Whilo in Perthshire recently Queen Vic

explained why she wished to see him. 4,I

She was alio witl to proceed no further. In
stantlv the old chief laid his hand upon her

humoring the gruff old Jacobite, sho added:
"You know that I too, havo Stuart blood in

"an 1 v.ero it not for that you would not bo

This "p lain speaking, which rather startled

THE DUPES' DIRECTORY.
VALUABLE LIST8 WHICH ENABLE
SWINDLERS TO CATCH VICTIMS.
How the City Directories are Compiled
and Card to Flood the Mall Explana
tion of Koide Advertisement and
Swindling; Circulars.
It ban often puzzlwd iople to understand
Low tho jxitty swindlers of our great cities
tiucood in flooding the country with their
circulars, and in almost every instance get
ting their propositions to people who, if they
do not become dupes, at least read or con
sider them. J udging by tho number of let
ters sent to the New York postoffice authori
ties every day by people who have received
propositions to buy counterfeit money or to
engage in other nefarious schemes, several
thousand swindling circulars must leave New
Y'ork every evening for different parts of thi
country. And the question naturally comet
up: How do these swindlers get hold of the
names of several thousand persons every day 1
Tlio answer is that this collection of names
and tho distribution and sale of lists of names
of possible dupes is a systematized business
which bus been carried on for yearv by sjxxial
ists, and probably affords a very handsome
income to a score of sharpers whose sole stock
in trade is that they control whole books full
of names and addresses.
Of course, in a large city like New York
there are plenty of legitimate calls for lisfc
of pei-sons who may bo interested in buying
this or that article, and several well known
publications are devoted to the compilation
of such lists. Borne business men want only
rich jieople, because their wares are costly ;
others want only poor iooplo, because they
offer schemes for the saving of pennies. Each
trade has its special lists. One man has a list
of tdl the doctors in the country, another of
all the dentists, another will mil a list con
taining every milliner, etc., etc. Each trade
journal is supposed to possess a list of all the
business houses throughout the country in its
special line. The compilation of such lists
calls for nothing more than ordinary indus
try and business intelligence, and yet when
done such a list may be absolutely indispen
sable to a business house wishing tP put a
certain article before the country. The liest
known ways of preparing such lists are very
simple. One list of all tho doctors of the
United States, which was shown the writer,
bad been compiled from the medical direc
tories of every state and county and from
tho city directories in each large town. For
all practical purjioscs it is a perfectly relia
ble list of sohio 10,000 medical men. Tho
methods in other businesses are similar,
Iu tho business of cgmpiHug lurta for
swindlers there is an entire change in the
methods used, and a peculiarity which will
be noted at once by inquirers is that a dupes'
directory, as such a list may be termed, is
composed preferably of persons in difficulties.
When a tnan iih8 to bell oap to grocers or
householders, or diamonds to rich people, ho
wishes every name on the list of people to
whom he will send circulars to represent a
solvent jierson, better still if actually rich.
With the compiler of a dupes' directory it is
entirely different. Experience l;aa taught
ho awindlef who uses the'maU 'for acounter
feit scheme, or, in technical phrase, a "green
goods" enterprise, that it is well to address
people in sore need of money. Tho man in
good circumstances will not bo likely
to consider favorably a prppyititoi to
mm in imputation for' tho gain of a
fjw dollars. So that one method of com
piling lists of persons who ma- bo ex
pected to send $10 in order to get $100 of
counterfeit money has been to note down tho
namo of every business man or farmer who
ha3 a mortgage or a judgment entered against
him in tho county register's ofiice. The
small farmer struggling against a mortgage
may listen to the tempter. In anoaer branch
of tha swindling buiinoss by mail, not con
nected with offers of counterfeit money, the
lists aro supposed to contain only the names
of persons of very moderate means, because
they alone would be likely to. b.uj? cheup
jewelry, fifty cent diamond rings, silver
plated spoons at $1 a dozen, etc. For the
purposo of getting at such people, the tax
lists are gono over and all tho rich people
weeded out.
Besides Uio actual copying off of lists of
names which are found in the public build
ings of every small town on the tax list or
real estate records, a common method em
ployed by dealers in such lists is to send, put
circulars couched as follows:
"Dear Sin We are engaged in the manu
facture and sale of one of the best stoves
ever made in this country. It is a patent
device, whereby a novel arrangeneut of
draughts enablns you to save 50 per cent, of
tho amount of cool used in other stoves; the
grate is also a patent one, which enables you
to save 25 per cent, of the coaL so that within
a year the stove will pay for itself. We feel
that this stovo will be a blessing to the, com
munity and that it is a charity to introduce
it. We therefore wish tq make you the fol
lowing offer: If you will send us the names
and addresses of 250 persons living in your
town we will send you a valuable engraving
worth at least $5, and if our circulars to, tho
persons whose nanjes you seni result in tha
ale of more than five stoves we will send
you ono stovo gratis,"
No one but those in the. business, havo any
idea of the number of persons who go to
work and write out the 250 names and send
them on, never to hear any more of the won
derful stove or its manufacturers. But, if
they were to inquire carefully, they would
discover that some o! the persms, whu&o
names they have given, were invited sooner
or later to buy counterfeit nioucyor fifty
cent diamond rings. This method of obtain
ing names has been going on for years, and
some of the rascals who thrive upon i aVP
bold enough, to advertise, in tha country pa
pers that they will send their engravings in
return for names. A gentleman who has had
considerable" experience in ferreting out
swindlers who usq tho mails said that the
whole stock la trado of many of these
swindling concerns consists in their lists cf
names; therefore, they are willing to pay
well for a list which is known to be reliable.
Tho average r rice to swindlers who offer to
sell counterfeit money is said to be fifty
cents for overy 100. names, and it " is' agreed
that the lists must be returned in good order
after having been once used, so that somo
new kind of game may be tried upon the un
fortunates whose names are upon it. When
tho swindlei wants to try a new game be hag
to buy bis list from, the regular dealec and
pay Ins fifty cents a 100,
' Whenever a scheme is broken up by tho
authorities an attempt is made to seize the
list of dupes, and invariably the attempt i
foiled. Evidently tb,e, expert in. $hia kind
of business, know the money value of such
Iist3, which are guarded with the utmost
care. That these lists ore not always thor
oughly reliable is often shown by the invita
tions to buy counterfeit money or chromos
: 6cnt to persons long since dead. And it io
also tho common experf euce'qt persons who
send their name3 for one of the gorgeous
presents offered for nothing in so many o( j
the country papers to receive for yenra. cir
culars of every description inviting them to
buy chromos or canvass for washing pow
