TO ESCAPE THE ANTITRUST LAW.

ST. Louis, June 15.-The jute bagging
trust or combination, it is reported here,
where its real headquarters are, is calcu-
lating upon escaping any conflict with the
antitrust law of this state by having all
or nearly all of its product sold ahead
before tho law was passed. 1t is said that
its output is fully sold up to October, and
that it Is now operating Its mill in filling
contracts made prior TO the adoption of
the law. The theory is that the
law can not be retroactive, and
that prices on the product of
mills contracted for before the law was
passed can and will be advanced irrespec-
tive of the law. The bulk of the bagging
is now in the hands of spectators, it is
said, and they expect to enhance values
and reap a rich profit before the season is
over. Notwithstanding the opposition of
southern planters and the introduction Of
cotton and other kinds Of bagglng as a
substitute for lutte.

that she did not like going with those ex-

her to go on. She went on. She said
the idea is to get him to pay all of the

Remarks Made by Couple of Privates

At the club the other day, says a Wash
ington letter, they were recounting some
OF the "reminiscences Of the war; when an
old gentleman on the retired fist of the
army remarked:
81 will illustrate to you the amount Of
influence possessed by officers over men,
and the high state of discipline that pre-
vailed during the first months of the war.
by the following incident that occurred at
the battle of Bull5Run: In the heat Of
the action an officer, who has since be-
come prominent and well known through
out the country, was then in command Of
q brigade on the right of the line. While
riding over the field he discovered a SOL
der concealed In hole in the ground,
which was of just sufficient dimensions
to afford him shelter. The General rode
up to him, inquired as to his regiment,
and ordered him to join it at once. The
man looked him full in the face, placed
a thumb upon his nose, and replied
ooh. no you don't, old fellow You
want this hole yourself"
This reminded the old veteran of q
peculiar military dialogue he listened to
insthe course of one of the battles of the
rebellion, I forget which The soldier
was going off the field too hastily and the

Himself to His Owner.
Many years ago Mr.. Abram Dodge Of
Ipswich, Mass, owned beautiful horse
which was the pet of the family. He was
admired by all who knew his playfulness
and good qualifications. In the summer il
was Mr.. Dodge's habit occasionally to have
q frolic with his horse in his barnyard, then
let him out alone and he would go to the
river, which was about one third Of a mile
distant, where he would battle, then go to a
common and roll on the grass, then start
for home; his stable was renovated for him
while he was gone and his breakfast put in
his crib. If he met his master he would
show some coltish pranks, run for the
stable, pull out the wooden pin that
fastened the door with his teeth,
and rush to the manager to find his food.
One night the horse was stolen from the
stable. After the expiration of sixteen
years Mr.. Dodge was at the tavern when a
man drove horse up to the door. Mr..
Dodge at once recognized the horse and told
the driver his reason for believing it to be
his; the man told the story Of whom he had
bought the horse, and that he had owned him
for several years 1t was finally agreed that
if the horse would, on being taken to his old
stable, go through the habit Of bathing,
running on the grass, and pulling the pin
from the stable door, as above described,
Mr.. Dodge should have him. When the
horse was let out into his old yard he
viewed the premises for moment, ther
started for his old bath-tub, then for his
green towel on the common, then to his old
stable, pulled the wooden pin and won fol-
Himself good meal and his old master his
favorite horse. These facts are vouched for
by reliable residents Of the beautiful,
picturesque old town, and show con.
elusively the long memory Of our noble
animal.

A CURIOUS EXPERIENCE.
Finding Man on an Island Supposed (,
Be Uninhabited.

Finding Man on an island Supposed to
Be Uninhabited.
Prof. Lee Of Bowdoin College, who &C.
companied the Albatross expedition as q
naturalist, tell Of curious experience in
the South Pacific ocean. Years ago the
Ecuador Government planted convict col
ony on Charles island, one Of the Galapo-
gos group. The convicts revolted, killed
the Governor, and escaped, leaving behind
pigs, cattle, donkeys, and horses. Since
that time no one was thought to live there,
and at Chatham island, another Of the
group, the Albatross party were told that
Charles island was entirely deserted.
They were, therefore, rather sur
prised when they eventually visited
Charles island to come upon man nearly
naked, carrying pig on his back. He was
quite as surprised as they, and was at first
in great fear; but finally they got him to
talk. His hair and heard had grown
to great length and he had lost all
notion Of time. He said that some
years before he had come from Chatham
island with q party in search of certain
valuable moss, that he had deserted his
companions, who had gone off without him,
and that since that time he had been alone
on the island. He had lived on fruits and
herbs; had captured wild cattle by setting
traps for them, killed them with spear
made by tying his pocket-knife to stick,
and from their hides made hut. He was
glad to see men again, and asked to be
taken back to Chatham, which was granted,
