The Latest Bunco Game.

An Indiana exchange tells of a new
swindling game recently worked among
the Hoosier farmers in certain parts of
that state.
A farmer entertained a stranger who
claimed to be minister: He played
the part'well. In the morning young
couple appeared and asked him the
way to the minister's, saying they
wanted to get married. The farmer
thought of the minister who was stay
ing with him and suggested that the
couple be married there. The sup
posed minister performed the ceremo-
ny. The farmer and his wife signed
the certificate as witnesses.
Recently the guileless farmer was
notified that note for 81, 900 was due.
He and his wife had signed a promis
sorry note instead of a marriage certifi-
cate and the swindlers had discounted
the note.

"Bulicart" Finley Gains Wealth In
the Philippines.

A late number of the San Francisco
Chronicle relates at length the story of
the successful business ventures in the
Philippines of A. j. Finley, who was
born in Yuma, but left here with his
parents fer California about fifteen
years ago. His father will be remem-
bered as having been at one time mayor
of Yuma. and was also employed as
chief clerk of the Colorado Navigation
Company in its palmiest days. Mrs. Fin
ley is sister of Mrs. Judge Thurlow.
The boy was bright lad and preco-
cious to marked degree. AS an illus
tration of his business Shrewdness
as he grew older, the Chronicle. relates
that he went to the Philippines with
out q dollar and is generally reputed to
have cleared 100000 in gold by con-
trolling transportation and various enter
prises. Continuing the Chronicle says:
''He is little fellow, of slight built
and is only - years of age.
"When the American army began
pouring into Manila the natives would
not hire out their bull carts to help
transport alien supplies and equipment
to the storehOuses on shore. Finley saw
an opportunity and went to headquart-
ers and closed an exclusive contract to
furnish bull carts and lighters. Then
he went out and, personally, with Il
whip, drove Chinese cartmen into SER
vice and herded bull carts, 1000 of
them, up to the landing and got them
to work. The government was paying
him $1,000 gold Il day for the bull carts
and he was promptly paying the cart
men about what he thought was enough
for them. He held that contract for a
year and half clearing more than $1,000
Il DAY and made fortune and Il reputa-
ton that gave him his nickname.

FOREIGN COTTON.
Manipulated Prices May Invite African
Competition
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
On the day after raw cotton reached Is
cents on the New Orleans exchange King
Edward opened the British parliament with
speech containing this significant pas
sage:
The insufficiency of the supply of raw
ma aterial, upon which the great cotton In
dustry of this country depends, has in
spired me with deep concern. / trust fhe
efforts being made in various parts of my
empire to increase the area of cultivation
will be attended with a large measure q:
success.
There is old saying, derived from
British political experience that what Ian
cashire thinks this year all England will
DO next year. In the light of that saying
the significance of that speech from the
throne Is apparent. Lancashire has been
thinking as never before how to escape
from bondage to American cotton, and .he
British government has resolved to do
what 1t can to make Lancashire's thinking
effective. Nor are the Lancashire and
other European cotton manufacturers with
out hope of escape. There are many
regions which can grow cotton and which
will be made to grow it IL American delu-
sicns of the last year as to cotton prices
and American manipulations of those prices
are persisted in.
Egypt offers case in point. Fifty years
age the cotton plant was merely curiosity
OF the pasha's gardens there. The Amer
lean civil war started cotton culture which
has steadily increased. The present pro-
duction Is nearly 2,O00000 American bales,
and the quality Is such that American mills
ray cents per pound more for 1t than for
the domestic product. Even with the addi-
tiOns made by the Assouan dam the cotton
area Of Egypt proper Is limited, but In
Nubia and the Soudan are vast, stretches of
river lands which can be made white with
cotton In few years. On the west coast
of Africa cotton is already produced which
competes with the lower grade American.
Both Germany and France are encouraging
cotton planting in their African possessions.
The little island of Barbados produced
10000 bales of cotton last year and ex-
poets to make 100000 within three years.
Considerable cotton is grown in the Crimea
and elsewhere about the Black sea. India
Is growing cotton and several South Amer
lean countries are beginning to grow IL.
In fact. the tropical and semi-tropical zones
clear around the world are full of possible
cotton lands.
Natural causes had something to do
with the recent high prices which are SO
stimulating the extension of cotton culture
outside of the United States. That other
causes by no means natural operated is
proved by the simple fact that. when The
managers of the recent speculation finally
let go prices went off cents in four days.
The recent successful manipulation of
the cotton crop may have given the svuth
money to burn" but there is the very
prove playing with fire that will consume

a long siege of rapidly changing low and
raw temperatures. The man is fortunat te,
indeed who has not been at some time since
Christmas confined to his bed with cold
of some sort that he cannot succeed in cur
| ing. This condition of affairs has existed
for months and the end is not yet. In fact.
it behooves all careful people to be on their
guard against all catarrhal troubles more
than ever.
March is a typical pneumonia month and
gives high rate of mortality for the dis
ease One reason for this is that after our
long and hard winters the system loses its
natural resistance to cold. Only the hardy
ones are likely to withstand the strain and
even these are by no means safe when grip
Is increasing almost to epidemic manifes-
tation
The ordinary "cold,'' the grip and pneu-
monia belong to the same family of win
ter diseases. Although they may be excited
! by different infectious influences. their ulti-
mate enectS are the same when the attacks
are sufficiently severe. An acute catarrh is
always the result of undue exposure to low
| temperatures The rapid cooling of the
surface. when not balanced by proper reac-
ton. produces congestion and infiamma ton
of the nasal and bronchial membranes. OBJ
viously such an ailment Is not communica-
bic, In the ordinary sense. from one indi-
vidual to another. AS the slightest 'cold"
predisposes the individual to attacks of the
more severe and dangerous catarrhal affec-
tfons. the necessity for it's quick cure need
not be enforced.

tended with the usual evidences Of syste-
matte poisoning in the shape of fever pains
In the limbs and general bodily depression.
Its ultimate effects are always matters of
serious import. Pneumonia is it's frequent
complication. and long period of debility
fs quite usual even after slight attacks of
the original malady In fact. many date
their permanent invalidism from what at
first appeared to be an ordinary Influenza
Pneumonia, likewise due more or less to
different mfcrobic infection. Is generally
considered the most severe and fatal of
all the catarrhal diseases. The very young
and very old are most susceptible to Its
alarming ravages. for the obvious reason
that they are less resistant to its toxic in
nuences. More elderly individuals have died
OF pneumonia during the present season
than has been noted for a long period All
these facts emphasize the necessity for ex-
traordinary precautionary measures against
the ordinary cold" Every one cannot
change his climate at will. The bread
winner is unable to take a midwinter trim
TO Florida, Bermuda, to the West Indies or
the Mediterranean. but may make the most
OF what he has at home. What he can do
however, Is to make 1t a part of his busi-
ness to keep himself in a good healthy con-
dition: not to coddle himself in over-heated
apartments. not to damage his digestion by
overfeed1ng. not to wear out his nervous
energies by dissipation. not to indulge In
1ntoxicants. and above all. not to unduly
expose himself to the sudden climate
changes OF this trying season.

The Tar and Feather Habit.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

IA
We have looked through the Constitution
and bylaws of this country without discov-
ering any authority for the tarring and
feathering of its citizens. Possibly there is
no such authority. Yet we cannot repress
a pang OF sympathy for the people of
village in this state, who. in ignorance Of
legal procedure, fell back upon devisements
of their own, and regretfully but firmly
painted with tar. and then sprinkled with
feathers, the body of certain man, and
gave him Hour to betake himself to some
other town. For il appears that the person
was fashioned in the likeness of certain de-
generate youth of Brooklyn, and that he
felt called upon to address unescorted wo-
meni in terms the reverse of compliment. The
women tired of this and told the men folks,
and the men folks snaked the offender into
publicity with lasso. bound him to a tree,
coated him with tar and feathers and warn
ed him to get away quick. He got away.
There Is hardly a doubt that the persons
reformation will be more complete than IL
he had been sent to jail to idle for week
OF two, secure from tho observation and re-
proach of his neighbors. There Is hardly a
doubt that we have in all cities candi-
dates for a similar distinction. who would
amend their conduct forthwith, if their
thusiastic fellow citizens would only take
them to a public square. clothe them as this
person was clothed, and add to this service
a ride on rail to the outskirts of the town.

to justify 1t, but neither does the Constifu-
