Caught at Last. Chicago, Sept. 24?More than $130,000 stolen, business houses in every part of the United States victimized, a bank created, a waiter risen from poverty to sffluence and an ex-convict again placed behind the bars?these are the features in < the meteoric career of at least one of { two men now under arrest in Chicago. [ Postoffice inspectors made the capr tures. Julius M. Nisson, known also ) 7 by a dozen other names, and Arthur b J. Herbst, said to have many aliases, are the prisoners. Nisson has confessed, but Herbsfc will not admit that he had any part in the big swindle. _ Postoffice Inspector A. E. Germer has complaints against the two men from nearly 200 individuals and corporations who have lost amounts ranging from $25 to $3,000. All these have been victimized since June 20, when Nisson opened operations under different names the men are alleged to have secured at least $130,000 in the last 11 months. This was the mode of procedure, according to the inspectors: Nisson and Herbst would go to a cifcv and onen an office, eneraered y ?- t WW ostensibly in the retailing of metal ware, novelties, machinery or anything which they could secure on credit. They would operate under the name of some firm well known to the business world and in ordering goods to the value of thousands of dollars would give commercial agency references. After the articles had been received the bogus company would transfer the consignments to a warehouse and then ship them to New York, where they were disposed of through a "fence" which has baffled the in spectors for months. When suspicion was aroused the men would flee to another city.

If a man gets into court, says the Binghamton Herald, and the airing of his private affairs becomes a matter of public interest, he can be reckoned as nothing but unreasonable if he finds fault with the newspaper which prints the court proceedings in relation to his case. And yet how i. ii i j ? many people mere are wno, getting into the newspapers after that manner, damn the newspapers and their editors outright. If people desire to be kept out of the newspapers they muBt keep out of courts and politics. If they get into court or politics they might as well make up their minds beforehand that not all the newspaper publishers will look upon them in just the light which they (the politicians and the plaintiffs or the defendants, as the case may be) think they should. They must expect that things will be said about them which ate not pleasant to their ears. If they are honest men they will accept that condition of affairs as a matter of course. Missd Pickles.
