Mr.. James Statements Oontradicted.

The statement recently made, in Pittsburg
by Edward James, claiming to represent the
Hope Iron and Tin-Plate Company of Upton,
England, that over 81, 100000 had been con
tributed by the tin-plate manufacturers and
merchants in England to defeat the clause in
the United States Senate Tariff bill imposing
Il duty on tin-plate was cabled to England
and the attention OF the manager Of the Hope
Company was called to the matter. That
gentleman said that James was wholly with
out authority TO represent the Hope Com
pany in America aud that his statements We're
absolutely untrue. James left the Stafford
district three months ago. People then con
sidered him y crank. A month ago the mana
ger received letter from an American trader
asking whether James was acting under the
authority of the company. The manager re-
piled In the negative.

Lady Musgrave, the widow Of the late Gov

the colony her expense book, which revealed
a deficiency of $1,000 between the official
salary OF the Governor (f5000) and the cost Of
maintaining the Government house. Lady
Musgrave further told the Queensland premier
that II she had not had large private income
settled upon her by her father her late husband

Settling a Buffer.

A State street grip train, crowded
with passengers, reached Sixteenth
street, when IL very tough looking
citizen ran out from the sidewalk
and jumped upon the platform q
one OF the cars, landing heavily upo n
the foot of an inoffensiye young man
who stood up against the box of tie
car. "Look out, there!' yelled IL e
young man, rs his pet corn gave m
a twinge. "Wa's de matter wild
your" demanded the bad man, as lie
turned to size up his victim. "You
jumped on my FOOT said the little
fellow, bravely. "Well, you soy
much more, an I'll smash you up in
de mout'," snarled the big fellow as
he advanced threateningly. "No
you won't" said the small man, and
he whipped from his overcoat pocket
something which he thrust under the
nose of the bully. The laGterjumped
backward from the platform, rolled
over in the street and then rose and
took to his heels. The passengers
on the platform regarded the young
man doubtfully, and the conductor
ventured to say; "There was no
need OF your pulling n gun on Il e
man." Then the young man exhibi
ted his weapon. 1t was n meersch-
aum pipe case, and it did look like u

where Penn signed the Treaty.

A we'll known spot, kissed, no doubt,
by the lips of many ardent tourists as
the one on which William Penn made
his famous treaty with the Indians, has
just been proved to be some fifty odd
feet removed from the historic elm be-
meath which that treaty was really made.
The spot is on the lower side Of Beach
street, below Palmer, and is now the
property of Neatie & Levy, the ship
builders. When they purchased the lot
two years ago for the purpose of enlarg-
ing their works, an old resident of the
neishborhood stated that the elm stood
about fifty or sixty feet from the street.
He was laughed ut, of course, but his
statement has just been verified. In ex-
cavating for the new building Neafie &
Levy unearthed ut the point indicated
the root of the old elm. 1t was about
eight feet in circumference and so firmly
embedded that the workmen were un-
able to remove it without laborious ef-
fort. Fifty-five feet from the root, on
an adjoining lot, stands the weather.

A good joke is told of q kind sister,
belonging to a church not a thous-
and miles from Covington, who was
devotedly attached to her pastor.
and piously taught her children to
reverence the minister above all men.
They were strictly and conscientious
ly taught that, when speaking of him
in comparison with other men CT
things, he must always be excepted
as the greatest and best This rule
was SO rigidly adhered to by tie
good mother, and the children were
so punctiliously trained with regard
to their high esteem and Partially
for the minister, that they never
spoke of anyone or anything with
out always adding tho one excep-
ton.
Now, it so happened one day that
one ofthe little boys, who was
precocious youngster of 6 years, was
out. playing in the fields, near his
home. and discovered an immense
hog grazing in the pasture, when c
became alarmed and ran to the house
with all the swiftness his little legs
could command. Upon reaching the
''paternal haven Of safety" and al
most out of breath, he called to his
mother with all the animation and
ardor of his boyish nature: "Oh! ma,
ma! l saw the biggest hog down
town yonder in the field that l ever
saw in my whole life-except our
minister" Whereupon it is said the
good mother tainted.
