cry of Whisky at Arkansas City.

St. Louis. Dec. I'm the St. Louis
circuit court, Mr.. Shaughnessy.a liquor
dealer, recovered judgment against the
St Louis and San Francisco Railway
company for the value of certain liquors
which the railway company received
for transportation to Arkansas city,
Kan. The goods were consigned to
Shaughnessy himself but the arrange
ment was that one Doan should receive
them-he being Shaughnessy agent at
that point
Doan got the whisky and sold it. and
it is alleged that he did not send the
proceeds to Shaughnessy, and the lat
ter then sought to recover from tine
railway company. The question was
whether DOan was Shaughne
agent Judge WithroW gave judgment
for Shaughnessy and the court Of ap-
peals affirms the conclusion, although
the case is close on the evidence as to
the question of Deans agency.

Before Members Of Culture Club

Chicago. Dec. 17.-Joseph Jefferson
spoke on THE Drama" yesterday after
noon at the regular semi-mOnthly
meeting of the Chicago Culture club at
Beek's hall, 164 Warren avenue.
He told of the place of the drama
among the arts and spoke of the diff
ference between art and genius He
also compared the actor with the ora
tor and told of their differences.
He said the artist could remodel his
work before it reached the public eye.
but the actor must perform his whole
part before the public. He told a num-
Der of amusing anecdotes in which Car
rick and other Thespians figured.

Mr.. Platt of Connecticut got on his

But it remained for Mr.. Sherman to
formally announce that the Dingley
bill was dead. He said he could not
always speak for his associates. but in
view of what had been said on the floor
he felt he could safely announce now
that the Dingley bill could not be
passed and that it was useless to waste
further time upon it.
This closed the exciting debate and,
upon motion Of Mr.. Quay. the senate
at 3 D. m. went into executive session
and soon adjourned.

MADMAN ON A STEEPLE.

A Sheffield steeple jack has climbed
several spires merely to decorate them
with flags for public rejoicings; an
other climbed to the tower of ROch-
dale Town Hall by the lightning con-
ductor merely to fix a flag. OF mar
row escapes they have many. One
tells how he was standing on the cap
ing of chimney which suddenly gave
way. He seemed certain to fail to the
ground, but the ladder remained firm,
and as he slipped he caught it, and
hung there while the stone went
crashing to the earth alone. The Roch-
dale climber spoken Of once fell 20
feet from a mill at LIMITS, owing
to an accident while he was ladder
ing. He was terribly hurt, but recov-
cred, and still carried on his trade
with mistaken nerve. He once, how
ever had an adventure which exceeds
in thrilling interest all the stories of
steeple-jack daring in the north. He
had a contract to demolish a chimney
near Rochdale station, and went up
one day accompanied by an assistant
who had been drinking. Suddenly
the man gave yell and tried to jump
off the stage; his employer just man.
aged to grab his ankle as he went over
and there for moment the man hung
depending for his life on the strength
of another mans grasp. Then he sue
ceeded in getting hold of the belt
which all climbers wear, and started
to haul him up; bnt the mailman bent
upward and dug his teeth into his pre-
servers thumb, and struggled and
fought viciously. A crowd soon as
sembled below and watched this ex-
element; the combat continued for
some minutes. The man on the top
could not let him down, so in the end
he stunned him by hitting him on the
head with jimmy, and let him down
by rope. Then he followed him and
discharged him on the spot.

JAMAICA'S BANANA KING.
He Was A Yankee Skipper And First
Rr0upht The Eruif To Game Cod IL

He Was A Yankee Skipper And First
Brought The Fruit To Cape Cod.
Something over twenty years ago a
New England skipper used to make
several trips a year from Boston to
the northern ports of Jamaica, and
would return to Cape Cod bay, his
feet schooner laden with bananas. for
which he found ready and renumera-
tive sale. Other vessels were added
to the business, which grew and pros
pered, and soon became too important
longer to depend upon the uncertain
winds, and steamers replaced the
schooners. Bananas were offered in
quantities greater than our Yankee
mariner, with his limited means, could
handle, and a company was formed
in 1877, with capital of 100000, and
two steamers, and the business of sys-
tematically growing the banana for
export to the United States COM
menced. From such small beginnings
sprang the American company, which
now practically controls the fruit ex-
port trade of Jamaica. Its present
capital is 100000, and it has surplus
Of $1,000,000, and employs twelve
steamers 1t ships to the United States
every year about 100000 punches
of bananas, besides upward of 6,000,-
600 coacoanuts, and quantities Of pi-
mento (allspice), coffee, cocoa and ear
ly vegetables. 1t employs nearly two
thousand men. More than six humid
red mules are daily in harness,
engaged in drawing to ports Of ship
ment its varied products. 1t owns and
controls more than twenty estates
comprising nearly $4,000 acres. Free
schools are provided for the children
of its employees. 1t has brought great
prosperity to a languishing country
and practically created an industry;
foresight began all this work and
whose energy is now pushing it on

Jamaicans as the Banana King. ssh
