the Chicago d-Herald. As was to
be expected. the conversation turned on
the United States Steel Corporation.
Millions and billions were converse ton

staggerer Gould any one present definite
what a billion dollars really means?"
There was pause, and then Senator II.
c. Hansbrough of South Dakota told a
story, which apparently satisfactorily an
swered the question.

''one night two tramps looking for place
in which to spend the night CHANGED
across a half-empty box car on siding.
They awoke late the next day to find that
the car was partly filled with corn. 1t
was raining cats and dogs outside, and so
one of the tramps, producing a greasy
pack of cards, proposed game of poker
TO kill the time. The other agreed. They
were without chips, but a. substitute was
readily found by Smelling some of the
corn and using the kernels thereof in lieu
of the regulation white and blue disks.
L ne corn was Oh three cOlOTS, con-
tinued the senator, red, yellow and
white, and the knights of the road decid-
ed to make the white kernels worth 500,
the yellow $500 and the red $1,000. The
game being a credit one each took
most generous supply of chips.

John Fox, Jr., in his study Of the
Southern Mountaineer in the April Serb
ner, relates that a travelling evangelist,
Mr.. Barnes, once stopped at a mountain
tavern and told the story of the Crucifix-
ion.
When he was quite through an old wo-
man who had listened in absorbed silence
asked:
Stranger, you say that that happened
a long while ago."
Yes" said Mr.. Barnes, almost two
thousand years ago"
And they treated him that way when
he'd come down for nothin on earth But

The old woman was crying softly, and
she put out her hand and laid II on his
knee.

They have a convincing way of influence
ing Legislation in Kansas City. Kan. The
other evening several franchise measures
were up before the City Council for con-
sideration. They were unpopular but the
understanding was that 1.-The ring had
decided they must go through. A large
audience gathered to see the vote taken.
The galleries were filed with spectators.
and one feature of the assembled throng
was that considerable number of the
men carried ropes in the ends of which
had been tied a hangman's moose. After
looking at the ropes and the determined
faces of the men who carried them, the
councilmen decided that it would be bet
ter to give the franchise bills further
consideration, and they were carried
over.

the islands have cost, since the beginning
of the Instruction, 500. 5sS 900 in money,

of wounds, and 2l3O in officers and men

Another triumph for Georgia marblel
1t is TO be used in the construction of
the new Stock Exchange in New York
The committee that selected It for use
in the Minnesota capital has pronounced
IT nearer than any other native stone to
the Parian and Carrara marbles, and its
beauty has already been seen in the Cor
coran Gallery and a number OF other
splendid buildings in various parts OF the
country. In consideration of its virtues
George b. Post, the architect of the Stock
Exchange building. selected Il for that
edihce. Notwithstanding It's cost is con-
siderably more than that OF the lime

for Georgia marble is that II grows

the case with most marbles

PEARS, VIEW OF TRUSTS.

Mr.. Andrew Pears, the head of the Lon
don soap house whose advertisements are
seen in many American publications. is
of the opinion that the giant trusts which
have been created in this country do not
threaten England's trade in the world s
markets, for the reason that big trusts
mean higher prices. He says that what
turers will follow the American manu-
facturers and create great trusts. AS
long as the English manufacturers keep
their plants separate. they will be able,
in his opinion, to control the markets of
the world.
He points out that more than half the
stocks in the great combinations in this
country are watered stocks In order to
earn dividends on these watered stocks 1t
will be necessary to keep up prices,
Therefore England has nothing to fear
from American trusts.
There is of course some force in this
position. Perhaps Mr.. Pears does not
know that it is the purpose of the trusts
to make big profits out of their domestic
trade and thus be able to sell at low
prices in foreign markets. II he does
know it, however, he is wise enough
probably to see that the American people
will not submit to being robbed in that
fashion. If trusts will not sell in the
home market as cheaply as in foreign
markets the demand for the wiplng out
Of all tariff duties will become so inn
perative that no Congress will dare re-
fuse to grant it. Thus the trusts will be
forced to deal with their American Gus
toners as literally as they deal with
their foreign customers. II the trusts
want to pay dividends they will have to
squeeze the water ont of their stocks

a better idea to keep him where the pen

IMPORTANT DEC IsIoN
Judge Purnell Affirms Referees Decision in
Allen Bankrupt Case.

United States of America. Eastern Dis
trict of North Carolina, in the District
Court-in Banruptcy.
In re: Jacob S. Allen. Jr., Bankrupt
R. T. and R. L. Gray. attorneys, for
certain cred:trs.
John W. Hinsdale, attorney for creditors
and trustees.
This cause being certified for review
was duly set down for hearing and at
torney notified After some delay, briefs
were fled.
Upon careful consideration of the
record and briefs, it is considered, order
ed and adjudged that the findings of fact
and conclusions of laws by the referee
be and the same are hereby in all re-
spects affirmed. The decision seems to
be in accord with the settled law of
mortgages of mechandize, especially as
decided by the Supreme Court of North
Carolina. The cases relied on by claim
ant are easily distinguishable from the
law as decided in Holmes VS. Marshall,
rs n. c., 262; Cheatham VS.. Hawkins.
N. c.. 335; so n. c., 161, and numerous
cases along the same line. This is ex-
pressly recognized in Brown VS. Dali, III
n. c., Al, relied on by claimant. This
was mortgage of a saw mill, not to
help one who had become embarrassed to
pay off pressing claims and weather the
storm, hut to start a new business
Claimant files claim evidenced by a
note for $500, dated June 2, 1898, secured
by q mortgage on the stock of goods then
on hand, etc. dated 1898. The obliger
bankrupt was then involved, hut was
permitted to remain in possession and
continue selling goods. The stock was
constantly changing. This as declared
by the Supreme Court was legal fraud
which rendered the mortgage invalid
Claimant laws much stress on the fact
that there was mortgage made in
1897 for 81 900, but files the note of June
3, 1885, which appears to be the last
of g series of renewal notes secured by
a mortgage dated June II, 1898. When
this mortgage was executed it was in lieu
of the mortgage and note of 1897 and
must be so taken If claimant had then,
1898, taken a new note for $500, balance
due and secured by the mortgage of
1897, this would have been available as
a security for such balance, under the
decisions cited in the brief, Kidder VS.
McIlheny, 81 n. c., 8. and Hyman VS.
Devereux, SO N. c., 80, but he did not
do this. He took new mortgage and
upon this his claim must rest.
The referee is affirmed
