HIS LITTLE BUNDLE.
1t Wasn't Much in Size But the Value
of 1t Astonished the Hotel
Clerk.

A quietIooking, smooth-shaven man, with
a straw hat pushed back from his forehead,
registered from an adjoining parish at thu
Grunewald one evening and laid package
on the counter The package was about
the size of an unabridged dictionary and
was wrapped up in an old newspaper that
bore the stains of travel. 1t was tied with
a piece of white cotton string. Il wish you
would take care of this little bundle for me
overnight" said the stranger. ''-All right,
SIR replied the clerk, and, reaching for the
receipt book, proceeded to fill out blank.
whats the value?' he asked, mechanical.
ly. "Sixty-ive thousand dollars" an
swered the smooth-shaven man in an off
handed tone. What" gasped the clerk,
his pen averted in midair and his eyes as
round as cart wheels. Sixty five thousand"
repeated the guest; "and, by the way, l
guess I'll just seal up that wrapping. 1t
seems about to fall off" !.
He opened the paper and disclosed a rect.
angular block of $40 bills, packed as tight as
sardines. Theye were nearly all well worn,
but nevertheless the grimy mass looked
strongly tempting. Its tremendous poten-
TALLY drove spur into the Imagination of
the dullest chap in the corridor, and every
body began to tell what he would do if he
were rich. Meanwhile the smooth-shavel
man readjusted the cover, secured it with
wax, pocketed his receipt and walked off.
He was a country banker bringing deposit
to his local correspondent.-N. o. Times

HIS BATH NOT A SUCCESS.
Being in q Hurry He ForSot u

clothes.

It seems her husband had been out very
late celebrating, and as he came home IN the
rose flush of the morning he thought IL
would be capital idea to take bath be-
fore getting into bed. First of all and most
important it would contradict any wrong
impression as to his condition, as his wi1e
sometimes had wrong impressions when he
had been out late at night. Women are SO
suspicious.
So he went boldly to the bathroom and
was soon splashing around as gayly as
canary In fact, he created such an an
usual connection that his wife woke up
and went to see what was the matter.
Suddenly he saw her gazing through the
door with look so cold and contempt
uous that it struck a chill to his very
heart But he made dive for the soap
and went on industriously with his aoiu'
tions.
what are you doing there, Peter?" she
asked him.
He made the effort of his life to appear
debonair and perfectly sober.
Cant you see what am doing, my dear!
he answered, with another prodigious splash

A sA1L-sTRETcHING OUTING.
Prises and Pleases Her Admirers
-.SpecuIatiOn as to the Result.

Southampton, July 10.-Yachting
circles in the Solent were never more
excited than now over the prospects
in the forthcoming race for the Amer
ir;'s cup between the Shamrock and
Columbia. Yachtsmen can be seen in
all directions, and in Southampton,
Hythe, Calshot and Cowes the keenest
lookout was kept for the challenger,
which it was known would stretch her
sails.
Yelled in Secrecy.
Every movement was yelled with the
protoundest secrecy, and. owing to the
rumors in circulation that her sails
were unsatisfactory, the interest was
intensified. Newspaper men and pho
tographers gathered in large numbers,
and would have given anything to
know the programme. but nothing was
given out.

Fife, the designer of the Shamrock,
was much in evidence.
A Magnificent Sight.
In Southampton water the Sham
rock prest nted a magnificent sight.
The slight breeze was just enough to
fill her sails, but she glided speedily
ard as gracefully as swan.
Not a Test of Speed.
1t should be understood the trip was
in no sense test of speed, although
the lYerna and Samantha accompanied
her. 1t was solely for the purpose
of sail stretching. Very soon it be-
came apparent that there was not a
shadow of foundation for the unfavor-
able reports. No doubt few minor
alterations will be found necessary,
" excellent.
Helm Trials satisfactory.
The helm trials were even more sat

all demands beautifully, and without
the least trouble.
After passing Calshot castle, she was
directed toward Cowes, where she was
eagerly scanned by crowds of experts
already arrived for the occasion.

\ distinguished expert and yachting
authority said to the correspondent
that the Shamrock was the finest

PAUL JONES,

Here is an editorial from the Louis jana press that voices our senti- ments to a letter.
 While we are lowing down in homage to Admiral Dewey, and raising money to buy him a home. it IS a wonder that there does not come to us a feeling of sadness and shame when we reflect that the bones of John Paul Jones lie in the potter's field in Paris, France, and that his country has forgotten him.
 And yet Dewey is not in the hero class with John Paul Jones. The former in command ofsuperior ships sailed into the harbor of a fifth rate power and sank all her second rate ships.
 And what did John Paul Jones do? The recollection of what he did will thrill the blood in patriots veins for a thousand years.
 He ran the Bon Hom Richard along side the British ship Serapis, boarding her amid the fires of hell and fought the red coats man to man, and conquered them. Dewey crushed a worn out and motheaten Lation with his superior stren gth. while John Paul Jones. fighting against fearful odds, conquered the oreatpst mower On earth.
 Wren our sober senses return to us, we shall see ourselves as we are seen, and the patriotic colonies fighting for the priceless boon of liberty in the blood of their defend- CTS. The day will come when these things will return to haunt us.

MT. E. H. Matthews, memoer of the State Board of Charities, passed through cur city this morning en route to his home at Monticello.
 In an interview with him our re- porter was informed that at the meeting held in Little Rock by the State Board, it was decided to build temporary institute for the deaf. .mutes. TLis institute will cost, so Mir. Mathews says, about 5000 They do not care to build a costly or expensive one at the present, and to shelter the deaf mutes who have been made homeless by the burning of the former institute, the committee thought it advisable to erect the temporary one. It will be ready for Ase by January 1st, 1899.
