Just q Pun.

Colonel Alfred l.. Ainscow was sit
ting in his restaurant eating steak
dressed with mushrooms when Mr..
James p. Winchester and James f..
Nields walked In and after eXchang-
ing courtesies, got into a controversy
with the Colonel over the fatalities
that mushrooms have wrought on hu-
mainly, where toad stools have been
eaten by mistake.
mir. Winchester said that he did not
think that mushrooms were very d.
geatiblc, at which James NicldS said
that Colonel Alnscow did not want to
--gest--yet
The Colonel replied that he always
knew that James was a punster and
that he would yet make his mark in
the world, whereupon the three enjoy
cd a smile together.
The Colonel has not got over the
pun yet and tell his friends about it,
when they ask him who is going to be
elected Senator.

portunities for investment of money, ex- cept in land, were few, and as a conse- quence 1t was hoarded in all manner of secret places, drawing no interest while its safety was a source of constant wor- riment to It's owners. There were only a few stock companies, the chief of which was the East India. The stock in these corporations was unequal to the demands for it. and the modern device of water ing had not yet been invented Then ap- peared to quote one of England's great est historians, "a crowd of projectors in- genious and absurd. honest and knavish, who employed themselves in devising new schemes for the employment of re- dundant capital. It was about the year 1888 that the word stockjobber was first heard in London" He came to stay, and not only that. but to increase and multi ply and become one of the most potent forces in the realm. The money hidden away in secret vaults and drawers, bur jed In cellars and stored in attics soon found it's way into the swlndling com panies formed by these ingenious hunt CTS for other peoples cash. All classes of society were seized with the mania to be- come suddenly rich, and regarded with contempt the slow, old-fashioned meth ods of thrift. industry and patient accu- mutation which had characterized all the generations that proceeded them One day the inevitable crash came; the glitter ing financial bubbles burst, and England had its first experience of stockholders and spectators. That was about three hundred years ago. but the old game Is still being played there. here, everywhere within the borders of what is called civ ilization.

STANLEY ARRAlGNED.
Coroner BauscheI Held Him In Bond
 of $10,ooo.

New York. May 1S.-Kirk Stanley the masseur in whose room the body of the Rev Edward Phillips of Hazleton, Pa., was found Thursday night. was arraigned today before Coroner Bausche, who held him in S10,000 for examination next We'd nesday. The attorneys for Stanley issued the following statement today:
 After a thorough and conscientious examination into the facts of this case. we state unequivocably that there was no immortality, actively or suggestively. in the conduct of the unfortunate priest. The temporary unusual abuse of stimu- lants on his part is the sum total of any weakness with which he can be charged Ills life was morally pure and we deplore any suggestion to the contrary in an ir- responsible moment by a rum-crazed un- fortunate. If any women were in that flat. they were there before the arrival of Father Phillips. and had departed long before he arrived; nor did he see any women while there."

 The disfavor in which we are held by the manufacturing classes arises, of course, from the fact that we have not only refused to throw open to them by the adoption of free trade the richest market to be found, but also that we have made our appearance in the markets of the world as their successful competitors in nearly every branch of industry. This competition is certain to become keener and keener and there is no resource against it. Legislation is powerless to defeat it. for nearly the whole line of manufacturing industries calls into exist ence aggregations of capital so colossal that the men controlling them are prac- tically invincible in the fields they occupy. The genius of our inventors and the skill of our mechanics. combined with the en- terprise of those that employ and direct them make a combination well nigh ire sistible. Until within a very recent period 7 the manufacturers of Europe did not give up the idea that we should decide to abandon the protective principle That hope no longer exists. The section of the country which during the past forty years has furnished the majority of the trade votes in Congress Is becoming more and more identified with the New Eng land policy.

TWIN AMERICAN BELLIES
 STARS IN PARIS CIRCUS

Paris, May 1S.--It would be inter- esting to know where the Misses Gun ningham came from, but they won't tell.
 They are twins-two beautiful Amer ican maids, strong and 1.-the, who made their debut as female acrobats in the arena of the fashionable Nouvea l, Cirque in PariS about two weeks ago. The ruInor soon spread in the Ameri- can coicr,y that there was a mystery connected with these two fair com patriots.
 It became the rage to see their per forInances and seek introductions-for the Misses Cunningham were not only extraordinarily handsome. but cultured and verssd in all the litlie refinements of society. The best women of the colony in tied them to special teas and receptions.
 The girls seem modestly pleased by i-cse atte-.tions, but with gentle craft and firmness resisted all efforts to draw out any information, though they admit that Cunningham is not their family name, nor Gladys and Leonie their Christian names.
 The world correspondent called to- day on the Misses Cunningham at their pretty apartment on the Avenue Vic tor Hugo, and obtained the following statement from one of the twins Gladys or. Leonie. he cannot tell which:
 Nothing should concern the public about us except our performance. We are Americans, it is true, but for req sons of our own we desire to keep our identity to ourselves. We come from a very good and very well-known fam fly, and are graduates of one of the pricinpal girls colleges, but the ru- nor that we were driven to adopt in- cognito by scandal is gratuitous.
 Three years ago we suddenly found ourselves compelled to earn living.
