a chain of history which stretches back TO tIod-

ancestor Of the Duke. distinguished himself by
O feat of arms for which he awarded a per
petuaI pension of $40 a year. From years end

Dukes descendants have received annually a

has now committed the pension. letting the coun-

the end of the century, Lord Nelson's herOism
has cost Great Britain t5SO,00O, and will cost
half a million sterling for every century the title

Up to now the Wellington balance sheet shows
that the Great Duke has cost the nation more in

granted two annuites of e. 600 for himself and
his next two heirs. and with the present Duke
the pension ceases.

to say:
"In every walk in life at Devils:

excellent last year, some of the.
yields of grain being simply pheno-

raised, and the price Of this staple
being in the clouds, money has
been plenty.

PROFESSIONAL BONDSNEN.
THEY ARE BITTEN IN THE POLICE
COURT.
Judge Wilcox Suddenly Elevates the
Fine for Gambling and They Lose on
Agreements to Pay Fines.

The professional bondsmen at the
police court have had a hard knock
from Judge Wilcox. There are two
Chinese who make a business of bailing
out their countrymen and paying fines
FOR them BY charging a percentage
for bail and making profits on the fines,
they take in quite nice income.
The system is quite simple one and
as long as Judge Wilcox doesn't change
the fines there is little chance for losing
money, but in the last batch of cases
his honor did change the fine and the
bondsmen wore long faces as they left
the court.
When a Chinese is arrested for gamb-
ling or any other ordinary Offense the
bondsmen approach him with an offer
to bail him out and pay his fine, for a
consideration. The judge has been in
the habit of making the fine 81 and
costs and on this basis the men who
put up bail could make a profit if they
got SO from each prisoner and agreed
to pay after he had plead guilty and
been fined.
The bailers did the same business, on
larger scale in opium cases. The
opium man needs 800 bail and is prac-
tically sure of a fine of $50 if convicted.
In the cases of the last large crowd
of gamblers Judge Wilcox Unexpectedly
elevated the fine to $40 each and costs.
Inc men nau given the DOndSmen 80
each and agreed to plead guilty and
it mattered not to them what the fine
was for it was to be paid by those who
put up bail. The latter We're on hand
to see that all went well, expecting the
fines to be 81. The change to $40 caused
loss of about $130 to one man, as
there was a large crowd of gamblers.
This morning there were nine more
Chinese gamblers in court. The sum

them and all defauted and forfeited
bail. The bondsmen had long faces
