Hidden crackers.

In the preface to Gail Hamilton's
poems, published under the title,
Chips, Fragments and Vestiges," the
sister of the dead author says that a
few yellowed papers exist covered with
her verses written in childish hand.
One such sheet has the heading,
Chips and Parings." Another is called
MARY A Dodges Scribbles." These
We're all written before she was IL
years old. But the earliest, written
when she was 8, Is the best.

Old coffee pots all made of tin,
We seldom ever find them out,
Although all day we look about.
Now though we all like crackers well
And bakers have enough to sell,
Yet we all eat them up so fast
That mother hides to make them last.

author, after she had discovered where
the crackers were hidden.

REDEIvERs DISCHARGED.
Good Financial Showing Made by
DOWie.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-John Alexander
Dowie is again in control of Zion City
and all it's industries. This turning in
the affairs of the head of the Christian
Catholic church followed a financial
showing which satisfied all the credit
ors, who Immediately made motion
before Judge Kohlsaat to have the re-
ceivers appointed by the United States
district court week ago discharged.
AS no objection was offered to the mo-
tion by any of the creditors, Judge
Kohlsaat granted the request, and Re-
ceivers Blount and Currier were dis
charged. While the receivers have
been relieved OF any further duties at
Zion City, the bankruptcy proceedings
are still maintained. 1t is likely,
however, that these will be dismissed
in a day or two, or as SOON as the cred
itors' committee appointed Monday has
had an opportunity to report on the ad'
visibility of accepting Dowie's offer q
settlement. This provides for paymen!
of all merchandise accounts within one
year, and the giving of notes in the
meantime bearing per cent int est.
BY the terms of the agreement Dowie
has agreed to pay all the expenses Of
the receivers.

Seattle, Dec. 12.-E. H. Harriamn
and party of Eastern railroad men
were in the city yester lay. During
their stay Mr.. Hartman made the fol-
lowing statement.
"The Union Pacific will come to Sc
attic. 1t is not certain whether we
will reach thisc ty by trackage agree
ment with the Northern Pacific or over
our own tracks, but consider the ques-
ton of the Union Pacific's extension to
this city live and very Imperial one.
The matter is in such shape that it
might be settled at any time. 1t has
been discussed, and the mutual advan-
tages Of such change are generally I'M
derstood.
81 do not believe the succession OF
Mr.. Elliott to Mr.. Mellen as president
OF the Northern Pacific will mean any
change The relations that existed be-
tween Mr.. Mellen and our system we're
very pleasant, and our understanding
with the Northern Pacific directorate is
friendly. Arrangements for the Union
Pacifc's entry into this city will be
made just az soon as conditions make
it possible to do go. 1t is only ques-
ton of time when the road is opei ating

after the terms Of evacuation had been
agreed upon.
Major Hammer, when but 10 years
old. enlisted as private in the regu-
lar army and was assigned to duty In
Company II, First United States Ar
tillery, then stationed at Fort Moultrie,
one of the defenses of the harbor of
Charleston. In 1860 he was holding
the rank of quartermaster sergeant of
the regiment.
When on the night Of December 20,
1860, Fort Moultrie was evacuated and
the garrison taken to Fort Sumter, Q.
M. Sergt Hammer was left behind In
charge Of the government quarter
master and cOmmissary stores. The
following morning he received writ
ten order from the quartermaster at
Fort Sumter to send over the most
over himself with them on the first
boat. But the plucky young subaltern
saw fit to disregard the order in SO
far as it required him to abandon gov
eminent property left in his charge.
All that day he remained at Moultrie
| experimenting and assisting in the
loading of stores and army supplies, a
part of which consisted of clothing,
which was subsequently converted
into cartridge bags, then in very linn
tied supply at Fort Sumter. The work
completed, Sergeant Hammer went
over that night with the last boat load
of stores to Fort Sumter, where he re-
manned until the fall Of that strong
hold.
In the interim from Dec. q until
the attack upon Fort Sumter Sergeant
Hammer was busy drilling Il gun
squad composed entirely of civilian
employees Of the quartermasters de-
partment. and he had command of this
squad during the bombardment of the
fort by the Confederate shore batter
les. The bombardment began on
April II and lasted thirty-two hours,
the garrison under Major Anderson re-
plying with vigOr. Late in the after

loyal garrison and their colors were

defense deserved. the guns Numbered
their salute to the flag and then, by
order of Major Anderson, Sergeant
Hammer lowered the colors, where
upon the garrison retired and the news
of the first tragic episode of the great
American Civil War was flashed over
the wires.
While April, 1861, witnessed the fal

WHOLLY LAWFUL
NORTHERN SECURITIES APPEL.
LANTS FILE BRIEF.
Corporation Organized for the
Purchase of Property Lawfully
Salable-.-ReasOns for Position
Taken.

Washington, Dec. 1O.-A brief in
behalf of Meesrs. j. Pierpont Morgan,
Robert Bacon and Daniel Lamont, ap-
pellants, with Others, in the case of the
United States versus the Northern Sc
curities Company, has been filed in the
United States supreme court by Attor-
neys Francis Lyndeitson and David
Wilcox. They declare that tie sc-ca led
merger wasentirely lawful, and say:
"These transactions have consisted
merely in the organization of a lwful
corporation in New Jersey and in the
sale to and purchase by it of property
lawfully salable. All acts done in re-.
lation to the organization of the Nor
thern Securities Company and to the
purchase by it OF the shares of stock of
railways and to the sale thereof by it's
owners were expressly authorized by
law. The legal effect of the transaction
has been that the owners of the stock
in one of the railway companies has
sold the same to the securities company
and has received therefor stock of the
securities company, which company
owns the stock not merely of one of the
railway companies, but of both. So
that each individual that has transfer.
red his property to the securities com
pany has obtained therefor something
entirely different, namely, an interest
in company holding the stock of the
other railway company as we'll. 1t is
manifest that in the fullest possible
sense this constituted a sale of the
property"
Other reasons for this position are
the following:
"No indirect or remote effect of these
lawful transactions upon competition
between the railway companies could
bring them within the federal antitrust
law. The construction claimed would
make the statute unconstitutional, be-
cause it would deprive the Northern Sc
curities company of its property with
ont due process of law.
Gas construed and applied by the
circuit court the antitrust act is uncon-
stitutional in that it discriminates be-
tween persons in the matter of property
rights and privileges ON grounds that
are purely arbitrary and without justi-
fication in reason.
"The decree of the circuit court
transcribed the authority of the court
under tho statute.'
A brief in behalf of the Great Nor
thern Railway Company was filed by
M. d. Glover, who says that the stock
of the Burlington Railway was acquired
in order to give the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific access to important
productive centers necessary to place
them on a proper footing with other
transcontinental lines. He asserts that
good service at low rates is assured by
the arrangement
"The unity OF ownership of their
sharesss has not" he says, restrained
the com .nerce of either, and the extent
to which such unity can restrain it il
as nothing compared with the great in
crease in volume of interstate and in.
ternational commerce which was in
tended and which will result from the
carrying out of the enterprise of the
two companies in the purchase OF the
Burlington stock and the preservation
