lar customers do not hesitate to call 10 him.
 ''Nr. Brown,' one Of them will say. I've been a-waitin' ere six hours, l haye!"
 The eccentric paces up and down his cabin. Sometimes, instead of giving up gold. he comes out and belts the 'cadgers'' with big Jumps of coal. When he does that the experienced boatmen know there's ''nothin' doin',' and row their customers back to the pier.
 Brown is stout. heavily framed man, with round black beard and black hair. His hands are thrust into the pockets of reefer jacket, and on his face is an amused, ontemptuous smile. He studies the faces of the beg gars in the boats through big pair of marine glasses. There is in town a legend about Brown, and it runs some thing like this:
 Brown has been here longer than I have" he says, land that's Il years. Know him? l should think I do. Haven't I been aboard his yacht and hasn't he said he'll write to mel?
 ''We all know Brown. Look at the doctor there, him a-driving down the street in his dogcart. Didn't Brown ! say to him a few weeks ago: You're going away for your holidays; here's
 z 5oo.' Why. there are people here that live On Brown, folks who go regularly every week and lie alongside his yacht in boat until he gives them some 1 thing.
 | SThey do say that he's got an income of z a175,oo0 year from American oil l well, and it's growing bigger every year, and that he egets g 2,O00 a month
 in cash from his agents. Did I get any. l thing? Not I; but can show you lots | of people who have.'

 5 TINGUlSHED UNCLE

TACKBAY had lived in Chicago ever since he was five years old, but for some time he did not seem to get thoroughly assimilated. He never boasted of the city's growth and never expatiated on it's liveliness, it's wick edness or it's wealth. He had no pride in it's tall buildings, in the stock yards or the drainage canal, and he had been known to speak in dlspar- aging terms of the worlds fair. All the enthusiasm within him was re- served for New Bedford first and Mas sachusetts afterward. He was porn in New Bedford. and his father and his fathers father before him had been born there. His infant eyes had opened upon the prospect of the gray Atlantic, and his small, bare hand had padded in the limpid waters of Bug zard's bay; so that you could not talk to him about Lake Michigan. He had inhaled the off-&horc New Bedford breezes, laden with the pungent odors of the soap and candle factories and the whale oil refiner;es-so that he he'd the stoclyards in contempt. He had memories of the old city hall: which dwarftcd the Masonic temple. and the whiffs of Boston atmosphere borne on the wings of the north wind had broadened his as and apparently narrowed his views of everything out side of the O,d Bay state. He only went back once, EeTerthe- less, but if the visit modified his rec ollections of his early home and the town hall he never acknowledged it. It aDpears that he hunted up most of his relations and visited around" among them. returning with the fam fly tree ramifying through his system and out of his fingers ends.

DIAMONDS MINISTRIES.

Many fiattering encomiums come to us of the Diamond Brothers Big white double miuStrelS which will be seen to- morrow evening at Polls. One en- thusiastic critic says there are no dull moments in the entire performance. IT is scintillaJing and catchy from begin ming to the end and entirely free from the objectionable features of so many black face combinations. The first part is dressed i'll rich costumes and the stage settings are elaborate. The band and orchestra carried by this at traction is positively one of the largest and finest in the road. While the en- tire performance is of decided merit special mention should be made of Francis Boyle's magnificent exhibit of club swinging: Sam Horner and Lew Diamonds sensational knock about act; Weaver and Donna. female inper- senators; the Diamond quintette and the sensational horizontal bar perform CTS.

STEEL PLATE TRUST.
Fourteen of the Largest Establish
 ments to Form Pool.

i CLEVELAND, Dec. 1S.-Negotiations are on foot and are declared to be ceT- nain of successful conclusion for the formation of pool by k Of the largest steel plate manufacturing establishments in the United States. Among the con cerns included are named the Carnegie Steel company, the Illinois Steel con- pany, the Federal Steel company, the Lenkens Steel company, the National Steel company and the American Steel and Wire company.
 It is said that the Carnegie company heads the list with 10 per cent of the to- fal business of all the mills. The meet ings for the formation of the pool have been held within the last two weeks in Chicago and Pittsburg. The pool is ar ranged on the percentage basis, and the country is divided into territories to be exclusively supplied with steel plates by the various members of the pool. The price agreed upon at the last meeting in Chicago was BPS per ton at Pittsburg, with conditions elsewhere equivalent to freight charges. The decision also was reached to do away with commission agents.
 The pool affects the domestic market alone, all the concerns being on an equal footing so far as the foreign market is irau corppd

YACHT NEVER SAILS.
It Is the English Home of an Amer
 ican Millionaire.
Eccentric Character Who Supports n Number of Lazy People in IdIeness -Queer Stories Told by an
 old Boatmco.

Bayard Brown is an American, man of millions and eccentric to degree. For many years past he has been residing in England, and for 12 years past has made his home on board a luxurious yacht that lies moored in the tideway off Brightingsea, in the mouth of the Colue river. On beard the yacht regular watches are kepa by full crew of 21 men. There are captain and mates, 4 B's, ordinary seamen, two fremen, a cook and a steward. The donkey engine provides power for the electric light. Tie seamen amuse themselves as best they can, and the captain is in the coal trade, using hulk which lies moored a couple of hundred yards away.
 The yachts sails are furled, her com pass and engine-room telegraph GOV cred in canvas. Year after year she has lain thus. always in perfect order. ready to up anchor and away and never moving. Her engines are regularly overhauled, her hull is scraped and cleaned by divers. her brasswork is polished and paint renewed-but she has never moved since the day Bayard Brown brought her here.
 Brown cannot use up his money fast enough on his yacht; he gives it away, capriciously, apparently without rhyme or reason. The boatmen make | a good living out of Brown-not by his gifts altogether, but by taking beg gars cut to try their luck with him. Everyone in town knows Brown. Usually there are 8 dozen boats hanging around near the yacht. The boatmen lie on their oars; their patrons | cagerly eye the long deck cabin where Brown lounges. At any moment he
 may come out and beckon to one of tine waiting ones. Perhaps the visito is woman. She will step on board in | her worn black gown, pull q long face, tell her tale of woe and return with heavy roll of god.

 and won't come out. Then his ''regu-
