TO ATTRACT SAILORS.

out a new device to attarct the won
Gering attention OF the young mai
who hungers and thirsts for sight OF
the world. A beautifully designed
has been printed with a
view CT the battfeship feet sailing
from Hampton Roads. The scene Is
shown on two large cards, three feet
by four. placed like the scenes of a
stage and nicely calculated to make
the picture a very real one. In plain
but not large letters at the sides are
the customary legends, which convey
the enticing information that young
men from seventeen to thirty-five
years are wanted and that the pay
runs fro mS16 to $40 a month. No
bright boy looking at this pretty pic
tire could resist the temptation to get
into the navy as soon as he could
reach the nearest recruiting station

A young man named Parks was
drowned yesterday morning off a der

Compensation For Poa achers.

A gamekeeper on a northern estate tells an amusing story of the latest thing in the compensation line When he was escorting the gentlemen round the coyerts one day the party were alarmed to hear a loud cry just after shots had been fired. Running to the spot, a thick bush growth. the keeper found man lying grooming on the ground.
 Some of them gents ave shot me in the leg," groaned the man.
 Examination proved that the sufferer had indeed received a bird shot pellet in his left calf. It was a trivial in- jury, but was handsomely compensat- ed for by the gentlemen in the party, who presented the victim with quite a good sum in gold.
 That same evening the gamekeeper came upon two men in a quiet lane en- gagged in hot dispute about the shar- ing of some money. One of the men had shotgun, and. tapping it sIgnifl- cantly, he said threateningly: "'Alf shares, or I'll go straight to the p'lice and split on us both. I'll give the game away. I'll tell lem low put that pill in yer leg to knock money out O the shooters"
 Then the gamekeeper disclosed him. self, and the two conspirators decamp- ed.-London Opinion.

SHORT CALENDAR.
Case of Connecticut Go to Show
 Books Will Not Be Heard.

Not a word was said to-day at short calendar in the superior court about the case of the city against the Connecticut Co in which the issue is to have the company pro- duce it's books in court, to ascertain if its receipts amount to such fig ure that part of them should be turned over to the city every years in compliance with contract made with it's predecessor, the Connecti- cut Railway and Lighting Co. It would be out of the question now to expect hearing of this case to take place before Christmas, unless the impossible should happen. The rest of the May term may be taken up with jury cases and there will be no civil business transacted at the June term. Court will adjourn in June, after disposing of the criminal business, of which there is long list, and will not reopen till October. As the case is not on the privileged list it is extremely doubtful if 1t will be heard in October. and fin case it will not the prospect is that it will go over until about Christmas time. It looks now as if Alderman Fine would have to make another motion concerning that case.
