A CoCKNEY's LUCK.
One bright and superlatively
clever friend OF mine is a Cockney
born, indeed, quite we'll within the
sound OF Bow Bells. His father is
a clergyman, and has several chill,
dren. He is still young, this now
successful contractor, who handles
millions. His first adventure was
when, after leaving home with the
traditional blessing, he took pas
sage for Zanzibar. In that realm
OF the palm and the strange Afri,
can commerce he arrived a mere
lad and went into miscellaneou
trade. He became surveyor to tn,
Sultan, who took shine to him
and wanted him to take to wifi,
one OF his inumerable daughters
all bona tide princesses. My friend
reflected long and well, but, fear
ing that white man may never
aspire to the throne, and he aimed
at nothing else in those days, b,
put the matter of. AS the Sultan
big, bouncing black man, was ;
NOLAN medan, the youngstel
thought he was no wine drinker
so he sent him several dozen case
Of apollinaris, which so incenset
his majesty that, forthwith, he ex
ecuted for him a decree of per
petual Punishment.
The youthful Cockney. not at al
disheartened by the confiscation @
his stock in trade, took passag

up into Zululand, and discerne
the golden future that awaited y
but the "nagurs" We're many, and
armed with assegais, which the
had habit of throwing arount

deemed 1t prudent to decamp.
He stayed bit at the Cape an
then made straight run for Ne,
York, whence he came to Mexic
on a steamer of the old Alexande
Line, acting as dish washer an
general assistant to the cook to pa

a man of thrice his weight and
half again as tall, and whipped
him out of his boots. This event
established his reputation, and he
forged ahead, soon becoming a
broker, and next a merchant, and
now nothing less than million dol

steamers satisfies his ambition.
He is up to dateand unspoiled, for
he has taken life by the seamy
side, and can pity man down on
his luck. Here, then, is the pro.

AFTER EXPRESS COMPANIES.
Must Not Carry Unstamped Envelopes
This Is to Prevent the Carrying of Lot
terry Matter.

Washington, January 15.-Ihe post
office department will in a short time is
sue a circular to express companies
warning them against carrying matter
in envelopes without stamp. as it is
first matter, and according to the
law should not be transported unless en-
closed in stamped envelope. This ac-
t1on will be taken to prevent express
companies from carrying lottery adver-
tisements. Quite lot OF circulars and
other matter are sent through express
companies, and forwarded to the depart
ment by the receivers of such matter.
Tine lottery companies since they have
been prohibited the use of the mails,
nav rs cents to express companies to
send letters that if transported by mail
would cost only two cents in postage.
When the lottery people send them in
stamped envelopes by express the de-
partment has no redress. Frequently the
express companies carry this matter to
certain points on their lines and then
mail it to its destination. The attention
of the department is called to such cases.
Government inspectors are row inves-
tigating the violations by the express
companies of the postal laws and are en-
deayoring to secure specific cases against
them. Among the companies that have
been carrying lottery packages, it is
said. are Wells, Fargo & Co., the South
ern Express Company. Adams Express
Company, and the United States Express
Company.

Several Workmen Were Injured-The
Heavy Roof Was Blown rs Feet-Panic
Stricken Citizens Fled From Their
Houses in Their Night Clothes.
Maiden, Mass, January 16.-A terrible
explosion shook Maiden as the clocks
were striking 10 last night. 1t was I'M
mediately followed by an alarm from
the gas house. The brick building of
the Maiden and Melrose Gas Light Com
pany on Charles street, near the Boston
ments. The building contained the pu-
rifying room and appliances for manu-
featuring and purify ing gas. 1t was IS
feet long by 25 feet high, and about 20
feet wide. 1t had double walls and ex-
ira brick supports. Only one small cor
er, containing few bricks, is left in
tact. The roof was blown across the
tracks, rs feet distant. The wall facing
Charles street was blown across the
street, and valuable machinery blown
to pieces and strewn about the yard.
The explosion also broke a number of
| windows in the surrounding houses, the
| lnh abltants OF which quickly led, terrl-
| fed, into the streets in their night
clothes. The whole city was alarmed
and hundreds of people focked to the
scene. The gas and wreckage caught fire,
and the flames leaped 25 feet into the
| air. The fire department soon extin-
| guished the flames. Patrick Monahan,
who had charge of the works, told re-
porter the explosion and fire was caused
by escaping gas, which came from the
purifying room through some unknown
outlet into the outer room, where it
came in contact with lighted lamp.
John Noonan, the worst injured of the
men, was in the room. All his clothing
was burned from his back, the skin on
his face, head and arms hung in shreds,
and it is feared he inhaled the flames.
Patrick Monahan received a mum ber OF
bad burns about the face and hands, as
did James Sullivan. another workman.
They are not serious. The sother three
workmen in the building escaped with
out injuries. The loss to the Maiden
and Melrose Gas Company is $4,000,
and the accident will seriously cripple
it's plant. The supply of gas for the
cities Of Maiden, Medford and Everett
and the town of Melrose will be very
| light. and perhaps none can be supplied
until repairs are made.

Decision in the Case.

The Matter Was of Such Gravity Though
that the Action Taken in the Matter
Was Not Surprising.
Washington, January 15.-Secretary
Herbert today rendered decision in the
case of Naval Cadet bennett of Maine.
The Secretary says that review of the
case generates doubt in my mind as
to whether Cadet Dennett is not inno-

against him dismissed, and he will be
released permanently from arrest. In
conclusion. it is proper to remark that
the evidence in this case makes it one
of extraordinary interest as well as grav-
ity, and it is not surprising that the
board which investigated the matter at
the academy should have reached con-
cIusion different from that at which

Rome, January 15.-General Barratler1
has teIegraphed to the war office that
Sunday last he made an attack upon the
byssinians under Res Mangagoia, and
after severe fighting the Italian troops
were victorious. A large number of
Abyssinians were killed and many tax
en- prisoners. The prisoners attribute the
victory of the Italians to their use of
the explosive, balistile. Ten thousand
A byssinians were engaged in the fight.
and the Italians with their native allies,
numbered 1000 Res Mangagoia, who ex-
nected his Dervish allies to make SIM
fntaneous attack, crossed the river Belesa
in the face of the Italians at 8 O'Clock
in the morning. Under the fire OF the
italian machine guns the Abyssinians
suffered heavily, and soon retired. They
renewed the attack later, concentrating G
their efforts on the Italian flank. At
this iuucture the Italians we're joind by
s0o0 men under General Arimonde, who
made a forced march of IS miles. The
a hvssinians then fled in disorder.
