says: Any man who is actually engaged in business life in New York will testify to the fact that the newsboys and street arabs of the town often make admirable clerks. The way these little outcasts work their way into commercial houses of established standing is remarkable. Everybody knows that per- centage of the public and prosperous men of America began as newsboys, but everybody may not be aware how many youngsters sharpness enable them to work their way out of the gutters in which they were born. They begin as hangers on. They may be newsAoys, bookblacks or street gamins of every kind when they begin to make their headquarters in front of some shop or in the doorway of big commercial house. Poverty has sharpened their wits. They are quick to pick up dropped umbrella or cane, or to open the door for one of the clerks, and they easily scrape an acquaintance with the men around the place. If one of the clerks want to send telegram in q hurry, or there is some short errand across the street, it soon becomes the custom to rap on the window and call the street arab in to do the commits sien. It is not only that he is satisfied with 8 few pennies for his reward, but he is not uncommonly as quick as fash in executing his commissions, and after time, if he dis plays any aptitude, somebody buys him $6 suit of clothes, and before it is quite realized he has 8 footing on the salary list of the house.
 ooba,,oa %o Jafopd Naw Work harhor ia t0 run pipes out from pumping stations on the shore and when hostile ships enter the Mar rows force petroleum out to the channel. When it rises to the surface fire it by means of bombs. What will happen then is thus pictured: The smoke from the burning petro- leum will envelope the enemy in heavy clouds, making it impossible to sec each other or the shore. The harbor buoys will be removed in time of war, and the officers, not being able to see the landmarks, cannot get their bear ings to steer by. They may attempt to steer blythe compass, but that will not save them in a narrow channel. What will they dol They cannot turn in the narrow channel! Signals cannot be seen. If one ship stops the one astern runs her down. They cannot get out again as they came in. The utmost confusion panic-will be the result. Some ships will get aground while groping about in the smoke and flames. Worse still, some of the surface pipes will fire the petre- Ieum high into the air, landing it on the decks and against the sides of the armor clads. They will not burn, of course, but the petroleum will. It will be ignited by the fire on the surface of the water, and the flames will creep up the sides, setting fire to boats and all exposed woodwork. The flames running up the sides may reach the ports and the guns. The gunners can see nothing. They cannot aim their guns, surrounded by a cloud of dense black smoke. The stifing fumes of fsrcely burning petroleum will rem der the crews helpless if it does not suffocate them.

RACE TRACK TRICKKRY.
The Extent to Which Fraud Is Beins
 PerpetFated.

IThe Cynic in the New York sportsman.l
 There is no gainsaying the fact that the year has been measurably free from scandal, and that the turf as profession includes few, if any, more black sheep than any oth- er walk of life that might be named. Hon. orable men there are on the turf, sufficient to form a powerful influence for good, who have conducted, and do conduct, their busi- ness of racing with strict justice and equity. They may not perhaps derive as much profit as those to whom we shall alluds later on, but they have the consciousness of honor preserved, as we'll as that of being respected by their fellows.
 Some may sheer at the Honorable" racing owner, and assert that there is no such rara avis. Such skeptics are probably themselves rotten to the core, and naturally believe sve- " one else to be like them.
 In my racing experience of nearly q score and half years have met with not few turfmen whose word was not only as good as their bond. but who would scorn to do dis honorable act on the turf or of 1t.
 Not so very many years ago but what some race-goers of the present day will perhaps locate the circumstance, race was being run at one of the race courses "by the sea-" The owner of the favorite was approached by { friend who aceosted him with, "Well, MT ---, suppose your horse will win" Th' | turfman in question, one of the best knowI of the Old Guard, by the way. replied I "Wall, don't know.

no nearer. Moments fled as the oars dipped and the boatman rugged. Eyes were strained for glimpse of the shore that consistently de- clined to loom up. Matters were getting des- perate. Two hours elapsed, but still the boatman pulled. Blisters were on his hands, precipitation rolled down his back in stream and dropped from the rim of his hat A faint round disc far of in space, represented the mist-obscured moon. Miss Morris was brave, patient, but little nervous, and Dr. Price comforted her as best he could. The damp ness was pervading her clothing, and the cEiH night air made them shiver
 All at once puff of wind sent the mist cloud flying, the moon shone out clear and beauti- full, the welcome Jersey shore was discovered, and the boatman made vigorous pull and reached it just as the clock was tolling mid night.
 Rev. Eli Clifford was aroused from slumber few moments after that, and the couple on the front stoop saw a real white cap poked out of 6 second story front window. Few words were necessary to explain matters. A few seconds later the parsonage door WAS opened and the dominic appeared. slightly the worse, for nasty toilet The ceremony was performed, and Dr. and Mrs Price found quarters in g hotel in Burlington.

SHIPBUILDING.

D1N~s
 The recent improvement in ocean freights has greatly stimulated shipbuilding. Freight rates are thirty, fifty and sixty per cent. higher than they were in January of last year, and in some cases more than double. In England the past year is declared to have been far the most prosperous that ship build- CTS have seen since 1883, and the London 1888 at eight hundred thousand tons, all but about 10 per cent. of which is steam pros pelled. Pursuing it's investigations still fur- ther, so as to compare the condition of the worlds shipping trade to-day with that of ten years ago, the Times reveals some very suggestive and important facts.
 The figures furnished by the Times show that, despite the inactivity of recent years, the merchant marines of the ten chief mari- time nations of the world had increased from IA, 133, ,000 tons in 1878 to to 14, ,345, ,000 tons at the close of 1887, which, in view of the greater gain in steam tonnage, virtually rep resents an increase of of s:305, ,000 tons, counted by sailing tonnage efficiency. Now, England's profit by this increase was S04, ,000 JULIE, AS4 dRRIOSat0 O0lAS t,SOO,oOO sOA5J 2S against 6, 492, ,000. Germany's increase was 150, 900 tons, Russia's 10000, Frances IT, 900 (the result of the temporary impetus to shipbuilding and buying given by the ton mage bounty law) and Portugal's 5000. On the other hand, the tonnage of Norway, Sweden. Holland and Italy has fallen off Gin the case of the last named s4,000 tons, though it also has tonnage bounty, while the decrease in the tonnage of the United States reaches the startling figures of 614, ,0OO tons. Coming now to the subject of the for eign trades of these countries, it is found that in total increase of Al, ,e63 tons, of which every nation has it's share, the gain for the United States is 3,66s, ,OO0 tons, for Italy 4,1s7, 900 tons, for Germany 4,s92, 900 tons, for France 5,s39, ,000, and for England 13, ,566, ,000.
 These facts show that England is holding her own on the water, as usual. They also show that, also as usual, the United Stat is not. Which is hum1listing.

Pulling for the Shore and the Marriage
From the Philadelphia Record.1

From the Philadelphia Record
 The road to the marriage altar is often dark, but it is seldom that the pathway is so clouded in fog that those who seek the place become lost Such was the experience of Dr. Thomas H. Price of Bridesburg and Miss Mar jorie M. Morris of Newark. N. J. They had 8 thrilling experience in trying to find the mar riage altar on Thursday night.
 Dr. Price and Miss Morris took Pennsyl- vania Railroad train, rode to Bristol, walked down to the wharf and secured 8 boatman to row them across the Delaware River to Burr lington, where TO horrid marriage licenses trouble hearts that long to beat in unison. The dense fog that hung over the water upon that night might have deterred project of less i'm portance, but the determined couple had 6 weighty purpose in view.

A Victim Found Hanging

New ORLEANS, February 22.-The
Times-Democrat Artesia, Miss, spe-
cial says: Artesia was shocked yes
terday morning by report that a
man had oeen hanged near here.
Many people went to the place where
the body was suspended and recog-
nized it as that of d. H. Smith, ne
gro from Forest City, Ark, who has
been to Oktibee county two or three
times lately, shipping hands to Ar
kansas. The coroner with his jury in
vestigated the matter this morn
ing until nightfall. Evidence indi-
Gated that the hanging was done by
two divisions of Oktibee county and
one from Lowndes. The three are men
of good standing in their commune
ties. More witnesses are to be exam
ined today. Smith came here TO take
the train for Arkansas.
