the whole world with his wonderful
charts Of the winds and currents OF 'he
oceans and his sailing directions pased
upon them before he became tine fa.n-
finder OF the Seas" But he never iai-
tered in his appreciation OF the grea'
advantages OF Norfolk and his devotion
To her interests. This is amply shown oy

better known as the Rip Raps. IL is ou'

Professor Ely.

Professor Ely. formerly Of the Johns
Hopkins University. Baltimore. but now
of the University OF Wisconsin. is out In
a letter in the Baltimore Sun In which
he denies specifically one and all or the
charges which have been brought against
him. He is no Socialist even, much less
an Anarchist. but firm In the beiief that
Anarchy would sink any country 10 rum
and that Socialism Is not much better
Professor Ely makes one remark which
could not have originated with anybody
except profound thinker and hard
student when he says that agriculture
offers insuperable obstacles to the proposed
goclalistic organization OF industry. we
are not sure that we have not seen this
remark in his writings or elsewhere. IL
is worthy of the attention OF the Socialists.
We have for years regarded professor
Ely as an advanced thinker.

A Convenient Find,

While II may be true that the donii'
ciliary search Of the Berlin police mas as
closed intimate relations" between the
German and the French Anarchists. 1t Is
probable that when all the facts regard
ing the Berlin raid come out It VIII be
found that militant Anarchism II very
little 70 be feared In Germany.
Recently there have been Indications OF
. disposition on the part OF the Gs1man
government to swing back TO repressiye
measures touching socialism. II can.
therefore. be readily understood that an
Anarchist ''find" in Berlin at this particu-
lar juncturs might prove very convenient.

THE JUDGE HAD TOURS.
And the Colonel Learned Lesson In the
Noble Game OF Draw.

tpuAidiO i$AR'NN"sf
There was big Jackpot, with all its
glowing beauty OF red. and white. and
blue chips, reposing in the centre OF the
table. II had been made for 50 for
starter ana each Of the five players had
sweetened four times with a $5-chip be-
fore there came pair OF jacks where
with to split IL open.
After the fourth deal the Colonel
picked up his hand carelessly and
glanced at the corners Of the cards He
smiled little and said, softly: I'll bust
that for nifty" The next man passed
cut. So did the next, and the next, and
the next. The Judge. who was the last
to have say, had looked at his cards
carefully, and an expression OF supreme
disgust had settled on his face. He held
the cards by the corner. and made an
involuntary motion as II TO throw them
into the discard.
The Colonel's hand twitched ner-
vously. 1t looked as IL II would be case
OF showing breakers and raking in the
rich stake. The Judge made another mo-
zion, as IL he were inclined TO throw up
the hand. Then the Colonel said: "What
are you going TO do Judge%'
The Judge went through his hand again.
The expression Of disgust deepened. Amt
afraid to pay, are your" inquired the
Colonel tauntingly.
mo" replied the Judge slowly. Il
guess I'll see what you are doing this
on, anyhow" and he made good the so
opening bet
They drew cards. The Colonel took
two and the Judge, after much delibera-
ton, decided that one was about all he
wanted. The Colonel bet another so chip,
and the Judge saw him and raised him
s.. The Colonel came back with another
so raise, and the Judge laid his hand
down on the table. pulled out a roll OF
bills and counted of $780, 'Tll tilt that
$40" he remarked calmly. The Colonel
gasped. He looked at his hand and then
at the great pile Of chips and money In
the middle of the table, He rustled
around and got $50 together and said,
weakly: well, I'll call you"
The Judge picked his hand up and
spread it out on the table. He had four
threes.
The Colonel gasped again and showed
up three queens. why. you robber," ne
said. "you had 'em all the time"
YES" assented the Judge.
"And you made a couple OF motions as
II you were going TO throw them up"
my boy" replied the Judge. solemnly.

The Wellman Expedition.

The Welnan polar expedition has re-
turned to Tromsoe, Norway, after having
penetrated almost as far north as the
eighty-first parallel, made some interest
Ing scientific observations, and fully de-
monstrated the value of aluminium sledge-
boats for Arctic travel. On the other
hand. the vessel Of the party, the
Ragnvald Jarl, was, as previously report
ed, lost. and it seems very clear that
the students OF ice conditions who warned
Wellman that the present season was
peculiarly unfavorable for his venture
knew whereof they spoke. Wellman says
the northern gales quickly broke up the
ice, which had promised to afford smooth
and easy travelling, and that progress
was impossible where men and sledges
were half the time in the water and the
other half on the ice.
Wellman is, however. far from being
discouraged, and has already signifed his
intention OF repeating his venture in 1885.
His experience has proved profitable, and
there seems no reason why he should not,

the blue ribbon from Lockwood and
Brainerd, who attained So degrees and
twenty-four and one half minutes. The
inference from the explorers report Is
that but for the exceptional quantity of
floating pack ice, which was the result of
an unusual season, the expedition would
have encountered comparatively little
hardship.
