Humors Of the Irish Crowd.

a correspondent OF the Liverpool Pos
has gathered together a number o
good stories apropos Of the queens
visit IT, ireland. An old woman selling
oranges contrivcd, as the rcya: prcccs
Sion drew near, to push a little ncarc,
the barrier:
Stand back, you wild the basket,
shouted the policeman.
"h-rali," replied the old body at once
"nlcbbc her majcsty'd like an orange
ci,apc enough, too, an by the token II
give her one all for nothin'."
"Stand back, will yc? Hc- majcst,
doesn't want your oranges. Evcrybod,
knows"-thc policeman fell back en- Iii:
nagination-" everybody knows she
hates oranges"
"Then glory be to God It's the color
OF them she hates; she's a tidy SOW
aiihcr all. | wish | had some-grccr
oranges"
Here arc two stories OF drivers o.
jaunt:ng cars. An English reporter had
Gilvcn from the North Wall to Sackvil!,
street. for which journey the legal fare
is sixpcncc, Unhappily, he asked tic
jarvcy his fare:
Tree shilln', sir" Nonsense, it is
only a milc besides, I know there is an
arrangement in Dublin for a fixed
boundary. Aren't we inside that boun-
dary?' Divil bit, sir, they've althcrcd
the boundary since the queens come,
an it finishes at the ould gate they've
been buildin' in Lccson street." "Hcrc
you arc then, you rascal, but III take
a cheaper man next time" every good,
sir, but there is only one cllapcr car in
Dublin this day, an that's the Lord
Mayors carriage, and that yc can have
for nothin, though It's as much as yer
life is worth to ride in it,"
The second tale runs:
Drive me to hotel, jarvcy." "Wcll,
sir, which dye want?" "Any will do so
long as l can get ROOM" "Then, AK
in yer leave, sir, ye'd bettller go across
an throw stones at pceler." "Why?"
"Yc'd get locked up thin, sir, an it's
the only way to get room in Dublin
this night, sir, heav'n be praised"

An Irish Ballad Writer.

The Rev. James B. Dolard, OF To
ronto, Canada, should have prominent
place i'll any just review oi American
poetry, says writer in Donahoc's for
May. He has no superior as all Irish
ballad writer His vein is entirely Gel
tic, more than making up i'll wit and
sweetness for any shortcoming in power
and finish He is always Irishrather than
American, and even assumed an Irish
pscudonym, Sliav-na- Mon, by which
name he is still known, probably better
than his own. He has more finish, and
almost as much fire as Thomas Davis.
He is always true to his native land,
and no book OF Irish ballads will be
complete without many OF his beautiful
productions.

The little island of Guam, OF which so
much was said by Captain Leary during
the past year, had a population OF only
8661 on January 1, 1900. If it had as
many millions as thousands no more
could have been said of it by the late
governor.

stripped of glory and passed by as un- worthy the flattery Of former enthusi. asts.
 Since Griffith, the hypnotist, gave his series of startling performances in this city few weeks since, many of our small boys, and some of the larger ones, too. have developed the wonder ful power of hypnosis to an alarming degree. and are practicing the art with astonishing success upon the play grounds at school and upon the streets. There is some question in our mind as to the genuineness of this business with regard to many of the subjects. In others. however. there is little room for doubt. It is said that a young man put his companion under the hyp- notic influence few eyeninps since and was unable to release him from the spell. whereupon the youngster went home and made a trough house. .' committing violent and uDcaled-for depredations about the premises. The young man in question went into his mothers dining room and turr ed over the table, and into the kitchen where he turned over the safe, breaking dishes and carrying on at w great rate, seem. ing to be entirely obivious of the demonstrations of his parents. This Hindoo mesmeric practice has been carried on to such an extent that n number of citizens have appealed to the city authorities to put a stop to it | on the streets and meeting of the council was held during the past week Ter the purpose of Investigating the charges made by the complaining citi. | zenS.

THE WOOL TARIFF WORKS WELL
Commissioner of Labor Proves That
Wages Generally Have Been In.
creased-Big Supplies of Steel
- Rails Wanted-Freight Cars
@ Are Wanted.

Washington, Oct. 10. - There has
been awCnderful improvement in wool
en- manufactures during the last few
years, due to the beneficial effects OF
the Dingley tariff law. Our imports
Of wooden manufactures are now less
than one-third the value of those of
1895, while during the last ten years
the exports of wooden manufactures
have more than trebled.
During the eight months ending on
Aug. 81, 1900, the imports of wooden
manufactures amounted to $12,OS4,92S
against ,04 in 1895, and $780,
544.O94 in 1896.
The average annual importations of
wooden manufactures, during the de-
cade from 1890 to 1900, has been $780,
100000, the high water mark having
been reached in 1895, when the total
was $4Q,667, 044. During that and the
succeeding two years the importations
were heavy, averaging nearly $780,
100000 for the eight months period of
each year, but since that time the Inn
portations have constantly decreased.
until in the years 1898, 1899 and 1900
they reached their lowest level, averag-
ing during the eight months of each
year only about $11,00O.000.
On the other hand the exports of
wooden manufactures have slowly but
steadily increased. advancing from
$26S,000 in 1890, $47O,7 25 in 1896. S614,-
CTS in 1896, $144,512 in 1897, and $717,-
$50 in 1898 to $SS6,030 in the eight
months of 1900.

IT HAPPENED IN A DRUG STORE.
"One day last winter a lady came
to my drug store and asked for a
brand of cough medicine that I did
rot have in stock" says MI. G. r.
Grandin, the popular druggist of On

and wanted to know what cough

said to her that l could freely recon-
mend Chamberladn-s Cough Remedy
and that she could take a bottle CT
the remedy and after giving it a fair
trial if she did not find it worth the
money to bring back the bottle and I
world refund the price paid. In the
course of q day or two the lady came
back in company with a friend in need
