|FAKER MADE A
BIG HAUL HERE

street fakir on Main street this
morning collected quite a crowd, as
is often the case where the speaker
has good nerve and no scruples, with
grip full OF money. The person
in question, purported to be a rep
resentative of prominent foun-
tain pen company of New York, and
he began his little entertainment by
giving away absolutely free num-
Der of gaudy stock pins. He next
exhibited several of supposedly
better grade which he distributed
upon the condition that those into
whose hands they fell were to deposit
with him a coin of no less denomina-
ton than quarter. After a limited
number had been distributed he re-
funded in each case the money which
had been given him and with dupli-
cate coin. After this stall he brought
forth the real objects of his graft,
large number of what he claimed to
be fine $500 fountain pens.
He stated at this stage OF the game
that his company did not believe in
advertising by posters or through the
columns of the local papers so that
he had little surprise to spring on
them which he was doing solely for
the purpose of advertising. He then
proceeded to sell the pens for a dol
lar piece giving the impression at
the time that he would refund the
money and double it as in the former
case.
Two gentlemen in the crowd
bought five apiece and one man who
might have been a capper purchased
six. After selling twenty-seven pens
he distributed to each buyer little
combination, brass and other min
erals, ring. which was the surprise
he had planned for them through
the liberality and kind heartedness
of his firm.
1t was wiser but poorer crowd
that the fakir left behind.

Dutch Artists.
BY MRS. NETTIE G. CONNIE.


~ F all the artists Holland can boast only two
OF them, Rembrandt and Van Dyck, achieved
~ everlasting fame And Of these two who
ono SO talented, one was of rich parentage and the
W other lifted himself from his poor parentageto
fame and fortune. OF the artists OF long ago
there were Van Balen, Van MORT, Otto Van Veen,
Swanen burch, Lastenare, Peter Paul Rubens, Van
Dyck and Rembrandt, OF these two latter wish
especially to speak.
Rembrandt was the OF a miller. He was not
Industrious boy and was not much help around
the mill He was sent to school in the hopes that
something could be done for him there but he would
sit and dream looking straight in front OF him-at
nothing. The master tried hogging and the day
found picture OF himself the blackboard, por-
trayed as anything but lovely. The father sent
for and reported to the boys mother. "Well, said
the mother n he will not do anything but draw pic
tures think we had better let him draw pictures"
And the mother love resolved that her boy should
learn to paint pictures and be able adorn their
church and town hall, other artists had done. He
was still boy, perhaps only Is, when he went to
study under Swanen burch for three years The mas
ter proved his faithful friend and encouraged him
higher ambitions.
1t is said he painted nearly hundred pictures Of
his mother, the face homely, wrinkled and
but with look OF love and patience
in the quiet He studied six years under Last
man. but proved peer to his teacher He journeyed
to Italy, the Mecca of all artists and studied there
short time. When he returned home he fitted up a
studio in a wheat bin in the old mill The single WIN
dow eight feet from the floor. 1t was the light
from this high window that first gave him the idea of
painting a portrait, part of it in shadow He ex-
permented with curtain for shadow effects and his
mother as the model. and he learned produce the

PENNSY WILL COMPLY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-- The Penn
sylvania Railroad will comply under
protest with orders recently issued by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
providing for a general balance sheet
statement and for the treatment of ex-
penditures for additions and better
ments. The Pennsylvania has absnd-
oned that course in a letter received
by the commission. The company re-
serves the right to appeal from the
Commissioners orders at any time
and il is expected that the matter Of
this classification Of expenditures on
the railroad will be fought out in the
courts.
The particular point at issue pertains
to the rule that expenditures for adj
tions and betterments shall in no case
be charged to operating expenses, and
TO the fact that il is no longer per1nis-
sible to charge such expenditures to
income. TO profit and loss, OF to special
funds in such a manner as to exclude
them from the property accounts in
the balance sheet statement.
The policy of improving property out
OF revenues is not called in question,
but the new accounting rules provide
that every increase in the capital as
sets of the company should be set up
in the property accounts.
The Commission holds chat anything
in tho nature of secret account
which results either in an overstatc-
ment or an understatement of the ac-
cumulated surplus is repugnant to that
principle of publicity for which the
twentieth section Of the Hepburn Rail-
road law makes provision.

DEMOCRATS GETTING
READY FOR COURT

That the Democratic members of city
Council arc busy preparing their side Of
the contest hearings before that body. 10
bc presented before the upper court. was
evident from the resmarks dropped last
night and also by resolutions passed by
the Council. These resolutions provided
that President Banning be empowered to
certify to al records and proceodings Of
Council during the contest hearings and
present them to the court The resolutions
were Identical excepting that one referred
to the Allen Rash contest and the other
TO the Almond Ross contest.
Councilman Benson expressed a doubt
whether the court would accept the attest
TO the minutes OF Clerk Of Council George
IT. McGovern. as provided in the rcsolu-
tions owing TO the fact that Thomas $.
Lewis was the Clerk Of Council served
with the writ
The resolutions were passed, however,
without a dissenting vote.
Councilman McGovern presented the re-
turns made by George L. Sudham and
Frank J. Quinn. Who served the papers on

Il second Mr. Dempsey's motion said
Mr.. McGovern." in order to give him an
opportunity TO discuss his position.
Mr.. Dempsey replied that it looked TO
him Ike a simple case OF side-steppinE
the question. II am minority member

these minutes up and will hold a meeting
some night until u O'Clock TO hear them

The First ward member continued by
stating that the man who was holding the
seat in Council from the Second ward or
his attorney were not making a mistake.
but the members Of Council We're Mr..
Dempsey also inferred that Mr.. McGovern
might be hiding something. The latter
had no further objection to make and the
minutes of both meetings were read. It
required twenty minutes 10 read them and
nothing sensational developed the minutes
being adopted without objection
Mr.. Dempsey called for an aye and nay
vote.
Another discussion arose in which Mr..
McGovern asked that Assistant City So

Mr.. McGovern took the remark up and
said he did not want Mr.. Dempsey by
inference, to place him in a position he
did not occupy. The Eleventh ward mem
ber then explained his position. He said
that tho reason he made the motion TO

COMPANIES RAISE
MONEY FOR CHURCH

The members Of Harrison street NJ.
z. Church have been divided into COM
panies Of 20 or more to raise funds
to meet the expenses Of building a
sunday school annex. Each COM
pany has agreed to provide 500 for the
sum due this year. The annex was
built at a cost OF $1,000. which is to be
paid in three installments. The first
was provided last year. The second
is now due.
But with better facilities and
graded system the Sunday school has
so expanded the past six months that
the board is compelled to provide two
more rooms for the school, which will
cost $1,000. A generous friend offered
500 Of this amount, il the church
raises the remaining $500.
Thus the church must raise 81 500:
$1,000 on last years building and $500
for the new rooms.

consider plans.

said Mr.. Glimmerton. "how pie

"But probably such signs are not
intended to deceive, but only TO con-
vey that these are pies of superior
excellence, such as mother used 10

ing not their origin but their quality.
"And home made is phrase that
