DUFFY MALT WHISKEY CO. Rochester, N. Y. A LEGEND OF AUSABLE. A Man Who Crossed a Bridge That ‘Was Not There. From the Chicago Times-Herald, To the lover of curious scenery the Ad- irendacks present an infinite variety. The region abounds in lakes large and small, surrounded by mountains or embowered in forests, and the rivers which find their way between the mountains seem in some places to have cut their way through, leaving the sheer precipices on either hand to mark their pathway. The most famous of these gorges is the Ausable chasm, which is not far from where the Ausable river flows into Lake Champlain. The galleries, caves and castellated columns at tract thousands of tourists yearly, but sev- enty years ago it was comparatively un- known. In those early days the precip- itcus cliffs were spanned by a wooden bridge, over which the farmers had to pass on their way to Ausable Forks. The bot- tem of the chasm at this point was a sheer descent of 125 feet. In those early days the pioneers were not skilled in the art of bridge building, and so one night, when a j fierce storm thundered through the moun- tains, the bridge was swept awayy with the exception of the main stringer, a beam about eighteen inches square. The bridge Was never rebuilt, and another road to the little village of Ausable Forks was utilized. The old stringer, however, still stretched across the cliffs above the Ausable chasm. One pitch black night, about ten years after the storm that had demolished the bridge, a stranger drew up his horse in front of the tavern at Ausable Forks. It was about {0 o'clock, and the taproom was well filled with villagers, drinking, smoking and playing cards. The entrance of a stranger caused the usual commotion, and as he sat in one corner eating a hastily prepared supper he was the cynosure of all eyes. After the meal the host, as wag the custom, engaged the stranger in eehversa- tion. “Dark, nasty night outside, sir?’ “Yee, pretty black.” . ot Have any trouble in finding your way?’ “Oh, no; I used to jive in this neighbor- hood twenty years ago.” “So? Well, you'll find things pretty well Paty changed since you left.” : “Yes, I expect so; the old bridge is still standing, though, and I am glad of that, for I helped to build it.” “The old bridge?” questioned the tavern keeper, and every one in the room looked up in amazement. “Why, yes,” réjoined the stranger, “the bridge across th¢ chasm down the road a half’ mile.” “What! are you crazy?” shouted the host. “There 1s no bridge across the Ausable; there has been no bridge there for. the last ten years.” Afcke Aad “But you are mistaken, my friend; I rode my horse across it not three-quarters of an hour ago.” “Impossible, sir; J tell you that the bridge blew down ten years ago.” “Again I tell you, my friend, that I rode across it this very night,” was the imper- turbable answer. “It was too dark for me to see, but I heard the clatter‘of my horse's feet on the planking and the noise of the water in the chasm below.” 3 The argument waxed warmer and warm- er until the stranger said that they would wait until next morning, when it could easily be settled if there was a bridge or: not. He made a wager with the landlord that it was still standing across the chasm. The next morning every man, woman and child of Ausable Forks was at the chasm. Sure enough, in the soft sand of the road there were footprints of a horse, and the trail led from the stringer across the chasm up to the tavern porch. One young dare- devil walked across the narrow stringer and made a startling discovery. ‘There was a similar trail on the other side! The stranger had told the truth. In the darkness of the night his horse had crossed the chasm on a single beam. But that was not the strangest part of the story. When that forenoon the stranger rode down to the Ausable chasm to settle his wager with the keeper of the tavern and he saw the perilous path over which he had traveled the night before it is sald that he was stricken with a trem- bling that never left his limbs until death, and that Tithin the space of sixty seconds is hair turned from a jet blac color of the driven snow, “+ Ick to the sm eee A New Form of Sailboat. From the Selentific American, A new sailing vessel, termed the “umbrel- la boat,” or boat with a cyclone sail, has been very conspicuous at Cowes and in the Solent. The chief feature of this buge um- bella rigged above the boat is, it is said, that “the wind pressure does not tend to incline the boat. When the wind is making a large angle with the sail the center of pressure is almost at the center of the sur- face, but when the wind strikes the sail at an acute angle, as in all sails or kites, the center of pressure moves toward the weather edge; but, by suitably adjusting the sail, the desirable result of obliterating all heeling movement has been achieved. In practice this has been obtained by put- ting more sail to the leeward than to the windward of the mast, and also by placing ihe sail not quite at right angles to the mast, but more raised on the lee side. The sail is made oval, with the major axis hor- izontal, su as to be able to carry more sail with a definite height of mast. The train- ing in a horizontal direction is accomplish- ed by means of 2 turntable, and the ele- valing and lowering by two tackles. There is a balance weight which helps in elevat- ing the mast, and which is just sufficient to balance the dead weight of sail in a calm, not including the beat. The sail can be set and furled in a minute; it does not close like an umbrella, but each side shuts up like a fan. The object of the sail is to be uble to sail without inclining the boat, so that the limit of driving force is not gov- erned by the stability of the beat in any way, and also that the boat, sailing on an even keel, has less resistance than when sailing ith a ist. The sail of a boat, il- lustrated in the journal, measures 30 feet horizontally and 16 feet up and down,while the total length of the boat is only 17 feet on the water line. With an ordinary rig 290 square feet of canvas was found too much for this boat, but with the umbrella sail she carries 360 feet of canvas and sails much faster. A light boat, especially adapted for this sali, is being built by Messrs. Thornycroft of Cheswick, England, the well-known manufacturers of torpedo~-boats, German Army's Colored Bandmaster. From the Chicago Chronicle. Sabac el Cher is the only colored band- master in the German army. He is at the head of the music corps of the Royal Prus- sian regiment of grenadiers, King Freder- ick Hf (No. 1 East Prussian), which gar- risons Koenigsberg, Prussid. Sabac el Cher is said to be remarkably handsome. His father was born in lower Bayon Prince Albrecht of Prussia found him at the court. of the khedive and brought him to Berlin. He married a German woman. Sahac el Cher played the violin when he was eight years old and received an excellent musical education. The band is in great demand. aanaOOR RSS Aiea neal eno Te CURRENGY : REFORM se i '9x : — Business Men” of the Country De- mand Further Legislation, TWO GREAT PROBLEMS 10 BE SOLVED Proféction of the Treasury Against Raids on the Gold Reserve. THE MONETARY COMMISSION ‘The business men of the country intend to ask a hearing atthe coming session of Congress. The niorétary commission, which bas been sitting here et intervals since the 20th of September, “bas been’ working hard upon a feasure gkicurrency reform which they propos? to mt to Congress, with the business sei mt of the country be- bind it. The moyethent has been one of the working business men from the outset and has been independent of the Bankers’ Asso- ciation or any other body of purely finan- cial men. The plan for concerted action by the business interests originated with the Indianapolis board of trade, and was given form by a committee headed by Mr. Hugh H. Hanna of that ‘city. ‘The hard fight over silver last year, which followed three years of financial depression and anxiety, convinced Mr. H. H. Hanna and his associates that important changes were nebded in the currency system and that it was high time for business men to interest thenselves in the subject. [hey called a preliminary.conference at Indian- apolis in December ‘last, when it was re- solved to Invite the boards of trade from all over the country to send delegates to a lorge conference in January. The outcome was a delegate cénvention, which adopted resoluticns. declaring for the gradual re- tirement of the paper circulation and the substitution of a banking currency. An executive committee was appointed, with Mr. Hanna as the chairman. To Study the Problem. This committee .<was instructed to ask Congress to authorize the appointment of a commission to study the currency prob- lem and repert a bill for the action of the two houses. It was in pursuance of this request that President McKinley sent to Congress ‘his message urging the appoint- nent of such a commission. A bill for the purpose passed the House of Representa- tives on July 24, but was not acted upon in the Senate. Mr. Hanna then called a meeting of the executive committee, who proceeded to act under the alternative power given them by the Indianapolis con- vention to appoint a commisston of private citizens. It is this commission which has been at work upon a comprehensive scheme of currency reform. Their plan is ap- proaching completion and will probably Le given to the public at about the time of the meeting of Congress in December. The project of a commission of experts for dealing with: the purrency has not be- fore been tried In the Wnited States. Such commissions have frequently been pamed in Europe, and their reports are among the most ‘valuable contributions both to theoretical and prketi@al finance. One ot, the ‘best written Uf*these reports was that of the:British gold and silver. commission in 1888, . which ,,lisgussed the various phases of the silver question and thevargu- merts for aad againg, bimetallism, , but, donclided swith. thé. ‘sdéomniéfiaation’ that Great Britain, adjere to the gold standard.

Finance;” The bullion report submitted to the.Brit- ish parliament in 1810 has been famous as a political classic from that day to this, and the ingniries made-in regard to the failure of -the English banking act ‘after the. crises. of 1847 and 1857 are almost equally interesting. The commission new sitting at_ Washington may ke a report ‘whicn wit! mark’ an’ epoc! ae Américan finance in much the same. way, a8 Oe pul- Yion’ report and the report of the Indian currency, commission in. British finance. A report, outlining the conclusions of tke commission, is to be given’ to the public within a few weeks. The more. elaborate. presentation of arguments upon every de- tail of the proposed measure is being pre- pared under the supervision of Prof. Laughlin, the author of “A History of Bi- metallism in the United States," and may acnaae several weeks more for its comple- on. The monetary commission now in session in this country differs from those appointed abroad in the fact that it is distinctly rep- resentative of the’ business interests, and has no Official chara¢ter. Some of the del- egates to the Indiznapalis convention be- lleved that a commission coming thus from the heart of the business community weuld have even greater influence than a political commission named by the President. Presi- deat McKinley is understood to have de- slared that he was immensely pleased with the character of the appointments made upon the commission, and that he could not have made better selections if they had been left to him. What is hoped by the promoters of the work is’ that the report of the commission will be approved by all the boards of trade which sent delegates to Indianapol's, ard that this unanimous demand. of the organized representatives of the business community will command the respectful attention of Congress. Senator Edmunds a Member. Mr. Hanna and his associates worked hard to secure thoroughly representative men on the commission, and were greatly pleased when they‘ obtained the consent of Judge Edmunds of Vermont to serve as chairman. Judge Edmunds ts recognized as one of the greatest lawyers in the coun- try, and his word carried greater weight during his long service in the Senate, from 1866, to 1891, than that of almost any other member. He was recognized as absolutely honest, ulmost unlimited in- information and unrivaled in clearness of intellectual vision. These great qualities he has brought to the service of the commission. He hesitated at first to take the time nec- essary from the large practice which has developed since he resigned voluntarily from the Senate six. years ago. He assur- ed Mr. Hanna that it would give him greater pride tobe “absociated with this work than with-fusy-lother which could possibly be suggamed,:@nd he finally con- cluded vhat he wauld,gnake the sacrifice. Mr. Charles S. Pus iid, who succeedcd Daniel Manning ‘as “Mr. Cleveland's Sec- retary of the Tftasdily, represents the great financial ingirestsnof New York.

While the commission have not put their conclusions in definite form, tt is prob- able they will provide fcr a gradual retire- ment of some of the paper money of the government as other currency takes Its place. This other currency will probably be issued by the natioral banks, The ccmmissioners hope to disarm the preju- dice against national banks by putting it in their power to extend a more gener- ous accommodation to the public than has heretofore been the case. Many of the commissioners believe that the opposi- tion to the national banks which exists in some quarters is due to the very fact that the banks have beeen restricted by exist- ing law in granting credit as liberally as they would be able to do under a better system. Many arguments have been pre- sented to the commission in favor of a evrrency based substantially upon bank- ing assets. This means that a bank may istue notes for circulation as money with- out depositing United States bonds in the custody of the United States treasurer as required by existing law—in other words, that a bank shail have control of its bank- ing capital instead of surrendering it to the custody of the United States or any other person or corporation for non-bank- ing purposes. It is not proposed, however, to permit banks to issue notes freely up- on their general assets without ample pro- vision for their saftey. Safety is insured in Canada, whose banking system is the model .of many of those recommended to the commission, by the maintenance of a general safety fund in the custody of the government, contributed by the banks, by making the circulating notes a first lien on the assets and by authorizing the as- scssment of shareholders, if necessary to redeem the notes, to the amount of their holdings of the capital of the bank. Projects Ahead. The issue of circulating notes upon bank- ing agsets prevails in nearly all the sol- vent banking systems of Europe, but is a somewhat novel proposition in this coun- try after thirty-three years of experience with a different system. Just how far the commission will go in this direction has Not yet been determined: Steps toward such @ currency have been recommended in the Baltimore plan, the report of Secretary Carlisle _in 1894, several reports by Con- troller Eckels, and the recently published plan of Secretary Gage. Some conservative benkers are a little timid in granting the Power to issue notes upon assets to the small banks of the south and west, and may criticise such a policy if it is em- bodied in the report of the commission. The great weight of the opinion of nearly all political economists and trained finan- cers is likely to be thrown into the scale in favor of a currency based upon asseis, although they may differ in regard to de- tails. The argument which is most power- fu! with those who advocate this system of nete issues is the fact that it will promote the creation of banks in the south and west and will enable them to extend credit on much lower terms than is now done. ‘This is the case in Canada, where rates of interest at the branch banks in remote corners of Manitoba and the interior prov- inces are only a fraction ef 1 per cent high- er than in Montreal and other commercial centers. The work upon a measure of currency re- ferm has been going on steadily since Sep- tember when the commissioners held their first meeting. Several days were de- voted to general discussion of the currency ovtlook and three subcommittees were then appointed to consider the several subjects of coinage, the government demand notes and the banking system. A COUNTRY DOCTOR’S PRACTICE. The Man Hardships and Peculiar periences He Has, From the Journal of Medicine and Science. * A continuous practice of twenty-seven years, even in a small community and by a physician who claims only ordinary skill ‘or success, must necessarily afford many veases of medical interest. The clientele dees not change so rapidly as in cities, and one gets better acquainted with family traits and peculiarities. These are some- times very marked. I am acquainted with certain families in which the prognosis in any serious disease is bad from the start, while I know other families in which I should never think of giving a patient up— unless recovery was impossible—until actu- ally moribund. I wish it were in my power to describe adequately some of the more important cases that have come under my notice. The early years of my practice in this town were peculiarly hard. There were two other physicians in it, but they were both advanced ir years—considerably older than the writer himself is today. They were both of excellent repute in the com- would allow them to attend they were sure ta be called upon. As a consequence of this the greater part of my business was in the ‘adjoining towns. Living on the seacoast where the land is much intersected by estu- arjes, a large part of my practice was reached by crossing the water or by trav- eling on foot. Many a time have I been routed from by bed at 12 and 1 o’clock at night in the dead of winter, and been rewed a mile or more acrcss the water, and then had to walk up to my knees in snow for several miles. When I came here there were but five horses in the village, and very few in the surrounding towns, so that walking was often a necessity. I did not ride a bicycle, because there were none; rcads were too poor. I remember on two occasions after crossing the water I had to walk five miles in the deep snow. I went solely as a matter of duty. I undoubteily saved the life of my patient, and he paid me with a promise to bring’me some fish. Much of my early practice was on some- what distant islands, and though the trip was enjoyable enough in pleasant summer weather in a good yacht, it was decidedly the reverse in an open boat in a winter's gale. The trips in a summer fog thouzh not dangerous were not exactly agreeable. On several occasions I have spent neariy the entire night on the water rowing aim- lessly about and unable to find my desti- nation. The hardest time that I ever experienced was once in the spring when the ice was breaking up. I had a distance of but three miles to go—two by water and one by land. I reached the place after some delay, but on my return to the shore I found the stream so full of floating ice that it was impassable. I was so anxious to get back that I offered twenty-five dollars to any one who would undertake to get me across. The amount offered was five times that of my fee. I could find no one who would risk the attempt. I then got a man to take me in his sleigh to a peint where the ice bad not broken up, so that I might walk across. I started for a house that I saw, but lost my way on the ive and landed in thick woods. There had been a heavy storm a day or two before and I floundered around in the snow, one minute on a rock or boulder and the next up to-my neck in a drift, until I became so exhausted that after I at iength got sight of the house I could not get to it until I had Iain down on tie snow and rested nearly half an hour. I ‘left my home at 8 a.m. and did not get back until. 7 p.m. I lost ‘twenty dollars by being away and have never fully recovered from the exposure and fatigue I underwent. Fortunately advancing years tring some alleviations—I leave all such trips now for my juniors. —_-+ e+ —_____ Jersey Coast Alive With Cod. From the New York Times. ‘The ocean is alive with codfish. All along the Jersey coast the nets are overloaded with thousands and thousands of pounds of cod, and every kind of con- veyance from a farm wagon to a lighter has been pressed into service to help carry the miraculous draught of fishes. As a result the price of cod has gone down like the mercury in a blizzard, and vast quantities of cod are being shoved off on Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Cin- cinnati, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Boston, Buf- falo, Syracuse, Rochester, Albany, Newark and Trenton.

It is evident the time is near when sports- men in Maine will have to be satisfied with one deer apiece per season, instead of two, as at present. In an interview at Bangor, Warden Neal said to the Herald corre- spondent: “Just think of it! In 1894 there were shipped over the Bangor and Arovsto9k railyoad 1,001 deer; in 1895 the number in- creased to 1,581; in 1896 the shipments were 2,245, and this year, in October alone, or in one third of the shooting season, over 1,200 deer have come down over that line. “Before any change can be made in the law we shail have another season with the legal allowance of two deer apiece. What the number killed in 1808 will be you can estimate for yourself. There was an in- crease of about 50 per cent from 1894 to 1895, and about the same increase from 1895 to 1896. From 18% to 1807 the increase will be, probably, 33 per cent, and, as the number of sportsmen is becoming larger every year, there is no doubt that 1808 will show a kill of 4,000 deer, or 33 per cent over the estimate for this year. “Now, these figures represent only the deer that are actually sent out of the woods by rail. A great many others are sent out by other means of transportation, eaten in sportsmen’s camps, consumed by woods- men, or, what is worst of all, slaughtered merely ‘for the fun of it,’ and the carcasses left to rot in the forest. The total must be nearly doubie what appears in the railroad figures. “1 am speaking now of the Bangor and Aroostook country alone, and the region close by. In the whole state, they say, 10,000 deer will be killed this year. Even allowing that the deer are increasing, how long can the supply stand such a draft? Not long, you may depend. What is the remedy? Why, at the next session of the legislature you will find those who have the best interests of the state at heart asking for a law cutting down the allow- ance of deer to one for each man in a sea- son. And one is enough. He gets his sport, and also enough meat to supply all his friends. What more can he want? No sportsman of the right kind would ask for more, and no other should be allowed to have more. “You will find that, as a rule, the men for their personal wants, and sell the other in the Boston markets, getting thereby ‘enough money to i ! ated spectator ENGLISHMAN ON BASE BALL. Game Seemed a Dastardly Attack on the Batsman. Frem the Bosten Transcript. The game throughout seems to be a das- tardly assault with intent on the batsman, who, armed with a policeman’s stick, or waddy, or club, or whatever it is called, sets himself up, within a defined area, which looks like the ace of diamonds, to be cockshied at by a“long, strong man, who can project a ball with unexampled vio- lence, at the same time imparting to the missile a disposition to dodge and curve and twist, and ultimately land on the bats- man’s short ribs by false pretenses. How- ever, the batsmen seem to have tnured themselves to these brutal attacks, and they await the onslaught with commend- able fortitude. A ball that to the uniniti- looks like carrying awa large portions of the striker's anatomy is nearly always deftly and unexpected smit- ten below the vest and wiped right out. Another feature of the game, which lends excitement to the whole undertaking, is the wild scramble for bases. When the runner Starts out to cover his ninety feet his chief anxiety is to land on the next pad before the bau, which is invariably heading in the same direction at top speed, as the boys don’t stop to blow on it when it coi hot. These contending elements give vi- vacity and spirit to the game, which is never at greater pitch than when a runner finishes a brimant run by plunging-forward and finishing the rush by sliding graeefuily in on his ear or nose. Then, too, the ubiquity of the fielders is an amazing thing. Indeed, the manner in which the scientific fielder manages to be here, there and over “beyant” at one and the same ume is the most remarkable thing in contempcraneous history. notice the enthusiastic plaudits which rent the air when a genius succeeded in chasing an escape. ball one hundred yards or so, falling over twice, finishing the run on his hands and catching the recalcitrant globe with his feet, or a performance to that ef- fect. Base ball is a spirited affair; it is alive from start to finish, like foot ball; it does not give one time to grow old; it does not wear on the spectator like a lingering ill- ness, as cricket is apt to do when two stonewa.ers are in. If a man should per- chance go to sleep he does so at the risk of his life, and in case of death there is every prospect of the insurance company refusing to hand over the money, on the plea of contributory negligence. are my first crude impressions of the game.
