THE WAYS OF A TRuSF

LIUHT I Mil Ii I POX IUI MF.THOUS OF THE TOBVtC O ( OMIJINK. Hearing in Progress in ew Jersey Relative to the A i;ointment of a Receiver Urins Out Facts. NEWARK. K. J.. Aug. 13.-Attorney Genera! McCarter to-day resumed his argument at the hearing before Vice Chancellor Litney to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed for the Universal Tobacco Company. He took up the charges of William H. Butler against Frank Tilford aud Henry B. Wilson as to the alleged purchase of the Henry Clay & Bock Company, while they were agents for the Universal Company. He produced affidavits to show how Tilford and Wilson, while directors of the Universal Company, bought the Havana Commonwealth Company, the Henry Clay & Bock Company aud the Weissinger Company, as component parts of a new concern, and then turned It over to the American Tobacco Company, clearing löOO.OUO on the deal, aud throwing the plant into the "trust." A new affidavit, made by William H. Butler, was introduced, setting forth that after the alTeged Jreachery of Tilford and Wilson the Havana Tobacco Company, a new concern, was incorporated in New Jersey with an authorized capital of 160.000,000, and that subsequent to this the Havana Commonwealth Company, the Welssinger Company and the Cuban Sugar Company combined with the Havana Tobacco Company, stock and bonds being taken in exchange for the individual assets of the subsidiary concerns. It is alleged that Tilford and Wilson secured 130.000.000 for the Havana Tobacco Company's recurltles on all the property. The vice chancellor remarked about the manner in which business is done in financial circles, and said he couldn't declare the Butler voting trust void, nor would he feign a temporary stay. Attorney General McCarter had not concluded his argument when the hearing was adjourned until Saturday next. BAKO m VMS IIIS MOEV. Sues for Commissions for Selling shipping Trust Stock. NKW YORK. Aug. 13.-Baron Robert Oppenheim, of Paris, has begun suit in the Supreme Court against the Trust Company of the Republic to recover $300.000 and interest for alleged services in obtaining subscriptions among his friends in France for securities of the United States Shipbuilding Company. He swore to his complaint before the United States consul general in Paris on July 7. He asserts that he was engaged from May 1, 1W2, to Jan. 1903. Application was nnadc to Justice Freedman to-day by the counsel of the trust company for an order to compel the baron to make his complaint more specific and to state whether the promise to give him $300.000 was mF.de orally or in writing, and who it was made the promise. Justice Freedman denied the application, but gave the company leave to apply for a bill of particulars. NO REPORT RECEIVED. Washington and Ottawa Without Advieea on the Petrel Episode. WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. No dispatches have been received during the day by the State DepaCment concerning the firing upon the fishing vessel by a Canadian revenue cutter !n Iake Krie. Officers of the iepartment upon reading the press dispatches of the occurrence searched for precedents in such cases and found none. The fact that no telegraphic advices have been reiv'd leads to the belief iu the department that the case is nt of such serious consequences as to make it an international complication. OTTAWA. Canada. Aug. 13.-The minister of marine and fisheries is without advice of the attack yesterday on au American fishing steamer by a Canadian revenue cutter. Captain Dunn, of the Petrel, has been asked by the minister to report at once on the matter. ON A TROPIC AL LAGOOX. The Flight of Fowl nt Sunset and the banners' Fusillade. London Globe. Lower and lower he sinks, that great gold tyrant beneath whose gaze we have quailed all day. The puckers round our eyes, those wrinkles brn f glare, gradually disappear as the shadows grow longer and we can stare the dying sun in the face without blinking. The brazen day is nearly over, and before th earth is consumed by night in its velvety blackness we are about to snatch an hour's sport in the delicious cool of the tropical twilight. Far away the low lying margin of the palm-fringed mainland glows the rugged mountain ranges are here bathed in flaming gold and there are thrown into shadows of the deepest cobalt. Between us and the land is the great gray lagoon. Calm und undisturbed it lies, simmering forever in uncomplaining silence. S atterd over Its steely surface the many reedy islets, the treacherous banks of which render 'hem secure from the desecrating foot of man. but to the wild fowl of the night they offer both food and sanctuary. Mi either sid . far into t lie hazy distance, stretches the dreary bank of undulating sand that separates the patient placid Waters from tht chaffing, restless sea. From day to day. from year to year, the great green breakers pound their mournful music on the everlasting stretch of beach. In long, heaving lines they roll in. crumbling Into cream.- surf as they pass the reef, and with a hollow crash opting info glistening BpCa) up.. a the danlinK sand bv day. At night, when the sense of sight is at a discount, that of sound seems accentuated, and a thundering roar tills the ears and tells its terrible lales ot the vast blue Indian ocean. But we are in no mind for such thoughts Just now. for snugly hidden among the long ooarse grass of the sand banks we await the evening flight of the countless fowl Which take daily refuge on the silent lake. No sign of life is there as vet. but as the hlood red sun touches the distant sky Hue and relieves ti rid of its scorching rays a thrill of awakening pul?e seems to pervade the lonely spot First the dimple of a rising fish on the calm wafer, then a croak of a hidden frog and presently a Oct swims out "f the reeds, leaving an ever-widening wake as he calls in gutteral cries for the others of his kind. The monotonous booming of the surf behind us grows seemingly louder, but above it we ouddenly hear a sound that causes us to reach out for our suns. At first but a slbillant whisper, then a noisy chorus and a flock of whistling teal wheels into sight against the claret and ruby sky. Round and round they fly, with quick beating, short wings, uttering their shrill notes and telling all that the hateful day is dead and this is the time for food and play. Flock after flock spring into the air from their reedy retreat and flying in ever-widening circles cause our hearts to beat faster when we hear the rush of their pinions as they pass almost within shot. Then with a swishing whirr a flock is overhead, and the stillness is rudely broken by the report .r our guns. A succession of thuds follows the shots, and the startled flock packs closer still, and rises out ot range, a nare dnshes away across the sand, and two elegant cranes riv heavily rrns the la soon till drrrninr . i k - V . UT7iW 1 1 HT sky line they seem la be lost in a bed of flame. Otherwise all seems undisturbed, and the marsh terns skim about unconcernedly, while a darter or two flash by with snaky necks and pointed beaks intend to fish and regardless of us. Crouching low we listen snd look, and ere long another flock of teal rush y within shot. Again a rapid fusillade, ind down come three birds with a splash into the water in front. A great sea esgie is ho ering high up so high, in fact, that the st.n's rays, which have left us on the flat ba ik. are yet reflected on his white breast and he gradually descends on motionless, outstretched wings, for this is the sport he ).ves One teui, u cripple, has managed to swim out of range and makes on effort to fly Into some reeds near bv. But with a magnificent swoop the great bird seises aud bears it away without so much as ruffling the water and our bag is the less by one. Already a gauzy mist is risIng from the water and gathers in filmy clouds around che dark and sweating reed had. From all uirecüon Hie flight has now

begun, and long strings of fowl fly far overhead and make for the sea behind us. while ever and anon there is a sound as of the beating of many paddles as a flock of cumbrous pelicans rises awkwardly from th- water's vdaje. and makes for the feeding grounds, out on the open flats. MURIEL DOWIE WEDS.

Divorced Wife of Henry Norman Xow .Mrs. Fltsgernld. U NI N. Aug. 13. Edward Arthur Fitzgerald, a lieutenant of the Fifth Dragoon Guards, to-day married Muriel Dowie, the divorced wife of Henry Norman, the author and traveler, who is now a member of Parliament from South Wolverhampton. The marriage occurred before a registrar at Hampstead. Lieutenant Fitzgerald was born In Connecticut, being the son of a British subject, who married the daughter f Eli White, of New York. He gained a reputation by climbing the "Alps from end to end" and by discovering the "Fitzgerald pass" in the New Zealand Alps. In 1893 he married a daughter of Baron De Rothercob.

TWO TRAINMEN KILLED FKEIGHT TRAIX Rl XS AWAY OX A CAROLINA ROAD. Dashes Down a Mountain, Aronnd Carve and Over an Embankment nelow Asheville. X. C. ASHirwLLE, N. C, Aug. IS. A train of thirteen loaded freight cars got beyond the control of the engineer on the Southern Railway this afternoon, and, dashing wildly down a steep grade on Saulda mountain, was wrecked at a turn In the road near Melrose. The dead: J. H. AVE RILL, JR., engineer, of Asheville, N. C. WILLIAM HAIR, fireman, of Asheville. Injured Brakeman W. B. Sherrill, of Swannoa, N. C, fatally. The train was found to be beyond control soon after leaving the top of the mountain and its speed increased with each mile of the long run. By the time the train reached Melrose it was going at'a rate of more than sixty miles an hour. Operator J. W. Heatherly, hearing the noise of the approaching train, ran out to see why it did not stop. In compliance with the signal flag. He emerged from the station door just in time to see Fireman Hair wave a last farewell and smile grimly as the train sped by. I:- alizing that the train was running away, Heatherly fainted and fell to the platform. Both engineer and fireman stuck to their posts, and when the train reached a curve several miles below Melrose it jumped the track and landed in a confused mass at the bottom of the steep embankment with the trainmen crushed beneath the debris. Brakeman Sherrill lost both legs and he Is expected to die. Averill was a son of Col. J. H. Averill. of Charleston, who was prominently connected with the Charleston exposition. POPE IS MUCH BETTER HE TAKES A LOXG DRIVE AXD WALK VATICAN GARDENS. American Priest Appointed Domestic Prelate Mnrh .Money Found in Pope Leo's Apartments. ROME. Aug. 13. The Pope is quite well to-day. He took a long drive and walk in the Vatican garden, and thou received the Austrian ambassador, who presented his credentials. Mgr. Caglano, the major domo, accompanied by Cardinals Rampolla and Mocenni, opened the apartment of Pope Leo this morning, breaking the seals pnt on at the time of the Pontiff's death. They found a Misiderable amount of money several millions of francs, it is said besides other valuables. Cardinal Crestonn, prefect of the Congregation of Sacred Rites, was not present, having left Rome on account of sickness. The Pope was again photographed to-Uay m the gardens. He afterwards received Cardinal Satolli, who inquired regarding the appointment of a new secretary of statu in llCCOOslon to Cardinal RaJBpOlla, and again suggested Vin-nz Vannutelli as the best fitted for the position. Cardinal Satolli then proposed the appointment of Father fSdwartl Fowler, secretary to the Rev. J. J. Harty, as a domestic prolate to the Pontiff, which post carries with it the title of monsignor. The Pope granted the request, and a !!: making the appointment was issued laamediately. Cardinal Cibbons came to Rome to-day to ist tit the cons ( ration on Saturday of the Rev. J. J. Harty as archbishop of Manila, which is to be performed by Cardinal Satolli in the Francis- an Church of St. Anthony. On Sunday the Pope will receive the new archbishop and Father Fowler in private audience. The former will receive the pallium from Cardinal Macchl on Monday and will leave Rome the same night. The Pope this afternoon received the ministers of Peru, Uruguay and Argentina, who presented their credentials and greetings from their governments on the occasion of his election. Cardinals Rampolla and Mocenni. after a summary visit to Pope Leo's apartment, decided to begin to-morrow to make an inventory of all its contents. tSEFLLXESS OF THE CLP RACES. Of Interest to More People than Those Who See the Yachts. John R. Spears, in August Outing. We do not yet know definitely how much wider a yacht might be built with success, but out of the international races off Sandy Hook have come othor races of the same kind on the great lakes, where still greater breadths of beam have been found advantageous. Moreover, the smaller classes of yachts have shown tremendous speed for the scow model pure and simple. Who can say on authority that thirty feet is too great a beam for a ninety-foot sloop 7 One may admit that the transatlantic steamers have not yet adopted overhangs, and that their proportion of depth to beam is greater even than that in Shamrock III. But. in spite of these facts, it may be worth while in a practical point of view to know what is the shape of hull that will give greatest speed. As to the methods of framing for strength with small weight, we have proof that the experiments made in building swift yachts has been of practical advantage, for the best yacht builders are. without exception, the best builders of all kinds of sels that require strength with light weight. Further than that, if the overhang is not to be adopted in the merchant service, the spoon-shaped bow in a moditi.'d form can now be seen in some cargo carriers, and there is hope for still further Improvements in this direction. But the greatest benefit the American peokm derived from the international yacht races has come to them indirectly, j From the salt sands of the seacoast to the sod houses or tne ptains. anu me log cabins of the backwoods, everybody becomes int. rested in the fate of the America's cup. Has it been of no advantage to the nation that was without warships and without merchant-ships that the yacht bearing the old flag should triumph from year to year? Cattle Have Texas Fever. TOPEKA.

A Blue Book just issued in London, containing "further correspondence relatiug to the Island of Tristan l'Acunha." gives sm information of interest about the condition of this diminutive colony. In January Tristan d'Acunha was visited by H. M. S. Thrush, and Lieutenant Watts-Jones and Surgeon lobb of the vessel drew up a repart on the island, which was forwarded by the Admiralty to the Colonial Office, to be laid before the secretary of statt- n March M, The population, says the report, now consists of seventy-six persons, divided Into Seventeen families or households, All but four of the inhabitants were born in the island, two of the exceptions being Italians, wlin sire described as being; probably the best educated persons then There have been no marriages in the islaud for three years. The islanders, though sunburned, are described as being practically "white" The men are hardy, but not of fine physique; "the women are decidedly liner specimens thall the men; their features are regular, pleasing and of somewhat Semitic type. The children are clean, fat. healthy and well cared for, and surprisingly well clad." There Is no definite sign of mental or physical deterioration arising specifically from the system of Intermarriage. The people, generally, say the officers, were very anxious about the education of their children, and the difficulties attending this seem largely responsible for the views they expressed on the subject of leaving the island. Their staple food is potatoes, milk, beef, mutton and poultry produce, and of these there is an ample supply, but for anything beyond UM inhabitants are entirely dependent on passing ships. Rats, which prevent the growing of any grain, are the curs.- of the island. Fish are plentiful, but the inland ers are chielly I farming community. "The Thrush." says the report, "took thirtv-threc cases to the Island, all of which came from the Cape; this does not Include the mails and some books which came from Eugland. She brought back forty-five packages, addressed to various people in Capo Colony, as the islanders said that unless they could send some of their things to their relations in the colony they would get DO clothing." The schooner trade which nsed to be regularly carried on with the island has come to an end. It is pointed out that the Island might, in the future, have a value, should a large carrying trade be established between South America and the Cape, as an intermediate station for wire lew telegraphy; but this and the occasional assistance given to shipwrecked people seem the only imaginable reasons for occupying it. The great majority of the people say they would like to quit the island if they could realize or receive compensation for leaving their stock behind them. Admiral Moore, in his dispatch to the Admiralty, covering4 the report of the Thrush, says that "the possibility of removal having been presented to the islanders. I submit it is very desirable a decision in the matter should be arrived at, and communicated to them at the first possible opportunity, u order that they may remain no longer than is necessary in any doubt as to their future." COSTLY WALLPAPER. Some Varieties tome Much Higher Than Fine Silk. Tit-Bits. It may come as a surprise to those householders' who are accustomed to pay a few shillings apiece for their drawing room i an rs to learn that in many of the wealthy houses the walls are covered with materials which cost considerably more than the finest silk. "Here," said a wallpaper manufacturer the other day. "are examples of what we call tapestry papers. They are copied exactly from the finest Smyrna and Turkish i.ii;s, tin" odors and designs being reproduced, as you can see for yourself, with startling fidelity. We have men ransacking all Europe, copying paintings and mural decorations of past centuries. Here is the pattern of a very beautiful design of the time of Louis XIV. which we obtained in rather a curious way. 'One of our customers happened to be in Paris last summer, and being fond of inspecting old mansions, one day entered a tumble-down chateau which formerly belonged to a dead and long-forgotten marquise. The rooms were absolutely rotting ;iway, but in the salon the wallpaper still hung, though in ribbons. The pattern was so exquisite in design, snd the coloring ivid still in many places, so harmonious, that he collected as many portions as he could a::d sent them to us with a request to reproduce as perfectly as possible. "We succeeded beyond his best hopes, and the actual paper is now hanging on the walls -of a West End mansion. We only maufactured sufficient to cover the ballroom, and it cost him a matter of 2 a yard, but he never grumbled, and. after all. it was not dear, considering the difficulty we had. Wallpaper is now made to Imitate iu the minutest detail every kind of wood, the

finest grained mahogany, green ash. delicately reined maple, and. in fact, all those woods which are used in paneling. Wheu polished it Is impossible to tell the difference, and I defy any one to distinguish our paper from wood by merely looking at it. I have been deceived myself many a time. "Then we have papers resembling mosaics and Sienna marble, as well as the famous embossed Cordova leathers. These latter are very expensive, being retailed at 90s a yard. It is. however, practically indestructible, and can be washed and scoured like ordinary woodwork. An imitation of these leathers is also made which, of course, c osts considerably less, being sold at about 3s a roll of eight yards, but even this price is beyond the purses of any but the really wealthy. " We pay large sums for special designs, and many of our artists earn incomes which the most hard-working R. A.'s would not despise. There seems to be at present a run on delicate tints and floral designs. A particularly effective paper is one showing lattices of climbing roses blending into faintly tinted sky lines. It has the texture of the finest silk and costs as much. Another design which ifc very popular just now we imported from Holland ships in full sail, with glimpses of trees and the red of Dutch roofs in the distance. This, in the finest materials, we can retail at 5s a yard. "Many of our wallpapers are designed especially for a customer, and when such Is the case the price, of course, runs high. A couple of years ago a gentleman came in and chese a very beautiful design, and then informed us that he desired the paper to be copied directly on to the wall of his drawing room in oils Of course, we furnished his order, but it cost pirn a small fortune. Six months later he came and told us he was tired to death of the design, and ordered us to paint it out. which we did. substituting a paper this time for the paint. Y have several customers on our books who have the papers on their walls changed every two months. They get tired of looking at the same pattern day after day, and as they have plenty of money we don't trouble ourselves trying to argue them out of their eccentric notions. In one house in Park Lane our bill for wall papers ran to over 700 for the year, and this is by no means an isolated case. Yet, it is a fairly paying business, but one must employ only the best artists to get the best results, and that, of course, brings the rofits down but. on the whole, we are very well satisfied." COURT GRANTS AN ORDER

BOARD OF WORKS RESTRAINED FROM AWARDING A CONTRACT. North West-Street Property Owners Demand the Improvement Shall Re Vitrified Brick Court News. The petition for a temporary restraining order, filed yesterday by North Weststreet property owners, to prevent the Board of Public Works from awarding a contract for the construction of a flint rock street was granted by Judge McMaster In the Superior Court. The complaint was filed by John W. Barth aud Lucy A. Caylor, resident property owners on North West street, and it is set out that the board wholly disregarded a petition signed by thirty-four persons for vitrified brick and intended to use flint rock macadam in tho construction of the street, although the macadam petition was signed by all but eighteen property owners. The resolution against which the suit is directed is for the paving of West street, from North street to a point ninety feet north of Fourteenth street.

IVettcr to Mr. A. Gillett, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sir: You understand grinding wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and corn. We understand grinding paint-things. The two sorts of grinding are not much alike. Wry likely oats and wheat behave very differently in the mill, and you manage them differently we know very little about your work; don t need to; we'd rather depend on you. But we paint your house and mill, and out-buildings; perhaps you'd be glad to know about grinding paint; for some people mix their paint with a stick in a tub. We use lead and zinc. And our line is as tough as your oats. Tub mixers imagine they mix it. They don't; they can't. Takes grinding to mix lead and zinc. They are both white. Tub-mfxers don't know- it; but tub-mixed lead and line is a streak of one alongside of a streak of t Inother. We grind as you grind; and our paint is lead and zinc ground together, mixed intimately: it is neither lead nor zinc, but lead and zinc: the lead is lost, and the zinc is lost: each lost in the other: both lost in the mixture. Load chalks and zinc peels: lead and zinc ground together hang on and protect each other. We take care of our mill outside; you take care of it insii . Yours trulv, F. W. DEVOE & CO, P. S.
