German Audience.

Funny Tale Lost on Non-Appreciative
German Audience.
Col Adolphus Busch, who has been
doing some booming as a member OF
the st. Louis Exposition exploiting
committee, tells the following story:
Last summer when l went to Eu-
rope | took along my head brewer,
whose admiration for his adopted
country is only equaled by his desire
to appear thoroughly Americanized.
Together we visited his native town in
Germany, where he was made much
of. Of course they had 'kommers,'
and my companion took the oppor-
tunity to endeavor to make a speech
after the American style, but in the
German language, of course. He start
ed out boldly, though he is no public
speaker, and got along fairly we'll I'M
til he attempted the funny story which
he knew should accompany every
American speech worthy the name. IL
was funny, assure you, as he told it,
but his hearers were too well-man-
nered to laugh at their fellow-towns-
man, and so it fell fiat. Discouraged
and disguised by this lack Of appre-
citation of American humor, he drop
ped heavily into his chair, and, lean
ing across the table, whispered hoarse-
ly to me:

"Well, spring has come at last"
yawningly said the Old Codger, rs he
sat in his back-tilted chair with his
feet comfortably placed on the railing
of the veranda. "The grass is comm
up, the trees are buddin', the boys are
fightin' in the streets every day, the
sweet scent of the what's-its-name is
in the air, the so-and-so's are swingin'
and singin' on the swayin' boughs, the
clatter of the borrowed lawn mower Is
beginnin' to be heard in the land, and
the coal dealer commences to treat his
fellow-rnen like equals.

Washington (SpeciaD.-A cable mes
sage was received at the State Depart
ment from Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, head OF
the special embassy to the coronation
giving most favorable account OF the
condition of King Edward VII. He
says that the physicians attending the
King anticipate his rapid recovery; Mr..
Reid says among those entirely tamil,
lar with the case it is well understood
that there is no foundation for alarming
reports that the King has cancer or
any serious throat or stomach trouble
According to Mr.. Reid, the strength,
nerves and sound blood of the King are
all in his favor. A most favorable
symptom in his case is that he has
been taking solid food.

see the greater part or the small room,
but no trace Of human being beside
himself.
After the lapse of a few minutes it
occurred to him that the intruder
might have concealed himself in cup
board which filled the recess between
the wall and the fireplace on the other
side of the bed. Trusting to his own
nimbleness to prevent the escape Of
the thief he climbed quickly over the
bed, and had his hand on the cupboard
door when a sound behind him caused
him to turn his head just in time to
see the door of the room flung open
by the shadowy figure, who must have
been in hiding under the bed.
The detective sprang to the Goor,
and caught the disappearing figure by
the arm. Instantly it was as still as
g statue.
"Now 1 have got you" cried the de-
tcctive between his teeth. Lets have
look at YOU"
Still holding the arm in a firm grip
he struck fusee from case he found
in his handieSt pocket. Before he
could distinguish anything, however,
the light was promptly blown out by
his prisoner, who began to struggle
violently. Still holding the glowing
fusee he tried. while holding his cap
tive, to distinguish her features ny ths
l.
herself she flung the back Of one i'm
prisoned hand right upon the fusee,
and uttered short cry Of pain. The
next moment, by q deXterous twist,
she lad Wrenchcd herself away.
The next thing of which the detec-
tive was conscious was that there was
a sound like q fall at the bottom Of
the stairs, and then the back door was
opened and shut again with bang.

In England the boys-and some
times grown men-have a very funny
way of catching fish.
You would never guess what 1t Is.

eff.
It was an English boy who told me
about it.
"You must catch goose he said,
land that is the hardest part. Then
you tie line which has baited hook
on one end to the goose's leg.
"Then let her go. She'll make f.:
the water every shot, and as she
swims about she, Of course, draws
hook and line after her.
pretty soon a fish bites and maybe
gets hooked.
"Then the goose feels. something
Juggling at her leg, and she swims
along about as hard as she can, but
this only makes the tugging worse.
The only way to get away from that
awful something, she thirks, is to get
out of the water.

The act of Gov. Jefferson Davis OF
Arkansas in pardoning a negro con-
Wet on condition that he should be-

Military Authorities at Fort
 Davis Send Them Food.
PLENTY OF SEALS
,The Natives, It Is SaiG, Were Not in
 as Bad Condition as Was Reported,
 for, While There Is No -Tomcod,
 Seals Are Plentiful.

The military authorities at For, Davis are issuing provisions for the use of the natives along the coast in such quantities as are needed.
 Recently it was reported that mum Der of natives, mostly women and chil dren, at village inst east of Cape Nome, were without food. As soon a. the natter became kRownat Fort Davis .rations, consisting of bacon, flour, bean. and rice were at once forwarded tc them.
 The natives of other places were notified to report at the post for such rations as they needed. In this way many have been succored already, al though it is claimed that the Eskimss are not es badly off as has been stated. While there is no tomcod, the natives are catching plenty of seals, and as long,as they can do this there is little danger of them starving.
 Glenn NJ. Cole formerly in charge o1 the telegraph office at Port Safety who is now in Nome, investigated thr condition of the natives along the coast between Nome and Port Safety and he said that there was no danger Of these people starving. Seals are plentiful, if tOmcod are not, and the native knows how to catch seals.

Whiskey Discovered in a Cave

Nothing too good for the patrons of Board of Trade. Just received D bar rels of MOOnshine corn whiskey that was made in 1870 by Harris Tyson in the Blue Ridge mountain district of North Carolina and being made contrary to law was hid in cave to prevent the government from collecting the rev enue. He stored 800 barrels in this cave. Some ten years later he was killed by revenue officer and the whiskey was forgotten, until 1900 when his son, Harris Tyson, Jr., discovered the entrance to this cave and entered for half mile when he was attracted by a very pleasant OdOr. Having a desire to locate the OdOr he continued q little further where he discovered d pile. of half decayed slaves and iron hoops and a short distance ahead he came to small lake and on examining it he found it to be whiskey. It had been put up in barrels with iron hoops which had rusted and broke and let the whiskey out and it formed this lake. He immediately set up distill- cry aad refined the whiskey, getting only 90 barrels out of the. original 800. It is as pure.as whiskey can be made, being made from white flint corn and pure mountain water and has never passed through the hands Of any Jew rectitier c,wnOlesale dealers. Try 1t ,stfaight Ur as d hot toddy and you will say iJ is the proper th.ng. We also handle Duff Gordon sherry, vintage 1885; o.

WILL BE KING OF ALL
c. VI. SCHwAB TO REIGN OVER CON-
sTITUENT COMPANIES.
All Concerns Composing the United
States Steel Corporation to Be
Merged Into One.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 21.-The reorgan-
ization of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, the obliteration of the names of the
constituent corporations of the greater one,
the changing of it's purposes from a purely
financial concern to an operating and man
ufacturing company, which shall operate
directly all the properties now owned and
controlled by it, is the latest project of the
financial and manufacturing giants at the
head of this enterprise 1t was learned to-
night from excellent authority that the
project is TO be launched during the present
year. In short, the United States Steel
Corporation will become the practical and
actual manufacturing corporation, as well
as financial head OF all the great steel COM
panies that it absorbed President Charles
NJ. Schwab will become the director of all
mills, railroads, coal and coke plants,
steamship lines and furnaces. All of the
various branches of the corporation will
be divided into departments and the con-
stituent companies will lose their identity
The buying and selling of the corporation
will be under a single department, with the
individual purchasing departments left in
the hands of different members of the\cm-
mittee. 1t is understood that the same Of
ficialS will control the general company
with the same board of directors and exec
utive committee and the officials of the OPP
Grating department
Upon President Schwab will devolve, UNI
der the new conditions, the bringing into
complete harmony and union all of the in
terests now separated by the previous con-
struction of the United States Steel Cor
change is understood to be intended TO take
place about July of this year.

KO.WE.BAS NOW in FRONT
MADE HIGH TOTAL IN OPENING OF
THE STATE TOURNAMENT.
They Rolled 2,715 in Three Games
Second Marion Team is Second
Scores of Eight Clubs.

The state bowling tournament opened at
the Marion alleys last night and all the
available space was occupied by spectators
and bowlers. Eight teams bowled during
the evening and although the tournament
opened at o'clock it was after midnight
before the last men finished bowling. The
crowd took great interest in the bowling.
and cheered the many good spare shots
that were made during the evening. AS a
rule most of the bowlers were erratic in
their work and did not maintain a good
average in the three games. Many of the
bowlers became careless when they real
lied that their team was not within the
money. The total pins for the three games
will determine the winners in the state
tournament.
The Ko-We-Bas bowled the most consist
ent game last night and in the three games
piled up a total of 2,7i5, their high score
being 96S in the second game. They also
rolled 902 in the last game. Potters scores
OF PIP and 22S and G. Muellers score of 221
helped in the big totals. The Marion sec
ond team stood second in the evening s
work with a total score of 2575 The
Washington team was third with 2523 1t
is believed, however, that the KO-We-Bas
are the only bowlers who played last night
that will come near the money in the five
men team contests. The schedule for this
evening is as follows:
p. m, Ramblers, first, alley /; Capital
Citys, alley 2; Buffaloes, alley 3; Marions,
nrSt, alley 4. $3.50 p. m, Crescents, alley J.
The scores last night follow:
