bent on sightseeing Speaking OF business.
Mr.. Carnage. who is at the head Of enc
OF the largest bicycle manufacturing con
Germs in England. said this morning:
Your high tariff keeps our goOt5 from
your markets. whereas English centres
are open to the industries and commerce
of the world There is one great mistake
the American manufacturer is making
which is bound to do him very much harm
he is always after big orders. ne wants
quantity. and sacrifices quality tmeri-
can-made articles. tools. machinery, used
10 have the best reputation. but they are
beginning to deteriorate. Bicycle sun
dries, for instance, are not OF the same
standard quality as they were few years
ago. l have no idea what may have Caus-
ed this unless il is that the trusts have
killed competition and are now. without
fear. flooding the markets with inferior
goods.
English trade is affected by the South
African war Especially the diapers in
the West End are suffering therefrom-
The consequence is that in many cases
boys are taking mems places and receive
mems wages OF course. the war must
be prosecuted TO the end. the English Tto-
pie demand it. and in TACT, can't do 9TH
erwise 1t is my impression that some
sort of an alliance was entered into be-
tween King Edward and Kaiser Wilhelm
during the latter's stay in England Yes.
sir. the people of England would favor
such an alliance"
Gentlemen. you don't know what cold
weather IS said Col. L. R. Wood, OF Syr-
acuse. y. Y. to group of friends at
Chamberlin's last night. Up in New York
State we get experience in the cold wealth
er line Now. gentlemen, this is perfectly
straight. a couple of years ago friend
of mine at just about this season went
duck hunting in the upper part of New
York and took along his setter dog which
he valued very highly. Il was bitter cold,
and stone and bone froze together I had
just discharged my gun and my faithful
dog jumped into the icy waves 10 get the
duck To my consterr alton the water
fr0ze around him and he could not move
either way. I valued the dog highly so I
jumped into the water and with a Ratchet
chopped him out. My clothes were freez-
ing on me. As my hotel was pretty
good distance of, I decided 10 at once go
there and change my apparel But 1
couldn't walk; everything on me was fro
zen stiE. I had to hire the fellow that
pushed the boat and get him to hit NE in
the knee with a fence rail at every step
10 prevent my clothes from getting stiff
with ice at the knee joints, and then ena-
bic me to walk Gentlemen. that is what
We call cool weather where I hail from"
Col " G. Williams. of Cleveland,
Ohio, is registered at the Arlington
Speaking of Mrs Nations way Of break
ing up saloons Mr.. Williams said:
/ Judge Lamson. of Cleveland, has a plan
for aboIishing saloons which he claims
would be far more effective than the
hatchet crusade Of Mrs. Nation. rs plan
is 10 exempt the saloons from the pro-
lection OF the burglary act He says
that % hi sIaries out OF 100 are com
! mitted upon saloons. and claims if liquor
! esta OIishments were not protected by the
( burglary law they would be put out of
/ business. and if such a state Of affairs
{ existed IN Cleveland there would not be
a saloon left in a week. The saloons
would be abolished without expense to
! the city or State I am not prepared TO
state whether / would like TO be iried
! before Judge Lamson, were I saloon
/ keeper and defended my properly against
/ the insane attacks of a woman like this
/ Kansas fury
The most exciting affair in the vicinity
OF Bronson. Fla, of late" said W n Call,
of Jacksonville at Chamberlin's this
morning was the ferociOus combat be-
! tween Two Of Farmer Hawkins intoxicated
CONS the ether day, causing the death Of
| one after a battle that would put mod
| ern bullfght to the blush
| Hawkins lives four miles from Bron-
son and prides himself upon his fine stock
! He makes lots of cane syrup also. In the
I grinding season most Of the farmers in
/ this country make beer for hcme consump-
/ tion from the cane skin-nings.' but Haw-
! kins IS a stanch teetotaler and vowed he
| would give the skimmings TO his COWS
: The COWS liked it and wanted more Soon
/ they had on goodly jag and they got
/ 5elligerent- One plunged at the other
/ trying to gel possession OF the trough The
( other with below of defiance. gored her
antagonist in the side The other turned
! tail for moment and then came rushing
I back pinning the COW to post and sering
| her rightfuIly. The fight became general.
I Ii looked as if a lot Of bOvines were play
! ing game OF football.
Mr. Hawkins as the result Of the
! -skimmings IS minus one COW and plus
| lots Of experience In the olden times il
was one Of the boys sports to get a drove
(, OF cattle IN an enclosure and feed them
with cane skimmings and watch the fight
