FEE WAS EXCESSIVE NEGRO PENSION AGENT UNDER
 ARREST It is Charged by Another Negro That John P. Jordan Retained Money Collected-Bond
 Fixed at $500.

John P. Jorian, well known negro. Sti eet. was arrested yesterday morning by Deputy United States Marshal H. H. McI.emOre on warrant sworn out by Randall Zeigler, an aged negro of Pratt vile. charging Jordan with receiving and retaining pension money and charging an excessive attorneys fee.
 Commissioner J. A. Elmore fixed Jor- dans bond at $500 and it was signed by John H. Clisby and Winter Thorington. lie will have q preliminary hearing be- fore Commissioner ElmOre Monday morn- ing at 10 o'clock.
 Randall Zeigler was a soldier in the Federal army during the war between the States and has been drawing a pen sion from the government several years. Ii is said that the pension was recently increased through the efforts of Jordan acting as agent for Zeigler. The revised statutes provide that an attorney cannot collect more than Sl0 for representing client in the collection of a pension. Zeig- Ter claims that Jordan received a check for about $lUU and withheld $9S30 of this amount as a fee.
 Jordan. on the other hand contends that he did not charge Zeigler a fee hut that Zeigler presented him with the money as a token of his appreciation.
 Federal officers say ahat Jordan has been more or less identified with pension claims for many years and that they have kept an eye on his methods.
 Jordan is the negro who undertook to promote a negro fair in Montgomery last summer.

Paintings by the Yard.

Harper weekly.
 Is the American spirit of commercial ism invading even the English market off artistic wares? A poets recent ad- vertisement in The London Daily News, seeking a speculativ purchaser for translucent. attractive and apothegmat- ic." lyric has already aroused some com ment. and now they appear to be selling the paintings of the leading contempora- ry artists by the square inch. The an nouncement of a sale at Christie's says that a painting by the late T. S. Cooper, entitled Sheep Shearing." and measu- ring 4sx72 inches. was sold for BIO guin- eas. while another. representing Six Cows on the Bank of a River" and measuring 2sxA inches. painted in 1871. brought 300 guineAs. This is interesting. It seems to indicate that godd painting is worth something between 90 cents and q 35 per square inch in London; while estimated as live stock, the six cows in the latter picture appear to have been valued at 50 guineae each, despite their advanced age. which precludes the pos sibility of their being useful for other purposes than landscape ornaments although this Is perhaps minimizing the value of the riparian rights along the river. What a wealth of conjecture these facts suggest, Think of the prices that some of the enormous Munkacsy can vases would bring if sold on this basis, and of the possible value of Rosa Bon- heur's "The Horse Fair"-With stallions at Tattersall pricesl Let the artist re- member to stretch his canvass wide enough or he be an animal painter. to nut in sufficient number of marketable beasts, and there will speedily be an end of the cry of the underpayment of artis- tic eudeavor.

TWO GREAT CITIES.
Sydney Bids Fair to the Largest City
 of Australia.

Melbourne has always been the largest city in Australia. In its phenomenal Chicago and San Francisco. In 1885 it had a name and fourteen inhabitants; in 1896 it contained 45l.0 persons. Gold made Melbourne. For ten consecutive years the gold mines from sixty to 100 miles. to the north and northwest pro- duced over $50,000000 of gold every year. The many thousands of men required to mine this treasure bought their sup plies in Melbourne and spent their money there. The city faced to the north. where the mines were: It's back door was on the sea
 But the gold mines of Melbourne have lost thelr all importance. They are still productive, but their yield is far inferior Australia. Melbourne Is slowly losing the largest resource that made her great, and the wool and wheat trade is not likely to fully compensate her for tho declining mining interests. The city was said in 1891 to have 400.s population. ii- cludinR the suburbs Five years later only 451.000 persons were counted in the city and environs.
 only temporary. for Victoria is very rich little state. Many miners have been drawn away by more fattering, prospects els ,wherA, but trey will gradually be replaced by permanent settlers.
 The great city, however. seems 6es- tined to loose its pre-eninence. Sydney Is steadily increasing in population: by the last census it was only 42OOo under Mtlbournes figures. Sydney is growing while Melbourne Is scarcely holding her own. There are a number of reasons why Sydney will ~-obably forge ahead end permanently maintain its lead among Australian cities
 One reason Is because Sydney is on the east coast where the largest population and the greatest development of indus tries are found. Vessels in the foreign trade cannot visit all the lively. little ports along this coast and so Sydney Is a forwarding and receiving port for the trade of that entire coast Melbourne commerce on the other hand. is largely confined to the little State of N.ctorla. It is not a great distributory and in this respect Sydney has the advantage.
 Then, again, sydney faces the Paclhc Ocean with it's myriad islands. whose in- haibtants for 2,000 miles, carry on more or less trade with the capital Of New South Wales; but Melbourne faces the Southern Indian coast. which Is destitute of islands, and therefore the capital Of Victoria has no island trade.
 Another factor to the advantage Of SYd- rey IS that the immense coal fields Of Australia are at her very doors and fuel is thus very easily and cheaply obtained to feed her growing industries Coal must be carried longer distance to Mel bourne and thus her industries are placed at a slight disadvantage
 These are the most important reasons why Sydney has at last became the ter minal point of all the steamship lines In the Australian foreign trade an why If Is Nkelv to take its place at the head of Australian cities.

carelessness on Railroads.

Cleveland Leader
 If must be confessed that the injuries received in railway work in this country relatively to the army of trainmen em- ployed, are far more numerous than they ought to be. There Is evidence In the bare figures of much gross carelessness. ana If is painfully apparent that the man aRers of great railways are often too inte 1t upon earnings and too little mind ful of the lives and limbs of the men who operate their lines. In this direc- tior, there Is room for vast improvement. and the progress made recently has been miseSably slow. .
