A FRENCH
SWINDLER
ARRESTED

About three weeks ago the police were
notified by Rev. Edward s. Rousmaniere
that Frenchman was about town swind-
ling Catholic and Episcopal clergymen.
The trick that was played was quite
simple. The swindler offered to give
lessons In French at reduced rates. but II
was essential that 50 should be paid 2m
for a text book. which he was to deliver
the next day.
Yesterday Capt. Cannon received an sd-
ditional complaint OF the same character.
and having I'm the interim learned that
the man was wanted I'm Boston for similar
crooked work he communicated with
Chief Watts OF Boston who said that he
had a warrant and would sent an officer
10 get the fellow II Capt. Cannon would
land him
This noon Detective Ahern picked up
Paul Revere. alias REM Paul Rivere de
Pricourt and took him to headquarters
where he was Identified by Inspector Con-
way OF the Boston detective headquarters
as the man the police OF that city had
been in quest of for several months.
DR. Pricourt. he said. lived at South
Boston, and had operated quite exten-
sively In Cambridge, where he had re-
ceived considerable money on account OF
tuition that he never gave. and for the
translation OF books into English.
DR.. Pricourt almost invariably received
the books when the money was paid him
and never returned them.
As the prisoner said that he had been
here about six weeks and had taken sew
eral books from the public library, 1t
may be that he has disposed OF some OF
them.
No local prosecution was possible. for
the reason that none of the clergy would
consent to appear against the swindler.

Nevada II. S. Sen
atOrS.

Nevada was admitted into the Union
rs state in 1854 and its first represen.
tatives in the United States senate went
to Washington in that year. They were
William M. Stewart and james w. Nye.
Forty years have elapsed and William
M. Stewart is still the senior representa-
tive of Nevada in the Senate, the position
which he took in 1864. He has not held
the place continuously however.
He had as successors two mining mag
nates- as they were called at the period
of their election, William Sharon and
James G. Fair. In 1887 Senator Stew
art was reelected and he has been senior
senator continuously since that time.
The post of junior senator from Ne
vada has had only three incumbents-
Nye the first John P. Jones the second
and Francis G. Newlands, the present
senator the third. His term will not ex-
pire until March, 1909.
Mr.. Jones, Welchman, was senator
from Nevada for thirty years, from 1878
to 1903, when Mr.. Newlands succeeded
him. He was not candidate for an
other term, and his name was not pre-
scented in the caucus which chose Mr..
Newlands.
