small lacquer boxes, gold-lined, each
holding seven ounces. These are
placed in larger box of rarest
workmanship and so close together

BY POLICE AT CALLAO.

Inquiry here confirms the story com
ing from Lima to the effect that the
State Department has lodged de-
mand with the United States charge
of legation at Lima for the release of
the mate of the American bark "Uncle

Worth Trying, Perhaps

The pugilist, with calm contempt,
Stood smiling at his foe;
His face from scars seemed quite
exempt,
Nor terror did he show
The other uttered epithets,
And flung defiance free;
The first one hesded not his threats,
All statuesque stood he.
"How now" the orator exclaimed,
"Pd greatly like to know,
III you like me were ever famed
For any novel blow2
How can you think this fight to win
From such mnn as me2"
He spoke at last, moved by the din,
And thusly answered he:
"By generalship your hopes I'll balk,
| shall not waste my breath,
I'll stand aud let you talk and talk,
Aud talk yourself to death"

a Poem to the "eueen."

Mrs. Dominis was very much graft
6ed this morning, Feb. Goth, by the
receipt through the mails of poem
from a woman in Greeubush, Mass
1t showed that the ex-Queen is not
the only woman on earth who thinks
she is just about right, and a very
much abused parsonage. Accom-
pauying the poem was letter from
the writer, who said that she was
seventy-two years of age, but still
hoped that she would live to see
Mrs. Dominis' wrongs righted. When
these wrongs" are righted the

Barnum's Bargain.

"P. Il. Barnum once said he was
willing to make an agreement with
the Aldermen of New York that if
they would give him the money ex-
pended there for intoxicating liquor
he would pay the pauper tax, give
every family a barrel of -four, a
library of one hundred volumes, a
suit OF broad cloth or silk dress to
every man, woman, boy and girl,
He would pay 100000 for the
privilege, and then clear $S,000,00O
by the transaction. But then, you
know, Barnum never interviewed
Jim Dodd at the Pantheon in re-
gard to Enterprise Beer, or perhaps
he might have made bargain on a
couple of millions.

ALL WAGES CUT.
Cambria Iron Company Scales Down
Ten Per Cent Just as NC
KinIeY Goes Ii.

Johnstown, Pa, March 3.-The reduc-
ton of 10 per cent in all salaries and
wages in each office and department of
the Cambria Iron company, which was
decided upon by the board of directors
three weeks since, went into effect yes
terday.
The cause of the reduction is officially
stated to be the generally depressed
prices ruling in the steel trade, and es-
pecially the severe drop in the price of
rails, and which, it is added, the Cam
bria Iron company neither caused nor
followed, until compelled to do so. 1t
should be regarded as significant. how
ever, that Andrew Carnegie visited this
city and had a long conference with the
members of the Cambria company
week prior to the slash in prices of
steel rails and there is a general be-
lief that at that time an alliance. Of
fenSive and defensive, was arranged be-
tween the Cambria and the Carnegie
company. 1t is also said that the Hi
nois Steel company sought a business
alliance with the Cambria company
against Carnegie, but found that it had
been forestalled by the Pittsburg iron
king.
