TWO MORE CRANKs.
One Intends to Enter Some Very Big
Suits.

Salts.
The elections throughout the United
States will occur one week from tomorrow,
and already the so-called presidential crank,
who thinks he has a right to run the affairs
of state, is beginning to appear. He wants
to see the President, of course, and incl
dentally although the rightful owner OF
millions or claimant thereto, he invari-
ably wants assistance from the CHIEF ex-
ecutive, if the assistance is only enough 10
pay expressage on some worthless pack
ages. The last man of this kind to appear
STYLES himself prof" G. j. Walters. He
has spent some time In Atlantic City, where
he was known as king of the Beach"
This unfortunate man is tall, and wears
military coat and naval cap. when ne
could no longer live on the people of At
lantic City he packed up his few belong
ngs and landed them at the depot. He had
them addressed Prof. G.. II. Walters, care
of Grover Cleveland Washington, ID. Z.
Being without funds the representative OF
Adams Express Company refused to checK
them and the Professor" becoming In
suited said he had been injured to the ex-
tent of $1,000, 100000 and he would enter
suit for this amount when he saw the
President.
This all happened several days ago. and 1t
was not until yesterday that he appeared
here. Maj. Moore had been notified In ad-
vance by the Atlantic City authorities that
the man was harmless, anu 50 ne Lett III
uneasiness about him.
Upon his arrival here "Prof." Walters
represented that lie was the mayor OF At
lantic City, and thought he would receive
a royal entertainment But instead OF this
he was taken before Maj. Moore and later
he found himself in a police cell. He. had
on his person several kilograms purporting
to have been sent to him by the President.
He now thinks he will enter suit against
this city.
Richard Bosere is the name Of the other
alleged crank. According to his statement
he left the Pacific coast about the time the
army of tramps started for the Capitol.
Not being a member of one of the so-called
Industrial armies he was under no obliga-
ticns to reach here at any particular time.
Incidentally he imagines he owns an island
in the Pacific ocean, but at present 1t is
covered with water.
He was found the streets Saturday
afternoon by Policeman Hosey. The man
was near 10Th and II streets on his way to
the White House, but just what he wanted
the President to do he did not know.
Sanitary Officer Frank has charge of
these men now, and IL the police surgeons
think 1t safe thing to do they will be
sent back to be cared for by the authorities
of the places where they belong.

West Point Not to Meet Annapolis.

There Is no prospect of a meeting between
the foot ball teams of the Military and
Naval academies this year. inasmuch as
the authorities are not likely to reverse
their decision of last year against such
games. The Question has not come up for
action, and the chances are that it will not,
for the reason that the cadets have not had
the slightest reason to expect the authori-
ties to reverse their order of last year,
which prohibit the cadets from playing
foot ball outside the limits of their respect
i've academies. In other words, they can
play only on their own grounds. This rule
admits of their playing any teams who
choose to visit them, bur viii not admit OF
their playing each other,7

Old English HaIfpeuce.

How many collectors of coins
know anything about the curious
halfpence issue centuries ago by
English authorities-half pence III
the truest sense OF the word, since
they were nothing more thaa
minted pennies cut directly in
half2 Specimens of these coins
have been discovered frequently
among the buried treasures Which
from time to time have been un-
earthed in Great Britain. In Lam
cashire in 1910 were found rare
lot Of coins, among which were
several pennies of the time of
Alfred and Edward divided in this
way.
Similarly divided pence of the
time of Edward the Oonfessor have
been found. and in speaking of the
discovery in 1888 Of number of
these curious haIfpence Of the time
of William the Oonqueror, an un
questioned authority states that
they were probably issued from
the mints that form since the whole
collection had evidently been in
circulation.
In the British museum in Lon
don are specimens of these divided
coins issued under various monarchs
from Alfred to Henry III. An
eminent archaeologist accounts for
the divided coins by saying that
this doubtless arose from the scar
city of small change, which was in
part remedied.

Opium Selling Is Profitable.

Whatever opinions may be held respect
ing the effects of consuming opium, there
seems TO be no doubt that selling it is a
profitable business.
Years ago the house of Jardine, Mathe-
son a. Co. was among the largest inn
porters Of opium into China, and so
enormous were the profits that three of the
partners, by sheer force of wealth, expand
ed into baronets, while a fourth, the late
Mr.. James Jardine of Dryfeholm, became
one of the largest land owners in the south
of Scotland. Sir James Matheson and his
brother, Sir Alexander Matheson, spent
upward of 81 100000 in buying land In
the highlands, and the latter left besides
over a640, ,0O0 Mr.. Magniac, the ex-M.
p. who left 1900, 900. was also member of
this firm. Sir Robert Jardine of Castle
milk is the old head of the firm and prob
ably the wealthiest of them all. Sir Rob
ert does not only own Castlemilk, one of
the finest residences and estates in the
south of Scotland, but 10 years ago bought
up the Rogersons of Wamphray for al20,-
900 and later added the property of Ian.
rick castle, I'm Perthshire, TO his already
great possessions. He could buy up a
score of such places if he so desired.
Dealing in opium Is, of course, only one
branch Of the great firms business, but it
is most important one, and a trade
whether right or wrong which has such
potentialities of profits must, like Tenny
sons half truth, be n hard matter to fight.

The Canadian slcdge Dogs.

Mr.. Cameron, in his talk with Courier
reporter, told of the dogs that are used for
sledging during the winter in the north
west territories of Canada.
Six OF eight dogs are used on each
sledge. They are fed only once in "a
hours, and that Sin tho morning before
the start il made and after the dogs are in
harness. At that time about four pounds
of frozen .ish are given to them. Every
thing must be in readiness for the start,
and the men must look 10 it that they are
at hand TO jump on the sledges, for at the
very instant that the last morsel of fish
disappears the dogs are of at "A brcakncck
speed. Strange as it may seem, the driv-
crs do not dare to feed the dogs unless they
are I'm harness. Otherwise they would
scatter, and nothing more would be seen
of them. They are driven with one long
rein attached To the leader. a whip with
very short handle and a very long lash
is used TO urge thcm on, though in most
cases they need no urging, for they seem
TO feel that the faster they go the quicker
they will come to the post, where food and

THE STORM IN THIS CITY.
IL Was Wild Night With Its Drifting
snow and HowIing Gale.

The scheduled blizzard came. Through
out the morning yesterday The
press telegraph saunders rat
lied merrily, telling IN sharp
clicks OF the approach OF
big storm which was sweeping over the
country. Late in the morning the sky
was threatening and at '3.fJ p. m. the
storm broke, AMI il has thus far played a
star engagement.
The wind In fitful gusts sang storm
song as the driving snow tettooed upon
window panes telling those within

them abroad needed no reminder that il
was the banner snow storm of the season.
It was vicious aud the blast cut

flakes were stu falling and the ground
was white everywhere. Wind driven snow
was piled nigh against doors packed i'm

wind was keen and altogether IL was n

everyone felt discouraged. IL was so
much harder to get along than IL was the
day before.
