AN OLD-TIME FAKE.
Some importance Given to Fortune Teller
Prediction


Prediction.
Madame Orietta, a mind reader and
palmist, travelling ostensibly in the in
terest of the san Francisco Examiner,
gave some street exhibitions OF her
powers Saturday and Monday. The
woman was blind-iolded and stood on a
box, while her male comrade or mana
ger as he styled himself, hustled
through the wondering crowd gather
ing articles which he babe the mad
anne to name. In every case, it is said,
the woman called out correctly what
the object was, even to stating the
number on the works Of watches, KEYS
etc.
The madame assumes to be palm.
list as well as a mind reader and after
the public exhibitions gave audience
to some of the curious, who were will
ing to contribute dollar to learn what
the future might have in store for
them.
The manager in his public talks
claimed that the woman was a native
of the island OF Java and was endowed
with the faculty of predicting things
to happen some two or three decades
hence. He declared that she had
publicly prophesied the sinking Of the
battleship Maine thirty days before it
occurred. Furthermore she had pro-
phesied that Mark Hanna would die
of apoplexy during the year 1902
that King Edward Of England would
die in 1905, in 1927 the United States
would include all OF the American con-
tinent, and lastly, in 1888 communica-
ton would be established between the
earth and the planet Yakima
Democrat.
1t is always safe to make predictions
which require years or a lifetime to
verify them, and it is to be noted that
these remarkable prophesies are gener-
ally made known after the event pre-.
dicted has occurred.
The explanation of Madame Oriet-
ta's method OF identifying articles Sc
lected by a confederate is extremely
simple. 1t is simply mode OF word
telegraphy, acquired by long practice.
The words used in asking questions by
the exhibitor afford a cue to the an.
swers. 1t is reduced to . complete
system, and nearly anything desired
may be communicated by the form oil
words used.
This impels the belief that her words
of prophesy may likewise be trick.
1t is simply q cuisines" with such
fakirs, to secure the money of the
credulous, and it is OF primary import
ance to secure the utmost perfection
of method. This practice affords in
physical acrobatic feats, and why may
not like proficiency be attained in
mental gymnastics?

While President Roosevelt objects
to camera leveled at himself more
than to cannon, he is said to have
given his hearty endorsement to the
camera sportsmen, and this, to many
people, will seem significant in view of
the fact that the President is an en-
thusiastic hunter of ferocious game.
Of course, it is more than any sensible
man might say, but the unfortunate
fact is that some men who are not
sensible mistake wanton destruction
OF life for the sporting instinct.
Mr.. Roosevelt expresses the hope
that the camera, and the methods of
the nature.student, will more and
more supersede the use of the rife as
time goes on. He himself does not
always take gun when he goes for a
ramble in the country, though some
people have seemed to think 80. It il
quite possible for Mr.. Roosevelt to en-
joy himself, climbing . mountain or
tramping through the woods with .
friend or some member of his family,
without lusting to kill something.
As matter of fact, the men who love
nature best and know most about ami
mails are usually content to take most
of their woodland walks without any
instrument Of death in hand.
The camera hunter needs at least a.
much courage and knowledge Of wood.

BIC FRAUD FOUND.
u. s. Mails Used to Swindle
Public Out of 81, 100000.
Firm of j. MI. Fisher & Co., BOs-
ton, Under Arrest.

Boston, Oct. 28.-In connection with
what the u. S. marshal's office declares
to be one of the biggest frauds they
have ever had to do with in this city,
members of the firm of J. M Fisher &
Co., brokers, were arrested today on the
charge Of using the U. S. mails in a
scheme to defraud. 1t is alleged that
81, 100000 has been taken from the public
since January L, 1900.
The method of the firm is said by the
authorities to have been very simple
People all over the country, it is alleged,
were written to and told what excellent
chances there were to invest money and
that large returns could be expected
Pools were formed and those DESTROYS of
getting rich quickly were invited to re-
NIT. After two or three weeks, it is said,
investors would be advised that a pool
had been formed on some well known
stock and that the quotations had gone
down the margins had been swept in and
that more money was necessary imme-
diately in order to save the stock After
having put in two or three times the orig
ing amount some of the investors became
suspicious and called attention of the au-
thoritieS to the matter.

keeping methods in connection with the
Pocahontas coal payment last week may
be responsible for the gain of nearly ST.
100000 in cash, as reported by the state
ment. There is, however, discrepancy
between the several items of the state
ment, deposits failing by nearly million
dollars to show the increase called by
changes in other items 1t is fair to as

ROOSEVELT 43.
Received as Gifts Simple Little
Tokens From His Children.

Washington, Oct s.-President Roosevelt
was 43 years old Sunday. The youngest
president in the history of the United
States found the day little different from
that of other Sabbaths. In the morning ne
went to his church-the little Dutch Re
form church-and between prayers was
stared at by visitors who attended service
in order to get a glimpse of the president.
After church the president and the chill
dren took long walk and then returned
to the White House for luncheon. Mem
bers of the cabinet called during the af-
ternoon to extend their congratulations.
Important business requiring attention,
Mr.. Roosevelt was compelled to be in his
office for a short time, and then he had
pleasant romp with the children.
The dinner at II o'clock was purely
family affair. There We're no guests and
DIR. Nicholas M. Butler of New York, Mr..
and Mrs. ROOSeVeltS house guests, having
left Saturday afternoon.
The table was deliberately decorated
with roses from the White House conser-
VatOries, and in the center of the table
was fine large cake, ablaze with 43 can
dies of different colors and much amuse
ment was afforded the children when the
time come to blow them out
The gifts the president received were
simple little tokens from his children, one
more elaborate than the others being a
paper weight in the form of Dutch
windmill.
Secretary Long called upon the presi-
dent and exchanged birthday congratula-
lions with him. Mr. Long was s. years
old Sunday. Miss Long accompanied her
father to the White House.

OLD SPECTER RISES.
Senator Burton Sued In Missouri
on Old Colorado Action.

While in Kansas City, on his way to
Washington, Senator ]. r. Burton was
served with a petition in a suit for the
payment of nine promissory notes, ag-
gregating 26,7175O. A deputy sheriff
and a lawyer were waiting for Senator
Burton and his party at the Union depot
when Santa F'e train No. pulled in,
but the officers missed Burton in the
crowd and service was not secured till
they had followed the party over to the
Blossom House.
When the train pulled in the cars.
from every door of which passengers
were pouring, were closely watched by
the deputy sheriff and the lawyer. The
senator and the ladies with him were
not observed by the watchers, however,
and it was feared that the scheme to get
legal service in Missouri had failed. The
two men did a great deal of running
around and were relieved when they
were informed that the senator had gone
to the Blossom House, where the party
went directly to the parlor.
While the senator was in the act of
swallowing a dose of medicine Deputy
Rosenberg appeared at the door.
Good evening, senator" said the Off
Ger.

This is j. Ralph Burton, or ]. R. Bur-
ton?"

ator- The latter read the title of the
suit. grew visibly embarrassed. put his
glass in table and heaved a sigh.
''An right he said.
The task had been successfully per-
formed and the deputy Joined the wait
ing lawyer. Mrs. Burton and Miss Ru-
dolph were in the room at the time of
the incident, but neither said a word
while the deputy was there. A few mo-
ments later the travellers descended in
the, elevator, went to the dining room
and continued their journey toward
Washington Saturday night.
Alfred Gregory, the lawyer who help
ed Deputy Sheriff Louis Rosenberg to
get service on the senator while be was
in Missouri, says the suit, which is
brought by the Merrimac River Savings
bank of Manchester, N H, is for money
borrowed during Senator Burton's land
speculation in Colorado in 1888.
Senator Burton said to a reporter, i'm
mediately after he had received a copy
of the petition: There is nothing in it,
1t is the same suit 1 won in Denver a
few years ago. They have no case and
I'll beat it in Missouri. That's all in
tend to say about it,
The petition served on the senator
rowed n oney from Crippen, Lawrence
& Co. and gave his personal notes. The
notes We're for five years. Later they
were purchased by the bank which
brings the suit. seven OF them were for
$1,000 each, one was for 81 200 and one
for $1,000. 1t is recited that interest on
the nine notes amounting to $1573 has
been paid and that no interest has been
paid since 1894. The suit is for princi-
pal and interest on each note, the total
being SIG. 717.50.
I'VE like the Missouri law better than
the laws of other states. and therefore
wanted to bring the suit here" said
Mr.. Gregory. This matter has been in
the Colorado courts, in which state the
debt was contracted on real estate
deals, but the statute of Limitation has
affected the case in that state"

Franklin's Far Seeing Wisdom.

[From the Portland Oregonian1
The late Benjamin Franklin sat on the
back fence and counted the volts as they
flashed down the string from the kite
sailing in the clouds above, and piled
up in an innocuous heap in the Leyden
jar at his side
An old neighbor passed that way and
paused to observe him
Mr. Franklin" said the neighbor, as
he lifted his hat respectfully with one
hand and lodged a Jagged streak of
lightning with the other, why does a
man of your width between the eyes
content himself with tempting provi-
dence with kites and compiling ante
diluvian platitudes for an almanac, when
he might be winning everlasting fame
on the battlefield"
MY friend, answered the philosopher,
slowly, the quiet pursuits with which
I am content to while away the few
days of my existence are not what you
may call exciting, although have had
some pretty warm half hours with light
ming and diplomacy, but you must re-
member that they will never lead to my
becoming part of historical fiction, or
induce any actor with high boots and
large oaths to show me to the matinee
girl of the future he thinks I was"
The neighbor bowed to the greatman's
superior wisdom. but it remained for
generations yet unborn to gauge the
length of head indicated by that brief
speech

BIRMINGHAM ORATORY.
TFrom the London Chronicle.l

From the London ChrOnicle.1
The additions to be made to the Biz
dinal Newman will be of very simple
character, if they are to be in keeping
with the original design The church, as
Newman built it, was merely four brick
the local builder. Somebody has de-
scribed it as having the appearance of a
riding school. The accessories are all
equally plain, including the oaken pulpit
preacher of st. Mary the Virgins, at OK
ford, addressed, over a long series of
years, a congregation of a very different
order. Yet the first idea Of Newman had
ton was to build in miniature a sort of
St. Marks, Venice, the church he most
of all admired, and there are still pre-
served some plans made in this spirit by
distinguished visitors to Newman in Bir-
mingham.
At the Oratory school, Birmingham, the
Duke of Norfolk was educated, perhaps
promise the good results actually at
tanned. For he had his separate rooms,
and did not wholly share the life of school
fellows; nor was he compelled to do vio-
lence to his inolinations in the course OF
his studies. 1t has often since been great
regret to him that he was not at least
coerced into a good speaking knowledge
of French Newman rather prided him
self on the attention given to the classics
in preference to modern languages. Into
the details of the school life he did not
enter. But when he received on one
morning a. letter from one boys father
short, and from another complaining that
they were too long he did not THINK 1t
necessary to trouble a secretary, but
simply made a cross fire of the cOntradic-
useful to head masters at the present
time

HAS COST CITY S1,IOO.
Amount Paid Out in Interest For
santa Fe Money.

Today the city of Topeka stopped
paying interest at 6 per cent. on the
Santa F'e bond loan. The various banks
of the city which have been advancing
money received their remittances from
st. Louis and shipped on the bonds to
the purchaser. The bonds did not come
back into the hands of the city. Each
bank shipped what it had direct to st.
Louis, c. 0. D.
The amount of interest which the
city of Topeka has paid to the banks
of Topeka for the temporary loan is
about $1,000. This is $500 more than it
would have been necessary to pay pro-
vided the bonds could have been sold
instead of borrowing on security for a
short time.

KILLED BY NATIVES.
Navel Cadet Loveman NOa Loses
His Life in Samar.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Secretary Long

Naval Cadet Noa was appointed from
