Trading With a Corpse.

The boss Of the lumber camp reflled
his pipe and lighted it,
"Yes," said he, 81 drew the line on
that.
Owe had a man die in camp this
winter. He lived Just over the boUn-
dairy. Nice feller he was, too-thrllty
and ali that. Every one liked him.
Sorry to have him go. But after he
Was gone We did the best we knew
how. Fixed the body up and sent two
of the men out with it.
"He had bought new pair Of boots
at the wongan camp two weeks before
he died, and we thought it would be
only right to put those boots on. SO
we did. The men started away and
came back in three days. One Of the
men was wearin them new boots.
The other feller gave 1t away. Said
that just before they got to the house
with the deceased the oritter pulled
them boots off the corpse and swapped.
Other feller didn't like it, aud said 10.
But the critter allowed that he had
had some talk with the corpse about
swappin few days before he died.
Corpse had allowed that the new boots
hurt his corns and said that a pair
that had been broken in would 10
better. Crtter said that he couldn't
bear to think of deceased bein buried
in pair Of boots that hurt his feet.
He said that he should wake up IN
the night, certain, and think about the
thing
WAL, course, there was somethln'
in what he said, but as there warnt
no way of gettin at the decea'ed's
side Of the matter, ! concluded that |
wouldn't let that trade stand. There's
a good many things that go in this
camp all right, but dickerin' with
dead men amt one of EN-. ] draw
the line right there, and draw il sharp.
| made that feller send them boots
back. The deceased has still got the
critters old ones. The feller bad TO
go to the wongan and get some new
ones. And that's 70 much more Tor
the company and commission for me.
'Twarnt bad all round. When the
feller got to jawin abort the thing |
told him be could still have the COM
fort Of KNOWN that the deceased
wasn't wearin' tight boots"

No Safe Place on Earth.

Much surprise has been expressed
that the people of Galveston intend to
rebuild their city, in the face Of the
great disaster that is liable to be re-
peated at any time. But science and
history do not call the people Of Gal
weston foolish. These great guides
say it is dangerous to live anywhere
on this earth, and give facts and fg-
ures to prove it From pole to pole
danger abounds, and frishttul catas-
trophies are liable to overtake human
ity at any spot on the globe.
An example of this state Of affairs
is the city of Quito, Ecuador, where
there is an earthquake shock every
day. Many cities are fully as much
exposed to wind and wave as Calves
ton. In addition to coast cities, towns
in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys
are built below water level and are
liable to destruction by treshets, as
the disaster at Shawneetown recently
proved. Others court the fate OF
Johnstown with big reservoirs on high
nlaces where a broken wall would
send millions of gallons Of water over
hundreds of houses. Austin, Texas,
recently proved the reality Of this
danger, and Cincinnati has a death
trap for many of its residents in It's
huge reservoir on the eastern. hills,
under the shelter Of which many
houses stand. New Orleans lies low
behind her levees, that are liable to
break in any food.
But to come to specific instances,
the earthquake at Lisbon, November
l, 1855, Is one of the most terrible.
Part of the city sunk GOO feet. The
sea was driven back for a moment and
returned in a wave 80 feet high. Six
ty thousand perished in six minutes
yet Lisbon fourishes in the same
spot.
No century in history has been
without severe earthquakes in South
ern Italy.
In 1888, 100000 were killed in Ca
Iabria by an earthquake, but that is
forgotten. The Mediterranean has
been the center of many destructive
shocks. On the day of the battle of
Actura, 81, B. c., 10000 perished by
shock in Judea.
On various occasions about 100000
have perished in earthquake shocks
at Antioch-25O,OOO in one day.
But in spite of these terrors men
never study nature, and so do not
know these things. Others read of
them in their schoolbooks, and forget
them along with their Latin and my
thology. Only the professional scien-
lists keep them ever in mind, aud
these are not alarmed, for they know
there is really no safe place on earth
anyhow.

ROW ON THE DIAMOND.
Come Into Collision
With Berlin Team.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
OCEAN CITY, Md, July IS, 1900.
What threatened to be a riot between
some Marylanders and a bunch of District
boys occurred today at Berlin, small town
about three miles from Ocean City. A
match game of base ball was scheduled,
and train was chartered to bring 300
Washingtonians over to the town to wit
ness the event The chartered train left
Ocean City at 2:05 pm, and arrived at
Berlin at 2:3O. The game was called soon
after. Much interest was displayed by the
enthused Washington people, and long be-
fore the game was started and the ball
tossed, ii was an assured fact that there
would be trouble. The pretty society girls
of The beach Were guying the Berliners ito
beat the band,' which greatly aggravated
and tormented the farmer boys.
The game started but before the first hit
was made the real battle royal was begun.
The players who represented Washington
were Frank Benjamin, Thomas A Green,
Ralph Jones, Harry Beard Bernard WEIGH,
William Schaw and Ernest Slayer. After
the disturbance began two of the Wash
ington boys were arrested but the consta-
bic and the police officer We're soon over
powered by the friends of those arrested,
and were compelled to retreat to a place
of safety The women who went along with
the boys soon changed the roofing cry to
real, bona fide tears; some tainted, others
screamed, and those who had the proper
nerve participated in the stone and shell
battle. Many of the boys received cuts and
bruises, but none were seriously hurt
The persuasion and the entreaty of the
ladies caused the railroad people to run
special train back to the seaside, Just three
hours ahead of the schedule time.
Much excitement exists. especially at the
Colonial, Plimhimmon and Atlantic Hotels,
where the young ladies are staying. But
the joke of the affair is that the chaperon,
prominent Washington society lady, was
left in a drug store after a fainting spell,
and came out just as the swift locomotive
went flying past.
The authorities of Berlin telegraphed to
the authorities of Ocean City to hold the
two young men who were under arrest but
the Ocean City mayor telephoned back his
refusal. 1t Is believed the trouble will be
renewed should the late combatants again
come together

CANNED MEAT PRICES.
Advance Attributed to Demand for
Army Use.
The Chicago Record says:
Prices on corne6 and roasf haef

Inc chicago RECORD saws:
Prices on corned and roast beef have adj
vanced from s1.25 to $50 per dozen for
one-poun6 cans. This is the largest advance
ever made by Chicago and western packers
at one jump.
The cause of the advance is the large de-
mand for these goods by the United States
government and foreign powers When
war was declared between the United
States and Spain in April, 1898, the packers
and their agents throughout the world had
2,UoO,OOO pounds of canned roast and corn
ed beef stored. This was disposed Of ana
the packers began to replenish their stocks
a their various warehouses
Before this was completed the British
Boer war drew heavily upon the meats
store England could not get her regular
supply from Australia owing to the drought
which had killed off many cattle. Then
before they had time to stock IN again
the Boxer trouble brought heavy demands
from Japan and China. Besides this the
packers have been compelled to supply
Cape Nome and the Klondike with about
2oO,OO pounds of roast and corned beef.
This exhausted the stock, and with the
heavy demand at present, which they can
not fill, except they get the live cattle
and kill them, forced them TO advance the
prices SO they could protect themselves for
future deliveries.
Besides the orders for canned meats the
packers state they have large orders for
bacon, sausage, short clears, short ribs and
all side meats, amounting in all to several
million pounds
A great deal of this stuff especially the
bacon, is for use of the United States gov
eminent, large quantities to go TO Manila
and much to the marines now in China
One of the big packers, in speaking about
the advance, said:
IF the demand for corned and roast beef
increases during the next two weeks as It
has in the last two weeks you will see
corned and roast beef selling at 81 per
dozen one-pound cans. Why, every packer
in Chicago is working his plant to its
fullest capacity, and even then cannot be-
gin to meet the demand"
