It isn’t surprising that Sir Thomas Lipton finds difficulty in selling the Shamrock. Who wants a boat with a twisted bowsprit—that*is to say, with a disjoin'ed nose?

Democrats say that the south is all torn up over the Hooker Washington dinner and also that it has been made solid by that feast. There seems to be some contradiction here.

Senator Jones of Nevada an nounces that silver is dead and that he is back in the Republican party to stay. It is now in 'order for Senator Teller to issue an address to himself as “The silver party of the United States.

Why not choose a name for your farm and paint it up where passersby can see it. If you are selling dairy products or truck, you will find a name valuable as a sort of trade mark and you will be inclined to live up to it by continually trying to impove the quality of tlie articles you sell.

One Ormsby, of Chicago, learned recently that his wife had given birth to quadruplets, making an aggregate of 14 children in 7 years, and in despair, fled from his home. Now, however, his wife has closed a contract with a dime museum to exhibit the four at $250 a week. Ormsby fled too soon.

What a contrast the Czolgosz execution'presents to that of Guiteau. The maudlin sentimentality that glorified the former was summarily squelched by Warden Meade in the case of the latter. It is a pity that this squelching process could not have gone further and suppressed all reports of the assassin’s death.

It is a pity that the supreme court does not hand down its Philippine decision at once, and in it clear up some of the manifold perplexities aroused at its Porto Rican decision of last May. The fact that a majority of the court does not support the former de cision taken as a whole, leaves the whole Philippine situation in much perplexity.

If the Schley court has done nothing elfte, it lias furnished the material from which a true history of the Santiago naval campaign can he written. All the essential facts have now been set forth beyond shadow of dispute. There are conflicts in the testimony, of course, just as there are conflicts in the four gospels, but they are not on material points and the weight of evidence is sufficiently great in all cases to decide them. One transcending fact has been brought out; viz; that Sampson’s plan of battle was utterlydisregarded and the battle won by Schley’s loop.

DECEPTION. When the conjurer shows an empty hat, and at once begins to extract from it rabbits or cabbages, we know that we have been adroitly deceived, because we know we can’t get out anything that isn’t in it.

'charming daughters, make their home in the ohl Otis homestead in Rochester. They have been there since General Otis wont to Manila, more than a year ago. —Heretofore they have always moved about with him from post to post, but lie declined to take them to the other side of the world, although they were anxious to go. Perhaps the handsomest of General Otis’ three daughters is Miss Mary Otis, who Is Just at present visiting

friends near St. Louis. She Is a tall 1 young woman of good figure and is about li) years old. Site has Jet black hair and dark brown eyes. Her complexion is a (lark olive, which speaks of much life in the open. Miss JLaura Otis is a yenr or two older, and “Bobbie,” as General Otis calls the third sister, is the youngest of the group. She Is the daughter of the general’s second wife and is 17 years old. All three of the young women are musical, and their home life is especially pleasant.

The Cause In Doubt.

Speaking to a woman’s/ convention, the governor of Colorado remarked: “When tlie Israelites were broken witli dissension. God gave a woman to judge them. Deborah ruled them for 40 years, and. the Bible adds, then they had a rest. 1 1 have never been clear whether the rest came as a result of her rule or because her reign was ended.”

Balzac's Picture of George Sand.

In the published volume of his letters to Mine. Hunskii, Balzac thus describes George Sand as he saw her In 1838: j “I found her in her dressing gown, smoking an after dinner cigar beside the tin* in an immense room. She wore very pretty yellow slippers with fringes, coquettish stockings and red trousers. Physically she has acquired a double chin, like *a canon. She has not a single while hair, notwithstanding her terrible misfortunes. Her beautiful eyes are still as sparkling ns ever. M hen sunk in thought, site looks just as stupid as formerly, for, as I told her after observing her, the expression of her face lies wholly in her eyes. “She goes to bed at (1 in the morning and rises at noon. She is an ex-' celleut mother, worshiped by her chil- 1 dren, but she dresses her daughter 1 Solange in boy’s clothes, and that Is I not well. She is like a man of 20, I morally, for she is innately chaste and artist only on the surface. She smokes to excess and plays perhaps a little too much the great lady.”

Rough on the Horse.

The joke Is on an Auburn (Me.) man who mixes up bran for his horse every night and who also uses sawdust for bedding. It seems that his wife, who sometimes assists in the care of the horse, changed the barrel containing the sawdust to where the bran barrel had been standing. The husband, not noticing the change, fed his horse with sawdust and bedded It down with bran.

Barnum’s Monkeys “All well —all happy—lots of fun”. That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum’s Circus ever since the keepers began closing the monkeys with Scott’s Emulsion. Consumption was carrying off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accidentally broke a bottle of Scott’s Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly 1 lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it , might do them good. Since ’ then the monkeys have received j regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from i consumption. Of course it’s cheaper to buy Scott's Emulsion than new monkeys—and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease. , If you have it or are threatenBThis picture represent; the Trade Mark of Scott';: Emulsion and is on the

THE RISE OF LIPTON

• Kvtilxtloii of the Shamrock's - | Oxvuer From Farmhand * . to Merchant Prince. *

BY C. T. BAXTER.

. Sir Thomas Lipton. who is over here with the amiable Intention of carrying back to England the America’s cup, is a man who begun life us a farm laborer and has become a merchant prince. Naturally his life story is a romance of facts. The evolution of a poor boy Into a multimillionaire is a fascinating thing to contemplate, even In the prosiest of biographies. When Sir Thomas recently arrived in New York on one of the palncellke liners, attended by a troop of servants j and accompanied by a cartload of lugI gage, he made a very different enI trance from that of Ills first lauding at that port. On that initial occasion he was kicked down the gangplank by an irate second mate. The mate was angry because the 17-year-old boy was a stowaway and hud stolen his passage from Charleston up the coast. There are many other vivid contrasts between the circumstances of the Sir Thomas Lipton of today and the half starved Irish lad of 30 years ago. Born of Scotch-Irish parents in Glasgow, who were poor as poverty, he struggled up to boyhood somehow. At last his heap of hoarded pennies had growu to be enough to pay for a steerage passage to America, and he ran away. He was a bov of 15 years then and small for his age, but there was that within him that kept him going when grown men would have given up In despair. He landed In Charleston. He got a Job as a harvest hand on a rice plantation, and for two years he was a farm laborer, fighting with the newly freed negroes for a chance at the hardest work In the world. But as he worked In the fields It dawned on the lad that not here, where

SIR THOMAS LIPTON IN UNIFORM.

the whole population was hunting riches, but In the old grooved life of his native city, lay his best chance of wealth. He would apply American methods to business in Glasgow and see if In the combination there was not something for Tom Lipton. He walked to Charleston and begged a steamer captain to let him work bis way to New York. He met with a blunt refusal. Consequently when the steamboat sailed she carried Tom Lipton hidden amid the merchandise in her hold. Again Lipton found himself In New York, this time with a purpose and a plan in his mind. He washed himself of his grime In a park fountain, earned a breakfast and began his search for work. The strong young boy, his thews steeled by the hard training In the riceflelds, found little difficulty in getting work. Of course he thrived. He did not know any luxury and but little rest, but he put by money. Before the year was out he had saved enough for a steerage passage and was back in Glasgow.

Presently the staid Scottish city was astonished to see two monster hogs, groomed until their bristles glistened, decked with ribbons and led through the streets behind a banner labeled “Llpton’s Orphuns.” ' A crowd gathered and followed the huge swine to -a little shop with the name of Lipton above the door. The Xpung iellow was proprietor, cleric, salesman, bookkeeper and porter all In one. He lunched in the shop and dined not at all at first. The venture succeeded. He got a clerk, and presently In another quarter of the city there was another Lipton shop, an exact duplicate of the first. Today there are 420 Lipton shops scattered through Great Britain, (50 of them being in London. They are all alike, all gayly colored and Illuminated, so that they stand out like lighthouses on a dark night. Llptou’s tea conies from his own plantations in Ceylon, but a score of other food products also bear his label and swell his fortune. In the United States lie owns a butchering plant that kills 3.000 hogs dally, ami lie has 600 refrigerator cars to carry the meat to the markets. His fortune Is estimated at $.">0,000,000, and he Ir not f>o years old. Kor his charities he was knighted a year ago, and It Is Sir Thomas Lipton who has come over here to sail his yacht, tne Shamrock, to race for* the America’s cup—Sir Thomas Lipton, who shoveled coal to pay for his stolen passage on the Charleston steamer.
