Ren,enyi and the Porter.

In the recent brief biography of Ed
uard Remenyi the great Hungarian vio'
linist is pictured as a genius who saw
things from the humorous point OF
view. One afternoon at Fort Collins,
Colo, where he was to play that night,
Remenyi was sitting on the piazza of
his hotel when he was approached by a
big burly porter.
"What do you do in the show?" asked
the porter.
II am the end man." replied Remenyi.
81 thought so! Have you got some
influence with the boss Of the shown
81 think 1 have a little"
81 thought so! Could you get some
tickets for me and my old woman?"
Maybe 1 could"
Il thought so! Try hard!"
81 will try mighty hard"
A little later Remenyi's manager
gave the man two passes which he re-
ceived with his stock ejaculation, Il
thought So" He accompanied them to
the opera house in the evening and Re-
menyi gave him his violin case to carry.
"Who plays this fiddler" he asked.
1.-THE end man." replied Remenyi.
81 thought So"
After the concert the porter was in
the lobby waiting for the violinist and
the manager with a very long face.
Remenyi again gave him the violin case,
and as they walked along he was heard
to mutter. At last he said aloud:
"You bet you fooled me-"
81 thought SOL" said Remenyi, with
dancing eyes.

BIGGEST sAwMILL IN COUNTRY.
Will Have a Capacity of About 225,-
900 Feet a Day.

Will Have a Capacity of About z%o'-
900 Feet Day.
Two million dollars will be expended
by the Weyerhaeuser timber syndicate
near the town of OrofinO in northern
Idaho, 100 miles east Of Spokane, in IN
stalling what is designed to be the
largest sawmill in the United States,
says the New York World. The mill
site will be one mile square and the
plant will have an output Of from 2OO,-
600 to 100000 feet a day. This with
the plant at Potlatch, Idaho, will give
the company capacity for from 35O,OOO
to 100000 feet daily.
The plan involves the construction OF
two lines of logging roads to connect
with the Northern Pacific Railway
One of these will be eight miles In
length, the other being forty-fve miles,
and they will tap a stand of 100000
600 feet of pine timber at the conhu-
ence of Whisky and Oroino creeks,
affording also connection with the
Clearwater river. The long reservoir
is to be above Granite canyon, on the
north fork of the Clearwater, which
will be damned to food 300 acres or
land.
The syndicate also owns thousands
of acres of fine timber lands in the
mountains north Of OrofnO and Its
agents are buying every holding offered
for sale at anywhere near a reasonable
figure.
There is a movement on foot to fur
Their protect the forests by State and
Federal legislation, which, if success
full, will be the means of withdrawing
thousands of acres Of land and further
bar the invasion by tfmbermen.
Whatever the outcome will be, one
thing is certain. Frederick Weyerhaeu-
ser Of st. Paul, who has already
chopped a fortune of $1,000,O00,0OO out
Of the forests of the Northwest, with
his associates is planning to increase 1T
by devastating large areas Of timber
lands and the establishment of mills in
various parts Of the Spokane district,
In which employment will be given to
thousands of men.

Wouldn't Have Done 1t Had He Been

old. of Hartford street. a driver for
Geiger Bros. truckmen, in Warren
street. worked all Monday night and as
a consequence fell asleep on his kagon
yesterday afternoon. He had been
drinking and this may have put the fin

driving along Sussex avenue, when he
fell into a doze. and when ne reached
Boyden street tried TO turn into that
thoroughfare. He turned in all right,
but made the turn" q little too soon,
for he drove his horse and truck into

kept at hat corner by William Vincent,
partly demolishing the front of the
place
Warden vas then arrested by Police
man McGovern, of the Second Precinct
station, on a charge of drunkenness.
He acknowledged to the police having
lone the damage n expressed a
willingness to pay for it. Vincent asked
Judge Herr to be lenient. as ne had
promised to pay him for the damages.
The court thereupon let him go.

TO TAKE NO CHANCES
ON LANNlNG SKIPPING.
Should He Succeed in Getting Bail, He
Will Be Immediately Rearrested on
Another Warrant.

MORRISTOWN, Aug. IA warrant is
In the hands of Sheriff George Shaw, of
Morris County. sworn out by the officials
of Florham Park Borough, for the arrest
of George M. tanning, postmaster n
president of the Board of Education or
that place, who f1oated bogus notes for
more than $50, 900. 1t is to be used in case
he succeeds in obtaining the bail, which
has been fixed at SIS, 900. He is now lodged
in the Essex County Jail. 1t is feared
that he may escape should he secure a
bondsman. The borough officials decided
on this action after a conference with he
borough attorney, Edward X. Mills.
Mr.. Mills states that he has been in
structed to proceed against Lanning crimi-
nally. He also says that, as far as Mayor
Meeker of Florham Park can ascertain,
there are $685. 600 worth OF borough notes
in various banks. and 1t is thought that
probably all the banks having the notes
have not been heard from. The cashier of
the Iron Bank, of this place. says that a
number of individual notes discounted by
the bank for tanning nave been pro-
nounced forgeries. He said the banks
loss would not amount to much, but it has
been said that the bank holds at least
81. 900 worth of these notes.
The investigation by postoffice inspectors
into the accounts of Lanning at the post
office here was completed yesterday, and
his books were found to be in good con-
dition. He had a balance of more than
his accounts called for. The assistant
postmaster is now in charge.

NAVY OFFICER TALKS
OF CENTRAL AMERICA.
Thinks That Republics Down There Are
Hopeless Propositions in the
Governmental Line.

MOBILE, Ala. Aug. 14.-Commander
A.. G. Winterhalter, who has been
serving on the Paducah in Central
American waters, and who left for
New York, declared that republican
form of government can never succeed
in Central America. He said:
IF one could conceive of such a thing
as the five republics of Central America
in a confederacy under the protection
of the United States there would be no
grander countries on earth than Guate-
mala, Honduras and Nicaragua, with
all their resources developed. But it
will never be under Spanish-American
development.
81 believe that there is no officer in
the navy who a made a more thor
ough study into the character of the
Latin Americans than I have. and I
am in full concurrence with the views
of Andrew D.. White, the noted Ameri-
can diplomat and one of the most ad-
vanced thinkers Of our time. when he
says that not many years hence there
will be no country on earth governed
by Spanish-American people. I do not
hin they are capable of self-govern-
ment."

staying at a village in Bechanaland
One morning, hearing a noise and un-
accountable agitation, he ran out Of his
hut to find the place invested by the
Makololos, under Sebitoane, a mighty
chief. Livingstone who had a sjambok on
his hand. felt so indignant at the pillage
that, seeing a man craving out OF one
of the huts, he brought down several
blows on his back, which made the blood
start and raised welts. 1t was Sebitoane
himself He rose, seized Livingstone in
fury by the hair and threw him to the
ground,
Warriors ran up and their assagais were
about to pierce Livingstone. when Sebf-
stopped them, saying: Let him go,
he Is a stranger and a white man." Then,
looking straight at him, he said: You
have courage. you are a brave man. Never
before has any one dared to strike me"
Livingstone then understood for the first
time whom he had attacked. You are
strong, he said, and peace was made.
Livingstone gave money to Sebitoane and
Sebitoane gave Livingstone five oxen.
Seven years later Livingstone and the
chief met and joked together over the
incident. You are a strong man. said
Livingstone, ito have taken me by the
hair and throw me down like a chiId.'F

FEW CHAMBERS CASES..
Disease Not Prevalent Among Horses in

Gently killed by agents of the society
on the streets of the city, Colonel
Edwards says, is responsible for the
circulation report of an epidemic of
~glanders.
1t appears from the police records
that thirty-three horses IA been shot
by s. p. G. A. agents since April 1,
which is more than the usual number.
This increase is due, according to the
society's representative, to. the fact that
many peddlers and some others are in
human in their use Of horses. They
purchase Did and worthless animals,
use them to the limit of their strength,
and when the horses are on the point
Of actual collapse simply turn them
loose on the street for the police or the
society to take care of. Most of the
animals shot by society agents have
been horses m~istreated in this way.
Many of them have been starved for
days.
