PYTHlANS BUSY.
Hold Secret Discussions of Question
 to Amend Constitution

New Orleans, October 1.-The su. preme lodge, Knights of Pythias, held a long session today, in which amend ments to the constitution were dis cussed. The matters discussed were not made public.
 The supreme tribune was also at work Its most interesting case is an investigation into assertions which have been made about one member of the Pythians declaring that he is a member of the negro race.
 The rank and file of Pythians parad- ed several thousand strong today through crowded streets. Tonight a number of wags organized what they called the "All Pythian Skiddoo Co \ [ 23," and dressed to resemble des ert nomads. They did fancy march ing and jig steps through the down town streets.

FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
Some Schemes of Wildcat Promoters
 for Partinu the Two.

The fact that one of the firms of pseudo bankers infesting lower Broadway has been taking the fools money for five years is an indication of its success
 Now half a dozen mushroom bank ing houses, with elaborately furnished quarters in New York, and branch of- fees in all the larger towns in this ooun- try and Canada and even abroad, are using this Ingenious scheme to sell spur ious mining oil and manufacturing stocks.
 A writer in Success declares that the house most successful at the game has forty branch offices here and abroad, be- sides agents in many smaller towns. It brings out new company every little while and sells the stock usually by the mail order and agency system.
 Years of experience have given these parasite promoters an invaluable Sucker by a road through the woods. She had whose financial credulity has not been shaken by repeated losses. These ''in- vestors"-wage earners, country mer- chants, clergymen, teachers and other pro fessonal men-are reached through cir culars and letters.
 The first stocks sold by the house paid cash dividends for a while, and the in vestors'' wao were doubling and tripling their savings bank incomes spread the glad tidinss among their friends. The cash dividends were followed by scrip dividends-ln some cases by no dividends at all. The stockholders who complained too loudly were offered in exchange for their unsatisfactory stocks other stocks in new companies brought out by the house
 A trust fund established flor the pro- tecton of investors is made up, sup posedly, oI round mining stocks. and when an investor gets tired of> one spurious stock he can send it in and exchange it for something else. This, of course, is just spur1ous but it keeps the victim quiet for a while.
 He is advlsed to hold the stock until the mine strikes the expected bonanza ore, when the stock will rapidly increase Tn value. In this manner the house manages to keep its 6upes quiet for many months and to sell them more stock besides.
