JACK TAR'S GR0Wl.

The author of From Edinburgh to
the Antarctic" writing of the sailors
habit of grumbling, says: THE dinners
are all the same-that is to say, Mon
days dinners are all alike, and what we
have today we shall have this day six
months hence. Jacks forefather this
day 100 years ago had the same menu,
and made the same uncomplimentary
remarks about the dishes, and 100
years hence on this day Jacks children
will growl over the salt horse and
plumless duff" The author also tells
this yarn" to illustrate that Jacks
habit of grumbling can't be cured and
must be endured:
Once upon a time there lived a skip
per whose wife said to him that if she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus-
band took ner with him on voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
The scouse was thick with fresh veg
out weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half pluns, but
still the men growled.
Then the shippers wife thought Of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast.
She took them out Of the coop, wrung
their necks with her own fair hands,
plucked them and roasted them and
sent them to the forecastle on the cab
in china.
Now the men, she said to herself,
will know how much we think Of their
comfort"
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle to listen to the praise of
her skill as a cook. She looked down
the hatch and saw a big black fist
plunge fork into the hen and heard a
hoarse voice growl, II say, Bill, what
dye think this ere bloody fowl died

CAN'T BE SUPPRESSED.

You can't squelch a bow" said Gov
ernor Stone. IT have had some rich
experiences with them. At the begin
ming Of my campaign against War
ner, in 1892, the Kansas Star publish
ed the canard that had not paid my
road tax, and the report gained some
credence among the Republicans OF
south Missouri. A short time after
ward I spoke during the night at Jop-
lin. There were torches galore, ham-
beau clubs and bands, and was rldlns
with local notables in a fine carriage
drawn by four horses at the head OF
the procession. In passing close 10
high building I noticed between me ana
the brick wall a ragged and dirty faceo
boy. He carried smoking torch In
his hand and was running beside the
carriage looking up in my face with
look evidently intended to wither. When
I looked, he gave rousing hurrah 1or
Warner, and when bowed to him ne
ve,led with admirable sarcasm, While
still running:
".You'd better go home old hoss, and
nav YOUR taxes instead Of ridin' around
here in four hoss carriages. Ihese
streets are all paid for He was read
ing me a lesson in citizenship. It's
way boys have.
"Warner relates a similar experience
to me. He was speaking at a picnic IN
South Missouri. He was provoked sew
eral times by an urchin perched IN a
small tree near by who persisted III

ner possible: What's the matter WIFI
Stone? He's all right
warner conceived what he thought
a happy idea Of making a point on MS
tormenter, and, turning to the boy in
the tree, he said:
"sFellow citizens, I don't know, but
I will venture the assertion that that
bov's daddy is a Democrat-an ideal
Missouri Democrat-who sits on rail
fence, chews tobacco, spits and whit
ties while his crops make themselves,
who is dead against everything new
and lets his wife do the work.
He thought his remarks would set
tie the matter; but to his dismay, the
boy in the tree yelled back:
you've got the old man sized up
about right, cap; but he's Repub-
lican., But mas all right. She's a
Democrat, and she's raisin' me- The
major wilted, and the crowd laughed,
while the boy yelled again, What's the
matter with Stone? He's all right! y

USE FOR THE PHILIPPINES.

One Of the greatest humorists in Mis-
souri, is Major Henry A. Newman, of
Huntsville. He was a brave Confeder-
ate soldier and a rough and ready ora
tor of great power. In his speeches
during the recent campaign he eschew
ed "the paramount issue" Of imperial
ism. Whether he did so because
he was not posted on that topic or
whether because he took no stock in it
this deponent saith not. However that
may be, his failure to discuss impe-
rialism gave him the opportunity to
make the wittiest retort that I either
heard or heard of during the recent
campaign. The major made speech
at Poplar Bluff. had magnificent au-
dience and was in fine fettle. He dis.
cussed finance and trusts with great
eclat, larruped the Republicans in
great shape and was coming down on
the home stretch in an easy canter
when his serenity was disturbed by a
voice inquiring, How about the Philip
payins?" The brogue with which the
question was put left no doubt as to
the nativity of the gentlemen seeking
information.
The major paid no attention to his
interrogation, but proceeded with his
speech.
How about the Philippayins?" came
again with an emphasis indicating
that the gentleman was not to be ig-
nored. The majors sense Of humor
came to his relief With nerfect
imitation Of the brogue he replied:
My friend, will tell you about the
Phiippayins. I'll tell you confidential
ly what I'm in favor of doing with the
Philippayins. I'd trade the Philippay-
ins to Great Britain for Ireland, and
then we could raise our own police
men!" which was received with a roar
Of laughter from the palpitating
throng.-Champ Clark.

MISS sCHARN.

New York. Aug. 22.--The principal devel-
opment in the Scharn murder case up to
the present is the increase OF suspicion
on the part of the police that Frederick
scharn. the eighteen-year-old brother of
the dead girl, has guilty knowledge Of
the crime.
His alibi from o'clock in the afternoon
of the day of the murder to almost mid
night of the same Is not perfect, for he
fails to account for half an. hour Of the
time. AS to some other parts of his story
the police have proved him a liar and he
certainly lied to,them yesterday. fast and
furiousy. but II must be remembered that
his counsel advised him to give no infor-
nation to the police.
PAwNED A WATCH.
II was discovered by the police that he
had pawned a woman's watch; but this.
taken by itself. had no direct bearing on
the commission of the crime, because
the watch was pawned on Aug. 1. Indi-
rectly the act showed that Scharn had
recently needed money.
IL the police made any progress along
other lines of investigation they have not
disclosed II. Tho man who was with the
murdered girl In the Third avenue dry
goods store when she was out shopping
on Saturday afternoon has not been ap-
pretended. The police do not know who
he Is, they say now, and they are no
nearer catching him than they were on
Monday. ti-

sent TO the East Thirty-ffth street police
station yesterday two rings which his
men had found I'm n Bowery pawnshop.
They had been pawned on Monday
morning by young man answering gen.
orally to Scharn's description. Scharn,
however. was under arrest at that time.
The rings were like those stolen from
the Scharn girl and they were shown To
both Eisonprice and Scharn. Eisenprice
said he did not think that they were the
stolen rings. Scharn refused TO say
whether they wcr or not. This was due
to Emanuel Friend. his lawyer. Friend.
who was at the police station little la,
ter. saw Scharn and then told the report
ers that the rings were not the property
OF the dead girl.
POLICE ARE CONVINCED
The police are convinced of this. al
though for a time they were loath 10 give
up that clue. because had they been the
Scharn girls they could have come near a
solution OF the murder by catching the
man who pawned them.
Shortly after this G. Bruckheimer,
pawnbroker Of 1898 Third avenue, was
brought 10 the station by detective
Scharn was brought out and lined up
