Tilghman's island, part of Talbot
county, Md, and connected with the
mainland by bridge, is famous in the
Chesapeake region for its canoes The
island is about three square miles in
area, and is dcnsely populated by n
hardy race of eastern shore men, who
gain their living in the waters of the
bay. When ice or the laws of Mary
land interfere with their ordinary pur-
suits, the Tilghman's islanders build
canoes, and do it admirably we'll The
true Chesapeake canoe is still dugout.
Sometimes two or three logs are hol-
lowed for the purpose and joined to-
gethcr. The result is remarkably
stanch boat, good in all waters, and Ill
most indestructible.

Japan's Reply to Russia.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Japanese
officials here quest ton the correctness of
the st. Petersburg cable giving Japan's
reply to Russia. It is pointed out that
the Toxic government would not make
such confession of weakness as to say
that revolution would occur. It is
also urged that the reply lacka the
dignity that will characterize such
answers az Japan may make. While
this Is the view of officials, they have
not been advised of the Russo-Japan
phase of the subject. The impression
is growing. however, that while threat
ened intervention will not be realized,
1t may encourage China to break the
peace arrangements and thus bring on q
renewal OF the war.

Alabama Iron Status.

The Mobile Register quotes some in.
teresting figures Of. the status of Ala
bama iron from recent report of Presi-
dent Baxter, of the Tennessee Cosl,
Iron and Railroad Company. In gem
eral way he says that the consum ption
of iron is large and the buying lively,
and this in face Of the fact that car
building decreased last year to 1900
cars as against 100,0 600 in 1899. Much
iron Is used in the construction OF cars,
and OF course the decrease in that line
limited the market materially; yet the
output and consumption remain satis-
factory, showing That there has been an
extension OF trade in other directions
An important point is that the company
is now operating but eleven OF the sew
enteen furnaces, but the eleven, in the
month OF March, 1898, ran out more iron
and OF better quality than had ever
before been made in the same length Of
time with all the furnrces at work. The
Improvement in the trade has caused an
Increased demand from the foundries,
while the cutting off six furnaces has
enabled the iron to be produced at a
decreased cost Not only in the furnace
operation but in other department has
the cost been reduced. During the
early part of 1894 q reduce ton of 10 to
Is per cent per ton was made in the
cost OF mining ore, and during the past
month the furnaces have had the BEN
eht OF an additional reduction Of 90 per
cent. owing to long time contracts.

How 1t Once Induced James Gordon Ben
nett to Raise n Pressmnn's Salary.
james Gordon Bennett is very cratic
in his movements. He ''drops in" upon
his branch offices in Paris or London
without any notice being sent of his
coming, and delights to surprise the
clerks by ovcrhauling their books and
examining their accounts. On one of
these occasions, says the Utica Observer,
one OF the prcsSmen, man who had
worked for the elder Bennett, and was
an excellent workman, though guilty
of an occasional lapse from sobriety,
had bad black eye and was in a
Quandary as to what excuse he should
offer if Mr.. Bennett noticed. it. Act
Ing on sudden inspiration he seized
an ink roller and rubbed daub of ink
on the side of his face completely con
cealing the discolorat;on of the skin.
Presently Mr.. Bennett came into the
press room, and with the superintend-
cnt, John Hays, went carefully through,
criticising every detail, and looking
sharply Mt each employee. When about
to leave he turned suddenly, and,
pointing to the besmirchcd prcssinan.
he said:
Mr.. Hays, what is that mans namc?"
The culprit qualied in his shoes until
Mr. Bennett said, slowly:
II want you to give that man three
dollars per week more wages; he is the
only man in the room who looks as if
he had been working"

RATS ON THE RAMPAGE.
They Invade n Farmers Premises nns
Mako - Great Fight.

Ihcy Invade Farmers Premises md
Mako u Great Fight.
The village of President, an old-time
petroleum center, is in the Oil creek of
pennsylvania. There is where the
karnscs, once n famous family of oil
operators, had their home, and some of
them live there and thercabout vet.
One of these is Henry Harms. The
other day, carly i'll the morning, he
heard his pig, which had reached the
proper condition for killing, squcaling
In such an agonizing way in the pen
that he knew something was wrong
with it. Harms first thought was
bear, for now and then, even at this
late date, bears venture from the dis
tant woods to the sleepy towns in that
part of the valley and try their skill on
pigs and sheep. So Harms took his gun
and hurried to the pig pen. But instead
of bears rats were the impudent in
vaders of the pig pen and hungry assail-
ants of the pig.
The stye was simply alive with rats.
The pig was PROSTATE on the floor of
the pen, and literally covered with this
horde of rats, which were squenling,
fighting among themselves for vantage
ground on the fat porker, and gnash-
ing and gnawing at the pigs flesh,
IRON his head to his rump. To fire his
gun into the swarming rats would be
the endangering of the pig, and think
ing that prompt and vigorous attack
on the rats would put them to flight he
dubbed his gun and began mauling
right and left with it. The pig had
plainly made Il desperate fight against
its ASSISTANTS, for scores of rats Law
dead about the pen. The moment
harms pitched into the rats those in the
outer ranks turned on him. They came
ut him i'll such force that he was uu-
able to fight them off, and after brief
attempt to hold his ground he turned
and He'd fastening back to the house
he drew the bucl1shot from his gun and
loaded it with fine shot. Returning to
the pen, he gave the great body of rats,
shooting along the side of the pig so as
not to injurc it, the charge of both bar
rels. Many of them were swept down
before it, but their places were quickly
taken by Others Harms fired five times.
The rats that were left still held their
ground.
The shots had attracted the attention
OF the neighbors, who ran to the place
to see what was going on. This arrival
OF reinforcements alarmed the rats, and
the survivors retreated, scamperinC
away in all directions. The pig was
dead. The flesh had been stripped from
1t clear to the bone in many places. It's
eyes had been pluckcd out, and it's
heart half eaten in two. A half-bushel
basketful Of dead rats were taken from
the pen. Where the rodents came from
SO suddenly in such great numbers is
not known. None of them has been
seen since.

Shipp shot Brown. .Ihe colored people
demand that Shipp shall be prosecuted

race is never given representation on
juries, this demand Is causing great
