Capt. Kay's Discarded Hat.

Capt. Kay, of the British navy, says
Youths Companion, was at anchor IL
Alden harbor after three years in the Easl
Indies. Being now on his way home, he
began to clear out bis cabin. Among
his traps was hat case, which, being
opened, disclosed title" which had once
been new and fashionable, but was now
moth eaten and out of date. Inside Of
it, in indelible ink, was printed its own
er's name. The captain glanced at it,
and said to his servant, Throw it over
board"
Overheard it went. Soon afterward
one Of the crew of boat from the flag
ship, coming from the shore, espied the
hat floating on the water, picked it up,
read the name inside, and carried it to
the commander of his ship, who in turn
sent it to Captain Kay with his compli-
ments, supposing it to have fallen over.
board.
"Hang the hatl' said Captain Kay,
and he chucked it overheard again, ad-
ding, Tell your commander I'm very
much obliged TO him."
Two hours afterward the hat again re-
appeared, this time with Captain N-'s
compliments. Captain N was the
commander of an American manof.war
lying further down the harbor, and the
hat had been picked up by some of his
boats. Captain N had dried il care
fully, and then sent it to its owner.
Tell Captain N am greatly
obliged to him." said Captain Kay, and
the American officer departed.
"Confound the hat.' said Captain
Kay. 81 shall have to ask N TO din
ner. Here. bring me a lump of coal or
something else that is heavy"
A lump OF coal was placed IN the bat,
and the hat was taken down the accom-
mediation ladder, carefully allowed to fill
with water, and watched until it sank.
CHATS the last of that - said Capt.
Kay.
Two days later a parcel arrived, ad-
dressed to Captain Kay, II. NJ. S. S."
with fourteen rupees, eight annas TO pay.
The money was paid, the parcel opened,
and behold here once more was the dis
carded hat, looking more disrepuiable
than ever,
With it was very civil note from the
Alden superintendent of the police. A
diving boy, he explained, had brought
up the hat. The superintendent had
found the owners name inside. He bad
taken for granted that Captain Kay
would with the boys honesty rewarded and,
20 had taken the liberty to give him a ru-
pee. He hoped his action would meet with
approval. The police station fees were one
rupee, with boat hire twelve rupees, eight
annas.
Captain Kay paid these different charges {;
then he ordered big fire lighted in the
stoke hole, and after jumping on the hat he
ordered it pushed into the hottest part OF
the furnace He watched it burn, and even
MS it crumbled into ashes the inscription,
captain Kay, r, NJ" was still visible.

EXCUSES FOR GROVER
Senator Faulkner Essays to Ex-
plain Presidents Position.
Says He Has a Sincere Desire for
Democratic Success.
GROVER DIDN'T SAY SO.
But Mr.Faulkner Says That Was
His Impression.

WASHINGTON. Nov g. = Senator
Faulkner, chairman of the Demo
cratic congressional comPaign com
mittee, yesterday made a statement
with reference to his recent call upon
the president. at which the political
situation was talked over
LAS chairman of the congressional
committee I called upon the presi-
dent During the interview con-
veyed to him all the information I
had IN reference to the congressional
contests throughout the country, and
the prospects of the Democratic party
in the various states. Our converse
ton was confined to the outlook in
pending congressional elections, and
l found the president, as always, in
previous conversations involving the
interests of the Democratic party in
the various states manifesting the
deepest concern in the information 1
communicated to him. and IN the
hopes L expressed for our success in
maintaining a Democratic majority
IN the Eifty-fOurth congress
He impressed me in that interview
as having the same earnest and sin
cere interest in the results of this
election, W hich have always charac-
terized his utterances in the interest
of Democratic principles when they
were on trial before the people of this
satisfied with the direction given the
campaign by the congressional com
nittee, in earnestly and inteligently
bringing before the voters the results
of Democratic action in the endeavOr
Of congress to redeem Democratic
pledges OF course we all recognize
the fact because Mr.. Cleveland Is one
who does not conceal from the public
his maturely formed opinions, that he
had hoped for the passage of rev
enue measure more in accordance
with his views Of the pledges
of the party in its declaration at Chi
caco. But as he has already stated,
what has been done will certainly
tighten many tariff burdens that now
rest heavily upon the people,, and he
seemed to fully approve the course OF
the committee in drawing the con-
trast between the onerous and bur-
densOme actions Of the Mckinley bill
and the reduct ons made by the exist
ing laws; approving fully the prese n
tation by the committee as sh own IN
its campaign book as well as its other
literature, the difference in the condi-
ton of the treasury under his former
cessor. Mr. Harrison, and the deplor-
able condition Of the treasury when
turned over to him by his pred ecessor-
You can rest assured 1 express my
honest Judgment when I say that
from my conversation with the presi-
dent, no man takes a deeper interest
in the success of the Democratic par
ty in the present cam paign and IN the
anxiety of the committee to return a
majority to the Fifty-fourth congress

The last week Of October, with an

the true condition Of business In
some trades the season is too far ad-
vanced for great activity and in 9TH
ers the supposed effects Of the voting
hinder operations. But the volume
Of production is well maintained. and
In one or two branches increased no
monetary difficulties disturb Bread
stuffs are a little higher and no ma
terial decline appears during the
week in manufactured products At
present the volume of business trans
acted is on the whole smaller than
last year and much smaller than IN
1892, though a presidential election
was then close ut hand
Corn has advanced four cents, with
Western receipts about a third and
exports about an eighth Of last years
Yet pork and hogs are somewhat low

the market is generally dull, without

the season. but the expected supple

great uncertainty prevails as to

Democrats Losing All Their Voters TO
the PopuliBts.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 3.-Today's reports to
the Republican and Democratic state
central committees were not reassuring.
The drift of the vote toward Owen. the
Populist candidate for governor, is grow
ing heavier every day, and at POpuIIst
headquarters they are making claims
that Owen will be elected By a plurality
exceeding 10000. This movement Of the
vote toward Owen is not because of sud
den popularity of the Populist candi-
dates, bat because Of feeling which has
become general the past ten days that
the Great Northern Railway company
is in control of the leaders Of both the old
parties.
It now seems certain that Owen will
receive 10000 votes in St Paul and not
less than $4,000 in Minneapolis. Heavy
increases for Owen are also reported
from the country. A pon of Grant coun-
~, concluded yesterday. gives Becker,
Democrat but twenty five votes. AT the
Republican state headquarters it is now
admitted that the seventh congressional
district will give a Populist majority of
several thousand. The vote which is
drifting over to the Populists has hither-
to been largely Democratic

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-Secre tary Of
Agriculture Morton is giving earn est
attention to the inspection Of foods
exported from and imported into tn e
United States. and as a result may
suggest some very radical steps in his
next report
1t may be recommended by Secre-
tary Morton that the packers whose
meat is inspected be taxed to
defray the cost of inspe elton, as
liquor and cigar manufacturers are
taxed The government has been
paying $3.50, 600 a year for this service
able to reduce the expense materially
he thinks the sys tenn might be self
sustaining, as he believes the meat
packers, rather than the general tax
paying public, are its bene 6ciarIes.
In the past it has been largely a po-
litical institution, he asserts, and
some of the inspectors were not quail
flied for their duties Admissions to
this branch Of the service are to be

vice examination This rule went
into effect on July 1 last Of the first
group examined only two aspirants
for office attained q rank which viii
secure them appointments. All Of
the inspectors who have been re
tanned in the service will be required
to take the examination when the
eligible list contains enough names
to fill the places of those who fail to
pass The department is meeting
with much trouble in its efforts to
find men Of the needful requireme nts
for these positions.
