IMPECUNIOUs ON $4,000.
This spendthrift Son Did Not Forget.
However, His Benefactor.


From Harpers Magazine.
Rash borrowers are unhappily for their
victims, hardly ever advertised If they
should gain such nOtoriety as they merit
many of the yet unplucked might be pre-
served. But, as it is, they go from one
neighborhood which they have fleeced to
another yet unshorn This is easy in New
york, with its distances, well-defined So
cal boundaries, and diversity of popula-
ton, all of which assist the borrower in
plying his dishonest trade. In that city
only TWO persons, it is said, are sure to
ind fellow-the woman who is in love
with him, and the man who wants to Dor
row money of him.
A conspicuous borrower was the son of a
noted New York millionaire, who allowed
MIN only $5,OOe a year, because the son fire.
quenuE gambled, which outraged the faith
err auStere business sense. The young
man was extravagant, and made up for
his inadequate income by raising the wind
wherever he could, depending upon his ex-
pectations.
One of his largest creditors was a distin-
guished Journalist, by no means rich, but
very kind-hearted, who let him have
through amiable weakness, what he asked
for without any thought of repayment
n Q borrowed, commonly in small amounts
through long series of years, frequently
journeys to Washington, Albany Chicago
and elsewhere, and improving the occasion
financially. The millionaire only heard
long after his son had become almost a
of what had been going on between them
and hurried to the editors office to express
his mind.
Mr.. - he exclaimed angrily. 81 un-
derstand that you're lending my son -
money. l want you to know that / won't
pay a. dashed dollar of his debts to any
body"
The newspaper chief, who continued
writing at his desk, never looked up, but
merely retorted: ''Who the hades asked
you to?" And Croesus flung himself out
in increased temper. He was amazed to
find a man who had no reverence for
wealth. and who could lend money inter
minably from pure beneVolence.
After some years the journalist died, in
the prime of his intellect, with a shrunK-
en- estate, and widely lamented Then
the rich man. out of genuine regard for
his memOry-he did not consider that he
owed him anything-presented his chill
dren with a number of hrst-mortgage rail-
way bonds. Ere long he, too, went to his
grave, leaving to his kindred an enor-
nous fortune. The improvident son, not
satisfied with his small share brought
suit against his elder brother for recov-
cry, and the latter family COMPROMISED
by allowing him $1,000 600 Then. to the
establishment of everybody, he paid to the
celebrated editors heirs every cent. in
Guiding interest to date, he had borrowed
the whole sum amounting, it is said to
about $4,000. He had always said thar
he would discharge the debt, but nobody
believed him, of course, the creditor least
of all. If the journalist could have known
it he would have turned with astonish-
ment in his coffined sleep.

DEFEAT OF THE PILOTAGE BILL.
Representative COOper's Part in
Bringing About the Result.

st. Augustine. Fla, April 1O.-The defeat
of the bill to repeal the compulsory pilot
age system by the House of Representa-
tives is received here with much satisfac-
ton, as ii no doubt is in every seaport city
of this state and the south, and it is ius-
uce to the representative from this district
that his eXertions in the premises be mem
toned Mr.. Cooper is a member of the
committee on merchant marine and is the
author OF the minority report on the pilot
age bill which was adopted, making the re-
suit the killing of the bill. His efforts in
behalf of the pilotage system which sought
to be destroyed by his bin deserve the APP
state, but of the entire south and demon
strates influence and tact rarely possessed
by one OF only few years in national poll

NIagnetized Corset steeIs.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
Every day something new is found
about electricity and it's effects" said Mr.
Fay of the Southern Pacific. do you
know that nine-tenths of the umbrella
that men carry nowadays are magnetized
Well they are, and all that is necessary
your knife. or, better still. a small pen
point against the steel rib The attraction
is very perceptible and 1t is caused by
the carrying of the article inside of the
electric cars. The umbrella is rested upon
the floor near the motors and the prox-
unity of the metal causes a certain guam
tity of the fluid to find a permanent lodg-
ment in the ribs.
Carrying out the idea, it is very likely
that the corset steels of the ladies are
similarly affected, and think what the
consequences would be if a young man
with steel cuff buttons should hug a girl
with magnetized corset steels."

The Waverley Wheel is the strongest
and consequently the most durable wheel
on the market. We can get hundreds of
letters of testimony to this effect.
The list price of bicycle is no longer
an indication of its grade. Many ma
chimes listed at 500 are openly sold as low
as $50 or less, but for more if the pur-
chaser is an inexperienced one The
Waverley is listed at the very lowest
figure for high grade and is not allowed
to be sold for less. The purchaser has
the satisfaction of knowing that in paying
$50 for a Waverley he is buying at the
very lowest figure.

Twenty-nine States for Him.

Iweuty-n1nc btateo hOr
The naming of delegates to the Repub-
Ican national convention has closed. The
great body of "kingmakers" has been COM
pleted and conservative analysis OF its
composition shows, to Washington cor
respondent, that Mckinley will have more
than enough votes to nominate him on the
first ballot.
Gen. Grosvenor, OF Washington, tha
chief spokesman Of the Mckinley cam
paign, gave out his final bulletin at the
capital the other evening. 1t was as fol-
lows:
Last week closed the election of dele
gates to the ST. Louis convention. and
Mckinley was indorsed by all the States
that expressed an opinion during the
week-Washington Wyoming, West Vir-
ginia and North Carolina. The free silver
States refused the Endorsement OF Me
Kinley, and their delegates are un;n-
structed as TO persons, but they have re-
ceived very peremptory orders as to prin-
ciples. There are now elected 0lS dele
gates, but four in Arizona, four III New
Mexico and four in Oklahoma must de-
pend upon the future action of the ma
tional convention for seats in that body,
the official call authorizing them to elect
only two delegates in each of the terri
tories.
"The following States have elected either
solid Mckinley delegations or delegations
with majority of Mckinley men, so that
it may be conceded that McKinley's fol-
lowing will control these States. to wit:
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connect
cut, Arizona, Florida, Georgia. Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan,

Collision Off Racine.

The schooner Mary ID. Aver collided
with the steamer Onoko, in Lake Michi-
gan, off Crosse Point. Eleven hours
later, while the steamer City Of Duluth
was trying to tow it ashore near Racine,
the schooner sank, and five of the crew
were drowned and the remaining two
were saved and taken to Chicago
From the time of the collision until she
was picked up, the Aver drifted dis
tance of forty-ive miles. The spot where
she was taken hold Of by the City of Du-
luth was about fifteen miles from shore
There was a dense fog on the lake at
the time, and with but an instant's warn
ing the schooner loomed up directly ahead
of the steamer. The long jib-boom of the
Aver ran into the pilot house of the
Onoko barely missing the whcelman, and
then tore its way out through the end
The rail from bow TO quarter was torn
from its fastenings by the jib-boom, and
at last that spar gave way. The bows Of
the schooner were broken in by the inn
pact of the collision, and her master imme-
diately ordered her anchor overheard.
The Onoko. which is one Of the few iron
Minch feet of Cleveland, was coming up
Lake Michigan loaded with iron ore for
the Illinois Steel Company at South Chi
cago. The Mary ID. Aver one of Ed Il.
Ayers fleet of cedar vessels, was bound
down the lake light from Chicago to AL
pena. Rain had been falling heavily all
the evening, making it impossible to see
any distance.
