A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press relates an incident of life in the
American metropolis that would have
appealed with irresistible force to the
heart of Charles Dickens. A gentle
man, very well known in the theatrical
world, noticed a ragged and wistful
boy standing in the sweltering heat
at the foot of Twenty-second street
looking with longing eyes at the Coney
Island steamboat, which was Don to
start ON one of her trips. On the i'm
pulse of the moment the gentleman
bought a ticket and handed it and a
quarter to the Respondent mite. "It
must have been gratifying to the donor
to see that boys face" writes the cor
respondent. "He seemed to be fairly
on the point of explosion. with happi-
ness. He mounted the capstan, and,
oblivious to everything and everybody.
he broke forth into the chorus Of
When You Have Time and Money
The effect upon the observers was in
describable; but the youngster, who'll
" Indifferent to, or unconscious Of,
the sensation of which he was the CEN
tire, went on singing of the delights of
life when you have time and money,
one arm clinging to the capstan and
one soiled hand clasped over the
pocket where lay his unexpected for
tune of twenty-five cents"

Tipping the Waiter.

The matter involved in the custom of
tipping is not one of recompense at all.
1t Is rather one of snobbery. The ay-
erage mar or woman does not tip from
motives of charity. Painful as the adj
mission may be, the fact remains that
personal vanity is behind most tips. A
man may delude himself with the no.
ton that he is paying for better sery-
ice. But he isn't. He is In reality
parting with his coin in return for the
humble smirk and the obsequious bow
-or what passes current for them. He
Is purchasing the privilege of patroniz-
ing a fellow human being. He is bar
tering for a public acknowledgment in
pantomime Of his superiority of clay.
He feeds his stomach and his vanity
at the one sitting, but pays the bills
separately. The object of his munif-
cence may or may not be worthy-of
this he knows little and cares less.
What he really seeks Is the reputation
Of quality" Of afluence and of being
a "good fellow" These are the sweet
morsels to his mental appetite-such as
1t is. Remove the Snobbery and there
would be no more tips.-Denver (Col.)

CONDITION. OF THE CROPS.
Favorable Reports From All Sections Of
the Country.

Favorable Reports From All Sections Of
the Country.
New York City.-The weekly crop re-
port to Dun's Review from all parts of
the United States indicate generally
favorable conditions, except for cotton
in Texas. The sensational reports re-
garding injury to early cotton in that
State by boil weevil are partially con-
irmed. The plant is reported in good
condition, however, and still blooming,
and with favorable weather in the fall
there should be a good late crop.
In other sections of the South con-
ditions are particularly favorable. Re-
ports from Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, all important States. indicate
a large yield. The crop is generally
well ffulted and the Giant is making
very rapid grown. In South Carolina
the crop is maturing rapidly.
Corn is now growing rapidly in near
~ all sections of the Middle West. The
weather has been warmer, especially at
night, and there is ample moisture ex-
cept i'll Southern Ohio and in parts OF
Indiana, but rain is not now so essen
tial to corn. In Illinois the plant is
developing very rapidly, and only an
early frost can prevent a good yield.
IN Nebraska corn is ripening very fast.
Other crops continue to grow well.
Buckwheat in New York is filling well
and in Michigan the acreage is very
large.

STARVING MEN MARCH
Foodless Miners in Alaska Trying to
Reach Yukon River.
Some Fall With All Hope Of succor Gone
But Arc Saved just in Time
"A Relief Expedition.

Tacoma, Wash.-Two hundred food
less men are attempting to cross the
Alaskan divide and make a 5OO-mile
journey through the wilderness on Ma
zina River and the CopperSRiver Val
ley to Tanana Valley and the Yukon
River.
Ihese miners joined a stampede to
Nazina last spring, and finding there
only shallow placers. determined to
push on to Yukon. Most of them sold
their outfits, understanding that sup-
plies could be purchased at several
posts III Tanana Valley. In this belief
they were mistaken. Walsh & Law
renee. owners Of the trading post at
Tanana Crossing, had only a small
stock, and most of this they gave to
the Impoverished miners as thew
passed along.
News OF the mems destitute condi-
ton was carried to Fort Egbert, on the
Yukon. by Henry Bratnober, Of San
francisco, a noted mining expert, who
represents the R0thschild family in
this country. Bratnober saved three
men from starvation. and urgently rec
commended to Captain Perkins at Fort
Egbert that he send a military relief
expedition to- the rescue OF the foodless
miners, whose number was stated to
BratnOber to be not less than 200.
Captain Perkins Immediately wired
Washington for authority, and is pre-
sumed by this time to have dispatched
a detachment of soldiers with supplies
to the Upper Tanana Valley.
The men rescued by Bratnober were
+. A. Retig, of Delano, II. Y; William
krahm. of Baltimore, and Henry Beh-
rens, of New York City.
When BratnOber reached them these
men were lying down exhausted in a
small tent, being too weak to move and
scarcely able to speak. For several
weeks they had lived on berries. Brat
nober furnished them with provisions
from his pack train and inquired re-
sarding others along the trail.
Retig has spent two years in stam-
pedes to Koyukuk, Nome and Nazina.
He formerly lived in philadelphia.
Bratnobers is known as the most con-
sentative mining man in the West.
He said at Dawson that without doubt
many will perish unless assistance
reaches them. and he fears some al.
ready have died of starvation. He
praises very highly the generosity Of
Walsh and Lawrence, who gave away
their stock, though provisions were
worth 81 per pound.

CALEB POWERS SENTENCED
Thrice Convicted Murderer Of Gov
ernor GoebeI to Be Hanged.
DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURTROOM

Realized That His Work For Ven.
demned Man Once the Secretary Of
State of Kentucky.
Georgetown, Ky.-Caleb Powers. for
merly Secretary Of State of Kentucky,
was convicted for the third time Of the
murder of Governor Goebel and sen.
fenced to death.
Judge Robbins overruled a motion
for a new trial and fixed November %
next as the day for the execution.
At his two previous trials, which
were reversed by the Court Of Appeals,
Powers was sentenced to life imprison
ment.
Powers counsel permitted him to
make a speech to the jury in this case.
He made an impassionad appeal to
them, declaring that he was innocent
of the murder Of Goebel and had no
knowledge of it. Those who heard
Powers speech thought it would have
considerable effect on the jury, but this
proved to be untrue. The jury retired
and soon brought in a verdict of guilty
as charged. Caleb Powers, like the
man of iron he has proved himself
through all his trials, received the YER
dict without emotion. When the jury
went out he was sitting chatting with
friends, and aside from giancing up as
the jurymen filed out, made no move.
After this cursory glance he turned
to his companions and resumed his con
versation. ITS an unjust verdict, not
warranted by the evidence" declared
Powers. Il shall certainly appeal
again"
Arthur Goebel, a younger brother of
the murdered Governor, has spent prac-
tically the whole of the last three years
working on the case, and it is largely
to his efforts that the confessions Of
others implicated in the murder were
secured. He collapsed under the strain
when the verdict was announced. He
has sworn that he will do nothing until
his brothers murder is avenged by tie
law. Immediately after the conviction
and sentence Of Powers he SEM this
telegram to a brother who is in the
West:
Powers trial ended. Sentenced to
death,
At the two former trials, which took
place here, Judge Cantrell presided.
For this trial, however, Governor Beck
IAN appointed Special Judge Robbins.
From him the attorney for the defend
ant secured the granting Of an appeal
for the case to the Kentucky Court Of
Appeals. 1t was this court, when COM
posed of Republicans, that twice
granted new trials for Powers. The
court is now Democratic. Should it re-
fuse to grant a new trial the counsel
for p defense may try-to get the Uni
ted States Supreme Court to take the
case under consideration.
Powers was removed to the Scott
County Jail Immediately after sentence
Was passed, to be held there pending
the appeal Of his case to the higher
courts. A telegram from Indianapolis
states that former Governor W. s. Tay-
Tor said: This verdict affects me very
much. l cannot say a word"
