Didn't want to be Pooled.

Some years ago ! was prosecuting at
tOrney down in North Carolina said
Judge w. +. LoclSett of that state to the
Washington Post. "a cOlored citizen of
grand jury and was on trial for the lar
ceny of some hogs. There wasn't a doubt
of his guilt, for he had been taken red
handed in possession of the stolen swine.
The prisoner had no money to pay an
attorney. so the court appointed a young
lawyer, who, up to that time, had never
had a case, to defend the accused. The
yOungSter wasn't lacking in ShreWdnesS.
SO he called for a jury of colord men, as
he had the right to do under the law.
then went forward, introduced conclusive
testimony TO establish the guilt of the
prisoner, and sat down without making
any speech, for 1t was too plain a case
to call for an argument. But my legal
opponent got up and made a fiery har-
angue. lie wasn't an impressive-look
man, nature having denied him all physi-
cal graceS, and endOWing him moreover
with pair of circular-shaped legs that
caused all the small boys in the commu-
the streets. But he had talented lungs
and these he exercised with good effect
for his client that day.
The jury of his peers wasn't out over
ten minutes when they came back with
a verdict of not guilty Everybody was
astOnished and the judges face REDEEMED
with indignation. Then he let out and
told the jurymen in plain English what
he thought of a set of men who would
render such a travesty on justice In
conclusion he said: / guess I will have
this jury polled, and was about to give
an order to that effect when the foreman.
a great strapping fellow, a plantation
hand, black as the ace of spades, rose
evidently in great mental perturbation,
and said:
" No. ledge, yer honah, please don't
poll us-poll dat little bow-legged lawyer
over dere; he was de one what told US to
find Bill Jones not guilty.

The Oregon Dentist.

"When 1 was travelling through south
eastern Oregon last month"; said Attor-
ney w. w. McNair, according to the San
Francisco Post, Il found myself in a
small village and with a large toothache.
l found the local dentist, with his Whili-
gig engine that resembled a small lathe,
at the livery stable clipping horse.

" Course; what do you suppose I'm here
for?' he replied i'm a nettled tone.

A stand of in Values.

Fifty years or more ago. remarked the
old gentleman, according to the New York
Sun, Il was merchandising on the Missfs-
sippi. That is. had a boat loaded with
all sorts of things that would sell. and
floated with it from Cairo to New or
leans, dickering at various points along
the shore. Sometimes we sold for cash,
but often we traded for country produce
and shipped it on to New Orleans or sold
il in the larger towns. One OF our leading
articles was whisky, and we sold and
traded tremendous lot of il to the thirs-
ty at every point we landed. After we had
been out about ten days a fellow came
aboard one day and wanted to swan a
dog for a gallon of whisky. After some
haggling he got the liquor and we got the
dog. We left pretty soon afterward and
as we fioated out into the river the man
with the whisky jug. still uncorked, stood
on the bank and watched us 20. When we
had got to what he thought was 4 safe
distance, he began to guy us
"Oh, what a dog" he shouted HE amt

ever sucked a aig er killed a sheen. HE'S

TO scorn and his gang Joined with him.
Wait till you try that whisky shouted
our entire crew. and then we laughed a
laugh that we knew was "A winner for

Yachting Into Notice

Mr.. Teiichi Yamagata, a Japanese gen
tleman presumably residing in New York,
has written an article for the New York
Press in which he predicts that yachtsmen
representing his country will seek to enter

Ex-SpeaKer crisp is quoted in our dis

declared in New York in favor of Whitney

dency. The alleged interview was print

reporters must have seen him and in

And There's no bounty!
From the New orleans Picayune Dem).

The sugar crop will, without doubt, be
a large one. although some falling off as
compared with last year, is looked for:
As to prices, the general consensus of
opinion favors a generally better range
than prevailed year ago. The European
beet sugar crop will be much behind last
season in yield and there is every promise
of a short Cuban yield. Both these causes
ought to help prices, particularly as a gen.
eral improvement in trade can be counted
on to increase consumption.

Spanish Minister DeLome wishes the Gu
ban insurgents had spunk enough to
stand up and fight. instead of bushwhack-

when they are not looking. Well, now. if
we remember rightly the Cuban forces
stood up and fought all right not long
ago at or near a little town called Valen-
zuela. Gen. Martinez Campos was in front
of them, and when the fighting was over
Campos' forces were nearly smashed to
pieces. and the general himself had a mar
row escape from capture or death. There
is no trouble about the insurgents fight
ing. 1t suits their purpose better now to
carry on a guerilla warfare.

A Rate War Ended.

For some months a war of rates has
been waged between competing Transact
lantic steamship lines, with the result that
steerage passenger rates between Europe
and America have been cut to ridiculous
ly low figures. Some of the
lines have been carrying steer
age passengers for as little as $40.
Freight rates have also been lowered.
First class passenger rates, however, have
been maintained, the companies finding
sufficient business in that line to fill their
cabins without making concessions. 1t
seems, however, that the war is now about
over. and that both the rates that were
cut and those that were not will shortly
be raised. The big steamship companies
of England and the continent of Europe,
have entered into an agreement for the
restoration of rates and the apportioning
of the business. The announcement of
such an agreement has come from London
by cable.
The agreement is said to cover explic-
lilly only steerage business, though it is
believed first and second cabin business.
and freights also, will be brought in I'M
der it. Storage rates, it is said, VIII be
put at a figure higher than they have been
for years. There is also a feature of the
agreement which provides for differentials
upon a system similar to that employed by
the great railroad associations, and there
are other details which make it appear
that the movement is in the direction of
a pooling of interests. The agreement will
go into effect about Oct. l. That date
will probably be too late to have much
effect upon the pockets of the tourists
from this country who are now hurrying
home! from abroad but next year it will
increase the tax upon their incomes.
The South Carolina constitutional con-
vention bids fair to create more new Of

The new counties will each require an adj

posed that a new executive bureau be
