BELLIGERENT CRABS.
Their Chief Delight Consists in
Twisting on Each Others Legs.

Twisting on Each Others Legs.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The most savage specimen of the crab
species is found in Japan, seeming to
dream of nothing but fighting. to delight
in nothing half so much. The minute he
spies another of his kind, he scrapes his
claws together In rage, challenging him to
the combat. Not moment is wasted in
preliminaries. but at IL they go, hammer
and tongs 1t sounds like two rocks grind
ing against one another as their claws
rattle against the hard shells. The sand
flies as the warriors push each other hith-
er and thither until at last one of them
stretches himself out in the sun, tired to
death. But he does not beg for mercy or
attempt 20 run away, only feebly rubbing
his claws together in defiance of the foe
That foe comes closer, and with his claws
trembling with joy at his victory. the con-
queror catches hold of one claw of the
vanquished crab. twists II until It comes
or. and bears away the palpitating limb
as a trophy of his prowess. Such Is a bat
tie between warrior crabs.

Miss Thompson had an unexpected visi-
tor one day. Admiral Dewey sent up his
card. He paid a long call. He and Miss
Thompson found much that was interest
ing to talk about In the enjoyment of
their talk they were apparently oblivious
that the rest Of the Oriental Hotel had gone
mad. The world had quite come to an end
in the teapot district with its self-righteous
ideas of the fitness of things. The admiral
had called on a workingwoman They were

is better to draw veil over the subse-
quent waihng and gnashing of teeth, the
ears and rage of The would-be leaders of

he had given. He asked Miss Thompson
If he might lunch with her the next day,
and again the whole Oriental Hotel knew
it was atiame. The woman who had been
Inundated by the pettlness of petty peo-
pie was honored by a great man. And no
one can doubt that behind the iron COM

brain of lightning and the win of steel,
there exists the very tender heart of

The Old-Fashioned Pocket.-From the
jamestown IN. " Journal
How dear 10 the heart are the old-fash-
toned dresses,
When fond recollection presents them to
view
In fancy I see the old wardrobes and
presses
Which held the loved gowns that in girl
hood l knew.
The wide-spreading mohair, the silk that
hung by it;
The straw-colored satin with trimmings
of brown:
The ruffled foulard the pink organdie
nigh it,
But oh, for the pocket that hung in each
gown!
The old-fashioned pocket, the obsolete
pocket.
The praiseworthy pocket that hung in
my gown.
The dear, roomy pocket I'd hail as treas
ure,
Could [ but behold ii In gowns of to-day;
I find il the source of an exquisite pleas
ure.
But all my modistes sternly answer me
''Nay!'
'Twould be so convenient when going out
shopping.
'Twould hold my small purchases coming
from town;
And always my purse or my kerchief I'm
dropping
Oh, mel for the pocket that hung in my
gown.
The old-fashloned pocket, the obsolete
pocket,
The praiseworthy pocket that hung in
my gown.
A gown with pocket! How fondly I'd
guard it!
Each day ere I'd don 1t, ia brush it with
care:
Not full Paris costume could make me

Though trimmed with the laces an en-
press might wear
But I have no hope for the fashion is
banished;
The tear of regret will my fond visions
drown
AS fancy reverts to the days that have
vanished.

One would think that a novel especiallv
strong in local description and character
ization, if 1t found readers anywhere, would
find them most surely in the region and
among the people particularly typified But
an instance has just come to my knowl-
edge that shows that this is not necessar-
lily so; and incline to believe, from other
instances I have known of, that the rule
even Is the other way, and that novels, like
prophets, are least honored in their own
immediate country. In the instance, 1 have
in mind-I have to refrain for special rea-
sons from naming the book-all the re-
views have been of kind to provoke Gu
riosity. The reviewers argue that il shows
a remarkably strong hand; and while they
do not give 1t their fun approval-indeed.

what they say almost invariably starts
in you desire TO see for yourself Just
what the book is. They have been espa-
cially respectful toward it in the section
where the scene of 1t is laid. And vet I
am reliably Informed sthat In no other
part of the country have the sales been so
slow as there.

danger and the most conservative manu- lecturers, especially in iron and steel, have striven to avoid it, but actual inability to deliver products demand leaves them little power, while speculation in wool and other lines is running away from consumption. It is feature that quotations are quite largely fictitious. Almost all the goods now being delivered or produced in some industries are on prices fixed by orders accepted months ago and nearly all the iron works being thus tied up for ahead the prices quoted indicate not at all what they are getting but what they see fit to ask as a way of refusing orders which they can not accept, or else the bid of impatient buyers who can find nobody ready to deliver large quantities.
 During the past week quotations have risen for anthracite No l to $17.5O for Bes- semer to $18.50 at Pittsburg, for forge to $16. 6.25; for billets, with practically no sales, to $21, for bars $2 per ton; for plates and sheets as much; for rails to S26 for struc- tural beams and angles, 80 per ton, and for wire nails p per cent. per keg. But there are no access of large fractions at these or other prices, though small sales of pig, last week and this week for Bremen at the market prices, with German offers for 10000 tons southern pig, indicating that needs abroad are quite as great as they are here.
 The Financial Chronicle estimates de- crease of cotton. Goods are selling largely and prices of ginghams and prints have advanced. After some advance wheat sud- denly declined cents, closing lower for this week. Against all accounts of inquiry is the solid fact that western receipts were 5,049, ,194 bushels for the week against 1,477,- 045 from the great crop of last year and at current low prices such receipts would be unreliable if dealers really expected short yield. Shorts being only 1,S49S37 bushels Exports have declined, flour Included from Atlantic ports, against 42O6,293 last year and 623, 400 from Pacific ports against 253, ,213 last year, but even as to the future foreign demand this is not strong evidence
 The estimates of reduction in yield are weakened in market judgment by certainly more spring wheat acreage which is un- known and may exceed expectations and that the prospect in spring wheat states is excellent. Corn has shown unusual in- dependence, scarcely changing in price with exports, 2,SO4 300; against 4,134,6n last year. For the week failures have been 15e, against 2O3 last year, and 10 in Canada against IT last year.

These gentlemen are largely interested in the big rolling mill combine, which was formed only month or two ago, and 1t is said that their visit to this district has some- thing to do with the appointment of the officials who are to operate the big com- pany's properties in Birmingham.
 Yesterday they were taken on an all-day trip to the companys various mines and plants around the district by the local off, cers of the Republic company. It is not known how long they will remain in this city

CARTER WILL GET OFF.
Will Not Be Punished for Misdirecting
 Government Funds.

Washington, June 9.-Captain Oberlin M. Carter, of the corps of engineers, convicted by courtmartial in February, 1S97 for mis- directing government funds to the amount of $3,0OO,OOO and more, while stationed at Savannah, Ga, will not be punished for that crime
 According to a prominent army officer, the statute of limitations will relieve the wealthy contractors implicated with Cap tain Carter on August 1. The case has been held up until that time. The attor- ney-general has the papers, and is said to be looking over the case He will hold the papers for another month or six weeks, and then the statute of limitations will pre- vent prosecution.
 This fragrant cheating of justice is one of the boldest schemes ever participated in by any administration.
 Captain Carter is not only rich, but he has rich relatives by marriage His rich relatives have political pulls. His case has been withheld from the president fo: more than year. The papers in the case were

BELLAMY STORER
Is Expected to Arrive in Madrid This
 Afternoon

Madrid June 9.-Mr. Bellamy Storer, United States minister to Spain, will ar rive here tomorrow evening from San Se- bastian, the summer residence of the Span ish court, whither MT. Sickles, secretary of legation, had gone to accompany him to Madrid. His delay has no special signih- canoe whatever. He simply wanted to find a residence for his use when the court goes to San Sebastian, and it is now expected that he will present his credentials to the queen regent next Monday.
 During MT. Storer's sojourn in San &c., bastian there have been no popular dem- onstrations and there is nothing to indi- cate that he will be received here other wise than courteously. It is quite improb- able that there will be any annoyance or demonstration in connection with his ar rival Mr. Storer has wired asking that apartments be prepared at the United States legation for himself and servants, but as the legation building is so small he will probably be obliged to have recourse to a hotel until larger house can be chosen for the legation.

TRIAL BEGINS
Of the Eight Officers Who Were Ar
 rested at Johannesburg

Pretoria, June 9.-The trial of the eight alleged former British officers, who were arrested at Johannesburg on May IS, last, on the charge of high treason in having at tempted to revolt with view of an out break of rebellion, began here today.
 The charge against Lieutenants E. J. Tremlett, c. J. Ellis and John A. Mitchell was withdrawn and they were called as witnesses for the state. Ellis testified that overtures were made to him to hold Jo- hannesburg and the forts until British troops came. He was given to understand that the cooperation of the military au- thorities had been secured and that capital ists were financing the movement, but that he did not know the names of the leaders of the movement Colonel R. F. Nicholls, on account of alleged connection with the military authorities, Is being defended at the instance of the government with a view of eliciting proof that no British officer knew of the matter. Owing to unpleasant police attentions, at the behest of the gov ernment the Duke of Orleans, who recently arrived at Genoa from Palermo on his yacht the Maroussia, has decided to leave Genoa and to cruise along the river The government has also ordered the police to watch the western frontiers.

FLORENCE.
Eight Deaths Within a Week-Through
 Service of the Southerr

Florence, June 9.-(SpeclaL) )-During the week ending today Florence has witnessed the death of eight of her citizens. Two died on yesterday, Mrs. Lizzie Brown and George Paul, the infant son of William A. Heupel whose wife was buried only a few weeks since. Mrs. Priscalla Meadows, wife of the late Rev. l.. A. Meadows, and who was at the time of her death the old est person in Florence, was buried on Tues day morning. She was 93 years of age, having been born in Virginia on November 20, 1895, and came to this section when quite a young woman. Mrs. Meadows was in remarkably good health until Saturday be- fore her death and retained wonderful amount of knowledge. She remembered perfectly many of the events of three-quar- ters of a century ago, and talked interest ingly of the war of 1S12 at the outbreak of which she was a girl of seven years. The other deaths during the week were Sabin Phelps, son of MT. and Mrs. B. F. Larra- bee; Thomas J. A. Young, who died of can- cer; Floyd Bowers, whose home was in Sugar Grove, ". Va, and who had been employed as bookkeeper for the Florence Pump and Lumber company for a number of years; Jacob Potterfield, who lived near Wesley Chapel; Mrs Mamie Brown, daugh- ter of William Ragsdale. The deaths have all been from natural causes, as there is no epidemic of any description in this sec tion.
 The best information obtainable is to the effect that the new Southern Railway serv- ice from Memphis to Birmingham and At lanta via Florence will begin on the 1st of July or soon thereafter.
 When the Southern purchased the North ern Alabama Railway, running from Shef- field to Jasper, it gave them a direct con- nection with Sheffield Florence and Tuss- cumbia, and the business people of the three cities have been making a determined effort to get the service installed. The plan is to take in all three cities upon the main line of the system, whereas the first two named towns have had heretofore only a branch service. Florence will now be made the northern terminus of the Northern Ala bama instead of Sheffield, and through train service will be given from Memphis and Chattanooga through this place, Shef- field and Tuscumbia to Birmingham and Atlanta if the plans of the company are carried out. The new service will mean almost as much to Florence as new line of railroad, and will be a great step for ward for the business interests in the mat ter of freight rates as well as in conveni- ent passenger connections.
