Suspicious Generosity.

to startle him, says Chatter. For instance, the

OF the state came here to spend holiday. He

fellow by any means. When be returned to his

A Sell That There Was No Money I,

Speaking OF this Washington dinner reminds
me of story about John Chamberlain, which
he told recently in New York, says the New
York Press. Cnamberlain's club house is known
TO every one who visits Washington Isaac
Cook, who built up large business at st. Louis
IN the production and sale of an American
champagne, was in Washington six or seven
years ago, and wanted very much to have his
wine put on the menu at ChamberIain's. Said
he TO Chamberlain, Il have had a great stock
OF wine in Washington Tor several years, but it
does not sell right. If you will put it on your
menu Will send you the wine, and YOU can
pay me as it is sold" Chamberlain took MIN
up. That year congress was in session until
August. But it was a dull year. Everybody
was hard-up. Nobody drank wine. But Cham
berlain used to get few convivial spirits from
the Senate and House down to his place. and
make great punches for them out of Cooks I'M
leral After adjournment Chamberlain
dritted up TO Saratoga, where he met Cook on
the porch of the United States hotel and this
conversation ensued:
We'll, how's the wine, Chamberlain?n
all. . ' '''''' ''A'' 'i''' )
Well. you remember the arrangement"
Perfectly
You were to pay me when the wine was
solo,
Exactly; but haven't sold bottle of it,
used it all for myself and friends.''
he had expected an outburst of Indignation
from the old gentleman. but to his surprise Mr.
Cook. with shrewd business sense, responded
quickly and enthusiastically:
You don't tell me so? Well. if you will give
me written certificate to that effect the ac-
count shall stand cancelled II will be the biggest
advertisement could have"
He got the certificate

An Antidote for cowardice.

and patriotism of all the recruits could not be
vouched for. One of the batch was NAMED

After some further talk promised him. We
were in Rockers corps, and as we moved in

Good Order on Tvhee Trains.

Capt. Purse, president and manager of
the Savannah and Atlantic railroad,
officially announces that drunken men shall
not interfere with, or in any way annoy,
passengers On the trains Of that company,
and he means what he says. He intends
that there shall be the best of order on the
trains on all days, Sundays included. He
is not the kind of a man to put up with any
nonsense from roughs or drunken men, and
if anybody makes himself a nuisance on
the trains he will get into trouble.
The next thing to be done is for the Tybee
authorities to restrict whisky selling on the
island on Sundays. Ninety-nine of every
hundred of those who go to Tybee on Sun
days are respectable and law-abiding people,
and the few who do not wish to be decent
can be made to bs so. There is no reason
why the pleasure of the great majority of
those who go there on Sundays should be
destroyed by a few roughs who go there to
get drunk, and who, when drunk, are GER
tain to create a disturbance. The thing to
do is to shut off the whisky supply on Sun
days. When that is done there will be nc
more complaints of rowdyism.

Ex-senator Charles W. Jones il now in
an insane asylum at Dearborn, Mich, nine
miles from Detroit The physicians who
/ ex.mined him and gave certificate of his
insanity say that lis case is hopeless. He
of the world again.
Mr.. Jones was q man With grievance.
The first sign that there was something
wrong with his mind was noticed il 1879.
when the democrats obtained control of the
Senate. He wanted the craftsmanship of tho
committee on naval affairs, aud thought he
was entitled to it on the ground OF seniority
OF service. Tho caucus committee, how
ever, gave the place to Mr.. Mcpherson of
New Jersey. From that time Mr.. Jones
insisted that he had been slightei by his
party associates. This idea took a firm
hold OF him and he finally declared that he
was victim of a conspiracy. During the
period he was in Detroit he frequently
wrote to the newspapers relative to the
conspiracy, asserting that the time would
come when he would bring the conspirators
to justice.
He was reelected in 1881, but he did not
pay much attention to his official duties.
About that time he visited Europe, and
made several speeches on the Irish question.
In Europe he met an American lady to
whom be paid great deal OF attention, and
even after they both returned to this coun-
try he had an idea that he was very much
In love with her. She did not encourage
him, however, being alread betrothed. Mr..
Jones was very fond of ladies' society, and
his attentions were apt to become marked
If he were given any encouragement. That,
however, was after he seemed to lose interest
in his senatorial work.
About two years before the close of his
term ne met Miss Clothilde Palms, the rich
est maiden in Michigan. 1t is doubtful il
Miss Palms ever showed any special pleas
ure In his society. He followed her to De-
trolt, however, and made repeated efforts to
see her. His manner of living in that city
soon exhausted his slender means, aud when
his money was gone he began his downward
course. His condition became really pisia-
BILE. He never forgot that he had been a
senator, however, and usually bore himself
with dignity.
Mr.. Jones had rather remarkable career.
he was only 10 years of age when he arrived
in this country. He learned the carpenters
trade and worked at it for several years
after he reached his majority. He was
admitted TO the bar after brief study of
the law and met with success almost from
the start 1t was on the suggestion of the
preacher Hicks, who became widely known
as the spiritual adviser of Guiteau, that he
was elected senator. Hicks was one of
few independents in the Florida legislature
who held the balance of power Hicks told
the democrats that if they would nominate
Jones he and his fellow Independents would
support him, and his offer was acted upon.
Mr. Jones was man of marked ability.
LII he had applied himself closely to his
duties in the Senate, and had retained his
mental balance. he would have taken
very high position in that body. 1t is sad
to think that his career is ended, and that
he must end his days in mad house.

It's rustling leaves in the night wind wild''

Reaching his castle in fear and dread,
In the fathers arms his child lay dead.

What's the Matter With spreckels ?


Mr.. Claus Spreckels, the millionaire sugar
refiner. telegraphed yesterday from Phila-
delphia to his agent in this city as follows;
Contradict all reports that have Joined
the trust. They are absolutely false
never will join" Under the influence of
this dispatch, and on the strength Of it, we
hasten at once to announce that Mr.
Spreckels has not yielded to the blandish-
ments of that willy foe of cheaper sugar,
the sugar trust We are bound
to believe that Mr.. Spreckels puts
unbounded trust in lis ability to manage
his own sugar business He has been man
aging it for good many years, and has
succeeded in accommodating fortune of
$15,o00,000 or $20,000,OOO. No better evil
dence is needed than this that he can get
just as much out of the sugar business as
the trust can. Why should he want to join
the trust when there is a great deal more
glory and just as much profit in ''going it
alone" When we are asked, therefore, to
deny the reports that Mr.. Spreckels has
joined the sugar trust we reply with Z
clear conscience. we will, we will
The last sentence in the dispatch, "I never
will join" presents picture of the sturdy
old German that is truly admirable. With
his teeth firmly set and his feet firmly
braced he deies the entire sugar trust
brigade. There is no power that can make
him join the hateful monopoly. He doesn't
care how high the sugar trust certificates
go or how low they fall. He has made up
his mind that he will have nothing to do
with them. Those who know him are aware
that when he has once made up his mind
half dozen sugar trusts couldn't change it.
Why should Mr.. Spreckels bother himself
| about the sugar trust! Hasn't he got Just
| as good a trust as he wants on the Pacific
coast-a trust that is all his own-and
hasn't he got big sugar refinery in Phila-
| delphia that is bound to be just as profitable
as any refinery, or all the refineries belong
| ing to the sugar trusts
We are waiting to see Mr.. Spreckels
''bust" the trust, as he is reported to nave
said he would. If he will be good enough
| to put his threat into execution, he will win
the thanks of those of his fellow citizens
who do not own any sugar certificates,
| particularly if the destruction of the trust
| results in lowering the price of sugar. The
emphatic way in which Mr.. Sereckels says
81 never will join" justifies the conclusion
that he is getting ready to make war on the
trust, and that when the battle begins
sugar, sugar certificates and sugar men will
| get such a shaking up as they have not had
| for many day. 1t is to be hoped that
| Mr.. Spreckels will move on the works of
the enemy at as early day as possible.

country would suit them exactly. The
climate is like that of Arkansas, and the
soil will produce all kinds of semi-tropical
fruits; also wheat, cotton, sugar and rice.
