The First Cotton Shipment.
A dispatch from Savannah tel is th£-i
story of the shipment of the bale? o?
cotton from tills country to Liverpool,
as follows:
Few persons know when the first
foreign shipment of cotton was made
from the Unitod StAtcs, or rather what
is now the United States. In 170i Wil
liam Bathboue, an American mer
chant in Liverpool, received from
Habersham, of Savar.uah, a consign
ment of eigiit bags of cotton.
Op its arrival at Liverpool it was
seized by the custom house officials on
the ground that so much cotton could
not have grown in the American colo
nies, and it was then liable to seizure
under the shipdipg per, as : t had not
been imported in a vessel belonging to
a country of the cotton’s growth. J
This was the first attempt at export
ing cotton from America. It was sent
to Liverpool through an agent in Xew
york named Dillon. The original
manifest was preserved exactly a cen
tury. It was sent to an Interior point
during the war for'safe keeping ?nd
was there burned by Sherman’s men.
Since that day Savannah, slowly at
first and then rapidly, has forged]
Washington, Match 29.—For sev
eral years past attempts have been
made to victimize people of promi
nence iu the Uulied States by playing
upon ibeir credulity at the expense of
rheir purses. Just who tbe would-be
swindlers are and to what extent they
hare succeeded, is not known, bat suf
ficient data Las drifted Into the Depart
ment of State to indicate that these
operations have been conducted on a
broad scale and that the leader in them
is intelligent and well acquainted with
the affurs of the persons selected ms
victims. The indications point to co
operative actions.
The fraudulent schemes are of the
lame general plan, but the details are
varied infinitely, to meet the ch&racte
of the victim. An a rule he is a per
son who has at some time had a slight
acquaintance with a Spaniard. He re
ceives a letter from a Spanish priest
telling him that a large sum of money
has been devised to him by this Span
iard on conditions that always involve
the advancement of a greater or lebs
sum of money to pay the charges.
THE PRESIDENT GOT A LETTER.
The first notice the Department of
State had of the swindle was a letter
addressed to President Harrison soon
after he assumed hfa office. In this
letter the writer, a Catholic prist, as he
de3cr.i r -ed hirandf, informed the Presi
dent that a Spanish army officer had
undergone increditable vicissitudes of
fortune and had died in Spain. He
had delivered to the priest a satchel
containing $200,000, which was to be
turned over to the President on tbe
sole condition that he would assume
charge of the cfficers little daughter.
Incidentally, $5,000, was needed
to pay ihe necessary expenses. The
in tttcr wa3 confidential, and the Pres
ident was to direct bis reply in Spanish
to the priest, and enclose it in a letter
addressed to a Spanish lady. The
priest also enclosed a letter from the
bishop, testifying to tbe good character
ol the priest, but, perhaps from inad
vertence, or more probable to avoid
conviction if detected, the testimonial
was made out for a person of a differ
ent name from that signed by the al
leged priest. •
GEN. 11ARTLETT DAS A CHARGE.
The r.cxt person selected as a victim
was Gen. Bartlett ol the pension office
in Washington. In this case a great
quantity ol* valuable plate was at stake,
incumbered with the innocent, angelic
chil i of a Spaniard, whom the general
really recalled os an acquaintance of
hfa early years.
Iiis suspicions were aroused by the
unn*uai precautions that were to be
observed, and.he escaped without loss.
Then a prominent druggist of Pater
son. N. J., w as picked out by the gang,
but he regarded the priest’s letter as a
practical joke and paid no serious at
tention to it.
A CONGRESSMAN. TOO.

Him?eof Representatives last summer

packages, which were warranted to
| contain a fortune and a beautiful heir
ess. The letter was addressed to
this member from the “Parish Church
Of San Jaime Atreida,” bearing the
s-hi of the church aud the seal of the
archhfahopric of Toledo. The letter,
ike the others, purported to be from
the priest. This letter is chiefly re
markable for the craft’y manner in
which the priest seeks to prevent the
exposure of the swindle by making it
appear to be in the recipient’s interest
io main tain silence. The priest’*
stoty is romantic, as is invariably the
case. Trie illustrious prison had died
in a castle.
The charge upon which he was con-
fi-.cd—eiub* zzmient from the State—
was cunningly stated with apparent
innocence, although its suggestion In
directly accounted for the gr.at fortune
of 9 000.000 pezetss (about $1,800,000)
which the prfaouer h*d secreted. Be
had selected the American Congress

seal of the confessional, that the treas

$5,000 to obtain the begg&ge which was
detained by the court and contained

Dickson Is one of the cleverest swind
lers who ever worked the business
public. His scheme of late years vrss
simple but« ffective. According to the
testimony, be would send for a small
bill of goods, and refer to a ficti Ions
firm at Meisnon, wb**re he served as
postmaster. TThea the letters of in
quiry cam*, Ihs would auswer them,
giving himself a- flsv-closs business
rating. The first bill h=» would pay as
a bait. Then he wcnld order a larg-
lot of goods, tor which the pay never
come. Other goods would be ordered
and secured for licitiou* firms in the
same way.
HU position as pcstmaeter aiJed him
in hfs schemes. He was indicted eleven
times by tbe grand jury of Pierce
county, but through some reason lifa
cases never came to trial- He was re
moved from tr*e postmaster ship, and
an order was issued removing th»s post-
office to Coffee, ami Mbs Kelly was
appointed postmistress. This was ia>t
May. Dickson did not surrender the
effect* of the office until September,
the government tffieiafa, in the mean
time, thinking that Miss Kelly was Id
charge at Coffee. Io J une the c 15cs at
Mersbcn was revival and Dickion’s
son, a boy of sixteen years, was ap
pointed postmaster. Then Dickson
ran both postoffices in the same build
ing, and utilized both of them as a
means of swindling merchants in his
old style. Unsatisfied judgments for
about $5 COO are in existence in Pierce
against the fiictitions firms that Dick
son originated. Hfa operations ex
tended all over the country, securing
carriages and other goods Irorn as iar

Cbatcosl for Swine.
The Rural aud Stockman has never
found a better preventive or remedy
for diseases of swine than thh charcoal
powder* which it has so often men
tioned. If there are others-ns good wc
have not seen them. T..fa journal»has
given thes powders a great deal of free
advertising because we have believed
them to be good. We have no interest
in them at all. But the swine breeder
and feeder will find that pure charcoal
is an excellent thing for swine. It is
absorptive of the gases, and aid to di-
gestiou, corrective of many conditions
that favoi -disease, and we live some
thing of a blood purifier. Tbe only
trouble about it is that when it Is fe-J
to auimals to any extent it is not to
produce costiveness. This can be rem
edied, however, by giving May-cpple
root. Some advocate giving rotten
wood and cinders. They are iiettcr
than nothing, but charcoal is by aH
odds the best. If a little more atten
tion was given to supplying such
things and our swine should be more
largely led upon the bone and muscle
forming foods we should have less
swine diseases.
Newspaper Advertising.
Commercial Union.
The first newspaper advertisement
came out in the London Times iu 1643.
The world dees not contain half a doz
en newspapers to-day without them.
In the early days, when people could
not read, the most curious and gro
tesque means to advertfae were resort
ed to. Who has not heard of the old
English publics, or inns, known only
by the swinging sign above I.s doer?
The Boar,” “Tbe Sneepshead,” et
were common names In these days*
1 here is a place in London named
Cheapside, so qalleil so brand the o;h‘.r
side as tlic dear one.
The Chlocse are said to be most in
genious In their ad vertisements. They
make n=e of their deformities, even.
The Celestial Cook shop ol the pox-
tnarked Wang,” “The Celebrated E:.-l-
pic 6hop of heavenly beauty,” are sam
ples of oriental enterprise.
A tnerlcans have carried the r.rt o!
advertising to the greatest perfection
yet attained. Tlie devices used in this
country to draw the attention and cap
ture the mind, or the eye, are innuro
erable. -
Public curiosity offer? to the shrewd
advertiser a wide and more prohfic
field than any other perhaps. Who is
there so discerning that he has not
read some attractive, racy articles in a
newspaper to fiod at Ihe end that the
sole object of U was to call attention to
some doctor*?* remedy ? Others more
cautious will glance at the end of
nipling story before reading lo find
whether it fa not an advertisement, lit-,
or she look* away '►it'* o>;:te«npt, but
uu Inward feeling *►? triumph, at hav
ing outwitted the skillful decoy, all un
conscious that the advertisement here
too has accomplished its purpose, the
name of tire advertiser ha« been read.
lud vlibial eccentricities formerly
figured prominently among advertising
schemes. Geprge Holland’s allege.:
failing OTOr*foarU to help tire sale of bis
benefit rfeaers was of that kind. Some
times puttie sympathy may be invoked
to popularize a player, but the effect is
always temporary.
Though many, and ingenious, and
generally successful have been the
methods that have been tried, the
newspaper advert! ement is conceded
•o be the beot, and is fast superseding
ad others.
Fr. m t’-e New Tori Worll.
Kvery body has read iu the newspa
pers from lime to time of the many al
leged frauds' attempted upon the life
Insurance corop&ci-s, but lew probably
are awa:e of the claim which ia'inade
by tbe accident coal panics that the
fraudulent claims against them, In
proportion to tbe number of person^
insured, out-number those against the
life companies ten to one.
Recently there was held a meeting
of the representatives of some of the
Jeadrog companies doiog ah accident
business for the purpose ci* devising
means of relief in the matter.. '
Some icsurar.ee tueo advocated tbe
strict onfurccmentof the law punish
ing self-mutilation, while others say
that legislation should be enacted
against tbe companies who, !u their
eageruci* to gee business, invite fraud
by the large indemnities offered and
the liberal time limit given. In 1889
tho accident companies issued policies
giving $2,500 for the loss of a leg, arm,
frot.or baud. This has been worked,
it is claimed, so extensively by persons
who did not mind maim lag themselves
iu order to secure the insurance mout-y
tiiat it uas bicoio*) one of tiie greatest
evils in the business.
“We found,’.* said A. N. Lockwood,
president of the Accident Insurance
f'rovidrat Fund Society, at No. 230
Broadway, io a World reporteryester-
Jay, “rliat in every sin-le claim re
ceived by us tile iudemuiry asked tor
was for ihe maiming or loss of ibejeft
hand. This naturally excited our sus
picion. The claimants were all fooud
to be persons ptcuniarily embarrassed,
such as men out of work, men who,
rather then work, preferred losing
their left hand for $2,500, au J men .who
bad seen better days and who had
large families to provide for. Last
Jun? we reduced the Indemnity for
hand to $1,200, sinee which time we
have not had one claim for the loss of
a hand.
“This, however, did not end onr
troubles, for immediately the claims
for‘toot indemnities,’ which had re-
maided at ?2,500, grew more nnmer-
nt’,5. Other companies have had tbe
saute experience. A president of one
of the accident companies told me yes
terday that he was satisfied that not
one claim had been geuuine in all tbe
claims presented agiunt tne company
iii a year. As a rule the other compa
nies pay $2,500 for tlie loss of either a
hand or toot, and the number of peo
ple who are willing to lose a hand or a
Amt for that much money is astound
ing, aud there are more fraudulent in
surance cripples in the United States
to-day than war cripples. Why, ynn
have no idea of-the business of self-
mutilation that is being carried on for
the purpose of beating insurance com
panies
‘•There is n case now before the
courts which is exciting the interest of
every accident company doing busi-
fntsaio this city. It i» the oase of a
professional man v. bo, it is believed
riece Into bis pocket. Then
that a little man who bail been an
interested spectator tapped him on the
arm and asked:
“Does that belong to yonT”
“No,” returned the yonth. “Docs
it b-iong to you?”
“Xo. Bnt I Infer yon are going to
keep It.”
“Yes, nnless the owner claims It.”
“Do you think that’s honest?”
The youth knitted his brows.
“'Veil, i don’t know,” he seid.
“Yon see, itsjnst this way: If I knew
who it belonged to I’d return It, bnt
IM rather keep It myself than have
some Other fellow get It who bad no
claim to it. I didn’t see who dropped
A nd you didn’t ask those who were
pass'i'.g at the time?”
“No; because It’s ten toono the first
man t t-ckied would have claimed it,
and then I’d have gond to- my grave
with a fear that I had delivered prop
erty belonging to oae man to another
without tho consent of the first party.
That’s against all bnslnes3 principles,
and my conscience would tronbie me.
it wr .lld oe a breach of trust.”
“But you Intended ro appropriate it
to yonr own nse?”
“No. I didn'e. Honest. I looked
to see whose it was, and 1 couldn’t be
sure. Now I’ll hold it in trust for ’the
owner. I’ll give it up to the owner
any time be shows up. Any man wbo
can giro me the date of the coin can
have it.”
And tiins he squared himself with
his conscience.
In the Days or War.
The Boston Herald in a long and
able article on Gen. Joseph E. Johnson
thus refers to tbe military situation in
the early period of the late war:
It Is quite Impossible for the new
generation to appreciate the Southern
military situation In 1881-2. That
pseudo-government is with ns now
only as the tradition of a catastrophe.
The current delineations picture the
Southern armies and people In des

early days of tlie conflict, and that in

time the earlier commanders or Union
troops were actually terrorized by the

the ideal officer, In 1801, was the
Southern General, and he was esteem

his prestige and maneavres, paralyzed

Some Funny Errors*
The mistakes fat newspaper offices
arising from the faulty cbirograpby
of occasional and regular contributors
have led to the publication of a few
specimens.
The Oswego Palladium refers to one
instance, that of a Syracuse clergyman
who gave the manuscript of a sermon
of his to a reporter of the Standard, for
the purpose of making an abstract or
the discourse for publication. The
manueerlpt said of John Wesley that
“though only a presbyter, he himself
ordained Thomas Cook to the office of
the episcopacy.” The preacher’s pen
manship was so bud, the reporter made
out this stateraeut to mean and read,
though only a Presbyterian he lihn-
oelf ordained hia cook to the office ol
the episcopacy.?*
t t t
The Bookly Ragle follows this up by
relating bow some manuscript of Dr.
Tahnage came to its office at one time
in which occurred the words; “My
text finds on*- J,ofd,” When the words
appeared in print they were neatly
transformed to read: “My tall friend,
our Lord,”

On a Rochester drily, a few years

little boy who died from the effects of
an explosion of firecrackers, which he
carried In his pockets, in these words:

announcement as it appeared in print
was an offer of sympathy to “Hfa ttl-

Paris, April 1.—A woman wbo has
actually gone through the marriage
service with forty-three men an!
swindled all but or.e of them within

Six years ago Eveline Leal, a l.and-

have had the important duty of choos-
log the victims from Among the a null-

occasion. For some suitors for bei

She al.vays began bv making some ob

Sometimes assuming the character of

considered that she was too joung for
marriage, and that the applicant most
wait awhile. On other occasions the
fortune or social position of the suitor
was not what she desired, but iu tlie
end she always allowed herself to be
captivated with these personal quali
ties of the would-be husbands. She
often managed things so cleverly tiiat
she received rich presents from her
suitors, and after getting as much <S
she could, suddenly disappeared. In
several cases she considered it • better
policy to secure possession of tlie wed
ding gifts by agreeing to a marriage
ceremony. For this she invariably
crossed the channel, expressing a pref-
erence lor tbe wedding to take place in
England. After the clergyman had
in all good faith pronounced the nup
tial benediction, she returned with her
victim to the hotel, but always man

a colored man came along, dragging
after him about the meanest-looklng
dog yon ever saw.
“Whar are you going to do with
him ?” asked one of the group.
“Kill him. sah!”
“But why?”
“No good, sah.”
“Then sell him.”
“Can’t do It.”
“Then give him away.”
“Nobody would dun take him.”
“I’ll take him. Bring him right up

“Yon is foolin’, sab.”
“No, I ain’t. Here, give him to me,
and bere’s a quarter for you.”
He tied the dog to a chair and ran
over to a hardware btore and bought a
collar. Then be went to a drygoods

“Is he all right for this climate?”
“O, yes.”
“Good-natured ?”
“A perfect baby.”
“How much’ll buy him?”
“Well—urn. I never set any value
on him. He’s a present, and I suppose
" ought to keep him, but as he is a fox
dog and this fa a lox country, some
good man around hero ought to have
him.”
“Will you take $20?”
“Um! Make it twenty-five.”
“Can’t do It. Jnst got two tens here

Atlanta, April 2.—The Farmers’
Allince and tbe jute baggingtrusthave
made peace. Tbe proposition of the
Cordage Bagging Company to 6upply
bagging at 6*^ cents per-yard for one
and a half pounds; 6^ cents for one
and three-quarter pounds; 7*£ cents
for two pounds, and cents for two
and a halt pounds, has been accepted.
These are maximum prices and com
petition may reduce them.
It fa thought that thfa means the sale
in advance of bagging for at least half
of tbe cotton crop, '
Heretofore the farmers have obeyed
the Alliance, although It caused them
to buy bagging at over $1 per bale
extra cost. Now that the price of Jute
bagging is reduced^ the AlHancemen
will adopt 4.
The CordsgeXConr.pany represents

“What effect has . thfa increase ol
trade with us had?”
It has, in the last flye years, re
sulted In a decrease of Mexican trade
with Euglaiid and France, that with
Germany remaining about the same.”
“Do you consider Mexican Invest
ments secure?” General Sampson was
asked.
’Some of the host financiers of the
country so consider them. American
capital to the amount of $40,000,000
will go Into Mexico this year, making
fully $100,000,000 invested there.”
“In what fa thfa money lovested?”
“Principally in mines and smelters.
The development of the mineral re
source* promise to be something
enormons.”
“Oughtn’t Mexico be made

“No one h better qualified to judge of
this than tin authorities In Washing

suggestion in his last message. There
war- no political significance In thfa;
it v/hh because ot the increased import
ance of that nation to ours.”
