LESLIE EXPLAINS THE sw1xDLE
Press Agent of the Franklin Syndicate
Turns States Evidence

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Cecil Leslie, press agent and en-
ploye of the Miller 52O-per-cent swindle
has made a long confession to the Evening
World. Briefly epitomized, Leslie says:
THE Franklin syndicate was colossal
bInco game. Some of the men interested
In the concern We're formerly managers
of Lyons 4 Co. and the E. S. Dean Com
pany, in this city, which were run on SIM
liar lines. Miller must have gathered at
least $1G0,OO0 out of the scheme-probably
more. He had behind him more political
backing than any other schemer, swindler
or gambler this country ever knew. Polti-
men and leaders of both parties were his
clients.
THE syndicate stock market connections
were fairy tales. 1t was organized with its
first clients from among members of the
church in which Miller taught a Sunday
school class. The wives of high police Of
ficials and great number of policemen and
firemen were among his investors When
last saw Miller he had $4,000 in jewelry
on his person and always carried immense
sums of money in his pockets. The Miller
deposit of 100000 in the Wells-Fargo
Bank has not been withdrawn"
Leslie goes on to say that he resigned
his position with Miller before the grand
jury indicted him, and informed the ser
geant in the Vernon avenue station Brook
Ign, that the Franklin Syndicate was a
swindle. The sergeant, Leslie says, said
he would inform his captain. Leslie says
that he was informed of the indictment by
a grocery boy. He Immediately left the city
and took train for Utica. Leslie is now
out of the state.

Women of the w. e. T. L. Block Her
RHrmaid Tea Scheme.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Society and the stage represented
by women of wealth and beauty, crowded
the ball room at Sberrys this afternoon.
patroDizing the concert arranged by Mrs.
Langtry TO raise funds for the American
hospital ship Maine, now in South Africa
Although young women did not sell cock
tails and other refreshments at the Amer
lean bar as had been expected there was
a big crush and d large sum of money was
realized.
The ball room and the communicating
corridors and rooms, from $50 o'clock on
We're crowded with people. The ball room
used. which was furnished with chairs was
packed TO the walls, and it was impossible
to follow the program. in which the
Dest-known people of the stage took part
Women Were in great prepOnderance, and
they were to a large extent women of the
stage. There were several police officials
present also. sent to the concert by Chief
Devery in response to the demands of
members of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union. The police had nothing
to do, but they were present for the pur-
pose of watching the American bar"
and. if necessary, preventing the carry
ing out of the original plans of Mrs. Lang
try and other organizers of the entertain
ment to have young women dispense
drinks.
About the time that Mrs. Langtry's tea
was nj its height there was an informal
conference by the Women's Christian
Temperance Union in the Broadway Tab
ernacle. Here the tea was discussed
from every standpoint. Mrs. Ella Boole
president of the State w. c. T. u, spoke
OF the affair in the following words:
1T is a lamentable fact that all wo-
men are not with us. If they We're we
would not have presented to the Ameri-
can people a concert with patronesses
from the four hundred planning to have
young women stand behind the bar and
urge men TO drink. Such a scene is fit
only for the vilest slums, and the vice
would be so hideous that the law would
interfere
There was no installing the fact that
the entertainment had been planned to
raise money, even the programs selling at
s. each. Something over 5000 was said
to have been taken in.

The Peri at the Gate

Two members of the anti-suffrage deIepa-
elon which appeared before the House in
oiciary committee yesterday tell a good
story about their experiences 1t seems
That the suffragist sisters, with sweet vo
manly determination. had made up their
minds that hearing, save on their side
there should be none. Consequently a small
nut nerce lady doorkeeper they saw. in
stalled herself, waving the regular inc,m
Dent to one side. Like Othello, with his
occupation gone, he loafed about and
watched the scene. When the "antis'' an
peared, the story goes. they We're Informed
that no admittance was to be had withonr

The ''antis,' rather amused than provok-
ed, since they knew the committee would

contemporaries in the Capitol, retired TO
the corridor window in search of fresh air
until the time of the hearing arrived

THE BEEHIVE.

Contract the space in the hive to the
size Of the colony.
A good and fertile queen keeps the
hive full Of bees during the season.
Do not offer to feed liquid food to bees
in winter; it is almost sure death to a
colony.
Bees abhor being molested at night,
and no work can then be done with them
with any satisfaction.
In every case where comb is to be built
furnish the bees with foundation, using
full sheets in the frames.
Clipping the wings Of the queen pre-
vents losing first swarms by Ascending.
but does not always prevent losing the
queen.
Bees seem to seek naturally span be-
tween two combs, and the queen seldom
goes to the outside comb of hive unless
she is compelled to for want Of room; so
that a nucleus Of two or three combs is
better than one.
Prepolis IL the gum or varnish that bees
collect for vanishing over the inside Of
their hives, filing cracks and crevices,
cementing loose pieces of the hive to-
gether and for making things fast and
close generally. It collects in time in
old hives and combs.-St. Louis Republic.

1.-Two hundred and fifty thousand

Great numbers are now arriving. but
owing to the fact that they have to be
put to work before time is given them
to recover from the effects of the voyage
their condition is low and the death
rate among them high. Thousands
therefore will be needed in addition to
those now here or on the way and great
