AT THE OLD_RACKET, A Dealer in "Green Goods" Making His Headquarters in St. Paul, , And Sending* Out Seductive Circulars to the Aspiring Farmer. An Honest Lad Who Found and Raturned a Valuable Diamond. Divers Incidents and Sketches Picked Up on the Police Run. "Who is S. P. Parish?" The police don't know him— at least not by that name. He is not in the blue book, and so far as can be discovered, doesn't fig ure in church circles to any extent. The explanation is, of course, that Mr. Parish, which! receiving his mail as Mr. Parish, is not Mr. Par ish at all, but that nam e finds him as well as another at the address he gives, No. 15 East Seventh street. He's a good deal of a correspondent, this man Parish, and the following is a sam ple of the. letters he writes: , E. J. Stevens. Eric, Cass County, N. D.— Sir: Having heard ot yon as a shrewd busi ness man and a speculator. I take the liberty of addressing you in confidence with regard to a proposition I will make. I enclose a newspaper clipping clipped from the New York World, an account of the arrest and conviction of parties for counterfeiting paper money. By it you will see that the money was printed from genuine plates stolen from the treasury department. i have several thousand . dollars 1 worth of these bills in my possession. I am mix IOCS to leave this part of the coun try, and will sell the entire amount for 25 per cent of face value. Detection is absolutely impossible, because, as shown, the money is genuine, except that it lacks government sanction. I enclose sample bills for $1 and $5, also my address. I need not impress on you that this communication is strictly confidential. Yours for business, 13. i). Pauish. The address is enclosed on a slip of iper: « * s. d. parish, : : C | o Saloon No. 15, : (•:. 7th St., St. Paul. : » * The address given is John B. Pewters' place on East Seventh street. A Globe. representative called on Mr. Pewters' last night. That gentleman denies all knowledge of Mr. Parish, but states that several men have been receiving mail there, most of it coming fn care of a man named Bush, whom Pewters says he has known for four years, yet doesn't know his first name nor his occupation. It-is a common theme for transients in a city to have their mail addressed to the saloons they frequent, and no particular significance attaches to the fact that Mr. Parish, or any one of the several dozen men he claims to rep resent get mail addressed to them there. The only man. Pewters claims, who has received mail at his place in the past few weeks is the man Bush, and this same individual may have access to the mail of Mr. Par ish or any of the syndicate of men whose mail he receives. The fellows in the "green goods" business. are a downy lot, and the particular star now working .the! Dakotas and Minnesota from St. Paul is no exception. .-That ho is doing a land office business among those verdant enough to rise to so stale a bait, is evident from the extent of the correspondence he carries on.. It is needless to say that the sample bills sent Mr. Stowers, of North Dakota, were genuine greenbacks. Mffßß The Lad Was Honest. "If you please, sir, I found a diamond pin," said a breathless youngster about nine years old, rushing into the central police station last night. Lieut. Schweitzer smiled at the child's exclamation for diamond pins are not found on every street corner, but he took the trinket from the out stretched hand of the child, and saw at once that there was no mis take about the genuineness of the stones that glittered all over it. As the officer held the spark ling bauble in his hand, the eager baby face of the finder gazed up at him as though in fear that he had slnn ed even in finding so valuable an orna ment. "Where, did you find this?" asked the lieutenant. "Please, sir. 1 found it down at the corner of Seventh street an' Wabasha street, an' so 1 fetched it right up here." "Why did you bring it up here?" asked the lieutenant. "Please.sir." and the child drew him self up to his full height, "please, sir, my mother told me to be honest, an' never steal nothin', and so I fetched it up here, sir." Lieut. Schweitzer told the little lad to go home, keep on being a good boy and he would be a big man some day. "What's your name?" he called as the kid disappeared th rough. station door. "Jimmy Cunningham,' sir, and I live upon West Ninth street, No. 194." The diamond pin is worth about 8200. Its shape is that of a threee-leafed clover, the leaves edged with small diamonds and three large ones set in the center. If the owner doesn't remember little Jimmy Cunningham when she claims her property, it will almost seem as though the old proverb about honesty had lost its worth." WAS A PERFECT LADY. A Scene of Many in the Police Court Yesterday, f^fflj There was a circus in Judge Twohy's Court yesterday morning. Among the grist of the sinners of the night before to be summoned before the august pres ence was Minnie Gray, a more than usually good looking octoroon maiden. Minnie is a waitress at a ranch kept by Minnie Dillon on South Washington street. The place is one frequented by ladies of easy repute and sable color, and cream-colored Miss Gray had been having trouble with another inmate of the place named Milly Foster. "Its disyer way yo honah." began Miss Foster. "Dese yer gals was a frooin' eggs at one \jmther 'crust the breakfast . table. An Miss Dillon, she's a perfect lady, Miss Dillon is, an'shesey,seyshe: 'See heah, you d— n dirty black wenches ' " Judge Twohy expressed no opinion as to the lady-like language of the Dil lon, but required Misses Foster, and Gray to furnish bonds to keep the peace. The case of Otto Friend for forgery was continued to Sept. 1. Messrs. Mc- Mahon and Beck, two jolly old bums, went to the farm on* a vacation for a month. "Specky" White, an oid crook, arrested by Detectives Kenaley and Daly for vagrancy. was discharged. He is said to have been the accomplice of Coughman and Shodic, the two night workers held to the grand jury this week, but there is no evidence on which to hold him. David Hoar, the same disreputable, drunken old David, got ninety days and said "thank you" for it. Bridget Conway, who in point of disreputability would make a good trotting mate for Dave, got thirty days in the knitting room. John Hnglial leii and Herman Mills were drunk and disorderly on Friday night, went out for ten daysapiece,and William Bergon, a plain and melancholy drunk, wined away a tear as he heard a similar date made for him. Two Boys Missing. Otto Wood, of 241 Page street, and Willie Marck, of 297 Robertson street,^ on the West side, are missing, and their respective parents believe they have run away together. Wood is 16 years .' old and 'Marck fifteen, and both were em ployed ': as press boys at .- Brown \ & Treacy'3. ? They, could not ; have, had ■ more than $10 cash,, and it :is believed ? they ; have gone to Milwaukee. '-; The : _ police of that city have been notified. ? A Police Character. "What, again," said the police" captain, as old John Gorman came marching . into the central station ; last :' night in charge of an 'offi cer. John - Gorman, "The Cobbler Poet" drunk as ever and glad of it to ail appearance." "The Cobbler" has been run in to central for being drunk? more times than lie has fingers ■ and toes, and he is ; just about as i strange a character as any of the queer ones who come under the category of "known to the police." Here is a man who can recite by the hour from all the great English and American poets. knows the dialogue of "Richard the Third" from beginning to ' end, speaks three or four languages and .quotes Schopenhauer for his philosophy. Yet he is down on the police records as a worthless drunkard and bum. Gorman will get ninety days on Monday morn ing, but that will not work reformation, he is too far another of those whose self-respect has been killed by com juice. Got a Free Ride. - A sorrel-topped sinner of . Swedish origin, who gave his name at Margaret street station as August Freeman, was arrested yesterday on a charge .of ;..; larceny. . Mr. Freeman had been drinking "one glass beer in Henry Viches' saloon, in the Wagner block, and the bartender, misled by the facial expression of the blonde gentle man, went to the door tor • a breath of fresh air, and left him in. the saloon reading the "Skaf faren." When .he turned round the ingenuous party was busily engaged in going through the till. There was a yell, a chase in which Officer Lynch took a hand, and in a few minutes a Swedish tourist might have been seen . riding up Seventh at the expense of the city. Cooling His Heels. Gottlieb Hogle, of West St. Paul, re sides at the corner of Water and Bob-' ertson streets, near the river, in a house owned by John B. Duford. Mr. Hogle is kicking against J The bars at the Ducas street po lice station • ju»t now, and to-morrow 'morning will have to answer to a charge of "being disorderly. It seems that Duford went to collect rent of Ho?Ie on Saturday afternoon, and that the latter made Rome howl in the vehemence of his refusal to put up. Du ford swore out a warrant for Hogle's ar rest, and that gentleman was promptly landed in the station by Officer Oldham. — ■ — man LIONIZED BY CKESSOXXAXS. The Presidential Family . Sans Head Comfortably Domiciled. Cresson, Pa., Au^. 30.— The presi dential family, exclusive of its head, is now permanently domiciled in their pretty cottage at Cresson. The first .night was . delightfully cool, and fires were comfortable. The members of the family breakfasted early in the private dining room, of the Mountain house set apart for their con venience, and spent the entire morning out :of doors. Just before dinner they gathered in the big , reception room of the hotel and met in an informal 'manner the guests of the house. Mrs. Harrison is already an es tablished favorite here. The entire party witnessed a base ball game this afternoon. G. W. Boyd chaperoned the party and explained the points of the game. Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee have expressed themselqes as delighted with Cresson and say it is the most de lightful spot in America. To-night the family attended the children's dance and held an informal reception. No cer emony was observed. It is expected that the president will arrive about the mid dle of the week, and remain some time. Every arrangement has been made for the transfer of the executive office from the White house' here, and when the president comes he will find private wires from his library here to the ex ecutive mansion at Washington, so that the business of the country can be trans acted as if he were at Washington. -•- CUPID IS TO BE SNUBBED. Sprigs of Royalty to Wed Simply for Political Effect. Vikxxa, Aug, 30.— From Southeast ern Europe conies the news of an Inter esting royal romance. The , prince royal of Roumania is in ' a fair way to be befhrothed to a Bavarian princess, Elizabeth, the favorite grand-daughter of the Austrian emperor. Politically it would be a splendid ■match for the ruling house of Koumania, which kingdom is al ready united to Austria by the ties of a secret alliance against Rus sia. But the prince, a handsome fellow of twenty-five, is already deeply at l ached to the daughter of Col. Mouva roff, a brave and honored soldier in his father's army, and has even gone so far as to threaten to resign .his regal inheritance in order to marry the woman of his choice. Such a step would be a crushing blow to the Roumanian king, Charles, and he has spared no effort to prevent it from being taken. As in this lie has the loyal support of the girl's father he. has so far been successful, and at present the young woman is believed to be detained in a Bulgarian convent, while King Charles is paying court in behalf of his son to the" Prin cess Elizabeth and her imperial grand father, whose consent is more important than that of the princess. • *m Chicago Carpenters to Strike. CHICAGO, Aug. 30.— That there will be a general strike of union carpenters Monday is now considered a foregone conclusion, and the leaders are. pre-, paring for it.

Plans for the Entrance of Russia Into the European Entente. Measures Looking" to Inter national Repression of An archists and Nihilists. A Reconciliation Between Bis marck and the Kaiser Is Almost Effected. Berlin; Aug.' 30.— progress of "the negotiations for the entrance of : Russia into the European entente is in dicated by the arrangements for the, autumn- meetings of the , sovereigns Emperor William's conference with the ! emperor of Austria is fixed for Sept. 14,. during the manoenvers in Silesia. " The czar will arrive at Fredensborg Sept. 20. He .:."■ will stay there until the end "of the month, and will come to Berlin on Oct.. 2.' r Emperor . William and ' the king of Saxony will be received by the emperor of Austria at Vienna, and they will go on a shooting expeditiou to the Styrian Alps. The projected interview be tween Emperor William, the czar and Emperor Francis Joseph depends large ly upon the Austrian government's 1 ac ceptance of the terms on .which; Em peror William proposes a revision of the Berlin treaty. The opinion of .the. foreign office officials here continues hopeful of at definite' solution of the Balkan troubles before -the end of the year. -:i It is probable that a congress of - the powers will be held : " early in the spring. The czar has sent the: Grand • Duke Michael, .president of the Russian council, on a special mission to Paris to reassure the French government. The Moscow Gazette seeks to calm the fears expressed ?by the French press in regard to the deser tion of France by Russia by declaring that the czar's persistent aim is to main tain ?-^B^fMH The Balance of Power, recognizing the fact that Russia and France have common interests and united responsibilities. France ought, therefore,-- concludes the Gazette, to remain absolutely tranquil. The report that Chancel lor. yon Caprivi obtained a promise from M. de Giers to abate the frontier tariff was baseless. The question was not mooted at the conference. A ukase issued to-day at St. Petersburg raises the cus toms duties generally 20 per cent. The fact that coffee, cocoa, tea, sugar and coal imported through , the western frontier and Baltic ports are exempted from the rise gives a sem blance of confirmation to the report, but practically the ukase does not alter the restrictions of the trade with Germany. The object of the ukase is declared" to be to make duties levied in gold correspond with the altered rate of exchange. It is further an nounced that the ukase precedes a general revision of the tariff. Promi nent among the measures agreed upon by M. de Giers and Chancellor yon Ca privi will be found one looking to inter national repression of the anarchists and nihilists, the czar desiring European concert on this mat ter. The riotous meeting of the social ists at Friedsrichara has given the gov ernment a pretext for ordering special military precautions against greater disorders. The Guards corps form ing?- the usual garrison here is going to the manuvers, leaving only a small detachment in charge of the depots. An infantry brigade of the Brandenburg corps will replace the guards. The tumult at Friedrichshanf arose from an abusive attack made by Herr Will upon Heir Bebel. An im mense majority of those present at the meeting voted confidence in the party's deputies in the reichstag. In the row subsequent to the meeting, the Mob Assailed the Police with stones. The police charged the crowd with drawn sobers. The social ist press complains bitterly of the dis grace to the party arising from the obstructive rowdyism of the new section. The Catholic con gress at Coblentz is holding a three days' session. Six thousand persons are in attendance. The congress de mands the re-establishment in Germany ot all the Catholic orders, including the Jesuits, and the restoration of the pope's temporal power. It also asks for a government subversion for Catho lic missions in German-Africa. Thanks were voted to Emperor William for his attempts to establish social peace. The next congress will be held at Ratisbon. A farewell dinner was given last night to the New York riflemen who are visiting Germany. The banquet was held in the senators' room of the Bremen Rathskeller. Pres ident Hanschild, of the Bremen Rifle association, toasted the guests. Mr. Sieburg, in reply, dilated upon their pleasant sojourn in Germany, and ; the comrade-like cordiality displayed by the . Bremen riflemen. lie said he was especially grateful for the honorary membership in the Bremeu corps conferred upon him by order of the Bremen Rifle association. At 7 o'clock in the morning a bind played before the Central hotel, while the New- Yorkers ate their breakfast on the ter race. At 8:30 the Americans, pro ceeded in full uniform, carrying ban ners aDd led by a band, to the railway station, where parting orations were de li vered. A large crowd was pres ent, The New Yorkers took a special train to Bremerhaven, where a recep tion was given them by four rifle asso ciations. The bands of the marine ar tillery :'~ii3HIBKHBHBQ Played the American Anthem. Alter the presidents of the rifle clubs had delivered farewell speeches, the Americans marched ;to ? the quay and, boarding a special tender, proceeded to" the Fulda, which was Tying in the roadstead. Capt. Siebujg addressed the Weser riflemen from the deck of the Fulda, and there were pro longed adieux as the vessel sped away. Both Emperor Francis Joseph aud the ? regent- of Bavaria are mediating between Emperor Will iam and Prince , Bismarck, and a reconciliation is? almost effected. The ninetieth birthday of Gen. Yon Moltke will be observed by the pres entation to him of a collective address from all the towns in Germany and by the gift of a house at ParchinvMeklen burg, where he was r born. Emperor William will go in person to offer his j congratulations. Alive and His Neck Broken. Sedalia, Mo., Aug. 30.— F. J.
