Shrewd Tailor’s Scheme.

In one of the leading journals of Montevideo the following advertisement appeared recently: “A very rich young woman would like to marry a young man of good family. If necessary, she will pay the debts of her future husband. Send answer, with photograph, to I. P., at the office of the journal.’’ The inserter of this announcement was no other than one Isaac Melerstein, a merchant tailor, who had just set up an establishment in \Montevideo. By this plan he procured photographs of many undesirable customers.
