J. Myers as the ofher and unwilling com. batant. The bitterness between the two dates back several weeks and its cause I par. tially shown in the district court records Such records make it appear that Jordas Myers, A, G. Gibson, A. M. Gibson, George Newman and Henry Rasmussen eutered into ‘wral month-to-month lease with W. R. Mo. rand for the privilege of conducting Satur- day night dances at the hall, the rental to be §76 per montb. Later, it is further shown, Myers returned to Morand the mem- oranda which was the only tangible record of the lease, and secured a lease for him. Belf at 360 per month. The others ob- Jected to this avd secured an order of court in the Creigh- Morand frem allowing him to use it. At the same time they asked that the new lease be held to be their lease, and this gave Myers a loophole through which At- torney John O. Yeiser subsequently jerked him with great promptness and eciat. By Accepting the new ivase as their lease, Myers argues, they contracted to pay *$80 per month rental, but rendered Morand only $75. Subsequently Myors had Morand can- cel this lease on the ground of non-pays ment of full rent, and lease the hall to William MoMillan of Council Blufts at $80 per month. The athers didn’t know of this and répald Myers, his $50 and permitted him ta withdraw from the enterprise entirely. There was signed, also, an agreement or stipulation dis'ntssing the suit against him at_plaintiffs’ sost. But McMilan is Myer's friend and made Myers his “assistant manager.” The two went to the dancing academy almost before dark last ewoning and took possesion, with Morand’ comsent, it s said.

About 7:30 the opiginel and unsuspecting lessecs arrived, with a ticket box under the arm of one of thefi and a emile of anticipation on every face. When they found Myers at the dpor taking in the money they saw a sreat light and realized what had hap- pened. Jordan started In to tell what he thoraght about it, and that's when the offi- cers got him. He was balled out shortly afierward by friends. Other friends kept foming to the station for two hours after he was gone to perform the same kindness for him.

INCREASE OF TONNAGE ON THE LAKES Most Noticeable ¥ re of the Year the Decrease in Grain Re- ceipts at Seaboard (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—(Special.)—The maln currents of internal commerce for 1902, 80 far as they have been made the eubject of statistical reports, are presented in the December summary of internal com- merce, Issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. According to these reports the receipts of cattle at the five ieading stock | markets of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louls and St. Joseph Auring the past year numbered 7,71 9 head, compared with 43,469 head in 1901, and 6,602,735 head in 1900. The number of hogs re- celved in 1902 is given at 16,614,120 head, in contrast with the much higher number of 18,764,014 head in 1901, as well as with 17,239,621 head in 1000. The average welght of the 7,895,288 hogs recelved at Chicago in 1902 was 220 pounds, compared with 226 pounds for twelve months of 1901. At Kan- sas City the average “welght of hogs re- celved in 1902 was 200 pounds and 197 pounde In 1901. At Chicago the demands for city use and local consumption for the year 1002 were 12,689,717 head of all classes of stock, compared with 12,439,207 head in 1901, At Kansas City a somewhat different ten- dency was shown in lighter requirements for local consumption and heavier demands for feeders shipped and driven to the country. In 1902 local consumption took 4,180,297 head and in 1901 2,030 head. The feeder movement In 1902 reached the extraordinary total of 1,112,067 head, in comparison with 758,045 head in 1901. At St. Joseph a similar condition prevatled throughout the year, resulting In a reduc- tion in local consumption from 2,758,110 head in 1901 to 2,419,535 head in 1902, while the number of feeders shipped and driven to the country increased from 67,926 head in 1901 to 152,198 head In 1902. The contribution of livestock to rail- way traffic at these five markets in 1002 amounted to 583,245 cars, compared with 622,352 cars in 1901 and 582,257 cars in 1900. It would thus seem that the high tide of livestock trafic was reached in 1901 and that the last year has returned to the level of activity indicated by the figures of 1900, The stock of cht meats at the five mar- kets of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louts and Milwaukee on December 31, 1901, amounted to 269,137,147 pounds. On the corresponding date of 1902 the stocks were 179,029,100 pounds. There was thus a shrinkage of 90,108,047 pounds, or 33.48 per cent, In the course of a yea Commerce on the Great lakes hetween domestic ports for the entire calendar year resulted In frelght receipts amounting to 54,074,720 net tons, compared with 45,079, 019 net tons for 1901. Iron ore and min erals constitute approximately half of this freight tonnage. In 002 there were 27,- 898,424 gross tons of ore and minerals re- celved at lake ports from domestic sources, in 1901 20,770,447 gross tons. Coal con- tributed 8,256,117 net tons to the recelpts of 1602 and 9,205,764 met tons in 1901. Totals of Lake Trafiie. The final figures for arrivals and ances of yessels in the coasting trade on the Great' lakes for 1902 give, in net regis- tration arrivals of 74,609,251 tons and clear- | suces of 74,807,718 toms. The maximum movement occurred I August, when ar- rivals totalled 10,598,176 tons and clear- aaces 10,848,384 tons. Freight traffic through the Sault Ste. Marle canals «mounted to 35,961,146 met tons in 1902, 28,403,065 tons in 1901 and 25,643,073 tons in 1600. Freight tonnage passing through the Portage lake ship canals was 2,682,189 tons. At the north Atlantic ‘seaboard receipts of grain and flour reduced to bushels were 228,117,884 Bushels at the four ports of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Balti- | more, compared with 322,488,394 bushels in 1901, a loss in 1902 of 20.3 per cent. It is estimated that shipments of grain and flour alone from these four ports represented a shrinkage of sbout| 3,000,000 .net tons in ocean freight. Receipts of grain, including flour, reduced o bushels, at New York dur- ing the past year were 114,926,823 bushels. in comparison with 136,762,751 bushels n 1901, & decrease of 16.12 per cent. The re- duction in grain receipts at Boston was from 52,434,920 bushels in 1001 to 81,674,313 bushels in 1902, or 39.69 per cent. At Phila- delphia 50,966,395 bushels were reported o received in 1501 and in 1902 38,008,306 bush- els, a loss of 25.4 per cent. At Baltimore vecelpts of grain and flour reduced to bush- els amounted in 1901 to 75,991,878 bushels, in contrast with 40,773,785 bushels in 1902, « decrease of 46.54 per cent. Receipts of grain at Portland, Me., tn 1902 amounted to 12,151,840 bushels, -thos of flour to 28,226 barrels, making a grand total of 12,278,857 bushels, including fiour reduced to bushels. Of grain only, not in- cluding flour, 2,979,463 bushels came from American sources and 9,172,377 bushels from Cana Ot the quantity derived trom American sources 2,890,614 bushels wero wheat and 85,849 bushels wers corn. On the Atlantic and gulf coasts promi- nent features of trade are the shipments of coal by water from New York, Philadel- phia, Baltimore and Newport News. Nine coal companies reporting shipments over their docks at tide water give 14,206,600 tons as the quantity carried from these ports to coastwise destinations from January 1 to November 30, 1902. Coal receipts at Bos- ton for the calendar yoar 1902 were 4,280,- 209 tons, compared with 4,812,419 tons in 1901, Of this latter quantity 2,164,558 tons were anthracite and 2,648,861 tons bitumi- nous. For 1902 anthracite amounted to 1,064,170 tons and bituminous to 3,226,089 tone Receipts of cotton in sight for the first four months of the season to December 31, 1902, amounted to 6,773,698 bales. Of this total 4,934,177 bales were recelved at ses. board ports. Southern mills took 820,500 bales. In net overland shipments there b been & steady decrease to 549,060 bales in 1902 from 597,930 bales in 1901 and 704,464 bales in 1900. A total of 10,535,842 bushels of wheat was shipped from Galveston in 1902, South- western yellow pine shipments for the eleven months ending November, 1902, are given as 2,381,838 thousand feet, in com- parison with 1,992,601 thousand feet in 1801 and 1,719,728 thousand feet in the equal period of 1900. Receipts of coal at San Francisco for 1902 amounted to 1,445,698 gross tons, being smaller than during amy of the preceding three years, 61 per cent coming from for- elgn sources. The Pacilc coast salmon pack for 1902 is reported as amouating to 4,224,750 cases of four dozen one-pound cans each, to which Alaska contributes 2,538,439 cases. Arbitrators Are Coml; James M.

The man who invented it, and bas had it patented, says & New York letter, makes a business of taking charge of these combats with the cards. He furnishes all the appa- ratus, and charges $1 per table for his services and the use of his ouffit. As he requires but three assistants, and as there are often from sixty to 100 tables in ome game, he fs not losing money. In this game, each table is a fort, held by four people, who play in the interests of each other, and never against each other. While one couple are at their fort, holding it against two outsidera, the other two are out somewhere In the room making ao at- tack upon another fort. Each game won by the four, whether at the home table or the one visited, secures a small colored flag, which is hung above the fort. The one over which the largest number of flags hang at the end of the evening is the win- | ner, and each of the four receives a prize. There is one pleasant thing about the game —these four who begin together in the be- ginning of the evening are mever pitted againgt each other, but each gentleman is alwa; sure of having one of the two women as his partner. The thing works out in praetice after this manner: The tables are set for four players, as in other games. Each s num- bered, from one up. On each side of the table and clamped to it is a tall staff. Cords run from the one to the other, and upon them the small brass rings, to which the captured flags are to be hung. Sur- mounting the staffs are larger flags, which give a martial air to the room. | As each four come in they are glven badges specifying the table at which they are to be eeated. Those of the gentlemen are numbered 1 and 3; thése of the women, 2 and 4. When the game is ready, the sig- nal is given by the entrance of a drummer and & fifer, who make the circult of the room, playing loudly. After that, the com. mencement of each game is announced by the roll of the drum. Changes in position from table to table are in answer to a blast from a bugle. The opening of the evening is announced by a pistol shot. Thus the affair takes on a military air throughout. The old method of progression from table who manages the affair sends to each ta- ble a small card, at the end of each game, indicating fhe arrangement for the next game. Thus at table No. 7 there will be a card which says, “1 and 2 to table No. 16" That means that the gentieman num- bered 1, and the woman numbered 2, at table No. 7 go to table No. 16 and play one game. It they win it, they carry the flag which an attendant has hung up for that purpose, back to their own table, where it remains. It they lose It, it remains as a trophy for the table or fort they have thus vainly attempted to storm. In either case, they return to thelr own fort after this one | game to await further orders. Meanwhile, their partners have remained at home, defending their fort against an assault from some other table. In the nmext game, there comes another order, sending a couple from their table to attack another fort. There is no reg- ularity about these attacks—one may storm No. 2 in one ghme, No. 10 in another and No. 15 in & third. When there are a large number of tables the room is divided into several sections, and changes from table to table are made only within a given section. But the players are playing during the ev- ening again-t the entire room, and the prizes =se dlstributed accordingly. It looks a little puzzling at first, but is easy enough when one gets the hang of it. The game s exciting—the roll of the drum, the shrill bugle, the flags over the tables, the carrying home of the trophies of war, or the returning empty handed. One of the most attractive features is found in the fact that cne does mot know where he is to be sent, but he always knows where he 18 woing—straight to the home fort, car- | rylng his sheaves with him.

Married a Sent Over The self-styled “Colonel F. Seymour Bar. rington of London, 8. W, and His Majesty's Horso Guarde,” who inarried Miss Wilhel- mina Grace Cochrane of Kansas City, Kas. & week ago, after a courtship of but three weeks, was fined $600 by Judge Tracy in tho police court in St. Lopls last Monday. The charge was “‘disturbing the peace” of James F. Cochrane, his brother-in-law. The “colonel” has no money, and must go to the workhouse. It will require one year's labor on the rock-pile to liquidate his fine. The charge and his hasty trial and epeedy conclusion of the court shocked the colonel, who had little to say. He was dressed with scrupulous care. His clothes, which are of very ordinary texture, seem to have been selected with a view of beivg as foppish as possible. He prizes them hixhly. His over. coat, which he carried with him from his cell, was purchased at a Broadway clothing house. It 1s of the $10 varlety. All his clothes are very new. His hat is one that probably would cost mot more than $1 His suit is of ordinary make. A mock dia mond adorns a blue tie, which the “colonel” never gets tired of adjusting. On the ring finger of the left hand & circlet, with in- itials, is worn. He is proud of it, too, and always holds it #0 it can be seen. Atter the case was closed Barrington was Ted to the holdover, and If no one comes to bis rescue within a few hours he will be placed in the Black Maria and begin his Journey to the workhouse. The charge against Barrington grew out of his fight with Cochrane. At the conclu- slon of the evidence Judge Tracy said, ad- dreseing Barrington: “Under ordinary circumstances it is not regarded the province of a police magis. trate to say much when passing sentence on persons brought before him. This, how~ ever, Is an unusual case. It 18 certainly a sad commentary on our times and customs that educated, cultured American girls fall #0 easy a prey to the wiles and tinkling cymbals of foreign titles. ‘““Under the information, Barrington and Cochrane are charged with conduct tending to produce a breach of the peace. “When Cochrane interviewed this man Barrington and learned how the pseudo lord had won his sister by playing the Claude Melnotte role, it was conduct calculated to cause him to strike the wretch who had not only wrecked his sister's life, but humili- ated his family's game. He ought to have struck Barrington and would have been a poltroon and a coward had he not done 6o.

More than a century and a half ago, r lates the Philadelphia North America Alexander Pope wrote of “Humble Allen who “with conscious shame, did good by stealth, and blushed to find it fame.” Mod- | ern bards could not easily find tnspiration in such a theme. “Humble Allens” are not many nowadays. Charity has become an inuitution, and, like murder, it will out. Philanthropists are sorely distressed to avold publicity for their benefactions and one canmot endow a refuge for orphans or indigent cats without a moisy flour! l\ from the housetops. It is curious and somewhat startling, then, to find that right here in Philadelphia has existed for nearly fitty years, without the knowledge of more than a few persons, an association of men devoted to & unique and unostentatious well-doing. Public ig- norance of their enterprise is all the more remarkable from the fact that among these men are some of the wealthiest, most in- fluential and best known citizens In the community. Included in the membership list are such names as Jay Cooke, N. Parker Shortridg: Lincoln Godtrey, Joel J. Baily, Justus C. Strawbridge, Isaac H. Clothler, John H. Converse, Richard Wood and others of equal standing. But it Is the unusual character of thelr beneficence that attracts interest. All these men are wealthy—some beyond the dredms of avarice—but their purpose has nothing to do with the amelioration of the condition of the pauper. On the congrary, theirs is & socletey for the rescue of the decayed millionaire. ) They call it the Merchants’ Fund associa- tion and the forty-ninth annual meeting was held the other day in a little old room in South Fourth street, away from the clamors of the more pretentious virtues. In a word, the plan of these kindly old | gentlemen is to relleve once wealthy com- panions of thelr early days, who have since | lost their fortunes or in other ways suffered | the vicissitudes of time. The act of incorporation, dated 1854, says that the obfect is “to furnish rellef to indi- | gent merchants of Philadelphia, and espe cially those who are aged and infirm,” and there fs a commentary on the ironic whims of eircumstance in the fact that since that time $300,000 hav~ been paid out in benefits. In that first year seven merchants were alded at an expenditure of $1,300, while in the year just passed . forty-ghree oene- ficlaries were on the roll and $10,200 were disbursed. Comparison of these figures might afford matter for interesting specu- lation. 'Is the merchant of today more reckless than he of a half century ago, or is it that the number of merchants has increased, and, therefore, of course, the number of unsuccesstul merchants More—than $400,000 are now in the in- vested fund of the organization, and it is almost constantly recelving accretions, o | that there is plenty left wherewith to pro- vide for unfortunate plutocrats of the fu- ture, if the supply of unfortunate pluto- crats holds out.

She had two large lumps come under her right arm, the result of a sprain. They grew rapidly, and our physi- cian wanted to cut them out. I would not listen to it, and che tried the Cuticura Remedies (as I did & fetv months ago) with magical effect. In six weeks' time the lumps had entirely disappeared,and have never returned. ‘1 have great faith in the Cuticurs Remedies, and I believe they might be as efficacious in similar cases with other people, and thus save much suffering, and perhaps lite. I have derived so mu\sx‘ benefit from the use of them myself that 1 am constantly advising others to use them. Re- cently I recommended them to an office boy for . his father, who was dis- abled with salt rheum. The man's feet were swollen to an enormous size, and he had not worked for six weeks. Two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment worked & perfect cure.. You never saw a more grateful man in yourlife. “1 am very much in- terested in another case where 1 have recom- mended Cuticura just now. My housemaid's mother has a goitre which had reached s very dangerous point. The doctors told her that nothing could be done ; that she could live only two or three weeks, and that she would die of strangulation. She was confined to her bed, able to speak, when her daughter, at my suggestion, tried the effect of the Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. Strange to say, she was very shortly relieved of the most distressing symptoms. The swelling seemed to be exteriorized, and she is now able to.be arount her house, and can talk as well as ever. 1t seems to mé that I have pretty grounds for believing that Stiouta Remedics will prove sto: cessful in the most distressing forms of blood and skin humours, and if ou wish to use my testimonial as {emln indicated, I am willing that you should do with the further privilege of revealing my name and address to such persons as may wish to substantiate the above state- ments by personal letter to me."

BRAVE BILL ANTHONY’S GRAVE » of the Ma Historie Grow Isla Hero Buried in d on Long Visitors to the Cemetery of the Ever- greens, In Brooklyn, who are students of American bistory and who have given par- ticular study to the incidents and details of the battle of Long Island, fn the days of the revolutiong have made the interesting discovery that the last resting place of “Brave Bill” Anthony 1s in historic ground. This hero of the tragedy in Havana har- bor, which hastened the confiict between the United States and Spain, relates the New York Times, lies in the very path followed by the British under Lord Howe when they stole around to the rear of the American forces in the battle of Long Island, and, surprising the patriots, effected their defeat. The grave of Anthony is on a gentle slope dipping down into a little valley near that part of the century called Beacon hill. In the days of the revolution this vale was known as Jamaica pass. From the Jamalca Toad, as it was then known, at a point | which is now Jamaica avenue and Fulton | street, East New York, this pass, today given over to resting places of the dead, wound through the hills to the northward, | twisting and turning until it became a lane, | which was known as Rockaway path, and which led into the Jamaica road, some dis- tance to the westward. When Lord Howe, with his redcoats and | Hesslans, crossed from the British camp on Staten Island to Long Island, and pre- pared to move from the shore of New York bay upon the Americans fntrenched in Brooklyn, he found that there were four routes by which the important positions established by.the patriots could be ap proached in force. These were the Coast road, Flatbush pads, Bedford ps and, in the rear of the Americans, Jamalca pass. Leaving halt of his forces to engage the Americans on the south, Howe, with 8ir Henry Clinton commanding his advance guard, made a wide detour through Flat- lands and what is now East New York, with the idea of taking the Americans in the rear. The British commander found that all of the passes mentioned, with the exception_of Jamalca pass, were strongly guarded against attack. The patriots, ap- parently expecting no move from that quarter, had neglected to properly guard and patrol Jamalca pass, to which Howe marched stealthily in the night. When Clinton in the van reached Howard's Half- way tavern, which stood near the entrance to the pass at which is now the $ynction | of Jamaica avenus, Broadway and Fulton street, East New York, he compelled the young son of Major Howard, the innkeeper, to guide him and his men through the pass | and slong the Rockaway path. The British came out again upon the Jamalca road, near | what is now the Bedford district of Brook- Iyn, taking the Americans by surprise in the morning and compelling them to re treat upon Now York.
