TWO BOLD RASCALS.
“Hungry Joe” and “Grand Central Pete” as They
Were Described by an Old Detective—The Methods
of the Two Confidence Men.
“The two most brazen bunko steerers
that ever lived,” said an old New York
detective, “were ‘Hungry Joe’ and ‘Grand
Central Pete.” And I hold that there
never was the equal of Pete—Peter Lake
was his name—in the swindling line.
The two men worked precisely the same
game and in their careers were about
equally successful, but there was this
difference: Joe Lewis, or ‘Hungry Joe,’
was a born thug. If he hadn’t been a
man of brains, he’d have been a sand-
bagger, and even as it was it was a diffi-
cult matter for him to be even decently
polite to his victim after he had stripped
him. I’ve known him to grab a man’s
money and then punch the man, when,
with a little patience, he could just as
easily have talked him out of it.
“I remember well how this phase of
Joe’s character landed him in jail for a
good term once. An English tourist nam-
ed Ramsden came here and fitted up a
swell hotel.” Joe spotted him and intro-
duced himself on Broadway one day as
Henry F. Post, nephew of Captain Mur-
phy of the Gallia, the steamer in which
Ramsden had come over. How Joe
knew that Murphy and the Englishman
had become great friends on the voyage
I don’t know, but it was a fact that they
had, and Joe was on with Ramsden at
once. Well, there are a whole lot of
details about this case that I'll skip, but
by the usual methods the tourist was in-
duced to drop into a place on Grand
street, where a deck of cards turned up
unexpectedly. Things were going beau-
tifully, and the Englishman had ten £5
notes in his hand, ready to bet them,
when the sight of the money made Joe
lose control of himself. He grabbed the
money, upper cut Mr. Ramsden and skip-
ped out. I picked him up a few days
later, and Ramsden pushed the case, so
we sent Joe up the river.
“Joe could do a neat job though. He
made a chum out of Oscar Wilde when
the latter visited this country and used
to dine with him at the old Hotel Bruns-
wick almost every day. He worked him
to perfection and finally got a check for
$5,000 out of him. Somebody tipped
Wilde off about his friend, however, and
the author beat Joe to the bank with a
stop payment order by about two min-
utes. But, on the whole, Joe’s impetu-
ousness, inspired by greed and partially
the result of a strain of brutality in him,
made him, in my mind, a second rater.
“But this man Lake was the wonder.
He was the finished swindler if there
ever was one. They used to say that
he could talk a bank note from a man’s
pocket to his own, and I verily believe he
could. He talked incessantly. When he
sought a victim, he would pick out his
man, then make a rush at him, grab him
by the hand and talk, talk, talk. The
man would never get a chance to say a
word. Sooner or later Pete would say
something that would interest the man,
and when he’d done that he knew it.
Actually that man has talked his way
into the confidence of hundreds of intelli-
gent men whom he had never seen or
heard of before. Nothing ever feazed
him, and he invariably got something out
of his victims. He was never in a hurry,
and long after he had a man and the
money was in his grasp he would toy
with his victim just for amusement. I
could tell you dozens of stories about
Peter Lake that would amaze you, but
I will only relate one. This story is
strictly true, and. I could mention the
names of the two business men of this
city who are involved, but I won’t for
various reasons.
“Pete had spotted a man who sat at a
desk in the window of a Forty-second
street building every day. One morning
he decided to pluck him. He got hold of
a boy who was passing.
“‘You are my son Willie,” he cried.
‘Come with me and call me papa. If all
goes well, you get $5.”
“The boy was 16 years old and a bright
boy. He agreed to the terms, and, tak-
ing him by the hand, Pete rushed into
the office occupied by the man he had
seen from the street. He gave him the
old game of talk, and from the great
mass of words hurled at him the man
managed to extract the information that
his visitor’s son Willie was about to start
back for Yale after a week’s visit home
and that his father had forgotten his
pocketbook and wanted to borrow $50.
Pete gave a name which he had taken at
random from the building directory in the
hall, and in ten minutes he had $50 out
of his victim and he was going west on
Forty-second street while Willie was go-
ing east.
“When the victim recovered from the
assault of words, he tumbled to the fact
that he had been swindled and started
after Pete. He saw him get on a Broad-
way car and calling a detective put him
on the trail. Pete jumped off the car «*
Leonard ‘street, rushed into a wholesale
dry goods store—he knew he was being
followed—and jollied his way without
being announced into the office of the
head of the firm. A half hour later the
detective, who had lost the trail and
found it again, burst into the office and
found Pete smoking the cigars of the
head of the firm and talking business
with that individual. The detective want-
ed to arrest Pete at once. He denounced
him as a notorious bunko steerer, but
was requested to leave the office by the
merchant. The detective’s explanations
and expostulations vere in vain, and he
finally had to get out. He went outside,
however. and lay for Pete. But that
slick individual had actually induced the
merchant to let him out by a rear door,
and Pete got away.
“When Superintendent Byrnes heard of
the matter, he had the merchant come to
headquarters and explain why he allow-
ed the crook to escape. Well, sir, the
merchant was indignant over the thing.
It took neariy an hour to make him see
what a fool he had been, and then he saw
it all at once. But what do you think
of a man with such powers as those of
Lake?”’—New York Sun.
Sympathy.
“How long, my young friend,” inquir-
ed the venerable judge, “have you been
trying to make a living by practicing law
in this city 9”
“Six years,” said the young attorney.
“How unfortunate.”
“l don’t know, your honor. I have
managed to pick up a pretty good living.”
“l was thinking of the community,”
mused the judge, shaking his head.—Chi-
cago Tribune.
Thought There Was War. |
1n describing the course of the United
States steamer Wilmington up the Ama-
zon river E. H. Coleman relates the fol-
lowing amusing incident in Ainslee’s
Magazine:
Six days after her departure from Ma-
naos the Wilmington reached a point
where the Solimoes ends and the Rio
Maranon and Rio Javari, which form it,
begin. The Rio Javari has the distine-
tion of serving as the boundary line be-
tween Brazil and Peru for some 500
miles, and close to its junction with the
Maranon is a small town, Tabatinga, at
which is maintained a force of Brazilian
soldiers, who have the monotonous task
of guarding the frontier.
The Wilmington fired a national salute
as she slowly approached the station and
sent a boat ashore to exchange the usual
courtesies. On gaining the little wharf
extending out from the bluff banks in
front of the town the officer in charge
of the gunboat’s cutter noticed, with
some surprise, that the crowd of specta-
tors previously observed on the shore had
entirely disappeared.
There were several Brazilian soldiers
at the landing, and one of these ventured
to approach the naval officer. The Bra-
zilian seemed greatly disturbed, and from
the actions of his companions it was evi-
dent they felt unaccountably alarmed.
“Senhor,” exclaimed the former hastily,
“we are without news, and we beg that
you will enlighten us at once.”
“News of what?’ was the American’s
puzzled reply. “% am sure I'’—
“Then there is no war?’ broke in the
soldier.
“Not in this part of the world.”
“But you fired ?”’ :
The Wilmington’s representative stifled
his desire to laugh and gravely explained
the gunboat’s presence and her well
meant courtesy in expending so much
powder.
“I am delighted,” finally confessed the
Brazilian. “But, senhor,” he added, “you
have depopulated the village. All the
natives have fled to the jungle, and I
doubt if we can induce them to return
until you have gone. Senhor, those guns,
they echo yet!”
A mile or two above Tabatinga several
huts were noticed near the river’s bank,
but the most careful scrutiny with glass-
es could not discover signs of life. It
was plainly apparent the salute of the
Wilmington had badly frightened every
Indian within hearing.
Crafty Tom Byrnes.
When former Superintendent ‘Thomas
Byrnes was the celebrated Inspector
Byrnes of the New York detective force,
he occupied a queer suit of rooms in one
corner of the old marble police head-
quarters in Mulberry street. It was al-
ways a place of mystery. The inspector
sat at a flat table at one end of the room.
It was frequently covered with papers.
On the walls, in glass cases, were odds
and ends of. criminelogy—bits of rope
that had hanged notorious murderers,
black caps, revolvers that had figured in
infamous cases and other depressing ob-
jects. .
One day the inspector left a new re-
porter at his table and went into an-
other room. He was gone half an hour.
When he came back, the reporter said:
“Inspector, did you. have me watched
while you were gone?”
“No. Why?”
. “There are some pretty interesting pa-
pers on your desk, aren’t there?”
“Nothing of any great value.
you ask?”
“What was to prevent my reading
some of those letters and getting a
mighty good story for my paper?’ asked
the reporter.
“Two reasons,” answered the inspector.
“In the first place, I never leave a scrap
of paper on my desk that the whole
world is not welcome to read. Secondly,
you couldn’t have touched a sheet with-
out my knowing it. Look at that pen-
holder,” pointing to a cheap affair laid
carelessly across a bundle of papers.
“Notice the direction in which it points.
One end points at that doorknob and the
other at that black cap. Now, you never
would have noticed that, but I did before
leaving the room, and if you had touched
a single paper you would have displaced
that penholder, and I would have known
it.” — Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post.
Why do
Gladstone and Quaritch.
The late Mr. Quaritch had a high opin-
ion of Mr. Gladstone's knowledge of an-
tique books, and when the Grand Old
Man visited, as he often did, the shop in
Piccadilly he was invariably shown by
the proprietor any curiosity that chanced
to be in his possession. One day Mr.
Quaritch handed Mr. Gladstone Sir
Thomas Elyot’s black letter, “Castell of
Helth,” printed in 1534, and said, “Do
you see anything wrong with it?”
The old statesman fixed his pince-nez
and scanned the title page. Something
excited his suspicion, so he picked up a
magnifying glass and had a good look at
the printing. “Facsimiled and not a type
impression, 1 fancy, Mr. Quaritch,” was
Mr. Gladstone's comment.
He was right. The title page was
missing, but it had been restored so in-
geniously as to deceive anybody but an
expert. Mr. Quaritch was wont to say,
“In most points about a book Gladstone’s
just about right.”—London Chronicle.
Sword and Bayonet.
The sword is the ordinary emblem of
war. Did you ever hear of any one
wounded with a sword? The bayonet is
equally worthless; fighting men are get-
ting farther apart all the time as a re-
sult of civilization. Civilization is smart,
but cowardly. An officer rides at the
head of his troops with a sword. Why
does he not carry a Winchester? A
sword is not only a relic of barbarism,
but it is ridiculous. “The pen is mightier
than the sword” is an old saying. It
should be changed to “The pen is might-
ler than the Winchester.” — Atchison
Globe.

feast?”

American Heiresses.
“An Americ. girl had better be aeaa
than marry a foreign aristocrat. Let
these so called noblemen alone. That is
my advice to every young American wo-
man,” said the Comtesse Lorean de Cha-
vanne in an interview. She was former-
ly Miss Benson of Brooklyn, daughter
of Captain Henry John Benson of the
revenue cutter service, and speaks from
experience.
“I want to warn American young wo-
men to shun the decadent foreigners with
titles who try to marry rich wives,” she
added. “It is a matter of barter and
sale. 1 was an American girl, and when
very young I married a Frenchman of
title. When he died, I found among his
papers a ‘contract which he had made
with a person who was in that business
to find him an eligible wife with a for-
tune. He paid in installments for the
services of the person who brought me
to his attention. He squandered my
money, and my life was unhappy.
“My experience is typical of the rotten-
ness of the foreign aristocracy, especially
that of France. Among these impecu-
nious nobles flourishes the business of
high class matrimonial agents with a
quasi social standing, who, for a commis-
sion, find wives for marriageable men
of title. It is infamy, and I want to
warn the poor little American girls who
go abroad with false notions and who
are easily dazzled by a title against the
shame of it.
“As the wife of the Count Chavanne I
moved for some years in the society of
the Faubourg St. Germain. I know its
little sins and its big sins. I know its
scandals, and I know the private history
of many persons whose names are spoken
with awe in the society of New York
city. The histories of many of them will
not bear inspection.
“When there is marriage without love,
how can you keep out scandal? High
society in France has all too much of it.
It is honeycombed with it. When the
poor American girl whose papa has a fat
bank account goes to Paris, she is flat-
tered by attentions which she receives
from Mme. This and Mme. That. Ma-
dame proposes to introduce her to her
own milliner, where she can secure the
very latest French gowns. Such a
thoughtful kindness touches the little
American girl, who can never know that
madame gets a commission from the
milliner. She will get a commission on
the little American girl, too, if she can
manage to marry her to some gilded no-
bleman. ‘
“Sham, hypocrisy, deceit and lying are
typical of French noblemen in high so-
ciety. Women of title and fashion rent
their opera boxes by the year. A night
comes when she does not care to go to
the opera. Mme. Somebody offers it to
some American family flattered to death
to be seen in the titled Frenchwoman’s
opera box. No, she won’t accept pay,
but if the liberal Americans want to give
anything to my lady’s poor fund. why, it
will be accepted.
“When I ieft France, I was assured of
a fine income if I would only keep a
sharp watch here for rich American heir-
esses intending to go to Paris and pro-
vide the means for their introduction to
the proper parties in Paris.”—San Fran-
cisco Argonaut.
Thackeray’s Taverns,
When Harry Warrington comes to
London, he puts up at the Bedford and
dines with Mr. Draper at the Cock. That
establiShment, however, must have been
conducted on somewhat different princi-
ples in George II's reign from those
which governed it in the days of Queen
Victoria, for Mr. Draper had ordered
what he called ‘an elegant collation
there” beforehand, a thing unknown at
the Cock when the plump head waiter
held sway.
In Vanity Fair Dobbin and George Os-
borne dine at Slaughter’s, in Sf. Martin’s
lane, a house which seems in Colman’s
time to have been much used by French-
men. There he and Mr. Chopper, Os-
borne’s head clerk, and the two ensigns,
Spooner and Stubble, have “a famous
dinner” together. before the officers de-
part on the Waterloo campaign.
When Dobbin revisits the house after
ten years in India, John, the old waiter,
receives him as if he had onlyleft the day
before and supposes he’ll have a roast
fowl for his dinner. These faithful old
waiters at these old taverns regarded
regular customers as friends and practic-
ed much the same familiarity with them
as the old fashoned manservant used
with his master’s family in which he had
lived perhaps half a century and for
whom he would have died. In *“Penden-
nis” we have Dick’s and the Albion. Of
Dick’s Thackeray seems to write with
special interest, as if it had been a fa-
vorite resort of his own in early days.—
Blackwood’s.
The First House,
Some time ago the dead letter office in
Washington received a foreign letter ad-
dressed to the “First House In America.”
The chief clerk of the puzzle bureau sent
the letter to the federal barge office of
New York on the theory that this would
be the first house entered by a foreign
immigrant landing in America. His the-
ory proved correct, for when the letter
was opened it was found to contain a
communication in Russian informing the
immigration commissioner of the impend-
ing arrival of some Polish Jewesses who
expected to be met at the barge office by
their relatives. “The first house in Amer-
ica” is not a bad description for the little
gray stone building that stands at the tip
end of New York surmounted by a turret
and flagstaff flying a faded specimen of
Old Glory above the vertical stripes and
stars of the custom house. This is where
all immigrants admitted to New York
first set foot on dry land.—Collier’s
Weekly.
Unequal Punishment,
How long =hould an honest man be
punished for a mistake? If a dishonest
man commits a robbery or a murder, ke
is punished for a given term of years,
but if he is a fairly honest citizen and
tries to do his duty and makes a mistake
de is punished as long as he lives.—
Atchison Globe.

Worry is a state of spiritual corrosion.
A trouble either can he remedied or it

cannot be, dismiss it from consciousness,
or bear it so bravely that it may become

ture in ten colors, by Paul de Longpre, the
famous flower painter, entitled, ‘“‘A Yard
of Roses.” It is twice as large as any
picture ever given away bya newspaper,

The Thistle’s Meaning.
Do you know why the thistle is the na-
tional flower in Scotland? The story is a
pretty one,and very characteristic of the
Scotch. It is said that eenturies ago the
Danes were making an intoad into Scotland.
They were advancing cautiously at night.
But, unfortunately, they were barefooted.
They had got close to the Scotch camp when
one of the men at the head of their column
stepped on a thistle. Did you ever put
down your foot squarely upon a real
Scotch thistle ? If you have you will not
be surprised to hear that that man gave a
scream of pain.
