BOARD OF TRADE MOVEMENT.
The Improvement of the Christiana
Needs Conversational Aid.

Needs Congressional Aid.
The National Board of Trade meets
in Washington, on January 23d. At
the annual meeting of this body topics
are taken up for discussion which have
been brought before the board six weeks
previously from local boards all over
the country. If the topic advanced by
local board meets with the spproba-
ton of the national members the latter
memorializes Congress calling its atten-
legislation upon the matter.
The topic proposed by the Whining
ton Board OF Trade is embodied in the
following resolutions:
WHEREAS, The Delaware river is one of
the greatest natural water-courses of this
country, and the Christiana river is one of
its largest tributary streams, and empties
into the Delaware at the distance Of 60
miles from the sea and four miles above
the head of the Delaware bay; and
WHEREAS, All Improvements to the
Delaware and Christiana rivers would be
OF the greatest assistance and advance
ment to the material interest and pros
perity of a very large and thickly popu-
lated extent Of territory now be it
Resolved, That the National Board of
Trade respectfully urges upon the atten-
ton of Congress the advisability and actual
necessity of much needed improvements
to the channels of these rivers.
1t is desired to hold public meeting
in the Board of Trade rooms, probably
the first Thursday in January, when
the whole subject will be discussed. II
is expected to have the active CO.
operation of the Philadelphia Board of
Trade in the movement.
The special committee of the local
Board of Trade having charge of the
matter is w. f. Smalley, Jr., William
D. Mullen, William Lawton, Daniel w.

manufactures which have shown our
capacity to produce cheaper than any
other country, such as pig copper ana
the more important agricultural impie-
ments.
In adjusting duties upon what may
be called the finished products we have
tried to impose such rates as will not de-
stroy or distress any of our home indus
tries on the one hand, nor on the other
secure to them an oppressive monopoly
of the home market. For this rule we
have the recognized authority both OF
wcll.known and leading tariff reformors
and of those who in days past were con-
sidered moderate protectionists.

AN ABANDONED MONKEY.
How Jerry Succeeded in acquiring
Stiff Jags.


Stiff Jags.
Jerry, the little gray monkey that
chambers around the windows of
saloon near the entrance to the Golden
Gate park and makes faces at the pas
sengers on the cars, is dying, says the
San Francisco Examiner.
When Jerry first came to the saloon,
mere yOungster, he was sober, re-
spectacle monkey, but in little while
he developed fondness for strong
drink, and at times he would indulge
his appetite to excess. He grew so
bibulous that he was constantly on the
lookout for stiff drink, and many
night reeled off TO his bed by the fire as
drunk as any man.
In the morning Jerry would crawl out
from his bed with all the symptoms of
a heavy debauch. At such times he
would be cross and ugly until he had
laid the foundations for another load OF
bourbon. Then, with steadied nerves
and bracing appetite, he would grow
quite jolly and mpanionable.
When he was married, about nine
months ago, to Midget, Jerry behaved
himself for time, but when the honey
moon had worn away he returned to his
cups, and it was noticed by his friends
that he drank harder than ever. His
sprees were more protractcd, and he
became moody, occasionally breaking
out in violent OutburSts of anger and
beating his wife. A few weeks ago he
bit her tail off. Scarcely a day went 10y,
so his friends say. that ne did not crawl
away to bed roaring drunk, only to
begin again each morning.
The inevitable came at last. w hiskv
and late hours had SO wrought upon
Jerry's nerves that a short time ago he
fell victim to delirium tremens, and
his actions told plainly of the horrible
things he thought he saw. If he could
talk he would doubtless tell OF blooi-
colored, four-headed dogs and other
awful things. In due time he recovered,
but his constitution had been under
mined. A severe cold was contracted.
which was followed by a hacking cough.
He grew rapidly worse, and now it is
only matter of time until he must go
the old way. >
Maybe he realizes that the end is not
far off, for he drinks steadily, though
his sprees are not SO violent as they
were. His friends at one time suggested
the gold cure. but it was felt that his
health was ruined, and that, being only
monkey, he might just as well ole.
