OF that species to which Senator Raines stands

of which the last is undoubtedly the chief. TO

To promote the capacity OF skish brothers.
To drain out the ieadInS brewertes OF our city.
To keep our patron age among our honorary mem
beers.
To nne disobedient honorary members especially
when skish brothers are broke).
TO see that each and every brosher skish receives
To 40 away with old skIsh and see that new. fresh
skish Is given out on demand.
To avoid the ahominable expense OF paying for
sandwiches on sunday.
Various rules to govern the conduct OF skish
brothers have been formulated into a code, of
which the following sections may DO regarded
as important:
All brother .sishes must. . before sto. applying for mem;

John Willis. a young blucjacket, who received
an honorable discharge from one OF Uncle Sans
cruisers in English waters, and decided to re-
main awhile among his relatives in the neigh
borhood OF Southampton before returning to the
United States to %reenlist, arrived yesterday in
the steerage of the American liner Paris with
Pctress Rooney, n waitress, with whom he had
become acquainted in southampton. John was
smitten with Petress and painted life in America
In such vivid. deop.sca style that Petress decid-
ed that she would come. There was an obstacle,
and that was the lack of money to pay her fare.
She had only $40. The gallant tar had about
$40. and he put his arm about her. after tho
immemorial habit Of gallant tars, and said, with
heartiness: "lOn't let that bother you. I've
got enough in my monk bag to pay for both. I"
Then they shippei for New York.

Advantages Rc Saw In the OctnEon over other
shapes for Eouses-Hia Selection OF Con-
creto for the w~nIls-Story or the Famous
OctnEon House nc FishkIli-on-the-Hudson.
The massive and distinctive building near
Fishkill, long known as "Fowler'a Castle" and
as "Fowler's Folly" was reduced to ruins a few
days ago in order that the ground upon which II
stood might DO put TO other uses. 1t had been
30 strongly built, and Its concrete walls were 30
thick that dynamite cartridges were needed for
itp destruction. For more than forty years 1t
lad been a thing OF interest to ~visitors. and from
the day Of It's erection to that Of its demolition
many people, not only from the regions round
about, but also from afar, went to see It.
1t was built nearly Atty years ago upon a plan
designed by the late Prof. o. 8. Fowler, a man
OF inventive genius and once famous as a specu.
lative and experimental phrenoloRist. Many
erroneous stories have always been current as
to his object in building the octagon house"
and as to the uses TO which he meant to hit It.
The truth in tho case is that 1t was intended as
q home for himself and his family. and when 1t
was completed 1t was occupied by its owner and
his wife, his father and mother and his two
daughters, both Of whom are yet living and are
responsible for the statements here made.
It was in 1s47 that Prof. Fowler purchased

The Fruit Buyers Union. Of which F. r.
FRANKIE OF Schotte & FRANKIE. $50 Washington
street, Is President, Is carrying on a running
fight with the Custom House with regard TO the
way in which the requirements of the Dinghy
law that affect the fruit trade are carried out at
this port. They have already assailed the Ap-
praiser and Surveyor and are prepared to n =
vance on Collector Bidwell on Monday. Mr..
FRANKIE thus explained the difficulty:
The new law provides that fruit shall be ap
praised by weight instead of by the box. This rule
makes It necessary for the fruit to be dumped as
1t is unloaded and repacked. The repacking Is
done by longshoremen, who somehow lack the
dcft and delicate touch characteristic OF profes.
SIGNAL fruit packers. Moreover, they are slow.
What fruit is not ruined by their clumsiness is
injured by the delay. 1t used TO take two days
10 clean up an incoming fruit ship. Now it takes
the greater part Of q week"

IL saw a spectacle from nv

other day which at first ma le me
smile, and then on reflection fllei me
with a feeling not at all akin to merri-
ment," said Congressman Joseph W.
Bailey Of Texas at the Planters.
"Opposite the depot Of a small town at
which my train stopped was a big
group Of gloomy buildings with d
forest Of smokest-cks p]ro,rnting
from their roofs. Plastered all ovpr
the dead walls We're the familiar pho
tographs Of Mckinley, with which
Mark Hanna flooded the country last
fall, representing the Caution maj r
as the advance agent of prosperity.
The irony of the situation was that
no a pun or smoke Was comi2g out
or any OF the smokestacks and The
pity of it was that this was true. The
town had evidently been the scene of
lively manufacturing industry until
the heart was taken out OF business
by the management II the cOuntry's
finances during the past frw years,
and as l viewed the spectacle Of desc
lation and paralysis the thought
forced itself upon me that if I we're in

would either start up those factories
or den de their dead walls Of the al
