Cordial Feelings All Around.

Judge David j. Brewer, associate JUS
tice of the United States supreme court,
who is returning home on the Cunard
line steamer Etruria after his first visit
abroad to attend the preliminary meet
ing of the Venezuelan arbitration COM
mission, said to your representatives:
From the public men l have met
| here and from others have heard only
the most cordial feeling expressed to-
ward the United States. So far as l
have been able to judge from my brief
| visit the French are quite as friendly
toward the United States as the Eng
| lish shall return with Chief Justice
Fuller in May and anticipate passing a
| most pleasant summer in Paris"
| Replying to a question, Justice Brew
| err said:
II know it is being discussed abroad
| whether the United States in acquiring
| colonies does not invalidate the Monroe
doctrine, but Venezuela has now moth
ing to do with the doctrine. 1t has the
| status of a lawsuit"
| Great Britains business boom keeps
| pace with that of the United States.
| Not in ten years has there been such
| general prosperity in business and
| stocks Apart from the South African
boom, which maintains it's strength I'M
expectedly, gold shares are higher than
at the height of the boom of 1895. This
| feeling of confidence may be expected
to continue if the parliamentarians re-
| frain from attempting to goad Lord
i Salisbury to belligerent action, as dur
| ing the last session of parliament, and
| provoke counter threats from other
| powers. Most of the stock values have
attained higher level than in years,
and an unusually large proportion is
buying for investments instead of spec-
( ulation.
Lots of Good Orders.

crease in the United States exports at

ordinary times. The representative Of

| speaking of the steel and iron business,
says: Both the English and American

| is not enough business for both, the
English manufacturers, not the Ameri-
| cans, it may be predicted, will be the
| losers"

An extraordinary shooting adventure
is recorded by A. L. Butler of the State
museum, Selangor, Malaga. One day
in last July a Malay woodcutter went
out into the jungle to cut fuel, taking
with him an old single barreled, muz-
zle loading gun loaded with the rather
unscientific charge of bullet and four
buckshot. Moving quietly through the
jungle. he suddenly came upon tiger
feeding on the carcass of a sambhur,
and with touching confidence in his
weapon fired at distance of 20 PAGES.
The tiger rolled over. and when the
Malay cautiously approached he found
not one dead tiger, but two, the second
having been hidden from the sports
man, though only few feet distant
from the animal he fired at.
Mr.. Butler, who made post mortem
examination of the tigers after they
had been skinned, found that in each
case single buckshot had gone to The
heart. One had also an insignificant
wound on the head from another pellet.
"For really appalling fuke, . as Mr..
Butler says, this achievement of the
Malay woodcutter will be hard to beat.
1t certainly is not performance any
sane white man will try to parallel,
much, less to eclipse.

family servants He had been uHcoll-
scious since Saturday morning, anu
death came painlessly. Ever since JUS
tice Fields retirement from the su-
preme court bench on Dec. l, 1898, ne
had enjoyed comparatively good healtn'
and being relieved from the RESPONSE
bilities which he had borne for SO many
years he became more cheerful than
formerly and seemed to enjoy the So
ciety of his friends and acquaintance
more than ever before.
All during thewnter when the wealth
er was fair, it was his custom to take
daily drives about the city, or through
the grounds Of the Soldiers Home, and
he always returned refreshed. About
two weeks ago, however, he took
longer ride than usual in an open car
riage and contracted a severe cold,
which rapidly developed the kidney
troubles from which he had suffered,
though but slightly, for some time. The
disease readily Welded to treatment,
and on Thursday last he sat up for
time and seemed quite himself again,
but on Saturday morning a change for
the worse took place and about noon he
lost consciousness. From that time he
sank rapidly until he expired

was struck by a bullet while sitting in

Three unknown negro men were killed
in the Flatham district adjacent to the
Pana mines. The dead negro woman
was also killed in this district. Mrs.
Henriot was wounded while in her door
yard near the Pana mine. The report is
general that several miners are dead
and dying in fields near mine No. 2 Of
the Pana Coal company, having been
killed by stray bullets.
A dead negro miner was found after
nightfall in the road near shaft No. 2.
The firing in that vicinity was general
and it is not improbable that a se9rch
will result in other bodies being discJv-
cred.
The names of the three dead non-un-
ion negro miners are James L. James,
Henry HOODS and Charles Watkins.
The first name of the dead negro wom-
an is Julia. She is said to be the wife

Making a Football.

A football requires a vast amount of
work before it is ready for kicking over
the gridiron.
The balls are covered with cowhide
which must have remained in the tan
pits a year or more The hides are from
Z to s feet long, 6 to feet wide and
before splitting weigh from 20 to 80
pounds The skin has to be split into
two layers The part to be used is
soaked for a few days in a cleansing
preparation. 1t is "sleeked' out to
make it firm It is fed and cut into
shape The strips are stitched, always
by hand The bladder is or should be of
the finest Para rubber, and undergoes
perhaps more processes than the cow
hide. It is as necessary to the football as
pneumatic tires are to the cycle; in fact,
even mere so, since no effective substi-
tute for an air bladder has yet been dis
covered. The bladder is Of immense
strength, and is fitted with nozzle
through which the air is injected.
These bladders are an expensive item
and represent a considerable portion of
the cost of manufacture The bladder
is inserted through the unlaced slit,
and the next process is to blow it up.
The rubber nozzle fits over metal
tube on the machine A few turns of
the hand wheel and the ball is inflated.
It is now laced up and handed over to
the shaper who pats down any I'M
evenness in the seams,

across deep water, built in three Sec
tons, one above another, to q height
of about go feet. Over this a massive
travelling crane or carrier was op-
