SHANNON COPPER.
Treasurer Hazen Says Company WIFI
 Earn s20o. 900 in a Year.

The Street says the tape tells a stc- " CT Shannon Copper which can not be cont:overted by official statements or otherwise, that something is wrong either with the mine or the manage ment which has caused inside selling of the stock in large volume for months.
 There were over 5000 shares of the stock traded in yesterday at a total decline of Is points, to 3-4. the low est price recorded since the Shannon became a producing property.
 The usual monthly meeting of the Shannon Co. directors was held yester- day afternoon and it was expected that some statement night be issued.
 After the meeting it was stated that there was nothing to report. Every thing at the mine end is running smoothly and satisfactorily, and so far as the property is concerned, there need be no cause for worry. The di- rectors' meeting was declared to be entirely harmonious.
 One of the directors stated after the ! meeting: q can not account for the recent selling of the stock. The sell ing of the last few days has come from Springfield, but Is without significance This heavy selling must come to an end and then the people will see how they have been scared over nothing. have just as much faith in the Shan non property as ever. and have been adding to my holdings in this last de cline"
 At 3-4 the Shannon property is sell ing in the market for s1 500 900, includ- ing s4s0,000 bonds. while s2.200 900 has actually gone into the property. from the sale of stock which brought ST. 600, 900, and $500. 900 bonds pc. cent bonds, of which s120,000 have been re tired through sinking fund operations out of earnings.
 A total of 250, 900 shares of Shannon stock was originally sold at from s2 to sI5 per share. In the fist place 50,000 shares of stock were given to lthe promoters for their services and for the conveyance of certain deeds and property to the company. Then 40' 900 shares of stock were sold at s2 and various blocks sold from this price to s20, then the balance, or about 60, 900 shares. were sold at SIS per share
 There are now between 13e0 and 1400 stockholders in the company some of the large blocks of tue orig nal holders having been pretty well dis tributed among small holders. The larger part of the stock is held in west ern Massachusetts and Connecticut J. W. Hazen. treasurer and director lof the Shannon O., says: The i'm .pression prevailing that there is dis cord in the board of directors Is en tireiy erroneous. and you can not put 1t too strongly that absolute harmony prevaifs.
 "The fiscal year of the Shannon Go ends August 31. and indications are that we will show at least S200,00O net earnings after fixed charges Of s38, 900. There remains to be deduct ed fro mthese net earnings about $75, 900 expended out of earnings upon new

General Nord
 Made No Threat
HATlENpREsIDENT DENIES RUM. ORS OF PROMISED
 MASSACRE.
Minister Powell Went to See him About it, Because Residents Were Suffering Great Alarn1-came Away After Nord's Complete Disavowal.

Washington, Aug 22.-General Nord never threatened to repeat the mas sacre of foreigners in Haiti in 1904. according to Minister Powell, who had the denial from the presidents own lips the minister has made the sen sational report the basis of special inuiry, the result of which he has com municated to the state department. He says that on August 1 several Ameri- can merchants informed him that Pres ident Nord made such a threat ID pub lie audience.
 As this report caused great alarm in all classes. Minister Powell, at the re- quest of the merchants, saw the presi-
 dent and asked as to the truth of the report General Nord said this IT,
 port had been spread by his enemies,
 especially those who were seeking the
 release of those imprisoned for de Ifrauding the government, whom he de- termined not to release until they were proven innocent. Their friends had written him a promise to make no claim against the Haitien government If he would release the prisoners. The trial was delayed month, owing to an appeal taken by prisoners council te the supreme court.
 Reverting to this supposed threat to repeat the 1894 massacre, president Nord said that any man, black or white, who made such statement in the present day, would be worse than tod; th1 condition Of the world in 1904 was far in advance of what it was in 1904, and as long as he was president
 he would protect all who lived ir Haiti.

name by which he is most Familiarity
known. He has carried it from boy
hood. One day on his way to school
little Tim picked up revenue beer
stamp. He thought it was dollar bill.
1t had been raining and the stamp was
wet so when he reached the school he
pinned the stamp on the wall near the
stove. The teacher asked him what he
was doing and he replied that he was
trying to "dry that dollar" The boys
caught on as boys will and from that
day to this he has been known as "Dry
Dollar Tim" Since that memorable
day Tim Sullivan has learned great
deal about the medium of exchange.
He has over a million and a half of
dry dollars now He owns theaters,
race horses and race tracks and he is
as well known in the sporting world as
in politics. Most of DRY Dollars" ed
ucation he picked up in the streets.
His school days were few. He began
to make money by selling papers and
most of the information he picked up
was gathered from the papers he sold
and from the racy talk of the streets.
To this day he says his reading is con-
lined to the newspapers. He buys a
lot OF them and reads them all. When
he is through with them he has little
time for anything else.

iae 9haoow Oh the Feast honored by name
that no man needs to learn who knows
our history. These ADVANTAGES.
Why is the boom" discounted in New
York, which so recently rolled up for
Mr.. Mcclellan so tremendous majority !?
Because of Mr.. Clellan's unfortunate
backing in Tammany Hail. In vain,
While that lasts, will Mr. Cleveland and
Mr.. Hill and other party leaders dine
and make speeches in his honor. New
York is a close state. Nine months in
tervene between January and election
day.
Boss" Murphy, the new leader of
Tammany Hall, showed himself in the
campaign such shrewd manager that
many believed that he would insist upon
a clean local governmental least I'M
til after the presidential election-for
the sake not so much of the party as of
Tammany's influence in the party. The
appointments made in the opening days
OF the new administration, however,
prove that either Mr. Murphy is not a.
Tree agent; either he is compelled to do
the bidding of the Tammany district
leaders; or he is more anxious to secure
for Tammany the loaves and fishes of
patronage than he is to advance the pres
ldential fortunes of Mr.. Mcclellan or of
anyone else. If the latter should prove
to be the case, Little Mac" will not be
the first to be cajoled by local rings
through his honorable ambitions.

is done the owners of old theaters can
not under the law be compelled to
change them sufficiently. So that New
York, with building laws nominally
more strict than Chicago's is not actu-

On the other hand, the newest thea
tiers here are probably as safe as any in

plainly visible from auditoriums put out
upon the stage without alarming the au-
diences.
One was in the old Brooklyn theater,
scene of the worst fire in the country
previous to Chicago's. The same or
chestra leader who had barely escaped
from the earlier fire with his life sat inn
passive, stolid, as th.s flames licked the
scenery. Sarah Bernhard was playing.
The audience coughed, spoke out, trying
to attract the attention of the actors
without causing alarm. The actors were
puzzled, the more because they were
Frenchmen and diG not understand.
Finally man strobe down the aisle,

turned, put out the fire as II used to it,
went on with the play.
Another time l saw light wreath Of
decoration surrounding proscenium arch
blaze into horseshoe of fire. Then rose
two methodical firemen in uniform upon
the right and the left, they pulled down
the offending stuff hand over hand like
sailors coiling rope and stamped out
the place.

Henry, of Prussia, when vast au-

DOG GAVE FIRE ALARM.
the Lives of the Inmates of an
Apartment House.

Prince is of no particular breed He
is just dog. He is big, white, home
ly, also very bright-eyed, and the fam
lily of Frederick Otto, Brooklyn mer-
/ chant, and all other occupants of the
big apartment house at Nos. Z and 9
Hicks street, Brooklyn, declare that
there is no other dog in the world as
fine as Prince, because by a remark
able parade of sagacity and faithful
ness he saved the lives of many, and
maybe all, of the residents of the
house.
Early in the morning Prince arose
from his place on the dining-room
hearth rug. He whined uneasily for
little while and then of a sudden he
barked outright. None of the family
lstlrred. The sounds of their regular
breathing did not cease
Prince went to the room Of his a.
year-old master and chum, Freddie
Otto. He parked furiously. The
)drowsy boy sat up and looked at the
dog, told him to be quiet, and sank
back to his pillow. Prince barked
again.
|
McCarren, naged woman, having been
awakened by the barking of the dog,
aroused her husband, and reminded
him that twice last summer when bur-
glars tried to get into the apartment
house, the dog had warned the sleep
ing families by his barking
She asked her husband to go out
into the hallway and investigate the
cause of the barking. When McCar-
rem opened the door it was to let in
cloud of smoke. Looking down, he
saw that the hallway on the first floor
was ablaze.
He gave the alarm to his wife. and
then rushed through the hallway call
ing to all the neighbors. Then he ran
into the street, notified policeman,
and a fire alarm was turned in. The
families all made their escape scantily
dressed.
Finally, when the entire Otto fam
lily were in the street, Mr.. Otto re-
membered that Prince was still up in
the apartment. The dog had conceived
an idea that he must still remain and
guard the apartment.
So up through the smoke and flames
dashed his owner, declaring that Prince
was dog worth saving. And he
brought Prince down. And everybody
patted the wise dog and Prince
pranced and looked happier.-N. Y.

profitable.

Powers is man of ability and he is
also thoroughly good fellow. He is
one of the few members who has man
aged to attract the attention of the
house during his first term in congress.
When he landed in Washington to be-
gin his congressional career the first
thing that impressed him was the utter
insignificance of the new member I'M
der the hard and fast system of prefer
ment which prevails. He lay around
for few weeks, wondering why he
ever consented to come to Washington
at all, and calling himself all sorts Of
names. He talked around among some
of the other new members and found
that most of them felt about as he did.
Then he had an inspiration.
He organized the new members into
a club, which he called the Tantalus
club, because it is the fate of the new
member to be constantly hoping to get
somewhere and never reaching the
goal. He got them all together for a
dinner. He was made president by ac-
clamation, and the first dinner was
such success that they had another
and another. The beauty about the
dinners was that the members who
would never get chance to talk in
the house under the rules could be rec
ognized and show what there was in
them. The Tantalus club dinners be-
came feature of Washington. Ev-
erybody wanted to so to them and no
body could get in. The old members
for once had to take subordinate po-
sition. Powers became the best of all
the New men and he speedily became a
factor to be reckoned with If he were
to stay in congress he would cut big
figure, but he is going to leave.

OF commanders on
the federal side who excelled him. Yet
for the greater portion of the time
after the close of the civil war until
his death his fame rested under a
cloud among some of his own people,
because after swords were transformed
into agricultural implements he allied
himself with the opposition party.
At the close of the war Longstreet
became a republican and he remained
republican until the end Some of
his neighbors, forgetful of the splendid
services he had rendered the confed-
eracy in the field, ostracized him. They
refused to recognize him at the re-
unions of confederate veterans and for
years he lived as a stranger in a
strange land. Now that he is dead per-
haps his reward may come, but the
tragedy of his life cannot be obliter-
ated
Oflateyears he has been a resident of
Washington occupying the sinecure po-
sition of railroad commissioner which
was occupied before him by another
confederate soldier, Joseph f. John
ston.
There is little in the physical ap-
pearance of the gray-haired old man to
remind one of the dashing corps COM
mander of 40 years ago. The inevita-
bic ear-trumpet and the sightless eye
were pathetic "reminiscences of a he
roic past.

QUEER LITTLE PLANT.
the Pnrt 1t Has Played in Myth
illogical History.

My story is very different from that
of other plants because most plants
grow in the soil, while grow in very
strange place. One day a little bird
dropped mistletoe seed on an apple
tree. He was there looking for place
to build his nest or perhaps for nice
worm. The seed was held to the
branch Of the tree by sticky fluid
with which it was covered, and there
it had to remain. After awhile it sent
out little roots into the branches and
just lived upon that old tree By the
way, do you know what plants are
called that live on other plants? Do
you know of any others which have
similar habits?
So l stayed on the old tree and found
plenty of food, and grew and grew
until 1 nearly choked it's foliage. Final
