Reunited After MANY Years

There was a shock at detective head
quarters, says the Washington Times.
Two detectives embraced and swore to
solve the silver robberies. The past of the
detectives is not very clear Very few peo-
pie know that detectives have had a past
Some confidential friends are in the Sc
cret that detectives were born but their
biographical information extends no fur
Their.
Detectives Helan and Hartigan have
worked side by side in the police depart
ment of Washington for many years. Last
night they were discussing the career of
a New York dip"
How do you know so much about New
York?' said Helan to Hartigan.
Born there said Hartigan How
does my New York learning interest your
Because | was born there, too" said
Helan, as the detectives shook hands.
Yes. sir said Hartigan; Il was born
at 14 West Twenty-sixth street"
Gee, whiZz," shouted Hartigan; Il was
born in the same house on the second
floor"
Holy smoke" said Hartigan: Il was
born in the back room on the second
floor"
That's the room was born in, said
Helan.
"When?" said Hartigan
May 3, 1865 said Helan.

Montana represent 132159 of them and

cause of their disposition to hold up

put money into their own or into the

Under the Democratic Tariff.
From the Nashville American lind

The Mckinley boomers reiterate the
charge that the Wilson bill is damaging
and running American manufacturers but
they will hardly refer as proof of their
assertions thai fine Carnegie company
has just secured a good paying contract
and this they did in a competition with
the rail makers of the world Then, too.
it must be remembered that since the Will
of manufacturers have far exceeded the
exports for like period in the history of
the country.

He Can Beat Prof. Atwater.

Prof. Atwater's method of cheap living
may be admirable for some localities. but
it wouldn't answer for this section of the
country. The colored brother of the South
Atlantic states long since solved the prob
lem OF ,cheapia and healthy food. He doesn't
worry himself about that problem. He
plants a few demleys (Which is short for
Demerara sweet potatoes). a little corn,
raises a few shotes (there are several
ways of raising shotes), keeps a few
chickens and with oysters, fish, crabs and
shrimp. which are plentiful IN the creeks
and which are used for home consumption
or as the means of getting little money
which he needs for extras and a supply of
clothing, it may be fairly claimed that he
can beat Prof. Atwater as a scientific
cheap liver. In the language of tine ma
tive, "all he has to do is to lie in de sun
shine and wait for de vftuals."

spnniards becoming Desperate.
From the Chicago Times-Herald Qnd)

The sharp succession of skirmishes and
pitched battles with which the newspa-
pers are teeming at present can be
charged to the Impotence of the Span

and the mastery policy of retreating and
doubling which Maceo and Gomez have
followed is not to their liking Tired of
hide and seek they are bidding desperate

tages of position in order to provoke the

charging across an open field while the
foe drenches them with shot from be-
events of the next month will determine
From this distance they appear to be at
the last resort of beaten and despairing
commanders.

sites of Government works.

The public iss waiting for booming
dispatches from Port Royal They may
be expected when a full moon and favor
able winds put sufficient water into Port
Royal harbor to enable the battleship In
diana to get into the government dry
dock. The Indiana is gradually drawing
less water on account of the consumption
of her coal by her furnaces. and the con-
sumption of her provisions by her officers
and crew. If the vessels armament We're
put ashore and if her other
heavy articles were thrown over
board she might be got into
the dock when the favorable conditions
already mentioned prevail, and Port Roy
al would then have an opportunity to
have a hurrah over the dock.
Leaving Savannah out of the question,
so as not to arouse the ire of the few
inhabitants of Paris Island, where the
dry dock is" the Morning News wants
to call attention of the outside world to
the fact that this county of Chatham has
half dozen sites for seaports, some Of
which are smart settlements. There is the
town of Warsaw the ever blooming Thun-
derbolt, famous for its good cheer, stu
ated, as the geography would put it, on
Wilmington river near Warsaw sound.
Then there is Beaulieu and Montgomery
on Vernon river, and Rosedew on the Lit
| tie Ogeechee, and several other places on
| the Great Ogeechee. With sufficient
booming there is no reason why they
shouldn't be regarded as suitable places
for government dry docks. Nearly all of
| them have railroad tracks leading to all
! parts of the world and ito deep water. and
/ no banks GinancaD, or other monopolis-
tic institutions to retard their growth,

indiana would prefer Thunderbolt doubt

John L. Sullivan, the prize fighter, and
Ira d. Sankey. the evangelist. were fellow
passengers on a railway train in Cali
fornia the other day. They were intro
duced to each other. and to all appear
ances each enjoyed the conversation
which followed. Among other things Sui
Ivan said to the evangelist: Now, Mr.
Sankey. we all know you are sincere, but
don't you think that even in your game
there are lot of bunco steerers?" Sulli-
van says when he asked this question he
noticed that Mr.. Sankey smiled and took
it good naturally. and also that he en-
tered mo general denial The Sullivan

were men in both pugilism and the pulpit

1t is gratifying TO note the activity of

there are reasons for hoping that the

Both Senate and House have expressed
themselves 10 the effect that
United States senator's ought TO
be elected by the people. It
would seem. therefore. that there ought
not TO be any trouble about submitting

the House have nOt been able at this ses-

The dispatches do not give the commit

docks are needed; it must be- therefore,
that there is a want of information with
regard to proposed locations. A few. years
ago, when Harrison was President. Tracy
was Secretary of the Navy and Gamer

The Augusta Chronicle the other day

of the issues will have been made. and if

puhlicans to take part in the ballot for

that the Chronicle will labor with its

bring them to see the fairness of the pro-
position as the Chronicle sees it, They
profess to desire only a fair fight.
