WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., July 4.
Investigation brought out the fact that
many men who are drawing disability
pensions are living in the soldiers'
homes without cost to themselves and
are earning regular wages for the perfor
mance of manual labor. Further inves
tigation shows that, except in the cases ;
of those who draw pensions under the j
act of 1890, nothing can be done to pre
vent a continuance of the practice with
out new legislation. "It is evident that
the whole system of pension laws," re
marked a congressman who was himself
a Union soldier, "are faulty and in need
of a thorough revision, but I have seri
ous doubts as to the courage of congress
to make that revision. Pensions have
been used as capital so long by dema
gogues that the people at large will have
to be educated on the subject before the
pressure upon congress becomes strong
enough to compell action. The prelim
inary steps in this educational work are
being taken by the administration in its
endeavor to clear the roll of illegal pen
sioners. Later the revision of the law
will come in answer to a public demand
in which thousand of old soldiers will
join, indeed, many of them have already
done so. As soon as pensions are en
tirely divorced from partisan politics jus
tice will be done, alike to the taxpayer
and the old soldier."
Both ends of the capitol building are
in the hands of a small army of work
men who are putting everything in ship
shape for the extra session of congress.
Everything is being overhauled and
freshened up or renewed as the exigen
cies of the case may demand.
Among the fraudulent pensioners
whose dropping from the roll was oili
cially approved this week were eleven
men shown by the records of the war
department to have been deserters and
who are still deserters at large, one man
who never was in the army at all and
several women who continued to draw
widow's pensions after they had married
again. Surely such as these have no
business on a "roll of honor."
President Cleveland was asked by the
committee in charge of the preparations
for the celebration of the centennial of
the corner-stone of the United States
capitol building to deliver the principal
oration upon the occasion, but as the
president expects to have his hands full
about the date of the celebration—Sep
tember 18—be told the committee that
he could not comply with their request,
but would gladly make a short speech
introducing the man tbey selected to de
liver the oration.
Last Friday closed the fiscal year, and
while the financial condition of the gov
ernment is not all that could be asked
for it is very much better than there was
any good reason six months ago, for ex
pecting that it would be at this time.
There were abundant reasons six months
ago for the fear that, instead of the com
fortable cash balance on hand, the ad
ministration would have to begin the new
year with a deficit. 8.

that rest and recuperation come not so '
much from cessation of activity some
times as from variety of occupation and
new surroundings, new faces and new

the visiting of new places and tho mak

to strengthen and refresh the tired toiler,

last year. Its capital stock is 30,000,000

TIIE STORK OF A BRICK IN A IIAO.
It Drove a Young Pcnnßylvanlun to Do
Murdor—Other Instances In Which tlio
Victim Has Shot the Swindler —Anthony
Comstock's Work.
It has come to pass In these times that
sympathy is not very generously accorded
to the victim of the gentlo dealer in green
goods, for mankind is prone to look with
out much allowance upon him who will
not heed warnings that are constantly
thrust upon him. And the almost daily
publication of the swindling of someone
by this aged method is un almost daily
warning, lie who passes it by is confessed
ly hebctudinous. Besides, it has permeated
the general intelligence that perhaps the
swindled is uo honcster than the swindler
—if indeed he he as honest.
TIIE BAO AND THE BRICK.
For awhile it is the ahn of the sharper to
swindle strangers only, the man who with
a little good money would purchase a lot
of counterfeit not only hopes to get a good
deal for not much more than nothing, but
is fain to realize by swindling his friends
and neighbors in passing off upon them
the green goods as genuine currency. That
in addition to this sneaking form of dis
honesty the buyers are at heart often des
perate persons of murderous intent is evi
denced by the occasional killing of a green
goods man by his victim.
By a coincidence interesting to the stu
dent of criminal news the latest case of
homicide of this sort took place hut a day
or two before Anthony Comstock's most
recent successful seizure of green goods was
effected. The man killed was Anthony
Martin—better known as Tony—who had
for many years made a comfortable income
off the gullible gudgeons attracted by bis
"coufldential circulars."
It was in this manner that the taking
oIT of Tony Martin came about. Two
brothers, Robert and Edward K. Hoerner,
sons of the owner of the Bessemer llou.se at
Bteelton, Pa., betook themselves to New
' York, as is supposed, for the purpose of do
ing up the green goods men. They had hod
some correspondence with a man who
signed himself George Phillips, and accord
ing to instructions received from him
stopped at Elizabeth, N. J., on their way to
the bigciry. They registered as Joseph and
Robert Hall and under these names met a
man sent by "Phillips," who called himself
Wogner. With him the brothers went to a
saloon in New York and met "Phillips."
He suggested that they should all go to
Williamsburg. He took along a satchel,
which, he said, coutaiued SIO,OOO in bogu9
money. It wus to be given to the young
men upon their turning over to him the
roll of good money (containing $050) which
they had. It would not do, "Phillips" said,
to make the transfer where inquisitive
strangers could witness it, and he suggested
that he and "Robert Hall" should go into
a saloon on Grecnpoint avenue while "Wag
ner" and "Joseph Hall" should go out and
talk the matter over and make the exchange.
This was agreed to, and an aged gentle
man Introduced as "Mr. Stern" and said to
bo uncle to Phillips accompanied them. He
beguiled the time by relating wonderful
stories of the advantages that were to ac
crue to the Hall brothers from the posses
sion of the SIO,OOO worth of green goods.
"Joseph Hall" was a trifle incredulous not
withstanding all this and insisted on see
ing the goods before he delivered the price.
"Very well," suid "Wagner." "Take tho
satchel and keep the money until wo get
back to the saloon. You can give it to me
there. But lam afraid that if wo all con
tinue to walk together the 'cops' will spot
us, so you had better go ahead with both
money and satchel, and we will follow."
This was assented to, though the young
Pennsylvania!) bad.a suspicion. When ho
turned to see if his companions were fol
lowing, they were not in sight. His sus
picion was strengthened by this circum
stance, and when ho felt in his pocket and
discovered that his s<3so was gone tho sus
picion became a certainty. When he tried
to open the satchel, he found that it was
locked. He whipped out his knife and cut
open the bag. It contained u brick. He
rushed to the saloon. "Phillips" and his
brother were still there.
"These scoundrels have swindled us/'
cried Joseph.
Then he drew his revolver and began to
shoot, though with such unsteady aim that
tho first bullets went wide. But the fourth !
found its mark, and "Phillips" received a I
mortal wound. The two brothers were ar-
JOSF.PH AND ROBERT HOERNER.
rested, and in a day or two "Phillips" died.
The Hoerner* are now behind the bars in
Brooklyn, one on a charge of murder direct
and the other on a charge of being accessory
before the fact to a murder.
Tho identification of Phillips as Tony
Martin took place on the day before his
death. Martin belonged to the notorious
McNallygang. He began his career us a
crook in the pickpocket line and was then
known as "Handback Tony." From the
business of picking pockets he rose to the
rank of expert "fliin Hammer" and was
then dubbed "Flim Flam Tony." Then he
was graduated as a green goods operator, j
Ilig conduct brought him frequently into
collision with the authorities, and during
his life he saw the inside of many jails and |
prisons. He was with Georgle Appo, the half
breed Chinaman wlio was shot by n farmer
in Poughkeepßie to whom they were sing
ing their Bongs, and Martin escaped that
: time by flight.
"Mr. Stern," who figured as the uncle of
"Phillips" during the episode with the
Hoerners, was Joe Blake, better known as
"Papa" Joe, while "Wagner" was Louis
Stern. For a time Martin had his green
goods headquarters in Jersey City, wliero
he went after the Poughkeepsie shooting,
and was there known as Andy Bowefs.
Anthony Comstock arrested him and took
him before n United States commissioner
in Newark, N. J. Martin gave bonds in
$3,000 for further appearance, but jumped
1 his bail, as he had often done before, and so
j escaped punishment. His printing offlco
was raided in New York some months ago.
i Perhaps the most sensational green goods
homicide in New York was that of Tim
Davis, who was killed by a Texan named
T. J. Holland. Holland made a pilgrimage
to New York with one John T. Hill, city
marshal of Colorado, Tex. They had had
considerable correspondence with Davis,
and they suspected his motivfes. It was
! their purpose to see that his play was
5 square or know the reason. Davis' method
| was the ancient panel game. When Hol
land and his friend had been lured into the
den, a satchel, into which Holland had seen
what purported to bo SIO,OOO of green goods
placed, was set on a table in front of the
panel. When the exchange of this satchel
for one containing only green paper was
attempted, the Texan's keen eye detected
the movement. He waited for no explanar
tions, but drawing a heavy revolver began
pumping lead into the person of Davis,
which presently became a corpse. Holland
was arrested and tried for murder, but was
allowed to go free.
J Anthony Comstock's recent capture of
i green goods in Connecticut was in accord
ance with the theory that most phenomenal
I successes are-accidents. He had arrested a
l thrifty Connecticut man for sending ob
| scene postal curds through the mails, and
he went to Bridgeport from New York by
boat to prosecute the ease. His attention
was accidentally drawn to a large packing
case which had broken open, leaving its
contents partly exposed to view. They knd
a familiar look to Comstock, and be inves
tigated. This resulted in the discovery that
' the box contained 8,000 addressed envelopes.
Each envelope contained three green goods
circulars, so that the find included 24,000
circulars. Mr. Comstock followed this up
and had the consignee, Louis Stevens of
Bridgeport, arrested. Stevens said he was
the agent of Simpson & lieed of New York.
l Besides tho circulars the box contained a
[ lot of private account books and the "steer
ing book" of the green goods men. From
them it was seen that they had taken in
$40,185 since April 1 of this year. The
"steering book" showed in detail just how
much was got from each victim. For in
stance, George Vicker of Mitchell, Ont., was
"roped" by Frenchy and Oliver, who en
riched themselves by S3OO in the operation.
| This money was divided as follows: "Joint"
''place of operation), sls; "steerer,"sls; "out
j look," $lO. This left S2OO, of which $155
went to the boss of the gang and $lO5 to
tho "ropers." If the gang did as good busi
ness every year, they would make about
$1,000,000 annually.
ANTIIONY COMSTOCK.
Mr. Comstock's work as head of tho So
ciety for the Suppression of Vice is well
khowu and variously commented on
throughout the country. Many consider
him to be a most despicable person, and it
is probably true that in some cases he has
overstepped tho mark, especially in his
seizures of works of art and the stoppage
of certain publications. But on the other
hand his efforts have certainly been produo
tive of great gflod in many instances. He
has suppressed a very largo number of ob
jectionable publications of one kiud and
unother which formerly could bo bought In
most cities almost as openlv as the Biblo
and the dictionary, and which cannot now
be found at all. No one could meet him
and talk with him for 10 minutes without
being convinced of his sincerity. Ills facp
bear 9 a scar which was inflicted by a rascal
that he had brought to justice in Newark,
N. J. Ho is a man of unquestionable cour
ago and superior Intelligence, uud when he
aiu be induced to talk hi 9 conversation is
extremely interesting.
! Since his raid in Bridgeport the legisla
iuturo of Connecticut has passed a luw
making the green goods schemes felonious
offenses, as they have been for some years
in New York and New Jersey.
Though the headquarters of tho green
! goods men of New York city has for the
j lust two or three years boen hi tho suburbs,
: tho most of them live in tho city along the
upper portion of the Boulevard. There they
aro very popular, for few of their neigh bora
! know of their occupation, excepting possi
! bly tho saloon keepers, of whom tho swin
dlers are of course excellent customers.
I They live well and spend their money freely,
making friends with as many peoplo as pos-
I bible and taking care to conduct themselves
j unobjectionably near their own homes.
The men who make a living by shady
transactions in horseflesh live in the sumo
| locality and aro frequently "in cahoots"
i with the green goods men, and when the
green goods business is dull, as it sometimes
is, the latter occasionally turn to tho horso
business for relief. To their neighbors they
are known by ordinary names, and in some
eases probably their own, but among them
! selves they are called by various pictur
esque titles, such as "Paddy tho Pig,"
j "George the Coon," "Sam Sly," "Easy
j Jack," "Dutch Jake," "Fizz Mike," "Pret
ty Brooks," "Poodle Murphy," "Hand
some Frank" and the like, all of which aro
undoubtedly derived from some feat or
characteristic of the persons so culled.
Sometimes they do business nominally as
diamond merchants, commission mor
chants and us agents of one kind or an
other. The]/ sense of humor is probably
very highly developed, for they have been
known to send their circulars to very well
known men. Russell Harrison received
one of them last year, and he made an un
successful effort to have the sender run
down. I. I). MARSHALL.

I Strikes will be much discussed by
the table-knife grinders when they

very conservative man, when drastic

thinks the sessions will continue some

packages.
The International Machinists' union
goes to the world's fair city on Scptem

I zations, and its organization is due to
the fact, to quote General Secretary N.
Morse, "that the national organization

"We propose to go right along with

is how Grand Master Fred J. Anthony

"About July 18, 1801, at the New

shop employes and the master mechan
ic which led to a strike of every man,
although there was only one branch of
employes organized, which were tho
machinists, and only half of them be
longed to the union. On the morning
of the second day, those of the
machinists who did not belong to
the union began tullung of going
back to work, and when the other
employes who had no organization at
all to back them heard of it, there was
almost a stam

would sign it to ask for a charter and
a/freed to become a member of what
shall be known as the Railway Shop
Employes of America. Brother, I had
some difficulty at first to get signers to
this petition, but I was determined the
men should not be beaten if I could
help It, and that day fit noon 1 had
forty-five signers. I appointed the
next day for a meeting to organize
them. When the hour of meeting ar
rived there were mustered 19 out of
45 signers and they were organized.

Secret Thoughts.
I hold it true that thoughts are things
Endowed with bodies, breath and wings,
And that wo send them forth to All
Tho world with good results—or ill.
That which wo call our secret thought
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Liko tracks behind it as it goes.
It is God's law. Remember It
In your still chamber us you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have
known
And yet make comrades when alouo.
These thoughts have life, and thoy will fly
And leave their impress by and by,
Liko somo marsh breeze, whoso poisoned
breath
Breathes into homes its fevered breath.
And after you have quite forgot
Or all outgrown some vanished thought*
Back to your mind to iuako its home,
A dove or raven, it will come.
Then let your secret thoughts bo fair,
They have a vital part and share
In shaping worlds and molding fato—
God's system is so intricate,
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
The Keenest Grief.
The miser who finds his wealth is gone like a
shaken rose,
Tho mother who hears her son, her only son.
Is dead.
Each knows- each knows a grief, yet not so
durkly knows J
As tho wedded hand that finds the heart is
still unwed.
