The Editor Know His Business.

The late Frank Stockton like 9TH
ers who subsequently became emf
nent as novelists, set in to be poet.
OF his efforts in poetry the Boston
Transcript tells this interesting
story: TN conjunction with his
brother John, he wrote many poems
with which he afflicted the editors
of various periodicals. The effu-
sions came back always. The edit
or of one magazine was an especial
target OF the Stocktons, but as mona
of their poems were ever accepted,
the brothers came to the conclusion
that this editor had no conception
OF good poetry. To prove their
Selief they hunted up and dis
patched to him an ode little known
from Milton. Within two days
they received a check and a letter
Of thanks. I came to the conclu-
sion that the editor knew poetry
when he saw It, after all" Mr.,
Stockton used to say. and gave

CommondsbIe Custom.

A custom is becoming popular
among Chicago banks of distrib-
uting money gifts to employees
whenever the institution is alb
sorbed by another. The Mer-

some time ago on being CONSOLE
dated with the Corn Exchange
Bank, and now the Metropolitan
National distributes 100000
among its officers, clerks and en-
ployes generally on the occasion
OF being merged with the First
National Bank. Something like
$4,000 goes to the cashier, $Io,-
900 to the assistant cashier, So 900
to the head clerk, from $1,000 to
ST. 900 to the tellers and heads of
departments, according to length
Of service $500 to the lesser cler-
ical lights, and $500 to the jan
itor, who served the bank many
years. Some of these individual
sums, gratuitously distributed,
would be regarded by many peo-
pie as a handsome life accumula-
ton.

Miss Hadley's Entertainment.

1t is rare occurrence for an un.
professional entertainment in
San Angelo to draw anything
more than a meagre house. The
fact that Miss Hadley's of Tues.
day night, last week, at the opera
house, was before well
filled one, was evidence that
something out of the ordinary
was expected, and the enthusiasts
tic applause that was accorded
throughout was proof that the en-
tire audience was fully pleased
and satisfied.
The Press congratulates Miss
Hadley on her unqualified and
unvarying successes. She takes
pains and pride in her work, and
all her efforts are marked with
that perseverance, without which,
there can be no success. Her
patrons, too, are proud of her, as
they have abundant cause to be,
and her pupils "just love her"

OBJECT TO MEETING
MORE TROUBLE IN FIGHTING
SEVENTH.
The Factions In the Troublesome Fifth
District Precinct Quarrel over a Call
For a Meeting.

There was trouble among the politi-
clans Of the Fifth District this morn
ing over the call issued by Judge Will
cox, for meeting Of the Precinct Club
OF the Fighting Seventh" this even
ing, TO consiuer the recommendation of
candidates to the District Convention.
Wilcox call placed the object of the
meeting as The consideration of reso-
lutions adopted by the District Com
mittee, August 26, 1902 the recon-
mendation of candidates to the COM
mittee and other objects for the pro-
gression of the Republican party for
the next campaign"
When the Lane Huddy side of the
party heard the call they proceeded to
declare it contrary to the rules of the
party. They did not want to recon-
mend candidates at this time, and de-
manded that the call be resCinded. A
set of resolutions was made up, declar-
ing that the meeting was premature
AID the call was contrary to the rules
for clubs action as made by the con-
vention and central committee Of the
Republican party.
This morning the objectors vigorous
ly circulated their resolution, and there
was a lot of caucussing and discussion
among the political warriors of the
troublesome seventh, over the demand
that the call of a meeting be with
drawn. Judge Wilcox was appealed 10,
and the kickers threatened to come out
with resolutions of denunCiatiUn if
their demands were not acceeded to.
They declared that they would not at

they would split the CLUB, and take in

THE SUGAR COLONIES

LONDON, August 18.-The West In
dia committee has published the reply
of Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial
Secretary to the deputation of the ISL
and of Trinidad which recently inter-
viewed him on the subject of the ina
dequacy of the relief which the Gov
ernment is giving the islanders. Cham
berlain declared that any increase of
the sum Gel, ,250000) voted by Parlia-
ment was out of the question, and that
he could hold out no hope of a similar
grant in 1903. If, however, the sugar
industry there required further aid he
would consider raising in the colonies
money to be advanced to the planters
on easy terms. He had no fears re-
garding the ratification of the Brussels
convention, but if, through some un-
forseen cause, it was not ratified, ef-
fectiVe measures would be taken to
safeguard the interests of the sugar
industries of the British West Indies.
