Breckenridge vs.. Pollard.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The
reading Of the dispositions was
taken up again this morning when
Court met, to the regret of many
spectators, who had assem-
bled with the expectation
that Col. Breckenridge would
tell his story. Madeline Pollard
was seated beside her lawyer,
Judge Wilson, talking to him with
a smile playing across her face, and
once as she talked, she glanced
over her shoulder at the white
haired defendant. Before Attorney
Stall had proceeded Ear with his
Evolutionary effort, Miss Pollard
and her companion arose and
glided from the room, interrupt
ing the reading.

There Is one product in San An
tonic that has never as yet failed
to attract the attention of the
northern visitor, and that is the
tamale. Whenever a northerner
drifts into this city he never leaves
without having first partaken of
San Antonio's famous dish. The
tamale has probably caused the
name of this city to be
spread throughout the north
more than anything that
San Antonio has ever pro-
duced. The following is extracted
from the New York Morning
Journal OF March Is, which was
seen in "The Paveur's" column:
"What has become of the hot
tamale men who, until the past
week, wandered up and down the
streets with their highly spiced
wares? They were both pictures
que and successful, for the hot deli
cacies soon became popular in this
city, and it looks as IL the manu-
facturerS would realize a fortune.
One mistake was made by the
promoters of the tamale industry.
That was the employment of men
instead OF young women as ven
doris.
"In dear old San Antonio the
tamales are sold exclusively by
the chile girls, those dark-eyed
sirens who cater to the appetites
and the affections of their GUS
toners simultaneously. 1t would
be a pretty and successful idea to
have such beauties selling tamales
and chile con carne and friiOles in
the mammoth metropolis. Why
doesn't some enterprising syndi-
cate introduce it?"
MACON M'CORMICK's VISIT.
Mr.. J. b. Mccormick, who was In
San Antonio a few days ago in ad-
vance Of Wilson Barrett, is none
other than the veteran sporting
writer, whose none de plume
is Macon" Walking up
night during his stay here, after
having supped on tamales and en-
chilades, he observed in jewelers.
window a four-in-hand necktie,
made of the skin of a rattlesnake,
the last four buttons of the rattle
being finished into a pin, to be
worn with the scarf. His sole in
terest at once conferred upon this
"unique article" as he termed it,
and he made up his mind to
"drOp in tomorrow and buy one"
This he did and when last heard
from was In New York, showing it
to his friends. The tie is meeting
with approval in the north and it
Is likely that within few days or
ders will be received here from the
metropolis for lot Of such ties as
well as other articles made of rat
tlesnake skins.

Prendergast, the assassin OF

condemned man, in the

the sentence, "Those who differed

German Carp In Carolina Waters.

The German carp is here to stay.
Within six or eight years he has
multiplied to an amazing extent. The
lordship of the Santee and its branches
he disputes with the redhorse, the
catfish and the mudtsh ; and since his
increase is wonderfully rapid he bids
fair in a short time to make himself
more prominent than any of his rivals.
1t is very probable, too, that the free
dom of running water will gradually
improve his quality, if not his size.
The carp has been praised beyond
his deserts, and he has been also
much maligned. He is not the finest
fish that swims, though lzaak Walton,
gallantly feminizing him, calls HIM
"The queen of rivers; stately, a
good and very subtle fish. " In the
Charleston market buyers would pass
him by on the other side, and further
inland he is regarded as decidedly in
ferior to many small pan fish, and to
the trout, which, by the way, ls no
trout at all, but a black bass. But he
ia superior to the catfish, the mudhsh,
and. perhaps, the jack. After oil Is
said. however, the carp's worth re-
mains. like the voters choice for
Governor or Senator, matter OF
taste. A great deal depends on the

The Discovery of Glass.

There is little or nothing known
With certainty in regard to the lnven-
ton or discovery of glass. Some OF
the Oldest specimens are Egyptian,
and the age ofcertain glass vessels
made by that people which are now
kent in the British Museum Is believed
to be at least 4194 years, dating back
to the wear 2300 b. G. Transparent
glass was first used about 1oo b. Y. !;
the credit OF this latter discovery
being given to the Phoenlclans. The
old story Of its accidental discovery Is
familiar: Merchants who were resting

During the year 1898, according to
report just made to the Department
Of Internal Affairs at Harrisburg, there
wore $50 fatal accidents in the coal
mines of Pennsylvania, of which 45j
occurred in the mining OF anthracite
and 13l in that of bituminous coal
To go little deeper into figures, there
was one fatal accident to every 303
employees in the anthracite mines aud
one to every ga employees i'll the btu
minous mines OF non-fatal accidents
the proportion was one to l29 aud one
to 236. The following explanation of
the greater fatality attending anthra-
cite mining is given: "The anthra-
cite mines are much deeper than the
bituninous mines The greater NUN

consequence of less care and skill be.

operations, but because Of greater ma
tural dangers. While the mines i'll
some portions of the bituminous coal
regions contain large quantities OF gas,
other mines are almost wholly free
from it, while no anthracite mine Ii
wholly free from it. Besides, it is far
more difficult to ventilate the authra-
cite mines than the bituminous, az
they are deeper.
