NO MATCH FOR THE GOAT.
A Swede Who Entered Into a Tobac.
CO Chewing Contest With Billy.

Spencer Wright, connected with =
large lumber mill in Calcasieu parish
in New Orleans on a short business min
one day last week. while couyersinF
with q party of friends gathered at a
generous downtown cafe table. upheld
the goat as the champion tobacco chew
er of the country, and to make good
his argument spun a rather unusual
yarn about what is perhaps the strang-
est contest on record.
There's a niger named Watkins. y
Mr.. Wright began his story, living no
great distance from Lake Charles. who
is the proud possessor of a goat-an or
binary William Goat-vulgarly termed
Billy goat, and that same goat. / do
believe, could eat q whole warehouse
full of tobacco, and not half try, either.
1T was only last May that 1 saw Ben
that's the name Watkins gave his
goat-at the tobacco-chewing game
and i want to tell you right now that
astonishment. You ought to have seen
that old goat, his thin. solemn face and
his great long whiskers, giving him the
air OK patriarch, was quite familiar
figure about our mill on the Sabine riv-
er, and I first took note of him because
of his pure and unadulterated cheek.
He'd go and come when he pleased no
place was sacred TO MIN, and the big
sign. 'Privatev on the glass door of
the managers office might have read
to him. Enter. please. and make your
self at home for all the respect he
showed it.
But nobody said Ben nay: the men
around the mill rather liked him. and
even the boss stood for the invasion of
his sanctum. Ben early learned to af-
feet my Office because I generally kept
jar of loose tobacco for my pipe on
nav desk. and whenever Ben wanted a
chew, which was quite often. he'd reach
up and help himself. Do goats chew
tobacco? What? Why. they love the
weed more than King James did, after
walter Raleigh had taught him how to
smoke and chewI No, they don't burn
cigarettes up. they eat 'eIn, paper and
All. for the sake Of the tobacco. and had
you seen Ben-well, you'd have agreed
with me that he was the champion of
his class.

to amuse the laboring force at the mill

Railroads to Quit Publicity.

People along the route of railroads
will miss the feature of advertising
on freight cars. In accordance with
the recent action of the American
Railway Assassination and the Master
Car Builders association, the Penn
sylvania Railroad has notified its
agents that placing of advertisements
on freight cars of railroad ownership
will be prohibited. Agents have been
instructed to advise shippers making
application for this privilege and in
case advertisements are applied TO
cars in the possession of shippers
they must be removed before the cars
are forwarded over the lines of the
railroad. All advertisements found
on cars must be removed by the rail-
road on whose liens the cars are. Nd
vertisements must be removed from
all cars received from connecting
lines, and the latter will be billed
stated charge for their removal.
1t will now be but short time un-
til all railroads will make this rule
and is a step that will take from
many large shippers means of pub
licity that has been in vogue for
years.

$70,000,000 a Year Profit in Oil Sale

Sensational disclosures regarding
the fabulous earnings of Standard Oil
were brought out Tuesday afternoon
at the hearing in the suit of the Unit
ed States government at New York
to dissolve the corporation. Adroit
questioning drew from the reluctant
lips OF Clarence G. Fay, resident
comptroller of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey. the admis-
sion that in seven years Standard
Oils total profit amounted to $780,
315,934,or something over $4,000, 900
year.
Mr.. Fay was also forced to admit
that in 1899 the profits were nearly
SS0.0OO,O0O instead of $34,OOO,OOO as
set forth on the books of the COM
pany. The Standard Oil managed to
cover up its great earnings in that
year by deliberately failing to credit
the earnings of nineteen subsidiary
companies that contributed vast sums
to the parent corporation.
This is the first time the company's
earnings have been made public --.-.-
Figured on the capital stock now
outstanding-$9s, 1888, 3s2-this is AM
annual profit of something over 20
per cent Figured on the basis of
the Standard Oil trust, which had a
capitalization of $1O,OOO,OOO when it
was dissolved and reorganized into
the present company without any adj
ditional investment on the part of
Mr.. Rockefeller and his associates,
the annual profit is something like
700 per cent. On the basis of the
original Standard Oil Company, with
capitalization of 100000, the an
nual profit is little more than 1000
per cent. On the basis of the little
refinery Mr.. Rockefeller had when
he started out, with an invested capt.
tai principally of nerve, the percen-
tage of annual profit is-well the
statisticians haven't figured that out
yet
A list of securities owned by the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey presented Tuesday shows that
that corporation possesses 5000 out of
10000 shares of the stock of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana,
which company was recently senten-
ced by Judge Lands of Chicago to
pay fine of $29, 100000.

Test Made of School Enumeration a,
Fort Wayne.

Fassett A. Cotton, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, has re-
ceived from Fort Wayne a report
containing preliminary re-enumera-
ton of the children of school age
there This accommodation was made
under Mr.. Cotton's direction He
will not discuss the report, but dis
patch from there states that this sec
ond enumeration corresponds very
closely to the hrsf made under the
direction of the local school author
tiles where the total given was To-
635.
According TO the dispatch no entire
remuneration was made under Mr..
Cotton's direction, Deputy Long, OF
Cotton's office, the man who worked
on the accommodation of Terre
Haute, has been at Fort Wayne for
three weeks with every book and pa
per at his disposal and the services
OF the enunleTdIOIS. lie TOOK DIT ran
dom twenty-five names from each
ward and with the aid of two men
that he employed himself, he visited
the homes of each of these children.
The result, according to the dispatch,
verified the first reports
This investigation of the Fort
Wayne enumeration grew out of an
investigation of Terre Haute's enum-
Grafton, which was found to be pad
ded. Following that finding. it seems
that Superintendent Cotton determin-
ed to make preliminary test of the
Fort Wayne enumeration, with the
view of Recommending that city IN
its entiret.. Upon the showing that
Deputy Long makes TO Superinten-
dent Cotton, the school officials at
Fort Wayne think that Mr.. Cotton
will not make an entire re-enumera-
ton.
