STANDARD OIL TRUST.

Mock GERMANY.

Mock Germany.
London, Dec. fS-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Daily Chronicle, in a
dispatch today, with reference to the
petroleum question, says:
''The German consumers everywhere
prefer American to Russian oil, and
the government hopes some method
may be discovered of reducing the spe-
cl1ic gravity of the Russian product
and cheapening and facilitating trans
portation. The prospects, however, are
that the refiners at Kabu viii find
oriental markets for all the oil they can
produce, and the sale of Russian oil in
Germany is diminishing. 1t is believed
that the Standard trust will not sue
coed in getting the Baku refineries
into the ring.
M. De Witte, Russian minister of
finance, has the final word in that mat
ter, and is likely to forbid it. AS the
case now stands. both the German gov
eminent and the German chamber Of
commerce feel powerlesS"

informed the Spanish ministers that

Under SUSPICION.

New York, Dec. 13.-At the Cuban
junta headquarters and from other
sources here it was learned that San
guillys loyalty to the Cuban cause had
been under suspicion for some time,
and that his reported action in offering
his services Internationally to General
Blanco was by no means a surprise.
Delegate Thomas Estrada Palma,
however, speaking for publication, said
that he could hardly believe that San
gully had capitulated, but that he did
not attach much Importance to the re-
port, if true.
A Cuban merchant, prominent among
the revolutionists in this city, said that
Sanguilly was not likely to go over
again within the insurgents lines, and
that whatever action he had taken
would have no effect on the insurgent
leaders still in the field.

TO RAISE CATS FOR FUR.
Company said to he Organized with
$4,000 Capital.


$4,000 Capital.
A number of enterprising men and
women have evolved a scheme for utiliz-
ing the despised cat and have organ
lied a stock company with a capital of
$4,000. with which they propose to
START a cat farm and raise cat skins for
the market. Thomas McEutree, of La
con, Ill.,. is the head of the enterprise
and negotiations are pending for Il
tract OF 100 acres for the farm. 1t is
proposed to raise rats as we'll as cats
and to feed the two animals on each
other-the cats on rats, and subsequent
~ the rats on cats, after the latter have
served their purpose and lost their
skins. Mr.. McEnlree declares the plan
to be perfectly practical and says:
1T is we'll known that cat furs go
much into the making of leather goods
nowadays. There is a cat-raising in
dustry in California, and it is coming
money. We propose to start with 100
cats. maybe more. These cats will be
the finest bred Maltese and black spe-
cies. With 100 to start we could have
close to 100000 cats in four years
time. The furs sell at ten to fifteen
cents. Also. in the thousands of eats
raised, there are some which will com.
mand fancy prices as family pets"

BURGLARS USE ELECTRICITY.

Ingenious Scheme to Rob a Bank at
ChaSrin Falls Accidentally Fails.
Burglars resorted to a novel scheme
to open a bank safe at Chagrin Falls,
near Cleveland, O., the other night.
They entered the bank of Rogers g.
Son some time early in the evening.
They had previously attached a wire
to the trolley line of the electric rail-
way. This wire was run through an
alley, over a transom and to the safe.
Another attached to the rail of the
street car track was brought into the
bank. At the ends of these wires were
carbon points. With these carbons an
attempt was made with the arc light
thus formed to melt the knob Of the
combination. The experiment worked
all right and the knob had been nearly
melted away when the current was shut
off. shortly after midnight. The bur-
glars then gave up the task. The job
was planned scientifically. The thieves
had even gone to the trouble of placing
a little pie of sand under the knob
for the molten metal to fall on, andthus
avoid setting fire to the floor. There is
no clew to the burglars.

NUPTIALS ON A YACHT.
Romantic Wedding Which Took
Place Off Shores Of Connection t.
Daughter of Commodore Smith nnI
Aorncc S. Cummings Made Man
and Wife on Bosom Of
Old Ocean.

Romance with a pleasant SAVIOR of the
sea attended the wedding of Miss Helen
Woodruff Smith, Of Stamford, Conn,
Cummings.
A lover Of the ocean from childhood,
and a clever yachtswoman, Miss Smith
decided to have the marriage ceremony
performed far from the noise of the
town, on the after-deck of the hand
some schooner yacht Viking.
The Viking belongs to Commodore
James D. Smith, Of Stamford, the brides
father.
When Miss Smith, who is Commodore
Smiths only daughter, told her plan
to her father, a short time ago, he was
delighted, and promised to make his
yacht as attractive a place for a we'd
ding as any house could be. The Vik-
ing sailed for Larchmont and anchored
in the sound about half a mile from
shore. And there. where no sounds
save those of the water tapping gently
against the sides of the vessel inter-
rupted the plighting of the troth, the
ceremony was performed.
Miss Smith did not care for an osten-
tatious wedding, and those who were
privileged to witness the ceremony
aboard ship were hardly more than a
dozen outside of the yachts crew.
The bride and her party started from
Commodore Smiths handsome country
place, Linden Lodge, in Stamford, and
went by private car to Larchmont.
There the yachts gig met them and
took them aboard. Soon after this the
ceremony was performed on the after
deck by Rev. r. P. H. Vail, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Stamford.
| After the words had been spoken
that made Mr.. Cummings and Miss
Smith man and wife an elaborate ban
quet was served in the saloon.
While the guests were enjoying the
wedding breakfast under the decks
Monroe l.. Briggs, who has been the
.commodore's captain for "a years. sent
the e aloft to spread the sail. The
helm was set, and, as the wind filled out
the graceful sails, the vessel moved up
the sound toward Stamford.
If the ceremony or the yacht was
quiet the reception at the house was
in brilliant contrast to it. When the
Viking reached Stamford, about one
o'clock in the afternoon. the bride and
bridegroom. with the party. were
driven to Linden Lodge. This large
and handsome house was opened soon
after for 1900 invited guests.

The Benefit of Se1f-HelD.

Booker I. Washington. the colored
orator, constantly impresses upon the
minds of the members of his race to
whom he talks the advantages to be
gained from self-help. In a recent
speech he told a good yarn to illustrate
his point. "There isn't much that we
get in this country without working
for II" he said. 81 remember a story Of
an old negro who wanted a Christmas
dinner and prayed night after night:
Lord, please send q turkey to this dar-
KY But none came to- him. Finally he
prayed: oh, Lord, please send this
darby to a turkey Andh got one that
same night"

lew Jersey Dog Drinks Whisky to
Kill the Rnttler's Poison.
A shepherd dog belonging to Stephen
Potter, Of Ellenville, N. j., is rapidly
recovering from a combination Of rat
tlesnake bite and a big drunk.I
The three little Potter children were
taken to visit a neighbor in the Shaw
angunk mountains. The dog went
with them. The smallest child was
romping along the road in advance of
the rest of the party when she saw a
big rattlesnake coiled for a spring. The
little girl screamed and jumped just as
the snake made a dart toward her. She
fell backward over the dog, who caught
sight of the rattler and made a spring
to protect its little mistress. 1t land
ed just in time to get a drive of the SER
pent's fang in the right ear. Then a
lively battle followed.
The snake got in some very fine and
venomous blows on the dog. and the
dog retaliated by shaking the snake all
to pieces, BY this time the head Of the
dog was beginning to swell alarming
ly. The man who accompanied the
children hurried the animal home and
went for a bottle of Ellenville's best
corn whisky. The dog drank copious!y
and got outside the better part of a
quart. The animal is now rapidly re-
covering.
