THE ALL ROUND ATHLETE.
He Was . Buffer and Was Really Export

He Was . Buffer and Was Really Expert
ut Only Ono Thing.
1t was a New York drummer who
told this story:
II stopped in Wilmington, Del, four
or five nights ago." he said, land be.
ing rather lonesome-for Wilmington
Is not the Chicago Of the Atlantic sea-
board, all report to the contrary not
withstanding-I went with three other
fellows up street piece and half to
a billiard parlor for excitement. We
had played few games-in fact it
was about time to quit-when rather
we'll dressed party, 6 feet tall and
weighing 200 in his stockings, came in
and after talking around promiscuous
like awhile he offered to bet any amount
that he could beat any man in the
room, at any game of Billiards he might
select
II am only fair sort Of player, as
my companions were, and we backed
away, for I'm never the one to catch
any singed cat snaps if know myself.
Every body else was as cautious, and
seeing no takers Of his bet he offered to
double his wager that he could knock
any man in the room out in four rounds.
He slung out his chest and shut up
big pair of fists in way that was not
| inviting to the amateur, and nobody
offered to 60 into the ring with the
slugger. As for myself, l couldn't have
stood up against giant like that for
half round, and felt like chucking
down behind the table till the air
cleared.
"The big fellow by this time was
becoming sassy and in rapid succession
offered to swim or row or shoot or fence
or ride or even play game OF golf
against any man in the room at any
time any one might designate, but there
was no one to take him up, for it was
apparently a Delaware crowd, and
therefore prominently conservative.
At last the stranger picked up one OF
the billiard balls on the table where we
had Just finished our game, and, Jug
Cling it minute, he offered to bet he
could hold it out at arms length for 80
minutes.
"Well, it seemed that every man in
the room knew how darn heavy post
age stamp got at the end of man S ex-
tended arm in about five minutes, and
there was rush to take him up. He
was betting to 5, and it wasn't long
until he he had up 81 or IS covered by
all the loose change the crowd had, a
cooperative bet having been made W
against the Spaniard, let us call him.
The preliminaries being finished, the
feat began, and we sat around waiting
hungrily to divide the spoils, but the
longer we waited the longer he held on
and when the half hour was up he LEI
the ball down as easy as if it didn'
weigh over an ounce.
1--WE looked at each other and looked
at him. Sorry, gents, he said, as hi
raked i'll the pot. Sorry, but you ough
to have seen my bluff. This little tricl
is my entire stock in trade, and l can
row or swim or ride or do thing ex
cept lot of suckers. Good evening,
! and before we had time to take the OF
!, fensive he had disappeared into the fog

ENGLAND'S FIRM STAND.
Promises to support China In Regard to
Railroad Concessions.


Picking. Aug. 10.-The firm attitude
adopted by Great Britain in the matter
of railroad concessions in China, which
is giving general satisfaction in the
British settlements, is maintained.
Sir Claude NJ Macdonald, British min
lister to China, was present at the meet
ing of the Chinese foreign office officials
(tsung li-yamen) and reiterated Great
Britain's formal promise to support
China If threatened by any foreign pow
er on accout Of a concession granted to
a British subject.
The French minister, M. Gerard, has
complained to the tsung -li-yamen that,
owing to Germany's representations
China has compelled Yung Wings
Tien-tsin Chin-Kiang railroad, to build
which he has the support of an English
syndicate willing to advance $25, ooo, 900.

u.d tn Hustle For = Captain.

Judge George E. Mann tells the fol-
lowing story about the Second COM
nanv of the Richmond Howitzcr bat
talion. "All the boys who wanted to be
officers had been taken care OF and the
others preferred to be privates. Our
first CAPTAIN was George ". Randolph,
Who was afterward secretary Of war OF
the Confederate states. He was succeed
ed by John Thompson Brown, who was
afterward made colonel Of artillery
Then we tried to elect captain, but
none of the boys would have it. They
went out to fight and were content to be
nr;votes. The duties of captain were
onerous, and none of them cared to &C.
cept. We had to get captain from a''
other company. "-Galveston News
