TILLMAN MADE HER WEEP.

L heard a good story on Ben Tillman
at Chamberlins, in Washington, the
other day which 1 have never heard
told down this way before" said a
well known railway man. when Till
man was making his TRADE against
Cleveland in the Senate, the story goes,
he noticed an old woman in the gal
Iery who seemed convulsed with grief.
The further his speech progressed, the
more intense seemed the old lady's
sobbing.
THE South Carolina Senator was
curious to know why she wept so bit
terly, and at the conclusion of his
fierce harrangue he sought her out in
the gallery and asked the cause.
g Wei, III tell you. sir she replied
between her sobs. Last month a heavy
frost ruined my garden, and only two
" eeks ago my husband died. Then my
little jackass, Ned, who used to wake
me up mornings a-braying took sick
and died too, and when [ heard you a
akin it reminded me so much of him
that 1 just couldn't keep from cry
ing Atlanta Journal.

General DufIeId Gives some Opinions
of His Observations.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-General
DuHield. Superintendent of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, has just returned
to his duties in Washington after an
extended trip along the Pacific coast
and through parts OF Alaska. He said:
THE question of the exact termina-
ton Of the boundary line is now pretty
well settled. All doubts cast by refer
ence to mountain chains or ranges
near the coast, along the panhandle,
fS.ye been disposed of, as it has been
found that there are only two groups
of elevations that can be even remotely
considered as mountain chains, the one
being the Mount ST. Elias chain and the
other the Treadweu chain. The first is
conceded TO be on British soil, while
the latter cannot be brought into dis
cussion with any dignity, as 1t is sim
DIV a group of peaks. The maps pre-
pared by the joint commission named
by this country and Great Britain to
expIore the country are now in the
hands of the two governments. and l
have just been informed that negotia-
lions are about completed looking to
the selection of joint commission to
strike the line between the two coun-
tries from the maps submitted.
The commission named to prepare
the maps went into the field so divided
in each case that each American party
had a British representative, while an
American was present in each British
surveying party to look after the inter
ests of this country. AS a result abso-
lutte fairness was secured, and the re-
suits can be depended on for accuracy.
The gold thus far found is all west OF
the meridian line, and SO far none has
been discovered in the possessions OF
her majesty. The placer mining is all
done along the head waters of Birch
creek, Forty-mile creek and Six-mile
creek. Birch creek is, l judge from my
observations, wholly west of the line.
Forty-mile creek crosses the line into
British territory before emptying into
the Yukon, as do also the western head
waters of Sixty-mile creek, but no gold
has been found in either stream on the
British side of the line, all operations
being confined to the field near the
sources of these creeks

Beet SUGAR Makers Meet.

BERLIN, Sept. 19.-At the national
meeting of beet-sugar manufacturers
in this city this week a resolution was
adopted asking the Reichstag to
amend the existing law so as to elimi-
nate the paragraph restricting and
localiZing the amounts manufactured
by each factory. The Directors were
also requested to prepare plan for
creating a German sugar syndicate
lin view of the dire needs of the in
dustry," and the Government was also
asked to bring an international agree
ment with France and Austria for the
abrogation of direct and indirect eX-
port bounties.

NORWAY's CURIOUS BANK.

Probably the most independent and
/ ariStOcratic bank in the world is the
| NOrges, or National Bank OF Norway
1t seems to be wholly Indifferent tC
doing business of any kind, and when ii
does do it insists upon doing in its
own deliberate way. Socially the
bank is of considerable Importance
! The directors meet twice a week and
these friendly gatherings are said to
be most enjoyable affairs. Loans and
discounts form the chief subjects OF
conversation. No loan or discount
can be made without approval of three
of the directors.
Suppose the directors are to hold a
meeting ON Wednesday, and you want
to borrow $4,000 on Monday. You ap-
ply to Norges Bank, and are told that
the matter will be taken under cOnsid-
GRAFTON at the directors meeting on
Wednesday, and you may look for an
answer to your application by Thurs
day; you simply have to wait.
The Originkof this institution was as
peculiar as its management is unusual.
Soon after the nominal union of Nor
way and Sweden in 1914, the latter
country began to feel the need of great
er money facilities to meet the demands
of the rapidly increasing commerce.
The problem OF securing the necessary
capital for great national institution
was very simple one for the Norwe-
gian government.
It raised stockholders for the bank
just as it raised soldiers for the armies.
Every well-to-do citizen was compelled
to take so much stock. He was al
ways at liberty to take more if he
chose, but always in amounts Invisible
by five. Bookkeeping was made easy
on d new principle, in accordance with
which sums ending in other figures
than five and zero were to be excluded
from the books.
This national bank is also a national
pawnshop. It is authorized by law TO
lend money on any nonperishable
goods, provided they can be deposited
in the bank and kept under lock and
key For this service it charges rather
less than the usual pawnbroker's in
terest, which may, perhaps, account
for the rarity of private ps.wnshops III
Norway In the regular loan depart
ment the curious rule is enforced that
loans may not be made for less than
one month, nor for more than six, and
only for sums of at least $500.

Committeeman Lees Alleged Denial.
HAVANA, Sept. 19.-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, the United States Consul
General here, interviewed today by a
representative OF La Luche' about the
widely circulated report charging Gen
eral Weyler with having had notice
posted at the Las Cubanas directing
that General Lee should be arrested

statements frequently made that he

CHRISTIAN NAMES.

Roughly speaking, there are about
twenty-five names in general circula-
ton, and as IA per cent of female baby
dom answers to the name Of Mary, and
13 per cent of the male progeny is call
ed William, the chances OF mlS-chrlSt-
ian naming the ordinary Sunday school
child are reduced to a mlnima. The
preponderance of Marys and the over
Whelming number of Williams is due
in the first place to the fact that the
former was the great saint-name of the
Middle Ages, which neither the Refor-
nation nor time could dislodge from
public popularity.
The Williams owe the popularity of
their praenomen originally to the Con-
queror and to no other, though both the
greatly TO the strong conservative feel
ing that exists in baptismal family
names. Statistics prove, as it their
habit, that SO per cent Of child life is
loaded with two names at baptism; IA
per cent is content with one and one

After a tie in the ninth inning Of to
Captains Wright and Ferguson agreed to
call it draw, but "A. B. Champion, presi-
dent Of the Cincinnatis, who died last year
IN London, ordered Harry to play t6 out.
Another inning began, when the Reds
scored one run and the Atlantios two, put
ting an end to the greatest string of base
ball victories which viii ever be recorded
This shattered the prestige Of the Cincin-
natl wonders. They were again beaten
by tho Atlantics, and also by the Chicagos
later in the season, and the next year the
famous Red Stockings did not take the
field. Some Of the players went to Boston
and the rest to the Olympios Of Washing
ton.
The success Of the Red Stockings placed
professional baseball on a sure footing,
and it was in these lively days OF the early
popularity Of the game that such veterans
as Ferguson, Harry Wright. Cuthbert,
Matthews and dozen other famous ball
tOsseFs, caught, pitched, batted or ran

When professional ball playing was Off
ciaIly recognized, there arose great oOmpe-
titiOn for players, and from this was evolved
another evil. Players who had made con
tracts with clubs, overcome by the temp
tatiOn Of larger offers, proved false to their
original agreements and igned again with
those making the last and best bids for
their services. These revoIvers, - as they
were called, were legally irresponsible, and
clubs were at their mercy. The managers
were more to blame as tempters than were
the tempted, and after getting tired Of
their own outthrOat tactics the former got
together for mutual protection.
Therefore. in March, 1871. the Profess
sional association was formed. This was
the first convention of delegates from rep
resenJRtive professional clubs. The meet
ing was IN enthusiastic one. The net re-
suit Of the deliberations was the arrange
ment Of a series of games, best three in
five, between each club and each opposing
club.
The contesting teams were the Athletics
of Philadelphia, ChicagOs, BostOns, Mutu-
ais of New York, Olympios of Washington,
Haymakers Of Troy. Kekiongas of Fort
Wayne, Ind, Forest Citys of Cleveland
and the Rockfords
