A New Scheme to Fleece
Negroes.
Daily States.

4uO NOW 4Oih D'OuihS ooS
should be encouraged by the fact
that the negro is progressing along
certain lines and especially along
the line of graft. In these up-to-
date times the smart colored bro
Their who wears gaudy clothes and
plated jewelry knows soft thing
when he sees it and is daily fur
nishing convincing evidence that
the white has no monopoly on
swindling. The "dude coon" finds
in his own race an unlimited nu m
Der of "essy marks" and he works
them to q finish with admirable
grace and facility. A short time
ago thousands of negroes in the
South we're duped out of their
money by black scoundrels who
went among them soliciting money
for the purpose of raising fund
to secure the passage by Congress
of bill to pay pension to all ex-
slaves. In this way many thou
sands of dollars were collected and
went into the pockets of dusky
sharpers.
Our esteemed contemporary. the
Montgomery Advertiser, however,
calls attention to another scheme
to swindle ignorant Southern ne
groes. 1t appears that some ras-
cally negroes propose to tax each
member of the race in the United
States the sum of Al cents for the
purpose of providing a beneficial
ry fund.-" There are 100000
negroes in the United States, and
while the proposed tax is small, it
will, if paid, yield several millions
dollars q year. This will consti-
tute very good beneficiary fund"
for the benefit of the grafters who
are working the scheme in several
of the Southern States and for all
We know it may be in operation in
Louisiana.
Our negroes should be warned
as to the nature of this "beneicia-
ry fund.-" but in view of the fact
that any advice that may be ex-
tended by white people will be re-
garded with suspicion it would be
we'll for the colored ministers and
leaders to inform their people that
the whole scheme ia a swindle and
by 30 doing prevent them from
being robbed by sharpers of. their
own race. From all accounts
smooth negro fakirs from the
North have been coming into the
South with enticing swindling
schemes and have reaped a har-
vest of dollars from the ignorant
negroes of the rural districts who
are easily victimized. The friends
of these unfortunate people, both
white and black, and more espe-
cially their own leaders. should
show to them that any proposition
that promises large returns for
small investments is a swindle and
nothing more.

BRIDGE MAKES BORROWERS.
Girls in London Lose at the Game and
Go to Friends to Pay
Their Debts.

Bridge seems to have been more de-
structive in England, at least on the
spinster side, than ever it was here.
They are lamenting there the DISPOSE
tion of young women to borrow
money to pay their debts as one of
the most regrettable effects of the
game, says the Boston Globe.
"Young girls who have suffered
heavy losses at the game" said a
man who was recently interviewed in
London, "show no hesitation now in
writing to men friends. and some
times to mere acquaintances, for
loans because they dare not appeal
to their fathers or brothers. AS a
nation we have always prided our
selves on our womanhood, so this
sort of thing comes as a shock
Another London complaint against
the prevalence of the game has been
heard. 1t is protest against the
long hours spent indoors that are in
furious to women's health and looks.
In Westchester and at Tuxedo
women have bridge clubs for almost
every day, and they sit indoors DUR
ing the entire afternoons, when they
might be thought willing to give mp
bridge for golf, tennis, driving or
some of the diversions not possible
in the winter in New York, when
bridge is always in abundance.

MONEY BY WIRELESS.
Twenty-Five Dollars Restored to
Steamship Passenger ny Hon
est Irish W0man.

How the wireless telegraph re-
stored five pounds ($25) to a careless
gentleman in mid-ocean is told in
an issue of the Cunard Bulletin, pub
ished on the Campania, as follows:
Sunday afternoon, when about sew
en- hours (say about $50 miles) out
from Queenstown, well out in the At
lantic, and speeding along on our
voyage, we were called from behind
by the Crookhaven station, in Coun-
ty Kerry, on the southwest coast of
ireland, by the following message
from our Queenstown Offices: Mrs.
Hegarty Irish lace vendor, was hand
ed ten-pound note instead of five
by gentleman saloon passenger and
would like to return it. Please have
inquiries made The message was
immediately posted, and a few min
utes later the owner of the ten
pound note "a well-known New York
merchant) was found. and the diff
ference, five pounds, refunded him
by the ship, the amount being coli
lected, on our return from New
York, from the lace vendor through
our Queenstown agent"

While the grand jury did not make
any direct charges against the Board
of Freeholders it went far enough to
show that things were not as they
should be in that body, and recon-
mended that commission be appoint
ed to carry the investigation through
to the finish. Justice Fort is the man
to appoint the commission, if one is
to be chosen, and, Judging from his
work in Monmouth county and else
where where there has been corrup-
tion, he can be depended upon to
select commissioners of the right kind
who will do their duty in every re-
spect.
From the facts brought out by the
Investigations Of the grand Jury 1t
appears some very questionable trans
actions have taken place and the
county's funds have been handled in
Perth Amboy evening news., 1903-07-23

The Chamber of Commerce has taken
a progressive step in starting a petit
tion for a sewer in Smith street. 1t
is the only way to get a pavement on
the thoroughfare and everyone admits
the principal street in city of this
size should be in first class condition.
The macadam placed there years ago
has worn out, and, at its best, is poor
material for city thoroughfare.
The effort made in the spring to get
Smith street paved, suddenly ended
when it was found there was no sewer
there. AS much as Perth Amboy
needs Che street paved, it is to the
interest of the city that the matter
should wait until the sewer is built
It is practically dec1ded that asphalt
will be the material, and asphalt once
cut can never. be satisfactorily repair
ed. Therefore it remained that the
sewer..had to come first.
A short time ago the Evening News
called attention to the necessity of
immediate action in this regard, for
the Kissssss - Lever is delayed, the
longer is the Smith street pavement
put off. The action of the Chamber
of Commerce is timely. 1t is be-
ginning at the starting point and a
we'll paved thoroughfare from the
Central station to the ferry can be
said to be IN sight.

Enormous Strength of Mushrooms.
A curious instance of the wonder
full force exerted by growing vegeta-
ton is related in the Gardeners
Magazine. This force seems all the
more remarkable when exerted by
light and unsubstantial mushrooms,
but does not appear so extraordi-
nary when caused by the expansion
of hardwood tree. A few weeks
ago some half-hardy ANIMALS were
sown in frame just cleared of a
winter crop in the gardens of Kel-
sey Park, Beckenham, and the lights
closed to hasten termination. Some
days afterwards signs of cracking
were observed in the brickworl, and
gradually a block weighing in the
aggregate one and one-half hundred
weight was pushed out of position.
After cutting out several bricks a
mass of mushrooms was found,
three pounds three ounces in weight,
growing in the center of the wall.
The mycelium had run freely in the
mortar and on the inner faNe of the
bricks.
