NEW SWlNDllNG GAME,

Merchants the Victims of Supposed
"Business Directory" Venture.
A swindle of national proportions, by
means of which over $1,00O,0OO has
been taken from merchants and bank
ers all over the country, is alleged by
Louisville detectives as the ground for
the arrest here of Jacob w. Geist who
says he represents the National Gazet
teer of New York and Chicago, says
Louisville (Ky.) dispatch to the Phila
delphia Ledger. Geist is charged with
having obtained money under false pre-
lenses from five firms.
The officers declare that Geist's do
ings are connected with those of James
Fallon, arrested in New York last
April and of Arthur Hubbard, arrest
ed in Washington about the same time
on similar charges. According to the
detectives, the men go to merchants
to solicit advertising in a National
Business Directory and Rating Book"
If bona fide order signed by the
merchant is given it is raised in
amount and 50 changed as to provide
for payiireht at date before delivery
of the directory. If the merchant re-
fuses he is persuaded to sign blank
application for a sample copy, which
later appears as a contract over the
victims signature.

WANING VACATION DAYS

Vacation days are on the wane, ard fast
they're slipping by,
For when there's play instead of work
time fairly seems to fly.
Though thousands at the sea and lakes
and mountains yet remain.
They note with sorrow that their time
for fun is on the wane.
The summer girls are seeing that the
game is nearly played,
And they are often counting up the con-
quests they have made
They realize that they are near the end
ing of their reign,
For fond admirers vanish when vacations
on the wane.
There's grief at summer hostelrlcs where
cash like water poured
While owners reckon up their gains and
add them to their hoard
About the shrinkage in their tips the
walters oft complain,
For there's but little doing when vaca-
tion's on the wane.
Some faces that we long had missed again
confront our gaze,
And they are being added to as swiftly
fly the days.
For they are struggling back again,
bunch on every train,
Which always is a certain sign vacations
on the wane.
The youngsters too, now realize the time
is drawing near
When back to school they II have to go
and take up tasks severe;
They see the hours for play rush by, and
there Is mental pain
Because the long vacation days are swift
ly on the wane.
Both old and young are sad because the
time is near at hand
When they again must buckle down and
work to beat the band;
They'd like to take longer loaf but
wishes are in vain
When they can See the finish with vaca-
tion on the wane

by the new country and decided to

After making some reputation here
In his chosen profession he recrossed
the western ocean and brought back
with him a wife, the sweetheart of
days gone 10y in the Scottish hills. His
present home port is New London,
where he owns Il handsome little cot
tage within sound of the sea he loves
so well. He is naturalized citizen,
and Old Glory has no more stanch
the Reliance.
Fifteen years ago Captain Barr was
a sailor on the Thistle when that craft
challenged for the Americas cup. She
was sailed by John Barr. but 1t is
matter of history that she failed in her
mission, and Charles Barr spent sew
eral years in smaller craft in the vicin-
ity of Boston. The next craft of inter-
national Importance in which he fig
ured was the Navahoe, built for Royal
Phelps Carroll In 1893. Captain Barr
was selected to navigate her across the
ocean, and to him was intrusted the
task of sailing her In British waters.
The Navahoe won back the Brenton's
reef cup under his skilful guidance,
bnt he left her before the end of the
season. On his return TO this country
he accepted the berth as first mate on
the Jubilee, which was commanded by
his brother and had been built as
possible defender for the Americas
cup by General Paine.
The Jubilee ana two other aspirants
for international yachting laurels were
defeated by the Vigilant, and Captain
Barr left Boston for New York He
sailed the Vigilant in her trial races
against the Defender in 1895, and when
the Columbia was built to meet the
Shamrock |. in 1899 Captain Barr was
selected by Mr. Iselin to sail the HERE
shoff creation. In 1901 he again sue
cessfully defended the cup in the Co
lumbia against Shamrock II. after de-
feating the Constitution in the various
trial races.
