cerning a church fair held in Utica not
very long ago. When tho booths were
being put in position two men had a dis
agreement as to what position .in the

was a small matter of course, but each
disputant was sure ho was right There
was a war of words, and ono invited the
other outside to settle the difficulty
Those who witnessed tho settlement said
that it was unique and amusing. Which
party set the ball rolling will never be
known. There was a swish of fists in
the air, two angry grunta, a sprinkling
of blood from two damaged nasal ap
pendages, a whirl of arms and legs, and
the booth builders rolled over one an

Sir. Kpsteln Held Four Aces.
Burt Seiger, hailing from St. Louis,
was yesterday afternoon bunkoed out
of $160 on a poker hand, and James
Cary, Charles Kline aad Isaac Epstein
were arrested on the charge of operating
a confidence game. The four men were
on an incoming Missouri Pacific train
and were indulging in a quiet game of
euchre for points. During the progress
of the game Epstein remarked that he
held a good poker hand. At this Seiger
6aid he also held a good poker hand, and
proposed that tho game be turned from
euchre to poker, which was accordingly
done and the cigars bet. From cigars
for the crowd the stakes grew to a box,
and from a box of cigars to five dollars.
Continuing at this rate, the neat bet of
$160 all Seiger had was made and the

Oaee Wealthy.
A third of a century ago Bob Gridley
of this place was probably the best
known and one of the richest gamblers
in the United States. He conducted a
place for years before John Morrissey
came to the front. Bob was character
ized as an "honest gambler," a scarce
article in the world of chance today,
and it was a common saying that "Bob
Gridley's word is good for $50,000." As
the years thinned his locks and bent his
form his luck changed and false friends
assisted in depleting his exchequer.
Step by step he descended the financial
ladder, and his continued misfortune
soured him to the pessimistic extent that
he believed everybody was against him.
Reverses drove him out of gambling and
the speculating fraternity soon looked
upon him as a "has been."
With the small remnant of his fortune
he established trout ponds and sought
to obtain an honest livelihood. His wife
died and his family became scattered.
Two or three years ago he disposed of
his ponds at a loss and established new
ones a short distance north of the town.
Adversity continued on his trail. The
second investment cost him $11,000 and
his last penny. In a few days a mort
gage foreclosure will wipe even this out
and leave him comparatively penniless,
friendless and abandoned at the totter
ing age of eighty years. Tho present
generation has forgotten old Bob Grid
ley. He smokes his pipe in his rural
chimney corner, and, while a stray teai
occasionally trickles down his wrinkled
face, he wonders how soon he will bi

Vat People on a Hot Day.
On one of the recent hot, soggy after
noons, when every man hated his neigh
bor and tried to keep at a distance from
him, a perspiring, heavily clothed fat
man waddled into an elevated train at
the city hall station and pre-empted one
of the cross seats. He breathed like a
porpoise and mopped his faco with a
large handkerchief.
Just before the train started a woman,
heavy almost beyond description wiili
adipose tissue, entered the same car.
The car creaked beneath her tread. The
passengers were many, and thoso who
adjoined empty seats watched her prog
ress with a nervous glance. But with
as great a degree of blindness of choice
as is sometimes said to prevail in mar
riage, she plunged tc the center of the
car and pressed herself down into tho
space beside the fat man.
The fat man looked at her a moment,
but she seemed oblivious of his regard.
Then he braced himself for a move and
got out of his seat Then the fat woman
became aware of his presence.
"Don't move plenty of room," said
she.
','Madam," said he, and his voice was
high and clear, "it's a hot day. I am
fat You are fat We've got no busi
ness to be any where near each other.
So j'ou'll -excuse me." And he moved
away with an imitation of dignity,
while the passengers laughed at his
forcible English.
But the fat woman, nettled at first,
thought better of it, and as sho spread
herself over the entire seat murmured
to a crowded neighbor, "There's some
advantage in being fat after all." Her

Warnings for Writers.
Tho Society of Authors in England
has issued the following warnings, which
are timely:
Never sign any agreement of which
the alleged cost of production forms an
integral part until you havo proved the
figures.
Never enter into any correspondence
with publishers (especially with those
who advertise for manuscripts) who
are not recommended by experienced
friends.
Never, on any account whatever, bind
yourself down for future work to any
one.
Never accept any proposal of royalty
until you have ascertained exactly what
the agreement gives to the author and
what to the publisher.
Never accept without advice any pe
cuniary riBk or responsibility whatever.
Never, when a manuscript has been
refused by respectable houses, pay
others, whatever promises they may put
forward, for the production of the work.
Never, without advice, sign a receipt
which gives away copyright
Never forget that publishing is a busi
ness like any other business, totally un
connected with philanthropy, charity oi
pure love of literature. You have to
do with business men.

Clouds Of LrfCUSt8.
The locusts aro reappearing in Algeria
in greater numbers than ever, in spite of
the efforts that were made by the French
administration last year to annihilate
tho pests. It is now believed that they
come clear across the desert from tho
Soudan. Tho period of incubation
varies from twenty to thirty days, and
tho locusts require only about two
months to attain their complete develop
ment This fact gives a realizing sense
to tho prodigious numbers in which the
terrible insect may multiply during its
progress across the Sahara. Great
clouds of the locusts have already been
seen on the northern edge of the Sahara
making their way north. The news
comes from Touggurt and Ghardaia in
the Sahara that early this year the
locusts suddenly invaded those places
in such enormous numbers that for four
hours they fairly darkened the heav
ens. About a month before similar
clouds of locusts were reported in the
valley of the Niger river in the Soudan,
and it is believed that in the four suc
ceeding weeks they had journeyed to
the northern part of the Sahara. New

Italy's New Prime Minister.
Signor Giovanni Giolitti, the new Ital
ian premier, is said to be the youngest
head of a ministry that Italy has had
since Cavour. Ho is barely fifty years
of age, and has only been in parliament
ten years. In tho caricatures of him in
The Don Chisciotte he used to be rep
resented, owing to his being one of the
tallest of the deputies, by what might
be called a hop pole clad in a long over
coat and very high silk hat When he
was twenty-two he took his degree of
doctor of law, and in 1876, when Signor
Depretis was in power, he had become
director of customs. Signor Crispi made
him minister of the treasury in March,
1880, and in November, 1890, minister
of finance. A month later Signor Gio
litti resigned, owing to a difference with
the minister of public works, whose ex
penditure he wished to cut down. He
then helped to bring about the fall of
tbe Crispi cabinet Signor Giolitti is

A Smoke Ceasaamtas; Scheme.
A correspondent suggests a method of
abating the smoke nuisance in close
manufacturing localities by having a
smoke duct running through a town,
connected in a suitable manner with the
different furnaces. In carrying out such
a plan it is suggested that the duct might
be conveyed outside of the city to a con
densing station, an exhaust machine
being employed to force the draught
At the condensing station the soot laden
air would be made to pass through water
conveniently proximate, in this way de
positing the solid matter, while the air
passes away comparatively pure; the
soot which remains might easily he col
lected, caked and used as fuel, etc The
dimensions of the duct for such a pur
pose would have to vary, as in the case
of water and other mains, according to
the work to be performed. Indian En

Evangelists In Jail.
Tho Rich brothers, who are known
throughout Maine as the crazy evangel
ists of Piscataquis county, have been
landed in Bangor jail. On May 29 they
broke up a religious meeting at Sanger
ville becatteo the exposition of tho Gos
pel on that occasion was not according'
to their ideas, and a day or two later at
a funeral, when the officiating clergy
man remarked that the deceased was a
good woman and was then in heaven,
one of the brothers jumped up and de
clared that she had gone in an entirely
different direction. That was the last
straw, and the evangelists will suffer
sixty days of martyrdom in a placo
where more attention is paid to the
making of .brooms than to theology.

Sheep from Persia.
Thirteen sheep and three lambs are on
their way consigned to the agricultural
department at Washington a fact that
presents considerable interest for tho
agriculturally minded. They were ship
ped from Persia, and an attempt is to
be made to iutroduce their breeding into
this country.
These sheep are said to be noted for
the beauty and richness of their skins,
which are the purest astrakhan. As a
warm climate is necessary for their ex
istence, at least for the present, they
will probably be sent to southern Cali
fornia or to somo other warm climate,
where their valuo and adaptability to
this country can be determined. Wor

Hosts of unemployed men and others
Beeking temporarily to better their con

ninsula now to pick small fruits for the
markets of Philadelphia and New York.
The fruit growers erect rude sheds in
the open fields, and here the berry pick
ers eat and sleep while the season lasts.
The earnings of berry pickers are con
siderably above tho average pay of farm
hands. Later in the season come the

all parts of the northern Atlantic slope,
feared by the native farmers and hated
as competitors by the negro farm labor

Bert C. Hunter, a prominent mining

from a sixty grain dose of morphine,
taken with suicidal intent Physicians
worked over him for seventeen hours
without success. Toward the last,
while being jolted on a board, slapped

An important discovery of very ex

even supposed to rival the enormous
iron ore mountain at Gellivora, in north
Sweden, has quite recently been mado
in Finland by M. Stjernvall, the geologist
Diamond at the Fair.
The exhibit of minerab and precious
stones at the World's fair in Chicago
will bo unusually complete and interest
ing. Tho diamond department, undei
direction of a company from South Af
rica, will be more closely studied than
anything else, for here in a mass of
"blue stuff" will be hidden $230,00C
worth of diamonds, some of which will
every day be washed out and put on the
polishing wheel in the presence of the
public The old ways of diamond min
ing, like the old ways of gold washing,
are gone, never to return, and the in
dustry is now reduced to the same mat
ter of fact business as manufacture.
Tho entire process, from shoveling the
clay to the work of dredging, washing
in rotary machines, sorting pebbles and
cutting and polishing, will be seen daily.
The De Beers and Kimberly mines
will supply most of the material. It is
about a quarter of a century since old
r anner De Beers sat under a tree watch
ing his little girl roll a pebble on his
lawn. A trader named O'Reilly hap
pened to pass and the glitter of the
plaything attracted his notice. Exam
ination proved it to be a fine diamond.
Prospectors came swarming in as soon

years later the farmer was glad to sell
his farm for $30,000 to get rid of the

gems had been taken out of his farm,
but he was probably satisfied, for he be
longed to an unexcitable race. Exchange.
