HIS SINS FOUND HIM OUT.
The Cheekered Career of a Man WI"
Founded Bogus Diamond
Mine I'm Arizona.

"I saw a reference the other day to
the great Arizona diamond field swim
dle," said an old jeweler to New Or
leans Times-Democrat man. 1T was
sprung on the public just 30 years
ago, and I remember the excitement 1t
created. The originator of the scheme
came from New Orleans. He was
brilliant man, a chemist, geologist and
natural diplomat, but he lacked moral
counterpoise. He and his associates
procured number of uncut stones
from Holland, and 'salted' a canyon
IN the mountain south of the Gila river.
Then followed the discovery and the
organization of q company and in a
few months nearly 100000 worth Of
stock was sold. 1t was several years
before the exact character of the swim
die was developed, and by that time the
affairs of the company were SO con-
fused that nobody cared to undertake a
prosecution.
81 saw the professor as he was
called, at Ogden, Utah, in 1854, and he
described the whole affair with great
glee. Afterward he was mixed up in
two other shady enterprises. One was
scheme for aging whisky and the
other was a device for refining sugar
by electricity. Both were fakes, but
he made lot of money out Of them, and
as usual escaped punishment. 1t was
the old story, however; he went broke
in the end and died few years ago in
the charity ward of a Chicago hospital
A good deal of the diamond mine stock
was taken in New Orleans, and dare
say some Of it is kicking around here
to this day."

the doubling up of the suburban free
delivery (post office service in this

all persons who desire to engage in
the business must pass a satisfactory

THE TRADE CONDITIONS.

Bradstreet's says to-day; Satisfac-
tory trade and price condition appar-
emily still reign. So few, in fact, are
the reports OF poor trade that favor
able reports may be said to be almost
unanimous. An expanded volume Of
Fan trade is indicated by the aggre-
gate Of bank clearings for the week,
though reports. from some markets
point to the greatest rush being over.
Prices as rule maintain all their
former strength, decreases being few
and relatively unimportant. In several
lines, notably the cereals, cotton, pc
troleum, iron and steel, the tendency
has been toward higher levels. Cotton
has been notably strong and active.
Short crop estimates are becoming
more generally current, and bearish
estimates Of maximum yields have
been practically discarded, more espe-
cially as it is claimed that agents Of
English spinners are heavy buyers at
the South, and domestic nanufactur-
ing conditions are known to be in a
high decree favorable.
STEADY demand for export and conf
dence in all Of this years wheat crop
being needed, have proved stimulating
In the face OF heavy receipts and ad-
mittedly large present supplies. Posi-
biIity OF war in the Transvaal, too, has
been an additionally Strengthening
feature. Iron and steel are higher on
a moderate volume of new business
and the steady placing OF orders indi-
Gates confidence in present values well
on into the middle OF next year. Pie
iron, however, is nearer a parity with
consumption, the ultimate effects Of
enhanced quotations upon demand arc
not yet settled. and imports from
abroad, while not likely to be Of heavy
volume Immediately, are a feature
which may have to be dealt with mex

reflected in still higher prices, ant

EMBEzzIED SISTERS MONEY
IKITTs INVESTED TRUST FUNDS IN.
HIS OWN NAME AND LOST.

KITS INVESTED TRUST FUNDS IN
HIS OWN NAME AND LOST.
Media, Pa, Sept. 2S.-John L. Kits,
of Media, was convicted in court here
last evening on the charge of embez-
element.
He was appointed under his fathers
will as trustee for his sister and was
directed to pay his sister the income of
s4O94.26. He complied with the con-
tents of the will until June of 1896,
when he informed his sister that he
could not keep up the payments.
The Media Title and Trust Company
was then appointed trustee, but Kits
had none of the trust estate left. he
having put the money in a property at
Brandywine Summit and entered the
grocery business. Land deprecated
and so did his business, and Kits lost
the entire trust money. The mistake
was in investing the money in his own
name and not as trustee. The jury rec
commended him to the mercy of the
court.

HALL COMPANY MUST WHISTLE
BY A CLEVER RUSE FIVE TYPE
WRITER'S WERE SAVED FROM A
FINANCIAL WRECK.


BY resorting to a clever ruse the
Remington typewriter people saved
three typewriters and the Smith-Pre-
mier people two from the wreck Of Pro-
fessor Fdtzsimmons Business College,
in Masonic Temple.
The college was not founded by the
professor. He purchased it from its
founder, and, after doing so, discovered
that he had a bag of trouble contain
ing a padded list of students, an un-
paid rent account and several unpaid
salary accounts. There were five type
writer's in the outfit, and they were un-
paid for.
Deciding to quit and get out, the pro-
fessor advised the typewriter people
that. if they wanted to save the ma
chine from the rent claim of the Ma
sonic Hall Company, they had better
act, and act quickly.
An attorney was employed and sew
eral assistants provided. By mutual
agreement the college door was left
open. The combine waited until the
night watchman had gone over 10 a
neighboring saloon for a drink, when
they ran into the temple, entered the
college, picked up the typewriters and
carried them out. They were immedi-
ately shipped to Philadelphia. The ruse
was not discovered until next morning
and now the hall company must whis-
tie for its rent.

TEA FoR LITTLE FoLK.

delightful tea last evening for their
Eve grandchildren at their home,
Eighth and Washington streets. Miss
Daisy c. Moore assisted in receiving
the small guests. Last year Colonel

the grandchildren tea," and the oc-
casion was such happy one, especially
to the children, that 1t was decided to
repeat it annually. Thus it was that
the function was held yesterday. The
grandchildren present were Miss Helen
Estelle Robb, Robert Dayton Smith,
Miss Edith Mabelle Moore, Enoch
Moore, Sd, and Alfred Raymond Rus
sell. All were presented with bon-bon
hats which were worn during the even

The tea table was set with small
dishes for the grandchildren and bou-
quets of "cut flowers" added to the
pretty scene. Tea was served by Miss
Helen E. Robb, assisted by Robert ID,
Smith. While thus grouped a fash
light OF the party was taken by George
b. Moore. Later In the evening the
children amused themselves by playing

USE OF TOoTHPIcKs
THESE ARTICLES HAVE TO BE
USED, BUT NOT IN PUBLIC.

4dEoE ANTILLES HAVE 10 BE
USED, BUT NOT IN PUBLIC.
Imagine a lady in faultless attire,
handsome and admirable, with a tooth
pick in her mouth. The spectacle is
not pleasing. Or imagine a dinner
party, the last course of which con-
sists of toothpicks handed around by
the walters and then applied by the
whole company The sight is perfectly
Every civilized man, wo-
man and child has a right to use a
toothpick, but have they the right to use
toothpicks to the discomfort of others?
And to fine organizations the visible
use OF the toothpick in public shows
either that he is not aware of the an
Inoyance which he gives to others. or he
,defes good manners and perfers to be
set down indelicate and gross.
The same rule applies with double
force to woman, for women are the
natural and conventional guardians Of
good manners. When sensible men are
in doubt on a matter Of politeness or
propriety they consult a lady. What,
then can be said Of a lady who car
ries a tothpick in her mouth? She
might as well rinse her mouth or brush
her teeth in public. The truth is that
the associations of a toothpick are
necessarily indelicate. for the tooth
pick reminds one Of bad teeth or food
particles held in the wrong place. The
toothpick is. therefore, toilet article
and ranks with the toothbrush. tn,
nail cleaner or the earspoon. These
articles have to be used, but not in
public. Every hand is marred by un-
clean finger nails, but the nails ought
not 10 be cleaned in public. Nor should
teeth be brushed OF picked in public
In hotel lobbies there are always mer
(not really gentlemen), and, alasl oc-
casionally women, with a toothpick In
their mouth. Quite likely these same
persons eat with their knives and cuf
their finger nails at the table But IN
this matter their example is not com
dable.-Whitehead

The struggle between the Yaqui In

been inevitable ever since the construe-
tion Of the Mexican Central railroad
brought civilization within an easy
march of the Yaqui territory. With
the extension OF the area Of gold dis

be longer averted and it will have mel

ably the last stand of the red man on

GRoUPER AND PARROT FISH.
The characteristics of one striking
Iy Displayed in the Tank of
the Others.

The Bermuda groupers are so called
on account of their habit of grouping
together. There are plenty of fishes
that on occasions by accident or design
may come together side by side, or in
some other regular order Or formation,
but there are few if any that get to-
gether as the groupers do. In the tank
of groupers at the aquarium, says the
New York Sun, these fishes may be-seen,
half a dozen or more of them at time,
ranged along the glass at the front of
the tank, heads all TO the front, and
with their bodies tapping one another
diagonally with uniform regularity.
Sometimes at feeding time they stand,
or rather suspend themselves in the wa
ter side by side, in a uniform rank,
heads up. near the surface, and wait
there for the man with the food. whose
step they may have heard on the plat
form back of the tanks.
A curious illustration Of the fishes
tendency TO group was shown in an
other way. Into a tank in which there
were two parrot fishes there was put
also a grouper. One of these parrot
fishes was not feeling very lively; in
stead of swimming around it lay on the
bottom Of the tank, over in one corner,
just breathing and taking things easy.
This was the grouper's opportunity,
and it stretched itself out on the bot
tom Of the tank right alongside the par
rot fish and as close TO it as II could get,
and stayed there.
