TRopBLE ca USED nj a DRUMMER.

New Orleans Times Democrat
''The other evening, Just before We
changed watch, said tho clerk at one
of tho hotels, "a lat drummer came up
and began figuring out his expense
account for tho day He took the first
piece of paper he could lay his hands
on, and didn't notice that it was the
blank We use for keeping memoranda
of the morning calls. Tbs blank is
arranged in columns headed by figures,
representing hours and half hours, and
he began his peneiling in the 3. 80 row.
First he iotted down 81. 90 for buggy
hire; then 10 cents for stamps, 35 cents
for carfare, SLIGO for express package,
81. 10 for kilograms, 30 cents for a trunk
strap, . cents for q paper and 25 cents
for messenger service. Down at tho
bottom, as an after thought, he put 40,
and wrote beer after il, thinking to
work it somehow, / suppose. Well, at
330 O'Clock next morning there was
trouble, and plenty of it. Tho night
clerk supposed, of course, that the calls
had been left in the ordinary way, and
while he was little surprised at so
many people wanting 10 get up ut such
an unearthly hour, he told the boys to
wake Nos. l50, 10, 30, lG0, ITO, 30, 8
and %, and carry quart bottle Of beer
to No. 40. They had a terrible time
getting the people up, and everybody
was as mad as blazes, particularly the
fat drummer himself. who happened to
be in No. ll0, and who swore he was
going right down to lick tho clerk.
About that timo the boy with the beer
got to No. 40. There was preacher
from North Georgia in in room,
and he called out to know what was
wanted. 1--we brought you the beer you
ordered" hollers the kid, and the
preacher nearly had fit. 'Merciful
heavens = he said, this will ruin me
for life! l Will go down immediately
and see the proprietor = He and the
fat drummer struck tho Office together.
The drummer wanted gore, but when
he saw the call list he turned pale
around the gills and sneaked back
upstairs. 1t took nearly an hour to get
the minister cooled off, and when the
facts leaked out next day. several peo-
pie began looking for the fat drummer
with clubs. He lay low, hut he has
bought new memoranda book on pur-
pose 10 figure up his cash" 7"

The Milford Chronicle, UnicE Re-
publican paper, is outspoken in its
opposition to any recognition of the
principle Of representation according TO
population in Republican State con
ventiops. "lt is is most obvious,'' it
says, that the principle of representa-
tion according to population in the
distribution of delegates to State
convention, is not for the best interest
of the good people of rural Delaware.
We believe this is good logic, good
political economy and good politics. 50
And not only Union Republicans, but
Regular Republicans, outside of Will
mington, subscribe heartily to this
doctrine. The old cry of Delaware Re.
publicans, Representation according
to population, raised moro than thirty
years ago for political effect, nc longer
finds favor with Republicans of the
rural portions of the State. They fear
the preponderance that Wilmington
would have under such system.

Why the leaves turn color in the fall
of the year ia mystery TO many people
lis thus told by Charles L. Seybold,
superintendent of Carroll Park, Balti-
more: 1.-The Green matter in the tissue
Of d leaf is composed of two colors,
rod and blue. When the sap ceases to
flow in the autumn and natural growth
cf tho tree ceases, oxidation CT the
tissue takes pIaco. Under certain con-
aitions the giten leaf changes to red
rnder diiferert conditions it takes On
yollow or btpwn tint, This difference
in color is duA to the difference IN COM
biaation of the original constituents of
the green tiEue and to tho varying
conditions of diimate, exposure and soil.
A dty, cold climate produces more bril-
l,ant foliage than one that ia damp and
warIt. This IS the reason that our
American autsmns arc SO much more
gorgeous than those of England"

Spite of the Had Weather.
The rain might SPOT the ebony coun-
tenance and cause the colored costume
to iun, but it could not damper the
ardor or spoil tho fun OF the Halloween
masqueraders. One might have thought
it a good guess thar'luesday nights rain

Notwithstanding Tho growth of the Gus
tom of wearing masks on Holly Eve.
But trip along the principal streets
was enough to show the badness Of
such guess The masks were out in

Tho young people had great time
in parading the streets and in visiting
their friends; and the older folks had a
Jolly time, too. in watching tho plea

their own pranks when they were young

,of the fortune telling games Of Hal

An Industry Threatened with Rum.


The great indigo industry in Behar,
which gives employment TO hundreds of
thousands of families in one Of the most
populous districts in northern India. is
threatened with destruction. Twenty
five millions CT dollars oil mole arc in
vested in 1t, and the situation promises
to assume the proportions of a public
calamity. The Rehar planters, who
own the lands and cultivate mainly at
their own risk, about twenty five years
ago formed an association, in concert
with the government, which established
almost ideal relations between the land
owners, the cultivators, and the fac
tories, and has enjoyed ever since an
uncommon share of peace and pros
perity.
Now it is threatened with ruin, Le-
cause of the competition of the cheap
aniline dyes produced by modern
chemistry. For many years the Behar
indigo held its own by virtue of its
superiority in color and peimanence TO
tho artificial product, but it is now
claimed that a true and pure indigo
has been chemically produced. AS fur
back as 1885, Prof. V. Bayer showed
how to build up indigo synthetically
from its component parts. But after
years of costly experiment it was not
found possible tc produuce indigo COM
mereially by his method. In 1890, how
ercr, Prof. Heumann of Zurich carried
the research step forward, and
finally, IN 1897, artificial indigo was
bought upon the market at a price
capable of competing with the natural
article. The manufacture has now
been taken up by the largest color
works in the world, and tho planters
in Behar find themselves puwerless to
contend against an articls at once
equal to and cheaper than their own,
and independent of transportation.
