James W. Porch, Chairman of the Joint Conference Committee of the New- Orleans business exchanges In explaining the objects of the con vention says: "We realize that It re quires a combined effort of the large cities north of us to create that vol* time of tonnage that will give ns as perfect shipping facilities by water as enjoyed by New York. Iu fact, a careful analysis of the situation clear* ly establishes the fact that we shou'd *|3iave better facilities and that the wonderful tonnage that we will be j able to control will speedily require them. One of tho results of this convention wo hope will he perma nent 1 organization with n few trained and thoroughly competent men in charge whose business It will be In watch over every Interest front a mlaalssippl valley and southern point of vlow’ who will constantly guard us against discriminations and If the* occur, be in a trained position to ad vise all of the participating exchang- os of Just what la being done, where" In It hurts, and how to apply the curp. It will also be their duty to gather data of every concelvahle kind for the benefit of would-be shippers, to look into all entanglements or dlffl- * cutties that may occur by people who do ship; In other words, to be the watchdog of the situation and through an Intelligent effort well ap- pled build up sentiment to the point of making out natural advantages properly workable. New Orleans realises that as the greatest gateway ot the Gulf much Is expected of her. leruour sword. Bui we know that this was not true. Cromwell’s own account at the time, which was in all conscience gruesome enough, explicitly said, as regards that part of the garrison wuich was in the ’two Towers’: •When they submitted, their officers were knocked on the head; and every tenth man of the soldiers kill ed; and the rest shipped for the Bar- badoes.’ Indeed, Cromwell’s precise statement is that those whom In the heat of action he ordered put to the sword were any that were in arms in the Town; and there Is no mention of civilians being killed, much less women and children.” It Is highly Interesting to know that Cromw’ell, referring to the bloody work at Drogheda, expressed | the wish "that all honest hearts may give tlie glory of this to God alone.” Aud further: "And now’ give me leave to say how it comes to pass that this work is wrought. It was set upon some of our hearts that a great thing should be done not by power j tion and distribution of thousands of tons of useless documents and the use of the congressional frank by campaign committees will continue to burden the mails and add to the expense of the service. “In a financial sense, the govern ment’s management of the postal service has always been a failure. What the government’s experience would be if the ownership and con trol of railroads and telegraph and telephone lines were confided to the government is problematical. If the management of the postal service affords us any indication, it would be a disastrous step for the government to take, for there w’ould always he demands for reductions of rates and for free service that would Interfere with the solvency of such utilities. ‘Congress ought to be brave enough some day to take hold of the postal service and make it self-sus taining.

CZAR PAUL’S WIG. i Bet An Officer Tweaked It and Won and Promotion. Paul, the eccentric czat of • Russia assassinated In 1801, was very particu lar as to bis dress and considered tri fling matters as of supreme Impor tance. This peculiarity wns once taken advantage of by an officer of the guards. Major Vakeel, to win a bet The major, the wildest Joker In the nr- > my, wagered several hundred rubles that he would tweak the tall of the em peror’s wig on parade. The very next day the emperor hap pened to be present at an early parade I and, ns destiny ruled it, took a posl- | tlon for a moment immediately In front I of the* daring major. Breathless with I excitement and terror, Vaksel’s com panions beheld that rash officer’s right j hand steal slowly from hls side, rise | to the level of the exar’s neck and j give the wig’s hanging tall a most de- j elded tweak. ! In an lustant the emperor's face, j pale with fury, was turned upon Vak- i ■el's countenance, _ which, however, I only re Hoc led au expression of child-1 like Innocence, mingled with the most j deferential astonishment. “Who dared to do that?” asked the enraged czar, bis eyes giving flashing evidence that bis most dangerous mood was upon him. ”1 did, your majesty,” said Vaksel, who, however bis heart may have flut tered, managed to preserve outwardly an unruffled calm, together with an ex pression of Innocent surprise. “It was crooked, your majesty,” he added, in a confidential undertone. “I straighten ed It for fear th«^ younger officers should see.” 1 Paul’s countenance cleared at once. He stared fixedly, however, at Vak eel’s innocent looking face for some seconds. Vaksel admitted afterward that this was the trying moment and he had said to himself, “If I waver I’m lost!” Then the czar spoke, and spoke so that all might hear. "I thank you, colonel,” he said. If ever a step in rank was gained by the purest effrontery it was so acquir ed on this occasion, and Vaksel left the field, not only promoted to a covet ed position In the guards, but richer by many hundred rubles as the result of hls wager.
