Odd Marriage Fraud

THE NEWEST IHTNG TN AD-j VBRIISING FOR A HU6BAND.J Quite a new development in the line i of matrimonial advertisement frauds' lias just been reported to the Scotland Yard police in the hope that they rany succeed where the detectives of a big Yorkshire city have failt-d. There is, ifc appears, no agency business about this—no bureau where yoo pay a fee varying from a sovereign to twenty pounds, to a shabby-looking gentleman in slippers and Turkish fi z, and he pulls a bell and enter the long- It st Austrian countess with a fortune of £150,000 in her own right. No, it appears to be just one prttty girl who has wit sharp enough to match against a man's—and to win every timp; Recently the following adver tisement appeared in a well known Yorkshire daily :— Intelligent, attractive young lady wishes to meet honourable gentleman ; object, matrimony. A reply to this brought a letter, written in a delicate feminine hand, and alao enclos;ng a photograph said to be a picture of the writer. Ifc was dated from Douglas, Isle of Man, but the writer explained in the inevitable feminine postscript .that she ran over to that resort tw» or three times in summer, and that her real address was —well, where it didn'c turn out to be, Lot her letter, however, speak for it self .— —Street, DougfasJ-of-M, July 15, 1900 Dear Sir,—A thousand thanks for your answer to my advertisement, also for the photograph, which, I am sorry (o note, you do not consider ia like yomself. I was glad to receive it, as it brings into my life a new existence I hope and trust our acquaintance will continue to grow until the mutual objects of each shall have been at tained It seems to me as if there were some bond of sympathetic affection really binding us together. I know from your letter you must be a man whom any woman would delight to tove, honour, and obey. I should be 'lad to come to Leeds to meet you. ♦Ye could then Bee whether the affinity between oar souls is striking enough to unite us for all time I enclose my photograph. It shows me as I am. Does it suit you ? I am, I may say, one of the unconventional kind. I am yet young and inexperi enced, We must see each other to know if there is any use in our con tinuing this correspondence along the lines of custom before reaching the goal of our ambitions. I am, unfor tunately, financially poor. If you will send me £3 to pay my expenses I will come, and over a delightful tete a-teto we can see what is best. Do not send post office order, as I am known here at the post office, and would not have my guardian know what I am about to do, —And believe me, always seriously, Maud Gerbidge. Needless to say, the desired remit taDce brought no response, and when a comp'aint was made to the news paper that published the tp-xious advertisement several other victims were traced among the hundreds of replies that were sent, via the office At the advertiser's request, Poste Res tante, Douglas, Isle of Man. A.B a consequence, the local polica were communicated with, and now S-colknd Yard. Miss Maud Gerridge may consequently be heard from again " in another placo,"

Failure of the Cat Crop in Cape Colony.

Messrs M'icowan and Macdonaid, who were commissioned by the Oape Agricultural dfpartinent to report upon certain pfs fs that had appeared fitpongst the crops in the Koeberg dis trict, declare thafc the calamity which has fallen upon the oat harvest is with out parallel in the history of the country. The harvest threatens to be , an almost total failure. The experts say:—From information received on all hands, and from the extensive eur vpy made by ourselves, we have no hesitation in saying that there never hf»s before been experienced so severe an outbreak of oat rust in tha Western districts. Two thirds of the crop is 60 diseased as to be an utter failure, and the remainiDg one-third will be light and very poor in quality. This (says a Cape paper) confirms the fears that have been entertained for some time past, as shown in the steady rise in the me rket price of the cereal. The cala mity is all the more serious from the fact that, owing to the high prices that have ruled for oat hay for some time past, and the prospects of a con tinuance of the demand, the farming community have largely sown oafs in preference fo wheaf, whioh happily promises we!'. The result of all this will naturally be a further serious me in tho price of fodder, Fortu nately, the t xperts have a remedy for the plague-—it ia the complete and prolonged rotation of crops?. 'By cul ture of other crops than cereals, the millions of spores of rust lying ;n the soil are starved out; and perish, leaving the ground clean and uninfected to commence with cereals again.'
