Burglars at Bridgeport.

The festive burglar was again abroad
in the land Thursday night, Shortly
after midnight two fellows attempted
to gain entrance to the toll house on the
National pike at West Wheeling. They.
were making efforts to get through a
window when frightened away by toll
keeper George Pasco. From there they
went to the saloon of John o'Neill,
nearby, where they gained access and
after thorough search for valuables
left without securing anything. The
Bridgeport police believe they have q
good clue and are working on 1t.

MORE CANAL COMPLICATIONS.

Some one said recently that the Central
and South American states regard the
United States pretty much as the little
folks of a family regard their big broth
err This may be true when they want as
sistance to resist aggression. but they do
not show any disposition to favor the
United States in any respect. They trade
with European countries and European
governments have more influence with
thom than has that of the United States.
The understanding in Washington is
that Nicaragua will object to the Davis
amendment TO the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
She approves the treaty as it was origin
ally, and so, it is said, do ell the other
Central and South American states, but
they are all against the Davis amendment.
which authorizes the United States to take
steps to protect their interests in connec-
ton with the canalin time of war. Mic
aragua is afraid that the effect of the
amendment would be to authorize the
United States to seize territory along the
route of the canal.
The Davis amendment appears 10 have
stirred up a good deal of feeling among
the Central and South American Repub-
lies Brazil is quoted as saying that she
will never consent to the treaty as amend
ed by Senator Davis, and that she will
insist upon the revival of all of the fea-
lures of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty-thaL
is that she will object to the United
States building and controlling a canal
across Nicaragua. The opposition of the
South American states does not count FOR
much; still, it Is the wiser policy to show
a proper regard for It.

THE COST OF THE WAR.

Senator Beveridge. Congressman eros
venor and other Republican leaders ad-
vocate the retention Of the Philippine Is
lands because of %leir commercial import
ance. They regard the cost of the war as
being somewhat in the nature of an in
vestment, and have given much attention
to calculating the increase of trade which
will come TO the United States as result
of American ownership of the islands.
In opposition to this view Of the matter
Mr.. Henry LOOMS Nelson gives in the
New York World some figures of the cost
of the war and the probab Utilities of trade,
which. II correct would tend to show that
the money Qeaving lives out of the con-
sideration) expended in the wars and on
the islands, will not prove a profitable
investment. From official data Mr. Nelson
finds that the war with Spain and the
war with the Fillpinos, including esti-
mates for the present year, cost nearly
$3.50. 900 900, and that the annual increase
of expenses of the army and the navy will
be 800 600. as compared with the year
1897, which ne says may be taken as
normal year To offset this vast expendi-
ture he estimates that the total trade
which the United States would have with
the several groups of islands, including
Cuba and Porto Rico, and the Orient if
they got all the "expansionists" hope for,
would amount to s27OOOO,OOO gross. On
this the profits would be probably about
10 per cent. making the net value of the
trade of all the islands acquired as a con-
sequence of the war, and the trade we
might get from China, $40 800 600 per an
mum. This sum, according to Mr.. Mel
son, would be less than half of the in
creased cost of the army and navy per
year.
The cost of the war with Spain, as
shown by the records and quoted by Mr..
Nelson, was $3.50, 941, 299. The war with the
Filipinos has already cost $780, 100000, and
the estimated cost for 1900 is $l25, 100000.
According TO the present calculation of
the government" says Mr.. Nelson, there
is TO be a permanent increase in the an
nual cost of our army and navy for many
years to come of s1OO,OOO,OOO. Moreover. the
sum of $500 OO3 1856 has been added to the
public debt"
Whether the Investment will prove
poor one or not, there cannot be any doubt
about war being a costly enterprise,
whether undertaken for humanitys sake,
or for the furtherance of trade

SIX Times and Out.

Sir Walter Besant tells this remarkable
story: Here is a story for the comfort
of total abstainers. 1 believe that have
told this story before but it must be a
long time ago. 1t As the history of a
drunkard. He got drunk only SIX times in
a tolerably long life, yet on each occasion
the results were disastrous, even ruinous.
The misfortune was that at every one of
what we call the supreme moments of
his life-there are only half a dozen such
in seventy yeans-this unhappy person was
constrained to allay the excitement of his
brain with the juice of his grape. or the
gift of John Barleycorn, or with the vint-
age of the still. The first time was at
school
He was captain, he was expecting to be
nominated to a scholarship, ne was greatly
excited at the prospect, he took cham
payne, and while in the condition conse-
quent he met the head master. He there
fore went up to the university without a
scholarship. Still he was a good scholar,
and was perfectly certain of first class.
On the night before the examination he
was excited and anxious. Unfortunately
he endeaVored to calm his nerves with
whisky; more unfortunately, he miscal-
culated the dose. The consequence In the
morning was a head-oh. such a head!
So he got only a third. with the reputa-
ton of one who would have been a first
If he had not got drunk This is not a de-
sirable reputation. However, he went to
London and became a journalist.
For long time he remained sober
and steady, yet with that evil repute cling
ing TO his name. Then came a time when
an editor was wanted for an important
paper He knew that he was named
among others; he learned that he was one
of the first in the running; he became
greatly excited over it. The rest you can
guess. In the morning, being a wreck, he
was received by the proprietors, and lost
his chance. He seems to have lived down
this misfortune, for he found young and
desirable person who accepted him as
her hance. on the eve of the happy day
being nervous, he once more administered
an overdose of the fatal anodyne. He was
discovered by the BRIDES papa in a condi-
ton which admitted of no doubt They
sent her he told me with a sigh. to the
Grand Canary to restore her spirits. There
she married maker of glue in a large
way. No one sent me anywhere except to
Coventry
The fifth case was when he had to give
evidence in a lawsuit affecting his own
interests. The evening before-but the
tale becomes monotinous. In the morning
he mounted the witness box and made an
object of himself. The last occasion was
on his sixtieth birthday. He drowned his
sorrows at the club; walked home in a
cold rain, took to his bed and succumbed
TO pneumonia"

Mrs. siddons Got Her Beer.

Mrs. Siddons one hot evening was play
ing in Macbeth" and was tempted by
torturing thirst TO avail herself of the
only relief TO be obtained al the moment
some beer from a neighboring tavern
says the London Telegraph. Her dresser,
therefore, dispatched a boy in great haste
to fetch a pint of beer for Mrs. Sid
dons." On the boys return with the
frothy pitcher he looked about for the
woman who had sent him on his Grand
and not seeing her, inquired: Where is
Mrs. Siddons?" The scene shifter whom
he questioned pointed his finger to the
stage where she was performing the
sleeping scene of Lady Macbeth, replied
There she is" To the horror of the per-
formers the boy promptly walked onto
the stage close to Mrs. Sddons, and with
total Inconsistencies of any impropri-
ETY., gave the beer to her. She waved the
boy away in her grand manner several
times without effect. At last the people
behind the scene by reckoning and stamp
ing succeeded in getting him off with the
beer, while the audience roared with
laughter.
