American affairs: Speaking of Co.
lionel lngersoll's recent troub,o with
the ministers of New Jersey, the
Poulterers' Herald of Manchester,
England, says: sex Senator In
gersoll of Kansas, who, it will be
remembered, ran against Mr.. Blaine
for president in 1884 and derisively
bestowed upon him the title of
'Plumed Knight, has recently been
experiencing great difficulty in de-
liyering his lecture OH the Bible.
Mr.. IugersoIl is known as an au>
thority on theological matters, but
owing to the fact that he would
take no part in the worlds fair
festivities at Chicago, upon the
ground that the entire affair had an
immoral tendency, the American
people have turned against him, and
now no opportunity to persecute
him is neglected"

FREE silver, it is claimed by
IT'S advocates, would benefit
most of all the debtors of the
United States, enabling them
to pay in deprecated silver
coin debts contracted on a gold
Basis. As the principal debtors
of this country are the corpor-
ations, chiefly railroads, and
by far the major portion of
their Indebtedness is owed in
Europe we cannot see how free
silver in this country can ben
eft them, except that it would
provide them with cheap labor,
thus causing increasing divi-
dends. European countries can
not be forced to take depreciat
ed American silver coins in
payment for gold loaned by
them, any more than Mexico
can pay her foreign indebted
ness with her fifty cent silver
spesos.

SnoWbnIIs, Five a Throw,

The street faEirs have something new.
1t is a delusive arrangement Of ice and
glnsery-or rather peppery-sirups.
The products are called "Sn0wballs."
A huge cake of ice lies upon a street
stand. Beside it is the strip. A Gus
TONER gives an order. The faEir takes .
large metal arrangement that resembles
a lemon squeezer and opens it by turn
ing back the top. x bowl with a sharp
edge is disclosed. This is used to ecrare
ice from the cake. When it is more than
full Of fahy ice, strip Of the favor de-
sired is poured upon the ice and rapidly
absorbed by it. The cover is brought
back to place, forcing the ice and strip
into a compact ball. The lid is thrown
back in a few seconds and a white, fros-
ty sphere is delivered.
The stuff has jumped into favor with
the thirsty. and the Bowery is lined with
men crying: "Snowballs! Snowballs !

EARLY LIFE OF PAUL JONES

he Came to America to Inherit an Estate
In Virginia.
There is no record of his having at
tended any school except that of the
parish of Kirkbean, but he developed a
truly Scotch passion for reading and
writing. He went to sea when 12 years
Old and made two voyages during his
minority in a SLAYER, but hating the
traffic he left it and the ship too At 20
he was in command of a fine %brigantine.
b this time occurred what he calls,
in a letter to Robert Morris, "a great
misfortune" adding, II am under no
concern whatever that this or any other
circumstance of my past life will sink
me in your opinion" The trouble was
a threatened criminal prosecution for
having had a carpenter fogged, which
was the usual mode of punishment in
those days. The matter was investigat.
ed. and Paul Jones was fully acquitted.
1t is worthy of remark that the mag
lstrate who inquired into that matter
notes that Paul Jones expressed great
sorrow for having had the maj f1ogged,
although the charge of cruelty was fully
dlsproved. He returned to Scotland once
after this, and although a~ffectionately
received by his W family his friends
and n%eighbors seem to have treated him
coldly. The smart from this injustice
turned the Indifference he felt for his
native land into hatred, and ever after
ne considered himself quite free from
any responsibility for having been born
and having spent the first IL years OF
his life i'll so inhospitable a country.
In his twenty seventh year a great
and fortunate change occurred to him.
His brother William, who had emisrat-
ed to Virginia and died there, left him
an estate. There is no doubt that Paul
Jones was often afterwara in want o.
ready money, but it must be remem.
bered that everybody was in want Of
ready money in the eighteenth century.
Certain it is, from his papers preserved
at Washington, that he might be consid.
cred at the beginning of the wal a man
of independent fortune.
The two years Of his life in Virginia
are obscure. as might be expected from
a man living the life Of a provincial
country gentleman, which the records
concerning him prove. At the outbreak
OF war with the mother country Paul
Jones fastened to Philadelphia, and
through Mr.. Joseph Hewes. a member
OF congress from North Carolina, got
his commission as senior first lieutenant
IN the infant navy Of the colonies. It
was then he made the acquaintance of
Robert Morris, to whom he felt a pas.
slonate gratitude and affection, and
whom he named as sole executor in his
will. Mr.. Hewes being then dead. -
