Another Man Cashes a Check For n
Stranger.
It's the old , old storj' : A simple , trusting
man with n pocketful of cash , a new but in-
giatiating acquaintance , a third person and a
check. The newspapers havu exposed the
combination over and over again , but the
supply of sweet simplicity flows unqucnchl-
ble from the fount of human confidence.
An old man from the country was worked
successfully jesterday for $000 bj-
a confidence game ola enough
to join the ballot. Ho was mot bya pleasant ,
smooth spoken young man , who represented
himself as a son of Joseph Barker , of the
Bank of Commerce and insinuated himself
into the old man's confidence. Another
young man met them , accidentally of com so ,
and tendered No. 1 two $100 bills in settle
ment of an alleged business transaction.
No. 1 looked in bis pocket for small moncj-
to inaku change. Ho didn't find it ,
but ho did ilud a checic for fOOO. Ho
was sorrj' . If ho onlj' had time
to go to the bank ho could get the check
cashed , but ho couldn't think of leaving his
friend , the old fentlemaii , whom ho was
showing about. The result of the palaver
was the old man cashed the check as a favor
te his agreeable ncqulntance , and the two
swindlers soon found nn oppoitumtj' to leave
him.

When the victim "tumbled" to the game
ho notified the pnlico. In his convcisation
"tho son of Mr. Barker" represented himself
as living on Uodgo street , between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth , and Invited the old gentle
man to visit him at his home. The detectives
searched that neighborhood , but of course
found no trace of thu sharpers. Tlio joung
man's kind invitation to the stranger was
but an artistic embellishment to his gauio.

vigorously to one side of the table , and , whip
ping out his spectacles , adjusted them , then
looked at a morning newspaper , and with the
assistance of his good right hand , threw his
right leg over his left , and swung his foot to

changed his position , crossing the other leg
and lifting his feet about in a way which , to
him , was very lively. His efforts at dexterity
of movement attracted attention m the dining

me , as If we were upon equal terms , "How

my carewoin face 1 lifted my
lithe , gaunt figure to Its full
height and with absolutely nothing for a
background but a svinpithbiug horizon , I
asked him by what right ho took un Interest
in the state of my health. The blow told
well ; the dragon reeled and disappeared.
Haully had I got bick to my study and
settled down to my Sunday sermon when nn
impeltincnt caller asked mo if I was. aware
that the prophecy of Daniel was not written
until about 170 jears B. C. My mucous
membrane quiveteti ; a flood of vcrmlllion
poured tinough my wasted fcatuics , nnd I
foil in n swoon. I had trusted so much in
Daniel that I had risked untold consequences
on the date of his composition. I had added up
thu time and the times and the half times
nnd madu them exactly ronospoml with our
February 111 , and by mul'ipljing the two
horns of the ram by Daniel's birthday nnd
bv adding the he goat that pushed the ram
with the two horns I had spelled out the
name , Right Reverend Father in God , Lord
bishop of Liverpool. The candle filled clouds
of tobacco gathered around me in a spuit of
tender condolence and I was found next
morning by two policemen , who never found
anj thing else , wandering round and round a
pool repeating one of the rhapsodies of
Homer. Whether I can ever preach
again depends upon the rccovciy of my
\icalth \ , which for the time being ishopclesslj
shattered. If the date of Daniel had been
left me , how nobly I could have held on to my
chnstian faith , but the date of Daniel is gone
and what is left ? As I write these lines thu
pathetic past uses upon the classic ejc of my
imagination , and my dearest fuends , my
most familiar acquaintances , fall to
recognize in my wan giiof
wiinklcd face the countenance
of one who in earlier times simply read Dan
iel for what good was to be got out of him.
Now I am diivcn to the church of the

likely that Canada will annex the United
States. Mr. Illainc makes speeches in Can
ada , und there is no reason why all Ameri
cans should not follow his example. Ottawa
has a splendid capltol that cost $5OCO,000 , and
covers an area of over four acres. The capitol -
itol at Washington only covers thrco
and a quarter acres. After assuming
the t300,000UOO of the Canadian debt
it would only be a flea bite to buy the Ottawa
capltol , and then President Cleveland and
his cabinet , and the supreme court , und the
senate , and the house of representatives , the
lobbj ists , and all hands , might move up to
Ottawa which would become the capital of
this greater United States. In doing this Mr.
Cleveland would Do meiely following the ex
ample of James VI , of Scotland , who became
James I , of England. James I hi ought all
hands with him when ho mudo London his
capital. Let Mr. Cleveland do as King
James did and all will bo well.

01 al llairisou's last regular icecptlon to duj
for visiting delegations at least until after
the ' 'Oth inst , when it Is probable that these
delegation icceptions will bo icsumed foi a
period.
The first delegation of the day came fiom
HlulTtoii , ilaitfoid City , Montpolli'i and
other towns in Tlnckford and Wells coun
ties , Indiana They numbered 1,500 The
unlijuu featuio of the delegation fiom Wells
couutj was the presence of a uniformed
club of llftj-two ladies from UlutT-
ton , known us the Carrie Hani
son club" When Gcncial Harrison
appealed the.v were among thu first to gi cot
him. After the usual introductory addresses
were made ( Jeucial Hnirisou followed with
his response. His speech was confined to
matters of direct interest to Indiana people ,
whom ho addressed as hoosiers.
The Chicago delegations were late in tir-
riving this evening The first to leach the
city was n special tram bringing t,00 visitors
from Hvdol'aik , Pullman , Englcwood and
Lake View. They wore met at the depot
by several local clubs. Thu train was
profuscli decoiated with banners and flags.
At 8 o'clock another train pulled Into the
dnpot amidst the wild cheers of many thou
sands nnd the rattling ofaitilleiy. Itbiought
delegations comprising bOO members of thu
Chicago Union Veteran clubs , MX ) membeis
of the Veteran Union league , the Hluiuu

In addition to thesu uniformed 01 sanitations
neai ly a thousand other citizens aei ompanied
thu delegations , swellii.g thu grand total of
visitois from Chicago and vkmity to fully
thrco thousand. The.v brought with them n

accompanied tlio cannon und kept it red
hot ns the piocessiou was moved toward
Touilinson's ' hall , while a continued rattle of
local artilleri liom the rear of the marching
thousands and tlio dozen bands all treated
such a bedlam und confuslou of noises as
enl ) a Chicago ciowd can malcc.
It was 0 o'clock w hen nil tlio visitors had
entered Touilinson's hull , around which watt
congregated about ten thousand people. As
General Hnriison stepped upon the stage.
followed by Ex-Governor Hamilton , Stephen
A. Douglas , Captain Hcaluy and others ,
thuro ensued such a scene as was never
before witnessed in this city. Tlio cntiio
audience rose as one man and began cheer
ing and jelling and waving flags , hats and
even taking oft then coats and waving them
from the galleries Pinally some enthusiastic
veteran came forw aid bearing u silk flag of
thu Union Veteran club and began waving it
over Geneial Harmon's head. This
was the signnl for an intensified out
break , which giuw to a remuikablo
pitch us one after another moved
through the ciowded platform and carried a
flag to the front. As these flags and elegant
bnnncrs were waved to und fro the 0,000 people
ple IK ted as if they had gone cnuy. When
quiet had been icstorcd Judgu Martindalu
introduced ex-Governor Hamilton , who
made nn eloquent address on behalf of
the Chicago delegations. Hu was
followed by Judgu E. W. Knightly ,
of Hjdo Park , whose speech
evoked great applause. General Harrison
responded with much earnestness. Ho
said :
"Comrades and Friends : I welcome to
night for mjself nnd for our | > eoplo this
magnificent delegation. We have not bofoie ,
in the piocession of thesu great delegations.
soon its equal iu numbcis , enthusiasm and
cordiality. I rejoice in this convincing pi oof
that oui people realize the gravitj- and urg
ency of the issues involved in this campaign.
Our government is not a government
bv classes or for classes of our follow citi
zens. It Is u government of the people and
by the people Its wise legislation distils
its equal blessings upon the homes of the
nub and poor. Maj1 tlio God who hus to ,
long blessed us as u nation long defer that
evil day when penury shall bo a
constant quest in the homes of
our working people , and long preserve to us
that intelligent , thnftj and cheeiful body of
workmen that wus our strength in thu war
und is our guaranty of social orders in times
of peace. It was out of the homes ot our
working people that the grout urmj' came.
It was a strong aim , inured to labor on thu
farm or in thu shop , that bore up the flag
against thu shock of battle and lifted it again
in honor over our national capltol.
"After so manv historical illustrations of
the evil effects of abandoning the polity of
protection wo nro again confronted by the
suggestion that the principle of protection
shall be eliminated from our tariff legisla
tion. Have wo not hud enough
of such experiments } Does not the
history of our tariff legislation tell us that
everj' revenue tariff has been followed bj'
business and industrial depression , and that
a return to the policy of protection has stimu
lated our iiulustiies and set our throbbing
woikshops again in motion ! And jot again
and again the democratic party comes for
ward with the pernicious proposition.
"I had placed in my hands
j'esterdaj' a copy of the London News for
beptcmber 13. The editor SU.VK.III substance ,
that judging the purposes of the democratic
partj' by the executive message of last De
cember , thu English people wuro Justified in
believing that the party meant frco trade ,
but If they wore to accept the moiu icceut
uttcianccsof its leaders , protesting that that
was not tficir purpose , then the editor
thus states the Ksue presented bj' the demo
cratic partj' . I read but a single sentence :
'It is , at any rate , a contest botwucn protec
tion and something that is not protection. '
These who defend thu prcsunt democratiu
policy declare that our people
not onlj' pay a tariff duty up
on all imported goods , but that a
corresponding amount is added to thu pncu
of evoty domestic competing article. Thosu
who honostlj * hold such a doctrlno cannot
stop short of the absolute dcstmction ot our
proteetivo hjutcm. The man who teaches
such u doctrine and denies that ho
is on the road to free tiado
is like a man who takes passage
on a train scheduled from hero to Cincinnati
without a stop , and when the train Is speed
ing on its way at the rate of foitv miles un
hour denies that ho is going to
Cincinnati. The impulse of such
logic drawn tow.ud free trade
as surely and swiftlj as that engine pulls a
train to its appointed destination It inevi
tably hi ings us to the English rules of levy
ing dutms on such articles as wo do not produce -
duce ut home , such as tea and coffee.
"That is purely n luvcnuu tarilT and is
practically freu trade , Airalnst this the re
publican partj1 proposes that our tariff duties
shall bu levied chlctlj on competing articles ;
that our American workman shall
have thu benefit of discriminating duties
uK | > n tliu products of their labor
The democratic policy tiunsfors the work
from the shops of Chicago to Hlrmlngham.
When equal competition is oncu established
between our shops and foreign shops , there is
not a man hero who does not know that the
only condition under which the American
sbop can run is that it shall reduce wages to
thu level paid in the competing shops abroad.
This Is briefly thu whole story. "
General Harrison then made his way off
the stage , having concluded his fourteenth
wuek of public receptions with such a demon
stration of interest us was never boforu wit
nessed In Indiana.

I'ostinivster-lioupral .Intnos called at
the whllc'-houso ono night to sou Presi
dent Garlleld about the appointment of
a postmaster somewhere in Te.sns. Tlio
businc's" was arrange'il and as Mr.
.liunes was leaving the president called
him back and asked him what kind of a
man Hobortson , of New York , was.
James did not , fiom all accounts , gi\o a
very glowing description of Mr. Kol > -
ertsoii. In a few dajs < Mr. .lames called
at the room of Mr. Colliding in comp
any with Wayne MneVeagh , who was
attortiey-geueial. In the conversation
one of the visitors s.iid that ho had
been informed that the pipsldont had
nominated Uobortson for collector of
the port of New York and Merrill to bo
consul tit Liverpool.
"Do jou undet stand , " nsltcd Mr.
Colliding in his deliberate manner ,
"that the president hus determined
upon that ? "
The loply was that such was the cns > e.
Mr. Colliding said : "This is verj
lud , bull do not think matters ha\o
gone HO far but they can be reetillod ,
and 1 am sine when the president is
given all the facts that ho will ictiaco
his stops. Hu can do * o without injury
to himself or his parly. James , jou had
bettor go ana see him , and 1 suggest
that Mr. MacVeagh go with jou. "
The suggestion was acted upon al
most immediately. The visitors ex
plained their mission and asked the
president to do bomething in the matter
at once and biivo the party fiom what
would cot ttiinly be fatal. Mr. Uurfield
alwa.vs put his arm mound a m.in's neek
when he wanted to make the man feel
sure that his wants would receive favor
able consideration. On thin occasion lie
used both ainib , one each around the
neck of .lame * and MaoVe.igh , and to
both ho said : "Hojs , this shall bo ar
ranged in accordance with the wishes
of Senator Colliding. 1 want jou to go
to him. however , and tell him that 1
want to see him hero , with jou two , and
we will talk the matter over betvvcen us
so that thoie will be no aftorclaps. I
want to see Senator Colliding before I
do anything else. "
An evening was namedj for this con-
feionco.
Mr. Colliding was given an accurate
account of the visit and he consented to
go. On the evening named the three
met in Mr. Conlding's room. Mr. Conk-
ling was putting on IIIH gloves vvhen a
messenger came in and handed him a
telegram. It was in cipher. Ho sal at
his table and took out his cipher book
and tend the telegram.
"The color c.imo into his face , " said
the man who was talking , "and spicail
over it at > jou have been a cloud come up
in a summer slcy and spread from hori-
/on to hori/on. When he had finished
making out the message ho arose , took
olT his overcoat and said : 'Gentlemen ,
the little excursion which wo weio
about to make to the white house may
'
pioceed ifou . like , but not with me , 'i
cannot go. ' "
' Tlio others did not go. You know
what followed. You know that the nom
inations wore made and confirmed. "
"What was in the despatch ? " I asked.
"It was from Govoi nor Cornell. Cor
nell was Conlding'a political pupil.
Colliding had made him what ho was ,
and Cornell had sworn undying fealty
to Colliding , and Conlding trusted him" .
The despatch urged Conkling not to in
terfere with the nomination of Robert
son by Gartleld. Conklinir saw at once
that there was treachery browing. lie
saw that the machinery of the adminis
tration had been brought to boar upon
Cornell , and that if ho ( Colliding )
undertook to he-id oft Garfleld or
change his plan ho would do it in
the face of the executive of his own
state nnd that ho could not answer that
argument consistently. Hence ho re
fused to go and Garlicld proceeded.
There is no doubt but what Garfield in
tended to confront Conkling with Cor
nell if lie called
Great God , on what a slender thread
r.U'rnal things do hang.
If that messenger hud been late and
ConUling had gone to the white house
ho might have persuaded Garliold at
the last moment , in spite of Cornell's
weakness and lack of moral courage.
If ho had there would have been no dis
sension in the party. And if thoie had
been no dissension in the party there
would have boon no Guitoau. "
A Girl of Great Pluck.
Charles T. Ilurvoy , a New York busi
ness man , has his homo in a largo and
attractive place at Upper Njaok. A
Njuck dispatch s.iys : About a o'clock
0110 morning a window of the house was
gently raised and a man crawled si
lently through into ono of the rooms.
Tlio intruder then made his way up
stairs and entered the sleepin room oc
cupied by the domestic. In entering
the room the man made a slight noise.
This awoke the girl , nnd she quickly
rose , struck a light and held the mutch
directly in front of the face of the bur
glar. Tlio man appealed astonished at
boldness of the girl , and raised a re
volver which hu hold in one hand. The
girl , who i& a Swede nnd very muscular ,
graspud both arms of the man and hold
them as in a vise. He struggled to got
loose , but could not do so. At
one time ho raised the revolver high
enough to cover the brave girl'b heart ,
but she instantly foi cod his arm down
again , and the struggle continued. The
girl appealed to have no fear , and
thought of nothing save of capturing
tlio burtrlar without any assistance and
without giving an alarm.
The couple in their encounter reached
the head of the stairs leading to the
hall below , and the girl gave the man a
dcspoiato push , sending him down the
stairs with a rush. She followed him
and would have grappled witli him again
at the foot of thu stairs , but she lost her
footing and slipped p.ntly down. Thu
man , having had enough of the girl's
muscular handling , took advantage ; of
the opportunity to make his escape. IIo
raised a window and partly craw led and
partly fell out. The girl quickly re
covered lierself , anil attempted to got
to the window to push the sash down on
the retreating form , but she was too Into
and ho escaped.
She says she would tocognl/o the
burglar at any time if she should see
him. When asked whether she was not
iifinid she said , "No. I would have had
him sure if I hud not fallen. I am not
afraid of any man. "
