LORD REVELsTOKE PRAISES TRUSTS.
The correspondent OF The Associated Press
has had an interview with Lord Revelstoke on
the latters visit to America from which he has
Just returned. Referring to the present rush
to form trusts and syndcates In America Lord
Revestoke. who is director OF the Bank Of
England and member OF the banking house of
Barring Brothers & Co., Limited. said:
These combines appear TO be OF immense advan-
tage Wildcat schemes VIII undoubtedly be tormus u
lated from time TO time. but great organizations OF
industry In America have. In my opinion; In most
cases resulted In u1doubted economy or aoor anu
expense of management. and have been beneficial
In financial and other results. Englishmen hardly
yet appreciate the force and potentiality OF the
present movement, but there will soon be revul-
sion OF public opinion In favor OF these comoina,
tions America is going forward by leaps and
bounds and will make things extremely uncomfort-
able for British industry If we of England do not
recognize more fully that the competition between
enterprises of vast capital, opposed TO more
limited individual ventures. can only end In favor
of the former and that is where America is now
getting her pull. The great copper combine has
put all other speculative interests into the shade;
The railroad share market is most apathetic, and
the open account In Yankees in London has been
reduced TO the minimum. But this Is only a tenn
porary phase Another six months will see a great
change
Lord Revelstoke closed by saying that "A visit
TO America is an education In Itself"

bait which we are always ready to
swallow in our hunger after our pet
bargain. We do not believe that this
is a national characteristic, but one
which we share with human nature.
Yet the temperament of the American
people is so persistently hopeful that
we see bargain where Scotchman,
for instance, would only detect a fraud.
On the other hand, we sometimes
meet those who avoid a bargain as
they would bear, and are sensitive
enough to believe that it is only po'
lite name for taking advantage of an
other-a sort of legalized swindling-
and despise the neighbor who buys
her friends India shawl at half price
after her husbands failure. At the
same time, in most cases, each party
thinks that the bargain is his own.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-05-27
THE BARGAIN,

There are some people whom moth
ing pleases so much as bargain. To
secure something for less than it's
worth seems to them to make life
worth living, and in order to compass
this end they will waste more time and
thought than would achieve something
greater, and perhaps after all, buy
something they do not want simply
because it is bargain. Such people
will crowd into a free lecture room,
when the smallest entrance fee would
deter them, not so much because they
dislike to part with their money but
because the love of bargain is inhe-
rent in their nature, and free lecture,
though it may be as dry as chips, is
more or less of a bargain comparative
ly speaking.
On one occasion a certain firm ad-
vertised a quantity of sheeting, dam
aged by water only, to be sold on a
certain day, and the rush for the sheet,
ing was something unheard of in the
annals of sheeting. But the bargain
hunters had the tables turned upon
them this time. 1t takes too to make a
bargain. The willy firm, instead OF
marking it down, as the buyers had
taken for granted, had marked it up a
cent or two on. the yard but as they
were none the wiser, they are proba-
bly, still hugging their bargain, and
looking out for more damaged sales.
In fact bargain is often found to be
a delusion and a snare. If you have
not paid fair price, you may be as
sured that the article is not what it
appears to be, whether houses and
land, cotton sheeting or silver mines.
eff there are cinders in the coal, it is
because there were cinders in the
pay" Some of us will spend half a
day at a time in search of this scarce
thing-a bargain-which is as hard to
find as a philosophers stone, and as
Elusive as the old recipes for making
gold. We are not content with get:
ting our moneys worth but we want
something thrown in; and the shop
man understands our case when he in
vents pleasant fictions, making us be-
lieve that he is losing by the sale-a

ORDERED GENERAL R. E. LEE OFF.
Made Him Go Back From the Firing Line
In the Wilderness.

"Long John" Williams, companion
of Bigfoot Wallace, friend of Jack
Hays, famous Indian fighter, noted
Ranger, trough rider" with Ben Nc
Cullough and Sui Ross, and the high
private who ordered General Lee away
from the firing line at the battle of the
Wilderness, came out of the woods on
San Jacinto day and stayed in Cald-
well, Tex, long enough for st. Louis
Globe Democrat correspondent to get
a snap shot at him, though he did pro-
test nightly against having his "pic-
ture put in the papers"
"There is a man who has certainly
been in more battles than he has got
hairs on his head, said a veteran.
"And if there ever lived man." said
another, "to whom the word fear con-
veyed absolutely no meaning, that
man is Long John Williams"
"Long John" was one of Hoods
Texans on Lees right in the Wilder
ness fight. At a critical moment, with
the Confederate battle line in danger
of breaking and Hancock hammering
like fend, General Lee galloped up
and, waving his sword, cried out that
he would lead the Texans. Three of
these sprang out of the ranks-"Long
John" Williams, Anderson Hood, of
Merle, Tex, and John Gee, Velasco.
"To the rear, general" said "Long
john" as the three privates led the
old roam horse back behind the line.
"You tell us what to do, and I'll lead
the boys. I can beat you at that.
They can do without me, but they
can't afford to lose you"
General Lee regarded this as the
highest compliment ever paid to him
by his troops.

IT HAD BETTER STAND.-During a
certain voyage of a downeast vessel,
the mate, who usually kept the log,
became intoxicated one day as the
man rarely committed the offence,
the captain excused him, and attended
to the log himself, concluding with
this:
"The mate has been drunk all day"
Next day the mate was on deck and
resumed his duties. Looking at the
log he discovered the entry the cap
tain had made, and ventured to remon-
strate with his superior. =,
"What is the need, sir" be asked,
"of putting that down on the log"
"Wasn't it true ?" asked the captain.

"Well," said the captain, since this
was true, it had better stand-lt had

The next day the captain had occa.
sion to look at the log, and at the end
of the entry the mate made was this
item: ~
"The captain has been sober all
day."
The captain summoned the mate,
and thundered: "Wbat did you mean
by that entry? Am I not sober every
day ?" 90,
ayes, sir; but wasn't it true?'
"Why of course it was true"
"Well, then, sir" said the mate,

Christmas Evans, was one summer
morning walking over mountain in

the way he met Mr.. Herring, cele-

Mr.. Evans, exclaimed Herring; "but

Christmas was, however, equal to the
