THE SITUATION OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal coal boatmen remains about the same
nOJhlng having been definitely settled, althOuo h
all the coal companies are shipping to some
extent. The three first months OF the season
sl.l0per ton freight was paid which has been
cut down TO 81. This the boatmen are willing
to take, provided all boats are loaded In turn.
e., In the order in which they arrive. This will
prevent cutting rates. which boatmen are often
Wiling to DO In order to get a load at once so
as TO lose no time. The situation narrows down
TO ABOUT this: The bOatmen want 81 10 and each
man take care of himself to get a load, or 81
and boats to be loaded in turn as above stated.
The companies wont agree TO the first, because
they say 1t is too much, nor to the second be-
cause they own many boats TO which they give
precedence.

For Mechanical PURPOSES.

The revival OF the Temperance agitation "a re-.
calling good many Old stories Of the early agf-
tation concerning prohibition. One Of the lead
ING citizens OF Milwaukee, native OF Maine,
tells good one. In which, as boy, he took
some part During the first summer after the
Maine law" took effect, he was sent into the
country to visit his uncle Dan1, who was law
abiding citizen, but q OF prohibitionlst. Hay
Ing came on and the usual accession to the fJJrce
OF farm hands came with 1t. But the work went
on slowly. There was no spirit In it,-none at
least, OF that kind OF Spirit which the men
We're accustomed to. The sale of rum was lin.
lted to town agents, and they were permitted
10 sell only for medicinal and mechanical pur.
poses. After q days dissatisfied watching OF
the work Urcle Dan1 said to bis visitor: glitch
up the horse, William, and take a couple OF
jugs down TO the town agency and get three
gallons OF rum. II Dea Stillwell asks you what
IL is LOT. tel him for mechanical purposes"
The nephew did as he was bid and when he
came 10 the agency boldly asked the agent a
stern-faced Baptist deacon for the rum. The
deacon locked at him over his spectacIes aud
asked MIN who and what Ii was for .sIt,s for
Uncle Danl and mechanical purposes, said the
young man. The deacon quietly took the Jugs.
slowly filled them and brought them out to the
wagon. AS he was putting the second one in he
said TO the waiting messenger: who's your
uncle got TO do his baying this year," "The
E!lseS," was the response. "Well,r said the
deacon, as he showed the jugs under the seat.
you tell him he'll need more rum"

Physically Fine, but Vile Morally.

The Afghans are Mohammedans Of the Sunni
faith; they reverence the first four Khalif5,
and have no particular veneration for the
prophet (KhaliD ALI. They are split up into
tribes, clans and families, each under its own
head, commander, or Sirdar; and they are often
at war or feud, and often engaged in conspira-
cteS, TebellionS and assaSsinations They are
tall, burly, active men, with olive complex
ions, dark Jewish features, black eyes, and
long black hair hanging down IN curls. Their
countenances are calm, and they effect a
frankness and 60nho1pte: they will sometimes
Indulge In rude locularity; but their express
sion is savage, and evil passions are often rag
Ing IN their hearts like hidden fires. They are
bloodthiTsty, deceitful and depraved; ready to
sell their country, their honor and their very
souls for iucre. They care for nothing but
fghting and loot, delight ng in the din of
arms the turmoil of hattie and the plumber
OF the killed and wounded; without any relish
for home life or domestic ties; without sting
OF remorse or sense OF shame. There are no
people on earth that have finer physique or
viler morale They are the relics of nation
who have played out their parts In history In
bygcne ages they conquered Hindustan on the
one side and Persia On the other; but the con.
auering instinct has died away amidst the In.

tie police are looking for him for verticatton
OF the report. They know nothing CT the mat
ter at the state department or elsewhere. Capt

District, but he does not think he will have any
arrests to make
