Despite a Heavy Rainstorm-
Impromptu Reception.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. a.-The torpedo
boat Shubrick was launched here to-day in
the presence of President Mckinley. many
members of his Cabinet, Governor Tyler.
OF Virginia, and an immense outpouring OF
people. The demonstration was marred IN
some of its features by heavy rain storm.
The civic carnival parade had TO be aban-
doned until tomorrow, owing to TIE wealth
er and the decorations OF the buildings pre-
scnted a bedragged and woebegone appear
ance. But the people, residents as well as
visitors from other Virginia cities and points
outside the State who came TO see the
launching and the President, were enthu-
siGstic.
The presidential train arrived on time and
as 1t rolled through the suburbs of the city
the howitzer battery fired a presidential
lutte. AT Elba Station, in the west end,
where the President debarked and took
carriage for the Jefferson Hotel, he was
formally welcomed by Mayor Taylor. who
spoke as follows:
simply an old Virginia welcome and as may
or and the representative OF every man,
woman and child n this community, bid
you and your distinguished associates
hearty welcome to this historic city. We
are mindful of the fact that you have shown
by your patriotic utterances that you stand
aside all differences. We esteem you as the
President OF our entire country and as such
| We greet you and thank you sincerely for
| your kindness in coming to cciehr@sia-:
| OF an event which is an epoch in our COM
mercial history"
The response of the President follows:
Mr.. Mayor and Fe,low-citizens-I only
| appear for a moment to give heartfelt re-
sponse TO the warm and cordial welcome
given TO me by the people Of the city OF
| Richmond through its honored chief execu-
| tive officer. Your mayor has kindly alluded
| to the good feeling which ever prevails and
/ can only, in replying, say that IL In the
slightest degree 1 contributed 10 the unifica-
| tion of the country il is the proudest honor
| of my life. i am to speak for a few min
| utes this afternoon and so, only thanking
you, Mr. Mayor and my fellow-citizens. for
| this welcome, i bid you all good morning"
Immediately after this ceremony the Pres
| ident and party were driven to the Jefferscn
Hotel and held an informal and somewhat
| enforced reception in the Franklin-street
| lobby OF the building. IL Is estimated that
| a thousand persons shook hands with him
before he would permit the police TO clear
| the way for him to go TO his private apart
ments. little later luncheon was served
| IN the dining rooms OF the hotel. some three
| hundred persons sitting down, and then the
presidential party was driven 10 the ship
| yard, the President being warmly cheered
| all along the route. At the yard an immense
crowd had assembled.

"I gave him my address as soon as could get away from the carriage, and at the same time 1 gave him a surrep- titious five shillings and asked him not to give my name to Mrs. Scoble.
 q saw Scoble on the platform as the train drew up at Greencroft, but he did not see me, for had concealed myself behind the curtains of the carriage. l watched him until his back was turned and then sprang out and bolted into the cloakroom, which was close at hand. had hoped to remain there until ScoDle had left the station, but l was disap- pointed. The porter in attendance, finding that I had no particular busi- ness with him, immediately suspected me of designs upon the property under his charge and told me that l must not stay in the cloakroom. l tried bribery, but the action only confirmed his sus- picions. and he roughly ordered me to 20 about my business or he woul1 have me arrested. Just then Scoble spied me.
 "'Why. here you are, after all" he exclaimed. Where on earth have you been?
 s.The niece had returned. and was standing looking in bewi.derment first At me. and then at her uncle. Sudden ly she took in the full meaning of the situation, and. after saying to me, Is this Mir. Johnston?' burst into uncon- trollable laughter.
 "There never was anything so con- tagious and irresistible as that laugh since the world began, and the flash of the girls mischievOus eyes would have made John Calvin smile even in the act of burning a heretic. l could not help it, but in another moment 1 found myself joining in the girls laughter, while Scoble stood and gazed at us with an almost frightened expression.
 "The niece was the first to speak. Uncle she said, there has been a mis- take that would have been perfectly awful If MT. Johnston had not been a real humorist and seen the funny side of it. Auntie has driven home, for she cOulu uOl wait dIy IOuSCl, anu we W III all three walk home together, and you shall know all about it.
 'I hesitated for a second, and then said to myself that 1 would meet fifty aunts sooner than say good-by to the niece before I had convinced her that I was not always stupid, and that I could sometimes be other than a nuisance. 1 not only walked home with her and faced the dismayed and repentant aunt, but 1 stayed my full week at Green croft. When I came away I was en- gagged to be married. and had already began to call Mrs. Scoble aunt, part ly to show her that I bore no malice and partly by way of emphasizing the triumph that the man whom she had called stupid had won."-Pall Mall.

 A splendid body of copper ore is be- ing opened in the Altata mine at ChlO- ride.
 A Boston syndicate has purchased the West Argentine mine near Stock ton, Cal, for the low figure of $45, ,OO0.
 The DeeBers diamond mine in South Africa is at present the largest divi- dend payer in the world. It paid in 1898 $7,6S7, 300.

The Tea-TaSter.

The tea-taster is king at HankOw. China, for the six weeks of his exclu- sive reign, and whatever be may do during the remainder of the year, he is a most rigid total abStainer during the high season, when every faculty of his keeneSt senses is on the alert. Although he never swallows a sample sip, the tea-taSter's nerves and diges- ton are impaired at the end of ten or twelve years, even the stimulating eff feet of the strong, volatile aroma in the tea-hOngs sometimes giving retired which the Chinese and Japanese recog5 nize as a disease; while temperance rel formers, usually green-tea drinkersl seem ignorant of the fact that other stimulants than alcohol may be abused. The professional tea-taster at Hankow is said to drink only soda or mineral waters during the ScOrching weeks of his eXacting season, and when word goes round the settlement that such a one of the great experts was seen to take sherry and bitters at the club, it is a signal that the great tea season is declining, that little choice tea is being brought in. Then the tension relaXes. and a certain section of Hankow gives itself over to a jubilation and indul- gence that are scandal and bywOrd of the other ports. Although the tea firms are all Russians or Siberians now. the tea-tasters are Englishmen, and for reasons not fiattering to Russian char acter, it is said that the tea-tasters will always be English.-Century.

Nellie and the Queen.

London papers repeat an anecdOte about Nellie Grant, daughter of Gen. U. S. Grant, which seems worth re- calling. Miss Nellie Grant, when a schoolgirl, visited London and was asked to luncheon by the Queen. After the meal was over and the American guest had gone the Marchioness of Ely, the Queens secretary, who was of the party, expressed her great surprise at the perfect self-possession and freedom from embarrassment of the young girl from the States. "Yes," said Queen Victoria, smiling, indeed, it was I who was embarrassed" ."-London Cor. Balti- more Sun.

A remarkable story from reliable
source illustrates the deadly effect Of.
a new rife named the mannlicher, which
is being used by continental troops. At
Podhorz, near Prague, two gendarmes
while on their round entered an inn and
sat down, placing their mannlicher
rifles in corner. One of the guns
slipped and fell, catching the trigger
against a projecting seat. The ball went
through the door of the room, struck :
musician sitting beyond, passed
through his body and then through
five of his companions who happened
to be sitting by his side. The first man
was killed and the others seriously in
jured. 1t is said that such penetrative
force has never been found in any 9th
er rife, and further experiments are
about TO be made Golden Penny.
