THAT'S Not my Niger"

When Senator McLaurin, of Mis-
sissippi, was elected for the first time
he was visited by a negro in his dis
trict who wanted a job in the Govern
ment printing Office at Washington.
The new Senator knew him to be a
good man, SO he wrote to the public
printer, Mr. Benedict, asking that the
man be appointed. He told the negro
to meet him in Washington.
When Mr.. McLaurin arrived he
went to Mr.. Benedict's office to see
about another matter. The public
printer was talking to G large and i'm
posing looking negro. He turned to
greet the new Senator and, after .ex-
changing a few words with him, said:
"By the way, you wrote to me re-
commencing a negro for appointment,
did you not?"
Instantly it flashed into Mr.. No
Laurin's mind that the colored man
sitting beside Mr.. Benedict had in
some way obtained possession Of his
mans introduction card and palmed
himself off as the candidate. Point
ing an accusing finger at the mar he
said:
"xes; but that's not my niggerl"
A panic-stricken look shot into Mr..
Benedict's face and he colored vio-
lently. Leading Mr.. MoLaurin aside
by the buttonhole he whispered in
the Senator'S ear:
"Sh-h! Sh-h! That's Congressman
Murray, of South Carolina!'-New

A billion minutes have passed
since Christ was born. I do not know
just when the billionth minute was
passed, but it was during the year.
And this item gives one q fair idea Of
a billion. For instance, IL the great
Steel Trust was to divide the dollars
it stands for there would be a dollar
aud a half to squander during every
minute of the Christian era. 1t makes
the head swim to contemplate such

Can Barn Water.

The prevailing coal famine has re-
vived the question Of using water for
fuel, and An inventor Of this city an
nounces that he has perfected a device
whereby that coveted object may be
realized in every household. This
man is John A. Montgomery. 70 years
OF age, a warm personal friend Of the
late Prof. Morse, aud himself an in.
! ventor Of note.
His inventions that have proved
practical number about thirty, among
them being the machine generally
used for sticking pins in papers, a rail-
road chair, from which certain com-
panies have realized millions, and q
telegraph switch, which he presented
to Prof. Morse.
T~hirty-6ve years ago, when q stu
dent Of chemistry, Mr.. Montgomery
learned that perfect heat is derived
from the combustion Of one part of
oxygen with two parts Of hydrogen.
Then he recalled that water is COM
posed principally of those two SUBJ
stances in the above proportion.
Why, then, should water not be made
to burn? he asked himself.
For thirty-fve years he has been
trying, off and on, to construct a sim
pie and practical apparatus for separ-
ating those two component elements
in water and condensing them in form
Of combustible gas, and now, he says,
he has succeeded. More than that>
he has demonstrated the feasibility Of
his invention to a number of his
friends.
b. Having invited afriend to his home
the other evening, Mr.. Montgomery
led him to the sitting room. In the
room was a single heating stove.
There was no fire in it, but instead q
metal tube curled out from under the
CRATE and protruded as high as the
stove, terminating in a funnel.
Drawing q painful of water from the
kitchen hydrant. the inventor began
to pour it by the dipperful int afun-
mel. A white blaze shot IN from the
CRATE. producing intense heat. The
water burned perfectly.
"That is what may be done in any
stove when my invention is patent
ed" observed Mr.. Montgomery. he
said he would take great pains to pre-
vent Infringement on the patent,
which he is about to apply for before
kputting the machine on sale. He
realized that only the device is pat
entable and not the principle, and for
that reason fears that he may not get
the protection from the Government
that his long labor and study entitlc
him to.
Recently Mr.. Montgomery has been
experimenting with dust from; the
great culm banks of the anthracite
region, and declares that, if the Gov
eminent will protect him, he will
demonstrate that more heat can be
obtained from a ton of culm than from
q ton Of chestnut coal. There are
hundreds Of thousands of tons Of this
dust near the breakers and it is now
Of no use to anyone.
In burning water, or the water
gases, no steam is made and no resi-
due left. The water may be supplied
from a tenk near the stove, or in
houses where there is running water
tube may run from the stove to the
hydrant Pa, Letter

They Had Gotten Mixed.

Two distinguished statesmen, who
attended a Gridiron club dinner for
the first time, are the subjects of the
following story. For the sake of brew
ity they will be designated as "Black"
and "Gray."
They were of an ironclad
rule Of the club which ~adjourns the
dinner promptly at midnight. Black
and Gray had Informed their respect
i've families that it would probably be
an all night session, and after leaving
the Arlington hotel, attended an over
flow meeting at a nearby resort before
proceeding homeward.
When Gray reached home he was
somewhat uncertain as to whether he
had pulled the right door bell. His
anxious wife stuck her head out Of the
window and inquired:
"Who's there?"
"Does Mr.. Gray live here?" said
her confused husband.
"Of course he does, yon old fool.
You are Gray"
"My dear, please come down and
pick me out, SO Black can go home"

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Bears Still in Control and Hammering Prices. Aided by
Liquidation in Nearly Ali the Leading Issues.

NEW YORK, March 2S-The stock
market continued much unsettled today
and further severe declines were suffered
in number OF instances. There was
nothing more definite 30 account for the
pressure upon the market than there
was yesterday. Renewed liquidation was.
however. evident in nearly every quar-
ter ana the market seemed to he wholly
without support save that of risinr
from the occasional covering of short
contracts. There seemed TO be a vague
but fairly general notion that the pend
ing decision in the suit against the
Northern Securities Company in the
United States circuit court would be
against the company. and at all events
the common belief in this respect was
factor in the speculation.
At the opening of business a fairly
steady tone was evident. chiefly because
American stocks were strong in the Lon
don market ard because Of the absence
OF any direct explanation OF yesterday
decline. Fresh liquidation soon appeared.
however and number Of severe losses
were shown. Notably weak features OF
the railway list were Southern Pacific,
Union Pacific Atchison. St. Paul, the
Wabash issues and Canadian Pacific.
Manhattan Railway also broke badly in
the early dealings. but in that case
moderate degree OF support was evident.
Amalgamated Copper. the United States
Steel shares and the other Industrial and
miscellaneous stocks moved in line with
the railway list.
