ROW IN BARROOM LEADS TO
ARREST OF TWO PERSONS.

There was lively row I'm the Saloon
conducted by the Eagle Brewing COM
pany. at the corner OF Fountain ana
Clemence streets, late yesterday after~
noon. aud one William Burke was put
out OF the place because he was too
noisy, II is said. He returned, how
ever and was again elected, and again
returned, when, he claims, the bar
tender used a club. Burke resented this
treatment, and being unable to thrash
the bartender he made violent as
sault on the window of the saloon with
his fists, smashing two large panes OF
glass and some OF the smaller ones.
Burke then ran through Union street.
but was soon captured by Patrolman
Blake and was sent TO the Central po-
Hce station. His hands were badly cut
by the broken glass. and a doctor was
called TO dress his wounds.
Burke was arraigned in the sixth
district court today. for defacing a
building belonging to John Coyle, To
the extent of IS. Owing TO extenuating
circumstances Burke was fined but 20
and costs.
Ten minutes later Michael Lenahan.
the bartender, was under arrest, upon
a warrant charging him with making
an assault with a club upon Burke.
Chief. Baker informed the court that
the use OF the club was wholly un-
necessary. Lenahan was cut with "a
knife on his arm, about a week ago.
while exercising his functions as a

pay $1,000 fsr a half interest in Gill
lands business, and was TO give his
entire time to the business. Gilland re-
tanned the right 10 buy back the half
interest in the business. A bill OF sale
was executed in which Gilland trans
ferred one~half OF the office furniture.
The sum of $500 was paid down in ac-
cordance with the agreement. The rea-
son the other $500 was not paid was,
Jenckes said. he would work five weeks
without remuneration if not required to
pay the rest of the money.
INTO NEW QUARTERS.
The day after the agreement, the
10Th OF September, the new concern
moved into the Banigan building. Gill
land claimed he paid the expenses Of
the moving. Nothing further was said
about the other $500. and when the Of
flee i'm the Banigan building had been
occupied two days and a. half Jenckes,
without any warning, attached wit
ness bank account and his real es-
tate. The first intimation of trouble

lowed him to the elevator i'm the Bani-
gan building and said II want you TO
go over and see Mr.. Curtis Witness
wanted to know why he should see

According 20 wckness GillarA also
said he had real estate i'm charge

A Study of Bermuda Grass

From the Washington Post.
 q am glad to see that the Agricultural Department is making some effort to as- sist the Southern farmers in their work of rejuvenating the worn-out cotton fields of the South" said MT. William King, of Knoxville, Tenn, at the Shoreham last night, but when they talk about Ber- muda grass to those people they will stir up a hornets nest.
 "A story of Bermuda grass is told on St. Simon's island. General Cooper's son had planted very fine olive grove, which 1 think is still standing. The general planted Bermuda grass, but the young man. unable to raise his olives and Ber- muda grass on the same plantation, or dered the negroes to take the grass out One day, on going through the grove, he found the Bermuda still thriving in spots, and calling an old negro to him, he said:
 John, if you don't take that grass out I'll whip you sure as you live.'
 The old negro, old enough to be the young mans grandfather, walked off to the fence, grumbing. Mounting to the top rail, he sat there and talked to himself.
 'Yaas dar you go,' he said, 'dar you go. OF Marse Williams. he come, and, sage he, You, John, eff you don't plant dat grass right, I'll sho' whip you
 Now, heah comes young Marse Will Hams, and, sage ke, You, John, eff you don't git out dat grass right, I'll sho' whip you good" Hits haad on de nggah, but I reckon I'll git dat grass outen dem fields, eff de good Lawd helps.'
 That's about the situation. In the low lands, as a permanent crop, it. Is all right; ]; but once In you can never get it out, and in the high lands it is a nuisance"

M. Deroulede, Human Paradox

From the Philadelphia Post.
 Paul Deroulede, the French politician, Is a mass of apparent contradictions. He is an agnostic who contributes generously to the church charities, republican who de- sires to overthrow the republic, a peace ad- yocate who favors riot and instruction, a free trader who upholds prohibitory tariff. and democrat who eve maids the Royalist party of France. His contrariety is well il- frustrated by recent story. He was dis cussing the Boer war with number of friends, and after fierce diatribe against England said very earnestly:
 "I pray that the British will be unmerci- fully beaten"
 "Why I thought you disliked the Dutch," interrupted friend.
 "Dislike them I pray that they will be exterminated," he declared with genuine fervor.

Plenty Left for a Sandwich

From the London Tid Bits.
 A certain lawyer who was candidate for municipal office went out canvassing one day and knocked at a cottage door. The door was opened by woman.
 "Is your husband in, Mrs. -" in quired the lawyer.
 "No, sir'' was the reply, 'but I know what you want. My husband is sure to vote for you, because you got him off for stealing that ham last week.
 NO, no; alleged stealing of the ham," corrected the lawyer.
 Alleged by blowed," was the woman's smiling reply. We've got a bit of 1t left still Lemme give you a sandwich out of it, sr.'
