Lacking Like n Walter.

The popular manager OF one OF the
big roadhouses was walking around
the piazza of the place the other night,
seeing that the customers were being
treated right and getting what was
coming to them. He was logged out
in Tuxedo suit. A corpulent man ut
one Of the tables snapped his fingers
and beckoned to the manager. "Hey,
there, you, bring me bottle o. beer"
said the corpulent man. "And while
you're about It, fetch me a chicken
sandwich" "Yes. SIR" said the man
ager, humbly, and he hustled down
stairs, got the two orders together and
brought them up to the fat man on =
tray. The fat man tipped the man
ager 80 cents. "You can buy tack
with the change, Bill" he said. Then
the manager repaired to the bar with
grin and bought himself a large, wide
drink with the first tip he had ever re-
ceived. "There's money in this graft
of looking like waiter, he remarked.

that during the fiscal year ended June

ing or passing counterfeit money or

THE CANALS BOTTOM SANK.
Contractors Puzzled and Dlsmayed Over
tho Ground Shrinking In Their Work
on q waterway.

Kewanee, H., July 2!.-The bottom
OF the Hennepin canal in Henry and
Bureau counties has sunk, and the Gin
cinnati firm which has the contract for
construction on this section is puzzled
and in dismay at the unexpected hap
pening. 1t was found that the ground
for 100 feet around where the
big shovel stood had sunk ten
feet. Subsequent borings brought
to light the fact that no solid
bottom existed for q depth of ~ feet
below the level Of the hardpan. Quick
sand In the soil Is thought to be the
reason for the shrinking Of the ground
and the same trouble has often been
experienced in digging wells. Inas-
much as the canal has to be cut, &C
cording to the accepted surveys,
through about four miles of the ground
apparently of the same consistency, the
case presents some engineering features
that are quite out Of the ordinary and
It is puzzling the contractors to know
how to accomplish the feat.

THE GEAR CRAZY.
The Russian Emperor Said 20 BE Plunged
In Melancholy on Account Of Not
Having . Son.

Chicago, July 27.-Yesterday's Record
printed cable from Stockholm saying:
Private letters received from st. Peters
burg declare that no doubt exists in
the minds of persons Of the inner
court circle that the car intends
soon to make his brother, the Grand
Duke Michael, regent Of the empire.
This arrangement will be temporary,
its permanency being contingent
on the emperor's regaining his health
through an operation-trcpanning-
which he is about to undergo. The
birth OF the Grand Duchess Olga in
1898 was grievous disappointment
to the car, who had his heart set on
the birth of q son. In 1897 came
Tatiana, also girl, and since
that time his majesty has prayed
necessarily for an heir. The recent
birth of third daughter. followed by
the death of his brother, the czarowitz,
is said to have plunged him in melan-
choly, and his physicians fear that un-
less the pressure on the brain which
they have diagnosed is relieved his rea-
son may be permanently impaired.

joined the colony, sailing on
the Labrador. Arriving ut Mon
rovia, the colonists received the
allotments OF land that had been

would be several years before they
could gather the first crop Of coffee,
which was about the only thing that
could be raised. The agent in charge
Of the supplies, which were to have
been furnished them for one year, sold
them in the interior and left with the
proceeds. Some of the colonists made
their way inland and attempted to
compete with the natives ut starvation
wages in the fields and as carriers.
Scores succumbed to the fevers, among
them the husbands Of Mrs. Boone and
Mrs. Simlton. They escaped to Free

order to obviate the apparent necessity
Of an amendment to the constitution

II, on the third Tuesday after the organiza-

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
q British Journalist Sums Up Its Work.
A Permanent Court Of Arbitration
Recommended.

The Hague, July 26.-William 7.
Stead, the English Journalist, says
that the following may be accepted ~
o fairly accurate summary OF the views
they entertain: The esta blishment Of q
permanent court Of arbitration on the
American principle Of revision, plus
the French declaration of the duty of
neutrals TO recommend disputing pow
ers to resort to the arbitration court
entails no obligations on the Ameri-
cans inconsistent with their traditional
policy. This Is made absolutely clear
by the declaration signed by the Amer
lean delegation, read in full at the con-
ference yesterday and entered on the
records.
The Englishmen and Americans acted
throughout almost like joint delega-
ton. This was due to no arrangement
or direction, but solely because both
nations found common ground OF de-
Tense, common interests, civilization
and humanity. The only point on
which the English delegates failed to
support the Americans was the resolu-
ton forbidding the capture Of private
property at sea. To this the English
representatives were not opposed, but,
British opinion being divided, the dele
gates had no instructions regarding
the matter and abstained from taking
action.
After the arbitration convention is
signed II will probably be opened to
the adhesion Of all other powers not
represented at the conference, on con-
dition that no original signatory Of the
convention object. This right TO black.
ball any power wishing to join the con-
vention was insisted upon by Italy, in
order to prevent the adhesion Of the
pope and by England on account Of the
Transvaal, It Is hoped that all the
South American states will come in.
1t Is the unanimous opinion Of all the
American delegates that the conference
begins new epoch and the good seed
now sown will bear rich harvest
hereafter.
A Clause for tho United States.
The Hague, July 2G.-An arrangement
has been agreed to with regard to the
objection raised by the American dele
gates TO the international peace confer
ence to the use Of the word duty" In ar
,icle 81 of the general act, in way that
would imply any obligation on the part
of the United States to interfere In dis
putes between European governments
and vice versa. The word duty" Ii
retained. but on the motion OF the
American delegation, definitive declara'
ton is inserted that nothing in the ar
bitration convention shall impose m
obligation upon the United States tt
interfere in European affairs, or vice
versa.
