Didn't Get what She Wanted.

Two pretty young women entered a
large uptown grocery one evening last
week, says the New York sun. From
they belonged to some boarding school in
the neighborhood, and had stolen out for
a few moments to buy dainties, which
they meant to smuggle to their rooms.
There's one thing don't like about the
clerks in this store" said one of them,
while they waited for the salesman, land
that's the way they insist on telling you
that you don't want what you do want,
and that you do want what you don
want. Every time I come in here L have
the same experience, and I'm just tired
of it. The next time it happens I'm going
to tell the clerk just what L think of
him."
At that moment a clerk approached and
asked the young women what they want
ed. The one who had so much to COM
plain about pointed at one of row of
cracker tins and said
Il want a pound of those"
"Oh, no. you don't" said the clerk,
suavely, you want some of these, or
these here; they're all very nice"
The young woman threw a glance which
said: "What did / tell your at her COM
panion. and turning to the clerk said
mo I don't anything of the kind. I
want these and no Others
Il beg your pardon he began, 81
Never mind what you thought" said
the young woman. Il guess l know what
l want. Now just let me have a pound
companion with look of triumph on her
face which plainly meant: Didn't 1
squelch him"
VERY well, madam" said the clerk
humbly, but may l ask whether they
are for yourself?''
"Weil, of all the impertinent ques-
TONS began the young woman, when
her companion interrupted, and, turning
to the clerk, said:
why do you ask"
"Oh, because they're dog biscuit" re-
piled the clerk. indifferently. still. of
course, if you want them you can have
them
Never mind faltered the young wo-
man who had insisted on having what
she wanted. Il guess 1 don't want any
thing at ALL" and she strutted out of
the store looking very much ashamed and
followed by her companion, who was
struggling TO hide her laughter.
The clerk didn't say anything but there
was a satisfied smile on his face as he
banged the cover down on the can of dog
biscuit and walked away to wait on an9
other customer.

In connection with the frances which
have occurred in this city recently. it is
of interest to note that a New York med
ical scientist says that in the majority of
instances the phenomena are real, and
not shams. The state of trance cannot
be called coma; it is closer to hypnotic
sleep, with which it has much in common
1t is of frequent occurrence among those
who have not learned TO control their
nerves by mental effort, and is the result
of reaction from high nervous tension.
The person affected may be wholly or
partially conscious. Sometimes one may
be able to tell all that goes on around
him without being able to move or
speak. At other times the condition may
be similar to normal sleep, with dreams or
visions, and at still other times the state
may be one of Inconsistencies. The Wis
ions depend upon the state of mind of
the trance subject at the time Of falling
into the condition.

The people Of Montgomery county have
done well to put themselves on record,
in such forcible language, with regard
10 the Perdue lynching. Their action
shows that the majority sentiment of the
county condemns the outrage upon the
law, and that the people of the county may
be depended upon to deal out justice to
the lawbreakers. The machinery of the
courts will be put in motion, and backed
by public sentiment and aided by the
reward offered by the governor. it is to
be expected the mill of the courts will
grind a healthful grist.

To Raise the Revenues.
From the Phradelphia Ledger Nnd.)

As an offset to the demand for increas-
ed revenues from these two sources (du-
ties on wool and increased duties on
wooden manufacturers,) there Is one for
additional taxes on whisky beer and to-
bacco. in all of the latter's various forms.
A slightly increased tax on these articles,
which are generally injurious luNuries,
would entail little or no hardship on con-
sumers, but higher duties on wooden man
ufacturers would increase the cost of all
kinds Of mems, WOmens and children S
clothing, Of blankets, carpets and other
ueccssaries OF life. and be a burden up
on everybody. III congress has 10 decide
between the consumers OF perniciOus lux
uries and the consumers Of absolute nee
csSarics Of living. wisdom and morals
would seem 10 suggest that IL should
oblige the former. and not the latter. %
bear the heavier burden OF taxation.

TranspIanted SectiOnaIism.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.)

1t is one of the mysteries of the agita-
ton carried on in England by women
southern lynching, which is almost ex-
clusively for assault upon women. and
not at all against lynchings-often for
tritiing offenses-in other parts of the
union nor against lawlessness in general.
What is still more curious, not word
is said of sympathy with the women who
are the victims of the persons lynched.
No missionaries are sent to beseech the
assailants of women to desist from their
assault but they are viewed with ten
der interest. Lynching is a disgraceful
usurpation of law but such philanthro-
py is too morbid and unnatural to COM
mand the approval of reasonable people,
1t IS one of the absurdties of it that it is
a transplanted sectionalism that had its
origin in this country.

The Chicago Tribune speaks favorably
of the Georgia scheme to establish cot
ton exposition in Chicago. 1t says, how
ever, that one thing would be necessary
to success in the development of the trade
between the west and the south which
the exposition is intended to promote.
That one thing is the breaking down of
the tariff wall which for sixteen years
has existed along the bank of the Ohio
river" The tariff referred is that OF
railroad transportation rates. The Tri-
bune charges that the barrier has been
raised by the southern railroads. and says
the southern states should insist that il
be taken down.

There would seem to be need for the
Bush bill investigation TO go further.
Mr.. Willingham of the late investigating
committee, after having signed the re-
port saying the committee was satisfied
that neither the friends nor the oppon-
ents of the bill had raised funds for lille
gal purposes. now says he is satisfied
that one of the funds was raised for the
purpose of improperly influencing men,
bers of the legislature. The inference is
that Mr.. Willingham has learned that
some of the money was improperly used.

has any such information, it ought 10
be given TO the public.

opportunity,

Congressman Livingston of this state, in
saying that congress would declare war
against Great Britain in the event of that
government declining to do as his Vene-
zuelan resolution says and suggests that
it ought to do. makes the mistake of
confusing congress with himself. There
are several hundred members of con-
gress, and Col Livingston probably can
speak for only one out of the whole mum
Der, The congressman's activity on be-
half of the Venezuelans, however, proves
that he is grateful for the great blow
out they gave him some time ago Their
attentions tickIed him nightly; and now
he is reciprocating. That's about all
there is in it.

A seven story building in Chicago has
been legally condemned as unsafe Mr.. W.
S. Smith, a civil engineer of note, says that
many others of Chicago's great buildings
must fan under the ban of the law. be-
cause of faulty foundations. The difficulty
seems to be in the fact that the clay of
Chicago's soil is of varying consistency.
and that while in spo& it is capable of
sustaining 1900 pounds per square foot, in
other spots closely adjacent it will sus-
tain only 1900 pounds per square foot.
Many of the great buildings have been
erected upon plans estimating the sustain
ing power of the clay to be uniformly 5000

 OUR NATAL DRY DOCKS.
That at Port Royal Is Finished and It will Float Our Largest War ships.
 From the Baltimore Sunl

lpIOLl LHe DdlUlllOF6 puU,J
 Washington, Feb. 15.-The great nav
 al dry dock at Port Royal, s, C.. the
 largest yet completed on the east coast,
 will be ready for the reception of war
 ships as soon as the channel leading
 from the river has been dredged out
 to permit the big battle ships to enter. The actual work on the dock has all
 been finished, the water let in, and the
 coffer dam tested. Dredges a1e now at
 work digging out the bar which ob- | struets the entrance to the dock, and
 this will be removed and the dock turn ed over to the government before the battle ships building at Cramps are
 ready to be taken from the water. At present there is no dock large enough
 to accommodate the navy's greatest ships The Indiana and Massachusetts, now nearing completion, cannot be dock ed and their bottoms painted until the new dock at Port Royal is finished, Neither the New York docks or the ones at Newport News and Norfolk can hold them. Both ships, it is understood, will require a dock early this spring, and after their steam trials at sea will be sent to Port Royal for attention.
 This station is designed principally for ships attached to the West Indian fleet in the winter months, and is the only one on the Atlantic coast south of Norfolk. It is well situated for re- pairing the bottoms of ships by the mild climate, and the harbor leading to it will be one of the safest in southern waters. Great cruisers like the New York and the Minneapolis and Colum- bia can be taken in with ease, and even the battle ship Iowa, the largest of our warships, can be doeked and her bot tom painted in two or three days. Facil- ities for slight repairs incident to dock ing will be provided by the navy de- partment. and in time it is expected that Port Royal will be made repair station as well as backyard.
 Plans are now being prepared for the neY dock which it is proposed to con- struct at Algiers, near New Orleans | Surveys have been made and land pur- chased for the biggest dock yet under taken by the government. Some years | ago a board was directed by Secretary | Tracy to investigate the most available | points on the gulf for the location of | dock and repair station, and Algiers was the unanimous selection, owing to | the great depth of water 1t provides and | the adaptability for naval work. The | new dock will be built of concrete. and | Is to be thirty feet deeper than any in the country. It's dimensions will be | greater than those of the Puget sound | dock, and It's cost about one million and | l n1Iartar nf dollars Tho prAsent naval | appropriation bill carries and item of S100,000 with which 1t Is proposed to award a contract, and leave other con gresses to authorize the remaining mon- ey necessary to carry out the project.
