SUNDAY CONVERSATIONS.

Interesting Telegraphic Paragraphs Con-
densed From Yesterdays "Reglster."
Julio Foster, the agent of the Con-
gressional party In Chilli, was seen by
an Associated Press reporter in Wash
ington Saturday and said that the Con-
gresSional Government will let Balma-
ceda go, now that it has de-
feated him. 1.-THE worst punishment
that can be given him." he said,
twill be to make him an outcast,
an exile, q wanderer on the face
of the earth, branded like Cain. Bal
maceda is an intensely proud man. He
believes he is better capable to conduct
a govern ment than any one else. He
wanted to prove that, and has failed.
We know all this, and we know how
to punish him. Punishment from Chilli
will be living death for him. As to
those with him, the leading men will
fly away for a time, but after while
all will come back and be forgiven.
The COngreSSionalists are not blood
thirsty. All we want is the re-estab-
lishment of the old constitutional gov
eminent, not revenge. l am confident
that there will not be single execu-
ton" Richard L. Trumbull, who was the
agent for the Itata, is TO appear for tri al
in San Francisco in afew days, was seen
In New York city Saturday by re-
porter. He said that in his opinion
this victory ended the war. He said
that be thought that Balmaceda would
fly the country at once.

by the family OF the late Baronne Bari
Vetzera, who was found shot to death,
together with her lover, Rudolph,
Crown Prince Of Austria, at Mayerling,
on the 5Oth Of January, 1889. The pam

as an historical document. Briefly

WOMAN,s HATE.

The Wasp.
81 hate you, hate you'll" the maiden said,
And her eyelids dfOoped and her face grew red
And she turned from her lover and hung hel
head.
The flush crept up to her rich brown hair,
And she plucked 10 pieces rosebud fair,
AS she stole glance al her lover there.
And he, these men are so full OF guile;
His eyes a glistening with mirth the while,
Looked calmly on, with doubling smile
IT hate you, l hate your she said again.
And she tapped her toe on the carpet then,
AS il each tap we're q stab at men.
Her lip was a-quiver, her eyes in mist,
Her cheek and throat, as the Sun-gOdS kissed,
Were bathed in the essence OF amethyst.
And then her love- with a startled look,
Grew serious quite, and his face forseok,
The confident glow which it erstwhile took.
And, "Oh, very well, as he rose to 60;
And IL it pleaseS you to have It so,
Why, 50 it shall be-, as you doubtless know"
He took one step. but a sudden turned;
Oh, much the sweetest is bliss unearned;
And looked in the-wet eyes that yearned.
No word she spoke, but her arms entwined
Around his neck. Oh, a womans mind
Is a puzzle, to which no key you'll find.
Upon his shoulder she laid her head,
And he kissed her cheek, which was still rose
"You know hate YOU" was all she said.

GREAs1Na THE GRowLER.
A Trick by Which Its Operators Got Good

A Trick by Which Its Operators Got Good
Measure for a While.
Philadelphia Record.
The ''growler rushers" all over Phila-
delphia, and notably in the vicinity Of
Lombard and South streets, by an in
genious scheme have succeeded in out
whiting the willy saloon keepers for a
couple of weeks past. About two weeks
ago the saloon keepers noticed wonder
full and new characteristic concerning
the beer they had on draught. One night
about that time a stalwart negro, black
as a coal, came into saloon with a
pitcher nearly big enough to hold a keg
Of beer and called for ''ten cents wuff."
The barkeeper eyed the pitcher for a
moment, and then proceed to draw the
beer. To his surprise the beer would
not foam in the lively manner which
heretofore had been its principal char
acteristic. No amount Of shaking and
sloshing around would make the amber
colored beverage assume a frothy APP
pearance, and before the barkeeper
could realize it the pitcher was brim-
ming full. The negro remarked in an
off-hand manner:
dat beer done looks dead an fiat,
but laik dat kline mahself."
With that the barkeeper handed him
the pitcher, and the grinning darkey
walked out Of the room. He was met
Just around the corner by half dozen
other dusky citizens, all carrying pitch
ers, and at Oncs divided up.
1t was noticed that the beer immedl-
ately came to life when 1t was poured
out of the big pitcher, and the colored
rascals laughed immoderately as the
creamy foam ran down the sides OF the
vessels they were carrying. Directly
after this another customer walked into
the same saloon, and the beer was found
to draw all right.
Here was mystery indeed, and 1t
took two long weeks to solve 1t. The
saloon keepers in the vicinity always
noticed that the beer would not foam
when put into pitchers carried by GER
tain colored individuals. As result
these same persons got about fifty cents
worth Of beer and paid only ten cents
for it.
AS investigation was started, as the
saloon keepers knew that some trick
was being played upon them. No solu-
tion was arrived at, however, until Fri
day, when a colored man under the in
fuence Of liquor told how the scheme
had been worked.
1t seemed that the plan consisted
in simply greasing the inside of the
.growler" with butter or piece of
fat meat. When this is done no amount
OF gas or agitation will put the proper
head on beer. The discoverer OF Il reaped
a rich harvest by selling the secret Of
it to other 'growler workers" and, as
a result, the saloon-keepers have been
victimized.

Wool.
Brddetreef'a

There is a fair movement in most do
nestle grades Of wool in all Eastern
markets. A large amount of Ohio and
Michigan woods has change hands dur
ing the week. An Indication Of the
preference given to Ohio and Michigan
woods is the falling off of the sales Of
territories. California woods are in bet
ter demand, and Texas woods are selling
well. Pulled woods are in strong re-
quest, but the supply is limited. and
this restricts buying. There is still
very little doing in carpet woods.
