A "KOSCHER" SWINDLE.
PLAN OF CUNNING RASCALS TO GET
MONEY FROM EAST SIDE
MERCHANTS.

Popular ignorance to the dietary laws OF
the orthodox Jews has given couple of cunning
rascals opportunity to swindle some OF the
merchants of NewYork and vicinity Nearly
every who reads the daily papers knows
that the orthodox Jews eat only 'koscher' meat,
and that according to the laws which they OBJ
serve many food articles which are considered
wholesome and palatabe by others are known
as "uncean" to them. and may not even be
brought into the house. But the fact that the
swinders have been able to use this as a basis
for their operations shows that the average
mans knowledge on the subject is only superb
cial.
The plan by which the men worked, and by
which they probably still doing business IS
this They went to merchant who had rour'
groceries, poultry. meat, kitchen utensils OF any
other household commodity for sale ana saiu'
There are about hundred Jewish congrega-
tions on the East Side of New-York NO matter
how poor the people are. they must nave SOME
food and they must have 1t or the proper vi
.koscher' kind and 1t must be prepared in
.koscher' pots and pans Now we are al the
head of one Of these congregations; we are also
connected with a popular religious society "i'n
members from every synagogue. ana we nave
great influence with the chief raDDi. 1--WE US d
cartain amount of money, and we VIII use our
influence to the end that no article except yours
ia used by the members Of the East Side con-
grepations 1t will be branded koscher, ana the
peope will be compelled to use it. because ho
other similar article will bear that brand
Several merchants who saw large ana proh'-
able sales ahead gave up sums OF money III coi'-
sideration of the picturesque promises out Tue
East Side Jews continued to make their pur-
cbases where they pleased. and the specuiatNe
merchants on making further inquiry on the
subject of the dietary laws. found that IL "ou'u
have been well. from financial point IL th'S
had been done sooner
An East Side rabbi who has a small cohsre-
cation and makes ends meet by teaching tue
children on days when ne does not occupy the
readers desk in a little synagogue. said: rhe
people who belong to my congregation are OF t'e
noorer class They all keep what is known as
koscber' household and eat only such meat ~
IS slaughtered according to the Mosaic rite
They would not have milk at meal where meat
was served nor allow pork, shellfsh or nsh
without scales in their houses. But l doubt
whether there is one in the congregation VINO
would buy his household articles at any place
because | or any other rabbi told him to do So
But this fact is not generally known. and the
men who make ignorance on that subject
their chief stock in trade will probably continue
to do business with enterprsing merchants.

for the benefit OF the cab company or the total
distance run in the day, the length Of time In
which the cab has been in motion and the
total receipts common form of the taxam-
eter occupies a space about eight inches
square and can be attached to any vehicle

horses 1t works on the same general plan as
the cyclometer needing only to be geared dii-
ferently to fit different conditions. 1t is placed
at the upper front rim of the hood. so that the
passenger can glance at it without changing his
position.
Some device is necessary to sow whether
taxametsr cab is in ready to take a pas
senger. and in London the fact that the cab is
disengaged is shown by little red metal flag
in the window Sometimes a flag bearing the
word vacant" or "dsengaged'' is raised. When
the passenger halls the vehicle and enters. he
tells the cabman whether he wants to ride by
the mile OF by the hour If it is to be by the
hour. the driver pushes button, thus efacing
the last record and leaving three white open
ings on the dial blank. A click at the end of
an hour attracts the occupants attention,
and he looks up to find that he now owes 81.
Not until an hour and a quarter have elapsed
does the register change again. Then 1t shows
81 % ffteeInminues later 81 80, and so on.
IL the passenger is travelling by the mile the
record is made in two little square spaces. one
of which gives the exact distance covered, and
the other the amount of the total bill This dis
tance-record is particularly useful. for 1t Is
accurate and there is longer any chance

disputes.
Not the least interesting or complicated parts
of the taxameters mechanism are the private
records referred TO above. which it makes only
for the eyes Of the companys officers. when
for each new occupant the driver grasses from
the dial the time distance charges wmch

from the face Of the little machine. They nave

information, having been duplicated upon other
registers inside 1t will easily be seen that the
taxameter is an exceedingly ingenious contr-
vance and it is no wonder that, according 10 the
statements of those interested in It, the IN
ventors spent a great deal of time and nara
work before they brought 1t to its present auto
matte perfection.

connection with the cab Is by sort OF spinal
