All Havana is talking of the novel "get-rich-quick'1 scheme Inaugurated by John G. Neumelster, of Chicago, a financier and cheese manufacturer, who spent eight weeks in Cuba In vestigating the island's opportunities. An ordinance recently passed pro vides for the payment of bounties for the slaying of sharks. For every fe male shark killed in Havana waters $3 is to be paid, for every male $2. Mr. Neumelster was hero when the ordinance was first published. He be gan immediately to "work the wires" botween Havana and Chicago. He in terested Chicago friends, and in less than a week the Havana-American shark syndicate (unlimited) was pre pared to begin operations. A large quantity of a peculiar high explosive was ordered shipped to Ha vana at once. At the same time 50 men were put to work capturing and corralling all the stray dogs to bo found in the city and country adjua cent. These men were given author ity to buy dogs, if they could not ob tain them otherwise. A small farm was rented near the city for the ac commodation of the canines. Dog flesh is the daintiest epicurean morsel that could possibly be served to a hungry shark. Mr. Neumelster and his associates also knew that sharks could com municate with each other with won derful facility. Given one dead dog In the waters of Havana harbor the system of communication practised in Sharkdom would soon summon ev ery dog-loving shark reachable in the gulf and the Atlantic. The syndicate proposed first to feed a few unloaded dogs to the sharks, In order that tho news might become generally circulated. A few days of this sort of baiting, then tho high ex plosive was to get in its deadly work. The dogs were to be sent adrift with an explosive cartridge tied to each of them. A hundred or more hungry man-eaters would begin a combat for the prize, aman in a boat would press a. button and the cartridge would do the rest. The supply of dogs in Cuba and the supply of sharks in the ocean being alike inexhaustible, the established fact that four pounds of the explo sivo attached to one dog would fur nish the syndicate with at least a dozen sharks, averaging In municipal bounty $2.50 each; a "catch" from one boat not consuming more than 30 minutes; 100 boats in operation, bring ing in 2,400 sharks an hour,-or $6,000 bounty every 60 minutes why, it was a Klondike game that made the cheese factory and the stock market seem a waste of time. The question that Is affording he Havana-American shark syndicate the greatest concern is, which will last longer, the dogs atid sharks or Ha vana's treasury? Havana, Cuba, cor respondence New York Herald. The Consumer Pays It. The Chicago Record-Herald is quite correct when it says of the report of the "anthracit3 coal commission that Roosevelt praises so highly that "tho trust can certainly regard It with great equanimity because the illegal acts that are charged against it are ignored, its business methods are not condemned, its treatment of its em ployes receives Tactically no cen sure." The miners got a raise in wages and the only follow who got left is the householder who has to pay an extra price for coal apd thus is made to foot all the bills including the cost of the strike and the raise in "wages. Lincoln (Neb.) Independent Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Tribute was paid last night to the memory of Tbomas Jefferson, not as president of tho United States, not as the founder of a great political par ty, but as the author of the Declara tion of Independence. The one hun dred and fifty-ninth anniversary of Jefferson's birth was celebrated by the Thomas Jefferson Memorial as sociation with an elaborate banquet at the Hotel Barton, at which covers were laid for more than 150 guests. The celebration was devoid of nil that smacked of partisanship. Eulogy to the memory of Jefferson was pro nounced by Senator Hoar, the vener able republican statesman from Mas sachusetts, and Charles Emory Smith, formerly in the cabinet of President McKinley as a republican, as well as by William Jennings Bryan, twice the democratic nominee for president, and Andrew Jackson Montague, the democratic governor of Virginia. Commissioner Henry B. F. Macfar land, a republican, welcomed tho ban quet guests, and Thomas Nelson Page, tho author, a democrat by birth and training, bufr to whoso name no political significance' attaches, pre sided as master of ceremonies. Tho other speakers were Dr. Charles W. Needham, president of Columbia uni versity, and Mr. Andrew A. Lips comb a prominent lawyer and ono of tho founders of tho Thomas Jefferson Memorial association. The occasion was tho first at which Jefferson's memory has been publicly celebrated solely as the author of the Declaration of Independence, and was tho inauguration of the work which tho Memorial association has under taken, that of erecting in this city a fitting -memorial to tho man to whom tho American republic owes so grea a debt Washington Post Paragraphic Punches.
