To Swindlers
tew , Yotr. o tine 4.- Making „ a
fortune in New York by
■of some postage stamps and j
fluency of the English language j J
if, not going to be so easy in the
future as it has been in the past,
according to United States Dis¬
trict Attorney Henry A. Wise,
who talked regarding the success
of the government in its first two
big cases against fake stoese sell-
ng concerns
By the recent conviction of
veorge H. Munroe and six of the
officers of the United; States
tireless , Teiegraph Company,
lie government has put a
•*r upon the game of relieving
men and women throughout the
country of their money in return
for well written letters and rain-
i»ow promises
Revelations following the two
lorosecutions thus far conducted
by the government officials here
..how that within three years
men and women in various parts
of the United States sent checks,
postoffice orders' and cash to the
amount of $6,000,000 to swindlers
i n this city. The government
has now four cases pending in
which it will show that the
amount sent here in response to
'come-in-letters” was really
ireat.
This brings the total to $4,-
000,000 yearly sent by confiding
investors in the different states
io the city for which the govern¬
ment claims nothing was given
m return. Several other citizens
if a smaller nature are now be¬
ing investigated, with arrests
likely any day, t when these cases
are tried together with bucket-
;.hop industry, pool rooms and
other get-rich-quick schemes,
j tappeared that the kind-hearted
citizens of the country are con¬
tributing from $8,000,000 to $12,-
000,000 each year for the support
-•if the men in this city who have
been educated to believe there is
no work like working the people.
This would be a little less
than $35,000 a day and how far
below the truth this may be is
indicated that at the time of the
:caid upon Burr Bros., whose case
is now awaiting trial, $25,000
was found in the morning’s mail
of the firm.
The stories told the prosecut¬
ing officers and upon the witness
stand by witnesses brought from
all parts of the country so as to
impress the jurors with an idea
of the wide spread nature of
some of the swindles are so amaz¬
ing as to be almost beyond belief.
It appears to matter little what
is bold but in the way of bait.
In some case3 money is sent for
speculation in mines that real do not
(Must; sometimes for estate
the letter writers do not own,
and sometimes for wonderful
machines that have been invent¬
ed excepting upon paper.

Washington, June 4.—When¬

Save Your Boys And Your Girls
“Tins Book,” writes Dr. Louis Loag, Rockaway, N- J., refer-
! ngtoH. Wettstein’s new volume, THE 7ELEO«MECHANICS OF NATURE
AND SUBCONSCIOUS MINDS, “Wn.i, Save Thousands « >f Boas and Girls
Into Whose Hands it is Placed.” The doctor alluded in particular
to Parts VI, VU and VIII entitled: “The Ethical Significance of
Procuration. (< The Evolution of the Human Mother,” and “The
Evolution of the Human Father,” Also to those chapters which
t reat of the prevention and cure of disease by thetaost modern methods.
Thus Dr. A. M. Wilton. Alexandria, Minn., writes: "The chap¬
ters pertaining to our profession, such, for instance, as those which
explain the cause of malformations and how to avoid them (nob found
in any other medical work), and those which treat of the prevention
and cure of appendicitis, smallpox and other febrile diseases, are of in¬
estimable value to every one.”
Mrs. Velzora P. Andrews. Dorothy Q House. Quincy. Mass.,
writes: 1 4 Am reading THE TELE()-MECHANICS OF NATURE the
second time. It is grand and worth its weight in gold. The elevating
tone which pervades the entire volume, and wise counsel contained in
its concluding Parts, cannot fail to have a beneficial effect upon old
and young alike.”
Editor W. E. Towne, >f The Nautilus. Holyoke, Mass., “ad¬
vises those who are interested in solving the problems of human life
to read this book.”
President ,).|F. Rinn, of the Brooklyn Philosophical Association
on - of the wealthiest and most influential educational institutions in
the country,) states that "Never have the great problems affecting the
meal and physical welfare of our race been so thoroughly analyzed
and so ably elucidated as in II. Wettstein’s new medical work. THE
FELEO MECHANICS ()F NATURE.”
Dr. I). A. Alberti, 2014 Filmore Ni., San Francisco, writes:
■‘From medical viewpoints alone, not to say anything of its other admir¬
able features, Wettstein’s new volume is of incalculable value.”
Many other letters of same tenor may be seen at our office.
Price—Large (6x9 in.) volumes, in doth, gold embossed, $2.00.
Jo handsome paper cover, $1.50, Postpaid. and
Large 36-page pamphlets, containing a complete svnoposis
