Vory of a Sharp Game Played oa the Man Who Ran OS with 93,000,000 Persons charged with conspiracy must be prosecuted within eighteen months of the date of the alleged conspiracy in Illinois, or the statute of limitations protects them from prosecution. H. G.

Foil, an attorney of Herkimer, N. who has been In Chicago for a week, learned this fact in Consultation with Assistant State's Attorney Bottom. Folz desired that witnesses he permitted to go before the present grand Jury for the purpose of submitting evidence upon which to indict Henry W. Jfolan and James A. Brady, former law sartners, for "alleged conspiracy to defraud D.

D. Spencer, the one-time president of the old State Savings Bank, which he is charged with having looted of its $3,000,000 in 1678. Spencer fled at that time and went to Europe. He indicted, but kept out of the country for years but finally ventured hack and tetlled quietly on a farm near Herkimer, N. Y.

In relating the charge of conspiracy which be desires in-. vestignted. Attorney Fola says that one Stout, a well-known Iron work contractor, went to aee Spencer at hia home at Serklmer, N. and frightened him by alleging that the eld indictments found nst him bad been revived. It is claimed tistost represented himself as a United States officer.

While Spencer and his wife were debating about what they would do, it ia alleged that their son De Witt appeared with a letter claimed to have been written by the State's Attorney, saying that the prosecution would be dropped on payment of $40,000. This was agreed to by the Spencers, who turned over a farm valued at 25,000, paid 500 cash, and gave bonds for (19.500. The bonds were disposed of, and it is claimed that Bradv and Nolan received (5,000 as their fee. Spencer and his wife left for Europe again. All this is alleged to have occurred in Jan-nary, 1893.

Attorney Foil is very anxious to have not only Brady and Nolan but Stout and young Spencer indicted, but Assistant State's Attorney Bottum told him Jesterday he had come too late to secure in-ictmenta on the conspiracy charge. PAUL JONES ON HIS TRAVELS. STbe Boston Newspaper Man In Chicago with a Stock of Nerve. Paul Jones, the most original and unique globe-trotters, is now in Chicago. Starting from the Boston Press Club on Feb.

13 without a stitch of clothing, and as destitute of material wealth as the day he was horn, be proposed to make a trip around the world and earn (5,000 while doing so within one year from the time of starting. He already has accomplished about one-half of his task, having earned over (2,000 and created sucn public interest that the Test of bis trip will be comparatively plain jailing. He is stopping at the Palmer House, and ever since his arrival Friday has been hustling, making arrangements with the theaters, roof ear- dens, dry goods stores, and the Chicago Baseball Club to assist him in earning a large slice of bis necessary fo.uuu. He is also keeping his weather eye open for any Chicago heiress who mav desire to take the trip around the world with him, this being a part of his wager not generally men tioned. Mr.

Jones is a cultured gentleman, having been educated at Harvard, besides eing an experienced newspaper man. The fich fund of experience that he is gaining an the trip he intends to utilize on the lec ture platform, and has already booked number of date after his return to Boston adxt February. Becognizinar that his task is not an easv one, he takes advantage of every opportu nity ana never misses a chance to earn money. At present he has an advance agent, who is now at Milwaukee preparing jor ma appearence in mat city next week. rrom Milwaukee Mr.

Jones will go to Minneapolis, St Paul. Omaha, Kansas City, Penver, Ogden, and San Francisco, where wimm NIGHT Has a thousand eyes. The Inter Ocean readers have, all told, nearer a -million. Through these eyes shrewd advertisers can reach the understanding of "an army of substantial buyers. This done, if goods and prices arc right, you'll get (heir trade as sure as night follows DAY.

he will take a steamer for Australia early in October. The wager that Jones is trying to win is that he can trot around the rlobe, starting without a penny and neither beg, borrow, nor steal, yet make (5,000 and return to the Boston Press Club in the course of a year. In one of the rooms of the club he was stripped. Charging a amall admission fee to those who desired to aee him start, be soon had money enough to purchase material for a paper suit. Then bv charging admittance to hia room and selling autographs be got enough to start out Sines then he has hesitated to work at nothing and hia versa tility has been unparalleled in hia choice aistrioute bills, give private boxing exhibitions, sell hia own photographs? deliver lectures, saw wood on the stage of a theater, or clerk in a dry.

goods store.

TOO QUICK FOR THE HUMAN KTK. Professor Mollal Manipulates Cards with a Marvelous Dexterity. Wonderful and mysterious as Hermann is in his legerdemain and sleight-of-hand tricks, he now has a rival In at least one branch of his art who may be aaid to excel even his master cunning.

This is no other than Professor Molini, 23 years old, from Letnburg, Poland-Austria. In hia specialty, card tricks, he claims to -be able to excel all comers, and he ia well able to maintain nis pretensions. He received his early training from the eminent magician. Professor Roman, of Vienna, with whom he spent five vears. He also traveled with Professor Becker, of St Petersburg, before he eame to America, about five years ago.

Most of his time in this country haa been spent in New York, where he has appeared before all the large clubs and many private audiences. From his renowned masters he learned many of their tricks, but he developed, by his own inventions, the greatest and most marvelous card manipulations ever witnessed. In his hands a pack of cards become surcharged with mystery and deception. At a private performance yesterday he showed many examples of his magic. Five cards were chosen from a pack which be held in his hand, after being securely blindfolded.

These were then replaced in the deck and shuffled by one of the spectators, who put them noon the floor In three piles. The professor then took a pocxet knife and after being led to where the cards lay, scattered them with the knife and as each of the five cards were named picked them out on the knife's point His crowning trick, which he claims is entirely his own invention, excels that done with the knife. In it he allows every person in the audience to take a card from the pack, and while blindfolded will touch each person's hand and then draw the desired card from the pack. He even roes a step further, and any person may think of any card, which he produces as easily as the person thinks of it Professor Molini will remain in Chicago all winter and appear before private audiences and at club entertainments.

That tribunal I approach not in the spirit of the braggart, but modestly, confident of the merit of my cause and the unimpeachable character of my witnesses. Candidly, I admit that the nature of my propositions, on which predicate my right in equity to a favorable verdict, are so extraor- dinar as to excite an incredulity that can only be removed by indisputable testimony, and to invite criticism so exacting that to be turned to favorable account leaves me no alternative but to rest my plea on the sure foundation oi overwhelming evidence. The power that I possess is to me as much beyond the province of clear explanation as it is mysterious and Incomprehensible to my patrons. Whether it is spiritual, divinatory, or psychic, I leave wholly to those who experience and witness its amazing man ilea, tations. Whatever it is, it is my holy creed, and should I prostitute the strange gift to the uses of the mountebank, the act would be baser than the vilest profanation.

In its application to the secret affairs and hopes of those who choose to consult me, my pretensions are put to the severest tests conceivable, and both my duty to my fellows and the esteem in which I hold myself as an honest man are vitally involved. The effrontery of the charlatan would be rebuked in an attempt to lay bare the incidents of a past life or to unfold with the daring hand of prescience the unread volume of the waiting future. I approach, therefore, my task, ent and future of my patrons, awed and Humbled by tne strange power that is incomprehensibly mine and feeling that no commensurate with the enormity of my crime could be devised for its conscienceless abuse. My witnesses are those who have visited my rooms at 47 Park av. since my arrival In Chicago.

The same regard for their feelings that shall control me in my relations with those who will follow them prevents the mention of names, but, summoned as I feel myself before the bar of public opinion, I ture of doubt, that the most careless inquiry will develop that they are each and every one my eloquent witnesses when my pretensions, startling though they may be, are placed under the torch-: light of Investigation. My answers to questions involving affairs of tne neart, oi Busi ness, of domestic life of loved ones, absent or present, upon whom the heavy hand of affliction has fallen, and of all tne emotions of love, of hope, of fears that rise and fall in the human heart and that stamp their impress on human destiny are not a whit more startling than the medium through which I am enabled to diviue the unspoken, questions themselves. I have but to add, without boast, I hope that you will agree, that if you will visit my parlors and the consultation is not satisfactory in every particular no lee will be accepted. I will drive doubt from your mind and slay skepticism at first glance and you will join the growing army of my honorable and unimpeachable witnesses in this community, which is now arrayed to give volun tary testimony to the truth and extraordinary character of my claims on your regard and your confidence. Sincerely yours.
