MITCHELL KNOCKED OUT.
A Bartender and Bottle Too Much for
the EngIishman.

NEW York, Feb. 2O.-Mitchell, the
English pugiIist, visited the saloon of
Jim Wakely, one of Sullivan's former
hackers, early this morning, and tried
to use the methods on the barkeepers
which he SO successfully employed
on old man Savage in London.
Mitchell and his friends drank
freely during the evening, and about
2 o'clock the effects of the liquor
began to tell. He rebuked the bar
keepers for their slowness and called
one man u "stiff" The Americans re.
sented the insult and told Mitchell to
keep quiet. He replied with profanity,
and the barkeeper seized an empty bot
tie and made for him. He struck Nit
chell over the head and drew blood
from his nose, but his friends inter-
fered and got him out of the saloon.
They placed "Gentleman" Charley in q
cab and carried him back to his hotel,
knocked out in one round in the first
fight of his present visit to this country.

SCANDAL LED TO HIS DEATH,
Sudden Demise of Nn Italian Banker
Accused OF Fraud.


ROME, Feb. 20.-Deputy Zerbi, whose
name has been prominently connected
with the bank scandals, is dead. A
committee of the Cham Der of Deputies
recently reported in favor of delivering
Duputy Zerbi to the public prosecutor
to be dealt with in the courts on the
charge of having received large brides to
induce him to support the interests of
the Banca Romano in the legislature.
Zerbi was very much FRUSTRATED by the
charges against him, and is known to
have been physically as we'll as mentally
affected by the prospect of facing a
public prosecution. His death, never
theless, excites surprise similar to
that caused in France by the death of
Baron Reinach. Zerbi was accused of
having received 100000 francs within
three years from the Banca Romano.

The Genuine and the sham

Every good thing has it's host of imita-
tors; every genuine article its counter
feits. The imitators always choose the
most valuable and popular article to
counterfeit, so that when they claim their
sham to be equal, or as good, or the same
as "So-and-So's" the public may depend
upon it that "So-and-So's" article is the
best of the kind. The sham proves the
genuine merit of the thing it copies and
never has this been better illustrated
than by the limitations of ALLCoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs.
ALLCoCK's Porous PLASTER is the
standard Of excellence the world over,
and its imitators in their cry that theirs
is las good as ALLCOCK's So are only empha-
sizing this fact and admitting AL
COCKS" to be the acme of perfection,
which il is their highest ambition to imi-
tate. The difference between the genuine
and these limitations, which copy only
general appearance. is as wide as that be-
tween copper and gold
The only safe way for purchasers is to
always insist upon having ALLCoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs. They are the only
perfect plasters ever produced --ad.

THE BARREL QUESTION.
The Naval Stores Inspection Commit
tee to Report This Afternoon.

A general meeting of the board of
trade has been called this afternoon at 1
o'clock at the board of trade rooms to re-
ceive the report of the committee on in
spection of naval stores relative TO the
guaging of spirits of turpentine barrels.
The investigation by this committee
has been going on some time, and was
taken up on a report to the board of trade
that certain barrels of spirits were being
received which gagged more than
they really held, making barrel appear
to hold from gallon to two gallons more
than was really the case.
The inspection began some six weeks
ago and the committee succeeded in veri-
flying the complaint in several instances.
1t has made up it's report on the subject
and will present it TO the board this af-
ternoon.
What action the members will take
cannot be foretold. The complaint was
directed largely against the manufac-
tuners of barrels, who, il was thought,
made them in this way to secure custom
ers. However, that will be one of the
questions under discussion this afternoon,
and the barrel makers will probably be
requested to see that all of their barrels
are of the standard gauge before ship
ping them.

A VISIT TO THE EMIR.
Some Of the Sights Seen on the Ri
Steamship.


Any one visiting the British steamship
Enir, of the Bedouiu Steam Navigation
Company, Of Liverpool lying at the Cen
trial press, will see something that is not
seen every day in this port.
The Emir is one Of the largest steam
SHIPS that has ever entered the harbor,
ana look at her crew would alone repay
the visit. They are MOhammedans in re-
lglon' and are nearly AL natives of Hin
doostan Most of them have a small
knowledge of English, and being
very good-natured, peaceablc
class Of people, tuey can be
approached by curiosity seekers. Their
quarters are forward, and they
keep themselves aloof as much as posi-
BILE from the Europeans OH board. They
are under the command of three officers
OF their own race, one ''sarang' and two
"tlndales.' These are the same in rank
as boatswain and his two mates. There
are hfty-two MOhammedans on board and
thirteen Europeans, u crew, all told, of
siXty-tive men.
The HindOOs will not eat anything they
have not killed themselves, and for this
reason they are furnished their meat
alive and butcher it on board. They
wash regularly every four hours in fact,
the law of Mohammed like the Mosaic
law, makes perfect cleanliness a
religious duty They live
very cheaply however, rice being their
staple food. and II has been iutimated
that any one of them can live on IA cents
a day. Fresh meats given them twice a
week, aud this they prepare themselves.
Their style of cooking does not differ
from that of the European, however, in
any great respect.
The Emir is 3SS feet in length, 46 beam
and 33 feet in depth and carries $500 tons
dead weight. This, of course, includes
machinery and everything except hull.
In other words, it is gross tonnage. She
is 1000 indicated horse power The
diameter of her cylinders are -, 40. %
inches, and 40 inches; stroke 100 pounds,
broken pressure. Her two boilers are Il
feet in diameter and 16l in length, and
she has twelve furnaces. The Emir con
sumes u tons of coal per day. She sails
Saturday for Liverpool and expects to
make the trip in about fourteen days
Her officers are pleasant gentlemen, and
visitors are shown every nook and corner
Of the shin.
