wager made by two prominent sporting
men in this city. one. who was an ad.

go around the world starting without
a cent In his pocket and make the trip
without begging. borrowing or stealing
a dollar. Each Of these two men staked
$4,000 on the trip. Yesterday afternoon

RESULT OF DRUNKENNESS.

Washington, July l9.-The president
has disposcA OF the case Of Commander
Dennis Mullan Of the navy, lately in COM
mand OF the Pensacola navy yard, who
had been found guilty by court-martial
Of drunkenness on duty and recon-
mended for dismissal from the navy.
The president, In his Endorsement. says:
1.-THE sentence Of the court-martial In
the foregoing case Of Commander Dennis
Mullan is approved, but is mitigated as
follows: To be reduced in rank so that
his name shall be placed at the foot Of
the list of commanders In the navy and
10 he suspended from rank and duty on
one-half OF sea pay for the period of five
years. during which time he shall retain
his present place at the foot of the said
list" The practical effect OF this sem
fence probably will be to prevent the
officer from ever becoming a captain.
place which he otherwise would have
attained In a day or two by the retire
ment OF Captain Bartlett. and also to
make II improbable that he will again
hold sea command before retiring.

SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDENTS.

The student should provide himself
with paper ruled with single lines.
Books especially designed for the pur-
pose can be bought at any stationery
store for few cents.
The pupil can use either n pencil or
pef for writing his exercises
A PENCIL of medium softness is recon-
mendd d Most stenographers use No.
9 grade
The pen or pencil should be held in
the same general position as In writing
long hand.
The student should be very careful not
to attempt to write with rapidity at the
start.
Legibilty counts for everything in
short nand.
if tho student Is careless in the forma-
ton of his signs, he will find it very
difficult TO read them.
It will be noticed that some of the signs
presented in this lesson are blacker than
others.
This shading should be produced by
pressure not by going over the line a
second time.

STATES MONEY GONE.

Columbia, S. c., July 9.-Shortages IN
the moneys due by county dispensers
to the state were brought 10 light by the
dispensary board OF control yesterday.
The books are in such state that nc
report can be made of all the shortages,
but IL is probable that the total sum will
be very large. For the period between
March 2s. 1895. and Nov. 30. 1886, the
shortage is Sl2.702. Examination re-
veals the fact that the bonds given by
TIE dispensers who have fallen behind
in their accounts are in each case worth
less. and that no steps have ever been
taken 10 punish any Of the offenders.

The coal miners strike has brought to
the public attention some interesting and
important facts as TO tho effect OF the
Wilson tariff law upon this industry, and
upon the miners themselves. The Wilson
law reduced the rates of duty on coal from
rs cents per ton to 40 cents per ton. This
is just about the amount Of reduction In
miners wages, Of which complaint is now
being made and emphasized by the strike
announced for July 4th President
Ratunford of the United Mine Workers
Association, in communication TO the
New York Herald. indicates that the
wages of miners have been reduced since
1893 an average of 30 cents per ton, which
is Just about the amount Of the reduction
In duties made by the Wilson law. Curl
ously this reduction in wages is thus coin
cident as TO time and amount with the RS
duction in tariff. That the reduction in
wages was direct result Of the tariff Is,
however, accurately shown in another
and equally striking series of facts. Prior
to the enactment of tho Wilson law, the
eastern cities and manufacturing estab-
llshments were supplied with coal largely
from the Virginia and West Virginia
mines AS soon Us the Wilson law was en-
acted, however, coal from Nova Scotia
invaded the eastern market driving out
the Virginia and West Virginia product,
and compelled the mines of that section
to lind market elsewhere. The result
was that their coal went west instead Of
enst as it formerly had one, and with re-
duced railroad rates was laid down In the
markets Of Cincinnati, Chicago, and other
western cities at such low rates that coal
war followed by railroad rate war, was
precipitated. The natural result of this
and the reductions In prices which followed
was a reduction in the wages of coal
miners, all Of which is thus clearly trace
able to the Wilson law and its reduction
in duties on coal. Happily the new tariff
bill now pending restores practically the
Mckinley law rates, ana there is good
reason to believe that the miners as
we'll as othsr laboring men, will soon feel
the effects of restored Irotection and re-
stored prosperity
