Money to Burn.
“Why, my brother Jim.
remember him?”
“Oh, yes, I remember him and a
meaner cuss I never knew,” replied the
host, grimly.
“Jim’s dead now; don’t be too hard on
him. He had good streaks and he was
awful lucky in some ways. ”
“Oh, he was!”
“Why, just five minutes before he
died a man came in and paid him ten
dollars he owed him. He died holding
the bill tight in his hand.”
“Ah,” responded the host, handing
back the receipted bill, “then he had
money to burn!”

remark.—Social Circle of Anecdote.

The New Orleans Times-Demoerat
and several other papers are raising
funds for the relief of Miss Key, grand-
daughter of Francis Scott Key, author
of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Miss
Key was recently removed from the
pension office with a number of other
needless clerks. The relief fund is all
right, but sentiment should not go so
far as to demand her reinstatement to
office.
Silver has been making a grand

thoroughly corrupt and all attempts to

be as vain as to put up printed notices
in an orchard to keep off canker worms.

A FALSE CHRIST.
A Shoemaker Performing Miracles
in New Mexico.
Albuquerque, N. M., July 17.—Look-
ing like an animated picture of Christ,,
credited with performing acts on a par
with the miracles of the Son of God,
Francis Schlader, who claims to have
been, until two years ago, a shoemaker
of Denver, has set wild the Mexicans
of the territory just south of this city.
They are hailing him as a special dis-
ciple sent direct from heaven to them
to give sight to the sightless, hearing
• to the deaf and to relieve them of all
diseases to which flesh is heir. Today
he is followed about by hundreds of
Mexicans and Indians, who pray of
him that he touch their hands and cure
them of their ailments.
Tortured for $13.
Ashland, O., July 17.— Late Last
night four masked men went to the
house of John Miblin, near here, bound
and gagged the man and his wife and,
on failing to find the amount of money
they believed to be in the house, they
tortured the couple, holding burning
matches to their feet and hands. The
robbers secured $13, all the money in
the house, and escaped.

HIS MONEY OR HIS LIFE.
Appropos of the aldermanic boodling
sensation in Chicago, the News of that
city says:
A bit of testimony given before the special
grand jury by Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat comes
pretty near telling the whole truth about the
business of “boodling.” We quote from the
Record's report:
“Not long ago,” said the witness, “a friend
of mine, a well known attorney, came to me
and said: ‘Mr. Kohlsaat I have just come
from the worst sewer in the city.’ I asked
him where that' was and he mentioned a
certain Madison street saloon. He said: ‘I
have just been in there and paid $5900 to two
aidermen for securing the passage of an or-
dinance permitting a client of mine to run
some switch tracks into his yard.’
“ ‘You’re just the man I’ve been looking for
for three months,’ I said. ‘I’ve been collect-
ing. evidence to use against the alledged
“boodle” aidermen, and nothing could be bet-
ter for me than what you have told me. Who
is your client?’
“ ‘Oh, you cant expect me to give away the
name of my client,’ said my lawyer friend.
And there you are. That's the way you find
it all the way through.”
Before the thieving aidermen concerned in
this edifying episode can be caught and
punished it will be neccessary to run down
the rascally lawyer—probably a member of
his profession who goes about clothed with a
reputation of probity. And the lawyer can
not be caught and punished without, the
hand of justice falling also upon his clients.
. Who are the clients?
Men able to pay $5000 for the privile ge of
having a switch track run to their ware-
house or. factory are not so common even in
this rich community.- One may rest assured
that these men are persons of eminence.
Naturally It is not often that a bribe-taking
crook can be punished without involving the
disclosure and punishment of a bribe-giving
crook.
While the giving of a bribe is not
to be defended upon high moral ground,
the fact is that men who give them are
generally forced to do so. It implies
no original • criminal motive when a
man with a legitimate enterprise pays
to get it through a city council. The
victim of the highwayman delivers his
money to the robber but is not a
particeps criminis. The briber fre-
quently occupies about the same rela-
tion to the bribed. He is forced
to deliver as the alternative of
having his enterprise (his commercial
life) wrecked, and, while it is a very
heroic thing to sacrifice everything be-
fore honor, it is the man of common-
place, not ideal, integrity, with whom
the public must deal; and the public,
after all, does not very deeply censure
the man, but rather pities him, who is
made to stand and deliver by munici-
pal banditti.

—Although petroleum in small quan-

—The bow and arrow, darts and
spears, a sort of flint sword, the lasso,
the blowpipe, the club and stone balls
attached to ropes formed the Indian
arsenal of weapons, while shields and
occasional coats of mail made of raw-
hide were the main defense.
—The state of the monuments in the
Mississippi valley indicates that there
must have been a dense population,
depending largely on agriculture and
having comparatively civilized institu-

when the greatest mounds were built.
—A recent convert of the Salvation
Army in Seattle, Wash., gave a start-
ling proof of the genuineness of his
profession of repentance by making
public announcement that he was an
escaped convict, having sixteen years
yet to serve in the Leavenworth (Kan.)
penitentiary, and that he was ready to
go back to jail. A few days ago a
guard from the penitentiary arrived in
Seattle, identified the converted con-

—Paper telegraph poles are the latest
development of the art of making
paper useful. These poles are made of
paper pulp, in which borax, tallow,
etc., are mixed in small quantities.
The pulp is cast in a mold, with a core
in the center, forming a hollow rod of
the desired length, the cross pieces
being held by key-shaped wooden
pieces driven in on either side of the
pole. The paper poles are said to be
lighter and stronger than those of
wood • and to be unaffected by sun,
rain, dampness or any of the other
causes which shorten the life of a
wooden pole.
—In the meat-shops of towns in New
Mexico and Arizona the visitor from
the east is apt to notice that the
dressed carcasses of sheep have a tuft
of wool still attached to the head and
tail. This is left by the butcher to as-
sure the customer that it is mutton
and not goat flesh they are buying, for
in these territories many flocks of goats
are reared^and pastured by the small
Mexican ranchmen, to be killed for
food for the poorer natives. Roast or
stewed kid, with chilli pepper-sauce, is
an esteemed dinner dish at the tables
of many welbto-do Spanish and Span-
ish-American citizens.
—The ship President, forty-four
guns, Commodore Decatur, left New
York June 14, 1815; on the 16th she fell
in with a British fleet, consisting of
the Endymion, forty; Pomona, thirty-
eight; Tenedos, thirty-eight, and the
Majestic, “raze.” The Endymion
wounded the President at long range,
and Decatur tried toescape. When he
found he could not he tried to lay his
ship alongside the Endymion and board
her. Capt. Hope, of the Endymion,
outsailed him and kept him at a dis-
tance by his skill in handling his ves-
sel. Finally the two vessels ran along-
side of one another, and for two and a
half hours kept up a running fight.
The Endymion suffered most here, and
Hope was about to strike his flag when
the other vessels came up. Decatur
could not escape them, and surren-
dered to Capt. Hayes, of the Majestic,
the first vessel to reach the President.

They were two women and they sat

“Did you hear about the money Mrs.
Smith’s uncle left her?”
“Why, has she had more money left
her?” asked the woman in the black
bonnet in a discontented way. “That’s
the third time since I’ve known her.”
“Yes,” assented the green gown,
with a sigh, “it’s just the Scriptural
saying—Them that has, gits.”—Wash-

Some Big Transactions in Real Estate
Recorded.
The real estate market was quite
active yesterday, as a perusal of the
real estate transfers will show.. One
of the heaviest sales recorded is that
of Jot Gunter of Dallas to J. W.
Bailey, being two-thirds of lots 1
and
the
avenue and Mechanic, now used as a
coal yard by J. G. Golthwaite & Co.
The price paid for the property was
$22,500. A Tribune man was unable
to locate the purchaser, J. W. Bailey,
but it is presumed he is Congressman
J. W Bailey of- Gainesville.

Investment company sold to J. M.
Griffing and associates lots 311 and 326,
section 1; lots 5, 6 and 7, block 618, and

section 1 are located beyond the Den-
ver resurvey and the remainder of the
property is located on the southwest
corner of Eighteenth and Strand and
the northeast corner of Twentieth and
Mechanic. The price paid was $16,000.
The Leon & H. Blum Land company
had recorded the sale of certain prop-
erty on the bayfront to the Galveston,

A German Expression 'Which Means Many
Things.
In the party which went to visit a
big German concert hall in the Bowery
were two or three men who had a
knowledge of the German language,
ranging from a smattering to a fair ac-
quaintance. These men were extreme-
ly ready with their information, so it
was quite natural that one of the
young women should ask:
“What does that mean?”
“That” was the title of a composi-
tion which was to be given on the
orchestrion and it read: “Bei den
Schrammen.”
“Bei den Schrammen,” thoughtfully
murmured the man to whom the ques-
tion was put. “I ought to know what
that means. Let me think. It will
come to me in a minute.”
But it didn’t come to him, in spite of
his corrugated brow and his evident
effort at doing some tall thinking.
Then the inquiry was repeated to an-
other of the party, who had been a
student in Germany. He rolled the
phrase off his tongue once or twice
and showed, that he, too, was
“stumped.”
“Bei den S’chrammen. Well, well,
that’s queer. Oh, yes, it has got some-
thing to do with a sponge. It must
mean, ‘By the sponges.’
“That’s an odd name for a piece of
music,” suggested the visitor from up
the state, in whose honor the expedi-
tion had been formed. The author of
the translation tried to defend it, but
its evident rediculousness only pro-
voked laughter.
Then a third man took a sky at the
puzzle. “I believe,” he ventured some-
what timorously, “that ‘sehrammen’ is
a mechanical, term;—means some kind
of a screw. Yes, that’s it:
screws.’” •
There was a storm of laughter at
this. Then one of the young men mus-
tered up enough German to ask the
waiter (who doubtless spoke excellent
English) what the title meant. The
waiter looked blankly for a moment,
and then had to admit that he didn’t
know. But he would find out. He
hurried off, and before long returned,
a bright smile on his face.
“It’s the same as ‘Auf Verlangen,’”
he announced, triumphantly, in Ger-
man.
“Why, that means ‘by request,’ ” was
the relieved comment of the man who
had started the waiter on the trail,
“How stupid to make such a fuss about
so simple a thing!”
But the ghost would not down. Oth-
er men of the party had asked Germans
at adjoining tables for a translation
of the term, and while no two agreed
on the answer, the decision was unan-
imous that “by request” was utterly
wrong. In the meantime the question
was passed from one to another, until
the gallery in which the aliens sat was
agog with discussions of it.
One man came up to give his version.
He couldn’t talk English well.
“ ‘Schrammen,’ ” he said, “it’s one of
dem tings what you tie a rope on when
you go on a boat. You wind de rope
around like dis,” ■and he went through
the motion of winding.
“You mean the bitts,” suggested the
amateur yachtsman. But he didn’t
mean that. After much cudgling of
brains, the word “cleat” was hit upon.
Yes, that was it. “Sehrammen” were
cleats.
“Then it must be some kind of a
boating song,” reasoned the out-of-
town visitor.
This wash’t entirely satisfactory, but
just here one of the waiters brought
up a tall man with spectacles and the
air of a schoolmaster, and introduced
him as “Herr Prof. Schultz,” a learned
man who could certainly tell what
they wanted; to know. The “Herr
Professor” heard the question with due
gravity, and, clearing his throat, an-
nounced in a judicial manner:
“‘ ‘Sehrammen’ js the name of a little
town in Germany which was noted for
its noises. It was a very noisy place,
and people said when they heard a
great disturbance, that it is a regular
‘Schrammen.’ ”
The “Herr professor” was duly
thanked, and he retired with many
bows. Then another good-natured
volunteer came forward.
“If you will pardon me,” he said,,
with much politeness, “a ‘schram’ is a
wound. ‘Schrammen’ is the plural,
and is applied to the wounds dealt in
students’ duels. Lt is also used to des-
ignate the duels themselves. The mu-
sic is descriptive of such, a duel.”
There were . more thanks, but fur-
ther discussion of the question was
forgotten in the interest excited by
two young women who appeared on
the stage to sing “You Shan’t Play in
My Yard.”—N. Y. Tribune.
