That drug firm which mas brought suit
against several others for injuring Its
business reminds one of the story of the
deaf man who went to a drug store to
have a prescription filed, says the Louis
vile Times. As the pharmacist rolled up
the vial he said: "Seyenty-five cents,
sir"
The customer laid nickel on the coun-
ter
''seventy-fve cents, if you please" re-
peated the druggist.
well. there's your cents" remarked
the customer.
But l said 70 cents cents" howled the
druggist
And haven't 1 paid you your cents?'
insisted the other man, irritably, as ne
picked up his parcel.
"Oh, so long, you old IDIOT" muttered
the pharmacist as the man went out.
well, I've made cents profit anyway
and he slammed the cash drawer.

AsIT LOOKS TO OUTSIDERS

There does not appear 10 be much COM
ment on the bill introduced into Congress
the other day by Representative McClel-
Ian of New York, providing that the gov
eminent shall make a ship canal out of
the Erie canal. Just how much money it
would take to do what the city of New
York wants done in this matter no one
appears 10 know, but it is estimated that
it would cost considerably more than it
would TO construct the projected Nica-
ragua canal.
New York is getting mighty uneasy
over the loss of some of her export grain
trade, and she is afraid that Boston, Mon
treat, Baltimore, Norfolk and New Or
leans, which have taken so much Of it,
are going TO take about all of IT, Her
scheme appears to be to have the prod
ucts of the West pass out of her harbor
even if she does not collect much toll
on them.
Some time ago some Of her leading bust
ness men decided that the only way to
prevent the grain of the West from going
TO foreign markets through other ports
was to make a ship canal of the Erie
canal, so that ocean going ships could
load grain at the whsrves of Western
cities. An estimate of the cost of such a
canal was secured, the idea being that the
state should bear the expense of enlarg-
ing the canal. They were simply stunned
hen they received the report Of the en-
gineers. Ii showed that to change the Erie
canal into ship canal would cost at least
S2OO, 10000.

From the Baltimore American.
When the Boer is on the kopje. and the
laager's in the mex,
Then we hear the hurried footsteps of the
British as they trek;
Then we read of valiant charges and of
"sallies from the kloof,"
And the expert war reporters write Of
BATTLES stern reproof"
Oh. the cables full Nof messages about the
rush and wreck
When the Boer is on the kopje and the
laager's in the mex.
First there comes a thrilling message
that the Beers are put to rout
Then a second message tells us that the
battle is in doubt
Next, a third one rather backwardly says.
Glorious retreat"
And the last one breaks 1t gently thus
Another proud defeat"
And across Tugela river go the British
on the trek,
While the Boer is on the kopje and the
laager's in the mex.
When the husky Boer has rested in the
veldt or on the sproot,
He will mark the Psalm he's reading, and
begin again to shoot.
He's a rapid-firing puzzle when he hides
upon the krantz,
And the enemy begins to think quite
soon its name is Pants"
But the trap is set for trouble and ex.
element by the peck

sMaj. Carson, the Washington CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, says
that the recall of Gen. Otis from Manila
has been determined upon by the admin
istration, because of the Generals lack
of vigor and efficiency. There is said 10
be virtually state of Generalization in
the American army, for which Gen. Otis
is held responsible. The criticisms of him
which have appeared in the press from
the CORRESPONDENTS in the Philippines are
now known to be well based. American
officers are discouraged at the way things
are being conducted, and are eager for
a change. Gen. Otis, it is said. tried to
do too much himself with the result that
many. things went undone

1t seems that the influence of the Prince
of Wales Is quite as potent upon New
York society as it is upon the society Of
London According TO stories current in
the New York papers, the Prince recently
said must" 10 New York society, in the
matter of aiding Mrs. Langtry's benefit for
the hospital ship Maine. and New York
society meekly acquesced. Mrs. Langtry,
il seems, wanted some of the grand DANES
of New York to act as patronesses for her
entertainment. Mrs Aston was first APP
piled tc, as the leader of the -Four Hun
dred. She refused. Somebody remember
ed that Mrs. Astor has a daughter in
London, Mrs. Haig wife of a whisky maxi
er, formerly Mrs. j. Coleman Drayton of
whom all newspaper readers have heard.
1t is the desire of Mrs. Haig formerly
Drayton, nee Aston, to get into London
society. The Prince of Wales was inform
ed of Mrs. Astor's refusal to aid Mrs.
LanStry, and he caused it to become
known that unless Mrs. Aston recanted
and ber anne Mrs. Langtry's patroness the
doors of Lordon society would remain per-
petuallS closed to Mrs. Haig, formerly
Drayton. This was sufficient to change
the aspect of things. The Langtry func-
ton will occur this week, and Mrs. Aston 5

An odd suit for damages has been filed
by a Baltimore woman against the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. Late one
night a messenger delivered a telegram at
the home of the plaintiff. 1t was mark
ed collect and the messenger declined
to give it up until the charges had been
paid. Not having the change in the house,
the woman was obliged to go out to
neighbours house and borrow the money.
The night was cold and damp and from
the exposure a severe cold was contracted
which developed into chronic bronchitis
The plaintiff alleges that the telegram
had really been sent prepaid; that it was
the fault of the company that she was
obliged to go out in the night, when she
caught cold, therefore the company is re-
sponsible for her chronic bronchitis, and
ought to be made to pay her damages.

ment shall bear the expense of building
the canal. Representative McClellan's Din
aprropriates 100000 for beginning the
work and authorizes contracts to the
amount of S75.003O00 for continuing it,
This sum of $S5,O000oO would only make
a fair beginning. The probabilities are
that 1t would cost a great deal more than
$2co0OO,o00 to make out of the Erie canal
water way that would accommodate
ocean going ships.
The ground on which the government
is expected to undertake this immense
work is that the welfare of the country
requires that a waterway that will ac-
colnmodate the ships of the navy shall be
opened from the sea to the great lakes
New York newspapers have always been
opposed to the river and harbor bill. They
are now estopped from saying anything
against that bill As it looks to outsiders,
there never was such a scheme for get

fit OF a port of this country as this bill

has risen alarmingly at all the Rhenish
towns, while the Rhenish- Westphalian
coal syndicate has announced a further
increase. In Italy the dearth is so marked
that several of the Lombard factories
have been obliged to stop work. and in
Milan. Genoa, Naples and in Rome itself
appeals have been made to the Italian
government to take some measure to-
wards securing a more adequate and reg
