The Mule in the Brush.

Opposite a little railroad station about five
miles below Jackson, Miss, was a dense thicket,
and on one OF the bushes hung white rag A
dozen of us sat with our feet hanging off the
platform, and, while every man had a revolver
on his hip, no one had thought OF shooting at
smoking and talking. when a native came up
the track and sat down with the rest of US, re-
lates the New York Sun. Presently he out with
a Dig revolver and aimed at the rag and pulled
the trigger. The cartridge diin't explode, and
there was a general laugh over the failure

Pigeons Are Not Fow g.

Since Judge Miller has become farmer. says
the Washington Post, some of the cases tina
are brought before him in the police court do
not strike him as they used to do when he was
e resident of the city; such, for instance, as
cases under the police regulations for suppress
sion of Growing ROSTERS and cackling hens.
These early morning sounds complained of in
the city are part of the music on farm In
the police court to-day Mr.. Samuel c. Mddlet On
of 9i2 l. street was charged under the police
regulations with being the owner of disorderly
pigeons, designated in the official papers as
"fowls." Misses Frances D. Bond and Jose
phne Bond, maiden ladies. were the prosecutin ?
witnesses, and t1ey told how the pigeons of the
defendant-flfty in number-disturbed them
The squads, one of them said, 'squealed like
rats.
Mr.. Middleton said that he owned the pigeons
but he was getting rid of them as fast as he
could.
That's false interrupted one of the ladies'.
It's not false, retorted Mr.. Middleton
The case turned on the question whether a
pigeon is a fowl or not, and Prosecutor Dumont
quoted the Bible to show that pigeons were in
Guided in the fowls of the air
Judge Miller referred to the section under
which the prosecution was instituted, providing
that fowls by their growing and cackling dis
turb, etc
A pigeon, the court held, is a bird and not a
fowl, and the defendants case was conse-
quently not covered by the law. The charge
was therefore. dismissed.

The Pennsylvania Campaign.

The campaign in Pennsylvania is going
to be an interesting one Indeed, it is already
interesting. Mr. Quay is showing signs of
uueasiness at the gloomy outlook for his
man Delamater, the republican nominee for
governor All over the state republicans
are boiling the Delamater ticket They say
they have had enough of Quayism. They
want a man for governor whom they can
trust Pattison, the democratic nominee
seems to be such man. He has been tried
and not found wanting.
1t is understood that Quay depends largely
upon money for Delamater's success. The
great corporations like the Standard Oil
Company and the Pennsylvania railroad
are for Delamater. The reason is they can
depend upon him to do their bidding. For
that very reason the honest elem mt in the
Republican party is against him.
1t is thought that Quay will favor the
! domination of an independent republican
ticket. He hopes in that way to prevent
Pattison from getting the independent re-
publican vote. 1t would be better for Della
mater, of course, to have an independent
republican ticket in the fell, provided it
could get all the independent republican
votes. He cannot get them, and it would
greatly lessen his chances of success if Pat
tison should get them.
With an independent republican ticket
and plenty of Doodle Quay hopes to pull the
Delamater ticket through. He has under
taken big job, and the indications are that
he will be a tired and disappointed man be-
fore it is finished.

Information for q Pre-.

There - a rop-a-nickel in the-slo weighing
maehins in the Rapid Transit waiting room at
ST. George, Staten Island Two well-dressed
young men, says the New York Sun, were
Standing near II the other day. One OF them
fshed a nickel from his pocket and stepped on
the platform OF the machine to get weighed
As be was about TO thrust the nickel into the
slot little eolored b0otblack stepped up 70 him
and exclai ned.
'Hol' on, boss, Don 20 drap yer nickel in
money"
is that so, Pompeys" said the young man on
the machine. How do you do it,
-. 1es' blows my BRET inter de hole an de
machine WORKS jes' de same ike you'd drapped
nickel in
Nonsense! Don't tell me any fairy tales like
that, George Washington.
Dat amt no fairy tale, boss; OATS true as
gawspel. III bet you money dat kin do it.
All right. III bet YOU dollar you can't"
as ne said this the young man pulled a dollar
from MS pocket and held IL out toward the
lttle bootblack, evidently expecting him TO
pack down at the sight of the money. But TO
MS great astoniShment the little darby didn't
6acN down at all. Instead Of doing so he pro-
ouced quantity of dimes and n.ckels and
counted out dollars worth OF them. The
young man might have crawled out Of the bet
himself, but crowd had gathered, and he was
ashamed to do it. The money was put up in
the hands OF the lunch counter man, and at orce
the little bootblack put his mouth to the slot,
pulled out his cheeks and blew as hard as he
COuAl luIO Ine Inacline. The indicator swung
around on the dial and pointed at 154 pounds.
That's great trick, said the young man, as
he watched the lunch counter man pay the
6ootblack his dollar Get on the platform,
Fred and I'll weigh you the same way
His companion stepped on the platform, and
the young man careful ly wiped the slot with
bis handkerchief, put his mouth TO it, and be
gan TO blow. His cheeks pulled out like toy
balloons, his face got very red, aud he frowned
horribly, but the Indicator never budged. The
crowd lau he'd, and the young man tried again
harder than ever. but with no better success.
AT last he turned to the grinning bOOblack and
said
Say, George Augustus. I'll give you another
dollar to show me how You did that"
Gimme me de money an I'll show you,
boss
The dollar was paid and the little bootblack
slowed it carefully away in his pocket. Then
he pulled out nickel, put it into his mouth,
and put his mouth to the slot. He blew hard
again, the indicator once more registered 154
pounds. and then the boy opened his capacious
mouth. 1t was empty. The young men were
not very conspicuous after that.

Breaking Ground for the south Bound
The building of the South Bound railroad
will b. begun this morning, and will be
pushed forward vigorously. Before a year
has passed the road, it is safe to predict, will
be in operation. Not only will the South
Bound be built within year, but there are
good reasons for saying that the Macon and
Atlantic will be completed to this city
within that time, and it is not at all i'm
probable that the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery will finally determine to have
a line of its own to the seaboard at this point
The opening of the Savannah and Western
and the Alabama Midland has already had
a very beneficial effect upon Savannah's
business. but nothing like what it will
have in the very near future. The demand
for business houses and dwellings is very
great and will be greater within the next
six weeks.
Our merchants may reasonably look for
ward to very busy fall and winter The
prospect is that they will have all the bust
ness they can attend to. The outlook for
Savannah is certainly a very bright one
brighter than at any previous period of her
history. There is no doubt that she is
destined TO be the great commercial city of
the South Atlantic coast.

Reum's Eagle Eve.

Pension Commissioner Raum is a man
who has an eye to business. An instance
which is a striking illustration OF this is re-
lated in the Ctuit-Serrice Chronicle as fol-
lows:
Commissioner Raum looked his own SON.
Green b. Raum, Jr., in the face and formed
a judgment of him. He did not require
him to make an average of rs or SIS or 81
per cent, but he Jumped him off and de-
cided that a suitable place must be made
for this son, and so he created a new di-
vision known as the appointment division,
and put Green b. Raum, Jr, at the head Of
it with the title of assistant chief clerk.
This done, Commissioner Raum again
looked his son in the face and formed a
second judgment of him without requiring
any per cent. As the result of this, he re
moved a woman clerk out of the chief
clerks room, where she had been making
some Sl5 a month in noUary fees, and put
this son in the way of turning an honest
penny with his notary's seal.
Perhaps if Mr.. Raum will look again his
business-ike eye will discover another
opening for his son. That worthy young
man ought to be taken care of, even if
dozen women with dependent families have
to be removed. And, besides, the commits
slouer = meUnOu vi ueteVLlinllE Cle HUneSS
of candidates for places in his office is at
once speedy and comprehensive. Such an
official is certainly valuable man for the
government to have. and congress
must see the extravaganza and useless
ness of maintaining an expensive
civil service system when it has a pension
commissioner with such businesS-like eye
The Raum plan is quick and simple. and
does away with the red tape regulations
an applicant for civil service position has
to comply with. A look from Mr.. Raum
is all that is needed, and of course he will
see to it that none but faithful tried and
trusted republican workers are employed.
