PHANTOM FORTUNES.

A man has just been arrested in New
York for swindling women in familiar
way he made each believe that a leg
acy or Imposing amount had been left
TO her. To set in motion the legal pro-
cess by which she WAS TO receive this
a fee was necessary. The man would
take the fee. Then all he would set
in motion would be his agile person. and
not in the direction OF legacy. but
of new victim When ne was finally
caught. twenty-six women appeared
against him.
While all fortune hoped for. but still TO
be attained, is in some sense suggestive
OF phantom. one may pursue with
chance OF OVertaking a reality But
these mystic fortunes that knock about
the country urging people to accept
them are figments. They are not even
the ghosts OF wealth. They lack the
tangibiljty OF the figures crossing the
mind in dreams. II is wonderful how
they continue To deceive.
There are few families In the United
states for more than a single genera

crown or the government decades ago,
ana that investigation could not, by any
possibility. have more than a historical:
interest. Others eagerly begin the study
OF Eenealogy, hunt up or create an i'm

OF wealth that never comes.

volving the latest Pittsburg sensation,
started early in her career with the in
tenuon Of picking up rich husband
Mabelle. who is wise for her years

wastes her time on young men without
means is foolish. She frankly relates her
first meeting with President Corey, of
the Steel trust. of his blind infatuation
for her. and goes on to relate how she
came out of the affair rich woman
Would Surprise Dad
Four years ago she wrote her father
warning him that she might pleasantly
surprise him by marrying a rich man
She was then appearing at Pittsburg in
The Mocking Bird
Mr.. Gilman says that Corey occupied
a box at the opening performance and
became infatuated with his daughter
Then followed a champagne dinner at a
Pittsburg restaurant and several auto
mobile rides about the city.
Mr.. Gilman asserts that Corey and his
wife had their first trouble when the
latter heard that her husband had en-
tertained an actress at a champagne
dinner, and later the breach was wild
ened when Mrs. Corey saw a picture
showing Miss Gilman stretched at
length on a couch with n picture OF
Corey on an easel near at hand.
First Dinner
Mr.. Gilman told today OF the first
champagne dinner given by Corey to his
daughter.
Nothing but the very finest was op-
ened,'' he said. "and my daughter had
everything she wanted while she stayed
in Pittsburg. II was that dinner which
caused trouble between the millionaire
and his wife.
MY daughter is wealthy now. She
lives in Paris, and where do you sup
pose the money comes from? She has
just invested a quarter of a million in
New York real estate, and she has lots
more than that"

ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION

The Economic Future Of the Negro
was given wide discussion before the
convention OF the American Economic
Association, which has just concluded
US sessions at the Johns Hopkins Uni

Immediately after the adjournment OF
the convention a large number OF the
members of the Historical Associa ton
came to this city, when an informal ses-
sion OF the body was held in the Library
OF Congress. Afterward a luncheon was
served.
Many notable speakers We're heard on
the question OF the colored population s
education and future in this country.
The speech of Roscoe Conkling Bruce.
colored. of Tuskegee Institute, was both
forceful and convincing. He went into
a general proposition or the negro as an
industrial factor, giving particular stress
10 his position in the South, and quoted
statistics and authoities TO show his i'm

"Study His History"

Alfred II. Stone, of Dunleith Miss.
took the position that in attempting to
estimate the future OF the race the first
duty should be to try TO learn the truth
of his past and present economic status
The greatest factor in his past economic
history Mr. Stone said is the fact that
white competition was almost entirely
absent in the South, and he declared fur
ther that the steady increase of such
competition was of gravest import to
the future OF the colored man in the
south. Competition with the whites In
the North, said Mr. Stone. is driving the
black man into menial occupations and
the masses have but little hope from
that section.
Prof w. Z. 3. Dubois, colored, of the
Atlanta University, made an earnest plea
for his race.
