The feature of particular interest in the bill of com- int against the trust is the allegation regarding its chase of Mr. Schwab's Bethlehem Steel Com- y. Mr, Schwab is said to have purchased the pliant one year before its acquisition by the shipbuilding company for a payment of $3,000,000 above the mortgage of $9,000,000. Its value was thus $12,000,000 at most. But the chasge is made that the trust took it over for | Mecaly in bouds and stocks, That {s to say, the Shipping Trust securities representing this plant were at the moment of issue worth hardly 30 cents on the dollar of their face value! | The application for receivership will be argued before Jdge Kirkpatrick on Monday. It will be worth the ie of every reader to follow the court proceedings fully for his Interest and profit and to “enroll them for hls perpetual memory.” High Finance is a echool in which there are few text-books procurable. But the courts furnish a course of Instruction of which those who are wise should avail themselves. Sina & CITY COLLEGE GRADUATES. trne College of the City of New York graduates only 199 students as against Columbia's four times as many, yet the list of names of those who have finished their corse at the plain red brick buildings in Twenty-third sthet is suggestive of a pride in American educational sytem no iess earnest than that Inspired by a rich and celébrated university. For on this list, from Altschul and Applebaum thfough Keminsky and Sunigelsky to Wilensky and Wiftstein tiere is so great a predominance of foreign names that hardly 10 per cent. are the sons of native- both New Yorkers, Into the educational hopper here much of the rawest of raw material goos to emerge in time a finished product of excellence. These ohildren of foreign parentage seize upon opportunities for education Which the native born neglect; centuries of oppression have not killed their aspiration for the knowledge which within a few years after its acquisition is to enable them to push to the front In business, in the law and in "the allied professions. ~. The Colloge of the City of New York has furnished the eaven for c largo lump of acute intelligence. { MILLER’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY. The autobiography of a swindler as related by W. F. Miller, of Franklin syndicate notoriety, in Mts full de- tails makes reading matter of exceptional interest for all who are looking about for a “sure thing’’ which will en- able them to double their small income or expand a Bpoderate fortune into one of large proportions. Miller guaranteed to do this for any one who applied with any ainount of cash, large or smail, and the story of how he did not do it should be pondered by the prospective dupes of other “get-rich-quick” swindlers who are yet to flourish, | When -Miller began to distribute his alluring Ittera- fare) containing prodigal promises of wealth obtainable from his ‘‘great inside information on stocks and wheat” his entire personal investment in the “market” had netted him less than $200, and he had no “inside infor- Jation” whatsoever. A boarding-house bedroom was ‘Mis first office. He could not afford a clerk, but within a few ‘months the volume of his business had increased 80 greatly that he employed thirty clerks who “had scarcely time to count the money that came rolling in so fast.” . From this stream of cash a small rivulet was diverted *to pay the 10 per cent. a week promised and to lure on ‘other victims. During’the time the business was thus expanding and the early investors were Pluming them- Sélves on the “good thing” that had come to them Miller was not making a dollar by legitimate speculation! A public service would be performed if the steno- Braphic report of Miller's testimony of his swindling methods could be distributed in pamphlet form for the Profitable warning of the credulous. New swindlere of the Miller order. will arise; thetr crop {s unlimited. But their methods will be much the same and an understand- ing of them will serve the excellent purpose of putting the public un its guard against simflar deception. TESTIMONY OF THE EYE. To this ata has it come at last in local Courts that in one, ‘der Stanton’s, in Hoboken, the testimony of a parrot was accepted by the Judge as relevant and credible, while in Magistrate Crane's the testimony of a woman as to the {dentity of a prisoner ‘was thrown out as incompetent. The parrot’s word ot Mouth decided the Court to hold a prisoner on a charge of larceny, while Mra, Fromia’s positive fentification of an Innocent lad as guilty of stealing her chatelaine bag led the Magistrate to say: “I sald the other day that I mever saw 4 woman who could {dentify any one or any- thing, and this proves it.” Is this weakness or confusion of the eye's memory exclusively a feminine failing? Probably ‘there {s no Gther of the five senses that so habitually deceives man as his eyesight. It 1s treacherous in the extreme. ‘The more positive he !s about a sight he has seen the “More is he open to refutation. Few men know how to ‘pee; their eyes fail to retain a correct dempression of ob- _ feets or persons even when the gaze has been fixed and At is the penalty of a careleseness which a few min- “Mies of daily attention In childhood would correct. itone.’””—Next week's Evening World is a story by Sir A.

OW, this Js the true and utter!y pathetic account of the tot i and fa! of that human storm centre, Ignacio Boooadeleone Palitzka, popularly known (in the office ‘where for eight hours daily his shrill treble tore the air) as Fogarty. For months Fogarty, the diminutive, the belligerent, had ruled the realm of office boys. His piercing falsetto had heaped contumely upon them, arid, at the first slgn of re- prisals from bigger boys a raucous screech for ald would usually bring one of the grown-ups to his rescues, Great was Fogarty. One morning a new office boy reported for work. At a glance one could see he was unused to the rough ways of his fellow-totlers. He had all the hallmarks of the ‘‘ralsed-ty- hand” youngster; spoke in a soft, respectful voice with the intonation of refinement, wore a neat now sult of gray ® | knickerbockers, with a flowing bow-tle (one could almost see @ | his mother’s loving hands tying it), and he seemed homesick and chilly, as though it were his first plunge into @ cold and! mamma-leas universe. The men looked pityingly and in friendly fashion at the lonely, well-dressed child. But the office boys eyed bim doubtfully. All but Fogarty. When Fogarty arrived at the office he “took in" every detafl of the newcomer's appear- ance with one look. Then his diminutive form writhed and squirmed with unholy joy as he waved back the other boys. “He's mine! squealed Fogarty. “Oh, leave ‘im to me. Only jes’ LEAVE ‘im to me. Gee, but It's vetternadogfight!”* ‘He swaggered past the little stranger, who, by the way, was half @ head shorter than even Fogarty. Work was sus- pended. Everybody was looking. As he pased, Fogarty “giv ‘tm de elbow." The newcomer stepped back politely. “I beg your pardon,” he eaid. “Wha-tt?"" squeaked Fogarty bellixerently. “I beg your pardon for getting in your way," repeated the new boy tremulously. “It mas very awkward of me.” “Ah, g’wan!" falsettoed Fogarty, emboMened by the gaze of the multitude. “Who tied dat dinky bow on youse?"’ he went on, eying the newcomer's pretty cravat with stern dls- favor. “Looks like a stogie label.” ‘My mother tied it,” answered the other, emiling con- ctatingty. “Well, it's tled bum. Geet’ and with a single Jerk Fogarty pulled loose the silken ends and cast the tle to the floor. “I'm sorry you don't like {t,"" replied the boy gently; “she id her best to make me look neat,” “She did, eh?” squealed Fogarty. “Well, she won't know her neat che4ld when you shassays back ter de ol’ farm to- night. She'll t'ink mamma's boy's been bit by a hewgag. Ab, quit tookin’ so refined, can't yer?" © To enforce his request he smote the Jad's pink cheek with the type of swat he usually characterized as a swipe in de map. A light, but singularly Irritating ijlow. “Heres one fer de odder cheek,” he falsettoed truculentty. SMASH! Fogarty sailed through the alr for a yard or #0, struck the wall against the file rack and caromed to earth, with twenty-five newspapers on top of him, burying his dis- credited carcass a foot deep in their pitying folds. Above him, calm, cold, deadly and ever on gyard, stood the new boy, waiting for hin victim to rise before adminis. tering a second blow. Amid a deathly allence a small and simian face, bleeding and tearful, slowly emerged from the enghrouding pall of newspapers, and a treble shriek rent the skies: “Yer a great hulkin’ bully to go pickin’ on @ poor little feller lice me what's got his livin’ to make!" wailed Fogarty. And amid the how! of laughter and applause that arose the empire and dynasty of Ignacio Boccadeleone Palituka, allas Fogarty, crumbled forever to dust. A. P. T.
