HE SAID GOLF WAS sHINNEY.

Justice, Who Doesn't Know PUT from
Call" Sits on the Game.
Without regarding the feelings OF
devotees of golf, Justice Potts of Jer-
sey City has brought the aristocratic'
game which canno be played without
cleeks, mashies, lofters, and drivers
down to the level of "shinney," a game
that only requires a crooked stick, any
old thing that will serve as a ball,
tough shins, and an opponent whom
the player Ices not like. Mrs. Pauline
Scharff lives near the links of the Jer-
sey City Golf club, and has filed objec-
lions to having her children swatted On
the head by golf balls driven in an &C.
centric by beginners at the
game. Despite the heat, Mrs. Scharh
also objects to having the windows OF
her home suddenly fall to pieces in a
most disquieting way. 1t was to stop
these ~annoyances that Mrs. ScharH
caused Albert L. Drayton, president OF.
the club, to explain to Justice Potts
not only how it happened, but also.
how he would stop it in the future
The elite of Jersey City crowded the
courtroom yesterday, and listened to
Mr.. Drayton explain that the organi-
cation, through late recruits, had made
some of the most wonderful strokes on
recoru. He added that in a few days a
new course would be arranged, and the
beginners quarantined nine miles from
any sign of civilization. Mrs. Scharh
was willing to compromise, and even
went so far as to express her admira-
ton Of the game when played in IN
other state, and everything was set
tied. but the game is 'shinney,' just
the same,' was the decision given by
Justice Potts, and which caused the
elite to loft their noses and foozle their
glances as they left the putting green
bound for the next tee. New York

Told of a ROYAL Lad.

A writer in London Telegraph tells
the following story about the king of
Spain as throwing light on that royal
lads life: zone day, during his history
lesson, the king asked his professor to
tell him how Spain came to lose Chile,
Mexico and other Spanish-American
colonies. The story was narrated SO
thrillingly and artistically that the
royal boy listened spellbound and con-
tinued after it had ended to sit alb
sorhed in meditation. At last a thought
having struck him, he looked up to his
professor and inquired: What must I
do in order to get back these countries
for Spain?' The first and most i'm
portant thing of ALL replied the eau
tious and diplomatic pedagogue, is
that your majesty should-should-
grow up to be a a When you are a
man'-'H'm!' muttered the lad, disen-
chanted, when I'm a man it is not a
history. professors advice that l shall
be asking. 1 shall have a prime min
lister to tell me them"

Inrenious Expedient.

A local correspondent says that the
other day a friend of his brought him
a chunk of ice which he threw into
his jar. But here vas a difficult prob
lem for him. The quantity Of water
was too great to be sufficiently cooled
by that piece, which was melting as
fast as our. correspondent was himself
doing in tears. At last a highly val
ued friend of his-who had spent the
best portion Of his life in scientific re-
searches on the most original lines
camA to his rescue and, after mature
reflection, was Of opinion that the best
way out Of the difficulty would be to
evaporate the greater portion Of aqua
by heating while the ice would surely
cool the remaining quantity.-Lahore

T T ABOUT PARIS.
The Street Cars and Omnibuses of the
City and the Rates of Fares.

The Street Cars and Omnibuses of the
City and the Rates of Fares.
The means Of passenger transit in
Paris is something that will interest. a
great many people the coming year, in
view of the throngs that will visit the
exposition. 1t is effected by electrl-
city, steam, compressed air and horse
power. There are three tramway lines
serving Paris and the suburbs, and m
nibuses are generally used throughout
the city. One d the aforementioned
tram lines belongs to the Compagnie
Generate des Omnibus, and the other
two are practically controlled by the
same company; so that it can be said
to have a monopoly of the entire pas
senger transit, exclusive OF cabs and
carriages. 1t is a stock company, or
ganized in 1855, having obtained from
the city the exclusive right to transport
passengers from one point to another
in the city of Paris. The concession
expires on the 31st Of May, 1910. The
omnibuses are of two sizes, and drawn
by two or three horses, respectively.
The smaller model is arranged for 70
to 80 places "a outside, IA inside and
two on the clatform). The larger
model affords accommodations for 20
on top and 20 inside, including four on
platform. The fare on the top is Is
centimes (near 3 cents); inside and on
platform, 80 centimes (nearly 6 cents).
The payment of the aforementioned
fare entities the passenger to a cor
respondence" or transfer ticket to an
other connecting or %intersecting line.
No passengers are taken on when the
places are filled, either at a station OF
en- route. At the starting points num-
'bered tickets are handed to the pas
sengers, and when there are more than
enough to fill one conveyance the pre-
cedence is given to those holding the
first numbers. The next omnibus or
car starting begins with the number
last uncalled on the previous vehicle.
The same system prevails at the fixed
stations en- route for vacant places.
No standing in the aisle is allowed. The
statistics for 1896 show the number OF
passengers carried as follows: 80 ines
of omnibuses (26 to 30 places). 5O,03O,-
034; IA lines of omnibuses Gao places),
79, 349, 631; 3 lines Of steam tramways,
1852, 900; % lines Of horse tramways,
81, 1892, 1926; 4 lines of compressed air
and electricity, 10, 7O5,3 $40; total, 240,-
04O,291. The distances traversed by
the divers lines vary from about two
miles to a little over four miles.

Ed Barlow Severely Cutso Grant
Bradford at Tara
Fort Dodge, Iowa, Sept. 8. A bad
stabbing ARRAY occurred at Tara,
where a large gang of colored men are
engaged in the work of construction on
the Fort Dodge & Omaha road. An
alteration was started between Ed
Barlow and Grant Bradford, n of b
negro laborers. Bradford had not had
his breakfast and refused to go to
work until he had had it. The fore
mar insisted that he do so at once, and
in an argument drew a knife on the
colored man and stabbed him severely
in the arm. A warrant has been
sworn out for Barlow's arrest, but he
escaped and has not yet been captured.

GRAIN MEN ANXIOUS.

Exporters I'm Manitoba Alarmed by
the Soaring Rates.
Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 9! The big
advance in lake freight rates and the
scarcity Of vessels are causing grain
exporters here much concern. Vessel
owners are now asking 6 cents per
bushel on wheat from Fort William
to Buffalo, but it is thought the rate
will reach 10 cents before the. close Of
navigation. The possibility Of not
getting much grain to the seaboard Is
apprehended. High rates and the in
adequate car supply put the all-rail
route via Montreal out Of the question
as an alternative.

London, Sept. -. After twenty
four hours Of an apparently acute
crisis, the Transvaal situation has re-
lapsed very much toward the status
of a fortnight ago, and the sands in
the h%our-glass which are marking the
lapse of Secretary Chambcrlain's
eleventh hour are running with dec
orous and judicial slowness.
If the dispatches and editorials APP
pearing lately in the bulk Of the
English newspapers had been really
representative Of the true condition of
affairs, England and the Transvaal
would have been fighting two days
ago. A widespread impression pre-
vailed that the cabinet meeting would
bring an ultimatum and a 1t was
generally believed that Gen. Sir Red
vers Henry Butler would depart Cape
wards and that the whole Of the
troops warned to be in readiness
would be modified forthwith.
Although the cabinet has not Of
icially issued and account of it's pro-
%ceedings, there is no doubt that 1t
acted, and acted unanimously, giving
the Transvaal another opportunity of
satisfying British demands and avoid.
ing war. President Kruger has al
ready stated in the volksraGd that he
would be willing to send a coi:linittee
to a further conference, and, barring
the chance of hostilities precipitated
by some unauthorized act arising from
the extreme state of tension Of mems
minds in South Africa, the result of
the conference must be awaited.
Tn,.Hnn Cont 10 - 1ohsnof has
decided to send 10000 troops to South.
Africa in addition to the national
force already of 5000 men. OF these
reinforcements 5000 will be SEM from
India and 800 from Egypt, a battalion
which will sail Immediately ships are

London, Sept. 12.-It is understood
that Gen. Sir Redvers Butler will start
for Cape Town next Saturday. Mill
tary authorities are chartering steam
ers to transport troops to South Africa
as rapidly as possible. Although the
aspect of affairs is more peaceable. the
special dispatches from Johannesburg
report the greatest anxiety there. Fiji
teen hundred persons left there yes
terday and it is proposed to transfer
the business of the stock exchange to

Gil is appealing to the government to
start relief work to meet the eXcep-
tional distress.

ing to this correspondent the Beers
