woRMsER A CLEVER swINDLER.
Confcsses to Numerous Frauds Fer
ncfrnIed in New OrIenns.

Baltimore, June 17.-The arrest in this
city of Morris wormser. who claims to be
a nephew of Isidore Wormser. led to his
confession TO charge of cashing worth
less drafts in New Orleans.
The incidents that have come to light
since his arrest stamp the man as re-
markable adyenturer. Suave. handsome,
widely Travelled, he speaks five languages
with great fuency, and has the bearing OF
a polished man of the world.
Wormser registered at the Hotel Grune-
wald. in New Orleans, May l, as N. c.
Wiley, of Havana. He said he was a
wealthy planter and a member of the firm
of Atkinson & Co.
On MAY "a Wormser, or Wiley, persuad-
ed Mr.. Grunewald, the proprietor of The
hotel. to cash two checks. aggregating $i0O.
Wormser left the city and was arrested
here last Wednesday.
It has since developed that an encounter
with broker in New Orleans, whom, 1t is
! said, he had previously fieeced of $500
caused his precipitate flight. His former
| escapade in the Crescent City was in 1888
In February of that year the broker receiy-
| ed visit from Morris Wormser. whom he
! had met socially in this city. AT that Time
! Wormser's standing was apparently I'M
| questionable. He explained TO the broker
! that he was en- route for Mexico TO pur-
chase large coffee plantations.
The day before his departure for Mexico
| he dropped in at the brokers' Office and
requested the cash on a draft for $500
/ drawn on l. & S. Wormser's bank. II was
promptly given him, and request the nt X
morning for 800 more was also honored
! That evening he left the city.
Both drafts we're returned unpaid. The
astounded broker wired the Wormsei
| Brothers and received the following briei
reply:

| tions with NJ. Wormser" second tele-
| gram brought the information that Morris

TO TABOO PRETTY SPONSORS.
Confederate Veterans Claim That
They MonopOIi1e Attention.

Columbia, S. c.. June 1.-THE question
is being agitated here of dispensing with
the young and pretty sponsors OF camps
and other organizations at Confederate re-
unions After the Charleston gathering
sponsors monopolized the time of the re-
union more attention being paid to them
than to the old soldiers, and that the re-
union was broken into by numerous social
functions at times when business should
be done. When in the auditorium it was
said the sponsors held receptions in the
rear OF the hall and distracted attention.
It is now suggested that each camp elect
its sponsor from among the widows of
Confederate soldiers. The Sons of Vete-
rams say they are willing that the old or
ganizations take that course If they wish.
but girls will be their sponsors and maids
of honor.

that he declared: My condemnation and

The Hawaiian Islands are an example
OF commercial development under a close
or protected system. It was in 1866 that
the islands first touched an interest Of
81. 900 900 in our import trade, chiefly
through the whale fisheries, as they made
a convenient stopping place for Ameri-
can whalers. The interest was not dou-
bled until the reciprocity treaty went into
effect Qs70, and sugar, became the great
article of commerce, with rice as the
second in importance, but representing
only one-tenth the value Of the sugar.
The granting OF free entry into the
United States for these two products IS
equivalent to remitting 10 the Hawaiian
planters the sum Of s1,OOO,OOO year, every
dollar Of which acted as a bounty on
production. 1t was natural to find that
so liberal a gift was soon appreciated.
and the energies Of the islands were di-
rected into laying out plantations OF SUE
gar and rice. As rice proved Of uncertain
profit the cultivation for export has not
prospered. although the domestic con-
sumption increased through the influx
OF Asiatics. The exports Of this grain
were 2.25OOOO pounds in 1876, attained a
maximum of ls,sa,2OO pounds in 1887, and
are now about 100000 pounds a year.
