WHAT A PORTER MISSED.
Would Not Give seventy-hve Cent
 For 8lS.OOO.

Would Not Give Seventy-nve Cents
 For s15,OOO.
 There are few persons more despond- ent than Dominica Deandre, porter in chief at Adam Engel's hotel, in New York. Dominica thus explained what had caused leaden weight to find lodgment upon his heart, says the New York Herald: He had been offered a $15,OOO diamond brooch for 75 cents and had refused to buy. ...
 "How can a man bear up under such hard luck? said Dominica. "This morning I read the story of the man who got $1,OOO for finding Mrs. Wards brooch. Let me tell you that l had that brooch in my hand on Saturday morning. I saw that fellow looking down through the grating in front of the Garrick theater. It was not 5 o'clock in the morning, as he said, but about Il. I asked him what he saw, and he pointed out a shiny thing in the vault under the grating.
 "He asked to see that no one got it until he got back. I watched 1t for him until he returned with long stick. I got the soap, which he tied to the end of the stick, and after he had the shiny thing fastened to the soap he drew it LID carefully to the grating. l put my hand under it so he could pick it up in his fingers.
 "We looked at the thing very closely. The man said, What will you give me for itY Twenty-Five cents is all it Is worth,'I told him. Give me 70 cents, enough for a good breakfast, and it's yours,' he said.
 T saw that the shiny things were different colors. One was brown, an other yellow and the other white. That was what made me think they were glass. I said guessed I didn't want to buy it. The man was very angry and said I was very mean to keep a poor fellow out of a breakfast. He went away, saying he would show 1t to his sister, who lived in Forty-second street"
 It was thus that Dominica lost the chance of acquiring the brooch of brown canary and white diamonds which Mrs. T. Edwin Ward of River side drive, New York, lost while con- ing out of the Garrick theater on re- cent Saturday night. .'t Dominico's erstwhile friend read a newspaper. saw the advertisement of a reward and went home with $1,OOO bank note in his pocket. The next day he came to Engers head barkeeper and offered to sell the bill for $90O.
 "I can't get any one to change it," he declared. The barkeeper told him to be sensible and put 1t in the bank. The poor fellow departed, promising to take the advice.

Under the head of 8 Friends Of De-
cency,o the Saltwater Messenger saws:
!" Reputable newspapers do not like to
say harsh things of any one. 1t is a
mistaken idea that the papers prefer
villifcation in their news columns to
commendatory articles. Some news
papers may, but they are few and far
between, and the distance between
them is growing still wider. Nor
would any paper that pretends to
stand for decency hesitate for a, mo-
ment to make every honorable amend
when it is shown that wrong has
been done. The newspaper of today.
in the opinion of the Jacksonville
(Fla.) Metropolis, is the friend and
upbuilder of the clean people eyery
where. The reputable citizen has
nothing to fear at the hands of the
press. On the contrary, the present
day newspaper aids and protects the
reputable and the good that are in
every community. It is only evil
doers and lawbreakers that need fear
the sayings and influences of the press.
They, and they alone, are the ones
who gain the injurious protection of
the ridiculous libel laws that mar the
statute books of some of the states
and hamper the press in it's efforts to
secure justice and fair treatment for
all classes of people,

An item credited to an exchange
says truly: "You have no enemies?
Then you never dared stand up for
right against wrong; never protected
the weak against bully, you never
even dared to defend your own right
against opposition. Had you done
these things you would have made en-
emies. Even il, you had done none Of
these things but simply achieved lit
tie more success in your business than
your neighbor, you would have had
an enemy, for. failure always. hates
success. The man who has no ene-
mics should be ashamed.''

In speaking of the relative naval
strength of the nations, the Minneap-
oils Tribune says: "The Eastern war
has already made remarkable change
in the naval rank of the maritime
powers. Perhaps the peace that is to
follow it will make the change greater.
Before the war the naval powers
ranked as follows: Great Britain,
France, Russia, Germany, United
States, Italy, Japan and Austria.
Only Great Britain, France and Aus
tria remain in the same relative po-
sitions now. Russia has fallen from
fourth place to seventh. Germany,
the United States, Italy and Japan
have each risen one number in the
order. Though the United States is
below Germany now, we have far
more battleships and armored cruisers
=
building and expect to pass her within
two years, when these are completed.
Since the fall of Russia, the tonnage
of Great Britain exceeds that of any
three powers. The United States and
Germany are near together and so
are Ital " and Japan. Russia is a
little below these with 227,OO0 tons,
200, 600 less than before the battle of
the Sea of Japan. Japan, has now
252, 600 tons, $4,000 more, than before
that battle. This makes up. in tom
mage, though not in efficiency, for the
two battleships sunk by Russia mines.
Besides her captures from Russia,
Japan bought two fine cruisers from
Argentina, so.that she is undoubtedly
stronger than before the war. Russia
has lost from the beginning of the
war twelve out of her nineteen battle
ships, four out of her eleven coast de-
tense vessels. four out of her seven
armored cruisers and five out of her
twenty other cruisers. If the Japan
ese should be able to raise and re-
pair the ships sunk at Port Arthur,
another large addition must be made
to her fleet. At least four cruisers
remain to be captured at Vladivostok
and the terms of peace may give her
the battleship Czarevitch and all the
cruisers laid up at neutral ports from
Using Tau to Manila. Japan has
also two battleships building in Eng
land. This would carry her we'll
above Italy's $4,000 tons and give
her fifth place. It is possible that
her total gains in the next two years
may |lress. bring her close to Germany and
the United States:i's + - = 3

Nicholas, the czar of Russia, has
been held up to the world as a man OF
humane instincts, one who would work
for the betterment of his people and
relieve them in a measure from their
yoke of bondage if he were allowed to
act Independently and carry out his
personal wishes. From the fact that
he has just appointed Gov. Gen. Ire
poff, a man utterly devoid of human
sympathy, as dictator, the czar's ex-
pressions of sorrow over the unhappy
condition of Russian inhabitants must
be taken with a grain of salt.

Will Not Affect Many,

A circular has been sent out by the
State auditor, calling attention OF
probate judges to the law governing
the tag on inheritances and asking
their help in its enforcement. The
law is now being tested in the courts.
The circular construes the law as fol-
lows: "All inheritances and gifts in
excess of $4,000 are subject to tax as
follows: Over $4,000 and less than
$50, 900 one and one-half per cent:
over $4,000 *Eand less than slO0, ,OOO
three per ceht; 100000 or over, five
per cent. Probate judges are asked
to note that no tax can be computed
except where the amount is over slO,-
600 for each inheritance. For in
stance, if an estate amounts to S45, ,OOC
divided equally among five heirs, then
no tax can be imposed. If an estate
amounts to 100000 divided equally
among five heirs, the tax could apply
to $40, 900 on each.''

Indian War Pensions.

The mere fact that man served in
the Indian war of 1862 will not entitle
him to pension under the State law
passed at the last session of the Min
nesota Legislature, according to the
Pioner Press which says:
"Many applications for pensions
for alleged services in putting down
the Indian insurrection of 1862 will be
denied by the pension bureau of the
adjutant generals department., if At
torney General E. T. Young's inter-
probation of the law is followed. Mr..
Young has rendered an opinion that
under the law the pensions are to he
granted only to those persons who
rendered efficient aid and suffered dis
abilities in the Indian massacre of
1862 from Aug. Is to Sept. Is. Ac-
cording to the attorney generals in
depreciation of the law it is, not suffi-
cient that the applicant rendered
aid, he must also have suffered dis
ability, and he must have performed
the service during the thirty days
from Aug. Is to Sept Is. This opin-
ion it is thought will rule out large
number of claims received by thesad-
jutant general. :
"When the bill: was before the sen
ate, it was argued that there are enly
twenty-five or thirty persons eligible
to receive, pensions. The attorney
general is receiving applications at
the rate of 100 to 500 day. Many OF
these are of persons who did mot
suffer any disabilities and whose al
legged services were performed at other
times than that described in the law. -
