4 Russian Relilgcc.

NEW York, July 14-Isracl Pinkus,
tall, handsome Russian Hebrew, origi-
nally from the neighborhood of Odessa,
taxed the resources of the money brok-
ers at the Barge Office today by offer
ing them $17,500 in Russian currency
to change. Israel is we'll educated,
rearly GO years old, and dressed like
city bred person. He says that nearly
half of the steerage passengers on the
steamship Fuerst Bismarck, OH which
he came from Hamburg, we're Russian
refugees. He was grain merchant,
and had accumulated about $40 600,
when he was ordered to leave the coun-
try. Once BEFORE in 1882. he had re.
ceived similar order, and. as he was
unable to comply with it within the
twenty -four hours allotted him. all his
property was confiscated and he had to
begin work all over again. This time
his house and his clothing were searched
by officials of Odessa, who knew he was
prosperous They did not find his
money, as he Ii d transferred it to one
of his five brothers. They were searched
one by one. The money went from
house to house, and finally came back
in tact to Isreal. All the family then
left Russia. Israel says he is going
west to purchase land. and that he will
settle on it and send for his brothers
and their families.

Welsh Tiu-plnte Mills Closed.

LONDON, July 14.-There are 80 tin
plate factories in Wales, and 60 of these
have suspended work. This was the
result of joint agreement. So much
tin-plate had been rushed over to es-
cape the operation of the Mckinley law
that the American market was over
stocked. The present movement is an
effort to relieve the market, so as to raise
prices. This had disastrous result,
raising the prices to such point as to
induce Americans to build their own
factories. On the first of next month
the owners will decide whether their
factories will be opened or not. Many
are in favor of flooding the American
market and keeping prices so low as to
discourage home efforts at manufactur-
ing. Several manufacturers have sent
agents to the iron regions of Alabama to
investigate the advisability of putting
up tin. plate works there. Thirty thous.
and Welshmen thrown out of work ore
eagerly awaiting the result.

the truthful mariner, as he knocked
the ashes out OF his pipe, s ,you re.
member the old steamer Roustahout
that used to run from Buffalo to Chi
cago? was mate on her the year
before she was lost. We were about
sixty miles out of Chicago when Nike
flanagan, who was doing something
on the mast fell, struck his head ON
the roof of the cabin, and bounced
clean out into the lake. Well the
captain he see him fall, and he stopped
and backed that old Roustabout
quickr'n you could say 'Scat!' Mike
went down like a plummet, for he was
knocked insensible, and / know'd
there was no use to heave q life pre-
server for him, SO just hurried up
the boys in getting the boat down,
although l didn't expect it 'ud do
much good. We had Jim King on
board. Passenger from Chicago.
You remember Jim King, don't
you?"
Cant say that do," remarked q
bystander.
"Well, Jim was the championquoit
thrower in those days. He's dead
now, poor fellow, but Jim was hoss
on throwingquoi Itell you quoits
We're a great game in them days.
Every village had II quoit club and
the boys on the farms used to throw
hoss shoes. 1t was something like
baseball i'll these times, although I
never could see as much fun in base
ball as could in good game of
quoits."
ooh, come off" cried the eimpatient
listener. "What did Jim do, or did
he do anything? Did the, man
drown?'
"Now, don't be fly. Who's tellin'
this yarn?"
"Well, you don't seem to be-"
eco on! Go onr' said the crowd.
We'll, you know, in quoits q
ringer was when you put the quoit
around the stake. Itcounted double.
Well, Jim lie picks up the round lie
preservcr-it's like a great big quoit,
you know-and as the cap'n came
running ait, i'm sings out: 'Cap'n,
I'll bet you So I'll make a ringer on
that man if he comes up within the
length OF this line.'
"Bet you $50 you can't said the
cap'n.
"Take you,' said Jim, and just at
thet mint up bobs Mikes head about
sixty feet nstern. Jim threw it. and
I'll be burned if that life preserver
didn't go plump over on Mikes head
clear down boot and there it stuck.
We got down a boat and when we
got to Mike he hadn't come to yet,
and didn't for some time a. ter. He'd
been goner if it hadn't bin fur that
ringer, although it took the skin Of
fen his nose"
"Did the captain pay the $2O?"
"Pay it, You just bet he did. And
Jim he handed it over to Mike, and
Mike blew it all in when we got to

Favorable Change in Army Regulations

Favorable Change in Army Regulations
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Ever since
public and official attention was directed
to the subject of the frequency of deser-
tions from the army, year or so ago,
there has been determinel effort on
the part of the authorities to improve
the quality of the material with which
the service was recruited in the belief
that in this lay remedy for the grave
evil for which cause Was so diligently
sought. Extra endeavors were made to
secure young men who sought the army
as profession rather than q haven of
refuge. and to this end efforts of recruit
ing officers have been systematically
turned away from cities toward the coun-
try. The new system has just begun to
SHOW IT FRUITS,
and is more than justifying the expecta-
tions Of those who inaugurated it An
officer Of the adjutant generals depart
ment who has charge of the work, re-
markell recently; 1--WE are having good
luck with our late recruits, and think
the army is today composed of better
class of people than ever before. We
have abandoned the city field almost
entirely for the country, where we are
more apt to find vigorous young men
free from contamination of the rough
life Of towns, eager to do we'll and to
wear chevelans. Such men make good
soldiers-far better than the old, hard
ened toughs who come out of the slums
to enlist as the last resort or as the
means of drowning their identity.
