COAL DEALER AND GROUNDING
why New Yorker Came to Adopt
Picture of the Animal ms an
Emblem.

AT least one man in this city be-
Heves that If the ground hog sees his
shadow and goes back to his hole on
Candlemas day, February 2, there are
six weeks more of winter to come,
says the New York Tribune.
A few years ago, at this time Of
year, a coal dealer was struggling
with the problem presented by a big
stock of coal and an exceptionally
mild, open winter. He had about de-
cided that he had best wind up his
business and get out as whole as he
could, when friend advised him to
hold on.
wait until Candlemas day" said
the friend, land then you can tell by
the ground hog whether or not there
will be cold weather enough to pull
you through
So the dealer waited for the ground
hogs decision, and as Candlemas day
was bright and clear, prepared for
plentiful sales Of coal for six weeks
of winter weather. The sign held
true, and the dealer sold his stock at
good prices.
In gratitude he adopted the ground
hog as his emblem, and it's picture
appears on all his letterheads, and is
even painted on his carts. And lie
one drops into his office he will find
man who has warm spot in his
heart for the ground hog.

ONE-CLIENT LAWYERS.
business Mem OF To-Day want d
lawyer to Work for Them
Alone.

The poverty of briefess barristers
is as proverbial as that of the church
mouse. 1t would not be an unnat-
ural mistake to consider a barrister
with only one client hardly better off
than one with none. But the modern
"one-client lawyer" is usually a pros
porous individual says Worlds Work.
Said man well known in the bust
ness world some years ago to
friend: II want a young lawyer to
put down at desk beside mine. I'll
familiarize him with my affairs and
then | want him to keep me out of
trouble" The counterpart of this
lawyer, whose duty it is to act as his
own clients ounce of prevention,
may be found in the office of many
large concerns. He is often connect.
ed with trust companies, banks,
banking houses, railroad and other
transportation companies and large
wholesale mercantile houses. When
merchant found himself in tangle
1t was once the custom for him to
go to his lawyer for advice. The re.
suits were a written "opinion" and
fee. A business man to-day OBJ
tains lawyer who shall work for
him alone. Again the field of the
general practitioner is narrowed.

of the mills. She is about as years old.
She expressed a desire to go to the
home of friend living on Alfred
street, and there she was taken by a
physician who had been ca;led.
1t seems, says the New York Journal,
that Miss Hebert has not been right
mentally for some time, and about two
months ago she was taken to her old
home In Canada by reJRtivea.
She recently left her friends in Cam
ada without their knowledge and re-
turned to this city. Last avening she
went to the basement of ut. Joseph's
church during q service, aud it is the
theory of those acquainted with the
affair that she either fell aRleep or con-
cealed herself in the chuEah through
the night.
1t is supposed that the woman fan
cled that she was in her own home and
disrobed, and in accounting for the up
set sacristy lamp that she took it from
the place where it belongs Ss if to light
herself to her room, anc. that she
dropped 1t, the light being eStinguished
when it struck the floor.

NEITHER DEAD NOR ALIVE.
New Question of transportation in
Which "a HyDnoti1ed Man
Figures.

A railroad station agent in New
England has raised new question in
transportation. and, what is still bet
ter, has settled it, reports the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
There was brought to him man in
a box. "Is he dead?" asked the agent
of the man who desired to ship box
and contents to dime museum in Bos-
ton.
"He is not" was the answer.
SWELL, he can't be alive" responded
the agent, "as he don't move when I
speak to him, and no man who is alive
ever looked like that"
HE is hypnotized. want ticket
for him, and please hurry up"
"I'll look at the rules and schedule -
said the agent. 'It says here, so much
for live man; so much for corpse.
There is nothing about hypnotizee."
"Well," said the other in disgust, 'as
I can't walsen him, perhaps had bet
ter kill him."
"You can get an ak of the porter.
But one thing is sure. The rules don't
provide for any half-dead men. He
can't GO over this road"
The box was carried to Boston over
the turnpike in lumber wagon. The
higher railroad officials say the agent
did right.

The unfortunate deadlock in the SEN
ate which threatens the success Of the
Panama canal, the Cuban treaty and,
unless soon broken, will precipitate an
extra session of congress, Is finally
reaching q point where it occasions
alarm to the republican leaders, an
alarm increased by the presidents in
sistence that he will call an extra ses-
sion of the senate lie either the Panama
or the Cuban treaty fail Of ratification.
The annoyance Of the republican lead
ers has been recently manifested by
their abuse Of Senator Quay, who is
contributing to the filibuster. Mr. Quay,
knowing that he represents a consid-
cradle majority of the senate, and hav-
ing been subjected to protracted fill
buster on the statehood bill, has deter
mined to fight fire with fire and is ac-
cordingly filibustering on the Panama
treaty. What the end will be 1t is
impossible to predict with certainty,
although it is known that the republi-
can leaders are contemplating a COM
promise on the statehood bill and are
prepared to yield, at least to some ex-
tent, to the demands OF the democrats
IL by so doing they cap secure the
prompt ratification Of both treaties.

THE PROFESSIONAL ELEPHANT.
HIS Build and Gait Are Peculiarly
Adapted for spectacuIaR
Parades.

There can be no real procession
without an elephant; he was built
for professions. His gait is process
sional. The old Sanskrit poets note
the grace Of the rhythmic sway, for
when they particularly compliment q
woman, they say: "she walks like
an elephant"-"As the swan swims,"
says Everybody's Magazine.
In India FIRST catch your elephant"
is only a preliminary, for he is but
the foundation Of an architectural
structure, all except glittering eye
and rakish tail being covered: The
howdah, solid gold, silver gilt, or san.
dial carved, rises in temple turrets;
he sways beneath gold-crusted, jew
eled robes; his harness studs are
disks OF precious gems, his ears
fringed with pearls, his tusks gold
tipped. His anklet would liberate a
slave, his forehead moon light a
harem.
He is massive as the rock temples
Of Karli. His rhythm the circling Of
the planets. His eye wrinkles With
the wisdom Of lost Lemuria.

The criticism and opposition to the
proposed improvement Of the capitol
of the United States represent, In the
main, the mutterings of disgruntled
architects who failed to get the job,
writes a Washington correspondent.
The plans are fifty years old and the
object Is to symmetrize the structure
both in material and style with the
beautiful marble east and west wings.
This will, without question, make it
the finest building In the world. AS
1t is now, the wings are marble while
the central portion Is brick succeed
and painted. The bringing out Of the
central portion to a line even with the
fronts Of the wings will add materially
to the beauty Of the whole structure
as well as afford considerable much
needed committee room. There Is
now some talk of constructing, near
the senate end of the capitol, an office
building for the use of senator's. At
present it is necessary to rent an apart
ment house for this purpose. The
rented building Is called 'the senate
annex" and is situated about block
away. AS there is no covered way be-
tween the annex and the capitol, and
the situation Is most exposed, senators
and others who have to go from one
building to the other are exposed to
the greatest inconvenience in severe
weather.

NEW SPECIES OF HORSE
A Breed Discovered In Central Asia
That Differs from the Conn
mon Kind.


Prof. Ewart has recently described
new species of horse from the west
ern islands. Until recently 1t has been
the accepted theory that all living
horses belong to one and the same
species, and that all the breeds of
European horses were descendants Of
domestic varieties from the orient.
The etchings found on the walls Of
caves indicate that the horse may have
been domesticated in Europe before
the arrival of neolithic man, saws a
London paper.
Horses, donkeys and zebras differ
markedly in that the two latter have
no callosities such as the horse pos
sesses.
Ihe discovery of new variety of
small horse in central Asia by Col.
Przevalsky will be remembered, and
now Prof. Ewart describes still an
other variety. It was pony, not
a dwarf horse, with no callosities on
the hind legs and resembling the wild
horse OF central Asia in having only
short hairs on the upper part of the
tail.
AS the most typical specimen of the
new variety was found in an out-of-
the-way part of Iceland there is no
chance that it is the result of a cross
with the Przevalsky horse, though it
was exactly of the color of the GEN.
trail Asian horse. Not having callosi-
ties, it agreed with the asses and ze-
bras, and, like them, it was highly spec
cial1zed in the size, form of the head,
ears and under lip and in the position
of the eyes.

The trusts magnates of the country
either have worked a film fam game
on the president of the United States,
and no one accuses him of being a
fool, or else he Is in league with the
trust nagnates to fool the people
anent the recent so-called antitrust
legislation. The inside history of the
kilograms sent to the republican sena-
tors by trust magnates, peremptorily
ordering them to stop all antitrust
legislation, shows a queer condition of
affairs in the higher councils OF the re-
publican party. When the republican
leaders found that the democrats look
ed with disdain upon the so-called
antitrust legislation that the republi-
can leaders and the trust magnates had
concocted, and would not say word
against it, they feared the result Of
this silence on the minds of the voters.
Something had to be done to make it
appear that the trusts were being
curDed, ana the JOB was put up that
Rockefeller should telegraph orders
to stop all antitrust legislation, and
one of these kilograms was shown to
the president. He made public the fact
that these kilograms were being sent.
In fact, he sent for the representative
OF the Associated Press to tell him
about them and Immediately it was
announced by the administration press
that here was evidence of the trust
busting nature of the legislation. The
trusts now are Jubilant because they
are aware of the utter worthlessness
OF the Legislation so far as trust curb
ing is concerned. The people will
have an opportunity to witness the
working Of the ANTITRUST legislation
enacted at this session by the republic
