Captain John A. Duble, an old Mis-
gissippi steamboat man, tells the Wash
ington Post a story of a game of cards
played by a cotton broker named Weed
during the war. 'He boarded my boat"
he says, Eat Cairo after he had made a
successful trip off a cargo of cotton for
the landing. He placed in the clerks
office of the boat box about the size of
a candle box, but securely nailed and
strapped with iron bands. Weed hailed
me as was passing through the cabin.
Captain said he, send me boy and
your carpenter When they were on
hand he told the boy to bring the box
out and the carpenter to open it. 1t
was full of crisp greenbacks. Then he
proceeded to run up against the game
OF a gang of old river sharks, and by
the time we got down stream he did not
have a dollar. He told me he lost $780,
600 between st. Louis and New Orleans

In the matter of suicides, both as to
number and manner of execution, Ger
many still leads. The other day two
young Berlinerst both consumptives
and tired of life, met in a train by ac-
cident. They were both on the way to
a deep, smooth lake in the vicinity,
where they meant to drown themselves.
One had confided his purpose to the 9TH
er, and together they carried out their
purpose. But a queerer suicide still
was that of Berlin stock gambler in
a hotel in Vegesack, near Bremen. He
had lost his money on change, and no.
titled his brother in Hamburg of his in
tention to kill himself When the
brother arrived he found the other dead
and beside his bed lay all the papers
and letters giving complete information
as to his losses. The owner of the hotel
at the same hour received a registered
letter from his dead guest. The letter
had been mailed in Berlin the night be-
fore, and it told the boniface that the
Hamburg brother would pay all dam
age, which the brother did.

Awhile ago street railroad company
in Pennsylvania, which sought to re-
cover on contract for advertising in
its cars, failed in court for the reason
that advertising was not it's legitimate
business. The courts are again asked
to pass on this interesting question. A
stakeholder in a Pittsburg street-rail-
road corporation is suing for an injunc-
ton to restrain the corporation from
engaging in the advertising business.
The corporation. the petitioner says
was created for the sole purpose of con-
structing and operating street rail-
road, and for the conveyance of passen-
gers and produce only on it's railroad
1t has no right to power to engage in
any other business, and it's wrongful
entry into the advertising business puts
in peril the charter and franchise of the
corporation and the interests of the
stockholders.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Secretary Olney
has received by cable the appeal from tho
Americans resident at Johannesburg for a
diplomatic representative of the United
States to look after their interests. There
is no suggestion that this government in
tervene to secure from the Transvaal gov
ernment fair treatment politically for resi-
dent Americans.
The United States have only one diplo-
matte representative in all Africa, William
II. Heard, the American minister resident
and consul general in Liberia. Diplomatic
business with that continent is done
through the medium of representatives in
European countries which have African
colonies. 1t is only within the past two
years that the United States have had even
a consular officer at johannesburg, and he
is nothing more than an agent accounta-
bic to the United States consul at Cape
Colony, Mr.. Knight.
The president might send a commission
er to the Transvaal for a special occasion,
but If it is desired to maintain a perma-
nent diplomatic representative there which
recent events indicate would be prudent,
this can be done only by authority of con-
gress, which must make the appropriation
for the maintenance Of allegation. 1t is
probable that recommendation that this
be done will be made shortly.
The appointment of a minister to the
Transvaal would not, it is said, signify
that the United States government is dis
posed to commit itself to policy of inter
fering in the internal affairs of the Trans
vaal, as is desired by the American and
other foreign residents in the country.
The functions of minister would be linn
tied to seeing that our citizens are secure
in the enjoyment of life and property and
arc not Disseminated against.

A Hint 10 would Be Dudes.

"There are fewer conspicuously dressed
men to be found ON Broadway now than
at any time within my memory" said
a tailor the other day. "The same men
who spent money and time a few years
ago in trying to be eccentric in dress are
now going to the other extreme. They
have given up the extremely high collar
that was once badge of the dude, and
their clothes are now strictly conven-
tional. We are suffering from a reac-
tiop. and that does not please the tailoTs.
In the days of Berry Wall there were
lots of men in this town who were
spending money freely ON their ward
robes in their attempts to outdO each
other. They were conspicuous ON Broad
way and Fifth avenue. 1t is unusual
now to find a man il the parade whose
clothes attract attention because they
are e1treme.-New York Sun.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Jan. 28.-There is a
rumor here that Russia is arranging with
the sultan for the occupation Of Armenia,
but it is not confirmed by any discoverable
signs and is disoredited in diplomatic cir
cles.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The Daily News this
morning prints a dispatch from Vienna
which asserts that news has been received
there from Constantinople and SevastopOl
which agrees that Russia has fleet lying
at Sevastopol and at Odessa, and that the
Caucasian armies of Russia are being
concentrated upon the Armenian frontiers
in readiness to move next spring to realize
the plans of Peter the Great for the parti-
tion of Turkey between the powers, Rus
sia taking Armenia and Constantinople,
France taking Syria and Palestine and
England taking Egypt and the eastern
shores of the Persian gulf, the remainder
of the Turkish empire to be divided among
the other powers.
The Daily News also has dispatch from
Sevastopol which records that secret prep
arations are going forward there Of ship
ping and of armaInents for volunteer
fleet. 1t is the general belief there, this
dispatch affirms, that these preparations
foreshadow some action in the spring

The Actor-Pugilist Thrown Down Stairs
by Philadelphia Fireman.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 81. - Champion
James J. Corbett, while playing at the
National theater, became involved in a
fight with a fireman named William H.
Murphy. Blows were struck on both sides,
and the actor pugilist was unceremonious-
ly tumbled down flight of stairs. The
fight started after Corbett had elected the
fireman from his dressing room, which he
had entered TO order the champion to stop
smoking.
Murphy was detailed at the National,
and while passing Corbett's room smelled
cigarette smoke. He raped at the door,
and as Corbett opened 1t saw him put the
cigarette behind him. Murphy told him it
was against the rules to smoke, and Cor
bett denied that he was doing so. Murphy
insisted, and Corbett then forced him from
the room and locked the door.
Murphy again raped for admittance.
The door was opened suddenly, and he re-
ceived stunning blow in the face which
knocked him from his feet. He arose
quickly, however, and landed one on Cor
belts mouth, drawing blood. The men
then grappled and, reaching stairway,
Murphy caught COrbett by the feet and
sent him sliding to the lower floor Here
they again grappled, when some Of the
stagehands and the company separated
them. The fireman is about % years of
age and of medium build.
