How Smart Mldthipman Got Htmootf Out of Scrap*. On board a man-of-war bound to San Francisco from China was a young midshipman named Walters. He was a favorite with, the officers, and had in him the talent for making a fine officer. The midshipmen on board stood their watch forward, and every hour It was their duty to come aft and write up the weather columns of the ship's log, showing the readings of the barometer and thermometer and to heave the ship's log to ascer­ tain her speed. The captain, in company with the officer of the deck, was walking the weather side of the deck conversing when Midshipman Walters came aft to write up the log. The barometer, a mercurial one, was hung in the cap­ tain's cabin, and Walters, after having read it, helped himself liberally to the captain's sherry on the cabin side­ board. In" walking the deck the cap­ tain happened to glance down the cabin skylight and saw the midship­ man's proceedings. When Walters came up on deck to heave the log the captain addressed him ae follows: "How Is the barometer, Bir?" Walters saluted and said: "Stead­ ily rising, sir; steadily rising." The c&ptaln then asked: "And bow Is the decanter, sir?" Walters was taken aback, but with a steady voice replied: "Steadily falling, sir; steadily falling." This reply was too much for the captain, and, bursting out laughing, he said: "Young .man, your bright reply has saved you from punishment; but it is a long way to. Frisco, so hereaf­ ter I beg of you not to consult the de­ canter as often as you do the barom­ eter." . TROUBLE8 OF A RACONTEUft. Always Some EyewltnewT tt 8poI| Good Story. The late John T. Crisp was a par­ ticipant in the battle of Westport. He liked to describe the engagement from •his point of view, and he never failed to interest his auditors. A few years ago, while seated at a "round table" in a downtown cafe, he gave, accord­ ing to a friend, free vent to Ills won­ derful imagination, in the presence of Richard Gentry and others who were at the scene of battle at the time it raged the fiercest. The colonel told of the way his com­ pany had charged the enemy, of how the Federalists were put to flight, and of how he himself had been in the forefront of the bloody battle. Gentry, who was a member of Crisp's company, finally Interrupted a beautiful piece of word painting about the horrors of war by saying: "Now, colonel, you know you ran like on that day. I was running with you and you kept ahead of me until we were out of range of the Union guns. Yes, sir, you ran, sir; by gad, sir, you re­ treated, sir, and I retreated with you." Col. Crisp, so the story goes, calm­ ly looked at Gentry for a moment and then, in his most explosive manner, exclaimed: "I never told a good story In my life that some blanked eyewitness did not* jump up and spoil it."--Kansas City Star.

The British house of lords has long since ceased to be a strictly heredi­ tary body. Over 200 of its 590 mem­ bers owe their presence to- other causes than descent. Quite a number of the hereditary lords are debarred from voting by the fact that they are either minors, undischarged bank­ rupts or inmates of lunatic asylums. The non-hereditary lords comprise the archbishops and bishops of the Church of England and those who have been created peers by Queen Victoria and King Edward fur special services ren­ dered to the crown.

Russia, Austria and Italy have form­ ally recognized Peter Karageorgevltch as king of Servia. The czar's tele­ gram to King Peter was quickly fol­ lowed by personal messages from Francis Joseph and Victor Emmanuel. The one disquieting feature of the recognition of King Peter is contained in Emperor Francis Joseph's telegram, which is almost a menace to Servian peace. The emperor expresses the hope that King Peter will restore Ser­ via to the respect of the world "by raising it again after the severe fall which 1% recently sustained in the eyes of the civilized world, through the heinous and universally reprobated crime." King Peter is assured of Aus­ tria's support in executing the task. This denunciation of the assassins of King Alexander and Queen Draga, it is feared in political circles, is a tacit command to King Peter to pun­ ish the conspirators--a command which the new king will hardly dare to disobey. Any attempt to punish the officers, it is certain, will result in most serious consequences. The newspaper correspondents were admitted to the apartments In which King Alexander and Queen Draga were murdered. Servian officers, chat­ ting and smiling, led their guests to the different rooms, eagerly pointing out the bullet holes, dynamite jnarks and blood stains, and displaying the greatest solicitude that none of the traces of the slaughter should be over­ looked. Queen Draga's costly gowns and lingerie were overhauled by the rough hands of the soldiers and jests were made concerning the drawer full of toys, which it was suggested were intended for the "expected heir." A sim: a wardrobe room, leading directly from the bedroom, was the scene of the final act of the drama. The apartment is lofty, but scarcely seven feet wide and fifteen feet long, and is furnished only with three great wardrobes. The officers pointed out the bloodstained floor at one end of the room where the king and queen fell, and the broken shutter at the window through which their bodies were thrown to the ground below. A secret stairway leads through the floor to the rooms in the southern end of the palace. By this stairway the couple might have attempted to es­ cape, but tney were unable to do so because the opening of this stairway was covered by a heavy chesL Escape In any event, would have been impossible, as the soldiers who had surrounded the palace were so determined to kill the king and queen that they had even placed cannon in front of the palace and were prepared to destroy the building in the event of failing to And their prey. PITT8BURG BANKS IN COMBINE. Nine Powerful Financial Institutions Amalgamated. Under the name of the Colonial Trust company, with a capitalization of 17,000,000, surplus and undivided profits of $16,000,000, and deposits of $78,000,000, nine banks are to be con­ solidated at Pittsburg In the im­ mediate future. The combination is the greatest one of banking interests ever undertaken and the institution will be the most powerful of the kind between Phila­ delphia and Chicago. The following financial concerns are included in the merger: Farmers' Deposit National bank, ColonlaP Trust company, Colonial National bank, American Trust company, Pennsyl­ vania Trust company, Columbia National bank. Tradesmen's National bank, Germania Savings bank, and Freehold bank. President T. Hart Given of the Farmers' Deposit National bank will be the head of the institution. While plans for the consolidation have been practically completed, several days will be required to work out the details of the merger. It will have the backing of the most active and aggressive of the strong flnancia groups west of New York. Will Not Sew en Aiceniio# Sewing was practically suspended In York, Penna., on Thursday, because of an old superstition that she who plies a needle on Ascension Day is in danger of being struck by lightening. Many of the shirt factories In the city worked short-handed and some were compelled to shut down because of this superstition. Tailors found it im­ possible to keep women gar­ ment workers at work, and so did dressmakers. A bolt of lightening would have had to come from a clear sky, as the sun shown fiercely. There is no record there of a death by lightening on Ascension Day, yet the women in this section of the State firmly adhere to -the ancient supersti* ttaa.--Baltimore Sun. .< y EASY EASY TO TO FIT.

That position is now held by Rudolph Keppler. He has completed recently his fifth term of service. He spends an hour a day probably in the executive offices of the exchange, the remainder of his time being taken up with his own private business at 26 Broad street.

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts says that the highest compliment he ever received was the remark made by a juryman many years ago. Mr. Hoar was attorney in a case tried before twelve good men and true in a Massa­ chusetts court After the verdict had been returned one of the jurymen gave this as his reason for voting as he did: "Squire Hoar told us that it was right and just." The senior sen­ ator from the bay state is quoted as saying that he would rather have earned such a tribute of homely con­ fidence as that than all the panegyrics which biographers have bestowed upon famous advocates. HE Author's Use of Phonogfepft. - Gen. Charles King finds it necessary to explain that he uses the phonograph not to turn off copy faster, but simply to provide a convenient record In case of the loss of a manuscript, a mis­ fortune which had happened to him once or twice. He plans his work carefully and then dictates to the talking machine, from which the rec­ ord is taken by a typewriter. i7'.i ^ ;/r" > '1* " 1 ^ *1 Popular German General^^'i Count Von Haeseler, who has just resigned command of the Sixteenth Army corps, undoubtedly was the most popular general in the German army. It was his ambition to see that even private soldiers carried out orders with intelligence. On on4 occasion he ordered a cavalryman to ride to a hill a mile distant where stood a solitary tree. When the soldier returned the general asked what sort of a tree It was. "I do not know," said the man, drawing a twig from his boot, "but I brought this for your excellency." The soldier's forethought was re­ warded with a piece of gold. Lawyer Suddenly Stricken Dumb. r While arguing a case In the United States court in Wheeling, W.

How Haberdasher Succeeded in flbslt> ing Atrocious Patterns. Women invaded a haberdasher's^ shop in Broadway the ottter day, dei manding the refunding of money for highly colored shirts that husbands or brothers had purchased. The shop is next door to a barroom noted for its "old-fashioned cocktails." Said one woman: "Robert came home with flushed face and unsteady gait the other night. Under his arm he had a bundle of shirts. They were a sight, with huge stripes and checks, and one had the most absurd sea horses in apple green. I said nothing until Robert recovered. Then I told him I should return them. He approved feebly, so I went there. I think there must have been seventeen other women demanding money for sea­ horse shirts. While I was waiting for: my $6 I heard one woman whisper: ^They got It next door. That's where they make those famous cocktails.' Then her companion said: "A good Idea to sell those atrocious shirts next door to that kind of place. Naturally, a m e n b u y s a n y t h i n g a t s i j e h , a New York Press* ? r ' 1 .

Two doctors--the best in this part of tne country--told me he would never get better, and to have seen him anyone else would have said they were right. His feet and limbs were swollen so that he could not walk nor put on his 'shoes. "Wnen the doctors told me he would Surely die, I Btopped giving him their medicine and began giving aim Dodd's Kidney Pills. I gave him three pills h. day and at the end of eight days the swelling was all gone, but as I wanted to be sure, I kept on %ith the pills for some time, gradu­ ally reducing the quantity, till finally I stopped altogether. "Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved my child's life. Before using thefh hie was a helpless invalid in his mother's arms from morning till night.
