Senatorial Repartee,

Ex-senator William e. Chandler OF
New Hampshire was one day ques
tioning Senator Tillman very closely
while the latter was making one OF
those impassioned speeches in the
senate which made him famous in
caricatures as the senator with the
pitchfork. After Tillman had been
interrupted several times he became
very much annoyed and blurted out:
"Why, my friend rattles around in his
seat over there like a disturbed grass.
hopper" "But a pitchfork never hits
grasshopper," was the quick reply
from Senator Chandler.

with living skeleton, on exhibition

A feeling seems to be growing in
France that any further loans to Rus
STA are out Of the question-at any

belief are that fresh advances would
go in unproductive expenditure, would
only encourage Russia in her present
ruinous system Of finance, and would
endanger the nine milliards already
lent. In the Aurore M. Clemenceau
vigorously enforces this view. France
had gained nothing from the Russian
alliance except the duty of providing
for all the follies of absolutism in a
state of delirium." To increase her
invested capital would be merely
flinging good money after bad. At the
same time, we may note the rumor
published by the Gil Bias that at a
of the chief Partisan finan-
ciers it was resolved to lend the enor-
nous sum of two milliards (fSO. OOO.-
000) upon certain conditions, of which
the more important are that the Dou-
ma should be assembled at once, that
1t should be real Parliament repre-
senting the nation and controlling the
finances, and that it should formally
recognize the foreign debts of Russia.
This story may be true, but it points
az least to general intention not to
lend any funds which can be used to
buttress the autocracy, and to demand
for any loans popular control and
uarantee.-London Spectator.

Edward Ralph, of Hightstown, the
well known pool sharp, was expected

game of pool with White, the colored
pool player, of Jersey City. The
match was to have taken place at the
pool parlors of Theodore Bloodgood
in the Runyon building, at Smith and
Hobart streets, but Ralph did not put

Concannon played. The game was
for 1875 points for $25 a side and
Concannon won by four balls. The
score was 125 TO 121.
About 8 O'Clock when it was evil

sought him out and urged him to try

COncannon was willing and the match
started. AT one time Concannon was
away ahead, but the colored man,

and the game was nearly a tie. Then
Concannon managed to run off fifteen

After the pool match at the Kirby
pool p~arlors between Joe Concannon,
of Woodbridge, and Jim" White,
the colored pool sharp, yesterday af-
ternoon, in which Concannon lost, the
man from Woodbridge still held the
idea that he could defeat the colored
man, so they went to the pool parlors
of Theodore Bloodgood in the Run

fifty points each were played for a
side bet of IS a game. White won
two games and Concannon one.

WHITE WAS AFRAID
OF THIS FELLOW.
Stranger Said He Came from South
Amboy, But White Said He Knew
Him As a Boston Man.

While the last pool match between
White, the colored pool sharp, of Jer-
sey City, and Concannon, of Wood
bridge, was in progress, at Theodore
Bloodgood's pool parlors, in the Run
yon building, last night, a stranger
strolled into the place. He watched
the match with great interest. After
the game he walked over to White
and asked the colored pool sharp TO
play a game with him. The man from
Jersey City looked ove the new ar
rival, and after a careful survey said,
Il guess not. | think you look like
a man | met in Boston, who is n of
the best expert pool players in the
country today"
The new arrival said that he was
not the Boston man, but that he
lived in South Amboy and worked in
a nearby brick yard. He put up his
hands TO show that he was a hard
worker. The colored mar looked at
the hands and then declared that
while they were dirty enough they
did not look as if they had done hard
work. The nan from South Am
boy said he guessed White was
afraid of him, but that he had any
part of $50 to put up that he could
beat the colored man, and White said
he guessed he was afraid. The game
did not take place and it is not likely
that arrangements for a match be-
tween these two will be made. The
crowd would like to see them get
together, but White will not consent.
He fears a trap of some sort.
