A CHECK PUT ON THEFT.
POINTS ABOUT SEWING MACHINES
OP INTEREST TO WOMEN.
V.'ty It Is that it is Hardly Possible
to Steal One—A Sewinz Machine De
tective System that Beats Thieves.
It Costa Only $8 to Make One.
From the Washington Star.
“Yes, it is a very common thing for
people to run away with giving machine?,”
said a dealer to a Star reporter. “That
sort of offense is cimmitted usually not by
those who rent them but by installment pur
chasers. Any ono we do not know may
come in here and got a machine by simply
paying to down and contracting to fettle
for the balance by monthly payments of
each. Supposing the customer is di -
honest, there is nothing to prevent her car
rving off our property to another city w ith
out ever giving us another cent in addition
to the original SO. Nor in such a case are
we likely to Know whither she has gone.
Or we may lose track of a not over-consci
entious person through frequent charges of
residence in Washington. Thus it happens
that machines are constantly reported as
missing. And yet jou will be surprised to
learn that the actual and final loss of one is
a very rare occurrence.”
A DETECTIVE SYSTEM.
“How does that happen!”
“.Simply through the operation of what
might be caller! a very effective police sys
tem among dealers in sewing macnines. In
the first place every macliiue lias a number
of its own engraved on a little metal plate
by which it may be identified absolutely,
no two machines sent out from the factory
having the same number. When a machine
is sold its number is registered, together
with the names and address of the pur
chaser, and from that time this machine is
identified with the purchaser, to be traced
through her if she soils it. Let us suppose,
for example, that Mrs. Snooks buys
a machine of us. She pays #5
down and signs notes for monthly
payments covering the rest. The
price to her, on this instalment basis, is
#55, although the cash price is only S4O;
this leaves a considerable margin to cover
loss, you see. When she\akes the machine
we register in our books Mrs. Snooks of No.
1!K)3 Q street as having bought machine
No. 10,270,428. Now, it happens that Mrs.
Snooks is a cheat; she is on the point of
moving to another town far away, and it
lia3 occurred to her that it would be a good
idea to get a first-ciass saw iog inachino for
$5. So she packs it up and takes i: with
her I,(WOmiles in some direction unknown.
A month later our ageut calls at No. 1900
y Street and finds the bird flown with the
machine. No one knows where she has
gone, but it is understoed that she has left
the city.”
COSE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
‘•Then you are left?”
“Not at ail. Of course, it is barely pos
sible that we may never see that machine
ag in, but the chances are enormously in
favor of our getting it back. To begin
with, we make a note of the number of the
machine missing and send that number to
the Sett ing Machine .Journal for advertise
ment in the regularly published list of miss
ing machines. That is all that is necessary
for us to do. Now, Mrs. Snooks has gone to
St. Louis, let us suppose. She gleefully
works the treadle of her $55 machine,
secured for $5, and smiles to think how
clever she is and of the injured feelings of
the sowing machine dealer in Washington.
After a few months have elapsed
some little part of the mechanism
bleaks down and it is necessary to have
it mended. She has from our company
a guarantee to keep the machine in repair
for five years, and her first notion is to go
to the shop in St. Louis wt ere the sort of
machines we sell are on tale and have the
damage fixed. But she is too clever fdr
that. Better keep away entirely from the
company which owns that machine. So
she goes to another company’s shop and
says that she has a machine that needs
mending. AVill they fix it for her? Imme
diately the question is returned, ‘ls it a
machine of our manufacture !' ‘No,’ is the
reply, ’iny machine is a so-and-so.’ ‘ln
thnt ease, madam, it will be necessary for
you to take your machine to the agency
hero of the company that made it. It is tho
rule invariable in this business that no sow
ing machintwcompany shall repair a machine
of another company.’
NO WAY OUT OF IT.
“ ‘But lam willing to pay liberally for
it,’ says Mrs. Snooks.
“ ‘lt is impossible, madam,’ responds the
clerk, his suspicious uiready aroused. The
woman is in luck if he does not find out
where she lives and communicate to the
agency for Mrs. irnooks’ kind of machi ie his
notion that there is stolen property of that
company at hor ad iress.
“However, the clerk knows so well the
trap she is in—supposing his suspicion justi
fied—that maybe he doesn’t take the trouble
to do this. And Mrs. Snooks, after trying
two or three other agencies, is finally driven
to send her machine to bo repaired at the
shop representing the company it belongs
to. After all, sho thinks, it cannot be re
cognized. How can they know in St. Louis
that the machine she bought in Washing
ton has not been paid for. But it so hap
pens that, upon receiving the machino, the
agent looks at the number, as is his business
habit, and sees at once that the instrument
was not bought in St. Louis. A list of all
the missing machines in the United States,
clipped from the Sewing Machine Journal,
is pasted up over his desk. He finds in that
list the number 10,570,438. The machine is
a stolen one, palpably. It is a very simple
matter —the company has regained its prop
erty, that is all—and to find out w here it
was stolen from is ascertained at once by
another reference to the list. Mrs. Snooks
is promptly communicated with and in
formed that the machine, being the prop
erty of the company, will bo retained by
its agent. The agency in Washington is
notified of the capture and all is well, un
less it is with Mrs. Snooks, who feels not
unnaturally disgusted at being cheated out
of her machine.”
TRYING ANOTHER DODGE.
“Hut suppose Mrs. Snooks, instead of
keeping the machine, swaps it off for an
other of a different sort?”
“She would be very apt to try to conceal
the theft in that way by getting rid of the
machine, which stands ready to accuse her
at any moment. But if she tries such a
thing she will quickly have reason to regret
I'. for the suspicions of theagent with whom
she tries to niako the deal will bo at once
aroused. He will wonder why she should
wisti to dispose of a nearly new machine,
not long bought evidently, ffor one of an
other pattern, and his curiosity will at all
events be strong enough to make him take
a glance at the number of the machine, and
see if it corresponds with any one m the
missing list. Sure enough he finds the
number 10,276,438 in the list is missing, and
at once notifies the agency of the company to
which it belongs that Mrs. Snooks of such
and-such an address has a machine for
which that company is looking. The said
company loses no time in demanding it,
and Mrs. Snooks, if she is a prudent woman,
"ill promptly give it up. If she resist
and such things sometimes occur—a little
I recess of law accomplishes the result with
*ts for Mrs. Snoaks. A stolen machine
''*n hardly escape. The very canvasser*
nbo go around trying to sell machines are
a ways on the lookout for them. If a
woman tells a canvasser that sho already
mis a machine and doesn't wunt another he
a-hs permission to see it and takes an inci
dental squaint at the number. Supposing
' hat the numbered plate were removed
b om a machine suspicion would be at once
‘‘touted by the fact. No, lielteve me, there
0° money in stealing sutriug machines.”
CHEAP ENOUGH TO BEGIN WITH.

! head,but that is unusual as I have remarked.
; However, we I*e not a little by the
, u ur ® i ,:s tallme t f urchasTi t > make
tbe.r payments. Buyers on installment
j are always people narrowly pressed for
I money. A j ersun otherwise situated would
j hardly pay a tonus of sls on a #4O machine
; for the sake of getting a few months’credit,
i amounts to giving nearly 40 per cent, for
j the use of the cash. Accordingly it is not
surprising that customers who get machi- os
from us in this way, are, as a rule, behind
in fu filling their contracts. Indeed, they
are very apt to be many months in arrears,
ami nothing short of a threat to take Pack
our property, which does not become theirs
until they have paid tho last dollar accord
ing to law, will in many cases produce
money from them. They are very apt to
express gre it annoyance and
DISGUST AT BEING DUNNED,
notwithstanding the fact that their notes of
hand are long overdua. Aiw lys they have
some plausible excuse for uot paying, nnd
the next week, which never comes, will
bring a date wheu they will find it conven
ieit to settle. Often women who have been
delinquent come here and off r us tears as a
substitute for dollars, but long practice in
the business has rendered us insensible to
such appeals, though iu a case that roallv
seems a hard one we are always willing to
investigate and make suitablo allowance of
time. A machine goes through several
bauds before reaching the consumer; freight
costs money, we must pay the canvassers,
people must be kept in our employ to teach
purchasers how to use the machine,
any any one who brings in a
friend to buy one expects from $0 to
$•1 commission for herself. Pei sous
who rent machines are usually pretty
prompt with their money. Those who buy
machines iu Washington mostly get t hem
on installments. This is a great town for
1 laying things on credit. A large per
centage cf Washington people seem to live
on time, as ono might, say, even eating on
the credit system and going around in
clothes they owe for—the houses they
occupy on trust by the month furnished
with everything from rngs to be i clothing
on tick. The installment system seems to
have pervaded the whole city, so that all
things are getting to be sold on that 1 lan,
and men swarm all over the town collecting
from 25 cents to $2 a week from a popula
tion that is willing to pay from 20 to 50 per
cent, for tno use of what is equivalent to a
little money ahead of what has been
earned.”
PENNSYLVANIA ‘VOODOOI3M.’’
How Brown, the Colored Barber,
Imposed Upon Credulous Women.
' A Philadelphia letter says: “Prof. Albert
Brown, who has Joeau arrested in Wost
Chester, charged ‘voodooing’ a mar
ried woman there* is widely known in this
city, where he carried on an extensive prac
tice for some years. His patients were not
confined to the colored people, but iti some
cases he prescribed for the higher and more
fashionable elements of society. In 1886 he
opened an office on Green street, above
Seventh, where ho professed to cure every
imaginable disease and drive away ‘spells.’
Among his patients was Mary Buekus, a
colored woman, who imagined she was
constantly besieged by devils, who tried to
ensnare her from the path of righteousness.
“An herb medicine was first given to tho
woman for external use. and a small bottle
of leaves was also given her to carry in her
stocking for keeping the evil spirits away
while on her visits to the doctor’s office.
Each time he prescribed for her he began
the seance with a prayer, striding about
the room gesticulating with his arms and
calling upon the Great Prophet to come to
the assistance of the woman, after which
he would rub both her neck and arms with
oil.
“A small charm, representing an ancient
French coin strung on a small wire, was
also given to tho woman to wear about hsr
neck. She was assured that as long as she
wore this'the approach of evil spirits was
an impossibility, and upon her death, if th
charm was buried with her, she was sure to
escape the torments of the devii. The
woman became perfectly converted, and
during her treatment paid him tiea ly $43,
which she obtained from her husband’s sav
ings. But the husband of the woman heard
of the affair and visited the doctor, and
threatened, unless the money was returned,
to have him arrestod. To escape this
dilemma the ‘doctor’ returned part of tie
money, A prominent society woman en
rolled herself among the new patients, and
entreated the ‘professor’ to restoro to her
the alienated affections of her husband.
“His treatment in this case was similar to
that of a clairvoyant. Locking the woman
in a dark room, he called upon the unseen
spirits to tell tho name of the unfaithful
husband’s latest love. He gave the woman
a small box of powder which he instructed
her to sprinkle over her husband’s pillow
nightly and assured her that the effects of
the powder would be manifested by nn irre
sistible longing on the part of
the wayward spouse to be constantly
with his wife. Womanlike, the do
luded wife confidently told her most
intimate rriends of the wonderful professor,
and inashort time ait of them found some
excuse to visit him. The ‘doctor’ was reap
ing a rich harvest until the coachman of
one of the ladies told her husband of his
wife’s frequent visits to the ‘professor.’ An
investigation by a private detective dis
closed mat the physician was practicing
without being registered according to law.
Before the preparations were completed to
arrest Brown, he received information of
tho work of the police, and suddenly left
town.”

Some of the fruit-growers of Butts county
are apprehensive that the cold has injured
the peach crop, as a great many trees upon
close examination are found to bo dead.
The oat crop was thought to be killed, but
they are coming out and will be a fair stand.
The upland oats were injured more than
those on bottom land. The farmers are
draining their hot urn land and giving some
attention to hay raising, claiming that it is
the most profitab.e crop they can make.

let him, for if I did get better I would Lave r.o
control of them.
The disease continued in this manner until 1
was seventeen years old, ami o.ie day in Janu
ary, 1*79. I read an account in th 3 Tribune of
your Cuticura Remedies. It described my case
so exactly that I thought, as a last resort, to
give them a trial.
Wheu 1 first applied them I was All ra v and
bleeding, from scratching myself, but 1 went
asleep almost immediately', something I had
not done for years, the effect was so soothing.
The first morning after using it my flesh 1 1 had
no skin only ou the end of my nose) was a pink
color. Next day it was kind of white, and 1
could place my hands on the sore3 without it
being painful. In about two weeks 1 could stand
straight, but not walk, I was so weak; but my
sores were nearly well.
As I can judge. 1 was cured in about
six to eight weeks, and up to this date (i. e.,
from Jaunary, 1873, to January, 1887,) 1 have
not been sick in auy way, or have had the least
signs of the disease reappearing on me. I have
an excellent appetite, have the very best of
health. My limbs are straight, supple and
strong. I have been exposed to all sorts of
weather without the least signs of tho disease
yet. The only difference I find in myself is that
my skiu is liner, softer, and not so liable to get
chapped as is other persons'.
No doubt many persons will uot bel eve this
almost improbable story, many will think it
grossly exaggerated. I don't blame a bit if they
do, but to satisfy themselves, they can call or
write to me and flud out if what I have written
above is true or not. There are m tuy persons
who can testify to tbe wonderful cure I hare re
ceived by your Cuticura Remedies.
