TELLTALE CHAIRS.
Their significance in Accordance
with Their Relative Positions.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Chairs are great pantomime perform
ers, said one of group in the hotel lob
by, the conversation having drifted to
nothing in particular. II mean" he ex-
planned, that they have wonderful pow
ers of expression. Look at those two,
facing each other in the corner! The one
nearest US, II you will notice, stands per-
fectly straight and stiff. while the other Is
twisted around a trife to the right, and
we know by that token as plainly as II
we had witnessed it, that they were lately
occupied by a bore and his victim.
THE bore squared himself in front of
the poor fellow and proceeded TO tell the
story of his life. The victim writhed and
sduirmed, and when he finally escaped the
record of his travail was written legibly
IN the furniture. Now, that pair of chairs
by the desk tell quite different tale,
and one could almost say that they were
eEga ged in pleasant conversation at this
very moment. Observe the confidential
angle of the armsl have often encoun-
tered chairs arranged like that, only
more so, On the piazzas of summer hotels,
early IN the morning after moonlight
night. They fairly reeked with the ro-
nance! It would be impossible, by the
deliberately. You couldn't do It to save
your neck The effect depends upon very
subtle combination of lines impaired I'M
consciously by the occupants.
Did you ever go into a room where
poker party had been playing a stiff game
all night and notice the way the chairs
stood about the tables? In nine cases OUT
of ten they tell the story of the windup
as clearly as II could be done by types.
Several years ago I was at hotel in a
little town on the Texas and Pacific when
a fellow was shot In a quarrel in one Of
the rooms on the second floor. He had
been In party of three who were playing
cards, and when ] went up to look at
the scene of the tragedy, very shortly
afterwapd, I was struck at once by the
arrangement of the chairs. One Rugged
the able, and had evidently been occu-
pied by the chap who looked on. The
other was thrust back several feet, at an
abrupt angle, as If whoever sat there had
risen suddenly, and the third was over
turned in pool of blood. One could not
have asked for a better record of what
had hapnaned -

day Mr.. Steinacker called them before him
and asked each one whether he intended
to return this morning. The answer was
unanimously in the negative. He then told
them that before they left he wanted
them TO understand one thing distinctly,
and that was If they failed to show up
this morning they need not in the future
apply to him for work.
To several in the presence Of a repre-
sentative of the Morning News he put the
question as to why they left. Because we
have been ordered out by the unions, was
the response. He also called a number
and asked If they were dissatisfied with
his treatment, or the amount of the wages
that he had been paying, and in each case
the man acknowledged that he had no
fault to find with either. Then why co
you leave?' he asked. One mans reply
was the answer for the lot, said he, "the
others have kicked and we've got to kick
with them"
Mr.. Steinacker says that he will not be
in the least embarrassed by the action OF
these men, as he has as many as he can
use who will come to work this morning
Other contractors feel the same way about
the outlook, and gather further consola-
ton that business is so slack, any way
that none Of them will be much, If at all,
pJI out.

APPEAL IN THE PLANT WILL CASE.
Morton #. Plant Says He is Not Act
ing i'm Concert with the Widow.
From The New York Tribune.

FROM the New 1Ork tribune.
Justice Friedman handed down formal
decision upon the motion of Margaret j.
Plant against the executors of the estate
of Henry B. Plant on Monday last for the
trial of certain issues of fact by jury de-
ny!ng the motion, and yesterday Mrs.
Flent's attorneys took an appeal from this
decision of Justice Friedman to the APP
pellate Division of the Supreme Court. The
appeal will probably be argued some time
in May.
Morton F. Plant says that when he ac-
cepted the appointment as one of the exec
utors under the will of his father he real
lied in SO doing that it was his duty to
carry out that will, the contents of which
were well known to himself and TO Mar
garet Plant for at least seven years, and
he desired that the statements heretofore
published, to the effect that he was act
ing in concert with the plaintiff Marga-
ret j. Plant, be pronounced a mistake He
took the ground that he was in duty ard
honor bound to Loyalty stand by his faith
eTs wishes.
Morton F. Plant is the son of Henry B.
Plant by his first wife, who was Miss Ell
len Blackstone of Connecticut, the sister
of T. B. Blackstone the well-known Chi
cago railroad president. The main WILL
which was probated in New Haven, was
executed in 1893 and by its terms the bene-
ficiaries receive during the time of the
trust the same amount. and the subse-
quent codicils did not alter in any way the
amount they were to receive. The estate
by the terms of the WILL was to remain In
trust until the youngest child of Morton
F. Plant, he then having no children liv-
ing. was q years DID, and II was to con-
tinue during the lives of Margaret Plant
Morton F. Plant and his wife, in any
event Subsequently, on May IS, 1895,
Morton Plant s son, now living, was born.
Henry B. Plant, in 1899, decided that, with
out altering the provisions for the benefi-
Charles in the original will, he would leave
the remaining interests of the estate 10
any hereafter born children of Morton F..
Plant and the child or children of the
grandson, and the trust was to continue
during the lives Of Margaret Plant, Nor
ton +. Plant and the grandson, Henry B.
Plant. The age, at this time of the grand
son necessarily continues the trust twenty
or thirty years longer than it would have
continued. under the original will.

THE DTsPENsARY.
How the state whisky shop Works
in Charleston.

HOW the state WHISKY SnOp WOrks
in Charleston.
From a Letter in the Baltimore News.
An Interesting feature of the city is the
dlspehsary law. AS is known, the state
bottles all its liquors and sells to the con-
sumner through dispensarles located In vii
lagos and cities. There are ten or twelve In
Charleston I believe. Whisky is sold for
from 10 cents half pint up The bottles
are displayed in the window and The goods
are sold over counter like any other
wares. They do thriving business, par
ticularly in the afternoon just before sum
down, as the dispensary closes at sunset.
There is a constant stream of purchasers
on Saturday afternoon, principally ne
groes They buy a half pint of whisky
for 10 cents, put 1t in their pocket, go
around the corner and take drink. The
sales from one dispensaryl in Charleston
amounted to more than $4,000 last year.
But the dispensary is not the only place
In Charleston where the thirsty may be re-
freshed The blind tiger tiourishes In
abundance AS matter of fact, saloons
are about as plentiful as they are in other
cities and they run Just about as openly.
They are as open In the hotels as IL there
were no law against them. A place may
be raided at 12o'clock and 1t will be opened
at 12:l5. The law is a perfect farce large
~ because DuD1lC III
is opposed to il and will not countenance
it's enforcement. At leading hotel the
saloon-keeper, talking about raids, said:
80! yes they raid me, but they don't get
much. A few bottles of beer are cap
tured which we leave about for that pur-
pose. Now, there's a bottle of brandy
wouldn't leave that out because ii is worth
a dollar. You see. hide 1t. If a consta-
BILE should come in I'd set him up to ci-
gars, let him take dozen bottles of beer,
and everything would be lovely
Hiding liquor seemed to be covering It
with a piece of cloth or putting 1t any
where not in plain view. 1t seems to be
contrary to the etiquette of a raid to take
anything that is not in sight or to look
about to see If there is liquor in the place
A place may be raided three times a week
without losing all told an hours business
Out in the state, however, the system
works better and there is not the whole
sale violation OF law

SPANISH WAR RELICS.
Rich collection Placed In the Ma
tiomaI Museum.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The recent war with Spain is furnishing
a rich field for collection for the National
Museum and the material on hand is al
ready very extensive and full of interest.
Campaigns by land and water in Cuba,
the Philippines and Porto Rico have all
contributed to the education of posterl,y
in the ways of warfare of the present
day.
The Capron loan collection occupies a
case by itself and tells a pathetic story of
the horrors OF war This collection en-
braces the uniforms, swords and other
relies OF father and son, who were both
called upon to sacrifice their lives in the
defense of their country. There is the yell
low plumed cavalry helmet Of Capt. Allyn
X. Capron, who was killed at the battle
Of Las Guasimas, togetehr With the saber
he wore when struck down by Spanish
bullet, and the sweat-stained gauntlets
that were upon his hands.
The artillery helmet OF Capt. Allyn Cap
ron, who died from fever contracted VIII lie
in Cuba, is also there, together with his
uniform, sword, spurs and other accouter-
ments Although not pertaining to the
war with Spain, one of the most interest
in grelics is the sword worn by Capt
Eirastus Allyn Capron, when he was killed
at The battle of Cherubusco. during tho
Mexican war.
Another case is given up to relics OF the
battleship Maine, which was blown UP in
Havana harbor. Among the numerous ar
ticles displayed are the wrecked steering
wheel, the pinnacle and stand, pieces of
the silver service presented by the state of
Maine. the compass, shells and powder
tanks. There are also the ribbon decora-
tons used at the ceremonies over the
Maine dead.
Dewey's victory at Manila bay is par
ticularly well represented. There is a six
pound rapid-hre gun Captured from the
Spanish at Cavite, the steering wheel from
Spanish gunboat destroyed that memoir
able May morning In Manila bay, a huge
searchlight from one of the Spanish cruis-
ors, flags that few from the masts OF

crew of the little torpedo boat Winslow is
recalled by a plate from that vessel per-
forated by shells from the Spanish land
batteries. There is also in this case a
plate from partition in the Iowa, perfor-
ated by a shell from the Cristobal Colon.
Hobson's never-to-be-forgotten deed of
daring is represented by fragment from
the masthead of the Merrimac. and a sec
ton Of the Santiago and Jamaica cable,
cut close to the shore under a whitening
fire, speaks in testimonial of the deeds OF
other brave men. Divers who went down
off the coast of Santiago after the Span
ish fleet was destroyed brought up many
interesting curios. AS a result of their
work this case contains biunacles, com
passes, lanterns and many other articles
of ship furniture.
Three other cases contain articles that
tell of the peaceful conquest Of Porto
Rico. There are swords and guns ancient
and modern coins, medals and the uni
forms of Spanish officers and privates. A
pair of rusty old handouts, and another
of leg shackles hint of dark dungeons be-
meath grim Spanish forts, and of the sJf-
feringE and torture prisoners there were
compelled to undergo. Flags captured on
land and sea- curious weapons and uten-
sils of ancient Spanish workmanship and
the accouterments of soldiers of both
armies make up the rest of the collec-
ton.
A ponderous piece Of work in bronze is
the center portion of the stern ornament
of the Cristobal Colon. 1t represents the
Spanish coat Of arms and is about five
feet by four in size and nearly a foot in
thickness. The Philippines and other dis
tant islands have furnished curious sDeci-
mems of native handicraft and the pri-
waite soldier has sent in his cooking kit
and housewife" to add to the interest
and completeness of the collection.
When the work is completed it will fur
nsh an interesting study of a great epoch
In American history, and will be more
complete than the collections from any
of the other of the nations wars.
