FIEGEL, Notary Pubiie, New York County, i (My commission expires March 80, 1918.) NO. 18,676 VOLUME 53... A QUARTER OF A CENTURY. THE EVENING WORLD.......FOUNDED OCTOBER 10, 1887. WENTY-FIVE YPARS ago to-day The Evening World printed the following, its first editorial: THE EVENING WORLD. Truthfulness in all things; Independence of all parties, influences and personal interests; Fearlessness in the exposure of abuses; Sym- pathy with the weak and oppressed; Constancy in demanding equal justice for all—these are some of the landmarks of The Evening World, It will seek to be bright, newsy and attractive, and to be- come a welcome visitor at the fireside, In all this we shall supplement the work of The World, which has so well redeemed its promise “to expose all fraud and sham, to fight all public evils and abuses and to serve and battle for the people with earnest sincerity." We shall not confine ourselves to the pre- sentation of the news—the very latest, the most interesting and the cleanest news of the day. We shall strive to render public ser- vice by supporting Justice, Humanity and Reform, and opposing monopolies, corruption and the abuses of corporations and our growing plutocracy. The City of New York spends over $40,000,000 a year. This is about $110,000 per day. A government of such enor- mous expenditures demands the constant watchfulness of a vigilant press to insure honest and faithful administration. The same brain which has directed the enterprise of The World for nearly five years past, the same heart which has shaped its sympathies, the same principles which have guided its course, will control The Evening World. Hence the people of New York know Just what the character of the new paper is which is offered for their evening reading. Its future is confidently submitted to thelr hands. For twenty-five years the people of New York have piled proof upon proof of esteem and friendliness for the newspaper thus given into their keeping., During the first three months of its existence the average daily circulation of The Evening World was 74,000. To- @ay that circulation exceeds 400,000. Its readers number a million and a half. To-day, therefore, this newspaper asks no more than proudly to renew its pledge made a quarter of a century ago to the public that has so generously trusted it. The great brain which for twenty-four years directed its policy and enterprise, whose ideals from the first moment inspired and shaped its course, is forever withdrawn. But The Evening World dedicates itself anew to the sacred duty of carrying fearlessly and tirelessly forward the task from which its founder never turned or faltered—to watch over and further the happiness and well-being of the people to whom by right of solemn declaration and heroic sacrifice the institutions and liberties of this city and country ehall for all time descend.

Aulick,) NO. 20—“FAKE RACING INFORMATION.” AKING a chance with other people's money—"O, P. M.” the “educated” Players call it-is an always favorite profession of a certain type of sleek sharpers who scorn the coin of the “country Jake” and hold that the wise inhabitants of the big cities are the easiest marks in | the world. Any one with the price of a month's officegrent and a few dollars for advertising expenses may start the game going. Sometimes even office rent is unnecessary. The first thing the prospective get-rich-quick man does is to arrange with the keeper of a little cigar store tn a populous neighborhood to receive any letters that may come addressed to any one of a dozen names he files, Then Mr. Smooth inserts an “ad” in the sporting papers reading something as | follows: | FREE—Telegraph me your name and address and I will eend you, absolutely free, « winner at (whatever track 1s running at the SOHN SMITH, 20176 oth New York City. You would think that an announcement of this sort would carry with ft |unmistakably the evidence of its own falsity. In the first place, the word | “free” should engender immediate suspicion. No one gets something for noth: ing. Then, the very next word, “telegraph.” Why telegraph? Why not writ | Simply because the Government of the United States refuses to deliver mail | to race horse tipsters of this class, taking their dishonesty for granted. And why should John Smith be willing to benefit total strangers by giving them | valuable information and asking no reward? | And yet John Smith's stack of answering telegrame is enormous, the spectacle being of the sort which gave rise to the commentary “What fools t mortals be!” Mr. Smith may get, let wu , 200 names from one “ad.” ‘These he will separate into ten ptles of twenty each, putting each of the piles in a separate envelope, one headed “Lucky Uncle Ai,” another “Big Steve from a third “Marty the Wildcat,” and so on. Then he takes the “Lucky Uncle Al" envelope and to each of the twenty he writes, saying he is to be addressed in that style and that “John Smith" was merely an assumed name. To twenty more he writes a similar letter, signing himself “Big Steve,” and 80 on down the line, He promises to wire the winner on the following day and asks no fee. All he asks is that the recipient bet $5 for him and forwaré hy express the winnings, Next day, after all the answers to the “ad” are in and all the answerera notified to watch for a telegram, the crook takes eat early start at the entries. He selects a race which looks most “open”—that is, in which there should be no overwhelming favorite, If he can get @ tw year-old race or a race of “maidens"—horses never having won a race—of | about ten entries, he goes to work. He takes the horse “Hickory Jim” and | sends to each of the twenty men he has written to as “Lucky Uncle Al:” | “Hickory Jim across the board. He absolutely cannot lose. (Signed) “Lucky Uncle Al.” Then he signs twenty telegrams “Big Steve” and advises the same play on “Fast Dye,” and so on throughout the list of ten horses to each of the ten lots of twenty auckers each, Suppose the race to result “Wagon Wheel" first, 10 to 1 to win, 4 to 1 place, 2 to 1 show; “Allah” second, 4 to 1 win, $ to & place, 8 to 5 show, and Hickory Jim third, 5 to 1 to win, 2 to 1 place, even money show. There is a fine profit for the swindler. There would be a fine profit for him no matter how the race resulted. Now see what has happened: Twenty telegrams were sent advising in the strongest terms a play on on Wheel cross the boa: that {s, straight, place and show, and “Honest Hank Elwood." Every man, then, who bet on 10 to 1 for his straight money, and would naturally re- ward “Honest Hank.” The horse “Allah” was sent to twenty more by “Fred another alias for the grafter, and all these twenty men won sub- they got 8 to 6 place and 3 to 5 third, which would more than place los The “Hickory Jim" players could easily have come out ahead, as they got even money third. So the crook has material for a good next da He may take @ big display in the name of “Honest Hank Elwood," the fact that he gave “Wagon Wh be enterprising, reproducing in his sent to his “clients. He will send another winner two days later, on receipt of $10 in advance, He 1s changing his tactics, you observe. Of course, his original twenty will come in for $10 apiece, and the imposing “ad” should bring in scores more. Then he starts guessing, falling back on his aliases to minimize the chanc | of loss, getting in all the eash he can, lying deliberately in his “ads, looking datly for a new crop of suckers, and finally “going out of business,” to bob up again in a short time under @ new name, and defraud, often, the very same people who earlier were victimized by his glittering misrepresentations. Every now and then he “goes away” for awhile (the technical term for # sojourn in prison), but there is always some one to take his place at the in- terminable game of fleecing the man who expects to get rich without working for the riches, and, if he @ fac simile copy of the telegram he 1 What Our Parents Paid to Be Amused And the Prices Their Enter:ainers Received, By Robert Grau. i | of. - of N the period from 1860 to 188% the pub- Junction with the Boston Symphony On | He of all large cities, such as New!chestra at practically the same ecat York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chi- cago, paid approximately the samo prices for its theatricals and other scale.

In the strictly higher-priced theatres $1.50 was the outside figure for seats, but the great majority of the seating capacity was held at this price, while for the family circle or gallery 0 cents was the standard admission acale. In vaudeville houses (or “variety the- atres") the few then in existence often charged higher prices than the highest to-day prevailing. For grand opera and high-class musical events, $3 for the best seats was not regarded as exorbitant, although more than one star of the first magnitude was rarely heard in a | performance. ‘This does not indicate that operagoers who heard Nilsson, Lucca, Wachtel or organization singing in English; and this Blorious attraction packed the theatres and halls from floor to roof. Yet Kellogg received as her salary the sum of $960 & week—about one-third of what was la allotted to a Sembrich or @ Geral- dine Farrar for one performance; while such stars as Melba and Tetrazzini have recelved for one performance to-day as much as Kellogg sometimes did, forty years ago, for six weeks, Adelina Pattl, it 1s true, at all periods in her long and unexampled career, re- celved by far the largest honorarium of any singer In the world, At no time did she obtain less than $4,000 @ night, while on her last tour, when her wonderful Volce was waning, she was paid $5,000 a e W.
