"Speaking Of practical jokes - said
Canal street business man who has
just returned from a trip through north
Georgia, 81 saw that omelet trick
played ON fellow in Atlanta the other
night, and | was really amazed that he
didn't go on the warpath then and
there The thing occurred at restaur
ant where l was taking supper with
four chance acquaiptances made on the
trip.
Zone of the party was.a a cigar sales
man from Richmond, and after supper
he amused us with some sleight of hand
tricks. Finally he turned to a north
Georgia merchant, who was in the
crowd and asked him if he had ever
seen an omelet made in a hat The
merchant was a portly, rather pollpous,
individual, and replied, after some
thought. that he had not.
We'll. said the tobacco man, I'n
bet the cigars for rs two that can
make an omelet in the crown of your
silk hat without damaging it in the
slightest degree.
81 knew what was coming and be-

Georgian remarked solemnly that he
knew he would lose, but was willing to
pay 30 cents to see the trick.
''With that he handed over his hat,
which was brand new, and the tobacco
salesman proceeded to send for some
eggs and broke several into the crown.

Erick,s Rise to wealth.

Thirty years ago Henry c. Frick was
a poor bookkeeper in flour mill in
Fayette county, Pa. He made his start
in business by the purchase of small
interest in coal mine near his home.
The business grew steadily. In 1878,
at the time 8 the panic, he was only
"a years old. The'panic enabled him TO
acquire the whole plant, and then he
began to spread He bought everything
he could in the way of coal land, and
when the reaction came he found HIM
self enormously wealthy.
At 40 he was master of the coal
trade In 1878 he took in partner, E
NJ Ferguson, and after that, in 1889.
the Frick Coke company was organized.
Andrew Carnegie then became asso-
ciated with Mr.. Frick in the coal and
coke business, and for many years the
two have worked together. Mr.. Frick

his speed too slow. The Teresa had
passed the Iowa, and the Vizcaya and
Oquendo were abreast of the active
Yankee. Captain Evans swung his ship
so as to give the Teresa his full port
broadside. then as quickly SWING,
around to bring the Vizcaya under the
sta1 board guns. The Vizcaya got the
full force of a broadside, the forward
guns meanwhile firing at the Teresa.
After deluging the decks of the Vizcaya
with iron hail the Iowa swung again,
and her course lay across the path of
the Oquendo.
Finding that he could not keep speed
with the Oquendo, Captain Evans shift
ed the helm and lay his ships course
parallel to that of the Oquendo. The
vessels were abeam and about 1000
yards apart. The Iowa's rapid fire bat
teries were manned, and the full force
of the starboard battery was given to
the Spaniard. At the same time the
guns of the Indiana. from position off
the quarter of the Oquendo, was firing
at her. and the Oregon also.
The Colon, being the fastest cruiser,
was the last in the line, and, keeping
inside the other ships, at first passed
ahead. getting in shots whenever her
consorts uncovered the range. Two of her
shells struck the Iowa, one at and one
above the water line. Seeing the Ore
gon dash for the Colon, Captain Clark
turned his attention to the torpedo
boats, which came out of the harbor
just as the Iowa settled down to
fighting chase westward after the flee
ing Spaniards The Iowa, Indiana and
Oregon sighted the torpedo boats at the
same time, and all opened fire, which
the plucky Spaniards returned, while
the American shots chuIned the water
into foam all about them. The little
Gloucester dashed in. also, and was
nearly struck by the Iowa's fire, being
enveloped in the smoke of her own guns
and that of the hattleships. A large
projectile, from the Iowa probably, cut
one of the torpedo boats in two just as
her boilers exploded. But in all this
distress she fred a parting shell at the
Iowa, which passed within six feet CT
the head of Captain Evans as he paced
the bridge.
In eight minutes from the time the
torpedo boats emerged from the harbor
they were destroyed, and the Iowa's
course was set for the chase of the

would permit, and "Fighting Bob. -
with fighting crew, which had been
shouting ''Give EN- - for the
Mainel" all the morning, set to work
to rescue the unfortunate crew of the
doomed Vizcaya.
Captain Evans knew that the Iowa
would be of no advantage in the chase
after the swift Colon and turned his
attention to the suffering Spaniards on
the beach. Numbers of them were
struggling in the water, having jumped
overheard in fear of an explosion. The
Vizcaya had stranded about 400 yards
from shore, and Cuban insurgents
opened fire upon the unfortunates.
The wounded on the decks of the ship
were in danger of burning to death,
and were removed as soon as possible
by Captain Evans willing and active
crew. When the wounded Captain
Eulate of the Vizcaya was brought on
board, the doughty fighting sailor of
the Iowa displayed the noble side of his
nature. He declined the sword pre-
sented to him with much ceremony as
his rigbtful trophy of war by the Span
ish captive. This deed of chivalry was
cheered to the echo by the seminaked,
powder blackened crew lined up en- the
turrets, along the rail and upper works
of the Iowa.
Just as the boats were being lowered
from the Iowa to pick up the Spaniards
the flagship New York, with Sampson
on board, passed in chase of the swift
Colon. The commander in chief shouted
to Evans, "How many have you lost?''
The cheers of the Iowa's crew at the
sight of Sampson were drowned by the
hurrahs from the flagship when Captain
Evans answered the hail with, "Not a
man hurt ON the Iowal''

To Beat the Postal Service.

A scheme to beat the United States
postal service has been evolved by
Chicago men. The plan is to gather
up all of the second class mail matter
of large commercial houses, ship it to
Mexico by freight, change their Ameri-
can money into Mexican money at r.
ratio of two to one, buy Mexican
stamps. and with them mail the mat
ter back to the United States through
the Mexican postofiice. 1t is estimated
that one-half cent could be saved on
each letter and package thus handled.

could not interfere without the aid
