They're Tlrod of Paying tho Lonns on Stolen Jowols. A 911t000 Memorandum Sato Which Started a Trade Commotion. Between tho memornndnm salo system oforcditiu voguo in tho Jewelry and diamond district and tho always open pawn-brokers' shops, whero thlovcs, dishonost clerks and knavish customers find a rendy market for thoir ilt-gotton gains, tho men whoso fortunes aro ongagod In the jowolry business and tho diamond trado aro in much trouble There is at presont an effort being made among tho Jowollers to combino in self, defense. Tho recent operations of Emannol Bond, heim and Boigfrled Slttner, whereby dozon firms lost upward of $20,000 worth of valuables, has aroused tho dealers to angor.

Sondhoim and Sittnor aro mere boys, almost beardless. Thoy were omployod as clerks till they hod Jearnod tbo ways of tho Lane," and then they set out on thoir own hook. Young Blttner bad beon employed by Iloinrioh, tho maker of chronometers at 14 John street up to lest June. Tbon ho began a trado for bimsolf, tho memorandum system affording him amplo opportunity to do business on a largo scale. The Jewellors' Board of Trado and the New York Jewellors' Association aro alert in tho interests of tho trado, and thoir books, open for consultation to mombors, contain de-sciptious of each dealer, largo or small.

On tho books of the lattor Hittncr was registered as withont capital without propprty. Tho only thing to bo said in his favor is that ho is honest." Up to ono dsyin September last ho was honost, apparently. Then ho visited a num. ber of dealers in jewelry and diamonds, and on ono oranother pretoxt obtained possession of over 412,000 worth of goods "on memorandum." The conditions attached to such a deal ostitis aro that tbo goods are Bent for oxamina-tlou only and aro to bo returned on demand. Ncitber the goods nor their vslne returned In this cao, and tho joweller bad tbo voung man orrcstod.

He had pawn tickots for tho goods on his person and tho goods were all found in the Uowory pawnshops and delivered into tbo custody of Property Clerk Harriott atl'olicellradiiuarters. Blttner was arraigned before Recorder Smyth, pleaded guilty to grand larceny and was sent to tho Elmlrn Reformatory. When tho jewellers would havo claimod and resumed iKnsesslon ot their property, thoy found that tbo pawnbrokers had ob. tained in tho Ninth District Civil Court a writ of replevin for tbo goods, claiming tbem as thoir own. and a City Marshal had taken possession of thoir goods.

Then it was discovered that a law which had been intendod (or thoir protection in just such coseB had been repealed silently in lttSfi, This law provided that whon any person should make oath before a jnstico that his property had beon stolen or 'embezzled, and that ho believed it to bo pledged with a jwvwn-broker, a search warrant should bo issued to an officer! and if the property bo found, it should be brought into Court, where tho owner might regain possession of it by executing a bond, penal in a sum equal to double tho valuo of tho property claimed, to tho person from whose possession the goods were seized. It is probable now a meeting of jewellors will bo held shortly to nppolut a committeo to draft a law covering the point. Speaking of tho situation. Simon Stem said; "Tho facilities offered by tho pawnshops to clerks, small dealers, thloves and confidential agents tor the disposal of stolen jewels form a constant temptation to them to bo dishonest. Tho pawnbroker is always safe.

He receives a paper of loose diamonds from a thief, or a mere boy, and who can provo that he knew they were stolen? It is true that dealers who aro pressed for ready money take their diamonds to tho pawnshop. But thoy get 75 por cent of their valno on loan. Tho thief Is a different trader. Ho will take, one-fourth yes, one-tonth of the valnR of the goods. The thing for us to do in together evidence, enough to convict one of these pawnbrokers for receiving our s'olen goods, knowing thorn to bo stolen.

Then ttie pawnbrokers will bo more careful. Dealers robbed too often pay tho demands of the pawnbrokers as the rnsteit and cheapest wov of revaluing their property. Iiet them fight the men of the three golden balls and force them every time to give up tbo stolen property, and that would make them more careful." There are forty.four of the largest jew-olry houses in Now York in tho Association," snld Secretary E. A. Pritchurd 1 to nn Evenino Woni.n reporter, and I tell you thero are ninny moro cases of the Blttner variety of swindlers than ever como to the ears of tho public Tho dealers would rather pay the amount ot the pawnbroker'!) loan and ins interest man ngni." Vice-President Alfred H.

Smith, of tho Association, said "I can't suggest a remedy, except moro alertness on tho part of dealers, and moro vigor on prosecuting receivers as well as thieves." E. A. Thrall, ot 3 Maiden lnne, said: There is no mistake in saving that we aro practically at the mercy of tho pawnbrokers, and I am in favor of taking a firm stand egainst them. They know that thoy can safely roly on a jowollcr's payiug tho trivial loan which thoy make on tho jowols stolon from him. bocause that is cheaper than to go to law to recover tho goods.

So long as jewellors thus condono tins variety of lar. ceny, so long clerks anil customers will bo dishonest, for their fcuco is alwnys open." WORLDLINGS. Frank Howard, who wroto "Only a Tansy DloHHoni," received an income of moro than $3,000 from it In a singlo year, Howard is tho son of an Iowa clergyman and ran away from homo when a boy. Ho was Ringing in tho streets of a western city when Milton Barlow, tho minstrel manager, was attracted by his voice and put him on tho stage.

KTEBEST, INSTRUCTION AND PB0F1T FOUND IN THE WOK. Tho Collector Are of All Hon and Aes( and Ike Mania br tin Mean Die Avray Ilnnr Dollar of 'llflrrne In Trier niade by Hllht Tnrlntlon In Detail In Ilia Printed Hlnmp. Tho business of stamp-collecting is more extenslvo than over," said a dealer engaged in the business to an Evenino WoBLPro. porter a tow afternoons ago, Tho collecting oi postage stamps used to used to bo lookod upon as more child's play, but I'll toll yon that if you wero to hear me mention tho names ot somo of New York's philatelio enthusiasts you would bo greatly surprisod. "I havo cnslomors from nil 'classes and conditions in life, from small boys of seven years to old men of seventy.

In fact, our best bnslnoss is dono with tho older people. "My best customers include lawyers, doctors, bank presidents, retired merchants and, in fact, people in all bronchos of business. I have several lawyers who spend at least 950 perweok for stamps. Tho doctors, tho somo way, seem to tnko extraordinary Interest in the instructive pastimo and invest liborally. "Ono customer, a merchant, has an income of about 810,000 per year, and ho spends at least $4,000 of it for postage stamps.

Collectors may havo no idea of spending any money, but merely como In to look at somo gom. After they tolk awhile they sco something thoy would like to have, get cnthnsiastio over It, and finally make a purchase Pooplo don't throw their money away, cither, when thoy buy. and to prove this. I will mention nn Incident that happened last week. Oun of my regular customers came in and purohascd a stamp for $200.

no loft, and a hnlf hour attcrwnrd ho was offered $250 for it; but ho doolined tho offer, and said that ho wouldn't part with it for $300. This goes to show that pood postage stamps aro just as good as a bank-note Thero is really no limit to tho price of a good stamp. Every yenr stamps nro lost, torn or burned in somo inexplicable manner, and ss the number of collectors is constantly increasing prices aro going up. From to 10,000 Is considered a big colloctlon, nndafalr collection will amount to from 4.000 tn 6,000 A collector might havo a collection of 2,000 stamps that would bo worth much more than tho collection of 4.000 or 0,000. It is all according to what stamps you make it your business to collect.

Somo collectors only try to obtain United Stales stamps. Othors tako stamps from England and her colonics, whllo others mako it thoir olijoct to get postal cards or stamped envelopes entire. Unitod States aro in tho greatest demand owing to tho determination of tho collector to got tho stamps of his own country, and so tho prico for domestio stamps is constantly increasing. "In starting to mako' a collection, tho small hoy generally buys tho packets of 100 that aro advertised. Tho first 100 costs 25 rents, the soeond CO cents, and so on in pro.

portion. Of oourso, if he gots any dupli. catcs, he may trado them off withsoino friend, and thus add to his collection. When a man who has monoy starts to colloct, tho first thousand stamps ho buys will cost him about 815; the second thousand about 925, and the third thousand about C50. Then he generally buys singlo stamps to complete sots, partB of which ho already bos in his possession.

Onco a collector reaches tho 4,000 notch ho will either keep on, spend, ing a lot of money, or he will drop out entirely." Tbo study of postage stamps is extremely interesting, as well as instructive, and it is for this reason that parents encourage their children in collecting these scraps of paper. A great many countries aro vory Binall, such as Heligoland, for instnnco but they have stamps, and when a child sees ono ho wants to find out where the country is located and goos to his atlas to see In this way he gains a groat deal ot useful knowledge. In addition to tho lessons in history and peogTsphy ho receives ho also acquires a great deal of interesting information nbont tho paper tho stomps aro printed on, tho ink that is used, the number of perforations, tho wnter-inarks and tho lithographing and en. graving. It is highly important In arranging a col.

loction to know all theso things. Tho water mark In a stamp may mako many dollars' difference in its value. For instnnco, a penny red, Now Zealand, 18C3. perforated and water-markod with a star, is worth only few cents, whllo the same stamp, watir-markod with N. would bring at least $25.

Tho paper on which postage stamps aro printed is mode of rags, chewed into a pulp, which is spread on a wiro tiamo and slowly dried. Tho water-mark is mado by working a pattern of the proposed design into the frame, and as tho pulp lies heavier in the depressions tto part on the framo is thinner, end on completion of the process retains its Impressions. To show how interesting tho cngrnving ond lithographing of stamps really is. it is only nocoRtnry to compare two issues of tho four, penny stamp of tbo Cape of Good Hope, of the 1H01 issue. The stamp was lithographed probably in New York or Ixmdon.

and sent to tho Cape. In some way the supply of stamps ran out down in the southern part of Africa, and before a fresh supply arrived some one bad made a wood engraving, mid printed enough stamps to moot 41ia jlnmuml tnr Itin tlmn lA(n the demand for tho tlmo being. Tho lithographed speclmon is only distinguished from tho wood-cut print by one being darker in color than its mate. Tho litho-graphod stamp bulls for 10 cents, whllo tho cheap wood-cut brings $3.50. Tho United States stamps of tho issua of 18C9 are also curious.

In printing thorn it was liccessnry for thorn to receive two im. prebsions, as thoy were In different colors. On ono occasion a sheet was put In the press 1 reverted, and tho result was a misprint. Tho wbolo sheet got into circulation, howovor, mid now tho stamps cost $C5 each. Tho collecting of stamps is carried on to such nn o'xtout that thoro aro handsomely bound albums and catalogues printed for uke in classifying ttio collections.

For bona fide organizations! tbinkitvory fair." answered Mr. Gompers. What has become of tbo hundreds of thousands of Knights of Labor who havo left or born expelled from tho Ordor "Many havo been cast adrift. The majority a largo number of whom were Knights and at the same tlmo trades union, ists having observed the antagonistic policy of tho Knights towards trades unions, havo left tbo Order and remained in the trades unions with more devotion and tenacity than evor bofore. Notwithstanding the depression in trade this lost year tho trades unions have been growing, and the national organizations represented in the Federation have increased their membership 35,000." "What is the leading national organization in this Stato "Thero nro flvo times as many Trades Unionists in Now York as Knights of Labor.

Tho largest organization In this State is tho International Cigar-Makers' Union, which has sixty-six locals attached to it. The Brotherhood of Carpenters is next with forty. one locals." What is tho probablo future of tho Knlgbts of Labor." There is an alternative future for them, dependent upon thoir own administration. If thoy will como back to thoir first prlnci. pies and become as thoy should, an anxll.

iary to tbo bona fide trades unions, they will livo and prospor. If they continue tho policy of the past few years thoy will wane and disappear. So far as tho Federation is concerned, in connection with thoir po-sition towards the Knights, thero is not any feeling of hostility. We desiro to seo them succeed, but they must cease their antogon. ism to and interference with trade unions and their affairs.

The American Federation guarantees to tho trades unions affiliated with it their autonomy and independence.

ovor which his widow, children, grandchildren and some folks who are neither will wrangle for a year or two, and tho lawyers will divide ot tho ond. Tho latest chapter in tho story has just openod in a most spirited and refreshing style. It begins with tho appearanco of a new claimant in tho person of Mrs. Dr. Yunker.

of San Francisco, who is backod by Mrs. Do Young, wife of tho editor of tho San Francisco Chronicle. Mrs. Yunkor claims to bo the daughter of William Henry Meyer, who was a son of tho ltnbbor King, and was discarded some years ago by his father becauso he married an IriBh servant girl, Bridget Hargrove, then living at MUltown. N.

J. Thero was somo question as to tho legitimacy of birth of William Henry, and when his father disowned him he took Lis wife to California, his father giving hJm $10,000 to start lifo upon. The now claimant is represented in the legal battlo by Counsellor James II. Van Cleef, of New Brunswick, who claims to be able to clearly establish tho legitimacy of birth of William Henry Moyer to the first wife of Christopher Moyer, and that Mrs. Dr.

Yunker Is the granddaughter of tho million, airo. Tho will ot Christophor Moyer was mado Jute 2, and later a codicil was made at bis homo in Now Brunswick. Tho will wat offered for probate hero, but the codicil was filed in the Orphans' Court, Now Brunswick. The will cava tho cntiro estate in trust to John O. Meyer, Mablon C.

That is tho hour when tho cars aro fullest and tho contingent of tbo passengers which tako their transit perpendicularly was unusually large.
