pcrils of q Joke In Germany.

This story illustrates the perils Of
practical joking in Germany: Eighteen
months ago four gentlemen of leisure
from the Rhine country went to the kir-
mess in Rullay. They rode about with
q cabby and drank wine until they were
overtaken by the conditions Of mind
and body which accompany these per-
formances at German festivals. Then
they began to dispute with the cabman
as to the weight of his horse and cab.
Eventually they offered him so pfen-
nigs-or about 10 cents-a pound for the
whole equipage. He accepted the offer.
The horse and cab went on the scales
and registered 3, 900 pounds. The whole
outfit was worth about $75, so the cab
man fastened to surrender it and de.
mand his 10 cents pound, OF $500 in
all. The four gentlemen of leisure then
protested that it was all a mistake, a
joke, in fact, and they couldn't think Of
paying $500 for q $75 equipage. They
went away, but the cabman sent horse
and cab after them by express c. o. D.
When the four gentlemen of leisure
refused to follow the practical part Of
the joke farther, the cabman sued them.
He carried on the case from court to
court, in response to their appeals from
each successive decision in his favor, and
two weeks ago obtained the final judg-
ment in his favor from the high court of
| Justice in Coblenz The costs meantime
had risen to $54O, so the four gentlemen
of leisure were ordered by the court to
pay 5000, all told. That is the total cost
Of the practical joke about the cabman' 3
$75 outfit, excepting the private retain.
ers which, for the defense Of the four
jokers through the steady legal fight OF
a year and a half, are said to amount to
about 5000 more. The Bullay cabman
has bought a pair and victoria and has
gone to Berlin to carry mea with titles
and spurs on their boota New York
Sun.

The great cotton manufacturers OF the
New England states say they are forced
to cut wages because Of the competition
OF the southern mills. The Mexican Fin
ancier declares it's opinion that the real
cause OF the cotton depression in New
England and Great Britain is silver de-
monetization. 1t says: "The industry
in Mexico is fourshing, and all because
OF it's silver standard and premium on
gold, which acts as a protective barrier
against imports from gold countries. "
Another journal thinks the tariff regula-
tions have contributed to the depression,
by arousing Canadian retaliation. Ex-
ports OF cotton cloth to Canada have de-
creased by halt since June, this being
credited to the operation ofthe Canadian
retaliatory tariff. There is also nota-
BILE falling off in the exports Of cotton
goods to all foreign Countries Tacoma
