••I>eK|iite the lntra enacted to protect the

ever disgraced tlie fair name of Venice.
They abotrnd in every profession, flourish

delivered himself thus to a representative of
the Mail and Express, and as lio turned over
the bundle of papers in his hand, ho stopp
ed and, drawing out a brief, continued:
"Here is a case now of a young man that
will lie lncky if he escapes State prison,
whose downfall can be traced directly to one
of those Shylock* who lend money on sain-
ries."
“But not without security?
‘‘No, indeed But the security is of the
imund of flesh charnel*.. To a young man
wishing an accommodation they lend vari
ous sums undea fSO. For this accommoda
tion the dupe assigns s certain portion of
his salary every week or month, as the ense
may

be, until the whole amount is made
"I should think snch a plan a most gen-
crons one!"
“So it wonld be, if the face of the assign
ment was realized, nr even its face less a
fair rate of interest, but when you consider
that from 30 to 100 per cent is charged for
the accommodation yon can readily under
stand its evil."
“But snch a ruto of interest is usury!
‘‘The Shylock* look out for that. They
do not demand it as interest. They charge
what they caU legal fee* for drawing the
pallets of assignment. For instance, you.
borrow $50 and agree to repay it in install
ments of *5 per week. You receive $30. Hie
other $11 goes for fees and interest. Ten
dollars is the nsual charge for drawing such
an assignment.”
%Hut where does their business come
from?”
‘•From young men who have no knowl
edge of the value of money. From clerks
on small salaries, nnsble to wait for ps.v day.
Yonng men intutnated with nil speculation
and following the bosses are their first ens-
tomers. Cleverly worded advertisements
and skirmishers among the credulous bring
lunch Unit to their nets."
“Is there no wny by which the law can
reach these men?”
“Not one. And if there was they wonld
find sonic way to evade the law. Their
scheme* and methods are as numerous as
they are ingeuions. The love of money is a
vigorous jHi-sion with them, and the law re
ally, by its peculiar power of construction,
shields them and grants them immunity
from tile consequences of their irregular
proceedings. The ventilation of the matter
by the pn ss is the only means offered for
escaping their clutches."
“lint yon said these money brokers are
inoro numerous in this city."
“Every large corporation, especially whero
salaries arc paid only once a month, is in
fested with them, aim ninny a poor Baasnnio
do they manage to cotcli in their terrible
net. The sums of money they exact from
their victims in a year oftentimes exceeds
their salary hv fourfold. I know an instance
where an engineer on the New York Centra!
railroad once paid a money-lender of this
class rent per cent for a loan of $30 for less
than ten days. Even the police and fire
departments, the clerks in the municipality
nml the custom house fall an easy prey to
the machinations of these modem Shylock*.
Only lust week I was asked to undertake the
case of a yonng man who had sold liis war
rant for tiie month to three different par
ties. nml lately I sec there has been much
trouble of the same kind in sevend of the
departments of the city government."
“But the policemen and firemen are ob
liged to pay their debts by rule* governing
tlieir respective departments."
“And that is why these l.iml-sharks are
willing to land them $1 and take nn assess
ment for $3. Just tbs lima with the tele
graph operators and elevated railroad em
ployee. Tbeykeepongiiing to these usurers
for accommodation until at last, when they
have no more money with which ■ to aatisfy
their demands, they oliscond, default or
commit snicide. Even the poor soldier is
not exempt Entitled, as he is, to a miserly
sum as a pension, they lend him money on
his papers nntil pension day comes nronnd.
No p<nsioner can get bis check without
showing his papers. This fact is known to
the Shylock*. lie goes w ith his victim to get
his money, and ofentimes charges him
legal exchange forcashing hi*check, besides
taking what the poor fellow has already as-
sigmsl to him.
“Besides these men who lend money on
snlaries, there arc the installment fiends,
the pawnbrokers and others who advance
money on insurance policies, warehonso re
ceipts, bills Ilf lading, ate., all of whom are
instrumental in wr< eking many apromisiug

“What can yon say against the install
ment pbin?" , , . ,
“First, that it mdnres people to buy what
they do Dot w ant. Then, excessive prices
ere asked for their goods. This excess in
price elands for the bonus cxneted by the
money-lender. But, above all, the fore-

their sgency at 182 Broadway, Now York, to
look out fur him, and whan the Knicker
bocker arrived Superintendent J, E. Wil
kinson end detective Dave Larkins were on
the pier.
The dcserintion telegraphed from New
Orleans ws* that Ferdinand Lanmont was
22 years of age, five feet eight inches toll, of
medium bnild, with rather large black eyes,
a fnll dark beard and dark complexion. It
woa further said that one upper tooth in
the front of his month was missing, and
that his shoulders were slightly round. He
was a French Creole, spoke Imth French
and English, the latter with a slight accent,
and wore, when lust seen, n dark suit of
cle.the*.
At the steamer Wilkinson called his com
panion's Attention to a man who stood on
the upper deck leaning over the roil. The
man fulfilled the description to the letter,
except that he might nave been twenty-
eight instead of twenty-two. As (ho de
tective slipped aboard uml ranged along
side of him. He leaned over the rail and
hade good-bye to a fellow passenger with
the peculiar /vi/iiis nf the Creole, and when
Superintendent Wilkinson addressed him
he turned, anil, as he answered his greeting
in broken English, smiled. The middle
upper tooth was broken off close to the
resit
The detectives explained very quietly.
“The man started," said Mr’ Wilkinson,
in speaking of the matter yesterday, “grew
perfectly red, and stepped hack a" pace or
two. He acted, in fact precisely as u guilty
man nsnnlly does set on tho stage or in u
novel. We asked him not to make a scene,
and he agreed not to, explaining volubly nil
the time who he was, anil giving ns his’ref-
erenccs in New York. There was something
about his manner, despite tho remarkable
manner in which he tallied with the descrip
tion, that mode me think for a minute that
perhaps some mistake had been made
after all. At all events we bade
him good-by on the steamer and went to
look up his references. Of course, wc had s
shadow on him meanwhile, and had it fixed
so that we could put hands on him any
time. We wired for a fuller description td
New Orleans, lint it only made the thing
worse, fur they continued to describe the
man whom wc were shadowing here. Yes
terday we got dispatches from the Southern
office that the real forger had been eanglit.
In tracing their man to the river front they
were all right, hut instead of coming North
on a steamer he took the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, and came North that way
to Cincinnati.
CiH ASTI.V It K LICK OF tV A It.
Bones In tlie Meillral Museum that Tell Tor
tured Mortality's Sad Story.
' Washington Star.
There is one place in Washington that
very few sight-seers visit. It is a museum
with a very extensive and novel collection
composed entirely of fragments of dead peo
ple, and it occupies the old Ford’s Theatre,
on Teutli street, in which Lincoln met his
tragic death. The once gay theatre is now-
associated with skeletons mid doath. The
first floor, where the pit was, is occupied
by the clerical force of the medical de
partment of the army. The dress circle
contains a library and a few ait'cnlated
skeletons, while the peannt gallery, where
the street arnbs used to assemble st night to
nppland the acting and droji peanut hulls
and orange peelings on the bald heads in
tlie pit, is given np exclusively to the col
lection of fragments of dead men. There is
seldom anybody in the museum except the
attendant.' At the entrance to the library a
group of skeletons stand grinning a sepul
chral welcome. Near the door is n sign and
an index finger, which tolls the visitor that
the ninseum is upstairs.
Up stairs there are rows of glass cases all
tho way around the wall, and close together
from cast to west across the room there are
large glass jars like preserving jars. Some
have human hearts m them; some hold the
lungs and liver. Others hold the kidneys,
spleens, eyes, noses, ears and fingers of nien
who have been a long time dead. Among
the spleens is thnt of Guitean, which is a
third larger than that of any of the mat. One
case is devoted to arms and legs that have
licen amputated,uml show how nice and slick
tho snrgcon's knife and saw went through.
Some are lacerated and torn to pieces by
gunshot wounds. Most of the exhibits nre
tlie scraps of men picked up off the battle
field. One heart has two nig ounc Imllcts
imbedded in it Another has a deepo gash
in it, and near by is a dirk-knife. Another
esse is devoted to horrible looking hands
and feet pat up in glass jars. An eye torn
from its socket by n mnsket hall is soaked
in alcohol; odds and ends and all sorts of
fragment* of dead people are collected there
like the scraps for a crazy quilt
Bnt the chief part of the collection con
sists of small fragments of bones. There
is a section of the backbone of Booth in a
gloss case not many feet from the spot
where he shot Lincoln. There ore all sort* of
human lionea shattered by shot and shell.
Skulls with great big lead balls sticking in
them; big l>oties with fragments of iron
shells crushing them into powder; joints
broken apart by musket bolls; there are
skulls, ribs, legs and anus, shattered and
shivered by all sorts of missiles of war, and
in some eases tlie lead and bone have
become welded together. There nre over
it,000 specimens of bones fractured in curi
ous ways by shot. There are plaster cost*
of different cut* of the human body that
make the eases look like a butcher's stall.
There is the great French skeleton, a giant
in proportions, every bone as white os ivory,
teeth all perfect like (learls, toe* turned out
nml palms of the hands extended with aU
the grace of a dancing master,
“Look at those teeth,” said one of the at
tendants to the Star re|mrter. “He is proud
of those teeth. None but s French skele
ton coaid have teeth like that. Y'ou can al
ways tell a Frenchman by that"
SCIENTIFIC GAMBLING.
Men Whom tlie Professionals Fear—Profits
of ltegular Players.
Ht Loots BepobUc-o.
“Nothing,” said the gambler, “annoys s
proprietor more than tragedy. He wiU take
any measure to keep suen emotional, high-
strung temperaments from his rooms. If
all the sentimental and sensational story
book frequenters of these places were elimi
nated the hank wonld scarcely notice their
absence. They are the lione and sinew of
the gambling harvest. It is the great ma
jority of svemge commonplace men that
yield* the profits."
“Undoubtedly," assented the reporter,
refleciing that the avenge commonplace
nmn help* along most of the stupendous
movements of the world's machinery. Then,
not eager to discuss the moral ethics of gam
bling. a more practical question was pat;
“Can yon tell me the real percentage of
the risk the bank poMcsoes against the
player?”
“Well," was the reply, “the apparent per
centage is small and varies in the several
games—roulette, faro and others carrying
dirt, r. nt rates—but the real percentage is
■ uormntuly in the bank's favor. It lies in
diis same principle of human nature that 1
have just commented upon. The avenge
i .layer, if he wine sevend consecutive bets,
becomes cautious, anticipates a change in
luck and venture* his money accordingly.
The result is, if bis good fortune continue*

tlie other hand, let him lose continuously

pursuing
ment that it is • Tone lane which has no
turning, ho in creeses his stakes. This pot.
icy, with continued misfortune, ends in large
losses. Thns, when the bnnk is loser it is
for small sums, but when winning the gains
are large.
“What the hank is afraid of are the cop,
amative, persistent players, but there are
not many of them. There is A class of men
st the European gambling places,and a very
small class, who have reduced the thing to a
fine point. These men risk every evening a
single bet, always the same amount. If tlie
het wins they continue to play, but only so
long as their profits will permit. If, how
ever, the first venture fails thoy quit the
game nntil the following evening. In this
way their loss is limited to the original bet,
while if fortune favors them they may win
n large amount. This |Hilicy is pursued
daily and a single night's winnings fur
nishes capital enough for a long period of
bud luck. These men do not enjoy gam
bling, hut it support* them, and I have no
doubt that they ncrmunlate valuable sta
tistics in the ratio and proportion of games
of chance. They are detested by the offi
rials of the place, hut their right to piny ni
they please cannot be questioned.
“But if this be u fact, said tho reporter,
“why is not the practice more linivental!"
“Because," was tlie emphatic response,
not one man in a thousand possesses tho
requisite eluiracteristies to control himself
nndcr the spur of such excitement as the
gaming table can offer.”
“Do professional gamblers, ns a rule, al
ways have money!"
"The average professional gambler,” was
the reply, “is dead broke nine months out
of the twelve."
INVENTOR KEELY.
Ills Life Alleged to lie n Romantic Story of
Imposture.
A Philadelphia capitalist who is here, says
the New Y’ork World, says that if the true
life of Kecly, the motor man, could be writ
ten it woulil prove to he one of tho most ro-
innntic stories of imjiostaris ever known.
He says that several years ago, when Keely's
great claims began to be talked about in Phil
adelphia, lie made an investi
gation for his own satisfaction into
Keely' past. He thought thnt he could
jndgii better by his record ns a man than by
trying to talk with Keely about his mysteri
ous motor. He fonnil thnt just before com
ing to Philadelphia he was a performer in u
circus and thnt he lia.1 nearly all of his life
made a precarious living by performing
sleight-of-hand tiiiks. He is a man of 0"
education, and is absolutely destitute of
any scientific acquirement. 11c says that
Kecly has gone to work, however, very
skillfully, and has learned the jargon of nn
extensive scientific vocabulary. He has
about 800 of these words and phrases at his
tongue's end, and, he can turn the head of
the average scientist liy the rapidity and
certainty with which he tosses these words
and phrases into his general conversation.
Keely has one gift, he says, which is great
enough to be called genius, and thnt is his
skill in humbugging people. He has great
S ower by mere talk of setting aside all
onbt ns to his ability and to influence peo-
{ ilo to let him have uioueyin the most reck-
essly confident way. Nearly all of his
present backers are New York men.
Every now and then these barkers become
despondent and get together and go over to
Philadelphia. Then Mr. Keely get* a sleight-
of-hand performance for them, talks to them
in hi* peculiarly gifted way, and the trust
ing capitalists go back buoyed np with hope,
fully confident that thoy are backing one of
the great inventors of the age. Keely has
never invented anything, this gentleman
says, except stories, sml will nover give any
other dividend n|ion the capital invested in
him beyond that of romances sml diversions
in the shape of occasional sleight-of-hand
performances.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
Tn give some idea how quickly milk will
absorb odors one has only to place a saucer
of milk in a larder in which meat or game
is hung. In a few hours the milk becomes'
so tainted that no animal will tonch it.
If the French can derive $150 annually
from one cow, making cheese a specialty,
why should not the same be done in this
country? Our facilities are equal to those
of the French, while onr markets are quite
as good.
It is a well demonstrated fact that land
half worked can never more than half pay.
It is the difference lietween imjierfcct anil
thorough culture where lie* all the mystery
why some farmers make so little and some
so much.
It has been demonstrated that milk can
be produced at a less cost from ensilage fed
with grain than any other food, and in qual
ity it is equnl to milk pnslnced by any other
mode of feeding, llut ensilage alone is not
so profitable.
Observe your horse when he is drinking

qualities and aU part* of nia body are built
symmetrically.
Bees require very little care in proportion
to the profit derived from them. With an
assistant an apiarist could rare for 200 colo
nies, and ss much ss fifty pounds of honey
has been secured from a colony during fa
vorable seasons.
Liquid cheese is a new article of manufac
ture. A stock company, liackcd by German
capital, is seeking incorporation in New
Y’ork to place the article upon the market.
It looks like maple syrup, but is said to
have all the good qualities of solid cheese.
Pears should not ripen on the trees.
Plucked when fully grown and kept in a

A great aaving is effected by making wng-
ons used on the farm with tires thereto four
inches wide. The wheels will uot sink into
the ground and the draught is consequently
much lighter. English farm wagons are
generally built in thia wny. On onlinary

A bridle to prevent a cow from sacking
herself is made ss follows: A bead-stall is
fitted with a lmckle and strap or s ring on
each side; a stout surcingle is fitted in the
same way. A tongh rod of hickory or white
oak is fastened on each side of the cow from
the belt to the bridle; this makes it impos
sible for the cow to reach the teats, while
it doe* not interfere with her feeding.
Clay is perhaps the most dilhcnlt of all
