LOOKING FOR FOOLS.
New York Sharpers Working the
Green Goods Game.
THE COUNTRY FLOODED WITH CIR
CULAKS TO CATCH PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO OCT RICH QUICK—IN
DUCEMENTS TO HE DISHONEST.
The green goods game has been work
ed fur so many years in every section of
the country that people generally consid
ered it about played out, although a case
comes to light every now and then
shoeing where some avaricious country
man has been buncoed. The frequent
exposures by the newspapers of the
plans of counterfeit dealers have almost
broken up the business, and the man
who nibbles at their flattering baits and
gets left is set down as a person deserv
ing of no sympathy. During the past
few weeks the eastern portion of this
State has been Hooded with circulars
from New York, in which inducements
are made to business men to handle the
goods. Enclosed with each circular is a
clipping from a Western newspaper, de
tailing at length the arrest of one of the
gang and his subsequent release, because
the government experts refused to testi
fy that the money was counterfeit, the
imitation being so good. Some of these
letters have found their way to Freeland,
and the following is a copy of one re
ceived by a young business man here:
CONFI IIENTIAI,.
DEAR Sin.— l am desirous of obtaining a
shrewd agent In your locality to handle my
"g< -ods." I enclose herewith a newspaper clip
ping, which gives all tllo information that
could be desired and explains Itself. Thinking
you are in a position to handle my goods safely !
I have concluded to write you, and if you don't I
care to invest in this enterprise I hope you will !
excuse the liberty I have taken In making the I
proposition. I have a very sup. rior article of j
the kind, in faot the best over issued or put on
the market; the sizes run from one to twenty.
I warrant each and every note to be perfect as
to paper, coloring, vignette, printing, engrav
ing and signatures, and when made to appear
as having been handled much, I defy the la st
bunk clerk or expert Pi tell them from the gen
uine. It has cost mo a great deal of time and
money to perfect these goods nrd I
HAVE AT LAST SUCCEEDED
where many others failed, in producing the
genuine fibre paper. My stock now iR as neat
and perfect as human skill can make it.
Remember, this is an article which will go
anywhere and everywhere, leaving for you a
net profit of from ten to twelve hundred per
cent., according to the amount you buy. These
goods cannot be detected in the ordinary course
of trade, and only at the treasury in Washing
ton through the duplication of the numbers,
and not then if the genuine bill of the same
number is still in circulation, so that they are
really as good as gold Now, my friend (as I
will take the liberty of calling you;, we are
strungers to one another, but if \ oil are desir
ous of handling these goods, and will come here
to see me, you will find me a square white man
in ull my dealings, as my
MANNER OF DOING ILL'SINESS.
will show.
It is as fpi lows: When you come here I will
show you my entire stock, from one to one
hundred thousand dollars, compare them with
the genuine, and in fact submit them to any
test ou see fit, before you pay me a single dol
lar, then after you are thoroughly satisfied on
every point, you can select whatever sizes you
want and puy cash for your purchase, and
carry the goods home with you. Now, my
friend, to do this business safely, it must be
done "face to face." Experience has taught
me that this is the only safe way to transact
this business, and most satisfactory for us both.
When you come here you can see me and
WHAT YOU ARB BUYING,
and I can Pee and judge the man I am to placi
confidence in for future business, besides it is
absolutely necessary that I should see you on
our first deal, as there are some few secrets per
taining to the business and necessary to suc
cess, wnich I don't care to put in writing, and
is only Imparted to a customer "by word of
mouth," at a personal Interview, ns a customer
only has the same interest I have, in keeping
these private matters to himself.
Remember, 1 do not ask or expect to be paid
one cent till you have the goods in your own
possession. Do not ask me to send goods by
mail r express, as it is not a safe way for
either of us; it is better to be sure and safe than
to transact a business of this nature in a care
less manner. Now, my friend, if you wish to
make a deal with me, do not hesitate too long
over the matter. It is always
BEST TO BE AMONG THE FIHST
than one of the last to tako hold of a thing of
this kind. If you will come on at once I can
guarantee you a clear field to work in, and if i
am sntlsfled at a personal interview that you
would make me a good agent. I may offer yon
more liberal Inducements to take the Stab
agency and make you a special rate for any
deal over s:.'o.o<X).
If you have not the money to buy my goods,
I would consent to your taking eorao confiden
tial friend in with you, who has; provided, of
course, he is trustworthy and could keep the
secret You could both then come on together
and mnkc the deal, however you would be vcrv
foolish to tuke any one in with you if you 1
could raise enough money yourself. Yau can
make money faster and easier by dealing in
my goods than you ever dreamed of before in
your life. You are
BOUND TO BR SUCCESSFUL.
There can he no such thin# us fail. An oppor
tunity like this to make an independent fortune
in a short time, and at a comparatively small
Investment is well worth a favorable consid
eration, and should not bo rejected hastily from
conscientious scruples or otherwise.
It was never intended that one man should
have millions and another nothing; the wealth
and good things of this world are too unevenly
distributed; others have grown rich around
you, but they were not slow to grasp opportu
nities, and unless you have enough money to
live comfortably on for the rest of your days,
tills is just the business you want to take hold
of, as the goods can be handled with
PERFECT BAFEIY AND IMMENSE PItOFIT
to yourself, and enable you to provide a com
petency for your old age and pass your remain
ing years in ease and comfort.
No wrong in it. Uncle Sam has millions of
OUR money locked up in the treasury, uselessly
and unjustly so. I know that you have some
distance to come, but considering the tremen
dous profits and no risks whatsoever, it is well
worth the slight inconvenience of a journey
here, and as far as expenses are concerned I
will make a liberal allowance to cover them,
and I promise that if you do not find my goods
just as represented, or should you upon any
reasonable pretext whatsoever decline to con
summate a trade, I guarantee to refund you
your entire expenses, from the time you leuvo
home till you return, and make u
LIBERAL ALLOWANCE
for loss of time, inconvenience to business, etc.
Now, sir, your own good sense should tell you
I can have no object in misrepresenting my
| Roods and bringing you here on a fool's errand,
• | dan do not, because I am in this line of busi
j ness, doubt my word or consider me otherwise
I than meaning you well, as you are not a>ked to
invest a single dollar till you have sem, ex
amined and are thoroughly satisfied in every
respect, and have the goods in your own pos
session.
My terms are: $450 for $5,000; S7OO for $10,000;
, SUUO for $a),000, and $40,000 costs SL\OOO. $5,000
tor $450 is the very smallest amount I will sell
under any circumstances. I will give you the
"State right," that is the sole privilege of
handling the goods throughout your State, if
you take slo,oooor more of my goods. My object
in placing my smallest amount at $450 is to
keep out irresponsible parties, as I want none
but
GOOD RELIABLE MEN
to engage with me. Remember, I sell my goods
so cheaply on the first, deal in order to give ray
customer a fair build up a irade; on
all after deals, which surely follow, I charge 25
cents on the dollar. I will not do a retail trude,
as thereby it would let too many into the busi
ness and its seerets. Now, sir, when you have
fully made up your mind and prepared to come
} MII, obey the following instructions, and do only
j just as I tell you. be guided by my experience
and advice and you will do just right.
Do not, as long as you live, ever write me a
letter; if you do I shall refuse to receive it, and
furthermore all business relations between us
will end The only way in which
YOU CAN COMMUNICATE
with me is by telegram. Don't forget this, and
remember I mean exactly what I say.
On receipt of your telegram, I will immcdt- |
ately send you simple and plain instructions !
how to see and know me, and will appoint u
place of meeting at some hotel, in some town
within fifty miles of this city. If I am alive I
will surely meet you. Don't attempt to come
on to iind me without first telegraphing to me
for instructions. Send telegrums, which will
be promptly received, to the enclosed address.
I In.pe you will tuke no offense at the above,
if you do not iike the business, and I will trust
n your honor not to do me any harm. Please
destroy this letter. Yours respectfully,
and in strict confidence, i i
"You KNOW."
On a separate slip of paper in the let
ter are the directions referred to, and hy
which communication can be had with
tlie dealers. It reads:
KEEP THIS FOR REFERENCE.
When you arc ready to come and see me send '
me the following telegraph despatch:
G. LEWIS,
it . . , Third Avenue, New York City.
Send duplicate engraving of Barrett, No. 758,"
and sign your telegram Tom, George, Henry,
Frank or any other name you choose. I will
understand who it is from.
CAUTION.—In sending telegram be sure and
send the right words and number, as it is abso
lutely necessary. Without these I would not
know who it is from.
Remember write me no letters. I will not re
ceive or answer them.

from members of Camp 147,
I*. 0. S. of A. Its cost is a little
less than $10,00(1, and the build

most costly, is the finest piece
of architectural work in Free
land, and is from a design of
Davey & Walker, of Wilkes-
Rarre, Pa. The corner-stone
was laid on September 10, 1891,
and the bpilding was dedicated
on February 22, 1892, the cere
monies on both occasions being
performed by State officials of
the P. O. S. of A. The con

The second floor is divided into
offices and a medium-sized
meeting room. The third floor
is taken up completely with
one large lodge room, which is
occupied nightly by different
organizations. Surmounting the J
building is a globe and eagle, f

Powderly'a (>r<ut Letter.
The Newsdealer callß upon the TRIBUNE
for the inside hilory of the Powderly
letter. It says that "any of the ttreat
metropolitan dailies would have been
glad to have published it in advance of
their rivals, and the fact that it was
made public at Freeland iH regarded as
line of the explicable tilings." The let
ter was published on February 18 in the
Journal of the Knights of Labor, the ofii
cial organ of the order. A request was
sent from the TRIBUNE to the Journal to
procure Powderly's consent to the use of
his article, and feeling secure that it
would be obtained, as was often the case
previously, the article was put in type.
The General Master Workman was ab
sent from Philadelphia at the time, but
word was sent front headquarters author
izing the TRIBUNE to use it, and the ef
fect itsappearance produced in the news
paper circles of New York ami Philadel
phia, as w ell as the coal regions, is well
known.
M in-t Strike to Have the Law Enforced.
The miners of the .Schuylkill region
are evidently opposed to the monthly
pay system. This was demonstrated on
Monday by a strike which took place at
the Kpringdale or Park No. 1 colliery.
The nten were notified sonte time ago by
the operators, Lentz, Lilly & Co., that
the semi-monthly system would be aban
doned. This created dissatisfaction
among the men and two-thirds of the
force struck. It, is thought that the
Morea colliery will join in the strike.
The Tigers' Hull.
Notwithstanding the Btormy weather
the friends of the Tigers turned out
strong on Monday evening and partici
pated in one of the best balls held here
since the Opera House has been opened.
The artistic decorations of the hall sur
passed nything seen here previously.
The grand march was led by Jas. M.
Gallagher and Miss Joe llrennan. De-
Pierro's Orchestra and St. Patrick's
Cornet Band furnished music during the
evening.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1892.
THEY DEFY THE LAWS.
Another Firm Refuses tj Pay
Semi-Monthly.
RAILROAD COMPANIES AND COAL
KINGS OPENLY VIOLATING THE
LAWS OF THE STATE-ITS EFFECT
UPON WORKIN'GMEN.
Notices were placed this week at all
the collieries operated by the Pardees,
in which their thousundH of emplox'ees
are informed that monthly payments are
to he resumed. As everybody well
knows, this is a direct violation of the
law and makes the operators liable to a
fine not exceeding S2OO. Whether the
factory inspector, whose duty it is to en
force this law, will succeed is not yet
known, but even though the coal kings
are in the end compelled to retrench
from their present position, they have
given sufficient proof that they are a
law-breaking class who are not worthy
to associate with the most ignorant Hun
in their employ.
I The operators of the Lehigh region
; are the must dangerous people in Penn
i sylvania to-day. They are sowing seeds
ol anarchy in the hearts of thousands of
workingmen, and when the day of
reckoning comes, andcoine it will before
they make many monthly payments,
these same operators will he the first to
feel the vengeance of the men whose
rights they are now ignoring. Their
lying statements that the men desire to
return to the monthly system may possi
bly make their violations excusable in
the eyes of people outside the coal re
gions, hut it lias no weight with the men
here and only helps to embitter the
feeling that is being aroused against
thein.
The utter disregard of the State consti
tution by the Heading Railroad Company
was enough to force upon the miners in
one year. The latter allowed the min
ing corporations to carry on their com
pany stores since last summer, when the
law said they should he abolished, with
out protest, ami now for the operators to
defy the s mi-monthly pay law is cer
tainly carrying the matter too near the
danger line. The coal and railroad
companies call upon the law to protect
their property in times of strife, and
they should remember that it has always
been done, because public sentiment bus
always been opposed to allowing work
ingmen to disrespect the law.
Hut if the constitution and laws of the
State can be evaded and openly violated
by operators, then who will dare ask the
laboring element to obey when they take
the question in their own hands? And
that is just what will be d. ne if legal
means tail. The operators are said to
have be n alarmed last week when they
read Powderly's proclamation, which
ended with the paragraph, "Let us ascer- j
'** 2
rj;
jjpflj
tain whether we can legally redress our
wrongs belore resorting to Well,
they trail reason to be alarmed and if
tlrey have any common sense they will
cease their nefarious work of goading
men on to a social revolution, or tlrey
will to their sorrow discrver what that
dash means.
Ihe TRIBUNE will never advocate or
uphold any principle or doctrine that is
tainted with anarchy, but it will endea
vor to make workingmen strike the
tilow, peacefully if they can, forcibly if
they must, that will free them from in
dustrial slavery. It was not anarchy
when Americans threw off by force
Great Britain's yoke, and it will not be
anarchy to break the chains that bold
hundreds of thousands of American citi
zens the slaves of A. A. McLeod and a
half dozen coal kings. The railroad
magnates and coal operators have yet
time to tetreat, and if they do BO the
workingmen will be with them once
more in maintaining the dignity of the
law. If not, let them imagine as they
wish the meaning of that dash, and then
prepare for what they can imagine.
Cure for the Grip,
La grippe is prevented and cured by
the timely and persistent, use of N. H.
Downs' Elixir. During the prevalence
of la grippe two years ago the Bale of
Downs' Elixir was enormous, and the
cases in which the disease was broken
up on the start by its faithful use were
numbered by thousands. Be sure and
get the Elixir on the first appearance of
the disease, and persevere in taking it
I until cured. Sold by Dr. Schilcher.
Many License Applications Itefiiseil.
There were many angry men around
the c ourt House on Tuesday, according
to the Newsdealer, and many who were
not bashful let others know they were
angry. Misery loves company and
groups formed after the announcements
were made refusing their applications
for liquor licenses and many and loud
were the questions asked but never
answered, "Why didn't I get my license,
so-and-so got his and why not I?" There
were 1,042 applications; 133 of these are
refused and 52 held over for a reconsid
eration or fun her hearing to-morrow
morning. In Freeland all the old appli
cants and one new one, DePierro Bros.,
i were granted licenses. The applications
| of Daniel Boner and It. Ludwig were
I held over, and the following refused:
Borough, Andrew Cumy, John Gaylo;
township, Andrew Iludoek, Patrick Mee
han, Albert Novak, George D. Thomas,
I Daniel A. Furey, Robert Mulreany, Me
j chelino DePierro.
Reception at St. Ann's Convent.
! Early this morning the Sisters of Mercy
Convent connected with St. Ann's
Church was the scene of one of the most
impressive ceremonies of the Catholic
j Church. Two young ladies were ad
j vanced from novitiates t. a higher de
gree and one admitted to full member-1
I ship in the sisterhood. Miss Julia
Brown, of Hazleton, known in the re-,
j ligioUß world as Sister Antonio, complet
ed her term of two and one-half years
I probation and was given the black veil
lof the order. Miss Susie McMenamin,
I of South Heherton (Sister Camariek), and
j Miss Madge McFadden, of Drilton (Sis
j ter Magdalen), were given the white veil,
j having faithfully served their six
j months' trial as novitiates.
Tie ceremonies were conducted by
Bishop O'Hara, of Scran ton, who was
assisted by Fathers Fallihee and Mc-
Nally, of St. Ann's; Muzotas, of St.
j Kasimer's, and Cummiskey, id' Hazle
ton. They began at 6.30 A. M. in the
convent chapel, and were carried out o
an elaborate scale and in keeping with
the solemnity of the occasion. Before
asking the required questions the bishop
spoke in a touching manner to the young
ladies, defining the great step in life they
were about to take inaccepting tiie vows
of poverty, chastity and obedience.
He asked of all present their prayers
for those about to he received, that they
might persevere to the end in the noble
and sacrificing work they were about to
undertake. About thirty friends of the
young ladies were present.
How It Took in Brooklyn.
The comedian, Augustin Neuville, in
his reconstructed play, "The (New) Boy
j Tramp," is the card at the Novelty
Theatre this week. The play is a strong
melodrama with an excellent comedy
j vein in it The scenes are laid in New
; York and vicinity. It tells the story of
a legacy left to a brother by his parents,
part of which was in trust to him for the
benefit of a dissolute brother, who, with
his female paramour, the keeper of a
gambling house, plots the murder of his
good brother and succeeds in the crime.
For a time the scheme works wed but
eventually retribution overtakes the
criminals. The first scene represents a
waterfall on the Passaic river, and the
act ends in the murder. In the last act
there is an East river scene at night,
with the big bridge, illuminated steam
boats and other craft moving, line moon
light effects, etc. Mr. Neuvide, as
Bhurpe, the tramp, who has a Nat Good
win style about his acting, did some
excellent comedy work, and becomes
the medium through which the villain
of the piece is brought to justice to the
unbounded delight of the excited specta
tors. There were several curtain calls.
The supporting company is a good one.

Monday's Ftal Accident.
One of the saddest accidents that oc
curred in town for some time took place
at the Lehigh Valley station on Monday,
and resulted in the death of Edward
Gallagher, a well-known resident of
town. Mr. Gallagher was accompanying
a friend to the depot, and was walking
along the track from Ridge Street. He
failed to notice a train which was slowly
moving towards him, and when warned
by persons who were standing on the
platform he appeared to become be
wildered, and in the excitement o the
moment was unable to cross the track
and reach a point of safety. The tender
of the engine passed over the middle o'
his body, causing instant death. The
deceased was a married man, aged 45
years, and leaves a wife to mourn his
sudden death. An inquest was held
Monday evening, when a number of wit
nesses testified, and the jury returned a
verdict of accidental death, thus exon
erating the railroad company. The
funeral took place from his residence on
Main Street this morning, and was at
tended by relatives and friends from
here and Philadelphia; also by the St.
Patrick's Beneficial Society. A requiem
high mass was read at St. Ann's Church,
after which the interment was made
there.
.Special Council Meeting;.
The council met in special session last
evening for the purpose of passing upon
tlie accounts of the tax collector. The
usual list of exonerations were made,
after which the report was accepted and
placed on file. A resolution that all the
names of persons exonerated be placed
on the minutes was agreed to. The list
was a long one, many being dead or re
moved away for over two and three
years, while others were unknown and
could not be found. The report is a very
creditable one for the collector. The
regular monthly meeting of tlie council
will he held on Monday evening, when
the newly-elected members will take
oflice.
Organizing: a Military Company,
A movement lias been started in town
to organize a company of the National
Guard here. There is much talk around
Wilkes-Barre about increasing the Ninth
Regiment from eight to ten companies,
and this has spurred on the people who
are soliciting names for the new com
pany. By having an organization in
good working order when the time comes
to make this increase Freeland will have
quite a lead on other towns that are anx
ious to he represented in the N. G. P.
A number of names are already on the
list, and a meeting of those interested
will be held in a short while.
Going (< California.
Dr. W. V. Nichols left Freeland this

and after a few weeks recreation will re
move to California, where lie intends
residing for the future. 11 is friends ten
dered him a pleasant farewell at the
Central Hotel on Tuesday evening, and
the Doctor left with the good wishes of
all his acquaintances.

1 MR. J. D. MYERS, D. M. W.,
LOCK Box 24, FREELAND, PA.
MY DEAR SIR. Your letter of the 29th
ult. was duly received and contents
noted. All the authority of the State
will be exerted for the enforcement of
the Constitution. The XVII article
regulating railroad and canal companies
is a very wise provision of the funda
mental law. It commands nothing but
what is right, and forbids nothing but
what is clearly wrong. The Law De
partment of the State will contend vigor
ously for its execution.
Section 12 of the same articles provides
"the General Assembly shall enforce, by
appropriate legislation, the provisions of
this article." Action by the Legislature
providing penalties of imprisonment and
tine, would prove a much speedier reme
dy than that now offered.
Very respectfully,
ROBT. E. PATTISON.
