TIPPING is LIKE GAMBLING.

Walters Prefer 1t to Higher Wages With
Elements of ChanceSeAieitted.
An up town caterer, when speaking of
tho tipping OWL the other day, said that he
would like to abolish it in his place, but
that this couldn't DO done.
II give my walters Sa5 q month and
their board" he continued. eff 1 were to
offer them $50 with tipping prohibited.
they would ono and all go away. Yet I
doubt whether they average 81 a day,
which is less than the difference in tips.
My place istta modest ono, you know, and
few tips arc higher thar 10 cents. Many
Of my customers, too, are who
seldom tip at all.
sin my opinion the attraction in tipping
to a waiter-that is, the reason he prefers
1t to higher wages with 1t prohibited-is
tho element of chance. He'd rather have
81 a day and tho possibility of making 50
or So moro in tips than a certain SO, not
so much because Of the additional gain in
volved as because Of the uncertainty. It
has the zest of gambling. He counts each
dime he gets during tho day, and when
tho aggregate reaches the higher figure Just
named, If not the lower, he feels all the
triumph Of II gambler who has broken the
bank. Fake away tipping, and you re-
move this stimulus which has added inter-
est to his days work and deprive him of
what has made his toll a comparative
pleasure. Even when he gets less than the
sum I think my walters average, 81, he
feels like tho gambler who considered that
next to the pleasure of winning was that
Of losing.-New York Sun.

An electrical water Forge.


Great as are the possibilities of electric
ity, their full scope is probably only feebly
comprehended. One of the latest devices
is a water forge. The details are as yet the
secret Of the inventor, but in effect the
method is as follows: A tank shaped
somewhat like an iron sink is filled with
water, which is highly charged with cleo
trioity. The piece Of iron to be manipulate
cd is held by u pair Of pinchers which are
attached to an electric wire. When all is
ready, the Iron is dipped into the water, of
course causing the positive and negative
poles to come in contact. It takes from 10
to go seconds for the iron to become hot
enough to be bent or worked as required.
An interesting and Important fact is that
the heat manifests itself only upon that
portion Of the iron that is covered by the
water, thus rendering 1t much more con-
trollable than forges Of the ordinary pat
tern. II one inch is under water, only one
inch will be red, and SO on with any sub
merged length.-New York Ledger.

His Early Training at Fault.

The sympathy who were visiting
the jail were deeply impressed by the good
looking young man in one of the second
tier Of cells.
"You do not look like a guilty man, y
said n Of the boldest Of tkcm as she step
ped up to his cell, but tho guard tells nc
that you already have been convicted. 10
what, may ! ask, do you attribute your
your-misfortune?"
ITO my early training when a child"
he replied.
"Poor fellowr" she said sy1npathetically.
How much ignorant or careless parents
have to answer for in this world! What
particular feature Of your early training
do you think had the effect Of bringing you
herel'",
Learning to write"
She was still wondering what the poor
fellow could mean, when the jailer sug-
gested:
He's up for forgery, you know."-Chi

l:YoaIslyn E:spensary.

q Brooklyn E.spe'sary.
Dr., .JaneS Wood has published in Thu
Quart.rly Jcnrnal Of lnlbriety n report on
observations regarding the bad effects of
tea drinking. He states that out Of /, 900
patients applying for treatment ut the
Brooklyn Central dispensary 100 exhibited
symptoms pertaining directly to ten
drunkenness, while many others were
doubtless suffering more or less from it.
The effects Of tea, according to DIR. Wood,
differ somewhat according to the kind
taken, as he finds that the tea of India
contains az times as much tannin as
that of China. The headache so frequent
" suffered by tea tasters he attributes
to the essential oil, Of which the tea con-
tains three-fourths Of / per cent. Tea
tasters drink tho infusion Immediately
after it is made. DR.. Wood notices a great
difference in susceptibility to tea poisoning.
Ho says: "Some people are profoundly
intoxicated by i%ndulging in two cups of
strong tea per day. Wo find that an ounce
of tea leaves used daily will soon sa,oduco
poisonous symptoms. This amount will
contain six grains of theme" G. the 100
cases of tea poisoning mentioned by tho
author SO were women and 81 were men.
Fifty -four drank two pints or less, 81 four
ptnts or less and 9 ten pints or less.
The following symptoms were present
in nearly all cases of tea intoSication
Hallucinations, Nightmares, successive
dreams, obstinate neuralgia, anxiety, a
persistent sinking sensation in the epigas-
trium, p%rostration and general weakness,
excitement and mental depression. Ac-
cording to DR.. Wood, tea poisoning is re.
sponsible for half of the headaches, and q
large proportion of all cases of dcspond-
enoy, p%alpitation Of the heart, giddiness
and allied symptoms. The'esscntial oil of
tea which gives out its peculiar aroma is,
according to DIR. Wood, a powerful poison.
Its injurious effects are so wellrecognizcd
by the natives of China that they do not
use ten until it is q year old, thus allow.
ing this deleterious substance to escape.
Green tea contains more Of tho essential
oil than black tea, which accounts for the
fact that 1t is moro productive of nervous.

President and Cabinet Relying Wholly on
Press Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Thus far no
official advices have been received by
the government regarding the battle at
Manila, but the Associated Press dis.
patches were transmitted to the presi.
dent and officials of the administration
as rapidly as they were received. Tho
news was evidently Of the most graft.
flying character to the president, but no
statement could be obtained at the ex.
ecntive mansion concerning the battle
or it's possible consequences.
Officials Of the navy department. were
reticent in discussing the conflict in
the absence of official information, but
they made nc pretense of concoalineg
their great qualification. Secretary
Long declined to comment upon the
subject, but it was evident that he felt
relieved. It has been known for days
at the navy department. that o
Battle Was Inevitable
and while no fears were anticipated
there was yet deep oonoernin the heart
Of every official. The news removes q
great weight from the minds of all.
Navy and army circles, after mani
Testing throughout the day the eager.
ness for. the news from the Philippines,
received with intense joy the advices
telling Of the victory Of Admiral
Dewey's fleet. Their satisfaction that
the defeat of the Spanish had been
overwhelming was strengthened by
reason of the news coming almost
wholly from Madrid and they wers
quickly u%nreserved in expressing their
qualification upon the signal triumph
Of the American forces. The absence
Of any statement Of specific injury to
the American vessels, in the Madrid
advices, was construed as convincing
indication that they had not suffered
appreciabla injury and this was espe.
cially pleasing to the naval students.

- rejoicing.
Not since the dark days Of the civil
conflict Of o third of a century ago
have the people Of this city been SO
profoundly moved by war news as now.
The first battle of the Hispano-A Amer.
lean war has been fought and victory
lies with Admiral Dewey's squadron
under the Stars and Stripes.
That was enough to set the people Of
Washington almost in q frenzy Of en-.
thusiastio rejoicing. For days they,
in common with the people throughout
the country, have been awaiting news
from the Philippine islands, as every.
thing pointed to a battle at Manila
that might be a decisive conflict of the
war. When the news came indicat-
ing q
Great Victory for the Americans,
the enthusiasm Of the people was let
loose and the streets Of the city have
rung with cheers throughout the night.
The first news Of the battle received in
Washington came in q brief cablegram
to the Associated Press from Madrid.
As the night wore on the cable contin.
ued to sing the news Of victory for the
squadron Of Admiral Dewey, and the
interest grew into tremendous excite.
ment. While victory had been expected
the news Of it-coming as it did come
from Spanish sources-gave vent to the
patriotism Of the people, which has
been pent up for days. 1t was a spon-
taneous outburst of patriotic feeling
that scarcely knew no bounds. Ad-
miral Dewey's name was on every lip
and his praises were sung in the rejoic-
ings of the people.

SOME time during Monday night
the depot was broken into and the
robbers probably received quite large
amount of articles expressed to var
ious parties. The thieves entered the
depot proper and then broke the ex-
press room door open and entered that
department. A travelling agent for a
hardware firm was the biggest loser.
They broke into his valice and took
$50 knives and about so valuable ra-
zors. Besides many small packages
were opened and the contents taken
and there is no telling what the loss
is. The robbery was discovered at
4:26 this morning by f. T. Huddle-
son, the mail carrier, and he immedi-
ately Informed the police. They ar
rested several suspicious looking char
acters around the railroad but do not
know yet whether or not the right
men have been found. Paul Mccoy
was also victim of the thieves as
they broke into his dress suit case
and took $50 suit Of clothes worn
only once. The railroad company
will make all the losses good. Index

ing for Chickamauga Park to be
with her husband for time previous
to his departure for Cuba, but only
got as far as Clarksburg, when mes
sage that came to her here was for
warded her. 1t was from Colonel
Smith and said for her not to start,
as orders had been given for his reg
iment to move to the front, and it is
likely that the start to Tampa, the
point Of debarkation, will be made
this evening or tomorrow. She re-
turned to this place on the noon Mo-
nongah train, and will not make the
visit to Chickamauga, though it is
likely that if the troops are to stay
at Tampa for any length of time
that she will go there.
Lucas, the pitcher, left to day for

will have team there which will
change the result if Fairmont goes

to have Hewitt, who first made the

Editor blackburn Failed 10 Real
ixe in Advance on the city Print

His Flag-Pnper Put in the Hands
of Receiver Several Months Ago.
General Regret at the Adverse
Fortunes of the Editor.
Atlanta, Ga. Aug l5-The last issue of
the Atlanta Daily Commercial, the bright
little evening paper founded five years
ago by B. VI. Blackburn upon a capital
of 70 cents. as he says, made ats appear
ance this afternoon.
It has been an uphill struggle for Editor
Blackburn ever since he launched his
journalistic venture In fact, it has been
the wonder OF the town how he has man
aged to keep it going for so long in such
good style, as he announced at the start,
and repeated the statement frequently
during his career, that he had no capital
al oil to do business upon. Several months
ago the paper was placed in the hands of
a receiver, but despite this handicap the
indefatisable Blackburn secured the con-
tract for the city printing, which is worth
nearly $4,000 a year, month ago, in COM
petition with both the other daily papers.
He expected he says. this afternoon that
he would be able 10 realize in advance on
this contract, and that the paper would
thus I've saved, but failing to raise the
needed money in this way, he resigned as
editor and decided to haul down his flag.
Editor Blackburns paper was full of
Individuality. He was always fearless
and Independent, and there is general re-
greet that he should be the victim of adj
verse fortune after making so gallant
fight against such great odds 1t is not
often that a daily paper is started on
capital of rs cents and lives for five years.
