SOME FAMOUS FRAUDS.

Tie sensational announcement that
the Keely motor, the promise of
whose marvellous powers has for a
score of years thrilled the exPectant
world, turns out to have been fraud
from beginning to end, as most people
believed it was, sustained by all man
ner of cunning devices, of which the
public has so far received an inkllng
calls to mind numerous notable deceP
tions that have from time to time been
perpetrated upon our shrewd, hard
headed and astute modern civilization.
The most dazzling swindle ever per-
petrated upon trusting public was
launched in San Francisco oil the lst
OF August, 1872, when it went literal
iy crazy with excitement over the an
nouncement made by men whose very
names seemed to carry convincing
proof of its reliability that diamond
fields Of inconceivable richness had
been discovered in Northwestern Col
orado at point about forty-Gye miles
south of Black Butte and near the
Wyoming line. That very evening a
formal meeting was solemnly called at
the Grand Hotel, to which members
Of the press were invited, and George
D Roberts, speaking for the associates
entered into detailed explanation of
the new discoveries, stating that the
tract covered not less than 1000 acres,
and that mere surface prospecting with
4 pan in the hands of two men had re-
suited in the recovery of between $5O,-
900 and 100000 worth of precious
stones, comprising diamonds of the
purest water, rubies, garnets, sap
phires, amethysts and emeralds.

RICH DIAMOND FIELD.

lie presented report from the CeI-
ebrated local mining expert, Henry
Janin, who had carefully examined
the ground within a limit of 100 acres
and defined its character as gem
producing region in glowing terms.
Roberts added that h4 would decline
to give private reports which he had
received as to it, richness, but that
with two mountain streams close by,
whose waters could be utilized for
hydraulic washing, the future devel-
opment os the district was almost be-
yond the power of man to compute,
His assertions were supported by such
men as William C. Balston, Thomas
Bell, Milton S. Latham, Albert GansA
Gen. David D. Cotton, William f.
Babcock, Thomas II. Selby, Louis
Sloss, William NJ Lent, Maurice Dore,
A. Hsrpending General Dodge and S.
L. NJ. Barlow and George B McClel-
ian, of New York, all of whom were
directly interested in the San Fran
cisco and New York Mining and Com
merclal Company, which had been in
corporated to develop the diamond
fields, and all of whom had sincere
faith in the discovery. Fifteen thous-
and shares of stock were issued, at a
par value of $40, and in less than
twenty-four hours all had been sub
scribed for and people were crying
for more. Ralston accepted the office
of treasurer on the condition that all
the stock should remain in his hands
until the presence of the precious
stone. should be verified by the
highest authority, and this fact saved
many of San Franciscos first citizens
from hopeless ruin. Clarence King
was called upon to make a searching
examination of the field, and stimuli
taneously J. F. Berry, well known
mining expert and operator of San
Francisco, undertook personal In
spection of the ground on his own ac-
count. Berry, who was somewhat OF
connoisseur in gems, at once pro-
nounced the diamonds to be gems from
the Cape of Good Hope, with few
Rio Janeiro stones, and Clarence

days later, confirmed the growing ap'
prehension that the whole scheme was
a swindle, perpetratei by Arnold and

lied Arnold, acting for the trio, had
bought fifty pounds Of spinelle rubies,
garnets, sapphires and other stones
from the Indians at Fort Defiance, a.
T, and, with ZOO worth of rough
diamonds and other precious stones
previously purchased in London, had
carefully selected the Colorado field
with a view to it's favorable gsolOgI-
cal conditions, and spent several days
in sailing the tract after most Plaus-
ible and scientific plan.
Then they decoyed Louis Jania, Mr..
Harpending and General Dodge to
the fields, artfully demonstrated the
presence of the gems, surveyed the
ground, elected General Dodge record
er of the Galconda district, and the
most picturesque swindle of the cen
tury was artlsrically launched.
ALsATIAN CHEMISTS.
Foremost in the ranks Of the world s
swindlers probably stands Alfred Pa
raf, native of Alsace, handsome, pol
ished, well educated, noted for his
keen intelligence and ready wit, as
well as his manly qualities. He was
remarkably proficient iu chemistry,
taking genuine delight in the study
in his youth, and following his early
education with a series of chemical
experiments in his own laboratory.
After he left school he set out upon
his travels, and, having exhausted the
funds allowed him by his father IN
prohigate expenditure, he found HIM
self stranded in Glasgow. This incl
dent may be said to have launched
the clever young fellow upon the ca
reer he afterward pursued to his even
tusl disgrace and downfall. He en-
gagged the most elegant suit Of rooms
in the most fashionable hotel, visited
firm of wealthy manufacturers and
announced himself as the discoverer
of a new and cheap dye for calico
printing. Plunging into the labora-
tory of the establishment, the brilliant
young fellow actually succeeded In
supporting his assertions and was re-
warded with $4,000 in gold for the
right to the use of his new colorlng
process. This sum was soon dlssIpa-
tel iu new extravagances, and, again
reduced to sore straits, he compound
ed new color and sold the secret of
the dye to his uncle, a rich manulac-
turer in Paris, for $4,000 francs.

Crippled by
Rheumatism.

Those who have Rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all
the while. One reason of this is that
the remedies prescribed by the doctors
contain mercury and potash, which ul-
timately intensity the disease by caus-
ing the joints to swell and stiffen,
producing severe aching of the bones.
s. S. s. has been curing Rheumatism
for twenty years-even the worst cases
which seemed almost incurable.
Capt. o. L. Hughes, the popular railroad
conductor, OF Columbia, S. c., had an expert
ence with rheumatism which convinced him

Everybody knows that Rheumatism
is a diseased state of the blood, and
only blood remedy is the only proper
treatment, but a remedy containing
potash and mercury only aggravates
the trouble.
