THE NEW EXCELSIOR.
The Law of a Short Fellow.

There are cocktails and cocktails.
The ordinary may do with those that
simply want drink; the 'Manhatton' is
a fine tonic and apetiser: the champagne
is good for those who are tony and want
to spoil good wine, but TO the epicuran
there is only one cocktail the 'Coney
Island. Ward McAllister.
1.-THE shades of night were falling fast"
As in druggists store there passed
A jolly man, who, old and gray,
Said simply this, In quiet way,
'Coney Island"
The druggist took his little glass
And in the cardamom doth pass,
Then came the gentian and the mint
And whisky too without stint,
''Conev Island"
TRY not the glass" friend then said,
Ills strong and goes straight to the
"Ah! it is So" the man replied,
''I'll tell you when the drink I've tried"
''Coney Island"
The old man drank the nectar fine,
1t seem I'D to him drink divine,
And with a smile that's understood
He murmured, "Ah my boys, that's
good"
''Coney Island"
Late on his gallery he lay,
Oblivious of the passing day;
For he enjoyed a pleasant rest
And grateful was to be so blest.
''Coney ISlane."
OF cocktails good there many are,
Search we but here, or search we far,
But in this great and noble land
There's only one that's truly grand.

between these two factions began
two years ago, since which time the
high chief Mataafa, who so nobly
guided his country through the
versities of 1888 and 'S9 during the
absence of King Malietoa in Ger
man prisons has been encamped at
Malie and elsewhere. Malietoa
Laupepa resigned in favor of Ma
taafa, after his return to SOmoa,
but did not stand by the arrange
ment and resumed the rule, where

withdrew from Apia. They have
since refused to recognize Malie-
toa's authority.

was: "Yo need rest, madam" "Oh,

 Reserve Intact.
 NEW YoRk, Aug. S-The currency fam
 he is assuming phase which would be amusing if 1t were not so desperately seri- ous. The banks are incensed against the currency speculators, and the Fourth Ma tional sent to Zimmerman X Forshay, one of the best known brokerage houses in Wall street, asking them to withdraw the account the firm had on deposit with the national bank. The firm in question has been the most prominent in buying with checks the cash which generally goes into the banks. At time when the banks are making strenuous exertions to supply enough small bills to their customers who have payrolls to make up, it augerel them to see money brokers making large profit-l1i to per | cent-by supplying such funds and "cor- nering" the supply of currency afioat to doit.
 To the report that Chicago bankers were making an effort to force New York bank. CTS to send money west comes this dis patch from Chicago:
 The officers of the Stockyards' National bank caused wild sensation when they refused to accept New York exchange from eastern buyers. The action of the bank officials was unexpected, and in speaking of the matter President Doud said: We took limited amount of New York paper today, hut refused consider able because of not being able to sell New York exchange in the city. We said last
 week that affairs were liable to come to this point. It is not right to allow funds to be locked up in the east"

SENATOR SHERMAN.

Springer, McMiliin and ex-Speaker Reed, waited upon the president this forenoon to receive their message. Little else besides listen to the message is expected to be done today.
 At the suggestion of Representative Bourke Cochran in the house a number of it's members, principally the New York delegation, met in the Arlington hotel and informally discussed the best method of securing immediate consideration and fix ing time for taking vote on the silver question.
 No specific proposition will be made to the silver people. but the members of the conference express the hope that an ar rangelnent satisfactory to both sides will be agreed upon. Nothing is to be done looking to this end until after the presi- dents message has been read.
 The conference designated the following gentlemen to take a poll of the house and ascertain its sentiment as to the method and manner of procedure that should be adopted in this matter:
 M-ssr7s Harter, Ohio; Brawley, South Carolina; Hall. Minnesota; Lapham, Rhode Island; Wolverton, Pennsylvania: Geis- seinheimer, New Jersey; Bynum, Indiana; Cobb. Missouri; Raynor, Maryland: Sper. ry, Connecticut; Cochran Tracy, Fitch. Dunphy and Fellows, New York
 These gen: lemen will meet a2ain and re- port the result of their conference with the silver men. and endeavor to agree upon a proposi,io n he made to them regarding the debate and time for taking vote on the question.

 "The most interesting" he said, "are them that nobody don't deal with"
 MT. Bester took another sip from his tumbler and essayed to rest one knee on the other, but found the position for a gentleman of his rotundity uncomfort- and relinquished the endeavor.

Reelly, forgit the name. How ever, that don't matter"
 The door opened softly. but neither of the men noticed it.
 "Very we'll then. Few years ago MT. Bertie Ellenborough Chats this one) knows Miss Whatshername Chats this one), and she loves him and writes him warm, rapturous letters-letters that she would be ashamed now to read, or for anybody else to read. Still, good girl, mind you. MT. Bertie comes up town, forgets her, goes to bad, slips himself off to America and gets worse and worse. He becomes hard up, and what does he do then but blackmail Miss Whatshername.
 Damned scoundrelp' exclaimed Sir Robert heartily.
 "Blackmails her. I happens to go out to trace a chap, and meets Mis- ter Bertie in bar. and he tells me all about it."
 ''Ought to be hangedr' remarked Sir Robert.
 But that isn't the worst. tells him for lark that I'm bit of scamp my self and brags bit, and then MT.

 'So understand" said MT. Bester.
 Poor girl, said Sir Robert. Wonder who her husband is?"
 ''Sir Robert" said a voice. They had not turned on the light, and the room was growing dark.
 My lover he said.
 ''They told me you wanted to see me" !" said Lady Lisburn, "and, my dear, Pm I'm not going. I could not have known what I was talking about just now"

 "Why, absolutely nothing" answered his wife decidedly. "There was no ex- cuse for it..

 Shall I look in again, Sir Robert?" said MT. Bester respectfully. He had been standing aside and pretending, with excellent savoir faire. to look out of the window.
