The Empire of Dollars.

Wall street is the capital of the en-
pire of dollars. Like all other capitals,
1t has its intrigues, its favoritas, its
duels, its cabals and its camarillas.
and, like all other capitals, it gives its
color to those who spend their lives
there. 1t has even q sort Of patriotism
wolf honor'-which brings its citi-
zens together at times in defense of
the dollar and OF property rights. The
empire OF dollars is not altogether Il
noble spectacle. We are not thrilled at
the mere thought of those Venice bank
ers who financed" The crusaders. We
do not like 10 think OF those Wall
street manipulators who tried to corner
the gold supply during our civil war.

Four Good Rensnnn

An amusing incident happened the
other day at a club which had hospl-
tably thrown open its doors TO two
other clubs. A certain well known oil
Ger i'll the brigade of guards was guilty
of the 'offense of smoking in the morn
Ing room. AS matter of fact, he was
under the impression that 1t was the
smoking room. a brother officer told
him Of his mistake. lie went up TO the
only other occupant of the room, an
old gentleman doing i'll a corner, and
apologzed for having inadvertently
broken one of the rules OF the club.
The old gentleman replied, without
haste, us follows: My dear sir, pray
do not apologize. In the first place, |
am sure you would not have smoked
had you known that it was prohibited
In the second, l should be the last per.
son TO blame you If you had done so;
in the third, am not member OF the
club, and In The fourth. | have Just
been smoking myself."-Loudon Globe.

For some reason the man had been
employed to make an inventory OF the
furniture in the house. He was so long
about his task in the parlor. however,
that the lady Of the mansion went III

lay an empty bottle. On the sofa lay

American Admiral Says Nice
Things About the Visitors.
YANKEE SHIPS HIS PRIDE
Distinguished Rear Admiral Comments
on the Sailors and How Wei, They
Conducted Themselves While on
Liberty in Gotham.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans in
a dictated statement published III The
Cincinnati Enquirer says:
prince Louis of Battenberg, Ad-
miral of the British fleet, sailed out
of the American waters with n higher
respect and regard for Uncle Sans
subjects than he had when he came
here 10 days ago. He is prirc, IN
every sense OF the word. He is a
thorough gentleman, every inch a sail
or, and thoroughly up to his prOfcs
sion.
''The Princes visit was gratifying,
and | am glad that he made it. Aside
from its political significance, of which
| know nothing, ] was glad, because
it gave the people of New York an OPP
portunity to see the two fleets togeth-
CT, and they could draw their own
conclusions as TO their personnel and
equipment | have my own views Of
the British warships and their make
up but l do not care to express them.
along that line only will | soy:
With the way my fleet is equipped
and manned ! am not afraid to stack
up against anything in the world, and
if it will he of any comfort for the
American people to know it. ie;l ii to
them straight from the shoulder. My
ships are going into the Brooklyn
navy yards for small repairs, hut we
could clear our decks for action end
get TO work again in nominally an
hour. The British sailors, as n whole.
are capable men.
They behaved like gentlemen. and
out of the 1000 that were here all but
60 have gone back. | have about
G.00G sailors on my ships, and only 30
are missing. Think of it, out of TO-
tai 10000 men off on jamborea, SC
to speak, all with their pockets filed
with money, each spending it sailor
fashion, there are only 80 stragglers.
Il doubt very much if an equal num-
her of college students, or any other
class of men, would have acted as
well. ! think the showing made by
both ships and men, British and Amer
lean, was excellent.
II want to say something about that
so-called fight between an English and
an American sailor for the champion
ship. 1t was pulled off On shore and
was in no wise official, neither the
Prince nor myself knowing anything,
| about it. Boxing is a part Of orr dali
ly exercise, and want it known that

any one OF. hundred o. two OF my
sailors TO 'boX against The British
champion Cociaync.
ut is a pride on my ships to ascer-
tain who are the best boxers. and we
know their names. The captain of
the Iowa tells ME that nc docs not
know who this man Reinc is, and I am
inclined &c believe that he IS not 4
sailor. but n ringer. The British NAY .
