London (England) Truth says: In
view of the alarming dearth of seamen
for the fleet, the admiralty have decid-
ed to gradually increase the blue-jack.
ers by the entry of 5000 boys in the
training ships. Now, as a matter Of
fact, the admiralty have received re-
port from the gunnery establishment,
in which it is stated that fully 10000
additional seamen-gunners alone will
be needed to man our feet in 1894.

The Philadelphia Record observes

The Philadelphia Record observes
that there seems to be a general tend
ency among large American cities to
annex the surrounding places. Gin
cinnati wants its population increased
from 29G,0j to 374. 573 in that way.
The proposition to include all the ter
ritory within ten miles of Boston in
one metropolitan district has begun to
be agitatcd with more or less earnest
ness. That would give Boston popu.
lation of nearly 100000.

"The rayapes of timber cutters are

"The ravages of timber cutters are
worse in the Adriondacks of New
York than in the Sierra in this State"
asserts the San Francisco Chronicle.
..Here," it continues, "there is
largo body of mountain
timber which is safe from
the sawmils because it is inaccessible,
but in the north woods of New York
access is easy. The chief demand
within the last two years has been for
spruce timber to use in the manufac-
ture of white paper, and more than
100, 200 acres of fine spruce timber in
the st. Regis country have been
stripped within three years. An ex-
pert estimates that in five years the
spruce will be scarce in the mountains
which are now thickly clothed with
it. 1t is evident from this that forest
preservation needs as close care in
New York as in California, since the
stripping Of these mountains in the
Adirondack country means the drying
up of the springs that supply the Hud-
son river, one of the most picturesque
streams in this country"

uWith all its business commission

"With all its business commissions,
1890 was great year for the COIN
MERGE Of our country" confesses
the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. 1--WE sent to foreign nations
$50, 517. $50 more than we did in 1889,
and yet 1889 was called a prosperous
business year. We imported $685.
1851 more than in 1880. Along
with all this we sent abroad upward
of fo-ty-one millions less of gold and
silver than in the preceding year."

army that death follows desertion. \
deserter was lately shot who got away
year ago, and had Travelled 1000

paid S20,0 900 sooner than let him get
away. Over so, 900 soldiers were as

FORTUNES IN SANDWICHES.
A Wealthy Blonde Gentleman Who Used to
DO o Bowery Waiter.

~
DO q Dowery Waiter.
1t was in one of these resorts that I
saw an elaborate blonde gentleman with
broad-striped shirt, shrieking hectic, yell
low gloves, and waxen mustache, writes
New York correspondent. He is one
of those omnipresent men that haunt me
wherever l go. He is always at the
races, at all the theatrical first nights,
and whenever 90 to O cafe for dinner
he is pretty sure to be at the next table.
He seems to be burdened with money.
do you know him 2" 1 asked of my
companion.
Not exactly" replied my friend, "but
/ know of him, and he is character.
He acts, think, as very good exam
pie of what New York can do for o man
of soundly practical ideas. As you say,
he is burdened with money-literally
so. In view of this it is somewhat sur
prising to know that he was waiter in
q Bowery restaurant eight years ago.
How did he make his money!" |
"By selling sandwiches-ham, roast
beef, tongue and cheese sandwiches.
From such unromantic fields has his
wealth been dug. l will tell you just
how it all happened. AS have saids
the fellow was Bowery waiter at one
time. The cuisine at the restaurant
where he worked was not of the Del.
monico order by any manner of means.
and there was probably more kicking
done there than we have heard tell Of
in Harlem boarding houses. One day
c man entered the place whose appear
ance denoted that he was from choicer
neighbOrhood than can be found in the
purlieus of the Bowery. He was in
hurry and wanted quick bite He
ordered soup and one Of the ready made
dishes. Neither of these could he pos
sibly eat. The waiter, now a driver Of
tandems. eyed his customer as he turned
away from the unpalatable food, and
suggested that he might make him q
pretty good sandwich if the gentleman
wished it. There was a good bit of ham
in the place, he said, and the bread was
eatable bakers stuff. =
The customer assented, and the
sandwich was so neatly made and was so
palatable, considering the ordinary ma
terials forming it, that the waiter was
complimented by the gentleman, who
at the same time advised the young fel.
low to open up shop in good neigh
borhood and to make a specially Of
sandwiches. The idea struck the waiter
with full force, and it was very short
time after this that he started his first
shop in factory neighborhood. BUSH
ness was brisk at once, and the following
year the man had sandwich emporiums
fourishing in all parts Of the city. He
has made fortune, has invested his
profits shrewdly, and can at this mo-
ment be called man of sound business
judgement. Like most men of his ori-
gin he is loud in his attire and is given
to sping the fashionable SET Ishouldn't
be bit surprised to see his children, if
he has any, figuring among the 400.
And, after all, how can q man make
money more honorably than in minis
tering to the humble and hard working
stomsch?"

General Fisk's Consistency.


A contributor to the Independent
tells this story of General Fisk.
When, as a Brigadier. General, the
General was in command of the mill.
tary district of st. Louis, it became
his duty, on one occasion, officially to
receive and welcome to take command
of the military department, General
Fisk accompanied by an aide-de- camp,
met his commander on the east side of
the river-there was no bridge then
and escorted him with his aide
de-camp, across the river by ferry and
to the hotel in which he had engaged
a suite of rooms for him.
AS soon as they were within the
parlor, at once assuming the place
of host and ready to treat the other
officers as his guests, the Major. Gen
eral ordered a servant to bring four
whisky punches. "Only three, if you
please; General, excuse me" prompt
ly and courteously spake General
Fisk.
You'll not refuse TO drink
with me, will you!' said the superior
officer.
IF should drink now, it would be
the first time; you would not advise
me to beGIn now, would you. Gener-
ala"
"No. God bless you! Long may
you wave!' was the gracious and
gallant response.
