Will Eat Them. Says an Authority. in
 Preference to a White Man.
 An interesting story of the saurian family Is told by one of Algiers' oldest citizens Michael J. Barrett. who has spent much of his life in adventur on the high seas and in travelling in bus mess way along the Gulf shores He relates that when boy, living on the banks of the St. Johns river, it was customary for the boys in the neigh borhood to go in swimming every day
 Alligators were very numerous, but 1t was 8 seldom occurrence that white person was molested by them. MT. Barrett says that he cannot recall an instance where a white man or boy was ever killed by one On the other hand, woe be unto the pickaninny who ventured into the St. Johns, where these water pests held forth. It Is said that a negro never risks his life where an alligator lives
 Mir Barrett says that on one occa- sion, while he and several of his con- rades were In bathing, a negro boy, well known to the party, came by, shuf- fled off his clothes and dived in with the others. He had been In but few minutes, when he suddenly disap- peared without the slightest apparent struggle. An alligator caught him in the middle and took him under the water without giving him time to even warn the others.
 He tells of a similar incident on the Sabine river, another paradise for the allie atdr. He states that while he two friends and a negro were crossing the river if1 a small boat 1t ran against a snag and capsized near a nest of the pests, and the white men swan ashore without molestation. But the negro was bounced upon by several alliga- tors, as if they had some special grudse against him.
 Men can easily avoid attacks from this source. But long ago, when Flori- da was more sparsely settled and there were no fences along the banks of the rivers. cattle and swine naturally strayed down to the rivers edge to find ;t quiet, cool spot to graze and fight the gallinippers which were there in droves and made a shadow as a cloud. As long as the stock would find these places on the banks they were compar- atively safe from alligators. But as the day would grow and as the heat would increase, they would stray down to the rivers edge and wallow in order to get under the water to keep cool. | Their instinct, however, failed to teach | them caution, for invaria bly, the sly l was there for a different pur- pose. He had crawled to the waters | edge to sun his back, which could | scarcely, be distinguished from all old i!

HARRIsON's ESTIMATE OF Roosn-
 WELT.

The November Success" publishes
 an interesting and comprehensive es-
 innate of President Roosevelt written
 by the late President Harriosn, in 1898.
 MT. Harrison knew the president inti-
 mately, and selected him as possible | presidential candidate. Part of MT.
 Harrison's article is as follows:
 Should MT Roosevelt aspire to be- come president of the United States I believe that he will ultimately be suc-
 cessful First, he has the courage l requisite, and, secondly, the character.
 His varied life as a ranchman, hunter,
 soldier and politician, has placed him
 in such close proximity with so many
 different men that they have had am-
 pie opportunity to judge of his quali-
 ties and to understand when he says
 or does thing. There are many who
 believe that he Is too aggressive but
 MT. Roosevelt makes strength of char
 acter an object. To him it is the deed,
 and not the word. It is the power to act, to do something, as I have said, to produce result. That result may be right. or it may be wrong; but, not withstanding, it Is the result and MT. 1SSoSSNOiI AC cntiSACQs IL IL Dc WTOHE. he will be one of the first to set it right.
 One great thing In his favor Is his ab- solute adherence to all that iB strictly honest. This belief makes him man of frank, open expression. He Is quick to say a thing, for he knows that what
 he says Is the truth. During his civil service commission days I saw a. great deal of him, and 1t was that phase of his character which impressed me most. He seemed to let it permeate his clerks, and his presence among them was very gratifying. Not one in his department did he consider inferior to himself, and he once kept me waiting while he showed an errand boy the shortest route from the treasury building to the capitol.
 There are few men in the United States whose character is so we'll and widely understood That has been one of MT. Roosevelt's secrets of suc- ceses--to have his character understood He wants all men who regard him as a public servant to put impioitstrust in him. If he had no other record than his service as an employee of the civil service commission, he would be de- S6ENlilS u tH6 udLiob iblLhuS dIlu Tt was an office that hrourrt ! the men who have occupied 1t into lit- tie or no prominence, but MT. Roosevelt was not content to hide his life. I be- lieve that, if he had been given the | most conservative work in the country, l he would have made 1t an important | affair. He is forceful to the backbone, | and he has the keen ability to make his | value known in his work. He Is study | ing the political economics of this coun- try with the hope of becoming a master of ecQnomic expression. He has cut himself out as a public servant, and, | no matter what position he is placed In, he will strive to win public con- idence I do not predict that Mir. Roosevelt will ever be the president of his country but he Is the proper metal hat makes president.

blood vessels even in predisposed cases The tissues of the old usually do not heal we'll because they fall to react we'll. Reaction means inflammation, and is usually accompanied by pain. It is one of the compensations of years that they bring increasing insensibili- ty to pain as we'll aS to pleasure. Where inflammatory reaction fails, in- jured tissues die. Death is painless. So 1t happened that, without a sign, all the directly injured tissues of the late president died.-New York Inde- pendent.

Of acquiring and consolidating the bust
ness of separate organizations operating in
Maryland and the District Of Columbia
Its capital stock Of 81. $4,000 was not is
sued for money subscribed, but in pay
ment for those properties: 81 800 600 was
passed to and divided between the Mary
land company and the American Bell Com
pany, and $75OOOO was delivered to the
National Capital Company.
The actual value of the property received
In exchange, as shown by the statements Of
the experts and derived from the defend
ant books, was, in Maryland, $345 ,04b. "a
and in the District Of Columbia, $18s, 1875. a.
Differences between these values and the
face value Of stock transferred are repre-
scented solely by arbitrary valuations Of the
franchises acquired. What these franchises
may have consisted OF in Maryland does
not appear. There was no franchise ac-
quired In the District Of Columbia, and all
that could be acquired in addition to the
was what may be called the good wilr' OF
an established business.
Since the aforesaid purchases the defend
ant has issued and sold 9 per cent bonds of
the face value of 100000. The general
telephone business has been extended in
Baltimore and to many towns in Maryland
as well as to some portions Of West Vir-
ginia. and these have been connected with
each other and the main offices. Considera-
Bile extensions and changes have been made
in the plant in the District Of Columbia
DurlnS the years intervening between the
dates Of purchase aforesaid and the begin
ming Of the fiscal year in 1893, great ex-
penses, including interest and bonds have
been paid, and regular appropriations to
sinking fund have been made. Something
has been carried to surplus. and average
dividends of little more than two and a
half per cent have been paid on the full
amount Of the capital stock.
Legitimate Cost of Service.
A very great II not insuperable difficulty
in arriving at an accurate calculation Of the

Like ten thousand fiends growing
: AS in battle they engaged,
our shrouds the wind was howl
ing
AS the maddened tempest ragged.
AS the storm broke DER our vessel
Like furious demons daft.
Huge angry waves were striving
To engulf our noble craft.
But our ship with stout resistance
Met each angry yawning wave,
And to maintain her existence
Fought the battle true and brave,
AS she meets each sea in season
And their fierceSt charge avoids
Like a thing endowed with reason
Seemed the gallant Portland Lloyds.
Bravely on our ship is toiling; every
timber feels the strain
From the angry seas recoiling, yet she
meets the foe again
While our decks with floods are, stream
ing as the waves broke DER our
craft,
And the wind like demons screaming
through our rigging fore and aft,
The frightened crew with anxious faces
chung grimly to the weather rail,
Watching closely the seas to- windWarc
through the binding sleet and hail
And below our skillful skipper studies
| close his aneroid
Trusting to his staunch old clfpper-Wei

that sea were swept away!
We would see the struggling creatures
and the gestures that they made;
See their wistful, begging faces as they
vainly strove for aid!
But no help could be given. 1t was mad
ness to try
the storm our ship was driven
they were left alone to die!
Who can tell their awful grievings. their
grim agony Of mind,
AS the ship is quickly leaving the poor
wretches far behind?
Left alone to their reflections mid that
dreary waste of foam,
Tortured with the recollections of the
dear ones left at home:
Perhaps a dear and aged mother for her
wandering boy doth yearn,
A sister or brother prays and waits for
his return,
AS their watchful vigils keeping in
their sorrow stricken dumb,
While beneath the ocean sleeping lies the
boy who will ne'er come.
On the poop the crew were clustered,
sad and silent evry one,
AS in sorrow they were mustered to
find out who were gone,
Then with sad and sorrowing faces they
approach the weather rail,
And they man the weather braces te
| scud before the gale.
AS the ship moves through the pillows
! the Captains face doth turn
With a look of deepest sorrow to his
| drowning men astern-
With bound the vessel surges as the
| sea birds overhead
Shrek their CHASTITY dismal dirges
| mournful requiems for our dead.
