BEFORE COMMISSIONERS Miohiean Lumbermen are at Washington Looking After Their Interests. Washington, Jim. 25.���The rate of rluty to be charged upon Canadian lumber coming into the United States is suid to be the priucipal thing now remaining to be settled by the Auglo- American commission. When that has been disposed of a speedy conclusion of the labors of the commission may he expected. A delegation of Michigan lumbermen vouched Washington today and will go before the American commissioners tomorrow to urge them to agree to a compromise ou the rate of f 1 per thousand. One of them said: "There are 27 mills on the eastern shore of Michigan with nn average nn- nnal capacity of 20,000,000 feet of lumber. If some arrangement iH not made by which they can secure logs from Canada they will hnve to close. Three fourths of their products ^ccs through planing mills and box factories nnd those must close, of course, with the mills. If the present eondi tious continue nine months there will be a lumber panic in tho United .States and prices will go up $4 a thousand. There aro indications of it now. Buy ers have been in Way fStij recently looking for n certain grade and quality of stuff that bus hitherto heen obtainable in the nsnnl methods uud ciiulil not find a carload of it in ull the yards."

It is conceded that the document is cleverly phrased with the intention to put the United States Government in the wrong in the estimation of the world and it is suspected from the half concealed arvogance of the demand to be iufovmed of the puvpose of the United States Government in sending reinforcements to the Philippines that this communication may mark the adoption of a new hue of policy by the insurgents in the Philippines. The fivst manifestation nf this, in case it is decided to resort : to open hostilities, probably will be the sudden departure of Agoncillo and | his staff from Washington and from the limits of the United States.

A Buffulo dispatch under date of Jan. 211 says: Locked iu a monstrous icefloe, the Canadian ferry.

The passengers, realizing their situation, were horror-stricken with th'' tour of being carried over the falls, ami the moro imminent danger of being dashed against u pier of the International bridge. The calls of tho ferry- whistle attracted attention from shore, and fire-tugs wor�� started from the harbor a mile above, to endeavor to rescue the helpless craft.

A NEW GOVERNOR. Washington, Jan. 25.���Not since the stirring days bofore the declaration of war last spring has the house witnessed such an exhibition of excitement and such scenes of unbounded enthusiasm as occurred today when two Republicans, Mr. Johnson of Indiana, and Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa, looked horus on the question of expansion. The army bill which was under debate was swallowed in the broader question of future national policy. Mr. Johnson secured time from the Democratio side to attack the position of the Administration. It was not the first time he has broken away from his party on public questions. He denounced tho proposition to annex the Philippines as subversive of every tradition dear to tho American heart in the past and the inauguration of n policy that would end iu the downfall of the Republic. He said tho ratification of the treaty by the Senate would sound the death kuell of all the efforts of those who wero trying to prevent the country from rushing ou to suicide aud de- ! clared if he wore a Sonator he would rot in his seat before ic should be ratified. Ho denounced the President as tho slavish follower of pubic opinion, but he warned him thnt the tide would recede nnd the voice of the people would in time rebuke him. When he had finished, Mr. Dolliver came to the defence of the Administration. He doscribed how tbe presi lout had been fairly driven into war by those who now sought to embarrass him before peace was dofiuitely obtained aud his eulogy of the president patiently meeting ull the peiploxing problems which beset him as the great ovonts of tho last year moved on, aroused his side and the galleries to cheors. Tho highest pitch of excitement was reached when Mr. Johnson and Mr. Dolliver got to eloso quarters towards the ond of tho letter's speech. Mr. Johnson pressed the defender of the administration to disclose tho President's ultimate purpose regarding the Philippines, but Mr. Dolliver, for some time, adroitly evaded a direct response, At lust ho contented himsolf with declaring that this was not the point at issue, that tho first thing was to end the war by ratifying this treaty. Tho future of the Philippine! was a question for the future, SOME TORONTO NEWS, A Philippine Commissioner in the ��.,i ii City en Route lu Manila.

THE CASE AGAINST IT, If the Senate were a check against hasty or ill advised legislation, The Toronto Gloho claims that it ought to havo opposed the Canadian Pacific monopoly, tho gerrymander, and the Franchise Bill. These are the three measures which conclusively prove its partisanship and which arc to justify its extinction. Without the monopoly clause it is doubtful if a Canadian Pacific railway would have been begun when it was. A majority of Parliament at that timo believed that it was necessary to a contract, and tho genoral election of 18H2 showed beyond doubt that the country ulso believed it. It was not until some years afterwards, when tho evil of it was demonstrated so a- cutely by tho experience of Manitoba, that the country saw the mistake aud it was promptly abolished. In every election from 1882 to 1800 the country endorsed the gerrymander. As well expect to touch pitch aud not be do filed as to expect Parliament to he butter thau the people themselves. There was nothing iniquitous iu the old Krauchise Act; in many vespects it wus better than the present one. Tho worst that was ever truthfully said of if was thnt it was cumbrous and expensive. Iiet us hope nothing worse will ever be said of the one that has supplanted it. Thore was nothing in that Act which called for the intervention of-the Seuate, and. that body would have been guilty of inexcusable contumacy if ir hud opposed it.

The Colonial Goldfields Gazette iconics manfully to the defence of British Columbia against the reflections of the special correspondent of The London Economist, who pretended to have made a close inspection of mining conditions in this Province a short time ago It laughs at the suggestion that, although the country may have a promising future, it will not in practice "benefit tbe English financial or mining world." The reason given for this opinion is that mineral properties nre for the most part in tho hands of Canadians and Americans. The Gazette snows tho fallacy of this, and predicts that, because of scarcity of capital, they "must inevitably pass m lo tho hands of strong companies." That is already the experience. There is no trouble in getting English capital, us soon as development establishes ihe fact that mines are rich enough lo work, A VOICE FROM ALASKA. The Klondike craze having reduced itself to something approaching ru tional dimensions, many Americans who wont tumbling into that country ave now making for the Alaska side of the boundary line. During last year interest in Alaska mining has re vived almost to its old pitch. Wo get a good idea of what is being done in a letter contributed to the Seattle Post- Intelligencer, written "near Seventy��� Mile," and dated Nov. 2(i. Creeks and gulches everywhere are being prospected, with, of course, varying success. Some good strikes have been made, and among the fortunate ones mentioned is Dr. Peterson, of Vancouver, who washed out $9,000 in twenty- five days. But to Canadian readers tho chief interest of the letter is not in its iniii- iug intelligence, however complete or reliable that may be. Wo are too much aocoustomed to recitals of adventures, hardships, and rich discoveries, to say nothing of the disappointments, to become excited over them. The writer varies his long narrative with paragraphs here and there relating to matters of a purely Canadian character. For example, account im: in part for the Alaskan renaissance, he says: "What has contributed more than any other one thing to the surprisingly vapid development of the Amevicnn side this year is the petty tyranny, the absurd regulations and the distinctly corrupt practices of Canadian officialism at Dawson. It is safe to say that not less thau nine- tenths of those who ciinie to the Northwest this year expected to prospect exclusively in Canadian territory. Pilled with disgust at tho tre tment accorded them hy the Canadian olli cials, thev havo swarmed in thousands below the border and Alaska is getting tho benefit. " All that is supposed to have been changed by now; but tho ttatomont is one moro evidence in support of what has been so frequently oharged, that boodling. and corruption were the chief occupations of the Yukon officials, Something of a different sort is this: "Next to Dawson,of course,Eagle City is tho largest and liveliest town on thiO ukon. It is tilled with enterprising Americans of decided boom tendencies. Next to selling town lots and discoursing on the unexampled advantages of their towusite, the inhabitants have one ambition, namely, to catch a Oanndian police official (notably ex-Gov, Muj.

No one with kowledge of the opportunities whioh exisl for daep alluvial mining in Cariboo could make such an observation as Hint. Goldfields ave remarkable for their rapid growth, but they cannot settle down to solid mining hussiness in u day, and in the process there must necessarily lie failures as well ns successes.

Rossland Carnival Mow in Full Swing. affairs tip, but if not Rosslaud must go drv on its biggest Carnival Day. VISIT DID NO GOOD. T- LILLIE SUCCESSFUL The Best Dressed Gentleman at Carnival���Yesterday's Curling PcoreB the Rossland, Jan. 25. ���(Special)���The Nelson contingent is ou very gocd Vrms with itself this evening on ao count of the success of T. Lillie who captured the first prize at the carnival for best gentleman's oosiume. There were hundreds of people in the masquerade hut none could compare with the Nelson man. Nelson onrlers today were only moderately successful. Play in Grand Challenge commenced this morning and the first round resulted as follows: Grant, Nclfou. 19 vs. Brown, Revel stoke, 4. Peters, Nelson, 10 vs. Beamish, Rossland, 12. Tainblyn, Nelson, (i vs. Smith, Rossland, 11. Russel, Nelson, fl vs. Cranston, Ross land, lfi. Griinmett, Saudou, (i vs. Morkill, Rossland, \2. Waugh, Knslo, 2(5 vs Carlyle, Ross land, (i. In this, competition, Grant meets Fraser, of Rossland, tomorrow morning. In the first drnw for the Walkerville trophy, Grant was again the only Nelson wiuuor, he taking Beamish of Rosslaud into a camp by 24 to 4. The scores in this contest were: Cranston, H vs. Peters, (i. Waugh, 10, vs. Smith, 9. Carlyle, 12 vs. Russell, !i. Brown, 10 vs Hood, 11. Fraser, 12 vs. Tamblyn, ii. Beivmish, 4 vs. Grant, 24. Grant, meets Fraser in the second draw tomorrow. The Rossland vs. All Comers match wns played this afternoon and the All Coiners won by 88 to (15. In this contest Grant was tho only Nelson man t<i meet defeaf. The following were the scores, tho competing rinks mentioned first being the All Comers: Grimniett, Ki vs. Beamish, (!. Hood, 11 vs Cranston, 7. Russell, 8 vs. McArthur, Tamblyn, 10 vs. Morkill Waugh, 14 vs. Smith, ~. Peters, 10 vs. Klwood, 8. Grant, 8 vs Fraser, 12. Brown, 9 vs. Carlyle, IH. Tho visiting rinks will now down for the trophy. The weather is favoniule and the carnival is proving to be a lug sue cess. Groat interest in being manifested in tho hockey tournament und Nelson is expected to send a strong team. A largo number of Nelson people ate expected this evening. 8. 4. play The Nelson Hookey club had a splendid practice last eveniiu und if the men show up as well at Rossland as thoy did last night they should give n very good account of themselves. The Rosslaud team will be composed of Nnnn or S. Neelauds, goal; W. Duncan, point; Blackwood, cover; Wet more, T. Duncan, Henderson, Thompson, Furrier, forwnrds,one of them being a spuro man. The team leaves on the (i :40 train this evening and will return on Sunday. They play tomorrow eveuiug. Friday, Rossland's biggest carnival day, threatens to be a failure, if the closing of all tho saloons ou that day would make it so. It will be remembered that ono of the gentlemen elected as alderman at the late election failed to qualify. ThiB necessitated another choice and Tuesday was set ns nomination day aud Friday as election day, It was hoped that thore would be no ooutest but simply election by acclamation. These hopes were shattered, however. There were four nom ��� moos, J. S. Clute, Jr., M. S. Simpson, William Greer and Eli Lavally. It was not until the nominations were made that tho hotel men realized what an election would mean to them. Thoy had contributed largely to the carnival fund and if au election were held on Friday all saloons would have to close. Friday is to be the biggost day of the carnival; the day upon whioh tbe whole of Kootonay aud Spokane are to be represented and tho day of all days for the hotel and saloon men. An effort was at once made to have all of tho candidates but oue withdraw, thus avoiding the necessity of an election. All of tho candidates wero willing to do this with tho exception of Mr. Simpson, who would only agree to withdraw if all would withdraw. This wouldn't work as the others would not agroo to it. This is how the matter stood yosterdny. Sonie- P. 0. Inspector McLeod Decs Nothing For the Boundary Country Notwithstanding the visit of Inspector McLeod and the promise of better service in the future, says tho Boundary Crcik Times, the people of Boundary Creek are still enjoying somo delightfully interesting irregularities in connection with the delivery and conveyance of Her Majesty's mail, A business letter sent from this ofiice to Cascade City on December 19, reached its destination on January 14 or, as our correspondent aptly puts it, the letter took 2(i nays to make a distance of ilT miles. Fortunately it wns adorned with a throe-cent stamp. Tt would be really too bad if the new two-cent stamp with tho high sounding "Wc hold a vaster Empire than has been,'' should find a resting place nil a letter that was carried less than i ]..j miles per day. In tlie days of tin. more modest Empire and the ordinary three-cent slump, a faster service wns occasionally provided. The Rossland mail lias also been very irregular foj several weeks, but this is perhaps caused by tho difiioulty in orossiug the Columbia Hiver nn account of ice Altogether mail to aud from tin Boundary Creek country is handled in a very unsatisfactory manner, and ii should be part of the duties of the inspector to attend to the matter. Every week petitions and complaints are being sent to the department and no attention is being paid to them. It is of the highest importance that the letter service at least should be regular. local" ainTFersqnal John F. Joyce, of Joyce Bros., general merchants of Fernie, was in Nelson yesterday. G. H. Williams, traveling freight and passenger agent of the Greal Northern road, was in Nelson yesterday. J. W. Cowan, the "lightening express man," has sold out his business to Gonier, Davis <fc Co., who will continue it. Miss Lottie Williams was taken to Mrs. Crawford's yesterday, suffering from a severe attack of grippe and pneumonia. A child's mit was picked up on tho street yesterday and is at The Miner office where the owner can have it for the asking. A congregational meeting will he held in tho Presbyterian Ohuroh tonight. Refreshments will be served and everybody is invited to attend. W. P. Tieruivy of tho Gait Coal Co., of Lethbridge, states that .' the first time since Ihe agency has heen established they have plenty of coal. The C. P. R. Express Co. have re- ci'iitly opened offices along the Crow's Nest Pass Road, at Blairmore, Alhta, ; Ciow's Nest, Fisher and Kitchener An office at Moyelle will bo opened today. C. E Mallotte, former produce merchant, left yesterday morning for the Boundary country to collect some accounts and look over the field with a view to establishing himself at some point there. Tho proprietors of the Crystal Rink announce that they aro arranging for a big carnival to be held on the night of Keb. 1. There is now a good sheet of ice at the rink and tho patrongage is heavy. Mr. Leigh Henry, of the firm of Henry, Eorde & Co., left yesterday fur England on mining business. He will be absent several mouths and if rumor is corroct this popular bachelor will not return alone. Mr. W. O. Ditmars, of Vancouver, chief accountant for Mr. W. H. Armstrong has gone to Montreal on business connected with their Crow's Nest contract. Mr. Armstrong will follow in a few days and both will return in aiiout a month. The presence in tho city yesterday of Mr. Hugh Lunisden, chief of the 0. P. R. engineering staff, gave im petus to the minora tlmf wirk will shortly oommenoe on tb" western extension of the (Jl'OW'S West line from Kootenay Landing to Nelson. There are a number of contractors in tho city now waiting tho commencement of operations and they are quite confident that they will get to work soon. Mr. Lunisden left last night on a trip over the Robson line and it is expected that ho will look into the question of making some needed improvements on that part of the C. P. R. system. He will be in Nelsou towards tne rud of the week. Recent business changes in tho Kootenays are as follows: Ripslein und Berkinan, hotel keepers of Cranbrook have dissolved partnership, J. Berkman continuing; U. Oliver, grower of Nelson, has closed out and will open at Greenwood; Blanchard and Moore, havo opened a blacksmith shop at Cascade City; Shaw and Collins have gone into the stationciy business at Greenwood i Frank Guse has opened ii clothing store at Columbia, formerly Grand forks; Kane Brothers, of Craigtowii and Erin, have sold their Oroigtown business to H.

Mr, C. Dundee, the president of tiic company, oame down from Ross land aoooinpanied by his charming wife, to attend the opening, nnd Vice- president, Mr, W, A. (iulliher of Nel son, ulso arrived, Mr, O, Parker of the firm of Parker and Gurdwoorl who designed the tramway and concentrator was present, as was Mr. J. L Parker, the genial superintendent of the i unileo.iind Mrs. Parker. Mrs. Spencer nf this oity also accompanied the party, which included several gentlemen from Ymir and the representative of 'the Miller. About 2 p. in. the first ear of oie wns sent down tho gravity tramway from the mine to lhe concentrator, n second following shortly afterwards with equal success. Tho majority ol the party then adjourned In the mini to visit the workings. After the ladies hud rested from their trip to the bowels of tho earth, the party mounted their horses and went down to the concentrator. Everything was in readiness, and the start was soon made. Steam had been got up iu the engine, ami Mrs, Dundee set the machinery going. was asked to Dn 'Here's luck to the Dundee Gold Wining Oompany," she cried, nnd opening the valve, tho wheels began ti turn, the shaft began to revolve, the crusher begun to crush, and nil the machinery was set in motion. When hut a moment before quietude line reigned, the entire building was filled with lhe bumming ami buzzing of the busy machinery, The party then pro reeded to inspect the machinery, which consists of a Bl.ike crusher, a course screen, two Cornish rolls, three trommels, a hydroinetric sizcr, thro ��� single compartment Harts jigs, two Wilfley concentrating tables, and n double decK buddle, The plant is driv en hy steam with the exception of Hie concentrating tables which are driven by water power derived from a three foot Pelton wheel, which also drives lhe electric light dynamo. The concentrator, which is of no-ton capacity, is heated by two boilers supplied by the Mac Machine Company oi' Trail, the rest, of the machinery coming from tho E, P. Alice Ontii pany of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The mill was constructed hy S. A. Ewilig ami the tramway hy \V. Jaokl?. W. MaqMilliau of tlie Mae Machine Coin - pony of Trail, being head machinist * * * Work on the .loker group on the north fork of Kaslo orook is progress. ini.' steadily nnd will continue all winter. Ernest Mansfield, tin1 manager, visited the mine last week and reports flint ihe shiil'l is down WI (oat uud that a very line body of ore has been encountered. Assays show from ifliO tn $80 in gold on thu average but some assays have gone as high ns $81)0, There lire B0 tons of ore nn ihe dump. In tho spring ii complete plan! for t rent ing Ihe ores will lie put in and development work will be pushed forward rapidly. Mr. Mansfield ihinks the mine will prove nun of the most valuable iu the country. The .Inker group is owned by u number of Loudon and Paris capitalists, Mr. White, chairman of the Board of Directors, is now visiting the property, bavins come out from London for the purpose �� * ��� Sir Hibbert Tuppor, Mr. Fred refers, Mr. B\ H. I'hiniieii and Col. Ray uro ut present visiting Ihe Dardan elles miue of whieh they are direotors They will he in Nelson this week and ��� ill visit the Mollie Gibson mine, in v.inch tlmv are also largely interested. While here they will decide upon lhe work to be done ou the Mollie j Gibson this summer. s * # Engineer Green of the Oro mine I arrived in Nelson yesl v.lny and reports that they have recently struck some galena bearing free gi Id. He brought willi him several samples which will assay i?4imi in gold lie hns not yet tried for silver or lead. * * �� The blasl furnace at the I nil Mines smelter was blown out yesterday and will be blown in again sumo time next week. * * * Home months ago the Nelson Board of Trade passed a resolution in favor of the immediate construction of a wagon road up Kokaneo creek, hut up to date nothing has boon done towards carrying out the work Mining nun in town at present speak of the im portauoe of such a road and express the hopo that this summer will see it constructed. It would tap a great many properties, nearly a hundred iu ull, and would assure for Nelson the trade of all these mines. There are the Proctor group, Joker group, Mollie Gibson, Achilles group, properties of the Kokanee Mining and Milling Co., of Vancouver, and others. Ono for instance, the Joker, is milking arrangements to get its supplies in via Kaslo us the property is more easily up- pn ached from that side. In this way trade that should belong to Nelsou is drifting to other towns. Tho Molly Gibson Company has ia claims near the mine and the supplies that will lie necessary to keep them running will lie considerable. The road would be built from tho mouth of Kokaneo creek anil there would bo nothing to make it hard to construct. The lust four miles would be pretty steep but the average of the wholo road, 10 miles, would not bo over $1000 a mile. "If Nelson had built wagou roads when it should have" said a mining man yesterday, "tlie majority ot the trade going to towns in the Slocan region would lie concentrated here. Sandon is now agitating for a road tn tap the Kaslo creek country and when they build it from that side Nelson will lose a lot of business that rightly belongs to it. A little bit of enterprise and push would bo a good thing just now." * * * An additional staff of men have been nut on the Mollie Gibson Ibis week, f he lower tunnel is now in 800 feet making a total of over 1200 feel of tunnelling. They are not stuping any ore but the showings aro very satisfactory. An importanl announcement in connection with the Molliu Gibson will probably be rantle this week when some of ihe directors of the company will be in Nelson. Manager McGuire of tlie mine is iu thu city. * * # Mining men ui present in tho city are taking groat interest in tlie question of u mineral exhibit nt the Earl's Court exhibition this year und the Paris Exposition next yeur. They cannot understand, they say, the evident reluotance of the Government to votp a sum of money for the purposes as .hey look upon the two exhibitions as he best opportunities Briti.ih Oohim. bin ever had of bringing its riches prominently before the monied men ol the obi world. Mr. Bruce While. ivhen questioned on th�� matter hy n .diner reporter yesterday, expressed himself as decidedly in favor of the ioyornmeitt spending whatever sum (hat was necessary to hnve the Province adequately represented at the twi ixibitions, lie did not think the sum of $50,000 could all bo used for such n purpose as the different mine owner- would lie quite willing to give nil tie samples of ore that would be ueoassarj ro make the display n representative me. It is neccessary to have British Capital here to properly develop the' country and Mr. White does not thin-. ild country capitalists will he tempted to invest here until the opportunities ��� o make money are brought prominently before their attention, There is no boiler wny of advertising than by making attractive mineral exhibits. Mr. Ernest Mansfield, who represents English und French capilul in British Columbia, is also of tho opinion: thnt no opportunity should bo lost; to lay before Europeans the advantages for Investment in ibis country. "British Columbia," be says, "is. not as well known in London as it should bo. Both ihe Karl's Court and Paris expositions will he splendid- places for un exhibition of British Columbia ores and such exhibitions should bring good results. Almost any sum of money devoted to such a purpose will he ���well spent lint 1 do not think it will require ns much as sonio people estimate " .Mining men ore a unit in supporting the stand of the Nelson Board of Ttade that if the Government docs not take notion the Hoards of Trade of the Kootenays should make un exhibition on their own behalf. * * * The Black Cm k mine, near Ymir. resumed shipments yesterday with a ship iient of six tons for tho Northporl smeller, [r is lhe intention of the owners of this property to make regular shipments us tbev have plenty of uro in sight. * * �� M. Lambert of Paris is nt the Phair. Ho is iu lhe Kootonnys in the interest of French capital and will spend from six months to it year here making observations aud reporting to his principals in Paris. It is an enoour- aging sign to see ihe capitalists of France turning their attention to this OOtintry. Pnnsiun money bus done ii great deal to develop the Transvaal country and if it begins lo come this wny this .Province will be greatly benefited, M. Lambert thinks tho mines here should be well representor) nt the Paris Exposition next year as there Iho whole world will have on opportunity of seeing evidences of this county's riches. The Society of Mining Engineers in France is very si rung and they will see thut the mineral exhibit receives proper attention, BAD AS HE LOOKED. THE CUSTOMER SEEMED TOUGH ANC PROVED SO LATER.

It happened In a restaurant not fai situated from the buBy down town dls triut. That thero were no arrests was du�� to the fact that tbe policeman on that beat arrived at the placo about two mlnutei after the waiters had finished cleaning uj the debris of broken dishes, bottles and glasses, and the victim had been taken to a nearby physician for repairs. As the stranger entered the restaurant the trained eye of the waiter sizod him up as ono of the class of big, coarBe, overhearing fellows met In all public places ot a big city; one who if allowod his way would terrorize the peaee loving people who happened to be near, but who would succumb nnd confine himself to the space occupied by hie unwieldly self If given to understand that size and "tough" manners had no special terrors for a man with pi ucU enough to backup his rights and eolf respect. In briuf, he was a good specimen of the "bad" man whose broad shoulders, big hands and ugly face terrorized women and children wherever he happened to ho. He save his order In the manner expected Tho waiter received It meekly, carefully arranged the linen, served the meal and inquired of further wants a8 faithfully and promptly as if serving one of thu regular patrons, who always concluded with a remembrance to John in the shape of tho odd change that, happened when tho hill was paid. Tho meal did not suit. The butter was vile, potatoes not sufficiently fried, meat required an ax���In fact, everything conneoted with the meal was unsatisfactory to tho "bad" man. This was just what was expected and accepted by the waiter with the resignation thut accompanies acceptance of the inevitable. When he grew abusive, the proprietor, who had been observing the man since his entrance, was appealed to. The "bad" man refused to accept or pay for the meal, nor would ho listen to reason from the proprietor. Reasoning wasn't his forte. Ills arguments wero made with fists, and ho had made up his mind on the Hiibjoct under discussion, and nobody oould change It. He also Intimated a desire to clean out the restaurant In order that possible future customers should not be made victims of, as lie had been. The proprietor all this time was endeavoring to restrain himself, but from the determined expression on his faoo had tbe''bud" man been observant he would have discovered that unless heohanged his tactics souiothing would happen, aud that It would happen to him. When In emphasizing an oxpresaed determination not to be swindled the "bad" man appeared to forget himself and brought his big list down on tho table with sufficient force to jar a dish from the table, causing It to full to tho floor and break, the proprietor, known as a man of determination, but few words, lost his self rostral nt. Then It happened. He took hold of the "had" man and started to drng him out of his cl'iir and to tbe front door. It did not last long. Whon the excitemont was over, tho waiters dragged the quiet but determined proprietor from beneath the mass of crockery, glassware, parts of the table and other remnants accumulated during the battlo, while the "bad" man walked slowly down tho street and Into a place whoro, judging from tho absence of excitemont, he found the eating nn��re to his liking. All of which led to a remark by one customer who had been an apparently disinterested spectator that ''sometimes people are as tough as thoy look."���Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
