MAY LOSE SHIP SUBSIDY.
British Admiralty May Withdraw 1t
From Lines in Combine.

London, April 24.-In the House of
Commons to-day the Secretary of the
Admiralty was considering the whole
matter of ship subsidies, with the view
of defining the rights of the admiralty
in the event of contingencies arising,
such as the suggested shipping com
bine When the present form of agree
ment was settled upon, no trade COM
binations under foreign control were
contemplated; but, the admiralty had
appointed a committee to consider and
report on the purpose and form of flu
ture subsidy agreements. The admir-
alty in the meantime had made ar
rangements with the White Star Line,
which preclude the possibility of any
of their armed cruisers or merchant
steamers being transferred to for
eign flag without the consent of the
admiralty during the uneXpired por-
tion of the admiralty agreement.
IT was said this afternoon that the
nosition of the Cunard and other
steamship companies in standing out
from the Atlantic combine was to some
extent due to the action of the adj
miralty as outlined by Mr.. Arnold

stitution-Thos. p. stone of Waco
Elected COmmander-in-Chi
Dallas, Tex, April PA spirited
meeting of the United Sons of Con-
federate Veterans to-day resulted in
amending the constitution of the or
ganization and the election of Thomas

der-in-chief Other commanders were
elected as follows:
Army of Northern Virginia, Jessie N.
Gathright of Louisville, Ky.
Army Of Tennessee, N. d. Forest of
Memphis, Tenn.
Army of the trans Mississippi, DIR.
w. d. Buckner of Arkansas.
The constitution was amended to ex-
clude the use by officers of the organi-
cation of military titles used by Con-
federate veterans.
Thus MIR. Stone is commander-in-
chief, but will not be allowed the title
of general.
A motion to amend the constitution
in way which it is said would prac-
tically let down the bars in regard to
receiving new members was voted
down.
A uniform of Confederate gray with
shoulder knots on field of white was
adopted.
In the contest for commander-in-
chief the name of Bishop Gailor OF
Memphis was not presented, as he re-
fused absolutely to run unless assur-
ed beforehand that there would be no
contest This left the fight between
Mr.. Stone and w. Mcclellan Fayssoux
of New Orleans. After the first ballot,
which was considerably in Mr.. Stones
favor, the New-Orleans man, in neat
speech, withdrew his name, and Mr..
Stones election was made unanimous.

member of Jefferson Davis cabinet,
was a guest at the meeting, and made
a speech on political economy, which

Montana Was Too Swift.
Washington, April 24.-When Senator
Clark of Montana arrived at the Sem
ate Annex to-day in his automobile he
was interviewed by two bicycle police
men, who had been following him.

ceeding the speed limit of twelve miles
an hour. The Senator declared that
he had not been going more than ten
miles an hour. The officers requested
that the chauffeur appear at the Police
Court tomorrow morning and the Sem
ator announced that he would do so.

not intend to be subjected to unneces-
sary annoyances and would fight the

Of bacon is chopped up into bits as
small as possible and these bits are
stuck. about an inch apart. into the

the process the bacon fat melts.
When the bread is done, says the
Philadelphia Record, it has a peculiar
and delightful flavor. The bacon gives
It a taste much better than that of
ordinary cornbread and hunters say
they never tire Of 1t. A restaurateur
who would prepare cornbread in this
manner would make a great hit with
hunters and others of plain tastes.

Brisk Trade In Human Hair.

There is an ever-increasing trade
done in human hair, and number of
the peasant girls living in Belgium and
Brittany always can be persuaded to
part with their locks in exchange for
a small consideration and for this pur-
pose many dealers have agents travel
ing in these districts to beguile the
simple girls. Many people believe that
much Of the false hair sold at the pres
ent day is taken from the scalps of
dead women. This is, of course, ridic-
ulous, as the human hair after death
becomes too brittle to be twisted into
the forms demanded by fashion. To
say that much Of the hair disposed of
as human" at high prices is only cum
ningly manufactured imitation would
be more in accordance with the facts.
Marseilles is probably the headquar-
ters of the false hair trade, and 1t is
estimated that over forty thousand
pounds of the commodity are exported
annually from that town. Fully two
thirds Of this finds 1t way into Italy,
France being the second best GUS
toner.

THE eAMBLEas's REVENGE.

honest Fellow sport"

He Gets More Than Even with Dis
honest Yellow Sport"
The sporting men are whispering a
story of tragic interest which occurred
recently Ito use the expression) "in
their midst" says the New York Trib-
une. Two associates engaged a man
at cards and won some $500 from
him. He would not pay. but promised
to do SO in a few days. This offer
was satisfactory and was accepted, as
the man was known as good" A
few days later. while walking up town
for the purpose, he met one of them
and handed him the money. passing on
and meeting the other few blocks
away. He informed this one that he
had Just paid the other, and the gam
bier left In search of his associate to
obtain his division of the money.
which he happened to be badly in
need of just at the moment. Finding
his associate, he was astonished by
stout denial on the mans part that
there had been a settlement. Doubt
ing his associates statement, the
gambler proceeded to "do" him be-
fore he would "do" himself. He pro-
cured bottle of whisky tinctured
with Knockout drops, and induced
his acquaintance to accompany him to
his room in a well known sporting
hotel on the plea of discussing
proposition with him. AS soon as the
drugged whisky had done its work
he searched his insensible companion
and found the sum paid him secreted
in an inside vest pocket The gam
bier then hid the money under the car
pet, seated himself in chair near by,
and began reading the daily paper.
When the victim recovered and dis
covered his loss he promptly charged
the other with the robbery, admitting
the payment to account for his having
the money. Thereupon the other drew
a revolver and compelled his associate
to lead the way down stairs to the
barroom, where there was the usual
number of sports gathered at the
counter. In a few, not very choice,
but very forcible words he denounced
the offender to his acquaintances, and
then ordered him away, vowing that
II he found him in the city after
twenty-four hours he would shoot
him down like cur. AS he had a rec
ord for keeping his word, the other de-
cided not to test him, and left the
city for parts unknown, and his share
OF the money has been or will be paid
out by the possessor for the support
of the antiquated and unfortunate of
their number.

sorpents in England.

The modern serpent, as Prof. Hux-
ley remarked in his lectures many
years since, does not seem to have in
herited to the full the curse pro-
nounced upon its predecessor in the
Garden of Eden. One thing that the
serpent in its guile has not been able
to do is to colonize England to any
great extent, and Ireland 1t has never
reached at all. The combined efforts
OF IS. Patrick and Hilda, the latter
Of whom converted these creatures
into stony ammonites even at Whitby,
have cleansed the sister Isle from any
reptiles except lizards. England pos
sesses but three species of snakes and
at first sight, therefore, the material
for a whole volume seems trife ex-
iguous. The trio consists of the fell
adder or viper, the ubiquitous grass
snake and the less known smooth
snake. Naturally the first named ser
pent attracts the greatest amount of
interest, as 1t is the only poisonous
variety; and, besides, 1t has got an
adventitious and unnecessary interest
by reason of the legends that have cir
culated round its alleged habit of
swallowing its young for their good
in times of stress.

A Springfield (Mass.) bridal couple

cleverness. They went to the railroad
station by separate routes, and 1t was
also in their plan to get into separate
cars. The bridegroom comfortably To-
Gated in the smoker, and the bride
sought an inconspicuous seat in a pas

her furry got the wrong train, and un-
aware Of her mistake went on to Pitts

ingly north and arrived at Northanp-

A Paxchic Complica tion.

White nights are among the fiercest
terrors of men who are under mental
stress. To lie all through the dark
hours with faculties awake and lively
is to experience extreme misery. Some
thing new in white nights was re-
ported to an uptown physician this
week. His patient said: II am not get
ting much restoration Of tissue at night
nowadays. / go to bed early, sleep
straight ahead, and don't hurry about
rising. Yet l go to my bath worn and

During the king of Italy's soJourn at
Racconigi, an excursion was made in
his automobile to the Col di Nava.
Near the central fort he met an artil-
lery captain, of whom the king asked
various questions respecting the fort.

too searching. he politely but firmly re-
fused further information. Thereupon

moving his blue chauffeur spectacles

and captain were equally satisfied with
their encounter.-From the Italian Re-
