An Unlucky Investment.

a Fifth avenue tailor recently invested In q
phonograph, says the New York Truth. In test
hight, among other remarks, he poured into it q
grievance against one of his patrons. a well
known clubman and an old customer, whose
presentation regarding payment has brough;
the tailor almost to the verge of bankruptcy.
He had repeatedly sent in his little re uinders
without result. and had begun to despair OF ever
collecting the debt. Much to his surprise a few
days later the delinquent called aud paid S2s
on his account There was an interchange of
polite small talk, and then the visitor, who
was OF somewhat inqu.sitive turn, spied the
phon ograph.
'Ah," sad he, something to amuse the boys,
ehy"
At this he approached the guiIeless looking
instrument. The tailor became visibly agi-
tated.
''It's-ah-a little out OF order; considerably
so, in fact; don't work
No? Now, am little up on the subject.
What's wrong?"
Then he began to turn the cylinder, his ear
against the tube. He kept on turning his inter-
est momentarily increasing, while perspiraIion
stood upon the brow of the merchant The en-
tire lament, oaths and ALL was transmitted to
the audito who promptly Strengthened himself
up. and, recovering from his asbonishment re-
marked:
There's nothing the matter with that ma
chine; IT'S all right. Why. l recognized your
voice perfectly Good day"
the tailor has carried the offending instru.
ment home to bis children for a playthng and
there Is at least one good customer lost 10 him
through his indiscreet confidence in the telltaIe
bit of mechanism.

He Got Off Lucky.

A Detroter. was looking for lands in Southern
Kansas. got off the train at a little town at mid
night. and. in trying to find his way to hotel.
says the Detroit Free Press, he went astray and
brought up against man who held the muzzle
CT shotgun against his breast, and said:
Vow, then, If you move a foot you are dead
man.
He moved his tongue instead, and asked what
was wanted. Two more citizens Joined him
and ne was theninarched to the lookup, and told
that ne was prisoner, charged with attempted
burglary the night before. Two of the men
positively identified him as the man they had
Sc n running away from jewelry store. See.
ing it was no use TO talk, he kept STILL and they
went through him. They found moth ng sus-
plcious, but held to their case and he was locked
up and left alone. Early next morning fat
little justice of the peace came putting in, and
called out:
Why didn't you tell us we had got the
wrong man?'
1t was no use.

Barring Brotners, rrouhles.

In the great financial centers the impress.
sion prevails that Barring Bro hers will now
be able to tide over their difficulties As
has been already stated, their embarrassment
was caused by too liberal dealing in secu-
rites OF the Argentine Republic. 1t seems
that they have locked up about SIS, 900, 900
in those securities. If they could dispose of
them, however, at the market price, they
would still have a banking capital left of
S20,0J0,0O0 after paying every dollar OF
their liabilities.
But If they should attempt to put these
securities on the market in its present
shaky condition the prices of them would
fall to almost nothing. They would not
bring enough to enable Barring Brothers to
meet their liabilities, and they would have
to close their doors. The action taken by
the Bank of England and the Rothchilds
prevented anything of that kind from hap
penlng, however. Barring Brothers have
been given three years to liquidate their
South American securities. and within that
time they will be able, doubtless, to dispose
Of them at remunerative prices.
The question is asked, how came they to
have 30 large an amount of Argentine Re-
public securities on handa The explana-
ton offered is that they had confidence in
them, and, doubtless, sold the larger part
of them when they were issued When
governmental affairs in the Argentine re-
public began to look squally the holders Of
these securities became alarmed aud has
tened to get rid of them. As Barring Bros
had sold them they followed the custom of
the house, and took back the securities
which they had recommended their Gus
toners to buy. In that way they got a
bigger load of unstable securities than they
could safely carry.
Why the embarrassment Of Barring
Brothers caused sort of panic in Wall
street was that it was thought that the
Earrings held an immense amount of Amer
lean railroad securities, and that they
would be thrown upon the market at once,
thus causing an immense fall in that class
of securities. 1t seems, however, that they
had very few American securities, and.
therefore, il they had failed there would
nave been no good cause for panic in Wal
street
The stock market in New York i.
steadily getting stronger, and the same
condition OF affairs prevailed in London.
1t is probable that there is no furth eli
reason TO apprehend wide spread financia
| disasters.

Troubles me Italians.

The Italians in New Orleans are giving
the authorities in that city good deal OF
trouble. The feeling against the Italians,
since tho assassination Of Chief Of Police
Hennessy. has steadily grown stronger, and
the Italians, knowing that they are re-
garded with suspicion. have beco ne resent
full and aggressive. 1t IS thought that a
conflict between the Italians and the other
citizens is not at all improbable
There does not seem to be any doubt in
the minds of the New Orleans authorities
that the Italian murder society, known as
the Malta, authorized the assassination of
Chief Hennessy. A DOZEN or more Italians
were arrested on suspicion of being impli-
Gated in the crime. One of them was shot
in prison by a well-known New Orlean
man, and il is alleged that the others hav g
been brutality treated by the prison officials.
The grand jury is now investigating the
Hennessy assassination, and the Italian
consul, day or two ago, addressed
a communi alton TO it, in which he alleged
that the suspected Italians were treated in
humanity by their jailers. His communica.
ton was based upon the IDEA that they are
citizens OF Italy. The mayor of New Or
leans replied to the consul's communication,
aud declared that at least nine of the sus-
pectei men had been citizens of the United
States for at least two years, and that
therefore, they are not within the consul's
jurisdiction.
An Italian Catholic priest, who edits an
Italian newspaper, has asked the Italian
government to send an Italian warship to
New Orleans TO protect the Italian resi-
dents Of that city. There is very ugly
feeling between the Italians and the other
citizens, and it would not require very
great provocation to bring about a conflict,
The Italian CONSUL and the Italian priest do
not appear to have shown very good judg-
ment in the course they have taken. They
have simply made the Italians more aggres.
sive and strengthened the sentiment ag ainst
the Italians.
There is no doubt. Of course, that Hen
messy was assassinated by Italians, but it il
far from certain that those who ara und or
| arrest for the crime are guilty of it. No
effort is being spared by Italians to secure
the acquittal Of those under arrest, and that
is why the feeling against them is SO bitter
The best element Of New Orleans have
determined that the Malta shall b. broken
up. and in their work they are receiving 6
very hearty support.

Jaw Goulds Plans

Although money is bard 70 get and blsi-
nsss men in different parts Of the country
are falling becaase they cannot ges as
lnueh as they want Of il. even wneu they
have the bsst Of collaterals, Mr.. Gou sp-
pears 10 have 70 difficulty IN getting all he
/ wants TO carry out plans fer the benefit Of
the great railroad properties which he con-
/ trOls. II is stated that he has just pur-
chased 10000 shares of Richmond Te--
nlnal stock. fJr which, it il reported, be
I paid 81, 400, 900. He certainly got the stock
cheap enough. even if be should never be
able to get as much for it
as be gave, for bis interest in
the Richmond Terminal makes him
a power in that corporation. He is now In
a position TO make arrangements between
the Richmond Terminal properties, which
include the Richmond and Danville, the
Georgia Central and the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia, and MS own railroad
properties in the southwest that will give
him outlets at three places on the Atlantic
coast namely, West Point, Va. Savannah
aud Brunswick. And 1t must not be for
gotten that he has lately acquired control
owns and those in which he is deeply inter
ested, therefore, have outlets on
both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts.
A question in this connection which is OF
interest to Savannshians is this: Will
Mr.. Gould's interest in the Terminal sys-
tam benefit Savannah It certainly will if
it will benefit Mr.. Gould to make Savannah
the main seaport for his system of roads.
His southwestern roads connect with the
Terminal roads at Memphis and at Green
vile, and it may be his purpose to
send grain and other western products to
Europe from the west By way OF Sa-
vannah, and also to make Savannah the
port through which foreign products
needed for the western market shall be i'm
ported.
Unless Mr.. Gould has some such purpose
as this it is difficult to Sc what he wants of
so much Of the Terminal stock, unless his
object is TO ultimately to gel control of al
Of the Terminals properties. However,
Mr.. Gould does not make public his plans
What mis- plans are the public knows only
when it sees them being carried out.
Nearly two years ago he entered into an
agreement by which he and the Terminal
people were to benefit each other to the ex-
tent of their ability, but it is not generally
known whether or not the agreement has
given Savannah any additional freight
from the west It will be known shortly,
in all probability, what his purpose is in
becoming so largely interested in Terminal
stock.
