While that war was raging they should

should not be deceived by the catch
cries they sometimes heard in con-

Has Beens Go
Down to Defeat

! In the ball game Sunday last
the regulars carried off an easy
victory, although the game was
not devoid of some interesting
features. A large crowd was in
attendance, and the roofing"
was entirely in favor of has
beens. OF this latter team
Proctor, Carman. Pearson, Tay-
Tor and Betz did good work, and
plainly demonstrated that they
understood the game. Of the

We all know that they under

Sunday, they should carry of
the honors tomorrow.

E. C. d. Marriage. our compe-

let a contract for the erection

calls for its completion on or

He is now branching out for

tom work now, and will be in
that position better than ever
with the completion of his
new building. The new loca-

of its being more centrally To-
Gated and more easy of access to
his many patrons. He does not
wish it understood that he has
discontinued taking custom work
until the completion of his new
building, but all having work for
him will receive the usual prompt
and competent service. Char

can safely bespeak for him a
great amount of patronage in

FINANCIAL FRAUDS
How the Mails of the Country Are Delayed with
Schemes to Squeeze the Savings from
People of Small Means.
By GEORGE B. CORTELYOU,
Secretary of the Treasury.

the same This is the way in which
the historic Fund w" was worked:
Under the name of Fleming & Mer-
RAMS Mutual Cooperative Fund w"
an appeal was made to the people to
send their money for the purpose of
creating a great centralized fund" to
be used in speculative operations in
grains, provisions and stocks on the
Chicago board of trade and the stock
exchange-the emphasis being placed
on the opportunities offered by the
board of trade.
In all the printed matter put out by
these clever swindlers the plea was
substantially this: 1.-THE great for
tunes of the kings of the pit have
been built up because these men had
capital enough to swing the market
their way; there has been no guess
work, no chance, no gamble about it,
for they had the ready money with
which to back their gigantic deals;
they knew the irresistible power of
great capital in one controlling hand
and were able to make the whole coun-
try of smaller peculators-whose cap
ital. although immense in the aggre-
gate. was under scattered control
pay tribute to them.
ut is time the common people, the
small spectators, learned this trick
of the captains of industry, concen-
trated their scattered capital in one
irresistible body, placed it in capable
and expert hands and recovered from
the kings of the pit some of the mil
lions which for years the smaller
speculators have been contributing to
these swollen fortunes. Your avail
able money. added to that of thou
sands and tens of thousands of other
small spectators, will form a central
lied fund of proportions which will
dwarf the available money OF the big
gest speculator who ever operated on
the board of exchange; the manipu-
lation of the market by the means oil
this huge fund will be based upon the
investigations of corps of the
shrewdest and most capable crop and

self and the profits at stake not only
render the employment of the best
talent necessary but also easy, as the
nroportion of the expense to the ag-
preqate profits will be trifiing.
For purposes of convenience we
have placed shares in this great Fund
w, at ten dollars. If you send me
500 YOU will get the profits on ten
shares from the moment your remit
