Sir Rutherford Alcock, chairman Of
the British North Dornco company, had
recently a very pleasant report to make
Of tie progress in North Borneo, where
land is being taken up SO rapidly for to-
bacco plantations that they have had to
raise the price from 50 to SO per acre.
Six hundred thousand acres are now laid
down with tobacco, and the crop now
being cut will yield 800 tons. The quality
is said to be superb. \ free grant of
from 1000 to 1900 acres of land is offer
ed to any one who will bring it into cul-
tivation and keep it in that state for
coffee, sugar, sage, hemp, indigo or pep
per. On the whole the report was very
hopeful; but why does Sir Rutherford
Alcock give the revenue Of his company
in dollars? Surely we have not yet come
10 such a pass that the British pound
sterling is to be disused as the monetary
unit in the very heart Of the British en-

There has been great deal of sick.

attributable to the fashionable grippe.

come to Dallas to live. In order to
expedite matters, the fair one bought
and had made an exquisite dress, sent
in her resignation, and told her friends
and acquaintances, (sub rosa of
course) that she WAS shortly TO be
married! With heart iubilant with
expected happiness, she remarked,

Up Go nilIlard Bails.

The news that Emin Pasha had left be-
hind him his load OF ivory has hWi a sur
prising effect upon billiard interests IN
this country. and ito effect may bc soon
felt in further bullipg Of the market
for ss;t ivory used In the manufacture OF
billiard balls. Tho LJicoof billiard balls
was recently advanced TO SOC for a SO. Of
four balls Of standard "a inch measure
mcnt, Il was the last boom Of a slow
rise In price that had been going on for
nearly year, Last year before the I'D
vance set IN a standard set Of balls Of the
best ivory could be bought for S26. Pool
balls were q trilo cheaper, because such
true spheres Of ivory arc not needed in
pool.
The billiard ball manufacturers attrib,
ute the increase TO the war that had
been going on in Zanzibar for year or
more between the Arab traders and tha
natives on the one hand and the German
leaders Of the prutcctorate at Zanzibar
on the other. These costly discussions, |
the manufacturers say, had the effect OF
greatly retarding the expectation of soft
ivory from Africa, and created scarcity |
of good ivory that made the increase in
prices Of billiard balls necessary.
The war in Zanzibar was squelched
some time ago by the Teutonic protect
crate, but the prices Of the billiard balls
have not been depressed correspond
ingly.
Emin Pasha's store OF ivory tusis had
been accommodating for years, and Dr.
Junker estimated two years and "A half
ago that he had about $500, 900 worth OF
tusks. This had probably increased
month by month, but the latest dis
