Minnesota Farmer Lost His
Wad Of $500.
TO SLICK STRANGERS
He Was About to Sail for England for
a Visit and Wanted to Change
His MOney-went to Wrong
t1 Parties.

Boston, June 16.--A brace Of bold
buneoe men succeeded in working a
scheme BY which they got away with
$500 in good American money just out
side the federal building on the corner
Df Devonshire and Water streets short
" after / o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The victim was James Chadwick, aged
65, fairly well-to-do farmer from far
of Minnesota, who reached town early
In the day on his way to take passage
on the steamer Saxonia with his wife
and daughter to visit folks in England
The old man, with his wife and daugh.
ter, after reaching the Cunard dock, got
an idea that 1t would be a good idea 10
get their ready American money changed
into English money, and accordingly the
old man came over to State street. He
had $500 with him, and on reaching
State street fell in with the two swind-
lers, to whom he confded his mission.
He said that he was anxious to get
his $500 changed, whereupon the rogues
proceeded 10 show him how and where

seemed to be the leading spirit, said he

handed him over the $500. The thief a
moment later entered the postofice BY
the Water street entrance, and this was
the last seen of him. After a wait OF
20 minutes, finding the fellow didn't
show up, Mr., Chadwick entered, to look
for him.
He Of course found no trace Of the
buncoe man, and the fact that he had
been robbed soon dawned upon him.
The old man whose hands wers
cracked and hardened BY toll, in a talk
with Captain Hathaway, the watchman
at the federal building, explained his
experience with the rogues
He appeared to feel very badly over
his loss, as the $500 he had given the
thief was all he had with him. He de-
sclibed the man who had taken the
money as about 40 years old, feet 10

SAYS COMMISSION HOUSES REPRE-

bandman Is Victim Of Crooked

The market places 10 which the grow
er sends his goods represents as consist
entity low an order of commercial morals
as may be found in the entire country,
says Forrest Crissey, in the june Every
body's.
TO the tender mercies Of the unspeak-
able eprowlers in the garden" who de-
grade these market places, every one Of
the hundreds Of thousands Of American
growers must submit himself before he
can reach US. These growers are in
every portion Of the country Theirs
are the apple orchards OF Washington
and New York; the peach orchards OF
Georgia and OF Michigan; the onion
fields Of Texas, and the cranberry
marshes Of Maine. To New York City
alone they send butter to the market
value Of S2s000000 annually; eggs, ten
thousand carloads Of them, to the mar
ket value Of S25 100000; potatoes, sew
enty-fve carloads a day, or 1851 ,53a
barrels year; apples, 2,ll2,7l7 barrels.
And Of apples, the Produce News, ana
lying last years crop as applied to New
York, says that the great bulk Of the
common and cold storage grades went
into the coolers at two dollars bar
rel'
These figures merely hint at the totaf
volume OF the business in the country.
Other centers, great and small, buy pro-
portionately, and, seeing merely the fig
ures, one might be inclined to cry,
Great is the American husbandmanlD
But what is the factl The grower, scat
tered all over the country, is for the
most part without organization, and hn
markets are miles 10 thousands of miles
from his fields. He cannot reach US or
know US who consume his product. But
the middle man, the commission mer-
chant, centers in cities, at railway juno
tions, and at points where freight ships
unload. He sends his agents and his
alluring circulars into faring districts,
soliciting business, promising the high
est market prices for crops when they
shah he harvested, and even paying
something in advance to make certain or
deliveries. And this would be good and
useful business for an concerned II the
commission man were straight But
only too often he is crooked.

PROF. FOSTER WINS.
Still a Baptist BY Resolution Of Chicago
Conference.

SNAANAtA1ef
Chicago, June l6.-Prof. George Bur.
man Foster Of the university Of Chi
caeo is still a Baptist. At least he has
not been expelled from the Chicago Bap-
list Ministers Conference for eheresy."
II depends upon the personal attitude
Of the Baptist theologians as to whether
Prof. Foster is in good UNCONVENTIONAL
standing.
The full strength Of the Baptist min
istry in Chicago and vicinity fought
bitterly for four hours Monday over the
Foster case. The anti Fosterites say
the only reason that the university pro
fessor was not expelled bodily from the
ranks Of the ministers was because Of
a filbuster and parliamentary tactics on
the part Of q squad Of university Of
Chicago professors and friends Of Prof.
Foster which prevented a vote upon the
resolution offered BY the Rev. Johnston
Myers to throw Foster over the Baptist
wall
There was resolution adopted az the
finish Of the scorehing executive session
Of the ministers which is variously inter
prcted. Some Of the Baptists appear TO
think that Prof. Foster is perfectly vim
dicated by his fellow Baptists BY the
terms Of the resolution. Others declare
their belief that the resolution serves
fat and definite notice to Prof. Foster
to "move on" and to sever his official
connection with the Baptist denomina-
ton at the earliest possible moment.
The third view, held by the ultra bel
Hgerent element in the big room, IS that
the resolution is wishy-washy affair,
meaning nothing in particular and dapt-
ed by general consent 10 terminate bad
mess which constantly grew worse with
bitter personalities, charges and cross
charges injected by the ministers at
every step Of a stubborn fight This
element says the resolution decides
nothing and that Prof. Foster win be
elected summarily from the Baptist
conference NJ any Monday session at
which it may be convenient
The resolution terminating the hot
test church row which Chicago has seen
for many years was adopted by a vote
OF 80 to 81.
