ALMOST A MUTINY.
The Pets Of The British Army Refuse to
Obey Orders.

LONDON. July 22.-Truth to-day prints
another startling story of mutiny in the
British Army. which it claims occurred in
the Second Battalion of the Coldstream
Guards, quartered in Wellington Barracks,
near Buckingham Palace, where incident
ally it furnished the guard of honor during
the recent visit Of Emperor William. 1t
seems that the extra duty thus necessitated
was far from pleasant to the guardsmen,
who long have been the pets of the British
Army. After the departure of the Emperor
the guards expected day of freedom from
guard mounting for recuperation. The men,
however, were ordered on parade duty, and
as usual in full marching order. AS re-
suit they became sullen and unmanageable,
the first and third companies at first blunty
refusing to parade.
The officers of these companies held a
hurried consultation, not liking the pros
poets of a term of exile similar to those the
Second Battalion of Grenadier Guards was
subject to at Bermuda As result they
argued the matter with the privates, hold
ing up to them the prospects of exile from
England. The privates finally, but sullrnly,
consented TO parade. but their behavior be-
came so glaringly insubordinate that the
officers marched them back to the barracks
and ordered the commands confined for
three days as punishment. Ten of the
senior prlyates were also placed under ar
rest for INSTRUMENTATION. Ninety of the
Guard smen thereupon barricaded them
selves in a room of the barracks, refusing
to emerge until their ten comrades should
be guaranteed the same treatment as the
others. General Harding was finally called
IN ana by ludlclOus speech succeeded in
quieting the men. The significance of the
Eutinous sent timent can be judged when it
is understood the GUARDS are the oldest
corps III the army with single exception.

AN ECCENTRIC MAN.

He Was Buried In a Coffin That He Made
for Himself
Uncle Jared Wharton, an eccentric char
acter of Forks Township, died recently at
the age of 81 years. He hated music and he
stayed in church only while the sermon was
being preached, because he said, the sing
ing irritated him. Several years ago the
congregation bought an organ, and after
that he never entered the church. The old
man had been tonthless for forty odd years,
and whenever his friends urged him to buy
some artificial teeth for himself he declared
that the Lord would cause natural teeth to
grow in his mouth before he died.
In the summer time Uncle Jared went
about his place barefooted. When it rained
he visited the neighbors, and as he plodded
along the muddy road from house to house,
he had his trousers rolled to his knees and
an old cotton umbrella over his head. He
seldom wore a hat in hot weather, and his
white hair was strong and thick when he
died. Many years ago the old man made
coffin for himself out of two-inch white oak
planks. The handles were made of horse
shoes that had been worn by a mare of
which he was very fond. The gentle beast
was killed by stroke Of lightning, and the
old man buried her under a tree where she
had fallen. He desired to have her shoes
buried with him, and SO he nailed them to
his heavy coffin.
A few months ago Mr.. Wharton lined his
coffin with fox skins, the sly animals from
which they came having been shot by him
self. He often expressed wish that a
bear-skin robe belonging to him should be
placed under his head in the rough oak box,
and that his own sons should act as bearers
Some of the old mans relatives advised the
sons to get decent coffin, but their advice
was not taken. Every wish of the aged
dead man was carried out to the letter.. and
on beautiful afternoon last week the &C.
centric nonogenaran was laid to rest in his
Oaken casket.-ScrantOn Republican.

Dishonest Methods Of Corporations Denounced
by an Attorney-General.
INDIANAPOLIS. July 22.-The most scath-
ing opinion ever issued from the Attorney
Gen erals Office was sent to the State Board
of Tax Commissioners by Attorney General
Smith in relation to the Atkins Saw Works.
In the course of his opinion the Attorney
General says: "The evidence of Nj. A. Pot
ter, representative of E. c. Atkins & Co.,

po1ation is worth $500. GOO in paid-up capital.

Mr.. Potter stated that three fifths Of the
company's property was out of the State,
and the board fixed the assessment at $780,
0OO, and submitted 10 this man, when lie said
that, as to the property of c. 4. Atkins &
Co. that is out of the State, it was none of
their business, as on that amount no tax
would be paid in Indiana. The conclusion
is that this great aggregation OF wealth has
SO far escaped its fair share of the burdens
OF taxation, and every circumstance tends to
fasten in the mind the unwilling impression
that deceit, If not dishonesty, was near at
hand when this work was done 1t is dis

PARIS, July 22.-The Associated Press
correspondent here has been making in
quiries of the various Chambers of Com
merce in France as to the present feeling
concerning the Mckinley tariff and as to
whether this feeling will affect the French
exhibits at the Chicago Worlds Fair. The
Vice-President of the Chamber of Com
merce of Anglers said that the chamber had
passed a resolution not long ago declaring
that the new tariff law tended to render
very difficult, II not imnossible, all trade
between France and the United States.
The Secretary OF the Chamber of Com
merce of Rheims said: For the present at
least the Mckinley bill is an obstacle to the
participation of our manufacturers in the
Chicago exhibition, but If within a reasona-
bic length of time a friendlier spirit is
shown by the American Republic for our
productions the chamber will then be ready
TO second the Minister'S effortS.'
The President of the Chamber of Com

tariff has produced most unfortunate i'm

drawn from Portugal. From the beginning
Of August, however, the drain will diminish.
The principal payments, including those for
American wheat, having already been met,
the importers are also canceliing the COM
missions for the pound sterling. Portu-
gueSe gold and silver have almost disap-
peared. The Financial Munster, Carvalho,
intends to remodel the monetary system on
the basis of the coinage of silver pieces of
1000 reis, absorbing the credit voted for this
purpose amounting tot 1900 centos of reis.
The Government hopes to ameliorate its
position by treaties of commerce with South
American states, making Lisbon the natural
depot for Europe. The Treasury account
is improving under the recent economics
and under the monopoly in alcohol. but a
great financial operation is an absolute
necessity, as the deficit for the current year
is estimated at ST.. .000 900.
