Copenhagen.

In the landsthing Oct. 8 Foreign
| Minister DeuntZer submitted bill rat
| flying the cession Of the Danish West
! Indies to the United States, and urged
a speedy settlement of the matter. The
| first reading of the bill is fixed for
| Oct. IS, the second reading will be Oh
| Oct. %. The minister now agrees to
| take a general plebiscite after the leg
| islative ratification of the treaty. The
| vote in the landsthIng will be close,
| but it will undoubtedly be favorable to
| the treaty.
The zoological Have" is to have a
giraffe but in order to procure one of
| these rare rubber necks' it will cost
| the management not less than 10000
| crowns. But stock company has
been formed and Judging from pres
ent indications the giraffe will soon be
forthcomng The intention is to
| charge an extra admission Of 10 ore
and then it is calculated that dividends
can soon be declared.
Danish merchants and manufacture
crs will meet next week to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY OF taking part in the
st. Louis fair. 1t does not seem likely
that Denmark. which was very extern
sivelv represented at the last Paris eX-
position, will be able to exhibit in the
United States, as the resources at its
DISPOSAL for exhibition purposes have
been largely exhausted.
Charlotte Wiehe, the Danish actress,
who during the last four years has
been appearing at the Royal opera in
Paris, is now making a European tour.
She recently appeared at Berlin, where
she was most enthusiastically re-
ceived. Miss Wiehe speaks a perfect
! French and German, and is considered
one of the most talented Danish on the
stage today.
The treaty ceding the Danish West
Indies to the United States will be sub
mitted to the upper house Of parlia-
ment tomorrow. 1t is probable that
there will be a majority Of one or two
votes in favor Of the sale Last spring
there was a majority of three against
"
to the sale by large majority.
During the recent trial Of the noto
riOus swindler, Kay Hansen, the pros
ecutiOn brought out that his total en-
bezzlements amount to not less than
100000 crowns. His last act was the
forging Of a check for 5000 crowns
from his aunt. Mrs Analie NOregaard
Hovedgaard "Norduplund'' was COM
pfetely destroyed by fire on the night
| of Sept 26. The fire spread to all the
adjoining buildings and within four
hours the entire property was com
pletely destroyed. TIE loss sustained
is estimated at 10000 crowns.
The crown prince Of Siam arrived in
Copenhagen Sept 1G and remained as
the guest of King Christian for two
days. He has since visited in Paris
and London and will spend about two
months in the United States.

An illustration OF the truth OF this
proverb Is found In Mr.. J. q. Bertram's
book. 'rShe Harvest OF the Sea" IL
seems that n monopoly OF the extern
size fisheries OF Scotland and England
once came Into the hands OF n man
who kept his agents at the principal
stations and required them 10 furnish
him all facts that came 10 their knowl-
edge.
AT one OF his stations In the far north
the fishing had been unsuccessful for
the greater part OF the season. and
there was no prospect OF improvement.
when he looked into the matter. Upon
examining his agents letters from
that place for some years back he
found by n comparison OF dates that
az a certain place behring's were likely
to be found. lie accordingly instructed
his agent 10 send his boats TO that
spot.
The fishermen laughed at the idea
OF n man sitting some hundreds Of
miles away and telling them where 10
get fish. but as his orders were posi-.
tive they had TO obey. and the conse-
quence was that they returned next
morning loaded with behring's.

TWO DAYS OF SUCCESSFUL FISHING
And Hunting on Halls Lake Large
Crowd and a Generally Good Time.

A number of Bryan people with n
few OF their country friends left last
Monday night to spend two or three
days fishing and hunting on Halls
lake, about twenty miles north Of
Bryan. Having equipped themselves
with everything that makes one
comfortable In the way Of ham,
mocks, boats, nets, seins, provisions,
ice etc., they naturally anticipated n
great big time and the writer being
present feels safe In saying that no
one was disappointed. The majority
In attendance were young ladies and
OF course amused themselves about
camps or on the lake fishing flor
perch while most Of the men were
SEEMING the river and hunting SPUR
rels, etc.
The first days work resulted In
having fish aud squirrels for supper
and breakfast aud everybody having
plenty, possibly l25 pounds of fish
being cooked the first evening.
Another pleasant event Of the FIRST
day was the serenade given by the
Kurten string band composed OF
several instruments aud OF excellent
quality. Just as the party was fix
ing TO retire the band began TO play
Dixie. Their arrival not being an
ticipated made II more the merrier.
They were invited to "come into
camps and made TO feel at home aud
exchanged the pleasures OF the even
ing.
The second day proved to be more
pleasant and successful than the
first; by far the greater amount OF
fish being caught aud the squirrel
hunters having better success. At
dinner this day the crowd numbered
fifty-flve and there were enough
fish left to feed another such crowd.
The remainder Of the hunt was
spent with the same success and
pleasure as first told and when all
were tired returned home to let IL
rain and benefit those who were not
lucky enough 10 be on this trip.

THAT CAR OF POTATOES.
Manager Simpson Hears form the Car Of
Potatoes Supposed TO be Lost.

The Brazos County Truck Grow
ers' association, on the 2Sth Of
May, shipped straight car Of
potatoes on consignment TO S. r.
Young & Co., Of Kansas City. No
report could be had from the con.
signees, and growers who had
shipped the goods, feared they
were lost.
Mr.. McDua Simpson, the mana
ger Of the associations business,
has been working on the matter
and is In receipt Of the following
letter from the publishers Of the
Kansas City Packer, upon whose
recommendation of Young q Co.,
the goods were consigned TO them:

Dear Strive are in receipt Of
your favor of the 10Th relative TO
s. r. Young & Co. and note same
carefully. In reply will say that
Young's whereabouts at the present
time is unknown to his brother
who has charge of the Kansas City
office and to everyone else so far
as we know. His checks are going
protest all over tn country and he
seems TO be owing a great deal Of
money. When he left Springfield
for Kansas City he brought with
him a letter from the bank there
saying that Young was worth about
forty-five thousand dollars net
above all debts. This with his
past good record was our reason
Cor indorsing him. We are at
loss to understand his present
action and are awaiting develop
ments with a great deal Of interest.
We think the Packer will hear
from him as quick as any body |

settlement. We already have a
large number Of claims. There is
a criminal liability in your case If

seems to be sending out letters sug-

BREAKING THE BANK.

From the New York Journal.
 A few weeks ago the cables informed us that that brilliant young nobleman, the Earl of Rosslyn, had gone to Monte Carlo to break the bank there by means of an 'fnfallible" betting system. More recently we have heard that the system is failure, and we may shortly expect to learn that the bank has broken Lord Rosslyn. What people never will under stand" says London Truth, lis that the system of the bank is infa1lible and must in the long run vanquish.''
 The comment of MT. Labouchere's pa- per is particularly interesting, because one of it's rival weeklies, MT. T. P. O'Con- nor's M. A. D." hints that the owner of Truth once tried the same experiment as Lord Rosslyn and with similar re- suit. "Mr. Labouchere," says M. A. P" If you ask him about Monte Carlo and gambling methods of winning. replies that he understands there is a system there known as le systeme Labouchere, out of which M. Blanc and the other owners of the gambling rooms have made many millions of money"
 MT. O'Connors own view of the matter is one that seems to have a sensible basis. q have been to Monte Carlo twice." he says land I never gambled one solitary franc there. When I looked around at the gorgeous palaces of the place and thought of the immense cost of keeping 1t up-something like $500,000 a year-and when I recollected that the owners of the rooms were among the wealthiest of what is called smart so- ciety in France, I made up my mind that all these things did not scome from los- ings, and that a man must be a per- feet idot to imagine accordingly that he could in the long run get the better of | the bank"

BANANAS BY THE MILLION.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 How largely the toothsome banana and the festive cocoanut enter into the diet ary of the American people may be judged by the fact that the United Fruit Company alone. during the past year, distributed in the United States and Can ada, approximately. no less than 17,50O,- GOO punches of bananas and 13500, 900 CO., coanuts. in addition to other tropical fruits. Sixty ocean-going steamers were engaged exclusively in the banana trade.
 Estimating not over 100 good bananas to a bunch, these figures show an aver age consumption of more than 20 ban anas each for every man, woman and child in the United States, and a few millions extra for good boys and girls. But an attempt to divide up the cocoa nuts per capita will probably get us in to trouble, for. while the bulk is enor- nous. 1t means only one cocoanut to every half-dozen persons, enough for all perhaps, if the division was made on strictly equitable principles.

portanee or who have axes to grind.
 As the results of convention must be ratified by three-fourths of the States, no possible harm could arise. Who will say that any proposition, no matter what 1t may be. that three fourths of the States desire should not be adopted? The Millionaires' Club may say as much, and few Eastern organs may support it, hpt the propo- sition Is preposterous iB 6 government of the people by the people fer the people. Popular government Is well recognized in this country, and while it is the people should have a voice and they should be trusted. To dc claim against a convention is to say that the people are senseless, and that the Millionaires' Club should be left supreme.
