ments were published in that paper a
short time ago. The grounds on which
G. A. Spreckels makes his complaint
are as follows:
First-That defendant, Claus Spreck-
els, said of plaintiff "I gave that hoy
$24, 900 year in Philadelphia. Then
he drew out $3.50, ,OOe of my money. !
will tell. the whole story one OF these
days. Then the public will see these
sons in their true light"
Second-Is materially the same as
the first account in the complaint.
Third-That Claus Spreckels spoke
of the plaintiffs suit against the Oce-
anic Steamship Company in a manner
that would suggest an attempt at
blackmail by the plaintiff.
Eourth-That the defendant said Of
plaintiff, "He will soon be bankrupt
which is alleged TO have injured the
plaintiffs credit as a merchant and
capitalist"
Fifth-That the defendant said Of
plaintiff, "He has wasted money!
In view of these premises Gus
Spreckels wants $500 damages and
costs of suit.
The attorneys for the defendant are
trying to impeach the character Of the
plaintiff and an alleged shortage OF
$3.50, 900 was brought up.
Mr.. Spreckels said he could not re-
member the date when his father re-
vOked the power of attorney, under
which he acted as agent. Asked
whether he kept an account OF moneys
expended and TO explain what became
of the alleged shortage of $3.50, 900 he
said: 81 have been trying TO refresh
my memory in the matter as to the
difference of $250,000 that / could not

Regarding his business intercourse
with Searles, of the Sugar Trust, he

Silencing q Nuisance.

Speaking of tho young man who talks
in public places, I heard a retort made
to him last Thursday night which was
SO good l was surprised never to have
heard it before. 1t was at the theater,
and the young man had seen the play
before. He let everybody for four seats
around know that, and he kept telling
just what was coming and just how
funny it would be when it did come.
He had a pretty girl with him, and he
"a trying to amuse her. At length he
said:
did you ever try listening to a play
with your eyes shut? You've no idea
how queer it seems"
n middle aged man with a red face
sat just in front. He twisted himself
about in his seat and glared at the
young man.
Young man," said he, "did you
ever try listening to a play with your
mouth shut?"
And the silence was almost painful.

A Letter From Grant.

Major James W. Hinkley Of Pough-
keepsie says that some future president
Of the United States will be greatly as
tonished some day by the receipt of a
letter from General y. s. Grant. Mr..
Hinkley and Colonel Fred Grant were
cadets together at West Point. General
Grant and his son Fred were both grad
yates Of West Point, and the general
was very anxious that his grandson
should also be educated at that institu-
ton. Before he died he wrote q person
al letter to the man who should be
president Of the United States at the
time when his grandson should reach a
suitable age asking him to appoint the
young man to a cadetship at West
Point. This letter is now in Colonel
Fred Grants possession.

The Sausage Machine.

The Chicago girl haS Deer unusually

the Auditorium-not mentioning its ex-
ternal dirtiness-and the waterworks
building, which Oscar Wilde describes
as looking like a choice collection of
copper pots, and she had ~naively and
casually referred to II Worlds fair.
When the New York girl said IN
thing about a municipality upon the
island of Manhattan, the Chicagoan as
sumed a blank expression and remark
ed: "Oh, yes, I remember; we had to
pass through it on our way to Europe"
Then she began to boast Of one of Chi
cago's proudest works Of art. not wholly
unknown to the others, as, indeed, what
is there belonging to Chicago that is
permitted to remain unknown? It was q

On the Promenade.

When taking his walk abroad, Herr
Won Pump is generally to be seen in the
company Of a plain looking but wealthy
heiress. His creditors are thus deluded
into tho expectation Of a marriage be-
tween the pair and give him a little
longer respite.
Sut1e, the student and joyous boon
companion, prefers to be seen walking
arm in arm with Sanftmeier, a candi-
date for the ministry. People are then
heard to remark, "Suffle is beginning tc

Ehrhnber, the manufacturer, likes tc
trot along with Krieger, the old veter.

BouIanger's Horse.

The 18th of July was the great day
Of ~Boulanger's life, SO far as popular
admiration and exterior manifestations
were concerned. 1t was the date of the
appearance of the black horse-the
horse that became for the time a party
symbol, a political finger post, a feature
in the history of France.
He was a p~rodigiously snowy horse,
as gorgeous as he was famous. He was
composed principally of a brandishing
tail, a new moon neck, a looking glass
skin and the action Of D~emosthenes.
He seemed to possess two PAGES only
a fretting walk and a windmill canter.
He was a thorough specimen Of what
the Spaniards call ar arrogant horse. "
He was gaudy, yet solemn; strutting,
yet stately; Haunting, yet majestic; mag
niloquent, yet eloquent.
He was drilled with the most admira-
BILE skill. His were so super
lative that with all his tirework display
he could not have been either difficult
to handle or firing to sit. Never was q
horse S 70 emphatically suited to his rider.
The two were identical in their ways.
Each was as gilded as the other. AS the
horse bounded the general, who had a
weak grip, rocked on him. At every
stride he swung tremendously in the
saddle and bent right and left alternate.

An Old Brakeman Tells Of . Queer Rail-
road Accident He Witnessed.
1.-THE most remarkable wreck l was
ever In" said IN old brakeman, ''hap.
pened ON the Short Line between Pewee
and Boards some years ago 1t was a
freight wreck. I had charge Of the La
Grange accommodation and was bound
in to Louisville. We were following
hard upon the trail Of train Nc. 80, also
bound for Louisville. Train Nc. ii was
coming in out direction. 1t had been
delayed some minutes at Pewee, but ex-
pected to make up the time and side
track between Pewee and Boards ON
schedule time, so that train No. 80
would have the right Of way.
1.-THE delay was what caused the
trouble. The side track l am telling you
about was just behind and under a hill.
Train No. ID had just backed III to the
side track, and before the switchman
could shift the switch train No. 80
came dashing around the hill. The II
gineer saw the danger. He turned down
h throttle with q hard shove and whis-
tied down brakes His efforts were of
no use, however. Train No. 80 turned
in on the side track and went crashing
into No. IA. All the cars Of the train,
IA, were stripped off the track as clean
as If they had been peas in q pod. The
shock Of the two trains meeting was, of
course, terrific. The whole of train No.
80, including the locomotive, toppled
off the track. Remarkable as it may
seem, only the cars of No. IA were
thrown off the track.
"When tho two trains struck, the en-
gineer of IA had his hand on the throt-
tie, about to stop his train. The shock
threw him out of the cab, and the wrench
threw open the throttle again and re-
versed the engine. When the cars had
been stripped off the track, the locomo-
tive went wild down the track toward
La Grange. We of the La Grange accom-
mediation had by this time neared the
curve. l was at the head of the train as
lookout. l heard the sound of a locomo-
tive approaching and signaled the en-
gineer of our train to reverse his engine.
He had hardly time to jump to the
throttle when the wild locomotive
crashed into US. Twas thrown, l reckon,
80 feet and came out of it with two
broken legs. No one else was hurt, but
the La Grange accommodation was a day
late. No, l don't railroad any more"

THE CHIMNEY.
With More Especial Reference to Drain
Pipe and Tomato Can Chimneys.


Speaking of chimneys," said an old
soldier, ''the chimney such as one not
infrequently sees made Of glazed drain
pipe always interests me greatly. We've
seen such chimneys run up outside Of
shanties, and we've seen them carried
from the tops of chimneys over to the
side wall Of some much higher building
erected next door and thence on upward
above the top of it. There is one thing
about these drain pipe chimneys that al
ways surprises me very much, and that
Is that they stack 'em up with the
fange end of the sections up. l never
saw one built the other way. / never
could understand this. l suppose the
pipe is usually set up with cement or
mortar in the joints, but l should think
those upturned tlanges would catch all
the rain, and that it would work down
the pipes, and that frost would get in
there in winter and all that. l should
think it would be immensely better to
stack 'em up with the smooth end at tho
top, and l don't know why they don't
do it.
perhaps my great interest in this
simple form Of cylindrical chimney is
due to a more intimate acquaintance
with and a great affection for another
kind of cylindrical chimney, one more
simple in form and construction. / re-
fer to the tomato can chimney. Emblem
of domestic peace and comfort as the
chimney undoubtedly is, it is not always
SO, and the tomato can chimney, per-
haps more than any other, characterizes
the ~livelier vicissitudes of life. l know
that my own first acquaintance with the
tomato can chimney was in the army
in time Of war. And yet even there it
has some flavor of peace about it, for
we never had n except at times when
we were more or less settled in camp
and were within reach of a settler.
And the tomato can chimney is by
no means confined to army life. 1t is
built by hunters and campers out, by
squatters and pioneers and by early set
tiers in new regions pending the build
ing of a more substantial chimney, and
SO l suppose it may be said of the Chin
ney, after all, that wherever it may be
set up and of whatever it may be con-
structed it has about the same SAVIOR of
