KNOWS LONG FIGHT.

Until the recent announcement that
an appeal from the decision of the Can
ada judge discharging Capt Greene
and Col. Gaynor had been granted, the
opinion was quite general among those
who felt an interest in the Greene and
Gaynor case that the government had
practically abandoned the effort TO
secure the return Of the fugitives. 1t
turns out that the character of Attor-
ney General Knox is not yet well
known. 1t is pretty well established
now, however, for persistency when
he undertakes to accomplish anything.
In Washington the opinion prevails
that is, in the Attorney Generals Of
fee, that Capt Greene apd Col Cay
nor will be returned to Savannah. The
dispatch which contained the infor-
nation that an appeal had been al
lowed also contained a statement to
the effect that the Lord Chancellor, in
granting the appeal, expressed the
| opinion that the offense with which
the fugitives are charged is clearly ex-
| traditable. Assuming that the Lord
Chancellor made that statement there
would seem to be no reason for Greene
and GaYnor to contest the case fur
Their. 1t will probably turn out, how
ever, that what the Lord Chancellor
said was not exactly that. But it is
pretty safe to assume that the deci
sion viii be in favor of the United
States. What course then will the
fugitives pursue? viii they seek an
other asylum?
1t is probable they have their plans
all laid. and no doubt the government
has it's plans also. If the fugitives
get away from Canada without the
knowledge of our government they will
have to exercise more than an ordi-
nary amount of shrewdness. Before
the decision of Judge Caron, making
Canada a safe asylum for them, 1t
was the general impression that if
the decision was against them they
would seek another land. 1t was said
that they thought of going to one of
the Central American states when
they left Savannah, but preferred
Canada. 1t is doubtful if they have
had much peace of mind since they
have been there.

The Car of Russia was one night
playing a game of whist at Homburg,
and his majesty, the King, at that
time Prince of Wales, and several of
his friends were of the party, says the
Boston Post. Among those friends was
Sir James Macintosh, a well-known
social lion of few years ago.
Sir James was one of those blunt
downright, rough-spoken Scotchmen
who, like so many of his countrymen
know no fear or awe of any man.
In the midst of the game Sir James
called out to the Gear:
You've revoked"
Everybody's blood ran cold.
The Prince of Wales kicked the
Scotchman. under the table, and the
Car, blusMng and confused, exclaimed
in bewilderment:
Revoked! Why, 1 never did such a
thing in my life"
But Sir James persisted, and the
Monarch was proved to be in the
wrong whereupon Sir James replied
to the observation of the Gar:
dare say you've often revoked
your majesty, but this is the first time
you were ever told So.

The lay and the spiritual points of
view are different, as is shown by this
tale of a church in Anadarko Kan,
which was considering the advisability
of a clergyman who had applied for the
pastorate, says the New York Tribune.
The deacons had been told that law
yer of the town had known the pas
tor intimately. They went to him and
asked for a statement of the qualifi-
cations of the candidate.
Yes, l know Brother - very we'll,
said the lawyer. Il went to college
with him and 1 attended his church
after he entered the ministry. He is
scholarly. able and eloquent, and 1 am
sure you will like him.
The deacons thanked the lawyer and
were going away, when he called to
them in consequence of an after
thought Il don't know as it makes
any difference" said he, alphabetically;

THE SUPPLY OF SUCKERS AMPLE.

! THE SUPPLY OF SUCKERS AMPLE.
1t would naturally be supposed that
the supply Of those who intrust money
in concerns which promise to pay enor-
nous rates of interest or big dividends
was about exhausted. but it seems it
/ isn't. No sooner does one of these get
rich-quick companies open its doors
! than it has all the business it can we'll
attend to- The New York World calls
/ attention TO a finance and mortgage
/ company of that city which recently
went into the hands of a receiver. 1t
/ seems it promised to pay as much as
( IL per cent. After it's manager found
it advisable to go to Europe for his
health the books of the concern were
thoroughly Investigated. 1t was found
that it had taken in something like
81, 600 600 and that its customers were
located in all parts of the country.
Many of them were school teachers of
the city of Cleveland.
II can hardly be doubted that
school teachers read the newspapers
and place considerable confidence in
what they print. These Cleveland
teachers could hardly have failed TO
notice many publications to the effect
/ that the concerns that promise high
rates Of interests on money intrusted to
them for investment are practically all
fraudulent
No doubt many of those who invest
their money in these get-rich-quick
concerns know they will be defrauded if
they give the concern the opportunity
to defraud them. Their idea is to get
in and get out with their winnings be-
fore the concern can get the best of
them. There are others, however, who
are absolutely ignorant of the fraudu-
lent character of these get-rich- quick
concerns. Even if the newspapers
were to devote half their space every
day to pointing out how to avoid being
swindled these people would never see
the warning. There are certain things
they read in the newspapers and they
don't read anything else. And when
they hear people talking about a par
ticularly atrocious swindle they never
think about it again, if, in fact, they
ever have thought of it, and rush off
and spend their money in the get-rich-
quick companies.
There is no use warning people to
keep away from such companies They
won't take advice. They think what
they don't know about pretty nearly
everything isn't worth knowing. They
are regarded as suckers, however,
and Will continue to be notwithstanding
the warnings of the newspapers.

'In the Little Old Town."

From the Chicago Tribune.
It's none of your crowded city streets
Where the rush and hustle are,
And the wave of constant movement
beats
Through the dust and smoke afar.
1t saunters in with a peaceful air
And it slowly passes through
This cheerful, hurryless thoroUghfare
With its seeming 'Howdy
It stops where the roses blandy nod
Through the quaint old garden gate
Then goes with a placid, patient plod
Where the sidewalks hold it straight,
1t halts again at the public square
For an unbegrudging rest
And a friendly chat with the corners
there,
For each cross street is a guest.
Then lazily to the blacksmith shop.
Where it has to pause once more
To see how the blazing cinders flash
From the forge just by the door.
From there TO the bridge across the
brook,
To hear what the ripples say:
Then on to the walnut shaded nook
Where the sages sit all day.
Main street goes on with a calm con-
tent
To the summit of the hill,
Then yields to the soothing blandish-
ment
OF the. countryside all still.
It rambles out where the meadows
spread
And the soft, green grasses Green
And there on a blossom spangled he'd
Main street has gone to sleep.

Personal.

1t is said that King Edward has
given it to be understood quietly that
he considers a toast as much honored
by those who drink water as by those
who prefer something stronger.
The funds in the San Francisco
city treasury have been counted, and
the treasurer, John E. McDougald,
found to be a defaulter to the amount
of one cent. 1t is due to Mr.. Nc
Dougald to say that he rendered the
amount of the deficit to the committee
of the City Council but the members
refused to accept it.
Prof. Irwin Rautenstrauch of
Washington University, who formerly
lived in Sedalia, Kan, has asked the
courts to change his name. Nobody in
this country has ever been able to
pronounce it right and the professor
has got tired of being called Rotten
straw" which was conferred upon him
in his school days.
AT a recent meeting of Benjamin
Hamrick's family in Webster Springs
w. Va, it developed that the aggre-
gate stature of Mr.. Hamrick and his
eight sons was sixty-two and one-half
feet. The father stands six feet five
and one-half inches and the Sawed
off, of the family, son named Will
liam, is six feet one inch. The mem
bers of this remarkable family range
in weight from 1856 to 200 pounds.

IN Rad HANDS.

The facts being brought out in the
trial of Lawrence Murphy in New
York city on the charge of having
stolen $4,000 from the Journeyman
Stone Cutters Association of which he
was treasurer, seems to justify the
conclusion that some of the labor or
CARNATIONS are in bad hands. In this
trial the effort is being made by the
defendant to show that the money
which he is charged with having taken
was obtained by compelling employ
ers to pay to prevent strike or to
bring a strike to an end
Assuming that it is true that strikes
are prevented by the payment of
money or are declared off in consid-
Grafton of the payment of amounts
agreed upon between the leaders of
the strikers and employers, it is evil
dent that an evil exists that should
be at once remedied. We do not be-
lieve that the working members of the
unions get any part of money collect
ed in this way, or that they know that
strikes are settled for money consid-
GRAFTON. The whole nefarious business
is doubtless conducted by men promi-
nent in labor organizations, and
1t is probable that the money thus re-
ceived goes into their pockets.
Labor organizations ought to see to
it that they have only the very best
men at their head. If they have men
as leaders who are every ready to sell
great deal. They will have success
sometimes in their efforts to secure
compliance with their demands, but. in
the long run, they will lose ground,
because the men they trust will not
use the power conferred upon them
for the good of the unions, but to en-
rich themselves.
In the case under consideration
when Mr.. McKeon, the secretary of the
Journeyman Stone Cutters Associa-
ton, was on the witness stand, he
was asked if his association had not
collected as much as 100000 from the
Stone Dealers Association, and he re-
fused to give a direct answer.
There seems to have been brought
before the public. since the great
strike in New York city was inaugu-
rated, facts sufficient to justify the
conclusion that some of the labor or
| CARNATIONS are in bad hands. The
walking delegate has been the soufce
of much harm to the cause of organ
lied labor. If much that has been
stated about him recently is true work
men have more and better reasons for
organizing against him than they have
! against employers.

FLEET1NG FORTUNES.

There are great many people IN
New York city to-day, and. in fact
in many other parts Of the country, in
Strengthened circumstances. who. a
year ago. thought themselves rich.
They had made money in one way and
another. mostly, in all probability, by
specializing in stocks. They had been
so successful that they were confident
that they understood the financial ana
Industrial situation, and hence they
went right on buying stocks on mar
gins. They took no account Of what
has come 10 be known as "undigested'
and "indigestible" securities. Perhaps
they knew nothing of such securities,
and didn't even suspect their existence.
BE that as it may, the market took a
downward turn and their fortunes dis
appeared.
According to reports that are being
published in the New York papers
there. are many indications that money
isn't as plentiful as it was few
months ago-that is, the high-priced
restaurants are not as we'll patronized,
yachts have gone out of commission,
the purchases at the frst-class stores
are not so extravagant. In fact there
are many signs that there has
been a reduction in incomes.
Those who look at the prices of stocks
to-day and compare them with what
they were a year ago can readily see
that "A vast amount of paper wealth
has disappeared. IN very short time
"A few days ago, the total market value
Of the common stock of the United
states Steel Corporation shrunk more
than S36. 600 900. That stock is widely
scattered, and no doubt many of its
holders feel they have been made al
most paupers by the shrinkage in its
value.
The figures are not at hand showing
just what the shrinkage in the value
of all of the stocks and bonds listed
on the New York Stock Exchange has
been since the beginning of the present
year. but the amount Of it must be
enormous. 1t is not to be wondered at
therefore, that people who recently
rode in carriages and dined sumptuous-
ly every day are now walking and
living on very plain fare.

Postmaster General Payne said, just
before sailing on the revenue cutter
Onondaga for his two weeks outing.
that he expected some sensational de-
velopments would be made during his
absence, and it proves that such was
the case. 1t was found that Charles
Hodges, superintendent of the free de-
livery service, had been doing crooked
business for nearly four years. and he
was fired. If we are not mistaken the
charges against Beavers and Machen
came out while Mr.. Payne was away
from the office. Maybe it would be a
good thing for him to remain away
permanently.
