City Creditors Enter judgement Against
the Ice and Coal company-The Cause.
The Kennebec Ice and Coal Company of
Wilmington has failed with liabilities
amounting to over 500 000 Matters
were brought to an Issue several days
ago when E. r. Walton entered iudc-
ment for $40. 900, and Henry O. Robin
son. tae broker at Fourth and Market
streets, took similar action ia the sum Of
$37 GOO
The matter was kept quieT, but it
leaked ont late yesterday afternoon and
created much surprise among those who
were not familiar with the business
affairs Of the company
TIE failure was precipitated by the
downfall Of the house Of 3, B Nease, Son

extensive dealings with the home com
pany. H. G. Robinson says she compli-

OiIIng The YentrlIoauIst.

During sea voyage ventriloquist
made friends with the engineer of the
ship, and was allowed 10 enter the en-
gine room, says London lid Bits. He
took a seat in the corner. and pulling
his hat down over his eyes appeared to
be Loss in reverie. Presently GER
tain part Of the machinery began to
squeak. The engineer oiled 1t, and
went about his usual duties. In the
course Of few minutes the squeaking
was heard again, and the engineer
rushed, oil can in hand, 20 lubricate
the same spindle. Again he returned
10 his post, but II was only few min
utes until the same old spindle was
squeaking louder than ever.
"Confound the thing!' he yelled.
1T ID bewitched!"
More oil was administered. but the
engineer began 10 be suspicious as to
its cause. Soon the spindle began 70
squeak again, and, slipping up behind
the ventriloquist, the engineer squirted
half pint Of oil down the ioker's
back.
There" said he. that spindle

streets and noticed in a shop window

There was nothing so very strange in
that, but on making inquiries ] learned
that that particular beef had been put
up in Japan. That's where the imita-
ton came in. Some years ago Ar
mour's product found its way out there,
and after using it a while the Japs
thought they could can beef also. And
80 they did. Armour's beef pack has
been initiated down even TO the label,
10 such degree that it is difficult to
detect the difference. ] heard of an
other instance. Several years ago a
certain glass product made in Germany
was sold extensively in Japan.
Through government officials an inno-
cent request was made TO the Germany
manufacturers 20 allow three or four
Japanese workrnen In their factory.
The request was granted. The arti-
sans spent year or two in Germany,
and to-day Janpan Is selling the same
article 10 the Germans at much less
cost than they can produce it. Those
obliging Germans have had their busi-
ness ruined, and their factories have
long since stopped running"

MISSED THE "BRAwsEs."
A Story Told on smart EngIishman In
America.


A good story is told at the expense
OF one Englishman who came 10 this
country with the British and German
steel manufacturers last October The
American system Of checking trunks
seems to have puzzled the foreigners
not little, and when the party ar
rived at New York they had among
them fully $500 pieces OF baggage.
Here their difficulties commenced.
After doing the cities along the
Atlantic coast, in which the baggage
got into a terribly mixed state, the
party returned to New York. preceding
the Pittsburg trip. At the latter point
but 400 pieces Of baggage had arrived
during the first two days. The entire
outfit was wrathy, and the male por-
tion heartily cursed the railroads and
all things American.
But the crlelest thing happened to
a young Britisher. By mistake he
had checked his boxes" through 70
Chicago from New York. At Pitts
burg he was in a sorry plight. No bag
gage but small handbag 10 dress
from during the four days visit. Upon
arriving at the Auditorium be was in
high state Of perturbation.
Have me bawIes arriyed" said he
TO the clerk.
'HeyP"
ME bawxes."
''Eh! o, your trunks. Front! Find
the gentleman's trunks
They were not TO be found. The
clerk suggested that they might be at
the station. He would send for them
next trip.
"Cawn't wait" growled the English
man. 1--WE been a week without me
bawxes. I'll go myself.
A cab was called, and with tip TO
cabby to Jingle off quick, now, ," the
station was soon reached.
Have you me bawxes here?" said
he to the agent.
'.Huh?n

zled answer; "bless me stars! Cawn't
understand! ="
HI, man, yer of! Want yer

he explained showing a check.
20! it's me brawses you want. I
locked them in me bawxes. I'll have

lated the baggagemsn. Say! you

As everybody knows, says the Wash
ingtOn Post, when visitor applies for
admission to Girard College in Phila-
delphia the guard in attendance asks
him II he Is a clergyman, and II so
he is turned away, for by the will Of
Stephen Girard no clergyman shall en-
ter the place. A naval officer who Wis
tied the city recently went 10 the col
lege and asked TO be admitted. He
was dressed In black clothes, wore
white tie and had his face smoothly
shaven, which altogether gave him the
appearance Of being a par5On, and the
guard politely informed him that he
could not enter.
Why not?n he asked. Indignantly.

Causes Of Dyspepsia.

When it Is said Of man he is a
dyspeptic, people wonder II his wife
writes novels or votes, says the Atchi-
son Globe.
After reading the above paragraph
interviewed the wives OF three OF the
worst dyspeptics / know, says Mary +.
Donley in the Woman's Standard.
The first one has seven children.
She said: II am so busy with my
household duties, for John never thinks
of hiring a days help for me, that do
not go to church more than once or
twice Il year. and never think OF taking
time to read, not even a chapter in the
Bible"
Wife second has eleven children and
has devoted so much Of her time 10
cooking that she has not been 10 the
county seat Of her county in fifteen
years and has forgotten how TO write
her own name.
Dyspeptic third has a wife who has
been beautiful, Is refined and educated.
He is beastly drunkard. When
asked her IL she read much and what
she thought about suffrage for women,
she replied: Il don't read much, and
have so little heart or mind left after
twenty-five years OF sorrow and care, /
don't care much for what goes on
around me, but II voting means less
drunkenness. less heartaches, less sor-
row and woe. say lose no time in
securing the ballot for women.
After these three had borne testi-
mony diverse to the opinion Of the
Globe editor, / concluded he must be a
dyspeptic himself, whose wife at some
time In her life had written a story or
voted In literary society.
