A great oy tor nnd clam opening woa ad vertised , in which Philadelphia had ils honor and glory for _ all future time at stako. If tlio chnninion of the City of Brotherly Love should not deposit his lni > t juicy slioll-fish in the bucket before hia antagonist should crack his 200th inol- lusk the profession of the town would bo iTotriovnbly disgraced , and besides , the greater part ot the last months wages which hud been staked upon the favorite would bo lost. A little mild clog-dancing and some spicy sparring norvoa torhot thot appe tites of the audience fcr the exhibition of the day. Dotwoon heats , to to apeak , various knives and blocks , with their re spective advantages , \roro discussed. Whether it was hotter to crack or to stab wan also talked over , it being the unani nious belief that stabbing was the only true and workmanlike manner of separating ing the clinging shells. At la&t , when the concluding clogstor had given lib foot a final shako ana the blare of the trombone had died away , n boy came on with a bucket of oawdust that wai to make it seem natural to their foot. A gentleman with a jacket an nounced tnnt Ooorgo Beech , the cham pion of Pennsylvania , would open 200 oystord against _ Ooorgo Cobino , of Tren ton , the champion of Now Jersey. Two wooden stands wore brought in and nailed to the floor , lost the cracksmen should be come nervous and tip them over. A tin pan was then nailed to each atnnd , and an iron block was also fastened to the same. Barry Coonoy was nominated as judge for Philadelphia , and Mr. llines for Now Jersey. The gentleman in tlio short coat was confirmed as roforco. Champion Bnech , clad in an ecru cardi gan jacket and a long white' apron , stood behind his eland end arranged his oya tora. Champion Cobino , arrayed in i white winding shoot and aomo orange colored hair , took his position and grasped hia instrument of torture. "Are you ready ? " said the referee. "Ready , " said the champions. "Gql" Whack , dash , gurgle , blip , and the juioy bivalve was sliding about in the empty pan , followed in two seconds by another. This wont on for about ton seconds when Cobino struck a tough ono from which the knife slipped off , and ho said a bad word. The audience cheered. Beech worked on with the regularity of a machine , deftly knocking the mouth off by a single blow , stabbing the creature with his pointed knife , and , by a dex trous twist , throwing the- upper shell clean into the barrel r loaning the oyster itself into the pan and dropping the other shell as ho reached for another. Novar a false motion nor any excitement were visible. Cobino , on the other hand , stood his oyutcr on end , hanged it on the edge , flipped it into the pan and' ' slung thu sheila clinging together anywhere. Beech reached his fiftieth nine seconds uhoad of his rival. At the ono hundredth and thirteenth Cobino dropped his knife , but whipped up another like a flash from the bench , whereat the Trenton gang cheered and a aupo picked up the falloa weapon. At the ono hundred and twenty- fourth ho dropped hia knife a second time and fell oohind an' oyster's lengthi From that time on ho grow calmer , , however - over and shucked his oystora with' nlarm- ing rapidity , while Beech worked on as calmly aa if he were behind hia own counter. The Trenton crowd attempted' n little applause , but were ! hushed Jby a' cry of "order" by the quiet citizens of the Quaker City. Finally , at the ox- pitation of nine minutes and thirty seconds ends , Beech dropped his knife nd 'throw ' his last oyster in the full vessel. Co bino waa just fifteen behind , , and was de clared defeated. Ho then made a short epooch inviting the victor to Trenton , . where ho would "treat him squaao. " The oysters were selected , no frozen oyntora being-allowed- were opened at the rain of * one in 2.85 second * . The contest waa for 0250 a aido. Beech -was fovind five minutes later "stabbing" oyotora and drawing beer in his saloon across tlio way aj if nothing' had hap pened.

The well-known method of preserving posts and wood wliich are partly hubad. nod in the earth , bychanum and coating with tar , are only effective when both are applied. Should the poloa bo charred without the subsequent treatment with tar , the charcoal formation ou the surface only acts as an absorber of the moisture , and only hastens the decay , tty applying a coating of tar without previous charring - ring , tlio tar would only form a casing about the wood , nor would it penetrate to the depths which the absorbing proper ties of tlio charcoal surface would insure Wood that is exposed to the action o water or lot into the ground should firs' ' be charred , and thori , before it has entire ly cooled , bo treated with tar until tl * wood is thoroughly impregnated.

The fortunes made in connection with thoorganizationand busines.iof the Ameri can Boll Tolophonocompany aronumorous and phonomJnal. No other enterprise in recent years had given such returns to these who were engaged in or connected with it. Started but n few short years ago , with its stock selling at a nominal figtiro.it has risen with BUCH rapidity that men have become millionaires before they were aware of it , while hundreds of others have amassed n larger fortune than they over expected to possess in the short space of from throe to sir years. Alexander Graham Bell , the originator of the enterprise , waa prior to the inven tion of the telephone a teacher of 'lan guages in the Boston university. Ho and hia father made a specially of teaching articulation to the mute those whoso vo cal powers lacked training because the power of hearing waa lacking. During thin time ho was making oxperimontsand it is believed it was conceived and consu- mated the idea of speaking by means of electric wires. The prospect waa not flattering at first , but , with the assistance of his father-in law , Prof. Boll finally enlisted - listed the inlorost and the money of such men ta John M. Forbes , G. L. Bradley , and others. To-day Prof. Bell is resid ing in Washington , and ho also has a magnificent residence in Cambridge. Hia fortune is variously estimated at from $3,000,000 to § 5,000,000. At the time of the fight bet u eon the Western Union nad the Boll Telephone company the latter was apparently get ting the worst of it when tho-Blake trans- milter made its , appearance , and fortune at once began to dnwn upon the young company. It is noi known definitely ! whether anybody wns interested' with Blftko in this invention but it i pretty certain , according to M reports , that the latter got a very largo sum fronv the Boll company for his invention , and ho also secured considerable stock , ns well as a royalty on hia patent. His aharo in- the stocks and the royalty fronvhis invention have netted him a fortune * which well ap proximate $4,000,000. At the time that William H'i'Forbes first invested in the telephone the stock was selling very low sontewhoro from § 20 to $ ) ! per aharo. Thostock has siuco boom "watered" by giving , the holder of every aharo aovon Daw shares- , and the eight are now worth more than § 150 each , making a raise of from-$20'to § 1,200 or moro. . . Gossip has it that Mr. Forbes borrowed or received § 60,000 from his father to put into telephone stocks , nnd that , this lias swelled' to a larger fortune than over his father owned , Ho is credited with being worth from § 5,000,000 to $8,000.000.
