The Decay of the Dandy,

Brummel went to prison for debt,
but came out again to resume his fop-
pories. His friends made him a small
allowance Of el20 per annum-equal at
Caen to e300-but he could not be ex-
pected to live on such pittance. When
he had not / francs in the world, he
would order boot polish at francs a
bottle from Paris and call the trades
man who supplied it "a scoundrel' for
yenturing to ask for his money. In the
end his intellect gave way. He lost his
memory and much of his little mind
He grew sloyenly and careless, yet to
the last chung to his eau do cologne and
some other luXuries. Finally, his mind
all gone, he was removed to charity

most mpoverishment and content to
change his linen once month"; instead
Of three times . day, as of old. Here he
died, under the care of sisters of chart

striking career of perhaps the most
worthless fop whom history records, his
death being fitting termination to his
useless life -Lippincott's

LOCATING A COUPLET.

Butler Is Placed.

A Familiar Quotation Ascribcd to
Butler Is Placed.
Few popular quotations have more
engaged tho pens of critics than the fol-
lowing:
For he that fights and runs away
Will live to fight another day.
These lines are almost universally
supposed to form part of "Hudibras, :"
and so confident have even scholars been
on the subject that in 1884 wager was
made at Bootle of 20 to / that they
were to be found in that inimitable
poem. Dodsley was referred to as the
arbiter, when he ridiculed the idea of
consulting him on the subject, saying,
every fool knows they are in 'Hudi-
bras
George Selwyn, who was present,
said to Dodsley, "Pray, sir, will you be
good enough, then, to inform an old fool,
who is at the same time your wise
worship's very humble servant, i'll what
canto they are to be found?"
Dodsley took down the volume, but
he could not find the passage. The next
day came, with no better success, and
the sage bibliophile was obliged to con-
fess THAT man might be ignorant of
the author of this we'll known couplet
without being absolutely fool" But
Ter has indeed two or three passages
somewhat similar. The one that comes
nearest is the following, in "Hudibras,
book 3, canto 3, verse 243:
For those that fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.
The fact, however, is that the couplet,
thus enormously ascribed to tho author
of "Hudibras, occurs in a small vol
ume of miscellaneous poems by Sir John
Mennes, written in the reign of Charles

messages, one to Sir George Stokes at

Rayleigh and Mr.. Preece in London.
These were transmitted by the Marconi
system from the island to Bournemouth
on the mainland, distance of Is miles,
and then were repeated to their several

list insisted on paying for these messages

MAKING WOOD ALCOHOL.

TOpers Sometimes Drink.
1t is necessary first to convert wood
into liquid. The strongest hydraulic
pressure would not squeeze one-half of
/ per cent of the moisture from dry
wood, but by putting the same material
into an iron retort and converting it
into charcoal by means of heat the gases
and smoke, to the extent of fully 65 per
cent of the weight of the wood, may be
condensed into pyroligneous acid, from
which are obtained wood alcohol, acetate
of lime and wood tars. A cord of wood
weighing 4, 600 pounds produces about
1850 pounds of pyroligneous acid and
700 pounds of charcoal. The pyroligne-
Gus acid from one cord of wood pro-
duces gallons of SO per cent crude
wood alcohol, 200 pounds of acetate of
lime and about % gallons of tar, besides
80 bushels of charcoal. After the pyro-
ligneous acid is neutralized with lime
the wood alcohol is distilled off, the
lime holding the acetic acid in solution.
After the separation of the wood spirit
the remaining liquid is boiled down i'll
pans to sugar, which is dried, and be-
comes the acetate of lime of commerce.
Acetate of lime is used for making acetic
acid.

READY FOR
EMERGENCY.
Government Will Retain Volunteers
Now in the Service.
TO SUPPRESS THE FILIPINOS.

Should Aguinaldo's Followers Prove
Unruly the Volunteers Not Already
Mustered Out VIII BE Sent to Bring
Them to Terms.
Washington, Sept. 14-Tremendous
pressure is still being brought to bear
on the war department to have more
troops mustered out of the service. Eff
forts In this direction, however. are
Of no avail. It is announced with in
creased emphasis that there will be no
more troops mustered out. The sit
uatiOn does not admit of any further
reduction in the army, and efforts are
being made to put those volunteers
who are retained in the service as near
as possible to the footing of the regu-
lars in the matter of drill and dis
Cipline. The purpose at the outset,
when the muster out began, was to
muster out 100000 volunteers. A little
over $4,000 have already been mustered
out, and it is announced positively that
there will be no more mustered out, no
matter what influence is brought to
bear.
The principal concern of the admin
istration is with respect to the Philip
pines. 1t Is denied that any army Of
fetal reports have been received con-
cerning the attitude of the insurgents,
though of course, there Is no pretense
that the administration Is entirely free
from concern on that score. The gen
eral feeling in the war department is
that General Otis will be able to deal
with Aguinaldo and his followers. At
the same time It is cautiously acknowl-
edged in certain high official quarters
that the possibility of trouble with
Germany on account Of the Philippines
is still before us, and has not been di-
minished by recent information con-
cerning the German attitude in the
Philippines.
The retention of volunteers now in
the service, and the efforts to improve
the morale of the army has in view the
Philippine situation more than that OF
Cuba and Porto Rico, though there Is a
great deal of vagueness as to the dan
ger apprehended there.

The second production of Elmer f. Vance's
Comedy Cumpany's engagement took place
at Ferguson S theatre last night and received
the appreciation Of large and enthusiastic
audience. Tho play was one written by Mr.
Vance entitled, Patent Applied For" and it
was revelation Of mechanical surprises
and ingenuity The rescue at sea in the
second act aud steamship deck scene followed
by a wreck in the third act were heartily ap-
plauded. No repertoire company has given
productions in this town equal to those Mr..
Vance is now giving so far as scenic and
mechanical effects are concerned. Beatrice
appeared to good advantage in the role of a
cabin boy and her dancing also caught the
fancy of the audience. The support was
good. Tonight revived drama of
sterling merit entitled, "The Hidden
Hand" will be produced. Tomorrow
afternoon a special matinee will be
given by the company in conjunction with
local talent for the benefit of several members
Of the Evans and Ward Company who are
stranded here by reason of misplaced conf.
dence ia the agent and manager of the latter
company.

suicide of a Noted Brewer.

Buffalo, Sept. 14.-Peter Schemm, the
Philadelphia brewer, yesterday jump
ed from the Goat Island bridge at
Niagara Falls, and his body was
swept over the American Falls. He
was stopping at the New York Central
hotel, where he engaged carriage
and went out for a drive. At Goat
island bridge ne told the driver he
would walk to get better view of the
rapids, and when In the center of the
bridge he shouted Good byel" and
leaped over the railing. The body was
in sight some distance down the upper
rapids, as It every now and then
plunged over a reef. Many bodies that
go over the American falls are never
recovered. Mr.. Schemm's eyesight has
been falling for year, and 1t is
thought that his approaching blind
ness was the cause of dependency
which led him to take his own life.
