LONDON THE MECCA
FOR GOLD BRICK ARTISTS.

London, oct. 17.-(Special. )-This
city is the happy hunting ground at
the present moment for the gold
brick" swindler Despite the fact that
this form of confidence game has had
worldwide notoriety and has been ex-
planned and revealed times without
number, 1t still proves effective in
many cases and the criminal investi-
cation department of Scotland Yard,
alarmed at the activity of the CON
fidence men," has issued a warning
in the following terms:
"A fraud, commonly known as the
gold brick swindle, is still rife, and
finds ready victims in this country,
in spite of the notices which have been
issued.
"The scheme seldom varies, and
usually begins with a letter addressed
to some persons of property and late
ly deceased-so that the letter may
fall into the hands of the executors
expressing gratitude for past kind
nesses, and stating that the writer has
made a valuable discovery Of gold
and desires to share his good fortune
with his benefactor.

Texas" Famous Drama of the
West.

George Broadhurst. author of the
Man of the Hour" showed his wis
dom when he purchased the rights
to produce Texas" Mr.. Broadhurst
has managed this play successfully
for the past five seasons, under the
firm name of Broadhurst & Currie.
When Mr.. Broadhurst saw the first
performance of Texas" he pronounc-
ed it the best cowboy play on the
American stage.
How good his judgment was then,
is best Illustrated by the phenomenal
run of the play in all the large cities
of the United States. It has made
fortune for Mr.. Broadhurst's firm
and for the author, J. Mauldin Feigl.
Texas" is play of the cattle coun-
try of the Lone star state. 1t is a de-
lightful picture of the plains.
Its characters are natural and true
to life. 1t has a beautiful story and
a strong plot. The scenery is true to
life and the accessories are correct to
a detail. Texas" stands alone as an
American play, and is in no way SINH
lar to other cowboy plays, unless 1t
is that the adobe house and the chaps
and spurs resemble other cowboy
pictures. Texas is great enough to
furnish its own material for a play,
and the author being a native born
Texan knows the country, its people
and its costumes. The cast this year
is exceptionally strong, having been
rehearsed under the direction of the
author at the Bijou theater in New
York city.

Regulating che Prices of Pearls.

Consul General William H. Mich
ael of Calcutta, reports that a
scheme has been set on foot to regu-
late the Indian pearl market and to
prevent a repetition of the disastrous
experience of last year. on account of
the money crisis in the United States
An agency is to be formed in India
with several branches. and a head
office at Bombay, to collect pearls
and to dispatch them to the London
market at fixed price. but subject
to offers. Against these parcels a
small advance will be given in Bonn
bay, while the price is being cabled
for to London. The promoters of the
scheme say that there is a great fu-
ture in store for the Indian pearl in
dustry II it can be properly handled.
The syndicate intends to extend its
operations to the Australian fisheries.

tween the swindlers and the relatives
or executors of the deceased, and ul-
timately, if the story is believed, to
the dispatch of a messenger, usually
toe America, to receive the bullion
found.
when this stage is reached a de-
mand for money is, on some pretext
or other, sprung upon the victim, who
in the end is generally fleeced to
very considerable amount by the pro-
duction of what appear to be bars or
bricks of solid gold.'"
The majority of the crooks who are
reaping a golden harvest by this an
tiquated method hail from the United
States, having of recent years found
Reuben of the Tall Grass" fully alive
to his tricks. Here, the most of his
victims come from Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa. The ma
tive-born Englishman seldom bites.

PIN MONEY, $4,000 A YEAR.
Mrs. Gould Says She Should Receive
100000.

New York.-Asserting that her
mere living expenses are in excess Of
$4,000 year and that 100000 a
year would be a suitable allowance
for a wife of a millionaire, Mrs. Kath-
crime Clemmons Gould answered the
amended reply to her husband, How
ard Gould, to her suit for legal sep
aration.
Mrs. Gould asserts that her hus-
bands allowance of $4,000 a year is
insufficient She is in debt, her ward
robe is held by hotel and her jew
elery by a jeweler to secure a bill.
Her household expenses for years ex-
ceeded $4,000 a month, her stable
alone $4,000 a year Among the
striking claims Mrs. Gould makes are
these:
at scarcely pays to keep an auto
mobile longer than one year. No
dress that any woman or means would
be apt to purchase costs less than
$3.50. A jewellery bill or $4,000 can
not be called extravagant for the wife
of a man of my husbands wealth. 1t |
certainly will stand comparison with
the jewelry purchased by the wife of
the defendants brother, George |
Gould, which. am informed, is val |
ued at $780, 900"

tom of kissing. He was serving his
time in the north of England and was
astonished when a waitress at the

quented kissed him under the mistle-
toe. on being explained to him that
present was expected In return, he
suggested a pair of gloves. The dam
sci, however, had heard that he was
immensely wealthy and gently hinted
that something for her neck would
be more acceptable. When the pres
ent arrived she conjured up visions
of a pearl necklace as she tremblingly
undld the parcel. Then was disclos-

STEAMSHIPS FOR MEXICO.
Hamburg American Line Will Call at
Coatzacoalcos Hereafter.

A report from Consul William W.
Canada, at Veracruz, states that the
vessels of the Hamburg-American
Line, heretofore calling at Habana,
Veracruz, and Tampivo, have now in
cluded the port of Coatzacoalcos in
their itinerary. The Furst Mismarck,
sailing from Veracruz October 3, was
the first vessel of this line to call at
that port. This would seem to indi-
cate that considerable traffic will be
inaugurated with Pacific coast coun-
tries in connection with South Am
erian steamship lines via the Isthmus
of Tehauntepec. The Royal Mail
Steam Packet company will also make
Coatzacoalcos a port of call.

YOUTH SHOT HIS FATHER.
Hayes Was Pursuing His Wife With
An Ak,

Charlotte, N. C.-Fearful lest his
father strike his mother, whom he
was pursuing with an ak, which he
held upraised, Ernest T. Hayes, 20
years old, shot and mortally wound
ed H. T. Hayes, at Belmont, a suburb
of this city, recently. The son at
once surrendered to the police.
The father was taken to the Presby-
terian hospital where it is said he
will die. The bullet entered the back
of the head and lodged in the brain.
The trouble grew out of the demand
by Hayes of money which he had CIV
en- to his wife. When the demand
was refused, the man seized an ak
and pursued his wife. To attending
physicians the father stated that his
boy was justifiable in shooting him
and begged that he be not prosecut-
ed.

There are too many married wo-
men" said DR.. Mcnamara, parli-
mentary secretary of the admiralty, in
the course of an instructive address
which he delivered at Credon-road, l..
c. C. school, Bermondsey, under the
auspices of the North Camberwel
Liberal and Radical association.
A great outburst of laughter follow
ed DIR. Mcnamara declaration. His
audience has not quite caught his
point.
let me finish he said Don't be
in hurry. You get hold of me some
times, but not very often. There are
too many married women whose hus-
bands could maintain them as any
gentleman could, but who are yet en-
gagged in the labor market. (Hear,
hear.) You may say that l am old
fashioned, but 1 say that a married
woman ought to be at home looking
after her children" (Hear, hear)
Some interruption took place here
to which DR.. Mcnamara replied: IF
husband can maintain his wife and
their children without the wife going
out to work, he ought to do so. Apart
from that, however, l am looking to
the ultimate effect on the race. 1t is
not good for the race that women
should go out into employment and
IL is not good for the children when |
the mothers do So" (Cheers.)
In the course of his address, DR.. |
Mcnamara referring to the unem-
ployed problem said he knew of no
magic solution for it. He criticised |
at some length the Right to Work
bill, and showed how seriously 1t
would affect the rates in Camberwell.
