BLING BEGGAR'S CONFESSION.
Man Vino Has Made Big Money
Tells of Some of the Tricks of
the Trade.
Richmond Times.

From a casual necessity begging has
become an art in which ingenuity
excels Today the tricks OF the beggar
are multitudinous and clever: the
same effort and care in another profes-
sion would possibly win distinction in
other pursuits for the bestzof the beg
gars. OF late Richmond has had her
share Of beggers, several of them hav-
ing come before Justice Crutcnfield in
the Police Court. In view of the great
number of beggars now in this city,
the confession of one, supposed to be
blind, is interesting This concession
was made to the writer a day or so ago
and throws a vast deal Of light upon
begging as an art.
According to the statement Of this
beggar he has been operating in Rich
mond for some three weeks, and has
made something like So day ever
since he has been here. His plan is
in It's simplicity, and is dis
tinguished by the fact that he never
asks for money OF even wears a sign
stating that he is blind. And the
ridiculous part of it all is that he is.
not blind, never has been, and makes
no outside pretensions in that direc-
tion. He came here from Baltimore,
where he operated until driven away.

MORE PAY FOR ENGLISH ARMY

London, March 8.-The new army
regulations proposed by the war secre-
=tary, Mr.. Brodrick, providing for
increased pay and other reform, which
have created so much comment, ap-
zpearzto have been directly copied from
the United States. Major Arthur
Lee, NE. p, formerly British military
attache at Washington, said to a
representative Of the .Assocl lated Press :
::ss = AT a t last we have taken out a leaf
from Your excellent book, though LIDO
not believe We have gone quite sosfar
IL that direction as we might, or hope
we may. Under Mr.. Brodrick's pro-
posed changes a private in the British
infantry now receives almost as much
as a private in the United States army.
With this change, which frequent
II advocated while military attache at
Washington, NE hope. to get class
of recruits similar to those secured IN
America. Under the. old pay we
were gradually lowering the physical
standard, yet still finding it hard to
get men, while our desertion percent
age was increasing at a rate which
SQOW0Q 5Gn6T0 was SOmotuluS sW1OuS
with the system. The American army
was the only other voluntarily-enlist
body in the world with which we
could make serviceable comparisons,
the Continental armies, owing to con-
scrption and other causes, being per
fectly worthless as examples. a year
ago Mr.. Brodrick pooh h-poohed the
idea of copying the United States.
Now he has changed his mind and
has done what the majority of the
members of the House, regardless OF
party, believe to be the very best thing
that could have happened to the army.
East year the Government indicated
its fears that it might have to resort
to conscrip ption. The present move
.banishes all possibility Of this, for:sI
understand Mr.. Brodrick is willing to
go even further in copying the United
States excellent treatment Of enlisted
men and by liberal finance build up
the standard Of the army. The in
crease in pay means an additional an.
nual cost Of about e2, COO, 600.

EFFORT TO DEFEAT
CUBAN RECIPROCITY
Some Republicans Wish 70 Postpone
all Action for This Session.

Washington, March 9. Sunday
brought something Of lullsln tnesi
agitation over Cuban reciprocity, al
though the elements for and against
concessions continued to prosecute
their plans in anticipation OF the
struggle on Tuesday night when che
fourth conference Of house Republicans
will be held. During the day there
were no formal meetings and consulsa-
tions. The tactical plans Of the waysi
and means committee are largely COM
.mitted to Representative Long, Of
Kansas, who was busy prosecuting his
canvass. Mr.. Long was In consulta-a
tion during the day with Speaker
Henderson, who is taking an active
interest in having the ways and means
committee supported, on the ground
that the opposition is one which to
some extent affects the regular organl-#
zation Of the house. The various con
snltations. however, did not lead to-
anynew Developments in the situation
Those who oppose the ways and means
committee continued to assert that
they had list showing l08 Republican
members with some 25 more doubtful.
If this claim could be made good. it
would be decisive in the coming con
ference. But Chairman Payne and his
associates, while giving no figures, do
not concede the strength claimed by
the opposition. When seen tonight.
Mr.. Payne declined to say what the
committee plans are or to make any
claims but said he was entirely salts
fed with the situation. One Of the
leaders Of the opposition element says
that the main effort on Tuesday night
would be to defer all action, at least
for this session of congress.
