An exchange remarks that the earth
makes a revolution every 24 hours, and
that Santo Domingo is a good close
second. /
The national hymn of Cuba is so long
that the singing of it occupies half a
day. It will go down to history as the
one song that never elicited an encore
from a delighted audience.
And now the health cranks have dis
covered that house brooms are breed
ing places for whole colonies of horrible
germs. What is to be done about it they
do not say, but presumably the only
hope of safety is to buy a new broom
each day.
An old darky by the name of Mace
Jackson, living in Monroe City, Mo., cel
ebrated his one hundred and twenty
seventh birthday a few days ago. His
great age is not as remarkable as the
fact that he does not claim to have seen
Washington.
The late Cornelius Vanderbilt was,
above 1 all things, methodical. He would,
every six months, make a 'areful list
of important things to be accomplished
in the next half year, hang i* over his
private desk and check off ‘ ie items
day by day.
Mrs. Samuel Swartwood, of Mountain
Top, Pa., gave birth to her twenty-fifth
child, a son. Mrs. Swartwood became a
wife when 14 years old and is now 41.
She says: ‘•My children are my great
est blessing.” If numbers are consid
ered, there is no doubt of it.
Among the ministers’ sons who have
“amounted to something” are Senator
Hawley, Richard Watson Gilder, Henry
James, George Bancroft, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Presidents Cleveland and Ar
thur, Vice Paresident Morton, half a
dozen senators and 40 representatives.
Miss Mary Crocker, of San Francis
co, has just received $3,000,000 from the
executors of her father’s estate. San
Francisco is a considerable distance
from Europe and railroad fares are
high, but we anticipate that a good
many titled foreigners will get there,
even if some of them have to beat their
way.
Evelyn B. Baldwin, of the United
States weather bureau, who was a mem
ber of the Wellman expedition, says
that the electrical energy which pro
duces the aurora borealis can be, and
one day will be, utilized just as coal is
now to produce light, heat and power.
Perhaps so, but “some day” means a
great deal.
All recent babies named for Ad
miral t vey have been thrown in the
shade 1 the discovery of a young man
who was named for the admiral when
the admiral was a lighthouse inspector.
A young man who has a parent that can
distinguish military genfas that far
away should have an easy time getting
through the world.
The island of Elba, where the great
Napoleon was once confined, used to
be the most forlorn place on earth, but
the atmosphere there has recently
changed very materially. Deposits of
very rich iron ore have been discov
ered on the island, great smelters and
machine shops have now been erected,
and the. whole place is alive with in
dustry.
“Do you mobe?” is the question of
the day, its single variation being "Do
you mote?” It applies, of course, to
your habits in regard to automobiles.
Nothing in the way of such slang could
ever be quite as objectionable as the
mutilated "bike,” but these two recent
abbreviations are nearly as bad, and, as
they are having a fashionable vogue,
they will doubtless be heard from one
end of the country to the other.
If every man who is in the habit of
taking a drink now and then would
join a nontreating club and keep the
rules the consumption of intoxicants
would fall off one-half or more, says tiie
Omaha World-Herald. This would re
sult to the financial advantage of the
club members, be a distinct service to
many families and would give clearer
heads to business. The treating habit
has been woefully abused in this coun
try, and it is time that sensible men
put a stop to the foolish practice.
This is told of Admiral Dewey: While
cruising in the Mediterranean 14 years
ago a squall struck the vessel and sail
ors bungled their work in such a way
ns to nearly cause the loss of a spar.
They expected to hear something sul
phurous when they reached the deck,
but Dewey only said to his next in com
mand: “Will you kindly tell ine what
was the matter just now with the agri
cultural population on the main top
sail yard?” Needless to say the sailors
would have much preferred a good hard
cussing to being thus delicately classed
as farmers.
Americans enjoy biing humbugged.
All think that I'rencit brandy is the
best, 'aid for tmn reason thousands of
bodes of American brandy are each
year sent to France, stamped with
French labels and shipped back to be
sold here as French brandy. The re
ports of the French government show
this by stating that the manufacture of
brandy in France last year amounted
to 1,000,000 gallons, while the export
Was 3,000.000 gallons. The humbug
shows up in the exportation from
France of three times as much brandy
as France made.
The Brass Foundry company at New-
Haven, Conn., has profited by the low
price of copper coins in India to buy
them by the ton to melt up. Nearly 10,-
000 bags, or about 250 tons, of these old
coins have been brought from India as
scrap copper to be melted up. as at the
present price of copper they are worth
more than their coin value. Scrap cop
per is worth 19 cents a pound, but for
19 cents silver several pounds of these
coins can be bought in India, and, w ith
proverbial Connecticut shrewdness, one
foundry company in that state has prof
ited financially by this fact.
The Trans-Siberian railroad is to be
the most wonderful in the world in
more than one respect. The announce
ment is made that its trains will be fer
ried across Lake Baikal on a steamboat
which will l>e the most powerful vessel
afloat. It will have 40,000 horse power,
a large share of which will be required
to break a way for the boat through the
ice which covers the lake in winter.
Some idea of the great power of the
boat may be imagined when you know
that the engines of the Kaiser Wilhelm
dec Grosse, the greatest of transatlantic
flyers, are only 28,000 horse power.

THE NAVAL PARADE.
Magnificent Tribute Paid to Ad
miral Dewey and His Men.
Demonstration Viewed by 3,000,000
People—The Admiral's Journey
to Waxhinjilon—Meets Pres
ident and Cabinet.
New York, Sept. 30.—N0 victorious
king or prince coming home from a
successful war ever received such a
magnificent ovation as overwhelmed
Admiral Dewey Friday as he stood on
the bridge of the Olympia at the head of
a magnificent fleet of steel thunderers
of the deep, followed by a thousand
vessels of peace, each tiered and coated
black with people, and sailed over the
bright waters of the upper bay and up
the broad pathway of the si.nlit river,
whose banks were gay with millions
of flags and streamers dancing in the
wind.
Salute nt Grant’s Tomb.
As the tenib of Gen. Grant on River
side drive was reached the fleet paid its
tribute to the memory of the great
warrior with a national salute of 21
roaring guns. The fleet then anchored
and reviewed the almost endless proces
sion of craft that steamed past. Toward
the end the parade became disorgan
ized and it took hours for the hetero
genous flotilla to get by. Darkness at
last brought relief to the tired admiral,
who had stood on the bridge for six
hours bowing his acknowledgments to
the stentorian expression of homage.
Vie well by 8,000,000 People.
New York has never witnessed before
anything approaching this wonderful,
remarkable demonstration. The Co
lumbian naval parade, the dedication
of Grant’s tomb and the reception of
the North Atlantic squadron last fall
all pale before this gigantic ovation tc
the sailor who in a single morning de
stroyed an enemy's fleet without the
loss of a man or a ship. It is not beyond
the mark to say that 3,000,000 people
viewed the pageant from ashore and
that a quarter of a million were afloat.
There were nearly 500 vessels in all in
the parade, and it took them more than
three hours to pass a given point.
Great Land Para lie.
New York, Oct. 2. —Saturday brought
to a close the celebrations in honor of
Admiral Dewey. The presentation of
the loving cup, the gift of the city of
New York, took place early in the fore
noon. The great event of the day, the
land parade, was witnessed by a multi
tude of persons, who thronged every
available place. In the evening the
crews of the Olympia and other vessels
of the fleet were entertained at a
smoker at the Waldorf-Astoria. Ad
miral Dewej’ was very tired at the end
of the parade. He was driven at once
to the residence of Manager Boldt, of
the Waldorf-Astoria, escorted by squad
ron A and accompanied by Mayor Van
Wyck. He dined with his lieutenants,
Brumby and Caldwell. Admiral Dewey
did not attend the “smoker.” He was
feeling too fatigued to leave his apart
ments, and retired at 10:15 o'clock.
A Continuous Ovation.
Washington,Oct.3.—Admiral Dewey’s
journey here from New York was one
continuous ovation, limited in its in
tensity only by the density of popula
tion. The special was given a clear
track and the run to Washington was
made without a stop except at Gray’s
Ferry, on the outskirts of Philadelphia,
where engines were changed and a new
train crew came aboard. The train ar
rived on time a few minutes before 7
p. m., Monday.
It was said by the railroad officials
and trainmen that the ovation during
the run from New York to Washington
was the most remarkable demonstra
tion that has ever taken place along the
line.
A hearty reception awaited the ad
miral upon his arrival in the city. He
was driven quickly to the white house
where he was greeted bj" the president,
the cabinet and many of his old asso
ciates in the navy department. Later
on he reviewed the great civic parade
given in his honor.
Much Fatigued.
It was 9:10 o’clock when the fatigued
recipient of the day’s demonstrations
reached the residence of Mrs. Washing
ton McLean, mother of the democratic
candidate for governor of Ohio, on K
street, where he will stay while in
Washington. The admiral was met at
the head of the staircase by Mrs. Mc-
Lean ami her daughters. Mrs. McLean
welcomed the admiral and turned over
the house to him, for his use during
his stay in Washington. Mrs. McLean
and the members of her family then
left, going to her country residence in
the suburbs of Washington.

Term of Five Years.
Washington, Oct. 2. —President Mc-
Kinley has approved the findings of the
court-martial in the ease of Capt. Ober
lin M. Carter, of the engine r corps.
This action was kept secret almost 24

of the convicted officer. His sentence

CAPT. OBERLIN M. CARTER.
Governor's Island preparatory to being
sent to the military prison at Leaven
worth, Kan., which has been designated
as his place of confinement.
Capt. Carter was appointed military at
tache at London in the summer of 1897 and
had hardly reached his post of dut' when
he was recalled to answer charges pre
ferred against him as the result of the al
leged discoveries of Capt. C. L. Gillette,
who succeeded him In charge of the Im
provement of Savannah harbor and ad
jacent parts of the Georgia coast.
A board of inquiry, composed of army
engineers, examined the facts and heard
Capt. Carter. They unanimously reported
"that he had failed to give watchful super

Testimony was given that. Capt. Cart •»

ALMOST A PANIC.
Intense Excitement on New Orleans
Cotton Exchange Caused by
Sudden Advance.
New Orleans, Sept. 30.—The wildest
panic ever witnessed on the floor of the
New Orleans cotton exchange occurred
Friday shortly after business opened
and caused in the midst of the intense
excitement the complete suspension of
future business, pending the investiga
tion of what, at the moment, was as
sumed to be a gigantic conspiracy to
swindle the cotton exchanges of the
country. The panic was due to an ap
parent terrific jump in the price of cot
ton, based on alleged Liverpool ad
vices, and it was roughly estimated that
$179,000 had been lost on local trans
actions as a result. Later in the day
the exchange, after receiving legal ad
vice, declared null and void all future
transactions of the day. This action,
however, promises to be bitterly con
tested, and litigation is likely to be the
final outcome.
Friday is the first time in its history
of 30 years that the New Orleans cot
ton exchange has been compelled to
suspend business. During the panic of
1893 a similar attempt to suspend was
made, but failed. The exchange took
the ground then that suspension would
injure it in the markets of the world.
The directors feel that Friday's sus
pension was unavoidable and excus
able.
BUSINESS STILL GOOD.
A Review of the Commercial Situa
tion by Bradstreet Is Very
Enconriilnc.
New York, Sept £9.—Bradstreet’s says:
“The notable feature of the business situ
ation is the strength of agricultural prod
ucts. notably the cereals, cotton and pork
products. Fall trade continues good,
though it is conceded at several markets
that the biggest part of the fall business
has been done, and that reorders from now
on will cut the largest figure. Wheat has
remained steadily strong, growing firmer
toward the close on enlarged foreign buy
ing and uncertainty as to the outcome of
South African affairs. Sympathetic
strength is displayed by corn and other
cereals. Increased foreign demand is re
ported largely responsible, too, for the
stronger tone and advances shown in hog
products. There is a quieter tone at most
markets for Iron and steel, and large buy
ers have been, most of them, out of the
market. There Is no diminution in strength,
however, and a number of advances, nota
bly on southern iron and steel billets, are to
be reported. Complaints of backward de
liveries are as numerous as '•ver. Lumber
remains active at most markets, though
complaints of slow delivery, due to lack of
cars, are also heard. Southern manufac
turers have again advanced the price of
stoves, which are now nearly oi e-third
higher than a year ago. and plow manufac
turers have also joined in this movement,
marking the third advance within a year
in this branch of farm Implements.”

WRECK OF THE SCOTSMAN.
Fifteen of Iler I'assenKere Are Loti
—>Survlvon Robbed by Mem
bert of the Crew.
Montreal, Que., Sept. 30.—Two hun
dred and fifty scantily-clad, baggage
bereft men, women and children were
on board of an intereoloni; j special
which steamed into Bonaventure depot
Friday night. They comprised the
greater number of those who sailed
from Liverpool on September 14 on
board the steamship Scotsman, bound
for Montreal, which was wrecked on
the shores of the straits of Belle Isle at
half-past two on the morning of the
21st. It was not only a tale of ship
wreck that they had to tell, but one of
death, of suffering and pillage. For
15 at least of the Scotsman’s passengers
perished; all suffered cruelly from
cold and privation, and, almost the
worst horror of all, the men who were
supposed to succor and assist those
committed to their care in the hour of
need turned on the helpless passengers
and with loaded guns and revolvers
compelled them to part with the few
valuables saved. Capt. Skrixushire and
Iris officers were exceptions. For the
honor of the British merchant marine
the crime may not be ascribed to the
men engaged in it, but to a gang of
wharf rats and hangers-on, picked up
on the docks at Liverpool to replace the
usual crew of the Scotsman, which
joined the seamen’s strike on the other
side.
All who perished were women. This
is accounted for by the fact that they
were occupants of the first boat which
left the steamer after she struck and
which was swamped before it could get
clear of the ship.
Hardly had the vessel struck before
men from the stokehole rushed into
the cabins, and, slitting open valises
and bags with their knives, took all the
valuables they could lay their hands
on. Several of them tired shotguns
and tried to force men to leave their
cabins. In more than one instance
rings were torn from the fingers of
fainting and dying women. Capt.
Skrimshire and his officers could do
nothing against the mob.
When morning came it was found
that the Scotsman lay close inshore,
alongside a cliff fully a thousand feet
high. After much hard work the pas
sengers were gotten safely ashore.
A quantity of biscuit was carried on
shore, and on this, with a very little
corned beef and wild berries, over 200
people existed for four days, when
they signaled the Montfort and the
steamship Grecian and were taken
ashore.
NO MORE TEMPORIZING.

Must Surrender Qalcklj—Rebel
City Captured.
Washington, Oct. 3.—A dispatch from
Gen. Otis was received at the war de
partment Monday morning giving an
account of his meeting with the insur
gent envoys. Gen. Otis said the inter
view with Aguinaldo’s representatives
indicated that the leaders were maneuv
ering solely with a view to secure recog
nition of the insurgent government. All
such overtures were rejected and the
envoys were informed that the only
thing the United States would recog
nize was a white flagand the grounding
of arms. He also informed the envoys
that such capitulation on the part of
the insurgents should come quickly, in
order to avoid the consequences of ac
tive war, as the United States did not
intend to permit any delay in the mat
ter.
The course of Gen. Otis is*approved

WHAT THE LAW DECIDES.
The creditors of a member of a fra
ternal beneficiary society are held, in
Fisher vs. Donovan (Neb.) 44 L. R. A.
383, to have no right to or interest in
his certificate cither before or after the
death of the member, and can have no
share in the proceeds thereof.
A statute providing that a trial by
jury shall be waived unless certain steps
are taken before the trial is held, in
Silberman vs. Hey (O.), 44 L. R. A. 264,
to be on a subject matter of general
legislation, and therefore invalid when
limited in its operation to a single
county.
The right of possession of property
sold under foreclosure of a mortgage
is held, in Danehower vs. Dawson
(Ark.), 44 L. R. A. 193, to be in the pur
chaser during the year allowed by stat
ute for redemption, where the statute
transfers the title subject to redemp
tion and is silent as to the possession.
The obligation of the lessee of a rail
road to maintain and operate the rail
road during the term of the lease is i
held, in Southern Railroad company vs.
Franklin & P. R. company (Va.), 44 L. j
R. A. 297, to be a necessary implication
of a lease in contemplation of which
the road was built and which provides
for the use of the receipts, so far as
necessary, to repair the road.
A person employed to cut merchant
able timber by a contract calling for a

tion of a certain per cent, as a for
feiture for the satisfactory completion

the meaning of a statute providing for
a receiver of one who fails to pay em

ducted a gambling house in connection with
Ins hotel, saloon and livery stable, was in
doubt as to what his decision ought to be
r inally Miller, the plaintiff’s counsel, offered
H. oover > ‘he defendant’s attorney,
$lO that he was right. Hoover did not hap
pen to have that much of the circulating me
dium concealed about his person, and was
naturally at a loss how to parry this forcible
Argument. The court waited a few mo
ments on Hoover, and finally said: “Well,
Mr Hoover, the court has’ waited long
enough. Miller’s proposition seems to be a
fair one, and, since you don’t put up, 1 will
decide this case in favor of the plaintiff.’’—

"A Gentle Wind

Tells no s<weeter story to humanity

GOLF AS A TEMPER TEST.
A Lackleaa Player Demoaatratea
How Easy It In to Control
One’s Sell.
A golf story which should certainly be
added to the already excellent number to
which the game has given birth possesses
an advantage which cannot be claimed for
all of them, that of being absolutely authen
tic. An enthusiast, who was somewhat of a
tyro at golf, though of great distinction at
other forms of athletics, had a series of mis
fortunes with which most people can sympa
thize. He was playing against a man whose
opinion he valued, and ne consistently topped
his ball, sliced it, pulled it. lifted it into a
tree, played a fine cleek stroke into a bunker,
and made extraordinary straight long-dis
tance putts in which the ball hopped genially
across the hole into the long grass which
skirted the green.
At first the player's demeanor was omi
nously sweet; he seemed positively to enjoy
his strokes; then he grew mad; then he grew
apparently careless, though his caddie no
ticed the carelessless was only assumed, as
he was pressing horribly. The worst of golf
is that you can never deceive either your
caddie or your ball. At last, at the seventh
hole, he grew wonderfully calm, and marched
off to the next teeing ground, remarking to
his trembling caddie that he would not
trouble to hole out. After an easy prelim
inary swing or two he topped his ball, which
trickled away about 20 yards to the right.
Then the man took all bis clubs and broke
them one by one across his knee, remarking
quietly to his opponent that “it is better to
break your infernal clubs than to lose your
infernal temper.”—London Telegraph.
COMMERCIAL WIT.
A Pareel of Puns That W ere Worked
Off All Right But They
Didn’t Take.
Four traveling men sat on the sidewalk
in front of the Windsor the other night tell
ing stories. The man who smoked stogies
had just finished a somnambulist tale.
"Reminds me of what the pickpocket said
to his fellow-prisoner,” commented the man
with the nasal blossom.
"What was that?”
“I am here, gentlemen,” he said, “as the
result of a moment of abstraction.”
The pun fell with a dull, sickening thud.
But the man who smoked stogies came to
the front again.
“Like the incendiary, eh? There is some
similarity. He was there because of his
habit of making light of things.”
The blossomy man refused to be silent.
“But did you hear about the forger?”
“No. Why?” , ,
“He v.as there on account of a simple de
sire to make a name for himself.”
The man with the stogie meditated. _
“That reminds me of the burglar,” he
casually remarked. There was a three-min
ute stage wait and the man who liked apple
jack gave way to curiosity.
“Whv?”
“As lie said, through nothing but taking
advantage of an opening which offered in a
large mercantile establishment."
The blossomy man had departed, leaving
a wide, far-reaching void.—St. Paul Globe.
A RARE INSTANCE.
An Vnuaual Experience Which the
Bicycle Denier Would Like
to Have Repeated.
A heavy man with a square jaw walked
into a bicycle exchange the other after
noon. The proprietor advanced to wait
on him.
“Gimme a bike,” said the square-jawed
man.
"To buy?”
“Yep.”
“What make?”
“Any old make.”
“Here’s our specialty—good machine.”
“All right, is it?”
“Good as any made.”
“How much?”
“Fifty.”
“Dab a little graphite on the chain and
pump her up.”
The proprietor dabbed a little graphite on
the chain and pumped her up. The square
jawed man pulled out a wad of the size of
his wrist, skinned off a fifty and handed it to
the proprietor. Then he ran the machine
out to the curb, got on it and rode off.
When the proprietor got over being
stunned he went to three or four friends on
the block to get their opinion as to whether
the SSO was counterfeit or the real thing.
The bill was genuine, and the proprietor has
been more or less dazed ever since.
“1 can't understand such swift action as
that in the bike business," he «ays, with a
puzzled air.—Washington Post.
The man who controls his temper governs
his worst enemy.—Chicago Daily News.
