DEATEN AT NEW YORK BY THE POLICE. The Rights Twain's Remarkable Success-- Forty Years Ago He Was a Newspaper Reporter. Special correspondence; letter No. 1571. New York, July 4--The summér he- gira is at full tide. Churches are clos ing and shepherds are folding away their clerical attire. The tourist is out to spend his loose change. Some one has made an estimate of the amount of money pleasure-seckers carry out of the country, placing it at $3,000,000. Take this vast sum and add to it the un- earned wages of nearly 100,000 strikers in different parts of the country, and we can almost see our national ruin, if this condition is to continue much longer. The freight handlers and have been on a strike v months. All along the river-front freight has been piled up which the steamers wanted to carry but Which the strikers would not allow them to touch The steamship companies employed the Italians, who ar¢ now arriving here by thousands every week. The strikers, unable to endure their idleness any longer, resolved to give up the fight, made a wild rush for the ste offices and informed the companies that they were ready to go back, but, to the companies' honor, they were told that there were "no vacancies." There were some places that had been filled by men too old to work and others that were too young. The Italians saw their ad- vantage and demanded equal wages for all. These were discharged and a few of the strikers put in their places. When the discharged Italians got outside the gates the strikers fell upon them. They outnumbered the Italians, five to one, but the countrymen of Julius Caesar and Scipio Africanus were no holiday fight- ers and all were armed with some kind of deadly weapon. They fought with the desperation of madmen. The police reserves were called out, and although the rioters made common cause against them, never was seen a grander triumph of perfect discipline over disunited brute force. The ice numbered about 400, the rioters about 20,000. They received the first charge of the blue-coats with a terrible fusilade of all sorts of flying missiles and many of the police were seriously wounded, but they never fal- tered; they took it like veterans and marched on with the steadiness of fate. Those long night-sticks rose and fell with unerring aim, You may judge the fierce character of the conflict by the time it lasted (nearly five hours) before the murdetous rioters were beaten. All the houses in the vicinity were filled with the wounded.

The man who works must be a freeman; not one class only, but all classes of honest laborers.

Strange- ly enough this train of thought on evo- lution was called up by Mark Twain's reception at a supper given by "The Pilgrim's Club" at the Savoy hotel, Lon- don, Eng. The company that received 'him was the most distinguished that had been called to do honor to a private citizen for many a day, men eminent in literature, politics and fimance. When he entered the room the company rose to receive him, and I am sure he can never forget to his dying day this re- markable circumstance connected with the occasion--that King Edward and the Queen held' a royal reception that same afternoon and - that a number of invited 'guests, instead of going to the Mace, remained to receive "Mark wain." To appreciate the evolution that has taken place in Samuel Clemens' life, one must go back and see him as I saw him nearly forty years ago. He was a reporter on the Territorial Enter- prise, published at Virginia City, Ne- vada 1 no Juore PLO ise of ns pre- sent exalted position than he had of "Hying to the moon." 1 saw him almost duily.

For wonderful success, won without apparent effoat, his phenomenal achievement is without par- alle! in history, sacred or profane. -- BROADBRIM One Service A Year. There stands upon a hill in the village of Uphill, in the county of Somerset, a small and very old church, which is sur- rounded by caves in which the bones of all kinds of animals have been discov- ered. This historic place of worship, which looks down upon Uphill Castle and the village itself, was at one time the only place of worship for miles round For several years no Sunday services have been held within its wa and the only time that the public are allowed to worship there is one night in the year-- on Christmas eve--when the vicar of Uphill or some other clergyman offi- ciates. 'There is a footpath leading up the hill to the church, but as the hill is a very steep one d the distance great, very few people visit the church. It is by order of the Ecclesiastical Commis- sioners_ that it is opened to the public once a year Curious stories are told regarding this interesting edifice, one of which 1s to the effect that the church was purposely built on the top of the hill, so that the preacher could feel convinced of the sin- cerity of the faith of those who accom- plished the task of climbing to it. The church has been visited by people from all parts of the world If is the only building in England--probably in the world--in which Divine service is con- ducted only once a year Tax On Dancing. From London Globe. In Prussia they tax everything. Even a dance does not escape. Anybody get- ting up a ball must pay the "rejoicing duty." The duty is levied as a munici pal rate. It has recently been the cause of an amusingly curious dispute. The officers of the Fifth Artillery, stationed at Sagan, recently got up a ball, and were promptly called upon by the local authorities to "pay duty on their refoicings.' Thereupon, "the officers pleaded that for military men dancing was a sacred duty, and as they might almost be considered 'on ballroom ser- vice, when a ball was onght wot to be taxed. The general commanding the Fifth Corps d' Armée, in whose district Sagan is, upheld this view, and so did the war minister. Then the council turned in despair to the county committee. This body decided that the officers must pay, but they do not look upon themselves as beaten yet, though what obstructive step they will take next is fiot knbwn. The whole sum at stake is abot fen marks, or about 88 4d. Mage mare men would buy gold bricks if they were to be bad on the Listatment plan. ( i action in the organized they . SUED FOR MOUSTACHE. Cruel Friend Clipped Ends of Adormnment. Herr Borel, a merchant, brought an High Court at Prague, Vienna, claiming £2350 damages from a former friend named Dragone, who had clipped off the ends of his moustache with a pair of scissors at a carnival ball Twelve witnesses called by Herr Borel described in glowing terms the magnificence of his moustache.

Many valuable pearls'have been found in the Jast five years. One found near Lansing, lowa, in 1902, was sold in Bos- ton for $65.000. Tt was nearly aw. inch in diameter, flawless, and of the regular "pearl" color. The "Queen Mary," found the same year and in nearly the same place, is now owned by a Chicago lady, and cost her $30,000. It'is of a lovely pink color, and is somewhat the shape of a cranberry. It was nearly lost to the world, however, as the tired clammer overlooked it when he was sorting over his shells just before his late evening meal His wife, 'waiting more or 1dss impatiently for him to fin- ish while the. supper cooled in the near-by tent, seated herself upon a pile of "culls," and while idly. tossing them about she noticed something sexing to one of them.

One of the worst experiences that a crew at sea hms ever lived through was reported yesterday by the sailors of the Italian bark Gabriele, which arrived in Jort after a voyage of sixty-two days rom Buenos Ayres. The cargo of the vessel consisted of animal bone gathered for fertilizing purposes. When a few days out, the insects among the cargo, numbering millions, appeared on the decks. They got into every part of the ship. They preyed on the food They dropped from the ceiling onto the table and into the bunks ng made life un- bearable. The crew had to wear masks and long coats at all times to prevent being eaten by the army of bugs. In spite of all these precautions all on board were ter- ribly bitten before they reached port. In nddition to the insects many lz- ards crawled intd the bedding of. the men. Many of them were bitten by the snakelike creatures. Captain Starace feared at times that the crew would de- sert the ship in the small boats so had was the pest. In addition to the other discomforts the odor that arose from the hold made the ship almost uninhabit- able. It was a much relieved reached Sandy Hook. crew that Aeronauts In The Sea. Westminster Gazetts It is not a little remarkable that al- though scores of malloons have been driven out to sea, cases in which this misadventure has ended fatally are few . More than a century ago, when Ma- jor Money made an ascent from Nor. wich, he was compelled to descend in the sea, where he remained for seven hours until his plight was seen and he was rescued by the crew of a revenue cutter... Some years later, in 1812, J Sadler narrowly escaped drowning in an attempt to cross the Irish Channel; his balloon dropped into the water some miles off Liverpool 'and he was on the point of succumbing when rescue came m the form of a fishing boat, In a similar attempt a Mr. Croshie was saved when almost in extremis many miles from the English coast. Lunardi, in 1785, nearly lost his life in the sea off Edinburgh, and in the same year two acronauts, in an attempt to cross the English Channel, had po a narrow escape. Women Librarians London Standard, Lady librarians are not much in evi- dence in London, but they have a con- siderable majority over men in the colonies. The municipal library in nearly évely Australian country town is in charge of a lady. In Sydney there are eleven ladies employed us government libra- rians, all, with one exception, univers sity graduates. The government lady librarian starts at £75 and rises by an- nual increments to £150 One of them was recently asked for an indication of the present reading tastes of the Australian public, and her reply was couched in commercial terms: "George Meredith is in most demand; Dickens and Thackeray are less asked for, and Scott is practically dead stock.
