GREATLY EXCITED
WAS YOUNG coLoRED FELLOW
PICKED UP IN ALLEY BACK
OF THE MANLEY.

A young negro ran up Bridge street
last night about 5 o'clock evidently
laboring under great excitement. He
turned in the alley bacy Of the Hotel
Manley, and when Officer Gould
searched that region shortly after
ward he found the fellow lying ex-
hausted on the ground.
He was SO full OF bad booze that
he didn't know a thing, and the Off:
Ger locked him up. 1t is thought he
hit another negro with a pair OF steel
"knucks," at a Bridge street hotel.
but as nobody complained he was not
accused of this. He plead guilty to
being drunk and was fined 5000.
After Boyd Benedum had been
fined yesterday morning for the fight
on Madison street Sunday evening,
it was decided that Arthur McCor
mick, the other man, might be equal,
ly guilty, and he was accordingly or
dered to appear this morning. He
showed up all right, but asked to have
the trial postponed until tomorrow
This was granted, and the trouble vii
be thoroughly aired at s o'clock.

A glassworker by the name Of

"duds" in a suit case and a jug un.
der his belt, started out from his old
boarding house to the new, says the
Morgantown Post.
When he reached the corner Of
Spruce and Wiley streets he became
bewildered and although six squares
away from his new room, entered
Walters boarding house, and after
toting his grip and jag up stairs, I'M
dressed and went to bed.
About twenty minutes later the
young lady student who occupies the
room entered and after gazing upon
the occupant Of the bed for about half
a second let out a war whoop and va.
moosed the ranch.
Several young men students en-.
%deayored to explain matters to Frost,
but his jag had made him to weary to

OVER
POSSIBLE REVOLT

NEW YORK, June 2l-The uprising
against the new rates of the Royai
Aroanum has gone far beyond the con
troll OF the Supreme council and whe u
the executive committee of that bod V
meets in Boston one week hence they
will listen to protests from all over
the country. Representatives of the
council everywhere will be at the
meeting of the executive committee
and urge reconsideration of the new
ly-adopted schedule. a referendum
plan will be submitted, calling for the
adjustment of the new rates and re.
turn to the system of assessments.
There is no denying that the Su-
preme Council officers are alarmed by
the revolt in the organization. They
expected a few complaints, but did not
look for the widespread revolt that has
happened since the publication of The
new tables. In every subordinate cOun-
Gil that has held meeting since the
pupleluo SOuh''i LIooVlHS = III N'I'i'iC y
City there has been raised an objection
to the new rates and resolution pass
ed calling for their reconsideration.
Unless the executive committee recon-
mends the adjustment of the new
rates, endless litigation is sure TO fol-
low. Several of the most prominent
councils in this State have adopted
resolutions and set aside funds to fight
the matter in the courts.

No man knew the value of BalZac's
writings better than the famous French
novelist himself, fact which he never
failed to Impress upon his publishers
when terms We're being discussed
ON one occasion, as Balzac sat smoli-
ing in a friendly fashion with a we'll
known publisher, he remarked casual
ly:
"Now, | want your candid opinion.
Honestly, do you believe that have rs
much talent as Frederic Soulief'
MY dear Balzac, how can You ask"
answered his unsuspccting companion.
why, you have twice his literary ca
pacity."
"Well, as | consider his works i'm
measurably superior to anything Of
Eugene Sues l suppose l must have
more talent than Sue too"
"Of course you have"
"Twice as much, according to you.
Well am glad. And now tell me hon
estly. as we are discussing literary
merits, surely | am as good as DumasF'
Better better"
"Thanli goodness, our opinions coin
eide And now, since my novels are
worth twice as much as those of Fr"d-
eric Soulie and Eugene Sue. | demand
In common justice to bc paid double
what you pay them for theirs"
There was nothing 10 he said, says
one OF RalZac's biographcrs. The un-
fortunate publisher had been trapped

JOBS TEARS.
Seeds That Are Used For Food nnd

seeds That Are Used For Food and
Ornament In India.
4 seed much used for ornament Is
that which bears the popular name OF
Jobs tears The old bOtanist Gerarde
thus describes 1t: Every graine re-
sembleth the drop or tear that falleth
from the eye" There are, however,
now three or four well marked forms
Of this seed met with in India, which
differ from each other in shape, color
and degree of hardness and in the pres
6nce or absence of grooves or burrows
along the length OF the hardened in
yoluCer.
DIR. Watt of Calcutta thus enumer
ates them: There are three types of
shape-a long cylindrical or tubular, a
normal pear shaped condition and
hattened spheroidal form. The cylin-
drical grain Is always Of Il white col
or, smooth, polished, not furrowcd, but
CONSTRUCTED toward both cXtrGmitieS.
This IS collected for ornamental pur-
poses only and not as an article for
food The pear shaped form varies in
size and color, being pale and blush
white, gray. yellow or brown black.
The hattencd sphcroidal kinds are Of
ten yellow or even pink.
The two principal forms are: one
almost round and either white or black.
This form IS sometimes, though less
frequently, used for rosaries and orna-
mental purposes, but chiefly for food
among the hill tribes of India The
second form is tubular, about half an
inch long. This is extensively employ
ed for decorative purposes. the dresses
worn by the Karen women being often
completely covered with embroidered
designs of this grain"
