Now we learn that German Prince has
left Berlin and his creditors with the inten-
tion of offering himself and his title for sale
to the American heiresses. If some measures
are not taken this unregulated competiti
for the sale of foreign titles will utterly de-
moralize the market. According to all the
trust theories there is an evident necessity
for a combination in titles.

ePoss1BIY the Government, in loaning

credit of 500, ,0oO, 900 to the Nicaragua Canal
projectors, may be able to take security tina t
the money will be economically and wisely
expended. But there is in experience small
warrant for such an expectation" says the
Philadelphia Record Our cotemporary's op-
position to the canal job is well-founded, but
it puts the case too mildly. When the engi-
neer's estimate of $4,000, 600 to 900 for
the cost of the canal is contrasted with the
proposed Government guarantee of 100000
600, and big tank of water in the stock on
top of that, there is no chance that the en-
terprise on such a basis can be anything but
q scheme of plunder.

How a Union City Lawyer Got Even Will

How Union City Lawyer Got Even With
Friends Who Dined at His Expense.
ERIE, Dec 15.-F. NJ McClintock, lawyer,
of Union City, was in Erie and dined at the
Reed House. Soon after he had registered
for dinner, c. S. Olmstead, of Cory, and J..
w. Sproul, of Union City, came in. Seeing
McC's name, they winked slyly at the clerk,
and registered, af11xing to their autographs
tlse words. "with McClintock," so that the
bill of the party would be charged to the
latter.
McClintock when coming to the counter
saw through the joke. He paid the bill with
out protest. Then he went forthwith to the
office OF the Poor Directors, where he filed
an application in regular form, setting forth
that C. S. Olmstead and j. W. Sproul are
destitute and without visible means of sup
port, "and being relative of said parties,
j. e., a brother (n-law), do most respectfully
pray that an order of relief be at once issued
by your honorable Board of Poor Directors "
The petition was granted and an order
made out for the commitment of Sproul and
Olmstead to the almshouse, and there was
some tobacco burned at their expense about
the Court House.

THE ADMINISTRATIONS CHANGE.

Following closely upon the heels OF the
very positive indications that the admins.
tration and Senator Quay have ceased to
comes rumor from New York that ex.
Senator Platt is no longer to hold the posi-.
ton of fpatronage-dispenser for the State
of New York. For three-and- -three-quar-
ters years of the administration the royal
road to federal office lay through the
favor of Quay in Pennsylvania and Platt
in New York But this, it seems on good
authority, is no longer to be the case.
Quay andhis followers are already marked
for turning down, and New York is given
to understand that others beside Platt will
exercise the controlling influence as to the
appointments in that State.
i this change of base could be taken as
recognition by the administration Of the
fact that Messrs. Quay and Platt have
used the Government patronage in their
various States simply to build up a politi-
cal machine, and that their use of
patronage was a falsification of the
civil service reform pledges of the
President and his party; or as determi-
nation to reform that matter and take the
offices out of politics, it would be strong
point for the administration. But unfor-
tunately no such significance can be at
tached to it.
With regard to Senator Quay, it may be
an open question whether he left the adj
ministratio1 or the administration left
him; but there is no doubt that whatever
changes are made in patronage as result
of the separation will be for the sake Of
political revenge and political discipline.
As to Platt, the trouble is not that he has
used his patronage for the machine but
that the machine has not worked well
enough. The administration quest now is
for man who can use the patronage so
much more successfully than Platt as to
capture New York for Harrison next year
Briefly the showing of the cold shoulder
to Platt and Quay is not warning to
office-holders that they must keep out of
politics; but it is an advertisement that
they must keep in; that they must work
for the interests of the head of the admin
istration; and that if they do not succeed
in their efforts, their state is parlous. All
of which shows that it is one thing to
make civil service reform pledges, and
quite another thing to keep them.

TO DRAIN A LAKE.
Its Waters Never Give Up the Dead That
Lie at Its Bottom.

Lie at Its Bottom.
NEW YORK. Dec. ia movement is now
on foot in the neighborhood of Hutton Lake
which will, in all probability, solve a mys-
terry and show the cause for a legend which
has attached to that body of water ever
since man has been in this part of the coun-
try. About the middle OF October NJ. B..
Dawson, prominent and wealthy man, fell
into the lake, sank and never was seen again.
The lake was dragged and then a diver was
sent for from San Francisco. who searched
the lake, but gave it as his opinion that the
body was fast in the mud at the bottom.
As there is an insurance of S27, 900 on Daw-
sons life it is necessary that the body should
be recovered. To this end arrangements
have been made to have the lake drained
1t is estimated that this work will cost sl0-
O0o and it will take nearly six months to
complete the task. Engineers have been
figuring on the work, and the contract will
be let at once. The move has attracted the
attention of scientists from all parts of the
country, and it is expected that valuable in
formation will be obtained from the bottom
of the death-trap

the announcement made this morning that
H. j. johnson, contractor, had died at the

undergoing treatment for the liquor habit
Out of the 40 patients not one could be
found to-day who believed that Johnson's
death was attributable to the keely treat
ment.
Superintendent Persons, when seen at the
institute. said that Johnson's death was at
tributable to alcoholism. HE was diving
when they took him there" said Mr.. Per-
sons. DIR. Vandenberg, the physician in
charge, pool-poohed the idea of Johnson's
death having been caused by the treatment.
The doctor said that several causes may
have been productive of Johnson's death,
the most likely and probable one being al
coholism. The doctor said that any patient
who had been strongly addicted to drink
was liable to die while under treatment.

Proceeding down an incline for some

not explore farther and does not know to

pletely. week ago she was thrown from a
car and again fractured the skull at the
same place and forced large piece of the
skull in upon the brain.
She became a raving maniac and in no
way could she be quieted. After she had
been in this condition for some days two
physicians chloroformed her and removed
a piece of the skull as large as silver
dollar. A silver plate was supplied in place
of the bone and the young lady at once
became rational and sat up. Before night
she was going about all right.

is said at the Indian Bureau that this case

fully acknowledged in number of treaties.

WATRRSPOUT AT SEA

The Captain of the British ship
EImbank describes in the S. F.
Call his experience with a water
spout encountered on the voyage
from Newcastle to Sydney:
Early on the morning Of Febru-
airy 9th, while it was hardly day
light, those on deck were startled
by hearing a loud noise, which
seemed to be approaching the ship,
and to their horror beheId q mon
strous waterspout coming straight
for the ship at railroad speed.
The crew were spellbound. De-
struction seemed inevitable and
nothing could be done to avert the
threatened disaster. The watch in
the hunks below were alarmed and
the men quickly came on deck.
Some ran TO lower the boats, but
were stopped by the officers, who
saw that even if the boats were
launched they could not shove of
from the ship in time.
The roar of the advancing water
spout was now deafening and it
was within half mile of the ship,
which was lying becalmed, not
even having steerage way on her.
On came the immense pillar OF
water, squirming and twisting like
a gigantic serpent towering to the
clouds. Ii had approached to
whiting 200 yards of the ship,
when, with crash like a falling
mountain, it burst.
"Hold on for your lives cried
the captain, and the next instant
the ship was struck by the heavy
swell, causing her to roll like an
egg-shell in hurricane off Cape
Horn. Tons OF water came over the
rail and flooded the decks. almost
sweeping the men off their feet.
But the danger was over. and
the crew breathed freer as it began
to clear up the decks and coil up
the ropes thrown from the pins by
the rush Of the immense body Of
water. In q short time every
thing was ship-shape again, and Of
the terrible danger that threatened
the ship the black cloud rolling
away 10 the westward alone re,
manned visible.
