NEW FLIMFLAM GAME.
A Clever Scheme Which Makes the
Old Trick Look Cheap.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.)

N-NEW OiAfdHS lliiltS-DtflOGTdI.D
The thing in the way OF a fiimfiam
now and the real thing" said an old
detective, is away ahead of any of
the old tricks l know anything about
II has been worked but once in New
Orleans as far as I know, and if il
has ever been worked in any other
place do not know anything about
it, The business OF finding a rocket
book. 'springing the pigeon as ID is
called. the lock trick, which. by the
way. is one of the smoothest in the
whole list. and all the others are cheap
and clumsy in comparison with the
clever scheme that was worked on a
downtown barkeeper a few evenings
ago. II shows one thing and that is
that the criminal classes are quite as
active mentally and otherwise as men
who are engaged in the decent callings
OF life They are probably more ac-
tive mentally than men who are ground
into narrow grooves because OF cease
less toiling in an effort to keen the
wolf away. The new limfiam scheme is
wonderfully simple and Is worked with
paper money. A 81 and a IS bin are
needed OF course. bills of higher de-
nomination could be used. but the two
men who worked the trick here used
the bills of the first denomination
81 and IS bill. II is worked out in
this way: One of the men wiz write
IN thin lettering on the back of the s.
Dill what is supposed TO be 4 list or
MS laundry. For instance. in this way
enc shirt, 2 collars. pair cuffs. He
will go into = saloon when there is a
rush on in order TO further minimize
the possibilities of the barkeeper's de-
teeting the scribbling on the bill. and
VIII call for drink The money Is
put in the drawer. the man gets his
drink and his change and walks cut.

DOUBLE PURPOSE IN VIEW.
Charter Refused to Pennsylvania
Christian Scientists.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE application
for charter made by the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, was refused today by
Judge Arnold in the common pleas court.
In his opinion Judge Arnold says:
THE charter applied for in this case
covers double purpose-a church and a
business. We have power to grant a
charter for church, but we have no au-
thority TO grant a charter for a corpor-
alton for profit, that is, a business cor
poration."
Continuing, the court quotes from the
textbook of Mary Baker Eddys instruc-
ton 10 Christian Scientists TO sell and
circulate the publications of Mrs. Eddy.
failure TO do the same being sufficient
cause for expulsion from membership in
the church.
This shows" said the court. "that the
so-called church Is a corporation for
profit, organized to enforce the sale of
Mrs. Eddy's books by its members, which
is a matter of business and not of re-
lisfon. As the courts have no power 20
charter such a corporation, the applica-
ton for charter is refused"

W0RkINGMEN TO
ORGANIZE PARTY
Platform Has Been Constructed
by the Leaders.
VARIOUS REFORM MEASURES
PROPOSED LAWS FOR REGU-
LATINO THE TRUSTS.

! HICAGo. Sept. 15.-A movement
~ for enlisting the hosts of work
ingmen throughout the United
States into a semi-political organiza-
ton has been launched in this city
says the Post
A platform. said 10 embrace the
economical and political ideas Of labor
leaders and covering the whole labor
system, has been prepared and will be
presented frst for approval next week
before the Chicago Federation of La
Dor. The platform demands the aboli-
ton OF the so-called political machine,
the establishment of primaries where
votes may be cast for nominees as citi-
zens and not as members or a ma
chine" and the initiative and referen-
dum. 1t favOrs the right OF recalling
representatives who are out of touch
With voters. Relief from the trusts is
suggested in the plan for the passage
or an amendment TO the practice laws
Of every state and the federal govern
ment. under which litigants may bring
up. in any suit in which a corporation
is the plaintiff or defendant, the ques-
ton of its right to its franchise,
whether il has usurped power not Civ
en- il under statute. and whether il has
forfeited its powers"
Living Wages.
This method. 1t is argued. would be
productive of more good than the in
stitutiOn of suits by federal district
attorneys. Vigilance committees in
every state and large cities are favored
TO see that the laws are impartially
administered. The eight-hour day, san
itary conditions, living wages, the re-
peal of the laws limiting the liabilities
in personal injury suits, the supplying
OF free text books to all children in the
lower grades OF public schools, and
the abolition of convict labor in COM
petition with free men are demanded.
Limitation of the injunction powers
of judges is asked, and the popular
election of federal judges and senators
is suggested. In all civil trials major
ity verdicts are desired.
Banking Laws.
The plan favors the government in
stead of banks issuing all kinds of
money. and IL is suggested that private
individuals be driven from the bank
ing business. Laws are demanded re-
stricting the issue of capital stock,
bonds and securities TO any greater ex-
tent than the actual property owned
by corporations. Public ownership of
public utilities and state insurance and
provisions for old age are approved
Child labor is decried and educational
aids and trade uniOnism to keep up
wages are approved. In closing. the
platform reads.
IN order TO bring about a state of
harmony instead of constant discord,
the workingmen must look for relief
at the ballot box. Here, where the
will of the people is supreme, the rem
edy lies at hand and must be taken
advantage of. Workingmen must un-
dertake to govern. as well as toll. and
in that way they will get justice"
