OLOEH-TIIIIE FAKER KNEW HOW TO GET THE COIN Was a ‘'Doctor” or “Painless" Dentist as Occasion Required—Drew Crowd by Aid of Show and Then Sailed in to Fly His Trade. Chicago.—John Salatkiel. who hr.s been a faker for the last 25 years, worked it at all ends and considers Himself somewhat of an authority on the game," says “the business ain't what it was once. Nowadays a faker is a man who stands on the curb and tries to sell you something you think vou want because it's uevv to you. He’s the man who dopes hothouse lowers and sells you an armful for a lickeL He's the man who obstructs the sidewalk with mechanical toys ;nd makes you pay as much for them as you would have to pay in the stores. He sells noise-makers on ev ery holiday. He ain't like the old men at the game. "Twenty-five years ago I started in the faker business as a kid of IS and the life I led gave me as much ex perience as Mark Twain's life as a Mississippi pilot gave him. I've had i lot of fun out of it, but I can't say I'n< better cff financially than if I'd taken up a trade or opened a store "It's all of 25 years ago that a doc tor came to me. “ 'I've got a cure-all I want to put an the market,' says he. 'What'll i do, an' how'll I do it?' “ 'Money back of it?' I asks. “ 'Plenty,' says he. “ 'Leave it to me.' I tells him. and I g-^ts busy. "Do I put it on the curbs? I do not. ( dig up a couple of fellows who are doing a blackface stunt, an’ I tells I em I wants to hire 'em. Work two hours every ev'nin' an' loaf around all Jay. Then I digs up an Indian family ' I've met—of the Kolipec tribe, or j somethin' like that. 'You for the road.' says I. 'Corn dance, war dance. ; whoopla, painted faces an’ feathers. ' There's four of ’em—father, mother, in' 'wo sons, with the squaw and big chief so ofd their faces are all ! .hopped up. So I starts my troupe. “We carry a tent. We hire a big vacant lot. Our Indians peddle bills: Old-Time Faker. ‘Bis concert! Free! Free!' Show starts at eight, but the lot is crowd ed at seven—always. Towns of all sizes gets our aggregation. No favor ites—Punxsutawney or Philadelphia Succasunny or Syracuse, Utica ot Ithaca. Curtain draws back. My twc actors tell stories, dance. I comes oul with a line of talk. Tell the merits ol the dope. Indians come on. Corn dance. ‘Ladies an' gents, while w« have a song or banjo solo, Chiel Thingambob, squaw and sons will pass the bottles around. Fifty a throw.' Make a great spiel; short though. Seli to fine business. "Dope was great stuff to draw tht crowds," he went on. “I got a jot once sellin’ stuff to cure a toothache Had a knife sharpener an’ a package of pills for indigestion. Used to have a wagon with a sign on it. I was Doctor Saiathiel in them days—plug hat. Prince Albert coat, and all the fixings. At night I’d light my kero sene lamp out on the public square an' get the crowd. Did a ventriloquist itunt. Had a dummy I told stories with, to, at an’ from. “Was I ever a painless dentist? 1 was. I drove a carriage through the middle west—others had them in the east, an’ there was some in the south. “I’d have some dope to sell that took the pain away from an achin' tooth long enough to let you get it pulled out, and to make the pullin' out without pain. Many a time I*ve jerked teeth under the glare of my kerosene lamp, but the game’s played out. “Those were good old days,” sighed Saiathiel. “Money was free and easy then, but you have to work for ll now." 1.

DEATH VALLEY IN HAS ANOTHER WAD SPENDTHRIFT MINER STARTS AGAIN TO CONQUER NEW YORK. HAS A POCKET FULL OF COIN Arrarg-s for a Special Train From Rsna and Promises to Startle the Metropolis, Where He Is Awaited With Open Arms. New York.—Scotty is in the lime iignt again. The famous Death Val ey miner who astounded the country some years ago by his spectaculai nanner of travel, has reappeared after t long period of quiet and announced :hat he has recovered his fortune. The original story was that Scotty got rich lining and spent his money on spe rial trains and other luxuries merely for the joy of spending it; but there was always a suspicion in New York that Scotty’s exploits were intended :o precede the selling of stock or othej business enterprises. Scotty disap peared as quickly as he had appeared ind nothing was heard of him for a ong time. Now he has turned up with another fortune, and very probably with the same ambition to shine in the public eye. That portion of tbe effete east whicl giwes up its time to taking people ir is at tiptoe over the news. Word tomes from Goldfield, Nev., that Scot ty has appeared there with {11,000 it his trousers pockets and has an nounced that his mine over in the se cret recesses of the Death Valley has given up another fortune in gold. Ke wouldn't tell where the mine is lo rated, but he went to the Godlfield railroad station, and. said he: "I'm Scotty of Death Valley. I'vt got $11,000 in my kicks and more where I can reach it and I want tc hire a special train to go to New York next week. How much'il she cost?” Scotty was told that the price would he about $3,000. He paid for the train then and there and is only await ng the efforts of the Goldfield tailors “Scotty" in Characteristic Pose. :o make him beautiful before hurrying on to the metropolis. It was five years ago that Scotty ol Death Valley sprouted into notoriety by rushing across the continent in * special train to spend a fortune ol $100,000 in New York. This money he had dug from some mines thal yields to him alone, for no one else has ever been able to find it He was allowed to buy more champagne »nd lobsters for chorus girls than any man who had been playing spendthrifl in the big city in many years. Whei his money didn't go fast enough ii corks and glasses he began throwing it around in the street > New York's Tenderloin never knev such a gay two weeks as Scotty gave it Then he suddenly blew up. He went broke so flatly that he had tt borrow the money to get out wesi again and he had to borrow mining tools at Goldfield to work his secret claim in Death Valley. Six months ago in Reno Scotty turned up without a sou. His friends shook their heads then and said that his wonderful mine had failed. But with another fortune and a special train—and New York waiting—it looks as though there might soon be another gorgeous outpouring of the miner's gold on the Tenderloin. Rancher Dragged for Days. Glasgow. Mont.—The mutilated body of Lawrence Soboleski, a sheep ranch er near the Canadian line, was broughl to town in a badly decomposed condl tion. He left the camp about a week ago on horseback, leading a wild horse by a rope tied around its neck, and It Is supposed he got tired of holding the rope and tied it to his arm, and in some manner he was jerked froir his mount and dragged to death.

Washington.—The whole tariff re vision legislation question will be set tled this week, which in ail probabili ty will mark the closing of congress Almost all of the members of both houses are anxious to get home, de- v spite the vociferations of the revision ists that they willingly would remain in session until autumn if the legisla tion they want could be enacted. All the power of the democratic par ty, and of the effective democratic progressive republican coalition in the senate will he centered cn quick ac tion in the trio of pending tariff meas ures. This means, in the belief j>t leaders of both parties, an adjourn ment possibly by the end of the week, or at any rate, within a few day3 thereafter. uui o: ine present tangiea situation, with, the three tariff bills—wool, free list and cotton, varying stages of leg islation. the wool measure will be the first to emerge. A complete agree ment between the two houses has been reached on this bit of legisla tion. which provides for a basic aver age duty of 2D per cent ad valorem on raw wool, with the wool classification provisions identically a3 framed by Democratic Leader Underwood of the house, making a flat tariff on all wools. It will be rushed past its final stage in the house by adoption of the conference report Monday and then hurried over to the senate for adop tion there, if possible. Tuesday, and then on to the expected presidential veto, which awaits all the tariff revi sion bills. f Everything hinges on that veto and the immediately subsequent move-in the house. The democratic leaders are sure of the passage of the bill over the president's veto in the house but are doubtful of the outcome in the senate. Passage over a veto requires a twa-thirt^s - majerky. The free list bill and the cotton bill are still hung up. The conferees on the free list have disagreed to the single house amendment, adding lemon3 to the free list and to the Kern senate amendment limiting free importation of meat and cereal pro ducts to those countries which have reciprocal trade arrangements with the United States. They have agreed on all the other amendments and the confe-enee report will be presented to both bouses Monday. There will be a give and take outcome, with a pos sibility of each side receding and con curring with the other's amendments so as to obviate the necessity of send ing the free list bill back to confer ence.

Beal filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, giv ing liabilities of 51,090,000, and no as sets other than a law suit for the re covery of $40,000. Investigate Senator’s Election. Washington.—A legislative inquiry into alleged irregularities in the elec tion of United States Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin was directed in a resolution adopted by the senate. Togo's Gift to Roosevelt. New York.—Admiral Togo, hero of the sea, paid a warrior’s tribute to Colonel Roosevelt, moving spirit in the peace of Portsmouth. Apparently Roosevelt, the fighter, had appealed to the Japanese admiral rather than Roosevelt, the peacemaker, for when he marched up Sagamore hill to meet the former president, he carried Mr. Roosevelt a two-foot miniature of a suit of armor. This souvenir was done in glistening metal with exquisite workmanship, enclosed in a mahog any box.
