SCRAMBLING FOR OUR CORN.
Parisians at the Exposition Mar
vel at Yankee Ingenuity.

A Paris dispatch says: The Amer
lean maize kitchen at the exposition
was opened officially today land seems
bound to create immense interest as
well as increase the consumption OF
corn in France.
Today's function was in every way
successful, and the idea of distributing
food samples free, which is quite novel
in Paris, is certain to cause heavy de-
mands upon firms that have under
taken to supply the corn.
The manager of one important res
taurant stated to your correspondent
that he would henceforth have corn as
a regular item of his menu. Ambassa-
dor Porter declared in few remarks
to those present and afterward private
ly that there was a great future for
American corn in Europe, which would
mean millions in the pockets of Amer
lean farmers when the fact was prop
erlV appreciated.

NinetY-eight Per Cent.

There is fascination about big prof

ative and cautious trader prefers to
have the lesser per cent. of interest
and the large per cent of safety in his

man who would not consider it sound
proposition to invest in an Enterprise
in which absolute loss was impossible
and which offered ninty-eighty chances

statistics of cures effected by Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
shows that .ninety-eight per cent.
of cases of "weak lungs" can be abso-

of physical weakness may be traced to

Another Cuban Scandal.

The actual cost of thai little govern
ment railroad in Cuba was $32, 900 per
mile. The former superintendent OF
construction of it is quoted as saying
it can be built for $4,000 per mile.
The government has put S342,6ll into
building and equipping the ten miles
of road. If it can be built for lO,OOO
per mile, then 1t would appear that
there had been either a great deal OF
extravaganza or big "rake-off' in
connection W it'll the road. Harrington,
the ex-superintendent, said he knew a
big scandal would result from an in
vestigation. There can be little doubt
that an investigation will be made, and
the people who built the road will be
gwen an opportunity to explain.

two years. Then she was sent to
Paris to study art and music. In the
meantime she developed into beautl-

There has been much gossip about
Miss La Chappelle, most of it to the
effect that she once began a breach OF
promise suit against her benefactor.
This has been denied by Mr.. Clark's
friends, who insist that the kindness
which he has shown Miss La Chap

Their was for many years his intimate
friend. 1t is also stated that Miss La
Chappelle's sister is being educated by
Clark at a seminary near Washington
and that these eases are only samples
Of his widespread philanthropy. His
friends claim that Clark is educating
40 less than Is young men and women
in whom he has taken an interest.
Somewhat different rumors, which
are not so fattering to the copper king,
are persistently circulated, however.
The fact remains that Mr.. Clark has
authorized an emphatic denial that he
is engaged to Miss La Chappelle.

CAUGHT A RATTLesNAKE.
A Negro at Lake Park Had Startling
Experience,

Experience.
William Adams, a teamster for a
turpentine firm at Lake Park, had an
experience chasing rabbits yesterday
that he will not soon forget. He was on
his wagon when he saw rabbit run
across the road. He was overcome by
desire to catch the fleet-fOoted little
animal, so gave chase, running the an
imal into clay root. He thrust his
hand into the hole to draw.out the rab-
bit he drew out a monster rattlesnake,
which was striking at him like light
ming, burying his fangs into his flesh
at every stroke. The snake measured
six feet in length and had eleven rat
ties. At last accounts the doctors at
Lake Park were working to save the
negros life, with slim chance of sue
cess.
