BEGGAR FRAUDS.
The Confession* of • Fagan In
44 A year ago I kept a boardinghouse
on Carver street, which was the gen
eral headquarters for the crowd.
00 time were there less than a dozen
men and women who earned tbeli liv
ing solely ‘working the streets.* The
average number of boarders was about
twenty. They were mostly natives of
Belgium, who spoke French freely and
were frequently taken for French peo
ple. Some were Italians and a few
Germans. Perhaps bslf a
Frenchmen might be found amoog
them, bat some way they did not seem
to like the business, or else they were
too proud to follow it np.
“I was master of tbe house and got
so much money every week for board
and lodging, besides the professions!
advantages. If they didn’t pay op
prompt they bad to get out. It was
a principle of this house not to do a
losing business. Yes, 1*11 show you
over tbe boose.
“That bed over in the cornet used
to be occupied by an old fellow who
worked Temple Place on the Mind
musician racket. He looked like
wreck any way, and if it hadn’t bo

work in New York, PbUadelph
Boston, be carried awgy $4,000 back
to Belgium. He has a son who cx-
pt C J to start next summer with as
much more.
“In the next room lodged a fellow
by the name of La Fitte, who was over
six feet high and strong enough to
knock out an ox. He played
broken-arm racket one who
and used to average from $6 to $10 a
day.
“Then there was another man who
had a bear. He didn’t do as well hi
Boston as he did in New York, and
before tu left town be was disgusted
with Boston. -He was au Englishman
and drank ale enough to drown his
beast. 1 asked him ooce why it
that be left so sadden. He said that
Bostou was played out and that it
wouldn’t give any chance to a gentle
man trying to earn an honest penny.”
With these words the man ouce more
started down stairs.
“How much did your boarders
make!” Inquired the reporter.
“It all depended upon their profess
ional ability,” was the reply. Some
used to make as high as $10 a day on
die average. Why, there was oue
feller with both legs cut off who used
to room here, who got $5 a week from
a woman on Beacon street one whole
season. He was walkitig up Charles
street one day, and near the Beacon
street crossing tried his okl trick of
etting nearly run overby a horse car.
wo old ladies saw him as he waddled
along, using his sticks to help the
leather stumps which he used for feet.
The driver didn't see him until he
-eerned almost under the horses’ feet.
'Then he put on the brakes. Those
ladies were scared; it seemed like such
a narrow escape. They ueedn’t have
been, because he was a stumper in
long practice and knew just what risk
he conld afford to ran. At just the
right minute he got out of the way.
Pretty soon the old ladies overtook
him, and pitied hU bad luck in being
the
cut off that way. He told a good story
about a sickly wife and hungry chil
dren.
‘Those old ladies told him to call
next day, and he came down to Die
house ami bet the boys a bottle of wine
that he would stick tne old lady for a

they helped Jacques spend the whole

made seven of the dirtiest beggars in
Boston royally drunk.”
Otoe Work*
From tbe Savannah News
A paragraph in the Homing News
a few days ago concerning a young
lady in Columbus who, having lost
her fattier, is successfully conducting
the business he left, attracted the at
tention of a gentleman residing iu Ma
con. lie writes an interesting letter
about some successful business women
he knows, and cads special attention
to one whom he says is known in all
parts of tbe State.
It seems that in a Middle Georgia
county a number of years ago a strug
gling manufacturer died, leaving a
widow and several children. The
lady had not been trained to business,
id was totally unacquainted with
the peculiar occupation of her husband.
Sbe determined, however, to assume
the management of the manufactory
and to operate it without seeking aid
other than that of her legal adviser.
She at once made herself familiar with
the pecuniary details of her business,
aud then took steps to improve tbe
plant of tne manufactory. 81m chose
ner superintendents and employes
with consummate skill, aud soon the
machinery was bumming as cheerful
ly as when her husband was alive.
She watched every point, spending
money or economizing where neces
sary. Site advertised the products of
her manufactory in every Southern
State, and the result was soon appar
ent. Orders were reoeived as rapidly
a* they could be filled. \ Her plan was
t » send o*it none but first-class work,
so that when slm gained a customer
site retained him. Sbe is now ttie
possessor of quite a handsome fortune,
to which her business penults her to
make increasingly large additions.
The Homing News' correspondent
says of this lady’s domestic life: “Her
home is one of the most delightful 1
furnished, but I cannot ii
wvagautiy
imagine a
place more thoroughly comfortable.
There are several children. The oldest,
a daughter, has been educated in the
best schools, and is a sweet aud sensible
girl. The younger children are a'l in
school. Tim sons are bright, and
manifest decided Interest in their
motlicr’8 business. It Is her Intention
that they shall take charge of tbe
manufactory as soon as they are pre
pared to do so. I never knew a bet
ter tempered woman* I asked her if
worrying over business did not some
times irritate her to the point of auger.
She replied: “I do not worry over
my business. It is a source of pleas
ure to me. I believe that there would
be more bappluesa among women if
more of them were as busy as 1 am.* **
Tbe story points more than one
moral. It shows that where there is a
will there to a way, and that women
are much more capable of managing
business affairs than they are general
ly thought to be. Every year they
are entering avenues for earning a
living which were before practically
closed to them. Every advance they
nuke opens the way for a farther ad
vance. They don’t get tbe- same pay
that meu do for the same work, but tlie
time I* uot distant when they will.

A FASCINATING TRADE.
“There to one particular trade from
whose ranks a greater per cent, of men
get Into trouble than from any other,**
said a small, ronnd-sbouldered, lceen-
eyed man to a News reporter recently,
and some of its most skilled followers
are now behind prison bars.**
This startling statement was
by the natural inquiry,
trade?”
“Engraving,” was the answer.
“When an engraver becomes expert
there is always before him a tempta
tion to try hb skill on a bank note de
sign or some other paper dangerous to
imitate. He picks np a bill and It b
no mystery to him. He can trace the

a blow across the face with the butt of

out a murmur, although tbe

packed up and left the city. It gives
tbe affair a ludicrous phase since it
skill steps in to urge
him to just see how perfect an Imita
tion ot tbe genuine bill he can work
“Why, I myself, though I bare al
ways managed to keep fairly honest,
have sometimes tried my hand at this
imitating work, aud ooce I succeeded
in producing one of the handsomest
ten-dollar bills I ever saw, and it was
exactly like one I bad received long
before and kept for a model. Well,
after I got my engraving dooe and bad
produced a copy which seemed per
fect, the temptation to strike off a
large number of them was almost irre
sistible. I sat and struggled with that
terrible inclination for hours, which
seemed days, ana then by a mighty
effort 1 seized a graving tool which w<
call a burin and plowed a heavy lim
right across the free of the die. After
that a reaction came ou and my nerves
gave away as tlie result of tbe terrible
strain and I was unable to put my
hand to work for several weeks.
“Tlie one copy of the Mil, which I
struck off, 1 have kept as a memento
and a warning, and since that critical
dav J have stubbornly resisted any In
clination to try any skill, however lu-
nocently, in imitating United States
money.”
“Your trade, about which so little b
generally known, must have an inter
esting history*” suggested the reporter,
seeing tbe little man had finished hb
personal history.
“Yes,” he answered, “as usual, the
Chinese began the art. 'JTieir compli
cated and elaborate characters*, by
which they preserved their records,
were first made with a paintbrush
and tlie process may be supposed to
have been a slow and particular one, if
we may judge from what we see on tea
packages, fans, etc. Finally, some
lazy clerk, I suppose, found that be
could cut the characters on pieces of
wood and then reproduce them as
often as desirable by just smearing hb
paintbrush quickly aud easily over
them each time. That was tbe begin
ning of engraving and about all tlie
■Chinese ever dkl to forward the inven
tion.
“When the discovery came into the
hands of the Caucasians it began to be
improved, aud slowly grew to be au
art. A famous German, named Purer
was the greatest engraver of those
days, ami he was especially strong on
outlines. He would make a col
umn of smoke hi clean cut against the
background as a chimney, and it
would appear just about as buoyant
and airy as if carved from a piece of
wood. Floating clouds ill lib land
scapes bear a striking resemblance to
to puddings—semingiy perfectly solid.
There was no skill in shading, eittier.
In tlioMj old master-pieces. A shadow
api>earad as a deni, black blot. Tbe
same plau U used now in astrouomical
maps and pictures, which was used
then for all kinds of work. You have
noticed that in tills kind of maps tlie
background is deep black, represent
ing night, and little white dots stand
for stare. This kind of work Is fun
for the engraver. He takes a block
of wood and bores little holes In It
where lie wauls tbe stars to appear,
and when tbe luk U spread oil and tbe
impression made tbe boles of course
make no mark and white dots appear
In the places.
“Engraving on steel was discovered
by accident and not until long after
wood engraving bad readied a reason
able degree of perfection. Some gold
smiths In the south of France, who
were famous for their beautifully en
graved Jewelry discovered a plan to
aid them in their delicate work.
While working out their designs in tin*
gold it was difficult to judge how they
would appear, as the fine yellow line*
on the yellow surface were not dis
tinctly visible. S me one fofiud that
bv putting ink 011 the uietal and wip
ing it off ttie surface, so as to leave it
only in ttie lines, and then pressing
moistened paper on them, a clear im
pression of ttie design was transferred
to the paper anil could be easily
studied out. Tlie iurention was. used
by smiths many years before anv
other use was found for it, and from It
eventually sprang ttie art ol steel and
copper engraving which has now
reached such perfection.”
44 Are there many genuine stem en
gravings produced now-a-days?”
“No; they are very few. blnce
electricity began to play so prominent
a pan in all industrial arts, a method
has been discovered by which a cop
per surface may be quickly plated
with a coating of steel. Tlie usual so-
called steel-engraving of the present

ai.d then plated with a coat of steel by
the electrical process. Th* surface
being very hard, makes tlie lines as
iierma'ieiit as if cut from solid steel.
The process Is much more rapid than
engraving on steel at first, and is al
most as good for fine work.”
“How is It that dally illustrated pa
pers can produce large illustrations of
events happening but a few hours be

process?”
“They could not were it not for

her parents had more ambitious views

yoniigman went to work to win a

All the Mr>*. Lion-Hunters seem to

tlie burly charms of ttie American cir-

Bereford’s£tfaach to a seat at ttie supper
table of any fad-mongerlng hostess
who is fortunate enough to work a
iiitual advertisement by securing the
Buffalo person « presence at dance or

himself we have not a word to say.
As a showman lie is a distinct success,
aud tlie very fret, which we deplore,
of his getting himself asked to London
drawing rooms, proved that be is not
ouly a circus manager, but an “ad

\ me r icon Ism—of more titan common

strange that ladies should go out of
their w*ay to ask to their houses a man
who professes not only to have indulg-
e I freely in the uncleanly outrage ot
skinning the beads of bis fallen foes,
but to have treasured ttie relics of such
nasty surgery.

Senator Wade Hampton, the first

that as soon as tbe books sink into tbe

Senator Hampton pays a high

“Here Mr. Hampton made a remark
which the reporter, not being a disciple
of lzaak Walton, could not under

that the old fashioned barbecue was

just returned from the scene of the

Tbe trip was ooe of extraordinary
hardship, accomplished in tbe free of
obstacles of which the entire
of any road, an arid desert of over
ooe hundred miles acraas and the blaz
ing sun of a tropical
splcuous feature. The volcano lies
twelve miles, as tbe crow files, from
Bavispe, in the State of Sonora, in the
extreme Northwest corner of tbe Mex
ican republic. A rough estimate will
place the distance from El Paso at 400
miles. Tbe rugged and
of the country, the Infrequency of its
spring* and the almost deadly beat
that exists there niue months oat of
the twelve have effectually kept out
the American prospector, although the
mountains are full of gold, and even
ttie luudy Mexican has largely left it
to It* primal solitude. Here and there
arc scattered villages ot which Bavispe
is a type. The town lies southwest of
Casa* Grande*. It contains
2,000 soul*, if yon count a soul to each
inhabitant. They are so miserably
poor and live In a condition of such
iuili'cribahle squalor and perpetual
misery that their lot compares unfav
orably with the wandering cayote,
ttieir nearest neighbor. We went by
way of the Carralito* Hacienda, on
the Bntt.ni Davis ranch, lying about
due east of Bavispe in ttie State of
Chihuahua. To couceive the fatigue
aud ardor of ttie trip, one must mild a
blazing sun tliat seared and shrivelled

nant of smoke, trailed by tbe wind
from a low, square topped peak,to the
southwest, defined it* location, while a
dull and muttering roar, almost Inces

were at work. Tbe volcano lies about
twelve miles from tlie site of the town,
but over such au extraordinarily broken
tract ot country that wv realized at
ooce that it would require two days*
journey to reach it, and pushed
straight ahead without delay. Tlie
phenomena which we had observed at
BavUpe increased in volume as we
approached ttie mountain. We fol
lowed tlie dry bed cf a stream, which,
at some forgotten period, had woru a
causeway through the granite. It was
broken by fissures of evident recent
origin, running from north to south,
and in some cases four or five feet
broad and ot unknown depth. Spring

oat, we encountered a geyser, rivaling
any of those In tlie National Park. It

sides of ?ton*l aud mud, and about forty

teen minutes an immense stream of
boiling water leaps oat and up to a

For the Fourth of July celebration
Portland Ore., undertook and success
fully carried on tan unprecedented feat
in the way of fire-works. It was no
less than tbe Illumination of ttie sum
mit of Mount Hood, the tallest snow-
covered peak in Oregon. 12,720 feet
high. Tills was done at exactly 11:30
o’clock at night, and tbe light was
plainly seen In the city, a distance of
fifty-one miles In a straight line. The
illuminating agent was 100 pounds of
ordinary red Are. and the task was ac
complished by a party of five, who
made tbe ascent with great difficulty
in three days.
“It to more than passing stran

“how little the immediate prospect of
death seems to affect some people. The
disposition of their immortal souls
seems but secondary as compared with
their appearance In the coffin, and
their funeral arrangements. Tlie oilier
day I was called to tbe bedside or a
oung lady who was very ill. While
wa> there tlie physician gravely
shook his I lead and ask] tlie |«atient
would die tliat night. Site looked a
little put out, and when tlie doctor
went out 1-asked him if I might pray,
‘ was requested to wait a few mo
ts. 1 retired to another room, and
to mv surprise 1 heard the yonug
woman ask her mother for some paper,
with which she proceeded to put up
her hair, remarking at the Mine time:
“Mamma, do not take ttie papers out
of my hair until 1 am in the coffin, for
1 might aa well look as nice as I can,
since there will be so many come to

The fate of A. T. Stewart’s remains
so alartnrd tlie friends of ttie late- Wil

still kept posted about ills flve-lion-

and day a body of well-drilled, well-
armed men move about (n its vicinity
oil the lookout for plilaget* or gliouls.
In addition to these, a system of sig
nals or burglar alarms !> added which
penetrate many parts ofthe grounds.
At stated Intervals these are set off by
a man on bto six b urs* turn of duty,
and the reserve rapidly assembles at a
given point. At night the watch is
even more vigilant. At sunset a pow
erful flame to lighted in the cupola,
which sliinea out over the humble
graveyard below and off upon tlie
waters. Into tills dome one of the de
tectives must go every half hour and
touch another alarm, which records the
fidelity of those ou watch. Every
twelve hour* the chief enters the
building to see from tlie register
whether each man on duty during ttie
night lias gone his rounds at the pre
scribed moment. The cost of guard
ing the remains amounts to a small
fortune each year, and it can not but
occasion some melancholy reflections
In the man who knows that just a little
