CHEAP RATE VICTIMS.

''Every reduction in stecrage rates s responsible for a lot of dead-broke Americans floating around in the streets of Rotterdam and other steamship lines," said an old trav- eler. "An exodus of impecunious young men afflicted with wanderlust is always a feature of these compe- titions in rates. The notice, Twenty five dollars to Rotterdam or any other old port appeals to their ven. turesome spirit, and many a young ster who cannot scrape up two dol lars above the necessary passage money and who doesn't know a word of any language except English is going to take advantage of the off, fer. Some of them no doubt work their way back all right, but more encounter all kinds of hardship. During every steerage war American :onsuls at foreign ports find enough charity work to leep them busy"

To Advance City One Step

Nashville, Dec. 21.-Nashville is to be advanced to city of the second class as soon as the census can be taken and the proper representation be made to the state board.
 At a meeting of the City Coun- cil on last Monday night, Alder man Jesse l., Hill was autnoriz- ed to employ some one to take the census of the town, so as to be able to report at the next reg. ular meeting of the Council, 4hicl which will be held the first Mon. day in January, in order that the necessary resolution may be prepared by the Council and forwarded ts Little Rock.
 This move is the result of a resolution adopted at meeting of the Nashville Commercial Club last Thursday night. The law only requires al showing o1 2.009 inhabitants, and there is said to be no question that the number in Nashville is far in ex cess of that.

PIRACY AN ANCIENT CALLIES

 Tn Ships.

Only the other day there came the turcd in the Gulf of Mexico ard tfe in- c!Goat suggests that at one time or another nearly every body of salt wa, ter on the globe has suffered from the ancient calling, Even the Thames river was once a fav0rite haunt ot pirates. In the fourteenth century the danger was so great that, according to historian, John Philipot offered to build at his own cost a stone tower 50 kings feet in height, near RatcliT, provided the corporation of London would levy siXpence in the pound OF the rental of the city and build a cor responding tower on the opposite side of the river, so that an iron chain might be stretched from one tower to the other to protect the shipping Of the river from night attack
 The watch was kept in the following order: "On Tuesday, the drapers and the tailors: OF Wednesday, the mer- cers and the apothecaries; on Thurs day, the fishmongers and the butch CTS; on Friday, the pewterers and the winners; in Saturday, the goidsmiths and the saddiers; on Sunday, the iron n.ongers, the armorers, and the cut. lers; on Monday, the tawers, the spur riers, the bowers and the girdlers"
 Even in 1916 pirate vessels were captured off the Kentish coast, be tween Broadstairs and Margate.
 The danger was so imminent that the common council agreed to the pro- posal, but, as the alarm died away, this scheme of defence was laid aside" In 1870 report was circulated that certain galleys, with multitude of armed men therein, were lying off the foreland of Thanet," and an order was at once issued that "every night watch shall be kept between the tower of london and Billingsgate with 40
 arChers"
 Set Sensible Fashion.
 Queen Alexandra of England Is cred ited with having been the means of emancipating English and American children from many foolish and un. comfortable fashions. At the time of her marriage to the heir of the English throne children in fashionable families were rarely seen outside of their nurs- cries, but when the young Danish prin- cess began to keep her children about her and to have her picture taken holding them in her arms the fashion changed and devoted motherhood be came the hallmark of American and English smartness. She also had her sons clothed in comfortable sailor suits and her two daughters, the pres ent queen of Norway and the Princess Victoria, were allowed 10 wear the loose woolen jerseys which are now so much worn by schoolgirls.

WASHINGTON. April 1-(Special Tele-

Of representatives and in view of the tense

most to acrimony. 1t reminded old employees

ironclad rules which now control proceed

Two schedules occupied the days pro-

Of Mr.. Tawney's amendment placing lumber
on the free list by only six majority gives
some idea OF how close the vote will be
when a record is made upon this schedule
in the house.
The vote for duty on hides, offered by

majority for free lumber, but he frankly
admitted the vote would be extremely close.
The west and south is generally for duty
on hides, the east and north standing for
free hides, and the east and north can
combine with the middle section of the
country, particularly upon barley and
barley malt. 1t seems to be g safe guess
that hides will 80 on the free list, thereby
sustaining the ways and means committee

No decision was reached on amendments
