BARNEY BARNATO.
An Interesting "Reminiscences of the Ill
Fated South African Millionaire.

An Interesting "Reminiscences of the Ill
Fated South African Millionaire.
In all Barnato' s mining and industri-
al operations there was not single fea-
ture of the working, a single apparatus
or process used, with which he was not
perfectly familiar. In all his company
undertakings such thing as a speech
prepared by others for him to read was
absolutely unknown, and no man ever
labored more patiently or with more
uniform success to convert the refrac
tory when it was advisable. Both at
Johannesburg and in London, the latter
especially on an occasion fresh in all
memories, he has had to confront angry
critics who, smarting under apparent
loss, were not careful either as to the
terms in which they denounced him or
the epithets they employed. But the re-
suits were invariably the same, with
drawal of all charges and renewed votes
of confidence passed by reclamation
without dissentient.
While, however, no one could be more
conciliatory, more pleasingly explana-
tory than he, when it was advisable,
he could take it fighting, too when his
Judgment approved, and then his attack
was irresistible. eff you are going to
fight, he said, always get in the first
blow. If man is going to hit you, hit
him first and say, If you try that, III
hit you again. 1t is of no use your
standing off and saying, If you hit me.
I'll hit you back. Dye understand"
Eyes, understand, l answered, but
you are quoting Kingsley in Westward
Hol' "Who was Kingsley and West
ward Hop " he sharply queried. After
l had explained and quoted the passage
from Drake's letter to Amyas Leigh be
said:
"AhlI did not know anything of
Kingsley, but when he wrote that be
knew what life was, and he was right,
and | am right, though it is queer for
me to get supporter in one of your
parsons If he was a true man, he
would also have TO agree with our law
of IAN eye for an eye and a tooth for
TOOTH but, being Christian, of course
he couldn't do that Pahl Never let a
man wrong you without getting square,
no matter how long you wait, and never
wrong a man if you can help it. because
he will wait his time to get back on
you and at the worst possible moment.
l don't care whether it is Jew or gen
tile; it is all the same. T"
This conversation occurred during an
early morning drive about two years
ago, when he had just arranged his
scheme for the flotation Of the Barnato
Consolidated mines and was already
laying off the lines ON which the Bar
nato banks were to be constructed and
floated. -Contemporary Review

shot in the foot last night during street
row. Three Italians had been elected
from an electric car for fighting, and

bullets struck her in the right instep
making a flesh wound, but not seriously
injuring her. The three men then ran
away, but one of them, Peter Sylvesta
was captured Ply the police. He had a

two of the chambers empty, and adj
mitted firing the shots, but said he fired
them in the air to frighten the other
men. The street was well filled WI n
pedestrians and the shooting created

in the wounding of the clerk, while the
burglar escaped without injury or leav-

Decidedly Small Catch.

Gloucester, Mass, Sept. 5.-The salt
mackerel catch of the entire New Eng
land fleet to date is 1887 barrels, against
$3.50 in 1896 1856 in 1885, 80, 954 in 1894
26,619 in 1893 and 10. 438 in 1892. By these
figures 1t will be seen that the season s
catch is decidedly small, and the season
is far enough advanced to state with
certainty that the catch for 1897 will be
a complete failure for this branch Of the
fisheries.
The failure of the fishery is bitter
disappointment to Gloucester, which de-
ponds so much on this branch of the
business. So Disguised are the masters
and owners with the outlook that many
Of the fleet have abandoned the hunt
for mackerel and have refitted their
crafts for haddock and Goldfish.

Quarrel Ends In Bloodshed.

Manchester, N. H., Sept. ia special
to The Union from Bristol says: This
village was thrown into a state of eX-
element Monday evening by a shooting
affair which took place shortly before
8 o'clock. The participants were two
boys about IS years of age. The cause
was bad blood. and the result is that one
of them is lowering between life and
death The actors in the affair are
Henry Smith, residing about mile from
the village, and Charles Cheney, resid-
ing at North Bristol. 1t seems that un
pleasant relations have existed between
these boys for some time, and on meet
ing in the village the old feud was re-
newed and a fight was engaged in.
Cheney drew a revolver and fired twice
at Smith and then ran. Only one bull
let took effect This entered the alb
domen just above the left hip, taking
downward course. After the shooting
the Smith boy walked to the blacksmith
shop Of Clarence A. Smith, when he was
taken by Bert Qutmby to the office Of DR..
George H. Galley, where the wound was
dressed. 1t is said by the doctors that
he stands an even chance of recovery.
