HARD ON HIS NERVES.
A Chicago Proof Reader Who Could
Not Stand for Badly Punctu-
ated Signs.

The old proof reader, who had been
for more than a score of years correct
ing the thousand and one minor errors
which the haste of newspaper-making
allows to creep into copy" before it
reaches the printers hands, was most
methodical man, as proof readers are
likely to be. He came to work at the
same hour and minute every evening,
worked in the same methodical way
and knocked off at the same time, start
ing Immediately for home with one par
ticular chum. But one night he made
change in his mode of procedure,
which was the more remarkable COM
ing from him.
1t was the end of the week, and like
all well-regulated printers, he bor-
rowed his weekly dollar and started for
home. But instead of taking the near
est road he struck off on a roundabou
course.
whats the matter?" inquired his
partner, why don't you go down
Twelfth street tonight instead of TAX
ing this long route?'.
The proof reader hesitated moment
and then said:
well, I'll tell you. I'm getting so I
can't bear Twelfth street any more,
the signs over the stores are SO badly
spelled and punctuated."

CARTRIDGE BEER MUGS.
Used in the Late War to De
the Real Thing.

OF all the war relics which have
deluged the country, the new cartridge
beer mugs are the most unique. Afash-
ionable New York jeweler has discov-
cred that large cartridges lend them
selves to this purpose, and has prepared
several attractive designs, says the New
York World.
The cartridge beer mugs are made
from empty six-pound shells. The cart
ridges are little more than three
inches in diameter at the base and
slightly narrower at the top, where the
shell was placed. The opening is large
enough to drink from comfortably. It
is the same size as the hole made by
these six-pounder shot in the sides of
the Spanish warships.
The cartridges are made of brass in
order that they will stand the strain
put upon them at the moment Of explo-
sion without bursting. This quality of
brass will take a higher polish than
poorer grades ofthe metal. When pol
ished, the mugs glisten like gold.
Some Of the new mugs are arranged
with detachable handles, so that the
cartridge may be used as vase. The
only other decoration is silver band
on the front setting forth the history
of the cartridge. The inscription
records the name of the ship.

FOR OLD HARVARD.
The Singular Method Selected by an
Enthusiastic Student to Show
His Pride.

While a crowd of Harvard boys were
celebrating the Pennsylvania game in
the cafe of a Boston hotel one of the
students became infatuated with gor-
geous white waistcoat which was worn
by one of the colored walters, says the
New York World. He called the colored
man and said to him: II want to buy
that waistcoat!" what you want Of
that west, boss?" said the man. 'Ijust
want to buy it. What will you take for
it?" After a good deal OF gutfawing
and some hesitation the colored man al
lowed that he would take S. for it.
"Done," said the Harvard man, and he
pulled out S. bill and gave it to the
negro. who began to pull otf'his waist
coat. ooh, you needn't do that" said
the student. 81 don't want you to give
it to mel just, wanted to feel that ]
owned that waistcoat." The negro
went on to wait on his table, when the
student called to him: Come here!''
"What do you want, boss?" The stu
dent called the negro up close, dipped
his own fingers into plate OF cranber-
ny sauce that he had and with them
proceeded to mark big #" exactly on
the middle of the front of the white
waistcoat-his waistcoat!

Dons viii Ia Out of Philippines Upon
Withdrawal From Zamboanga.
MANILA, April 2l.-Spain's evacua-
ton Of the Philippine islands will be
practically completed by the with
drawal OF the Spanish garrison from
Zamboanga, island Of Mindanao, and
from the Suln island, and when the
United States assumes control of the
Mindanaoan Sulu islands on the Span.
ish withdrawal the military authorities
here must in order to garrison those ISL
ands diminish the forces of American
troops. which are already too small.
There was almost mutiny among the
Spanish troops in the islands because
they were ordered to proceed to the
Ladrone islands and the Caroline ISL
ands, some of them refusing to do so,
claiming that their enlistments had ex-
PRED.
A scouting party of the Minnesota
regiment near Guiguinto, between Ma
lolos and Bigaa, met superior force Of
Filipinos yesterday morning. The
Americans repulsed the enemy's attack.
One soldier of the Minnesota regiment
was wounded. A body of about 100
rebels tried to break through the lines
of Prices battalion at Pasig last night,
but they were repulsed without any loss
on the American side.

NIoBRARA, Neb., April 2-.-The rise
In the Missouri has remained about sta
tionary since Monday, inundating every
piece Of lowland along the valley. It
is fully as high as in 1881, continuing
longer and spreading over more terri
tory. Large quantities of stock are on
high sandbanks bordering the main
stream, where they are well cared for.
The families are in town, but the men
Remain to look after the stock. Fears
are entertained that if reports are true
from the upper country the river may
reach the town itself, as small amount
already has run over the banks into the
outskirts.
Sioux CRY. April 21.-It is thought
that the rise in the Missouri river is at
the limit, as it has begun to recede.
Water is still pouring over valuable
farm lands north Of Sioux City on the
Nebraska and South Dakota sides of
the stream. Thousands of acres are
submerged. Thousands of cattle have
been drowned, but so far no loss Of life
is reported. Great loss of property is
reported about Vermilion. s. D., and
it is feared the Vermilion will change
its course, running valuable land.
Trains are not running on the Milwau-
kee line to Yankton, as six miles Of
track is washed out. The situation in
the other towns appears to be unchanged.

Fake Story Is Discredited.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The state
ment that the commander of the Ger
man cruiser Fake had been arrested at
Apia by the British naval commander
was secuted by the officials to whom
it was referred here. Both Secretary
Hay and Secretary Long expressed their
disbelief in the accuracy Of the report.
Attention was directed to the fact that
the navy department. had heard from
Admiral Kautz by cable from Auck-
land April 4. a later date than that upon
which the steamer just arrived at Vic
toria must have sailed from Apia on her
long eastward voyage. 1t is regarded
as extremely unlikely that the steamer
could have made the trip from Apia to
Victoria since April A. It is suggested
as an explanation of the story that the
steamers crew had heard of the arrest

one of the Most Popular the
Younger Set Of American Authors
Fond Of Dress and Enjoys the
Good Things of Life.

Fifteen miles from Boston, in the old
town of Randolph and in typical New
England village house, lives Mary E..
Wilkins, one of the most popular of our
younger American authors. Her
stories of New England village and
rural life are unparalleled in their por-
trayal of certain types of New England
character and her style is of the ut
most simplicity and directness. She
has had host of imitators, but it has
not been possible for any of them to
initiate the qualities that have made
her one Of the foremost writer's Of the
day.
Ia Her first ventures into the world OF
literature, says the Detroit Free Press,
were not particularly encouraging.
and one Of her most successful stories,
IA Humble Romance" was refused by
Esevral editors before Miss Wilkins sent

Eitor Of Harper's Bazaar. Miss Booths
lquickness of perception and trained
literary insight at once recognized in
the Story something out of the or
binary. and her story was accepted and
Its author was asked to send other
stories to the Bazaar. Very soon Miss
Wilkins stories began to appear in
both the Bazaar and Harpers Monthly,
where they attracted great deal of
attention. This was about 6years ago,
and to-day Miss Wilkins is one of the
most sought after and best paid writer's
in America. She did not for some
time undertake an extended work, and
some of her friends doubted if she
could succeed with long story or
book. These doubts were dispelled
when Jane Field" appeared, and her
"Jerome" was one of the strongest
stories brought out two years ago. In
deed. it was one of the strongest delin-

nurses selected in San Francisco for

cations of New England life and char
acter ever written, and it had a very
large sale.
1t has long been Miss Wilkins wish
to write successful play, and her
"Giles Corey" has been dramatized and
was played in Boston, but it failed to
make much of an impression on the
theater-going public. Its author is not
at all discouraged, however, and she is
still hopeful of success in this direction.
In her personal appearance Miss
Wilkins is small and rather Slight, with
reddish brown hair and blue eyes. She
is extremely dainty and trim in every
detail of dress and evidently has all OF
a woman's praiseworthy fondness for
looking her best. On suitable occasions
she dresses very richly and her taste
is far better than that of the usual "lit-
erary" woman.
Thus far Miss Wilkins has steadily
refused to'appear in public as a reader
of her stories, although it is known that
she was made several tempting offers
to do so. Her refusal has been based on
her conviction that she would not be a
success as public reader. She is too
shy and retiring for platform work OF
any kind.
Miss Wilkins is without father OF
mother, brother or sister. She was born
in Randolph and was educated at Mount
Holyoke seminary. Her home was in
Brattleboro, VT, for a number oil
&, years, but for the past 16 years her
home has been in Randolph, where she
lives on the edge of the village in large
square white and green house the coun-
terpart of which may be seen in any
New England town. Here she lives her
quiet, busy life, going into Boston, &C.
casionally to accept some of the many
invitations offered her by the social
world. Her books are immensely pop.
ular in London and Miss Wilkins would
be sure of a real ovation if she should
go abroad. When j. NJ. Barrie was IN
America he said he would rather see
Mary Z. Wilkins than any other Ameri.
can writer, and when he reached Bos.
ton he went out to Randolph to visit
her. There is difference of opinion IA
to the permanency of her place i'll

Successful Test.

1t is only within the last few years
that sailors have discovered the great
advantage of carrying ballast on the
decks of empty ships, says the Man
chester Guardian. In sailing ships, of
course, it is necessary to have the
weight as low down in the hull as may
be, for the object is to give the vessel
Stiffness" and to counterbalance the
pressure of the wind on her sails. But
in steamers the weight of ballast need
ed to prevent the ship from capsizing
is small; most of it is carried to i'm
merse the propeller and to reduce roll
ing, and as steamers center of grav-
ity is generally nearer to her deck
than to her keel, ballast on deck stead
les her more than ballast at the
bottom of the hold. Some captains, it
is true, still refuse to believe that it
can be safe to carry weight so high up,
but the number of tramp steamers that
go to sea with rubbish on their decks
is steadily increasing.
The Mancunia, which has just had
her first experience of the Atlantic is
the first steamer in which provision

the space between the inner and outer
