PRICE FIVE CENTS THE WONDERFUL NEW SHELL Senate iri Secret Session. Washington", May 10.���Again today tiie senate discussed iu secret session tiie mysterious projectile "with which tho navy department lias been experimenting*-* on armor plate. The publication in this morning's papers of the details of tlio secret session held yesterday. In the course of whicli senator Till- ;��� man laid before the senate informa- '_ tion he had received atthe naval I department concerning the armor- \ piercing projectile that had played ; such havoc with the best armor I tested at the government proving >\/ground at Indian Head convinced many senators of the futility of attempting by secret sessions to keep information from the public. However, while senator Tillman Avas explaining to the senate today what he desired to accomplish by the secret session yesterday, another secret session was moved, the senate preferred to hear the South Carolina ��� ������*���i-i*��-i*i i eign representatives in that capital have jointly notified president Kruger that ho will be held personally responsible by their governments for the safety of the Johan- nesbm'g mines, it can be stated that the United States representative, consul Adolbert Hay, did not join in the representation if any such were made. The department of state will adhere to its uniform policy in such matters, of acting singly. It may be that its line of action will parallel that taken by tiie powers jointly, but it will not be in any degree affected thereby. ROMAN CATHOLIC LEGATION News of-the Church. I senators explanation behind closed doors. After the galleries had been cleared, senator Tillman reiterated substantially the statement concerning the Indian Head tests of armor plate which he had- made yesterday. He pointed out the effectiveness of ther projectile, tipped with a point of soft steel, against the armor tested, and used 1 hat fact as au argument against the payment by the government of what he ^termed "monopolistic piice'sfor armor." He dwelt upon the vulnerability of the best known armor���including the Krupp armor ���against the projectile. He. ar- 1,5 raigned the navy department for | making public yesterday the de- tailsyof a test of armor with the six-inch gun iu which one of the soft-nosed projectiles pierced the plate almost as if rit were oak, declaring his belief that the test had been made public for the effect it might have upon the senate debate on the impending bill. jSynator Chandler-felt the navy irtV^ai'tmen t had not dealt frankly with the senate in respeefc to the information regarding the teste. Senator Hoar discussed the subject briefly, deprecating the evident inability^of the senate to keep its --.carets and criticizing the navy department for publishing information withheld from the senate. After some brief discussion it was decided,-inasmuch as the salient facts had been published, that the niliior plate matter might as well 1 e considered in open session. In * Hi is connection it was pointed out ' iliab there was really no secret about the soft-nosed projectile, as 4 i he navy department has been ex- _- periuienting with the projectile for 1'years. Later in the day a communication . way submitted to the senate by senator Hale from the bureau of oi dnance of the navy department, iu which was -described���minutely llie effect of the projectile in question upon various kinds of armor* Jr. was shown that the projectile, which is a solid steel shot, not a s-hell, carrying no explosive charge, would pierce the best of armor \\ lien the conditions of the tests were perfect in ovory instance, but only iu suck conditions. Spanish Politics Troubled. Pauls, May 10.���A dispatch to the Temps from Madrid says the greatest perplexity prevails in the political world over the situation ejeatcd by tho events in Catalonia, tho national union campaign, the scheme existing between tho indus- trial and -commercial classes aud the political parties aud by the jittitude of the Carlists, republicans and socialists, who are -always ready to take advantage of all circumstances, a situation which is always assuming exceptional gravity. Marshal Martino de Campos summed up the situation in the following words: "The miiiistry must govern Washington, May 10.-���The new auditor of the papal legation, Rev. Dr. Francis Marchetci, arrived in this city from Home today. He came via Naples and, on account of his voyage covering about two weeks, reached the legation feeling quite unwell. Archbishop Mar- tinelli and Rev. Dr. Rooker, secretary of therlegation, left Washington today for Portland, Oregon. MonseigneurMai'tinellistatedthat he was going west to'fulfil.a promise made by him to the archbishop of Oregon, Dr. Alexander Christy, who* desired to receive the pallium, or badge of rank, direct from his hands. Both himself and Dr. Rooker will be absent from Washington for , at least three weeks during which time Dr. Marehelli will have charge of the legation. ,He is a native of Rome, was born in 1867 and has never visited America before/altliough he speaks English fluently. He succeeds Monseigneur Donatius Saretti recently appointed ' bishop of Havana,. Cuba, who was the first auditor of the legation. Before leaving archbishop Mar- tinelli stated that no credence should be placed in the rumors regarding episcopal appointments. But three vacancies, those at Vancouver, Savanah and Tacoma have been filled, as announced by the Associated Press. Monseigneur Martinelli expressed his *��� surprise that a report cabled from England recently announced the appointment of Dr. Sparreti as archbishop of Havana." 'He says that no appointment Jias been made for one archdiocese already exists in Cuba, that of Santiago, of wliich. archbishop Baranta is the incumbent. ' Both bishop Sharetti of Havana and bishop Belnk of Porto Rico are his suffragans, as the province of Santiago includes these, sees alone. J. C. BROWN IN THE CABINET Coast Political Rumors. Victoria, May 10.��� [Special to The Tribune.]���The entry of J. C. Brown into the provincial cabinet has occasioned considerable speculation in regard to what influences led him to alter his attitude towards Mr. Martin. It is rumored that he entered the cabinet only after an arrangement had been reached whereby the question of the premiership will be thrown open after the elections, and. the government supporters will be asked to decide, between himself and the present premier. Rumor .has also -associated the name of Cotton with the post of agent-general in London, should Mr. Brown become premier. Comox correspondence says the Independents are having" a hard time to find a candidate.; * " The ex-minister of finance reappeared in.' town _ last Saturday. He is not averse to talking politics, but has very little to say concerning his extremely short tenure of the portfolio beyond that; he received it honorably, and resigned it j honorably. The refusal of Mr. Mclnnes to oppose Mr. Mounce in Comox practically makes the latter's election a certainty. collective note- informing president Kruger that the powers would hold him personally: responsible for the safety of the mines, and would support Great Britain in enforcing compensation in the event of their destruction. ��� or resign.

Many Fires in America. New York, May 10,���The national board of fire underwriters in annual convention today, elected the following officers: President, G. P. Sheldon, New York; vice- president, E. L. Ellison, Philadelphia; secretary, Robert B. Heap, Philadelphia; treasurer, Fred W. Arnold. In his address the retiring president, H. G Irvin of Philadelphia, reviewed the events of the year, and said that the fact-which must impress itself on insurance men as of most serious importance, is the enormous Are loss of the country, which amounted in 1899 to $153,597.83. Mr. Irvin said: "If we may judge from such records as are accessible, property in the United States is burning in a greater proportion to values than in any other country. This is the more startling when the destruction goes on in a year like the one under review, when business generally is admitted to have been good." Forbid Travel on Lake Bennett. Victoria, May 10.���The Canadian authorities, have forbidden travel on Lake Bennett until the opening of navigation. This means that traffic will not be allowed on the lake until the steamers commence to navigate its, waters, which will probably be three or four weeks. Canadians Are at Winburg.

Corbett will fight 25 rounds tomorrow night in the arena of the Seaside Athletic Club ' for the heavyweight championship of the world, now held by Jeffries. They will wear live- ounce* gloves and Queens- berry rules will govern, except that there shall be no hitting in the clinches. Charley White will be the referee. It is expeeted that between 10,000 and 15,000 persons will see the nght,-whieh will be for 60 per cent of the gate-, receipts or About $'15,000. Of fchi4 sinn^the winner is to receive 75 per cent or $33,750, while the loser will get 25 per cent. There is plentyof Jeffries money in 'sight, but Corbett currency is hard to find. Jeffries' admirers have ��� entire confidence in the champion. The men have agreed there will be no hugging or , holding. Each principal tomorrow night will have at least three seconds. Gus Ruhlin, George Considine and Lee Pardelle will be in Corbett's corner and Jack Jeffries, Tommy Ryan and Ed Dunkhorst will second Jeffries. ROBERTS ACROSS THE ZAND f Strange Headquarters. London, May 10.���Lord Roberts reports to the war oflice as follows: - --Cable- Cart,-headquarters-at front, May 10.-9:10 a. m.���We are now across the Zand river. The enemy are still holding a strong position but we are gradually pushing them back." The crossing of the 'Zand river by the British appears to have been effected sooner than even the most sanguine expeeted, and this morning lord Roberts' temporary headquarters is established in a cable cart on the north bank of the river. The opposi tion the federals _ are offering shows that yesterday's reports of the abandonment of their position were ill founded. Lord Roberts' advance force, consisting of from 10,000 to 12,000 mounted men besides infantry, artillery and ' the naval contingent, appears to be sufficiently-powerful to overwhelm any opposition the burghers can offer. Even though, as reported yesterday, they been reinforced by 3000 men from other commands and possess a score of heavy guns, the experts believe the opposition will not be prolonged more than shall be necessary to remove the guns and other impediments in the direction of Kroonstadt. Further reports from Lorenzo Marquez show that the customs authorities, in addition to clothing and shoes, refuse to clear corned beef for the Transvaal, holding it as contraband. Patriotic Fund Increases. Ottawa, May 10.���The Canadian Patriotic Fund to date amounts to ��271,832.00. . CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD In the Slocan. KAslo, May 10.���[Special to Tho Tribune.]���Despite premier Martin's assertion that the eight-hour law is a dead issue, it will probably cut considerable figure in the Slocan during the coming campaign, which opened in earnest here last night, when . R. F.. Green made his first speech asking the. electors of the riding to re-elect hiin. He fully explained his connection with the eight-hour law. . Thomas Forster, ex-speaker of the legislature, also addressed the gathering, and was considerably heckled by George Kane, on behalf ���of Joe Martin, and by Mr, Wood of the Last Chance mine upon the eight-hour law. r> Mr. Wood and magistrate Carney, who was in the chair, had a wordy duel over Wood's eight-hour law questions, and it seems that from the start the election will be a pretty exciting one in this district. John Keen was formally nominated last-night as the business men's candidate, whileGreen comes put as an independent with a strong leaning .towards the Provincial Party. Both men have issued their election address. now located in Toronto as sales agent for a coal company, was the petitioner, and a creditor objected to his discharge on the grounds he was a resident of Canada and therefore could not. avail himself of the provisions of the law. Ilefree Moss of this city held that Clissdell had established a domicile in New York state, and was simply a temporary resident of Canada and so entitled to his discharge under the law's provisions. Judge Cox's decision sustains referee Moss' contention. W. L. HAGLER IS NOT GUILTY RAILWAY STRIKE GOES ON Young Woman Killed. '.',; St. Louis, Missouri May 10.���The feature of the day in the great railway strike was the conference between ' governor Stevens, the members of the executive committee of the local Street Railway, Employees' Association and the officers and attorneys of the transit company, called for the purpose of ascertaining if some sort of an amicable understanding could not be arrived at, to end hostilities. The conference lasted for several hours, _- * _ ������ / _* but at its conclusion governor Stevens announced that nothing had been accomplished. * The Suburban company operated its system under police protection during the entire day without interference, and was patronized liberally by the public. The Transit company ran two ears over one branch of its system but did not attempt to carry passengers. Another fatality as a result of the strike was recorded tonight. As Flora Siegfried, a young woman, was crossing Washington street carrying an infant in her arras, she was hit on the head' Avith a brick that had been hurled at a passing car on the Suburban system.

From 15,000 to 20,000 is the highest estimate of the Boers under the command of general Botha, who is said to havo 46 guns.

An Important Decision. Elmiua, May 1].���Judge Cox has just handed down an important decision in bankruptcy proceedings. F. V. Clissdell of Corning, who is Confession Obtained. Havana, May 10.���The postal frauds have reached a point where, within the next few hours, other arrests will probably occur, and it is believed-that a considerable sum will be recovered at the same time that the arrests are made. One of the culprits, has made a complete confession, conditional upon hi.s testimony being accepted as state's evidence. What he says proves conclusively what was known before, that several others besides Charles F. Neely, late financial agent of posts at Havana, are more or lesh implicated. The exact dates have been 'obtained by the authorities. The latter refuse to give the name of the man who has confessed, but, though shocked at the nature of the confession and coldblooded swindle aud conspiracy, they arc still glad that they have evidence to completelyjustify their action in regard to Neely. Johannesburg Mines Safe, Cai'K Town, May 10.���The Cape Argus published a report from Johannesburg, said to have been suppressed in the cross-examination of mining engineer Munniek, that Munnick testified that preparations had been made to explode 25 mines, and, on the authority of secretary Reitz, he (Munnick) had already bored shafts in eight. '"Well informed foreigners in Pretoria," says the correspondent of the Cape Argus, ''now consider the mines safe. The Transvaal officials have issued appeals to the people to protect property, and although preparations wore made to destroy the principal mines, wiser eounssls now prevail. State engineer Kliuk declined to resume his duties unless the dynamite was removed, and the government agreed to hia demands." Sketch of the Case. Great interest was aroused yes- .terday by the case of Regiua vs. W. L. Hagler, secretary of the Sandon Miners' Union, who was accused of unlawful assembly. The alleged offense occurred on the night when the Payne Mining Company imported a number of cheap alien laborers to work at the mine. Tiie facts as "brought out by the evidence were briefly as follows: W. Ii. Hagler had been warned by a telegram that these men were coining, and when he heard a train coming in at the unusual hour of 11 o'clock at night, he got up, and from a conversation with one of,the train men he was given to understand that the scabs in question were aboard. He accordingly made his way up to Payne siding. In the meantime the news had spread, and about 20 union -men in all went up there with a view of laying the true state of affairs before the limported men. They were not allowed to speak to them, however, and an altercation ensued iri whicli the accused abused C. H. Hand, superintendent of the Payne, in somewhat strong terms. No violence, however, was offefed in" any shape or form. Afterwards he laid air information against Hagler for unlawful assembly, and also telegraphed for police protection. CH. Hand, John Day and George Hughes gave evidence for the prosecution, and McLean, Noil, Morrison, McDonald and W. L. Hagler ' for the defense. For the defense, W. A. Macdonald, Q. C, urged that the men were there for a peifectly lawful purpose, and that the altercation between Hands and Hagler had been unduly "magnified, and that there " was no occasion to fear nor any^, threats of violence. J. A. Macdonald, Q, C, for the crown, took the ground that though the assembly might have originally been for a lawful purijose, yet, when on the ground the conduct of their spokes*-" ' man, Mr. Hagler, was such as to indicate that violence might have been reasonably expected to .occur at any moment, - The jury, however, did not take this view, and, after being out about two hours und a half, they brought in a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Hagler had many friends in the court room, as was shown by the number of congratulations he received. The jury was a very representative one, as a glance over tho names will show, but it was notimpauplled without considerable trouble, as the crown ordered fifteen to stand aside while the defense challenged four. The jury, as finally selected, was as follows : G. Gurd, foreman, J. T. Fife, J. A, Dewar, F.B. Gibbs, ' T. Allan, Dr. Armstrong, G. W. Hale, A. Carrie^ W._ Waldie, J. Blaney. J. Rae and H. G.

Now there can be little doubt of it, for of late Kipling has had a gift of prophecy in war and polities. After his song comes the blare of the trumpet. It is also known that many of the Canadians who went to the war expressed an intention of looking over Africa before they came back, with a view to settling there if they got nn opening. A groat many of them will probably accept any opening that oilers itself for remaining in the British service in any civil or semi-military capacity connected witli the work of reorganizing the country. This was not what Canada had in mind when she sent these men away to assist au imperial cause, yet the men are freo agents���most of them ���and must judge for themselves, But if they stay they will miss some inducements, too. Devil in a Dog. -, AYLaiBR, Ontario, May 10.���Alfred Baughman, a farmer from the second concession, is held on a charge of 'insanity. On Monday night, while sleeping at the house of his brothei', James Baughman, he became violently insane and gave the inmates a hard fight before he was controlled. Baughman lias been slightly insane for some time, and was possessed of the idea that he had promised God that if He would help him pay off the mortgage on his farm lie would kill the devil as an offset to the obligation. On Monday night James Baughman was aroused by a great noise downstairs. When he descended he found that the devil had, according to his brother, assumed the shape of Baughman's dog, and the crazy man had seized him by the legs and battered his brains out against the furniture.

It is all very well for Rudyard Kipling to walk around the hospitals in South Africa admiring the young, sound, clean, intelligent and well-educated Canadians who are recovering from Avounds received in battle. It ib also all very well for him to refer to these i_hrce hundred men as being beautiful young fellows, who should become heads of saned and soaped families, but when lie suggests that these volunteer soldiers of ours should settle there he asks too much. This country needs all the sane aud soaped families it can grow for some time to come. We sent those young fellows to Africa to help thrash an unwashed, but straight- shooting race of Boers, and we want I fcheni back when the object has I \ beon accomplished. To tell the ac- j tual truth, Canada needs them in her own business, and could spare a lot of other jnen much better than those first-fruits of the soil.

Gratifying as arc the evidences of ilie material prosperity which is general throughout the country, and in which all classes of the population share, it is well to give attention to whatever evidence is attainable throwing light upon.the well- beiiig of the Canadian people in another sense than the merely material. Statistics of trade expansion and business activity that sols the coins jingling in the pockets of the farmer, tho merchant, and Lhe workingman, have a solidity and certainly not to be gainsaid. They are the expression in figures of the actual conditions which are e\idont every day about us. ]3ut when it comes to the question of 1 lie character of Canadian manhood aftil womanhood, and the moral tendencies on Avhich the true well- being of tho country must rest, while fairly certain and just con- ( hisjons can be formed by anyone w ho studies observantly the everyday developments of life about him, and reads the newspapers, there is a lack of statistics of moral probity and of the advancement in manners aiul moral**.. Criminal statistics deal only with the shadows in the picture of the national life. The growth of moral excellence iu a people, the spread of honesty, temperance and the right ways of living that make a people better and happier���these are developments that the statistician cannot measure and compute. The vices of a people cinbe given in figures, to several places of decimals-*. But tho virtues of a people cannot be put down ae- t'lilately in black aud white. One virtue can be claimed beyond question for tbe people of Canada in a very marked degree, and that ii tempei trace in tho u&o of alcoholic liquors. Some striking figures in t his regard are given in the statis- i its of the British Hoard of Trade, wliich show that whereas in Great Jh J tain alcohol ..contributes 36 per cuit of the revenue, and in the Tinted States 28 per cent, in Canada the percentage so contributed i-, only 17.1 per cent. If all the seo- lions of Canada and all those of Australasia are grouped together, tho consumption on tho average of i hree years may thus be compared wilh that oi" Great Britain and the Uuited States: Wine 'Boer SpinN (.matin. .*.... 0.0** .'!(> 0 0ft A Uxtrdl.thM. ...... 103 101! 0.70 t'i i ed States 0*0 1".H OWJ Cic.it Diitain 0.11 319 1.U3 "it is generally assumed," says the Licensing World, "that the average alcoholic strength of wine is 30 per cent, whilst that of beer is about Jl-per cent of proof-spirits.'! Accepting these figures, and reckoning spirits at 50 per cent proof, we get the following comparison as 1o the consumption per head of alcohol.' United ���"-...lie-. becoming a lost art, even among Indians and races living on the outer edges of tho world. In the published papers of tho Engineering Society of the School of Practical Science, Toronto, Mr. W. II. Ellis, M. A., M. B., has a paper ou fire making that is very interesting. Ho shows that the making of a fire by the use of friction between two pieces of wood was widely disseminated among savage races, being employed throughout both North and South America, in Polynesia, Australia, Asia and Africa. The commonest method of production the necessary friction was by boring. This method, Mr. Ellis says, was employed by-the Iroquois and Algonquins of the western plaius, the Esquimaux and the Indians of South America, as well as many tribes in other quarters of the globe. The Indians of this continent wore very expert in the use of this fire hand-drill. The Hurons and Iroquois took a fiat piece of cedar, near the edge of which they bored a hole with a beaver tooth. Fromthiscavityalittle canal led to a match of frayed cedar bark, all in readiness to be ignited by a spark. Inserting the pointed end of a round cedar stick in this hole, they rotated it with their hands with such violence and rapidity that the borings, whicli were pushed out through the canal, took firo and ignited the cedar bark. It would appear that some savages, more practical in tlieir science than others, used a thong on the upright stick as a string is used on a top, to produce rapidity of rotation. Mr. Ellis said that it is very easy to produce a fire by this method of wood friction. D. R. Wllkio; GoncraliManagor. E. Hay, Inspector. Nolson Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street J. M.

Tho showing for Canada is one in which Canadians'may well take just .satisfaction. And uot only does tho average Canadian consume less intoxicants than the ,average citizen of the countries named, but the consumption of alcohol is steadily tending to decrease in Canada. The inland revenue report for I89f) shows for wine and t-pirits a decline in the per capita consumption, aud for beer a slight increase over 1898, and the ten- rttiiiey has been in the bame direc- * ion for a number of years. Undoubtedly our system of public education has had an important in- iiueuce in the creation of this ten- tieucy. While tho immediate object oi the schools of Canada is to inform and develop the thinking tn'nid of the pupil, they co-operate -with the churches in the work of character building, and in laying iho foundation of good citizenship rtnd of reliable, upright manhood it ud womanhood. Education is the greatest foe to intemperance, Fixe Without Matches, The cheapness of lucifer matches has brought them iuto almost universal use, and the starting of fires S��y primitive methods is. quickly A LESSON OF A FIRE. The lessons of the great fire were dwelt upon from almost every pulpit jn Ottawa on Sunday last. One of the most practical addresses was that delivered at the .church of Our Father, Unitarian, by the Rev. Mr. Walkley, a native Ottawan. Mr. "Walkley preached on the practical lessons to be taught by this calamity. He contended that such siib- jeet-** come legitimately within the scone of the pulpit ��>ince they all have an ethical bearing. Experience is'our great teacher It was*, only after many lives -had been lost that the railway companies had equipped their cars with proper brakes and couplings, and overcome the dangers of tho old modes of heating aud lighting. Railroad managers had long before seen the necessity of these improvements in tho interest of hitman life, but recoiled from the prospect of diminished dividends. Many years ago, and every year since, this very calamity in Ottawa was foretold, but moneyed interests stood in the way of the removal of obvious sources of danger. The wages paid to the laborers in the mills were such that thoy could only build fire traps, packed to- ~g"etheras~closely as~ possible. ~ Mr. Walkley referred to the widespread sympathy and helping hands everywhere extended to the sufferers. The empire shows, in this hour of trial, that it is of one heart, with fellow-feeling for all. The queen's sympathy shows her to be not merely the able constitutional monarch, and wise ruler, but the tender-hearted mother of her people. God bless the queen. This church denies the doctrine of the depravity of human nature and teaches that the divine is in all men. The deep and widespread sympathy and proper assistance elicited by this great fire is one of many proofs of the soundness of the doctrine. Mr. Walkley said that we should have the right idea and feelings with regard to social questions rather than theories about abstract matters. One suggestion, and it met confirmation in the whole work done by the militia in the fire, was the need of organization. He suggested that a "call" fire brigade should be organized to be brought out only in great emergencies. The churches one and all, have a great work in teaching the people that the laws of the physical world are as much from God, aud to be obeyed, as any law of the bible, creed or church, or perhaps more so. The spectacle of people putting out images and pictures to stay the progress of the flames does not speak well for the education, or lack of it, in some of the churches and schools. It is the duty of those who do know to instruct the ignorant, and if this were done and justice were meted out between employer and employee there would be less misery and ignorance in the world. In this work our newspapers, whatever may be their faults, deserve commendation. They may not be such as Jesus would edit (if anyone knows what He would have .edited) but they are doing a service to humanity and in this great fire have come near to the thought of Jesus as set forth in the parable of the good Samaritan. The great Chaudiere Palls, the gift of God to this part of the world, belong, not to a favored 'few, but to all the people of "Canada, and their great power should be used for the benefit aud protection of this, our capital city. There is sufficient power in the falls to raise water enough from the Ottawa river. to flood this city and ensure perfect protection against fire. And it is the duty of the Dominion government to take this matter into consideration and act. Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is a fair oity, beautiful for situation, and ought to be the joy of all Canada. Jn some way provision ought to be made to constitute the capital and its vicinity a district exclusively under the control of the federal government. The , government could then enforce regulations for the protection of our parliament buildings, which were threatened by this 'fire, and are not even now safe. These buildings with all their precious contents are the property of the people of Canada, and the people should insist, if the government hesitates, that they should nou be auy longer exposed to such dangerjnerely_to suit_the convenience of men of wealth. Mr. Walk- ley closed by emphasizing the growing thought of the age that wealth, being the product of the people is held in trust for the benefit of the people. They hold a mortgage upon it, and if the mortgagers betray their trust, the people will foreclose. WORKED IT BOTH WAYS. New Orleans Tiiiiss-Dcmocrat. "If the real inside workings of the average bucket shop were laid bare," said a telegraph operator who has had much experience in such establishments, "the revelation would open the eyes of the young donkeys who imagine they can beat the game.. Just to illustrate the point I'll tell you a little story. "Some time ago there were two rival bucket shops in a certain southern city, supposed to be run by northern operators. Business was a little slow, and it was evident that the speculative element was inclined to be suspicious of both establishments. One day the manager of one of the concerns hunted up a young fellow who had more money than brains, and, handing him $50, asked him, as a special favor, to go over to the other house and make such and such a play. ' It's a private speculation of my own,' he said, 'and 1 have a straight tip, but I can't very well place the money myself on account of my connection with ��� & Co. If I did they'd get suspicions right away.' "The young idiot supposed, of course, that he had struck a bonanza���one bucket shop man playing against another! It must be a sure thing ! So he not only placed the $50 as requested, but played the tip hard himself, aud so did all his friends, whom he promptly let into the secret. Needless to say, they were all eventually skinned out of every cent they put in, but the remarkable part of the story is that the same tactics wore worked back and forth by both managers on at least a dozen different occasions. Each time it was done they gathered in a lot of new clients and made a big haul. It developed not long afterward that' the two bucket shops were run by the same people." The Ideal Correspondent. Archibald Forbes in his Memories and Studies of Peace and War, limned a picture of the ideal war correspondent. To begin with a war correspondent must have gifts of the languages, and be an all- round linguist. He must be sweet- tempered, suave and diplomatic, but big and ugly enough to command respect. He must be strong, athletic and able to ride anything from a giraffe to a rat. He must have plenty of endurance and think nothing of riding a hundred miles at a stretch. He must not mind such trifles as having to do without food or sleep for a week at a time. He must be able at the end of a long ride over difficult country to write round-hand for a foreign telegraph clerk, ignorant of the correspondent's language, at the rate of a column an hour for six or eight hours. He must be a competent judge of warfare, with a genuine instinct for likely places of battle, must discern victory or defeat before the end, and then, having como to the conclusion as to the fate of the day, must ride off from the field, without seeingwhetherhe is absolutely right or not, to pen and wire his account of it.

After spending the' morning about town, the visitors were entertained at luncheon in Fraternity hall. Mayor Houston and a number of leading citizens were iu attendance.
