Berger's Territorial band played
''Auld Lang Syne" with vengeance
yesterday. He was playing off his old
time friend, the steamer Zealandia, but
the zealandia did not have the crowds
that formerly watched the coming and
going Of that vessel. She had but four
cabin passengers, although there were
seventy-fve in her steerage.
The Zealandia got away promptly on
time with a good cargo consisting of
sugar, coffee, bananas, and general
goods. She was loaded deep aft, but
not very deep forward, and it is said
that as she can make better speed un-
der these conditions she may make q
quick trip to San Francisco.

Billie really has another month to stay
at sea without making her agents here
anxious for her. The vessel is out
about 100 days from Hamburg, but it
seems that after leaving the German
port she went to Leith to finish loading
and did not leave the latter port until
July S, so that her agents do not expect
to see her before December /, and pos
sibly much later, in case she has had
a rough passage

Peggy Gets A Peggy, t h g
Lesson In Manners. younger of the
greenhouse familiars, was run
over by light delivery sleigh one
afternoon last week and since then
has been more retired and demure
than at any previous time in her
short life. Sinbad says Peggy
derives her hoydenish manners
from her father and also her fond
ness for slang and gay company.
There is nothing really wrong
about her, he says, except an ex-
huberance of youthful spirits and
certain lack of balance which he
thinks will come right with years.
Gypsy, Peggy's mother, is quite
different from Peggy. She is an
earnest dog. She feels the re-
sponsibilities Of life. Her mani
fold duties have given her a pen
sive manner, which, according to
Sinbad, Peggy will never cultivate.
Gypsy is constantly occupied in
killing rats, catching sparrows,
overseeing the greenhouse and
raising children. In fact, even
now her spare time is occupied in
featherstitching an entire new
wardrobe, which, considering Peg
gy's age, proves her provident and
far-sighted disposition. AS for
sitting on the lap Of a stranger, a
mere suggestion Of such thing
would 'bring the blush of shame
to her cheek" In all her life she
has kissed only two men.
Peggy, on the other hand, has
heretofore been something Of a
coquette, showing a Willingness
to associate with anybody that
would buy supper for her, and
even going SO far as to solicit the
attention of prisoners on the street
by catching them by the trousers
legs. Sinbad says she has never
actually kept late hours, nor has
she INDUCED in vinuous liquors,
but more than once she has
brought home some cigarettes
with the proposition that she and
Jimmy smoke them in comfort
after the bell rings. Jimmy is, of
course, her steady company. She
lies on his coat while he works
and subdues the desire to firt
with others while he is about.
Since her accident last week
Peggy has been much more gen.
teel in her manners. She has
stopped barking at wagons and
has even refrained from side-long
glances at strangers. Painful as
the occurrence was, Sinbad says
it will make::a dog of her and ben
eft her in the long run.

little warm under the collar and ex-
claimed: "You told me that once, and
if you don't think I'm honest I'll give
you receipt for your old ten cents"
Swede looks at her and goes out the
door. In few minutes he returns
with one of his countrymen, who ex-
plains: "This gentleman would like

FlTZ JOHN PORTER
Hearing Given to Bill Providing
That Pay Be Given

(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2o.-A
sequel to the famous titzjohn Porter
case came before the House Committee
or Military Affairs to-day when a hear
ing was given on the bill authorizing
the Secretary of War to compute the
amount of pay and allowances Of the
General during the period of his en-
forced retirement from the army and
making appropriations Of the amount for
his wodow and children.
The hearing was attended by several
Of" General Porter the recomnenda-
arms and by his daughter and sons.
When, at the instance Of General Grant,
an army board passed upon the case
OF General Porters old comrades IN
ton was made that he be restored to
rank and pay. According on this. Con-
gress in 1856 restored the General to
his rank but there was no restoration
c.t the pay during the long period that
he was out Of the army. It was stated
at the hsaiing to-day that the present
measure was a simple act OF justice to
the family who had suffered along with
the General during the tWenty-three
years he was in retirement
his time, it was stated. General Por-
ter had given most OF his time and
means to clearing his good name, being
ma bic to max provision for the future
If him: el.. and family. General Cl-iles
c. Sawtelle who served with General
Porter, paid tribute to his bravery
ana ability as soldier.
General w. w. Dudley. who serv:d
.1.,rs er2 Porter at the second battle Of
.Pyil Run, also testified to his character
ss a spld:er and commanding officer.
General Dudley pointed out that the.
l,re Gamble of the act restoring General
Porter to the army recited tn. the purpose
~ do Justice to him, and that the restor-
alton Of pay was but a part Of the J''s-
tico In the case.

while silver jonquil shaded candlesticks
were seen here and there, making a soft

are few of the adjective applied to this
bombshell. The anti-monopoly role as
sumed by the American side has brought
them the adherence of a number of int1u-
entail retailers, who were opposed to the
Imperial Tobacco Company's boycott.
and already one firm, owning many
stores in the metropolis, has posted no
tices of its refusal to exclude American
goods and of it's intention to discontinue
selling Imperial brands.
Ogden's (Limited) to-day sent out
10000 telegrams from their Liverpool
headquarters, carrying the announcement
of their offer to every tobacco tradesman
in England. The fact that Ogden's bust

are expected to expend in bonuses
