Maryland Tobacco

The local market continues in good
shape on all desirable grades of tooactr,
with preference shown, of course, for the
better qualities of French, light handling,
and leafy descriptions. The fact that the
French Government has called for
another large proportion of the Mary
land weed this year should prove very
encouraging to our growers, showing,
as it does, that the efforts of the Mary
land planter to enhance the general
attractiveness of his packing and sorting
are being appreciated by that country.
Even low grades are selling well at from
2 cents up.
The successful bidders on Maryland to-
bacco this year were A. Schumacher &
Co., who will fill one half Of the French
contract (say 5000 hhds }. while the other
half 5000 hogshead>) will be supplied by
Henry Lauts s. Co.. both Of Baltimore
The Ohio contract-about 1900 hhds-
went to J. D. Kremmelberg & Co., the
slme hous that filled it last year.

No Danger Of Starving.

Mr.. Joseph J. Janney, Secretary of
Board of Managers of the House of Refor-
nation, addresses the following commune
cation to the Sun:
MEssRs. DEMONSTRATING that the
statement in regard to the House of Ref
ormation, that the point of starvation is
almost reached, may be misleading and
give concern to some parents who have
boys there, l wish to assure the public that
there is no danger of this. 1t is true the
cutting down of our appropriation by the
city is causing US no little concern, and we
feel the necessity of the closest economy in
order to avoid a deficiency in our finances;
yet there is no intention of shortening the
allowance of food either for the boys or
for the officers. Economy will lie made to
affect every other department before it will
be permitted to attack the commissarat.
The cut of so per cent. in our allowance
from the city and the decrease in the APP
preparations to other reformatolies is
serious mistake, but we feel hopeful that
the year 1902 will see US restored at least
to the old basis of financial support by the
city; if so this temporary embarrassment
can in time be overcome. AS far as the
House of Reformation is concerned, we
feel certain that those who were instru-
mental in cutting down our appropriation
never paid US visit and informed them
selves of the needs of the institution. But
We will in our own defense say this: That
the Jail Board, through its own subcom-
mittee, must have known that we were
worthy of support, for this language is
used in letter to me by member of that
subcommittee: II am proud to have been
one of committee to visit such an ad.
n,irable institution Would there were
more like it,"
Whoever is responsible for the cutting
down of the appropriation for the House
Of Reformation-and no one seems willing
to shoulder tit is certain they could not
have realized the good work that is being
done there. Those in whom is vested the
authority tc fix the amount of the peoples
money that may be properly employed in
the support of reformatories should be re-
quired to visit them personally, and if
they are found to be worthy of support,
appropriate the amount that may be
needed to maintain them adequately.

Napoleon's Evil Eye.

Lord Russell, when the present writ.
er questioned him about Napoleon's
look, said, and emphatically repeated,
that there was something very evil in
his eye, says Goldwin Smith in the At.
lantic. He added that the eye flashed
at an allusion to the excitement Of
war as contrasted with the dullness Of
Elba. A feature in the character
which, perhaps, has hardly been
enough noticed, was sheer lust of
war, and especially Of battles, the
emotions of which, Napoleon seems to
have owned, were agreeable to him.
It appears not improbable that this
had a share, together with his insa-
table ambition and his political need
Of glory, in launching him on his mad
invasion of Russia, for which 1t is
difficult to assign any political pur.
pose, as he refused to restore the king
dom of Poland.
Another feature not much noticed
in Napoleon's character is his classi-
cism. In his early days he had en-
ployed his garrison leisure partly in
reading Roman history, and instead
of being repelled he had been fascl-
mated by the presentation Of the Ro-
man Empire in Tacitus. We see the
result in his Eagles, his Legion Of
Honor, his political nomenclature. and
the general cast of his political insti-
tutions. Perhaps the image Of the
Roman Empire as a model for repro
duction foated vaguely before his
mind. A grosser anachronism, it is
needless to say, there could not be
than an attempt to impose on the Eu-
ropean family Of living nations any
thing like the yoke imposed by Rome
on a set of conquered provinces IN
which national spirit was extinct.

LonI-Liyed Birds.

1t used to be believed that ravens
lived longer than any other species OF
birds, and it was said that their age
frequently exceeded a century. Re-
cent studies of the subject indicate
that no authentic instance Of raven
surprising seventy years Of age is on
record. But parrots have been known
to live 100 years. One lost its mem
ory at sixty and its sight at ninety.
There is a record of golden eagle
which died at Schoenbrun at the age
OF 11S years. Another golden eagle
was kept in the Tower Of London for
ninety years. A third died at Vienna
aged 104 years. Geese and swans are
tenacious of life. and extraordinary
accounts exist of the great age that
they have attained. Button and other
authorities have credited them with
eighty and 100 years of life.-Albany
Argus.

always shared in this popularity, al
though the sterner Puritanism of his
potential subjects nave often been
shocked by stories of his dissipation.
He IS a fervent sportsman, and mas

oughbred racing horses. He is
as fond of good Cog as of a good
horse. His kennels at Sandringham
are fourteen in number, built Of brick
and iron, with every modern improve
ment that architects and dog fanciers
could suggest.
The affection and esteem in which
the Prince has been held was never
better ampliiied than in December,
1871, when he was attacked by typhoid

was rewarded. When it was an
nounced that the wishes of a nation
had been fulfilled, and that boy had
been born there was universal con-
graduation. Prelates and statesmen
embraced one another with uncon-
trolled ef'usiveness. Cannons on the
grounds without thundered the news
to all the surrounding district. Thou
sands of church bells took up the glad
tidings and pealed out the announce

in the morning the privy council. met
in state to ordain prayer and thanks
giving from one end of the country to
the other.
A few weeks later. on the occasion
Of the Princes baptism in the royal
chapel of Windsor, he was shown from
the balcony to a huge crowd of per-
sons, who went wild with delight.
The boyhood of the Prince was un-
eventful. HIS early education was COIL
Quoted under the tutelage of the Rev.
H. NJ. Birch, rector of Prestwich; Mr..
Gibbs, barrister. at-law; the Rev. c. f.
Tarver and Mr. H. W. Fischer. He
then studied for a session at Edin-
burgh, and later entered Christ Church
ut Oxford. Here he attended public
lectures for year and afterward re-
sided for three or four terms at Trini-
ty College, Cambridge, for the same
purpose.
In the summer of 1860 the Prince
paid a visit to the United States and
Canada. Everywhere he was received
with boundless enthusiasm. He danced
at ball given in his honor at Wash
ington, where he was cordially well
coined by President Buchanan. The
United States, indeed, was prepared
to receive him with open arms. At
Hamilton, the last place in Canada
where he made halt. he had spoken
some kindly words which awoke gen.
eral approval here.

New Idea About CongenialIty.

A recent marriage gives new idea
about real congeniality. The young
man and the young woman first met
at q yacht club meet. Each was al
ready engaged to be married, but IN
each case there was something lack
ing, But these two discovered that
their souls were in full sympathy.
They both liked yachting; that was the
first straw. They both delighted in
canoeing; second straw. They both
were enthusiasts over swimming; by
the time this discovery was made they
were head over heels in love. The last
straw came when they confessed to
one another that five hours swimming
a day was as nothing. The other en-
gagcments were snapped, broken, and
in a short time the wedding came. For
wedding journey they chose a trip
in q sailing yacht. over the sides OF
which they would dive now and then to
swim, getting in their five hours day
in the water without the slightest
trouble.-New York Sun.

A Startled Photographer.

some fun with a photographer the 9TH
er day. Entering the latter's studio,
he sat for Il picture. When the artist
developed his plate he was surprised
to discover on the young mans for>
head a skull and cross bones. Suspect
ing that something was wrong witt

remarkable feature. The artist was
now greatly puzzled. a Philadelphia
paper says that the phenomenon was
produced by a simple trick. The stu
dent had painted the design on hi;

disulphate. This is said to be invisi
bic to the eye. but it shows pure white

CHAPTER II.

THE MAN WHO SAW BRAVE GORDON FALL.
Mr.. Grimes sees the action and does
not appear to e at all surprised-in-
deed, he rarely deviates from the
steady repose that marks him as 4
wonderfully newy man.
Something glistens in his hand-it
is a revolver, and the light gives the
blue steel a cruel as well as a cold
look. Evidently the stout tourist is
ready to take care of himself.
Sandy has clutched the torch, which
he at once raises above his head. Half
a dozen ragged forms have sprung
into view beyond. Perhaps some arch
has secreted them until now. There
can be no mistaking their intentions,
for quickly they advance, spreading
out as if to prevent the Franks, who
have thus wandered into their net,
from escaping.
"Backsheeshw they clatter like a
lot Of monkeys, holding out begrimed
hands and scowling.
There is only one way to treat these

stand back cries Sandy with a
roar, as he swings the flambeau around
his head.
They understand enough English to
know what he is sayins-at any rate,
his actions are doubly significant
but, believing they can rule tie ranch
by mere force of numbers. the ragged
beggars continue to push forward,
thus hemming the two whites in.
Although small in point of stature,
Sandy is a warrior, every inch of him,
and, as might be expected from his
