Went Around The World Without
One Cent.

Eighteen months ago Thursday Frank
Burton left on a trip around the world.
He began the journey as the result
Of "a wager made by two prominent
sporting men in that city. One who
was an admirer of Burton, declared be
could go around the world, starting
without a cent in bis pocket, and make
the trip without begging, borrowing or
stealing a dollar Each Of these two
men staked s. eco on the trip.
Yesterday afternoon Burton walked
into the mayors Office, his journey com
plete. He comes TO New York with
$1,000 earned on the trip, and will re-
ceive $500 Of the money wagered on
the trim.

Ia Toilette S Refusal.

The Press ofthe State is searching for
a plausible excuse for La FoIIette's re-
fusaI Of the tender Of Comptrollership
of the Z. S. Treasury. The most sensi-
bic and most likely true reason for his
declination is stated by the Madison
Democrat in the following short editor
ial:
Mr. La Toilette was wise in declin-
ing the comptToileTship rendered him.
Their easOns of his declining are as plenty
as blaCkberrieS. III the first place, the
position is not one suited to his talents,
and is altogether beneath his talents.
1t consists mainly in the mechanical
signing of his name to a mass of fiscal
papers. 1t buries a man out Of public
sight as completely as though he were
q bag of coin in the vaults 0fthe treasury.
Again, Mr.. La Toilette could not afford
to let 90 his touch with the world for a
place of double the salary attached to
this mOuldy old sineCure. Thirdly, it
would be unWisdom for Mr.. La Toilette
to leave his practice to take place, the
dismal routine of the duties of which
stop mental growth and paralyze intel
lectuai development. FOurthly, apiar-
lists tell us that when snail or cater
pillar or other unwelcOme guest CraWls
into a hive of bees, unable to eXpel him
| they "WaX him in that is, bury him in
wax, SO as to render him harmless. Mr..
La Toilette is altogether too lively a
beetle to allow himself to be WaXed in.

GRAND RAPIDS
Total,

The scores are lower as whole than
on the Fourth of July due to the fact
that our traps are much more rapid
than the one used in Centralla. The
swift trap is better for practice for when
a man becomes accustomed to shooting
quick and accurate he never fails to
score on slow trap. The Centralia
boys admitted that our traps were both
more rapid than theirs.

VIII the Year 1900 S not a Lea 2
Year.

The question is frequently asked why
certain years are not leap years, and
the following may be of interest to our
readers at this time, as after 1896 the
next leap year does not come until
1904:
A leap year is a year containing 366
days; every fourth year which leaps
oyer a day more than a common year,
giving to February twenty-nine days;
or again, every fourth year, IN which a
day is added to the month Of February
on account Of the excess of the tropical
year, (365 d, ) h., IS m, 46 s. above
365 days. But one day added every
four years is equivalent TO six hours
each year, which is II min, Il sec.
more than the excess of the real year
Hence, it is necessary to suppress the
blssextile day at the end of every cen
tury which is not divisible by 400, while
it is retained at the end of those which
are divisible by 400. Thus every year
whose number is diyisible by four with
out q remainder is leap year, except
ing the full centuries, which 10 be leap
years must be dIvisible by 400 without
a remainder. IF not so divisibIe they
are common years. 1900, therefore, is
not d leap year.

Sam Parker Bowls a Bunch of
Bananas.

Sam Parker Bowls Bunch OF
Bananas.
There was an amusing incident on
the Pacific Mail wharf Saturday after
noon, just as the o. & o. S. S. Belgic
was hauling away from the Pacific
Mail wharf. In this Sam Parker, Clar-
ence Crabbe and a Chinese fruit ven
dor were concerned.
Just a few minutes before the steam
er departed for the Orient Mr.. Crabbe
thought that he would like to sen some
bananas aboard. He called a China
man and told him to get three punches
from up town as quickly as possible.
The fellow demurred thinking it too
late, but finally ran up town and
brought down three punches.
He arrived on the wharf just as the
steamer was hauling away from the
wharf. Grasping one of the punches he
threw it up toward the lower deck. It
fell short and into the water The sec
ond bunch met with the same fate.
Just then Sam Parker went to the res
cue, and, grasping the third and largest
bunch, gave it a swing and sent it
aboard without trouble. While the
Chinaman was mourning the loss of
the two punches in the water, native
boy swimmers were tying a rope to
these. and in a short time they were
hauled aboard. The shouts of the peo-
pie on the wharf when Sam Parker
threw the third bunch aboard were
heard uptown.

Broke In SWINGS Ioint.

Detective KAPPA and some OF his
men went into swipes joint in Ka-
puukolo Saturday night. and while the
inmates. among whom were three blue
jackets from the t. S. s. Marion. were
carOusing and having beautiful time,
upset the barrels and demijOhns, so
that nearly everyone present was con
scious of a distinctly wetting sensa-
ton. When the officers left there was
nothing left of the swipes but the
marks it left on the floor of the house
and the ground outside. The keeper
of the joint was not arrested, but he
will probably refrain from further
dealing with swipes.

WORTHY OF IMITATION.

President of the Detunct Hansard
Union Pays Sufferers in Full.
The commercial world has been
startled by a remarkable occur
renee, in which Horatio Bottom
ley, for many years president of
the Hansard Union. is the central
figure, says late London dispatch.
The business of the union was the
publication of verbatim reports of
the proceedings of parliament,
corresponding to the Congress
sional Record in the United States.
Several years ago the union com
bined with number of large
printing establishments; more
stock and bonds were issued than
the amalgamat,d concern could
stand, aud as finale there was a
crash, in which the stock and
bond owners lost hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
The indignation Of the unfortu-
mates was focused in the main
upon, Mr. Bottomley, although
the legal investigation that fol-
lowed developed the fact that he
was more Of IA vicL,n than wreck
or. In the few years that have
elapsed since the crash be has
managed to accumulate large
fortune in speculation, and having
traced out all of the stockholders
of the old concern who we're ruin
ed, or tanta mount thereto, by the
failure, he has placed in 1.-THE hands
of trustees two million and
quarter of dollars, to be divided
among the stockholders in proper
ton to their losses. The action
is the more noteworthy from the
fact that there existed neither
legal nor moral obligation on Mr..
Bottomley's part to meet any of
the liabilities of the defunct con-
Germ.

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
atfluent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
SO frequently and so carefully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-

cacies from every civilized ma
ton. Send for our catalogue
