costume will be
almost solid, the gold and silver being
beaten very thin, so as to be extremely
pliable and light. The arms, hands, feet,
neck and shoulders are to be almost
covered with loops of pearls, stars of
diamonds, and rings of all kinds. The
breast will shine with stars and cres-
cents of rubies, emeralds and diamonds
The rest of the body will be covered
with pliable bands of woven gold, on
which jewels will glisten like dew
drops.
Many of the brilliants will be pur~
chased in the rough and cut into the
shapes which bestaccord with the places
in which they are to be set. That the
costume when finished will cost large
fortune goes without saying.

PERHAPS NOT FRAGRANT.
How Some Onions That Had Gone to
Seed Created Mild
Sensation.

A bicycling party was pursuing it's
leisurely way along delightful coun-
try road the other day, when it came to
a particularly well-kept kitchen gar
den. A patch of most interesting grow
ing things ran beside the fence for
distance Of 40 feet. There were innu-
merable stalks bearing aloft globes of
90 different exquisite shades of gray
ish green and grayish purple, which
were so striking that the party dis
mounted with one accord, says the
Philadelphia American.
How decorativei" said one OF the
men.
what lovely color!" said one of the
girls.
''They would do to paint" said the
artist.
won't you please tell us what those
beautiful things are?'' asked the girl.
The gardener glanced around in
amazement, and then simply said:
Which?''
why, these things growing along the
fence here. 1 never saw anything like
them"
A plying smile spread slowly over
the gardeners features.
"Them?" he answered with chuckle.
'Them's onions gone to seed

SPANISH WASHERS.
Their Brazen EGrOntery on the Prin-
cipaI ThrOughfares of
Spain's Cities.

Madrid streets are by no means alto
we'll kept, but others are narrow, dirty
and malodorous. Worst of all, to my own
thinking, is the Madrid stare, which,
hardly less offensive than the Paris stare,
is more universal, says Madrid CORE
spondent of the New York Times. 1t
is amusing to see how fearlessly a
maiden of 10 years sallies forth alone,
while many Madrid spinsters of 80
would not 60 block unattended.
But why do you mind?'' said high
bred Madrid lady to me with puzzled
look. MEN have their own heads full
of this Stiffness and they suppose'wom-
en- are as foolish as themselves. They
are much more careful, too, with for
eigners than with u.s. Another lady,
who, under stress of family misfor-
tune, was taking few boarders, told
me that she had never received Spanish
gentlemen because of her daughters.
Foreign gentlemen, the Germans,
English and Americans whom [ have
had here" she said, ''are very strange
about that, but it is much nicer. They
treat the girls as friends and show the
same respect the last day as the first.
Of Spaniards that couldn't be expected.
Our young men are all for lovemaking
and such nonsense. And my daughters
have no father or brothers to protect
them"
THAT very fact ought to be their per-
feet protection with gentlemen" said.
"Oh, Spaniards are gentlemen" she
Loyalty FASTENED to declare. ''They are
the most gallant gentlemen in the
world. The trouble is they are a lit
tie too gallant
Madrid is better than the cities of
Andalusia and worse than the cities of
northern Spain in its trea tment of wom-
en-. A young Spanish girl cannot walk
alone, however sedately, in Seville, with
out running fire of salutations: ooh,
the pretty facet" What cheeks of
roses!" BLESSED be thy mother,'
Give me little smile." And even in
Madrid Spanish girls of my acquaint-
ance have broken their fans across the
faces of men who tried to snatch kiss
in passing.
