Uncle Sau's navy is small, it is true, but if some foreign power should pre sume too much on that fact, there might be a wonderfully unpleasant surprise in store for that power. When Yankee in genuity and energy get to work, there is no limit to the surprises. Lincoln Journal. In the three months which endo l with March nineteen trusts were formed in England, ns compared with fifteen in the whole of 18s8. Free trade is no more responsible for the trusts than protection is, but it is a suggestive fact that the one conspicious free trade country of the world has nearly ns many of them as all the other nations combined. The Dallas (Texas) News calls atten tion to the fact that "Texas has about 30,000,000 of acres that she is anxious to dispose of to immigrants on their own terms. And it is as fine land ns can be found on the earth." There is no doubt truth regarding the quality of the land, and besides the climate is excellent. Whenever Texas cets into the mood to welcome immigrants, as Dakota, Kanst?, Nebraska, Iowa, and California do, she she will get.thein. 31 AY TAtLE TALK.

''There are moments when silence pro longed and unbroken More expressive may be than all words ever spoken."

A n Old Telegrapher's Successful Eiperl m rut with Mnnw Sounder. " 3omo years ago;" said A. Howard, "ui life and $20,000 belonging to tny partner, Jim Bigney, and myself were saved and a gang of robbers broken up by means of an electric belL Jim and I had been telegraph operators, but had abandoned the business for mining. We had luck in prospecting, and after a few yearn bad sold our claims for $27,300, of which we took 7,800 in promissory notes and started east with the balance, chiefly in bank notes. It appears that three outlaws learned the real valuo of our old trunks and contents. I bad left 9n at iho clerk's .debk of a new f angled hotel in a western town and followed the par ties as they carried tho baggage to the front end of our room on the fourth floor. After dismissing them I had shut tho door, neglecting to lock it, however, ami had turned to tho washstand behind, when I heard the door swing slowly open behind me. "Thinking it was Jim, I rinsed the lather fro:n my face and turned, only to tind u man holding u nix shooter in my face, another locking the door and a third making a break for the trunk. 1 wanted at first to argue the matter from a staiifljioint of morality, ami so inquired what right they had to disturb mo in dressing. But t ho man with the gun re marked axiomatically. 'Might makes all things right, stranger, and this id might, tapping his vea)o:i with the disengaged hand. I felt that the silent instrument in his hand was a deeper, a more potent argument than any I could advance un der existing circumstances. " 'Back him up to tho wall and keep him covered until we get the stuff, and then we'll slit his throat and lope,' re sumed the leader. "Though the programme did not just suit me, I acquiesced, as far as tho wall. 'Put your hands behind you, command ed my jailer. I did, when a happy thought struck me. My right hand had come in contact with a knob, which I recognized as tho electric bell which communicated with the clerk. This was a feature of civilization the robbers were not posted about. Unobserved by them, I began sending the following message: " Jiu Three robbers have the door locked, and are just waiting to get our dust to murder me. Get a man and step ladder, and don't make a Bign of noise, put ii gua through the transom and shoot. Bo quick and careful.' "My only hopo was that Jim might be still lounging where I left him, in which case his ear would quickly catch on. There was n chance in a hundred, and 1 began to sweat very freely. But I started repeating the message, and was nearly through, when bang, bang, two shots were fired from over the door, and the man, who had not been hit, turned just enough to let me hit him back of tho ear with my right hand tho force of despair and the knowledge of being on the right siJe at last. It would be painting it a shade light to say wo had sprung a sur prise party on tho visitors. I had a gun in a moment, and kept the thieves at bay until the two men outside got in and tied thorn up. except the leader, who was as dea I as a man ever gets to be. The other wounded one died in a hospital three ic-r.ths afterward, and my jailer was TO BE TOP Given Away xhibiiion Muggy On E In Front of our Store, ESegant Tuo nn EVERY rUKCIIASEU OF ONE DOLLAR'S WORTH OF Clothing, Furnishing Goods HATS, CAPS, BOOTS and SHOES, or anything in our Elegunt Line of Good-, WILL RECEIVE EntiteliuT them to a clianco at the Drawing which will take place October 1st. .

"As 1 had expected, when tho bell be gan ringing tho me.isago in the office, j Jim was there and' commenced taking it. Tho clerk gazed iu such astonish ment that he forgot to start a boy up to answer it for a minute, when Jim pulled his gun and remarked: 'Tho first man that leaves this room gets all I've got hero in the neck.' When he had got the 'ringogram,' as he afterward termed it, ho rapidly explained, cautioned every body else not to follow, took a drummer he had met on the train, snatched a lad der, and as soon as ho could climb around the job was done." St. Louis G lobe-Democrat. A Pretty Action. A newsboy took the Sixth avenue ele vated at Park place at noon yesterday, and sliding into one of the cross seats fell asleep. At Grand street two young wo men got on and took the seats opposite tho lad. His feet were bare and his hat had fallen off. Presently the younger girl leaned over and placed her muff under tho little fellow's dirty cheek. An old gentleman in the next 6eat smiled at the act and without saying anything held out a quarter, w-ith a nod toward the boy. The girl hesitated a moment and then reached for it. The next man just as silently offered a dime, a woman across the aisle held out some pennies, and be- foro 6he knew it the girl, with flaming cneexs, naa taxen money irom every passenger in that end of the car. She quietly slid the amount into the sleeping lad's pocket, removed her muff gently from under his head without rousing him and got off at Twenty-third street, Including all the passengers in a pretty little inclination of tho head that seemed full of thanks and the possession of a common secret.
