get that CT a bounce he decided to accept the straight drink which Reed had set before him. He waited some time for his change and then said to Reed! 'I think you must have made mistake. I laid down a dollar here and reu have given me nothing back"
 Tt would have been a mistake If had given you anything back" said Reed. What do you take this place fora bank? Get out of herei" The stranger staggered back and then turning quickly fled into the night.
 Then a man came in who wanted some Iron bitters, and was told he had better go to Dunham, Carrigan Co.,. where he would find hardware of all kinds.
 A Mexican who demanded a cocktail of Collier, was provided with a glass of steam beer, and upon protesting was in- formed that he was color blind and did not know what he was drinking. and the German who wanted a pousse cafe was directed to a barber sign in the alley around the corner.
 By this time the tip had gone quietly along the street that there was some thing doing in the Mirror, and customers began to flock in by the score. They de- manded everything. from ice water to champagne and from pony brandy to demi tasse, but they never found the gentlemen behind the par at a JOSS. Heeu attended to the straight drinks and re- ferred all those who called for some thing in the mixed line to his partner, with the remark that he was a poor, plain young man, trying to get on in the world and that he did not want to be- come acquainted with all the intricacies of sin at so early an age, but that Col Her was lost to all hope and could mix anything from mortar to his lines.
 Collier, with an affable smile, would at tend to all those who were thus passed up to him, and the price of a drink was whatever the man laid on the counter.
 The run of business continued way into the sma' wee hours of the morning, when the two actors, becoming tired of their fun, took off their aprons and went home.
 A couple of days afterward Levy, meeting Collier on the street, said. "Wil- lie, what did you do with those people that came into my place the other night? l have had two fights, and it has cost me s20 worth of drinks to square myself with the number of people who have come in looking for trouble since you and Reed tended bar"
 "Oh, nothing" said Collier. You see, large package of assafetida in my pocket that I was taking home to doc tor my dog with, and fearing that your customers might think that they were not getting the worth of their money I just threw a little of it into each drink that I mixed"

away to the northward of Boring Straits, said an old Arctic traveller in the office of the Occidental yesterday. "The bare ne- cessities of life are to be had only with great difficulty, so there Is no opportun- ity to indulge in the luxury of social drones. The natives take very prac- tical view of the situation. and when a man or woman gets tco old to be of ser vice as bread winner they think the easiest way to settle the matter is to kill the useless person. The affair Is taken as a matter of course by all parties to the transaction, including the one to be killed. MT. Chuck-a-Luck. residing at Point Hope, after due deliberation concludes that his parents have about reached the end of their string and informs them of the fact, adding that he will attend to their case the following Friday. He then sends note to his friend at Icy Cape as follows: Dear Friend: I have decided to kill my beloved parents next Friday, and will be glad to have you join the fes- tivities. Strangulation will be the meth cd employed. It Is rather slow, but de- cided to use 1t as I think the ensuing con- tortions will afford much amusement to the children who will be present. His friend harnesses up the dogs and drives down. and the old people are passed on to 8 better and happier life in the manner mentioned"

articles embodying the cession Of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
and the payment by the United States
Of $40, 900 600 for submission to the
next meeting, which viii be held OF
Wednesday next.
There is no denying that the whole
European continent will bitterly re
sent American acquisition Of the
Philippines.
Ifthe outcome OF the war costs as
lightly as it NOW seems, the Ameri~~4
nation is to be congratulated as it d.3
looked like the commission a

f1uke. Aguinaldo seems to be Ks
only opposition in Americas way
at present and he should be treated
as a renegade Indian which would

The idea is not a bad one and in keep
Ing with the temperance principles OF
Mr.. Mill S the we'll known editor Of
the Record Union. The proper way
to christen a ship IS to give It a bap-
tism Of fire III the thick of the battle.
The insane ceremony Of smashing a
bottle OF wine over the bows of a ship
has a tinge of blasphemy in it, as it
is a sorry burlesque on a religious

OF rival bellies who wish to get a little
public notoriety through the news

NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Appellate Courts Decision In the Case OF
Smith VS.. McCaughey.

The Appellate Court has granted a
new trial in the case of John Smith
against Joseph III. McCaughey. The
controversy was over the goods and
chattels d the plaintiff, consisting Of
a bar in liquor saloon and fixtures of
the value of $1,000. that 1t is alleged the
defendant wrongfully took possession
of. owen Butterworth was the owner
of the saloon and he made mortgage
of the premises TO McCaughey and an
assignment to Smith. The jury gave
the plaintiff verdict for $500.
The language of the rescript filed in
the case is as follows: $50 far as the
testimony shows, the only debt which
Butterworth owed at the time of his
giving the mortgage to the defendant
was the debt for which the mortgage
was given, a debt to the plaintiff. and
possibly n small indebtedness TO
Grimes. The arrangement for giving
the mortgage was made by the plain
tiff with the defendants attorney, and
the giving of the mortgage must there
fore be regarded as having been as
sented TO by the plaintiff and as a
waiver OF his right to claim that the
mortgage was void as "A preference, so
far as he himself individually Is con-
cerned. IL does not clearly appear that
Butterworth was indebted to Grimes at
the date OF the mortgage, the testi-
mony being that most. II not all. of the
indebtedness to Grimes accrued subse-
quently. In this state OF the testimony
we think the verdict must be deemed
to be against the evidence"

DIED OF HIS WOUND.
Hans0n's Life Ended by Self
Inflicted Injury.
Shot Himself When Caught In the Act of
Robblug Laundry.

Berger Hanson, the Swede who is be-
lieved to have shot himself to escape
capture by the police. at the time ne
was engaged in robbing the Providence
steam laundry. on the morning of July
Z, died on Saturday evening at the
Rhode Island hospital, where he had
been since his arrest under a constant
guard. His death ends a life of crime,
for according to the police. Hanson. al
though scarcely R2 years Of age, was a
notorious criminal
He had been suspected of being con-
cerned In a number of robberies, and
by some had been suspected of being
concerned in the murder OF William
o. Hutchins. Hanson was a pal of
Ernest Olsen, who was recently sem
fenced to prison for three years by the
Superior Court at Boston, in company
with another Swede by the name of
Gustav Lilly, for having burglars tools
in their possession, and the police look
ed upon him as a man who needed al
most constant watching, and ii was by
this surveillance that his last attempt
was discovered.
The opinion prevails that had not
Hanson been guilty of graver crimes
than that OF breaking into the laundry
on Globe and Hospital streets, he would
not have made such a desperate resist
ance to the police and would not have
wound up by taking his own life.

Race For the Austin Cup
Not Satisfactory.
MARK BOAT NOT in PLACE
II the Gannett is Awarded Race She
VIII Hold The Cup.
HAS ALREADY WON 1T TWICE.

The fact that a question has arisen
over the race for the Austin cup be-
tween the sloop Ramallah of Fall River
and the yawl Gannett OF Newport
which took place off Potters Cove on
Saturday. may result in the race being
sailed over again, although the Gan
nett sailed for Newport at once after
the race. her crew under the impress
sion that they had lost, and the men on
the Ramallah believing they had won
without doubt. The question has been
held for decision by the full race COM
mittee, and is very important. for IL
the race is awarded to the Gannett the
cup will be taken by that boat for the
third and last time, and will be with
drawn from competition. The whole
trouble has been brought about because
the mark boat at the first turn at Rum
stick Point was not in place at any time
during the race, according to state
ments OF the men on the boats. II is
claimed that by the changes made in
the location OF the boat the course was
shortened from IL to Is miles, and. IL
allowed, gave the race to the Ramal-
lah. The blunder made a great deal OF
talk among yachtsmen. and Thomas
#. Day. editor of the Rudder. who was
on the Ramallah, said: What the race
shows up more than anything else is
the humbug of time allowance. espec-
tally when II is based on a racing length
which is a product of sail measure
ment and length. In light wind RAM
allah has the advantage of Gannett. but
in strong breeze the yawl has every
advantage over the sloop. and should
give. instead of receiving an allow
ance."
According to Mr.. Days calculations,
"the Ramallah is 34.5 racing length.
She is by this measurement about two
feet shorter than last year. the reduced
rating being the result of substituting
a pole mast for the high rig she for
merly carried. BY the change her spar
plan was considerably shortened all
round. The Gannett Is 1912 racing
length. the difference between the two
boats being las. This difference on
17-mile course would give the yawl ar
allowance from the sloop OF about two
minutes and tx seconds. instead of three
minutes and 45 seconds, as the commit
tee stated"
The matter will be very carefully
looked into. and after the location Of the
mark boat has been established. the
real racing length of both boats will
determine the figures OF the time al
lowance. Tt is not known when the
committees decision will be announced.
for the question will be gone into very
thoroughly.
