ALLEGED SWINDLERS ARRESTED.
Charged With Obtaiuing Money from
Readers of fAlluring Advertisements.


New York. Feb. 10.-United States
Marshal Henkel this afternoon arrested
a man and two women who, 1t Is SAID
by the police inspectors, are concerned
in an extensive scheme for obtaining
money from the readers of alluring ad-
vertisements. The arrests were made
on bench warrants issued by Judge
Webb of the United States circuit court
of Maine on indictments found by the
federal grand jury for the district Of
Maine. The persons arrested are Will
liam E. Skinner, manager Of the Saw
yer Publishing company at Waterville
Me-, who has an office in this city;
Mrs. Viola H. Rae, the proprietor of
the Helen Marke company, superflu-
Gus hair-removing concern, also with
offices in this city, and Mrs. A. HI. Wing,
the mother of Mrs. Rae. They were
taken before Commissioner Shields and
were held in $4,000 bail each for hear
ing tomorrow. Mrs. Wing furnished a
bond but the others were unable to do
so and were locked up in Ludlow street
Jail.
The indictments found by the Maine
grand jury charge the defendants with
violating sections 5440 and 5S40 of the
United States revised statutes defining
conspiracy and schemes to defraud 1t
is charged that they organized the
Fairfield Floral company of Fairfield,
Me-, with an alleged capital of $100,0CO,
advertising extensively to give a $25
course of instruction absolutely free of
charge on sending two postage stamps.
Those who answered this advertisement
found that they were required to send
thirty-two cents additional and to pur-
chase q beginners outfit" for $2.10 and
finally that they were required to pur-
chase fifty dozen of artificial Bengal
rosebuds for the sum of $1.10. All
this money would be returned to the
employers when they had opened all
these buds and returned them to the
company, together with S25 for the work
done. One of the witnesses who ap-
peared before the Maine grand jury
testified that 2650O0 replies had been
received by the manager and that the
great majority of those who had replied
were satisfied to lose the original money
deposited by them with the company
rather than risk the large sum eventu-
ally demanded.

TROUBLE At POLO GAME.
Police Called in to Remove Captain
COtter From Floor.


The polo game between Hartford and
New Haven last night was conspicuous
for one thing, and that was the great
amount of excitement caused by the
players from the Capital city in their
eagerness to win at all hazards From
the very start of the game it became
evident that there was likely to be
trouble in the camp by the unwarrant-
ed manner in which Everett interfered
with Bone and Whipple in their endea-
vors to score. Harrington, who was
referee overlooked the rough tactics
for a short time, but ultimately had to
call couple of fouls on the half back,
and on his perssting fined him 50. 1t
was not, however, until the last period
that matters assumed a serious atti-
tude New Haven by clever play had
Cotter and his men all ratified and kept
adding to their goal total until the
score was tied. Then Whipple manag-
ed to send the. ball past Cusick during
a scrimmage, and this put the Blues
ahead.
At this stage the fun began. Mooney,
a fresh rusher, was put on the floor to
aid the Hartford team. Bone got the
ball in the corner and in his endeavor
to get hold of it Mooney used question:
able tactics with Bone, which Referee
Harrington presnptly tried to put an
end to by fining the player $5. Then
Cotter got into the muss and he was
likewise fined the same amount and Or
dered off the surface. Here Referee
Harrington called the police to his aid,
but Cotter left the floor without the aid
of physical force. Score: New Haven 9,

FRENCH EXPEDIENCY COURT
THE CREATION OF ONE IN THE
DREYFUS CASE.
Threatened by Adoption of Govern
ment's Revision Bil1-Reje jected ON This
Account by COmmission-On Arrival
at Such n Creation There iB no Further
Security for Anyone.

Paris, Feb. 10.-There was much ex-
citement in the chamber of deputies to-
day in anticipation of the debate on the
governments revision bill, for which
the premier M. Dupuy, had asked ur-
gency. Immediately after the opening
of the session M. Renault- -Morliere, the
reporter of the commission having the
| revision bill in charge, said that the
commission had rejected the measure
because when one arrived at the crea-
tion of courts of expediency there was
no further security for any one"
Such proposals, the reporter added,
always aroused indignation and he ask
ed what could be the motive of the bill
since the accusations brought by M.
Quesnay De Beaurepaire, the former
president Of the civil section of the
court of cessation, against the criminal
section of that body had been acknowl-
edged to be erroneous. M. Renault-
Morliere concluded with asserting that
the adoption of the bill would be useless
and sign of weakness also remarking
that ito honor the army it is not nee
essary to dishonor the magistrature."
After the minister of justice, M. Le-
bret, had briefly defended the BILL M.
Millerand, radical socialist representing
the First district of the Seine, made a
lively speech, during which he opposed
the measure on the ground set forth in
the open letter to the government sign
ed by a score of deputies and a number
of former cabinet ministers, who de-
clared their intention to uphold the su-
preme principles of justice as above all
attack. The letter asserted that there
was no necessity to deprive the criminal
section of the court Of cessation of the
right of rendering judgment in the
Dreyfus case. M Milerand aroused an
immense uproar by saying that the re-
publicans only had to note who were
backing the bill and the present agita-
tion to know where their duty lay. The
bill was eventually adopted by vote
of 1872 to PIG.

Cabinet Agrees the Cubnns can nave
Any Kind of Money They Wish.
Washington, Feb. 10.-At the cabinet
meeting to-day the president read brief
extracts from the report of the war in
yestigating commission and the matter
was discussed informally. During the
conversation, a can Of roast beef, which
had been taken from the commissary
army stores, was brought in and OPP
ened. The members present examined it
as well as could be done with the means
at hand and all declared that so far
as they could determine it was in per-
feet condition, wholesome and sweet.
The question of the transportation to
Cuba of the s3,OOO0o0 with which the
insurgent army is to paid off and the
kinds of money to be sent was briefly
considered. 1t was agreed that the Gu
bans could have any kind OF money they
wished, whether gold, silver or silver
certificates or part in each. Shipments
of $5O0OO0 will be made each trip.
Question of Extra Session.
The question of an extra session Of
congress was also discussed and it is the
opinion of members Of the cabinet that
in case of the failure of the army re-
organization bill passing an extra ses-
sion will be necessary. The president
during the meeting called attention to
the urgent necessity for an American
cable across the Pacific and read the
message to congress which he had pre-
pared on teh subject. Members OF the
cabinet declare that the report of the
war commission to be in no sense a
vvhitewa ehirg report. On the contrary,
IT is stated the commission has not
failed to point out where there was er-
rors or fault. For instance, it has not
passed without criticism the arrange
ments made for transportation of troops
much discussed question as to the char
and medical supplies. Touching the
character of the meat furnished to the
army, the commission declares that the
food generally was of good quality and
censures General Miles for his alleged
failure to acquaint the war department
with the faults said by him to have
been discovered at Porto Rico.

Should be Taken for the Establish
ment of Cable system Before Con-
gress Adtourns Two Methods Suggest
Themselves.
Washington, Feb. 10.-The presidents
message on the Pacific cable, transmit
ted to congress to-day, is as follows:
AS a consequence of the ratification OF
the treaty of Paris by the senate of the
United States and it's expected ratifica-
ton by the Spanish government, the
United States will come into possession
of the Philippine islands, on the farther
shores of the Pacific. The Hawaiian
territory and forming convenient stop
ping places on the way across the sea,
the necessity for speedy cable conmu-
nication between the United States and
all these Pacific islands has become i'm
perative. Such communication should
be established in such way as to be
wholly under the control of the United
States, whether in time of peace or war.
At present the Philippines can be
reached only by cables which pass
through many foreign countries, and
the Hawaiian islands and Guam can
only be communicated with by steam
ers, involving delays in each instance
of at least a week. The present condl-
tions should not be allowed to continue
for a moment longer than is absolutely
necessary.
The time has now arrived when a ca
BILE in the Pacific must extend as far as
Manila, touching at the Hawaiian ISL
ands and Guam on the way. Two meth
DDS of establishing this cable commune
cation at once suggest themselves
first, construction and maintenance OF
such cable at the expense of the Unit
ed States government, and, second, con-
struction and maintenance of such a
cable by private United States corpor-
alton under such safeguards as con-
gress shall impose. / do not make any
recommendations as to which of these
methods would be the more desirable.
A cable of the length of that proposed

and laying that 1t is estimated that at
least two years must elapse after Civ
ing the order for the cable before the
entire system could be successfully laid
and put in operation Further deepsea
soundings must be taken west Of the
Hawaiian islands before the best route
for the cable can be selected. Under
these circumstances 1T becomes aspara-
mount necessity that measures should
be taken before the close of the present
congress to provide such means as may
seem suitable for the establishment Of
cable system. I commend the whole
subject to the careful consideration of
the congress and to such prompt action
as may seem advisable.

CHARACTER IN HATS.
Amateur DivinntiOns by Very Strange
Means Now the Fad In
Chicago.

Character reading is the very latest
fashionable diversion of social Chicago.
Not professional character reading, but
amateur divination by society people
themselves. The old style palmistry is
now supplemented by character read
ing by means of study of q persons
handwriting, of his facial lines and ex-
pressions, of his walk, of even the
clothes he wears, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
IL can tell more about woman's
personality by examining her shoes
and hat than by watching her face"
remarked clever man the other day.
81 always look first at her shoes, then
at her skirt ana finally at her hat. The
waist or coat | never remark at all.
Sometimes / am mistaken in the shoes,
because the pair may be new and stiff
and have not had n chance to become
part of the individual.
But the hat is never debatable ter
ritory. Its shape, its trimming, it's
size and the way it is placed on the
head all tell something of the owners
personality. y hat is to me the typical
straw that denotes the outlines Of the
wearer's character"
