He posed as a physician, philoso-
pher. alchemist, free mason and necro-
mancer. He claimed the power OF
abolishing original sin, of course, its
penalties and even limited at immacu-
late conception. But it was his pos
session of the secret of eternal youth
and life that gave him his prestige.
This was a drawing card among the
ladies. But it should not be assumed
that women were his only dupes. The
willy charlatan had an oily tongue and
even clerics were impressed by him.
The upper classes then were at once
sensual, infidel and superstitious and
naturally were impressed by the claims
of the man who said he could make
gold and diamonds at will. No secret
of the heaven or earth was withheld
from him. The people believed him
and for years the fad ran its course
in Europe.
Cagliostro was accompanied by his
wife, a beautiful woman, and she CO
operated in his astounding impositions.
Though young she claimed a great
age and spoke of her son as COM
mander in the Dutch navy. Caglios-
tro himself was anywhere from $50 to
200 years old, his vitality, of course,
being preserved by that wonderful
elixir of perpetual youth.
For years Cagiostro revele6 in lux
ury and wealth. His dupes were many
and rich and they insisted in keeping
his pockets well filled. But the end
gradually came. He found it con-
venient to leave France-he had all
ready visited every European coun-
try-and he wandered to Rome in 1889
There he was thrown into prison and
in 1895 he died in spite of his life-pre-
serving elixir.
The correct name of Cagliostro was
Giuseppe Balsamo. He was a native of
Palermo, Italy, and at an early age
became the assistant to an apothecary
in a monastery. Here he picked up a
scanty knowledge of chemistry and
medicine, but scanty as it was it en-
abled him to impose upon thousands of
persons.

KING OF CHARLATANS
WONDERFUL CAREER OF ITAL-
IAN IMPOSTOR
Who Posed as Physician, Philosopher.
Alchemist aad Teacher and Who
Duped all Europe-Other False Teach
ers.

Superstition thrives and fattens in
the opening days of the 10th century.
In fact it seems as though there has
never been a time, not even in the
mystic age, when more strange beliefs
fiourished than now, and this in spite
of the admitted progress made by
science and popular education. All
over the United States strange cults
are springing up, each with its follow
ing of dupes, and one becomes lost in
speculation as to what is to be the out
come of this remarkable activity.
But perhaps the prince of the whole
list of charlatans who have flashed
across histoTy's pages was Cagliostro,
who operated in the Stormy days pre-
ceding the French revolution.
A Prince of Impostors.
When Cagliostro appeared the time
was ripe for his gigantic swindle of
intelligence. The old regime was tot
tering to it's fall The old ideas which
had held society together for a thou
sand years were in senile decay The
new world of science and intellectual
liberty was just beginning and to its
disciples the word impossible was not
known. The widest dreams appeared
as the veriest realities. Into this cur
rent swept Cagliostro, the king OF
liars the prince of impostors, and the
most splendid rascal the world ever
saw.
God of the Earth was one of the
titles his followers gave him and he
had hundred others almost equally
ambitious. Like all other impostors
he gained his first step on the ladder

New Railroad Taking Shape.

Work on the new railroad in the ut-
per section of the South Side. which
has been energetically pushed the past
six or eight months, has about stopped,
as the grading is practically complete,
with the exception Of a rock cut near
Meadow avenue. The road has been
graded to within a block of where the
tunnel commences, and the tunnel WORK.
will be pushed just as soon as the con-
tract has been awarded.
The course of the railroad UNDER
ground will follow Irving avenue from
Elm street to the Twelfth ward line
and will be about forty feet below the
surface, on an average. Most people
are under the impression that the cars
will enter the tunnel, after the road is
complete, where the old mine opening
is on Maple street. This is not 80, how
ever, as the opening to the undcrgrou, Il
passage will be on Elm treet, a block
away, and will pass into the aban-
doned mine workings where the present
opening is, but at least tweIeve feet
lower, so as to conform to the grade.
This will bring the top of the arch
little above the present grade on Maple
street, which will then have to he
filled. as, at present, it Is entirely too
low.
a gate has been placed on the mine
opening, as quite an industry had
sprung up in that vicinity due to the
fact that coal could be got easily and
without cost. AS many as twenty peo-
pie would invade the workings at times
and rob pillars and sell the result or
their labors at n good profit. Besides
helping themselves to other peoples
goods, the pilfering was dangerous to
the people engaged thereat.
