Two Pointed OuessIons Answered.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use ef making a bet
ter article than your competitor if
you can get better price for it.
Ans--As there is no difference In
the price the public will buy only the
better, SO that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prompt
ly before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgement on them and
use only the better one.

dency this morning, opening sales
were made at 2 to points advance,
the strength FOR January being the
feature. Cables were in response to
our advance of yesterday, but inde-
pendent of this fact, the disposition
was to give support in sympathy with
the bull fever raging in other lines.
ports were of no special feature, even
bears fear that the market may ad-

and there is consequently an absence
of sellers. Cables closed steady at
to advance. Yarns at Manchester
duh but steady. Closed quiet. There
was no important news today to af-
feet the market which vas well sup
ported the greater part of the day.
The present movement is regarded
simply as the result of the buying in
stocks and the bull element are talk
ing confidentially of a much higher
market. Meanwhile the statistical
situation is attracting very little at
tention and in fact is being COM
pletely ignored. Last sales showed
4 to 6 points advance. Southern

HEN DELAYS A TRAIN.


Nfrom the Louisville PoSt)
There is no better known local char
aeter in Lancaster than Jim Dillon, and
he has as many friends as any man in
Garrard county. His intimates call him
fOld Crow"
The other day." said he to a party
of friends, 81 boarded a train on a little
1erkwater railroad that runs through a
nearby territory, to go over to a neigh
boring town. You know this line doesn't
claim speed equal to the Empire State
express, and the friends of the officers
say they are satisfied if the road can
clear ~ a day. On the occasion T no

standstil. stuck my head out of the
window to learn the cause of the ston
and saw the conductor talking to Al oid
woman with bonnet and shawl and sun
day toggery on and small basket in
hand 80
Being curious to know the import of
the dialogue between the. two, I went
forward and learned that the woman
mad tagged the train for the
purpose Of getting on board and going
on TO town to sell a dozen eggs. She
told the conductor, however, that she
ldu Oilly eleNen IN the basket at that
moment, but that an old blue hen of
hers, then on the nest, was momentar-
lily expected to lay the egg necessary to
complete the dozen; that it would be a
great accommodation if he would hold
his train until this should occur. as il
would be pity to proceed to market
with fewer than dozen eggs. The con-
ductor consented, and then our wait be-
gan.
Finally, after the lapse of about 20
minutes, furious cackling was heard
near the woman's shanty. A monnant
later blue hen futtered into view fol
lowed by the old lady, who came run
ming toward the cars, smiling and hold
ing aloft in triumph the coveted egg
she placed it, while it was yet warm in
the basket with the others, thanked the
conductor and clambered aboard, Then

The question has been asked, how far
war would affect our customs revenues.
The answer depends, of course, upon
the extent of Spanish interference with
our import trade. Most of the trans
Atlantic trade is carried on in foreign
vessels, and Spain would have no right
under international law to interfere
with this traffic, excepting, of course,
contraband war-goods that might be
properly termed war supplies. Obvi-
ously the same law would apply to ex-
port trade carried on in foreign bot
toms. The extent to which Spain could
injure our own shipping in case of war
is problematical. Neither the Spanish
government nor our own has ever given
it's assent to the international conyen-
ton abolshing the practice Of privateer-
ing, and either might resort to priva-
teers to injure the commerce of the
other, though the modern naval cruiser
should be an adequate check upon such
nominally legalized piracy. American
vessels could be seized wherever found,
except in neutral port, and the Ameri-
can lines Of ocean steamers would have
to suspend business Foreign goods
found aboard American vessels would
be free from confiscation, and American
goods could not be taken from neutral
vessels. This is the doctrine OF the
Paris convention. and Spain would prob
ably respect it, though she was not a
signatory power. Most of the trans
Atlantic lines are owned in Europe so
that there would be no lack of trans
portation. 1t might be assumed, there
fore. that Spain would interfere little
with our import trade, except from
South American and West Indian ports,
for. there the lines are largely but not
wholly American. That trade might
perhaps be nearly extinguished. % Our
chief revenue, however, is derived from
the European trade, so that the effect
upon customs receipts would not be very
conspicuous, and treasury officials are
quoted as saying that no great diminu-
ton of revenues need he expected. How
far Spain, with her comparatively small
navy, opposed by our own of at least
equal efficiency, would harm our coast
wise commerce, hardly comes in for CON
sideration here, because no revenue is
derived from it.

FUN IN THE SUPREME COURT.
lFrom the Chicago Reeordl

(From the Chicago Record)
There is a good deal more fun con-
cealed under the imposing solemnity of
the supreme court than the public would
imagine, and several of the justices,
particularly Justice Brewer and Justice
Shiras, are great wits. The jokes they
make and the stories they tell in the
consultation room would make an inter-
esting volume if it's secrets could be
penetrated But the world only knows
what transpires in the court room, and
much of that Is concealed by the rules
of etiquette and decorum. Although the
chief justice and his associates unite to
protect the dignity of that great bulWark
of the constitution which they represent,
there is often a good deal cf suppressed
fun in their efforts to defend it against
ignorant or irreverent attorneys.
They all agree that the most amusing
incident that ever frightened the So
lemnity Of the supreme court chamber
occurred several years ago, when JUS
tice Miller undertook to arrest the fiow
of eloquence of an attorney who was
arguing his first case, an appeal from a
circuit court of western state. The
young lawyer was declaiming at the rate
of $50 words a minute on some of the
simplest principles of law, which every
attorney should fully understand before
he gets his diploma, and, becoming
weary after awhile, Justice Miller inter
rupted the speaker in a sarcastic tone
inquiring:
Il hope the learned counsel will give
the court the credit of knowing the ru-
diments of law"
Il beg the pardon of your honor" re-
Piled the attorney in the blandest man
ner, but | made that mistake in the
lower court" "
similar incident occurred more re-
Gently, when young attorney from the
south became entangled in complica-
tons of his own creating, and was foun-
dering along in a hopeless attempt to
eXtrlcate himself. Justice Brewer. who
is very kind-hearted. and always helps
a fellow mortal out of difficulty when
he is able to do so, undertook to play the
part of good Samaritan, and brought
upon himself a shaft that his associates
ON the bench will never allow him to
forget. Thinking that he might relieve
the embarrassment of the counsel and
give him chance to make a fresh start.
Judge Brewer interrupted him and
said:
II don't quite follow the learned conn
sci in his argument. Perhaps if he will
go back and repeat a little of what he
has already said, may understand him
better. haven't been able to follow the
thread OF his argument"
noticed you couldn't" retorted the
unaoashed attorney. 1T is very com
plicated point of law, but if YOU will
give me your close attention, 1 will try
70 make 1t so clear that you can under
stand it."

AS a matter of amusement the Boston
papers have turned to spanking one an
other for printing sensational war ''stor-

LIFE IN DAWSON CITY.

On the morning of August II, at about
o'clock, broad daylight, we came up to
that collection of forty large log cabins
and five hundred tents, sprawled at the
foot of Moose-skin Mountain, named
Dawson City. Helter-skelter in a marsh,
lies this collection of odds and ends of
houses and habitations, the warehouses
of the two companies cheek by jowl
with cabins and tents; row of bar
rooms called Front street; the side
streets deep in mud; the river bank a
mass of miners boats, Indian canoes,
and logs; the screeching of the sawmill !
the dismal, tuneless scTaping of the
violin of the dance halls, still wide open;
the dogs everywhere, fighting and snarl-
ing; the men either ''whooping it up"
or working with the greatest rapidity
to unload the precious freight we had
brought-all of this rustling and hustl-
ing made the scene more like the outside
of a circus tent, including the smell of
the sawdust, than anything else in the
world
This, then. is the real FL Dorado! One
wonders where they all live. One Won
ders, in amazement where they are all
going to live through the awful winter
that is approaching. Here is the true
pinch of the situation. 1t is not a ques-
tion of food; it is question of shelter.
There are no logs fit to make cabin
to be found ON the river within thirty
miles of Dawson City. To wait for win
ter means that it will be too late to build
a cabin, because the moss which is used
to fill the phinks between the logs by
that time viii be frozen solid, and be
useless unless thawed out over a fire, a
very wearisome job. The old-timers have
got used 70 70 degrees below zero in
tents; and even if the robe over them
freezes solid a match is smuggled from
under the bedclothes, the fire somehow
lighted in the sheet-iron stove, and
there they lie until the stove is red-hot
before they dare emerge from under the
skin rugs. But how are the newcomers
to survive the cruel exposure-the law
yers, clerks, doctors, and mechanics?
Dawson City seems like a joke, Eigh-
teen hundred and fifty miles from st.
Michael Island-this is where they have
gold, millions of gold, and nothing bet
ter than a muddy swamp to live in;
gold dust and nuggets in profusion, and
yet the negroes In the cabins of a SOUTH
ern plantation live better than the rich
est man in the country. Our arrival at
Dawson was at a very critical time. We
had brought with us nearly four hum
dred tons OF provisions, and this fact
served to allay the anxious fears of
many who were becoming ranic-strick-
en- at the idea that there would be
scarcity Of food during the winters No
news had come to us by way of the
ocean of later date than June 10, but
newspapers had been received over the
summit at Dawson of date as late as
July 26; and so the report that crowds
were swarning into the gold fields had
reached them, but was news TO us. The
town was thoroughly scared, and was
oYerrun with men who had come down
