The Streets of New York.

&c was lunchtime and the frankfurt
ts.r and rolf men of Frankfort street
were doing their best to appease the APP
petites of the 200 or 800 newsboys who
throng Park row. One of the dealers in
giving change to buyer accidentally
dropped dime, and before he had time
to pick it up his brother dealer quickly
stopped down and grabbed it. Then en-
sued an argument in way which only
'sfrankfurter men can argue, each
claiming that he had dropped the dime.
1t is very. likely they would be arguing
vet had not a young fellow of the Bow
cry type who had CHANGED to witness
the trouble interfered. Walking up to
the one who had really dropped the
money he said:
Oats yer dime dat bloke has, amt
it?"
Eyes
well, say. how much will yer GIN
me if 1 gets it back fer yer?"
"a nickel" was the answer.
Then, addressing the other contestant,
the Bowery boy said:
''Say, yer got dat Teller dime, cause
1 saw yer take it. But, say, if don {
take it away from yer how much will
yer gimme?"
"Six cents was the quick reply.
''All right; hand over The bargain
was concluded just as a policeman came
rushing up and grabbed the one who
had dropped the dime and took him to
the station house for disorderly conduct.

An Accountable Clock.

A we'll known professor sometimes
became so mach interested in his lecture
that when the noon bell rang he kept
the class five or ten minutes over the
hour. Certain restless spirits among the
students thought they would give him
a gentle hint, SO they bought an alarm
clock, set it to go off precisely at noon
and placed it on the professors desk
when they came in to the next lecture.
They knew that he was little absent
minded and expected that he would not
notice it.
As the noon hour struck the alarm
went off with a crash, and those of the
class not in the secret started and took
in the joke at once. There was round
of applause. The professor waited until
the alarm and the applause were over
and then said: Young gentlemen, I
thank You for this little gift. 1 had for
gotten it was my birthday. An alarm
clock is something my wife has needed
for our servant for some time 1t is
very kind remembrance on your part. 3"
The professor then went on to finish

alarm. London Tit-Bits. n

The English population consisted of
churchmen. mobiles and craftsmen, as
well as common people. 1t was novel
and significant division. Traders and
manufacturers took their places some

ticians of older standing, filling the
whole land till it seems for a moment
as if nothing counted any more in
English life save its middle class-a
busy. hard, prosperous. pugnacious
middle class, slowly emerging from its
early obscurity. In this century it had
arrived at power definitely, ostenta-
tiously. carrying n proud look and
high stomach, intent on its own affairs.

Not many years ago a famous whist
game was played at Sudbury. VT, two

so you see it was easy for a man to lose
as much as 81. 80 in an afternoon. Play
began after the Sudbury dinner hour,
half past 1, and lasted until teatime
The old boosters became so wrapped up
in the game that nothing short of an
earthquake could have disturbed them.
Brokers in New York could do nothing
to shake the interest.
The game was played at the time of
the historic Hannibal and ST. Joe cor
ner, engineered by Kennedy, Hutchin-
son q Co., in the interest of their client,
John Duff of Boston. Doubleday was
selling the stock short through Van
Schaick q Co, and at quarter to 2 on
the eventful day he received q telegram
from his brokers advising him of the
situation. The game was stopped just
long enough for him to read it and lay
it aside. In 90 minutes second dis
patch arrived. was read and cast aside.
Doubleday was winning at the rate of

about Hannibal and st. Joe2 Later in
the afternoon a third summons came
from Van Schaick & Co, and at 5

and remarked: Gentlemen, l have en-

the first telegram was sent he could
have settled for S25, 900, at the time of

S75, 600. He had ample warning, but

The late Henry Reeve, c. B., ID. c.
L.. for many years leader writer of the
London Times and until his death edi-
tor of the Edinburgh Review, has mar
rated much amusing gossip of the celeb
rites of his acquaintance in his
memoirs and Correspondence. The
book contains one great rarity-a new
story of Sydney Smith.
Mr.. Reeve was dining one night at a
house where the other distinguished
guests included Macaulay and Sydney
Smith. Macaulay was at that time lay
ing society waste with his waterspouts
of talk. People in his company were al
ways bursting for want of an opportu-
nifty OF dropping n word, and this was
not an exceptional occasion.
At length. dinner being over, Sydney
Smith. Reeve and few others went
away by themselves. and Immediately
got on the overpowering subject of
Macaulay.
He confounds soliloquy and col
loquy." said Reeve.
He is book in breeches,' Smith
declared.

lays character is his appalling mem
ory," said Reeve.
"Aye. indeed" said Sydney Smith.

Smyrna times., 1899-06-21

has passed Hennessey this summer
and been burst by firing a cannon.
The citizens recently purchased four
large guns and placed one in each
quarter of the town. A man is hired
to watch the cannon, and when tor
nado comes along he is to load and
fire. In this way no tornado can blow
away the town, the inhabitants assert.
1t remains for a Chicago man, E. d.
Belts, to invent cannon which he as
serts will prevent tOrnadOes in every
instance. He has offered it to the
Government for general distribution
in tornado districts at the cost of
manufacture.
The annihilator is a small cannon
with a weather vane and an air trig-
ger. The weather vane is for the pur-
pose of aiming the cannon which rests
upon a vertical pivot. When tornado
approaches the vane turns the cannon
so it points directly at the funnel
shaped cloud. When the wind reaches
velocity of sixty five miles an hour it
will spring the trigger and fire the
cannon. The prOjectile fired into the
revolving cloud will throw it off its
balance and it will scatter into harm
less zephyr.

AT a dinner given in London last
week to Mark Twain, Senator elect
Chauncey M. Depew, in a speech al
luding to the change of sentiment in
America procured by Great Britian's
attitude and action during the Hispano-
American war, said:
"When Captain Coghlan of the
Raleigh, returned from Manila he told
us about the attitude of Admiral Won
Diedrichs and Sir Edward Chichester,
Of the Immortalite; and he told us -
what we all in our hearts already
knew-that the European Powers, save
Eagland, sympathized with our enc
mics, and that it was only their know
ledge that England would support us
morally and actively if necessary,
which prevented their interference
(applause) and it was this knowledge
which made it possible for me, when
addressing a political gathering of 20,
600 people in America the other day,
to take the Stars and Stripes in one
hand and t O..Ju Jack in the other
and not to hear one dissenting voice il
the vast audience.
