THE SAME OLD RESULT

Well, wipe off your slate, bartender;
I've turned Ger leaf that's new.
l always have been a good spender,
But to you 1 now bid adieu.
I've sworn off on drinking bad liquor
And donning the elegant skate;
Old booze-well, I'll just let you flicker
And shake the inebriate's fate.
I've sworn on my last empty bottle
To quit all this tempting of fate;
And my thirst for red rum l will throttle
Before 'tis forever too late.
So receipt me in full-heres your money
You've sold me the last glass of drink,
And don't you attempt to be funny
Refuse one? Well, yes, don't think.

of the Press of that city. 1t is in maga-

finest book paper, and filled with
carefully prepared descriptive mat

artistic in their selection, in their
execution and in their grouping. In

BATTLE OFF HAVANA.

One Is Liable to Occur ut Any Mo-
Tnent.
Key West, Fla, May 1.-THE Span
ish fishing smack Santiago Apostal
was captured by the gunboat May
flower off Havana and brought in by a
prize crew. She'was bound from Yu-
catan for Havana with q cargo of fish
and ten men. She was rounded up
with one blank shot. This was the
only incident of the day, which was
largely devoted to the circulation of
alarming reports of the sinking Of
American ships off the Cuban coast.
Up to nightfall nothing approaching
definite evidence of the blockading
fleet had reached here. The story
fourishing at that hour was that heavy
firing had been heard off Havana.
This was brought in by small boats
and was as much in need of vertical
ton as the others. Naval men, how
ever, incline to the belief that the
Spanish batteries on the north coast
will seize every chance to fire on the
American ships, and would not be sur
prised at any moment to hear Of a bat
tie at OF off Havana.

Senate Finance Committee Nearly
Ready to Report the War Revenue
iBll.
Washington, May IL - When the
finance committee adjourned last night
the consideration of the war revenue
bill had been almost entirely .complet-
Z ed, although there We're some puzzling
problems still unsolved, one of which
was the manner Of dealing with pro-
prietary medical articles. There will
probably be a uniform tax on all Of
them. The committee has decided to
place license on banks at the rate of
$500 year and upon brokers at the
rate Of $50, but has not yet determined
whether the professions shall be IL
censed or not On life insurance COM
panies the rate has been increased, be-
ing made 10 cents on every hundred
dollars, and it is estimated that this in
crease Will add about a million dollars
in revenue. The provision for an in
heritance tax and for a tax Oh bills Of
lading were both adopted, as were the
provisions for taxing all dealings in
futures, including bucket shop opera
lions. The bill as it will be reported
will contain provision requiring that
a memorandum be made of all details
Of this character, however small, and
that 2-cent stamp be placed upon this
memorandum. The Democratic amend
ments will be taken up tomorrow and
there is very little doubt that they will
all be adopted, as Senator Jones Of
Nevada has indicated his purpose Of
standing with the Democrats on all the
principal changes they may suggest.
1t is possible that the consideration Of
the bill may become completed to-day,
but it is not probable.

Well known Chicago Broker Driven
to this. Wall.
Chicago, May II. l. One failure has
been recorded as the result of the
fluctuations in the wheat market and
the. man to go under was Robert Lind
blom, one of the best known operators
on the board of trade, and president of
the civil service commission. Imme-
diately after the close of business he
made an assignment in the county
court to the Royal Trust company as
assignee, the assets and liabilities be-
ing fixed at 100000 and $125,C0O re-
spectively. The failure Of Mr.. Lind
blom was entirely unexpected even
among his close business associates. It
is attributed to the condition of the
wheat market and the fact that he was
suddenly called upon during the day
to provide margins for trades in barley
amounting to $4,000. Mr.. Lindblom
found himself una bic to respond to the
call and decided to make an assign
ment in the county court so as to pro-
vide equally for all his creditors.

''There is indeed a reserve fleet at

it the better. This fleet has two fine
ships. the Nornannia and the Column

greyhounds, a type of ship utterly for
eign to them? The rest of the fleet is
little better than paper"

render void every sale Of real property
in the state under this law, as the pub
