What are you going to do with me?" and then the chef said: I think I'll send you ashore, sir. If this were passenger steamer I'd vote for throwing you over board. but it is Government boat and all we can do is to get rid of you
 Accordingly he called some of his men and gave them orders to land this gentle man at the nearest possible point and re- turn immediately and Smalley, or Car ter, was led out.
 ''He attempted no defence or further explanation. but as he left the room he said to Smith: I'll settle with you as soon as can find you But Smith time you like, but reckon you won't try very hard
 After the small boat had been moved away there was naturally enough a fOr of more or less excited talk. I said nothing myself, having my doubts. but I notided that the drummer was as silent as I was and presently got a chance to speak to him quietly:
 What do you think about it?' asked him.
 |" I don't think; know he said quiet ly. I saw Smith take that card of the deck. It happened to be an ace, but I can't say whether he knew that or not. I don't see how he could unless it was marked.

Smailey Is pretty clever at sleight-of- hand, but he isn't one, two, three with Smith. 1 couldn't have told the motion if 1 hadn't happened to be looking at the deck at that moment.

HISTORIC CATALPA.
Tree in London Brought by Raleigh
 From Virginia.

| Providence Journal.
 Probably not one in fifty of the folk l from the United States who visit London | every year and go on their way rejoicing l in the thought that they have done the metropolis thoroughly. sees relic that to Americans ought to be one of the
 tree that Sir Walter Raleigh brought from Virginia. and that Sir Francis Ba- con planted in Gray's Inn Gardens That American travellers miss the his toric tree is no reflection on their sight seeing industry. Even Baedeker seems to have overlooked it. and probably few people in London. outside the officials of Gray's Inn, know its history. That his tory Is unusually interesting. however. When Sir Walter Raleigh brought the tree to England. his idea was to have his good friend and patron, Queen Elizabeth, plant 1t Tn Gray's Inn Gardens. then d favorite strollng place with the fash ionable folk. It was fully understood that the Queen would do so, but just before the time came Her Majesty was taken i'll, and she deputed Bacon-who according to MT Gallups cypher, was Elihabeth's Son-to take her place.
 Gray's Inn. for centuries devoted to law and lawyers. got it's name from having belonged to the Lords Gray as far back as the 1.30Os. It first got to be a law school in 1871, when the Elizabethan Hall, which contains some of the finest oak carvings in England, was built, Here Queen Elizabeth came often, and here Shakespeares Comedy of Errors was first given in 1594. and doubtless seen by Bacon. who began to study law at Gray's Inn in 1876. Other famous figures of the old Grays Inn were Thomas Cromwell and Lord Burleigh
 The gardens, where once the gallants and grandes danes of the town used to oregather and where Raleighs tree was planted, still remain, almost as they were; but now there is a high fence around them. the public Is not admitted ard the iaded folk who pass through shabby Gray's Inn road look longingly in at the grass and old trees,
 Oldest of all these, oldest, some say. Of all the trees in England, is the veteran catalpa that came from 'Virginy." In ia ct it is so old now that it has routed d good deal. and has to be kept in place by means of braces. The consequential rocks. which still live in the gardens, esteem the tree greatly as a perching place Tn fact. they have made it such T permanent headquarters that q barrel filed with drinking water for them has been set just beside the Cat1lpa. This barrel stands just on the spot where Sir Francis Bacon had a bench placed for his own enjoyment. The seat remained there for years after the philosophers death, until one night. when it disappeared. and thereafter could never be traced. Perhaps the ghost of Shakespeare stole It.

IS IT AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show an Alarming Increase in an Already Prevailing
 Disease-Are Any ExemptP

At no time in the history of disease has there been such an alarming Increase in the number Of eases ol any particular malady as in that of kidney and bladder troubles now D. eyng upon the people or this country.
 Today we see a relative. friend or an acquaintance apparently well. and in few days we may be Srleved to learn Of their serious illness, or sudden death, caused by that fatal type or Kidney trouble-Brights disease.
 Kidney trouble often becomes advanced into acute stages before the afflicted is aware of its presenCe; that Is why we read of so many sudden deaths of prom inent business and professional men, phy- sicians and others They have neglected to stop the leak in time
 While scientists are puzZling their brains to find out the cause, each individ- ual can, by a little precaution, avoid the char. ces of contracting dreaded and dan gerous kidney trouble, CT eradicate it completely from their system if already afflicted Many precious lives might have been, and many more can vet be saved, by paying attention to the kidneys.
 If is the mission of The Advertiser to benefit it's reader at every opportunity and there fore we advise all who have any symptoms of kidney of bladder trouble to write today to Dr. Kilmer x Co, Bing- hamton. N. Y, for a free sample bottle cf swamp-Root the celebrated specific which is having such a great demand and remarkable success in the cure of the most distressing kidney and bladder troubles With the sample bottle of Swamp Root will also be sent free pamphlet and treatise of valuable in- formation.

 One of the most singular cures for deaf ness ever recorded Is quoted by the In; dependence Beige from the Dutch papers. Nh old man of 10 living al Krommeme who had been deaf for twenty years. got involved in a dispute with some neigh DOTS. and became literally transformed with rage. In this semi demented state he suddenly recovered his hearing, which he has retained ever since.

ARE NOT ILLEGAL.
The Trade Check Question Has Been
Passed Upon by Court.

1t is stated that J. S. Dean, United
States district attorney, has made
ruling in which he holds that trade
checks, such as are in common use.
are illegal and that those issuing and
circulating them are violating the
counterfeit laws and subject to a fine
of $500 and Imprisonment of five years.
Mr.. Dean is at present in Michigan
The ruling is made at the request of a
resident of Wilson, Kas-, who wrote to
T. r. McManus. a United States secret
service man at Kansas City. McManus
referred the letter to Mr.. Dean, and it
is stated that Mr.. Dean has replied as
above stated.
It is not likely that on this ruling
trade checks will cease to circulate in
Topeka. Those who are using trade
checks in their business believe that
they are within the law and say that
the matter was fully tested in the case
of the United States VS.. C. H. Hanson,
a manufacturer of trade checks. In this
case Judge Grosscup held as follows:
Il do not think that there is any re-
semblance between any of these metal
pieces and any of the coins Of the
United States. therefore there is no
counterfeiting- and no semblance al
counterfeiting. IF a token means some
thing issued in the semblance of a
of metal do not fall within the defini-
ton.
MY own belief is that the purpose OF
this statute would look to the forbidding
of the issuance of any metal pieces thai
SO resemble the coin of the United
States. I think that there must be
some points of resemblance. I do not
know why a merchant may not issue
a pasteboard check, and if so, a meta,
check, announcing that they stand as
good at his counter for certain amount
of GOODS
1t may be that ]. S. Deans ruling
was on some particular form of trade
checks which closely resemblede money

Commander McCrea Reports on Con-
ditions at Cape Haytien.

Washington. Aug. 16.-The navy de-
partment today received mail report
from Commander McCrea OF the gun
boat Machias, dated Cape Hayden, July
3D. detailing the conditions as he found
them upon his arrival. The report is as
follows:
1.-The arrival of the ship was considered
very oppOrtune as an attack by land
and sea was considered imminent. 1
called on the provisional governor, who
IS also secretary for war il the prOviS-
ional cabinet. He told me he was too
much engaged as governor and partic-
ularly in the field to return my visit
at once, but would be glad to do so if
we remained here long enough. He also
declared he did not consider foreign in
tereStS menaced, also that there must be
an end to this movement very soon.
The movement itself he could not very
clearly explain for the reason that his
own advices We're very meager and UNI
reliable.
Il told the consul to communicate to
the foreign consulS that would object
to any bombardment by the rebel ships
without due notice. There are no inn
portant American interests existing at
this place. Business is at a standstill
"On the 31st 1 called again on the
governor He told me he had received
a large consignment of arms and am
munition and would Immediately ad-
vance against the enemy. To my ques-
ton, do you know of any antagonism
against the foreign consuls or mer-
chants by the lower classes of cltizens?'
he replied: No 1 do not think it ex-
lists We then entered into an arrange
ment by which he was to inform me, by
a signal, of his retreat, which case I
agreed to land and protect embarkation
of foreigners, in case l considered it
necessary. He reiterated the statement
that a man of war in the harbor now
was most welcome and necessary as it
prevented a bombardment and preserved
the peace of the city,
