calssons upon the sandy shoals which
exist at the mouth of nearly all our riv-

the opponents of the bill raised the cry
that ii would create deficiency, and the
friends of the measure very shrewdly
added an amendment to make it obliga-
tory that each State should through its
Legislature agree to take the amount
awarded in full for any claim it might
have against the government because OF
the direct tax. 1t was argued that most
of the States would be unable to comply
with this provision for a year or two, ue-
cause the several Legislatures would not
be in session, but it has proved other
wise, and according to Secretary Foster
two-thirds OF the entire appropriation
will have been paid by May /.

Capt. j. NJ. Holmes left his home last
week for New York, from whence he will
start on his sixty-second voyage around
Cape Horn, He has the reputation
among seafaring men of having made
the trip around Cape Horn more times
than any living man, and if the captain
keeps his word he will reach the century
mark on the trips before he retires. This
time he is bound for the Golden Gate,
and will probably not be seen az his
home for year or more. He is captain
and principal owner Of the proud ship
Charmer, which has weathered many
gales and brought him safely around the
treacherous Horn over sixty times. Cor.

Indeed a Remarkable Criminal.

self August Mailer, was received at the
penitentiary in jefferson City, No, few
days ago on two years sentence from
st. Genevieve county for obtaining prop
erty under false pretenses He is prob
ably 70 years old, and has commenced
serving his eleventh term in the Missouri
penitentiary. He first came here in 1896
and, with the exception of year that
he spent in Jail in Illinois, he has never
been out of this penitentiary but a few
months at a time since He is known at
the prison as Dutch Charley" No one
knows his right name or anything of his
antecedents. He is monumental liar
and rarely ever tells the same story twice.
He has been sentenced every time for
working some kind of a confidence game,
and even while in the penitentiary has
piled his vocation on yerdant guards and
amateur detectives with more or less
success.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
