rHEIR LIVES IN JEOPARDY.
sailors on the Great Lakes Are Con-
stantly Beset with Danger
and HardshiD.

"If any man thinks the American
sailor is thing Of the past he should
spend awhile on the great lakes" said
C. +. Bailey, Of Duluth, Mimi, reports
the Washington Post. ''The American
fresh-water sailor is every bit as pic
turesaue a parsonage as was the salt
OF early days who carried our mer-
chant flag into every port Of the
world. His life is just as full Of
hardships and just as full Of dangers.
There is a large fleet Of three and four
masted schooners on the lakes and
stories of the wreckng Of them come
with every big storm. A nastier body
of water than Lake Erie when It
comes on to blow can be found no
where. and some Of the experiences of
the life-saving crews along its shores
are the most thrilling in the history Of
the service.
"The men who man the big lake
steamers, Of course, have not much
Of romance in their lives, but there are
enough Of the old sailing vessels left
TO keep a considerable army Of men
employed. Any skipper who can nayi-
gate a schooner from Duluth to Buff
falo is a good enough sailor to sail
around the world. and he viii do as
well as the next man to take care OF
his vessel in the roughest sea the At
lantic was ever able TO blow up"

BoNzOLINE BILLIARD BALLS.
Growing Popularity Of a New SUBJ
stltute for Ivory IN Their
Competition.

The growing scarcity Of ivory viii
inevitably bring bonzoline balls more
and more into use in billiard rooms,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. The ivory
balls used in the recent championship
match were afterward sold for Is
guineas. and a set that has been in nse
for II months and can be relied upon
to keep true is almost priceless There
IS an impression abroad that the Bill
lard association is opposed 20 the use
Of bonzoline balls. but The World Of
Billiards. declares that this is not 50.
II IS rarely. indeed, that a bonzoline
ball gets out Of shape. and their alb
solute accuracy Is an immense point in
their favor. On this account they are
quite unequaled for pool and pyra-
mids. and in a very few years time IL is
quite certain that nothing else win be
used for those games. Then, ivory
balls are utterly useless in a tempera-
ture like that of Africa or India.
Donzoline balls, on the contrary, seem
10 be unaffected by heat or cold. while
il Is another small point in their favor
that they are colored an through and
never need anything in the way OF re-
dyeing. OF course, they do not play
exactly like ivory balls, and a week or
two Of steady practice is necessary in
order to accustom ones self 20 6he

BRYAN ATTocKS B. T. CLAYTON. Asks Whether the New York Congress man Voted for Army Bill In Order
 To Secure an Army Position.

Lincoln, Neb, February 15.-W. J. Bryans Commoner prints the following:
 "Bertram T. Clayton was elected to the firty-sixth Congress as a Democrat from the fourth New York district. Clayton was one of four Democrats in the House who voted for the Hull army bill It is strange enough that a man elected to Congress as a Democrat should give his support to 0 bill so undemocratic and so directly opposed to the platform unani- mously adopted at Kansas City, but the strangest part of the statement Is yet to be made
 number of Congressman from New York, mostly Republicans, recently called upon the President and urged the appointment of Congressman Clayton to 8 position in the army, with the rank of major. Now, this striking coincidence, his vote on the army bill and his application for po- sition in the army suggests several in quiries Did he vote for the army bill be- cause he intended to apply for an ap- pointment, or did he apply for an ap- pointment because he voted for the army bill or were the two acts entirely discon- nected?
 Did the Republican members recom- mend him because of his personal quail ties or because of political peculiarities? Did the President speak highly of him because he voted like a Republican,"

STEEL TROST PROFITS.
Wall Street Believes J. P. Morgan Will
 Clear S25, ,ooo, 900.

New York, February 15.-J. P. Nor gan has decided to bring the steel indus try of the United States under his con trol and now the men who have develop ed this industry are scurrying over the land in the effort to carry out the plan.
 Henry Clay Fricke, the fighting coke king, has come to New York from Pitts burg Charles M. Schawb, president of the Carnegie Steel Company, ran over to Pittsburg Sunday and hurried back again Monday night. Gates, Gary and half hundred other leaders in the steel trade continue their activity.
 Morgan is the playwright. He has laid his plot He has outlined his scenes He has selected his characters. While the banker munches a cigar in his office at the corner of Broad and Wall streets, the rehearsal, most private, occupies the stage. The first act in Chicago, the sec ond act in Pittsburg. the third act in New York-and all scenes are filled with the smoke of rolling mills and the angry glare of furnaces The murmer of the minority stockholders Is heard without; and all the actors move quickly, slowly, gayly or sadly in that surpassing drama, The Billion Dollar Trust"
 It is much like magic that a man should come quickly possessed of $25, 00,OO0 by manipulating properties he does not own; but it is simple after you understand it.
 Therefore, in the work of consolidating companies Morgan has what hardly an- other possesses, unlimited command of money. He dominates so many boards of directors that he is enabled to order one board to sell and another board to buy.
 How much will Morgan make out of the steel trust organization? is a question asked hourly.
 Wall street believes it will be not less than $25.00o,o0o.
 The other day Morgan bought three Railroads and sold them to another rail- road. He admitted in court that he made $2, ,3OO,0 900.
 He will apply this simple pripciple to the steel trust organization
 Little cash is needed. The stock holders of the various companies to be Morgan syndicate. for their own stock 1T StOckuOlUSTS or tne constituent com panies do not want syndicate stock, they can have cash.
 When Morgan has completed paying out stock Tor the various constituent companies-stock that was not originally his-he simply takes what is left If he gets the entire number of companies for $950, ,000,000, he will retain $50,OO0,00O of the stock.
 So here men may look on the amazing spectacle of a man cashlng the confidence the financial world has in him for these millions. Fifty millions may be too high a figure, but Wall street believes that this little idea, working through month, will net him $25 100000.
 MT. Prick is stopping at the Holland House, wich Is also the New York home of Charles M. Schawb, president of the Carnegie Company.
 MT. Prick was saked some questions concerning the great transaction. Mr. Prick courteously refused to answer them.
 II am sorry" said MT. Prick, "but l can say nothing at all"

"SWEE1" EATERS
Way to Correct OniIdren's Taste.

Sometimes children become willful and refuse nourishing food demanding sweets, candy, ice cream, etc., much to their detriment. It Is a great help in such cases to have food that is natur- ally sweet and attractive. A case in Philadelphia will illustrate.
 The daughter of Mrs. M. E.. Searles, living at 1880 Miff1in street, was a deli cate child from infancy and had been in- dulged in many things. She gradually got thinner and more fretful daily, re- fusing food other than sweets, etc, fin ally contracting whooping cough, which undermined her health to such an extent that her attending physicians agreed that her cough had developed into bronchial catarrh, and that only a short time would ensue before consumption would relieve her sufferfngs.
 In despair, the child's aunt was sent for and knowing the wonderful nutritive value of Grape-Nuts food, she prepared some and induced the little one to eat 1t. At the first taste she said: "Oh, auntie, this is so nice, I want some more.' From that time the child acquired an appetite, and began to improve. She was fed on Grape-Nuts steadily until now she is a perfectly healthy, strong child, attends the Girls Grammer School, and is a bright and apt pupil.

On one occasion he was pursuing a com mando, and the Boers sent off their wagons in charge of women and girls In one direction and went themselves in an- other. The women were such expert driv- CTS that the British had considerable diff fculty in catching the convoy. General Smith-Dorien occupied Amsterdam and Tauugs February g.
