The United States inspection board
for the New York district to whom
Capt l.. Watkins OF the steamer Paris
owes his license has suspended him
from service as master OF ocean
steamers for period OF two years. Tn q
seems pretty severe considering that
the loss Of the Paris was the first seri-
Gus accident TO a ship under his charge
In a generation of service. that no loss
OF life or injury was associated with
the disaster and that after the steamer
went ON the rocks her skipper demon
strated the highest qualities OF the
commander in a big emergency.

1T was an old case. 1t had been on

good men had taken a try at it, but the
fellow was too sly. and he Kept taking

DOM PAUL'S spy SYSTEM.
How The Crafty Pres dent Of the South African Re
public Learned Secrets Of the British.

No one ever denied that Dom Paul,
president of the South African Repub-
lie. was an astute old statesman. Time
and again he has beaten our British
cousins in diplomacy and has proved
his worth as diplomatst.
At the time OF the Jameson raid IL
caused DR.. Jameson and his associates
considerable surprise that their plans
were known to the Beers almost as
soon as they were conceived. The Brit
ish were met, fought and defeated by
the very beginning of their attack. and
IL was believed at the time that one of
their number had turned traitor and
given the plans TO the Beers but now
the secret is known.
The old warrior enlisted the services
OF the barmaids at Johannesburg In the
political secret service. Through them
he learned that new men were being
enlisted i'm the Cape police and that new
guns were being shipped, week after
week. from England. Through the
same source he was Informed of the
attempts that were being made by Eng
lsh politicians to force the hands OF the
government OF the Orange Free state
In case war should be declared by the
British government against his coun-
try. The Engllshmen babbled all this
over their cups. and the barmaids
winning smiles and bright eyes never
gave them the suspicion that they were
telling secrets of vital Importance.
No sooner had the pretty barmaids
enticed from the sturdy cOlonists their
important secrets than Dom Paul was
informed. The old statesman knew how
To- parry blow with blow. To the
amazement of the British. no sooner
had they increased their force OF avail
able lighters by means of secret enlist
mrnt than they were Informed that
Dom Paul had enlisted a still larger
number of men. No sooner had their
gums arrived from England than they
found out hat the Beers also had OBJ
tanned. from firm i'm Germany. "A
larger number Of WeapQns of ill bet
ter manufacture. By means OF always
being forewarned Kruger warded off
war.
