CHEAP RENTS.
II Tow the Railroads Have Affected Branch es
of Old Mobiles Business


of Old Mobiles Business.
A portion of the glory of Mobile,
Ala, departed when, after years of la
Dor, the railroads from the north were
able to surmount the difficulties pre-
sented by marshland and bayou and
continue their lines to New Orleans.
This affected certain branches of the
business of the city materially, prac-
tically running the heavy trade in re-
shipping merchandise at Mobile to
New Orleans, leaving giant warehouses
tenantless and docks to rot and become
grass grown.
The extent of the depreciation in
value of some of the shipping property
can be inferred from the following OBJ
servations of u recently returned com
mercial traveller
In walking through one of the old
streets recently he saw on the ground
striped pole and the sign of barber
shop and boot blacLing establishment.
Walking in to have his shoes polished
he inquired of the proprietor how much
of the building he rented.
"All of it," replied the man.
What, all of this immense build
ingP" asked the drummer in surprise.
"Why, how can you afford it? What
do You pay for it?"
Fifteen dollars month";" was the
answer. Il use only what want of
it, but my lease covers the whole prop
erty."
Inquiry from merchants of the city
the mans statement. The
class of property had become absolute
ly useless by the altered conditions,
enabling the barber to secure for fif-
teen dollars a month building which
rented for thirty-fve hundred
or four thousand dollars u year.

A Prolltahla Drea IN

Tunis must be a capital place for
those who live and thrive on the credul-
ity of their fellowmen. 1t is said that
lady there recently announced that
she had dream, which she considered
as a Divine revelation, that who ever
drank the water of her cistern would
not be liable to take the cholera, an
she offered to furnish the water at a
penny drink. The people thronged
to taste the water, and in two days
more than twenty thousand persons
had paid their pennies, and imagined
that they had obtainedimmunity from
the dread disease.

SMUGGLING GOODS TO MEXICO.

Baled IN New York for transportation
Across the Texas Border.
Passing through Hudson street re-
Gently with friend, says New York
Herald writer, | CHANGED to pass the
establishment of firm of folders and
repackers" of dry goods. Before the
door were a hundred or more little
bales of goods, bearing odd markings,
but showing that they were destined
for a firm in Texas, doing business in a
town near the Mexican line.
"Do you know" asked nv comnan-
ion, why those goods are put up in
such small packages?"
Upon replying in the negative he
continued: "They are to be smuggled
across the Mexican line. The goods
are purchased in their original pack
ages and delivered here. The wooden
boxes are discarded and the goods
subjected to hydraulic pressure and
baled. Each bale contains about thirty
pieces or half the number of an ordiu-
ary dry goods case.
THE goods are then shipped to
Texas, and all marks removed. When
all is arranged some night the little
bales are slung across the backs of
mnles, two bales to each animal, and
with an armed escort the train pro-
ceeds over the border to some dis
tributing point in Mexico, where the
goods are sold to Mexican traders at a
good profit
Smuggling in this manner is quite
extensively carried on between this
country and Mexico, the United States
getting in return for its dry goods,
which are the most easily handled,
cheap Mexican coffee and cigars. Of
course there is suspicion that the il
licit traffic is known to the custom
officers of both countries and connived
at, but that would be a hard matter to

William NJ Singerly undertook an
immense contract when he started in
to harmonize the Democrats of this
state. He will, even if he succeeds,
have but little thanks for his trouble,
and he might as well drop the ques-
ton. There are a number of poll.
ticians in Philadelphia and few
scattered through the state who are
masquerading as Democrats, but who
really do not know enough of the
principles of the party to be classed
as members. They would again sell
the chances of any candidate, as they
have often done before, to secure some
paltry city Office for one of the clique,
and to effect union with such heeiers
and label them as Democrats would
disgrace the party. The Demo
cracy of Pennsylvania can better afford
to be in the minority than to lower its
standard by making an alliance with
Matt Quay's henchmen.

The beauty of the new tariff bill is
not so much in any promises of pros

kinley bill, but in the fact that it will
create deficiency in the government

port. The proposed reductions in
tarlifduties alone are not enoue h to give
the country any direct benefit. We
Will still have tariff of great magni

Topped off and Uncle Sam will have to

money, The deficiency is already ap

ing revenue it is preferable to tariff
tax and will do as a substitute until

TALK THE "JARGON."
Mixed Tongues That German Russo Po-
lish Immigrants Speak.

hsh Immigrants speak.
"He talks the Jargon" is a remark
often made by despairing interpreter
when he attempts to translate the Ian
guage of an east side witness, says the
Philadelphia Press. THE jargon" is
recognized term for a dialect SO com
mon that it is distinguished by the
definite article from all the other
numerous jargons known in the city.
1t is spoken by Hebrews from Poland
and Russia. 1t consists mainly of an
imperfect German, with occasional
Hebrew or Polish words. Those who
have studied its history say that those
who speak 1t are descended from He
brews who formerly lived in Germany,
and spoke the German tongue.
When they migrated to Poland they
preserved among themselves, as far as
possible, the German language. 1t be-
came somewhat corrupted, but in the
main was the language spoken by
those who originally left Germany.
The language of Germany itself be-
came changed in time, and now there
is considerable difference between the
words spoken by the Polish descend
ants of the German Hebrew and those
spoken by educated Germans.
The difference is said to be slight
when few corruptions of the original
tongue are known. Educated Ger
mans, however, cannot understand at
first the peculiar Polish-Hebrew style
1t is now very common in many parts
of the great east side, and shopkeep-
ers there have to learn, not only Ger
man, but also "the jargoh" of the i'm
migrants from Poland and Russia.

FIRST OF HOOFED ANIMALS.
Supposed to Have Lived on Western Prai-
ries 100000 Years Ago.

supposed TO nave Lived on western Prai-
ries 100000 Years Ago.
In the rooms of Prof. L. d. Cope, at
Philadelphia, the person fortunate
enough to gain admission, says the St.
Louis Republic, may see the creature
which all naturalists are unanimous in
pronouncing the first representative
of the hoofedanimal species. The an
imal is not alive, neither is it entire so
far as flesh and blood are concerned,
but to the paleontologist, who cares
only for the fossiled bones, the speci-
men is perfect. 1t is not larger than
yearling calf, and not nearly so tall,
and was found in the Wind river coun-
try in Wyoming. Prof. Cope named it
Thenacodus primBvus when it was
first discovered, giving it as his opin-
ion that it was akin to specimen
which was found several years ago in
France (the palcotherium), and which
gave Cuvier and the other naturalists
SO much trouble to classify. At the
time of the discovery of the French
specimen the savants of Europe decided
that it was the ancestor of "hoofed
Critters" but the Wind river fossil,
which is easily distinguished as being
a type of the same, is believed to be
much more ancient. Cope's curiosity
was found in rocks belonging to the
eocene period and the time when it
grazed on the western prairies has been
placed as far back as five hundred
thousand years. Every bone is perfect
and in place, and the specimen could
not be purchased for ten thousand dol
lars

Xiphioid Whales Which Belong to Long
Past Geological Ages.
Prior to 1888 the naturalists of Amer
lea knew nothing of xiphioid whales
except from comparisons and the fossil
records of the geological ages. During
the year mentioned, however. one of
these queer cretaceans was stranded
upon the sands at Barnegat City, N. J.
j. IL. Ridgeway and his assistants
managed to save the specimen, and i'm
mediateiy telegraphed for the officials
of the National museum of Washing
ton. They went, of course, and took
all the apparatus necessary for preserv-
ing such unique curiosity. Among
these Smithsonian worthless were sci
entists of international reputation, vet
the creature before them could not be
assigned to it's proper class until after
the brain was critically and scientific
ally examined-this on account of it's
great rarity. Before removing the
flesh preparatory to making a skele-
ton" of the great creatures bones a
plaster cast of the exterior was made.
After this operation had been finished
in all it's minute details the meat was
cut away and the bones carefully artic-
ulated scientific report of the Incl
dent, quoted by the st. Louis Republic,
closes as follows THE xiphioid
whales have most interesting his

moment horror-struck at the sight Of
