The Best Man.

An actor told a story the other even-
ing about fencing master in London,
who had two sons. Both Of them, like
the father, were physical giants.
Which was the stronger and better
fighter was disputed question until a
burglar got into the house one night.
One Of the sons, opening the front door
with latchkey late at night, found the
intruder in the hall. They Immediate
ly clinched.
The other brother, hearing the noise,
rushed down stairs, and, not being able
in the dark to distinguish burglar
from a worthy and honest citizen of
London, proceeded to pound both men
whom he ran against
Meanwhile brother number one,
thinking there were two burglars in the
house, turned half of his attention to
the new enemy, and the fight became
desperate.
The father, awakened by the uproar,
rushed down stairs with heavy walk
ing stick. Then the fight was something
to admire, but to avoid.
When it was all over and the gas waI
lighted by the aged fencing master, il
was discovered that he had whipped

THE STOLEN Boy FOUND. - There
was much rejoicing Thursday when it
became known that little J ohm Conway,
the abducted Albany boy, had been
restored to his parents and that his
kidnappers had been arrested. The
details of the abduction of Charley
Ross and the agonies of grief and sus-
pense suffered by his distracted par
ents are still fresh in the memory. If
the Conway's uncle and his confeder-
ate can be sentenced to as many years
in prison as the poor mother shed tears
their punishment, in the minds of par.
ents, will not be too severe. Suspense
is vastly moreagonizing than certainty
of bereavement, as Mr. and Mrs. Ross
knew ahd Mr.. and Mrs. Conway know
now.

BIRDS AND DISEASE.
An Authority Who Thinks Birds Incapa-

An Authority Who Thinks Birds Incap@-
BILE of Carrying COntagiOn.
Persons interested in birds have re-
Gently been debating the question
whether these creatures are capable Of
contracting diseases from human beings
or Of transmitting disease to human be-
ings. Expert opinion seems to be di-
vided. On the one hand DR.. K. Ruff,
director of Gefierderte Welt, in a recent
letter to the president Of the Acclima-
tion society, asserts that the transmits
sion Of any disease from a bird to a
man and vice versa is absolutely impos
sible. Says DR.. Ruff:
For moro than 80 years have been
occupied in keeping, observing and
raising exotic birds of plumage; conse-
quently 1 have had occasion to deal with
them when i'll. Every bird that has died
has been examined, and l have thus dis
sected during about 80 years several
hundred parakeets l have always kept
these birds during their illness, some
times for considerable period, i'll my
apartment, which is somewhat restrict
ed in size, being composed Of only six
rooms for four grown persons and four
children. During all this period have
not had a single case of sickness in my
family, although the birds have had all
possible kinds of maladies. l am also
confirmed in my belief by the fact that
1 have allowed no opportunity to pass
of asking for information Oh the subject
from the principal dealers in birds al
Hamburg, Cologne, London, Liverpool,
Antwerp, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Mar.
seilles and Bordeaux whenever they haC
sick birds in considerable numbers. II
no case was l informed that any one
either u member of the family or an EN-
ployee, had been attacked in the house o.
one of these merchants, and l obtained
the same information from the directors
of the great geological gardens at Pari
and London. No contagion-and ! can
not insist too strongly Oh this point
could ever be established.
These, however, ale all negative fact
and would fail to stand against evel
one authenticated case Of TIE transmits
sion of disease to or from pet birds
Such cases, it is believed, have becl
proved to exist by Dr.. LabOulben VIII

Wednesday over a week ago Canovas
was killed by bullet from an assas-
sins pistol. In Canstantinople an at
tempt was made to kill the Sultan by
the aid of a bomb. Two rooms were
completely wrecked and a Turkish
messenger killed, while four others
were wounded. The authorities failed
to discover the perpetrator of the deed.
An Armenian who attempted to cause
an explosion in the Ottoman bank was
arrested in the act of throwing a par
eel which contained bomb. An un-
known man was also arrested while
attempting to destroy the police sta
ton. Some drastic measures should
be taken to put stop to these Anarch-

Hooley, the successful London fnan-
cier, reaches out into Oriental fields
of business, and is negotiating a Chi
nese indemnity loan of $50, 1000, 900, a
transaction large enough to make the
Rothschilds and the Ephrussis and the
SassoOns sit still with awful eye, find
ing their high financial realm thus in
vaded. The Hooley career has so far
been brief one, but of comet-like ra-
dance, outshining the eclipsed one of
Barnato, and no fiscal astronomer has
vet attempted to set bounds to it.
His appearance in Eastern finance may
mean a good deal and prefgure his
further relations with it, leaving the
hidebound old banking companies,
hitherto the mOnopOlists of that kind
of business, out in the cold. A Ma
tional bank of China, with Hooley al
the head of it, seems to loom among
the possibilities of that populOus won
derland, its undeveloped wealth to
flow in golden streams around the
world when the right Moses comes
along and gives the right blow on the
rock of its productiveness.

The ballon which according to recent
advices, was sighted over the North
Sea may turn out to be that of Andree,
but there is no certainty Of it, and the
chances are the other way. 1t is not
probable that he would have drifted
back so near his point of departure.
He is more likely to drop down among
the Klondike gold fields or the waters
of Siberia, unless, indeed, he and his
craft are quilted in the waters of the
open Polar Sea, if there is one. The
prospects are that Andree may not be
heard from for a long time to come,
and though it is not at present neces-
sary to prefgure calamity to him or
his enterprise, every week that passes
without news from him will deepen
anxiety concerning the issue of his

asked to-day this question:
"What do you find to be the inhu-
ence of 95-cent wheat and the apparent

Opinions were obtained from promi-
nent bankers in Indiana, Ohio, Ne

The result is best summed up in the
words of John H. Leathers, of Louis

''The silver question is as dead as
stone mackerel. 1t will never agaiI
form n political issue. Eighty-five
cent wheat has knocked the life out O
