success. Numerous complaints have been
made of several men who huvo been going

had no stamp. Their plan is to rush into a

which must be mailed, and wind up by asking
for a stamp. A stamp is a very small thing
so they are seldom disappointed. It Is Baid

enough stamps from working the scheme to
keep them supplied w ith a comfortable jag

Jacksonville Metropolis Cupt Sommers,
of the steamer May Gardner, plying between
this city and Mayport. savs that he has seen
many a school of fish In the S'. Johns river,
but Friday morning his experience lays all
other previous sights in the shade. Shortly
after leaving Mavport a school of mullet was
passed, making their way towards the ocean.
In a little while the May Gardner was
actually plowing her way through millions of
mullet, the fish cavorted, jumped about and
slashed the water on all sides as the steamer
made her way through them. Capt. Sommers
says he saw several bovs on the beach pick
ing up fish as fast as they could which jumped
ashore
Metropolis: Friday afternoon, on Main
street, Jacksonville, near the Hogan's creek
bridge, two crowds of small colored I oys on
either side of the street were engaged in a

toy. about 12 years old, was struck in the
mouth by a piece of brick. His lips were
badlv cut and several teeth loosened. Ihe
wound bled freely, and the boy was taken
into a colored woman's yard near by, where
his injuries were attended to. Notwithstand
ing this, the other boys kept up the fight, and
bricks and shell rained fast and hard until
one gang was put to flight and chased up the
street by the victors for several blocks. Two
or three of the boys were struck during the
engagement w ith bricks.
HOME FOR THE SUPREME COURT.
A Proposition to Buy the Corcoran
Art Gallery for that Purpose.
Washington, Sept. 15.—The Corcoran
art gallery will soon be changed into a
temple of justice if the next congress will
agree to the plans prepared by Attorney
General Olney. The Corcoran art gallery
has always been the second point of in
terest to the tourist, the Capitol alone
taking precedent as a show card of Wash
ington. This building will be vacated
next spring by tho ari gallery trustees,
and the art treasures of the
gallery will then bo moved to the new
building which is now under construction
further down Seventeenth street. Every
one who has visited Washington remem
bers this building standing on the corner
of Seventeenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, with its huge bronze lions at the
door, and around tho wails of which in
deep niches stand in bar relief heroic
statues of the greatest painters and
sculptors of the early and middle ages.
The gallery overlooks the war. state and
navy departments; and while built of red
brick and brown stone, is one of the most
beautiful structures in the city.
It is proposed to convert this art gal
lery into a hall of Justice and give to the
supreme court of the Pnited States per
manent quarters it has never enjoyed in
the past. If congress will coincide in the
scheme the white house, the war, state
and navy departments, the department of
justice, tho treasury department and the
supreme court will be focused almost
within two squares of each other, and
none more than 500 yards from the white
house. Congress has repeatedly promised
the supreme court a home, ar.d the need
of ample headquarters for this
body has been conceded for a number
of years, yet no steps have been
tuken to give this great judicial tribunal
its proper environments. A scheme has
been on foot for some time to erect a
marble palace of justice northeast of the
capitol building in a position correspond
ing to the site now occupied by the new
congressional library. This could only
be done by an outlay of nearly a million
of dollars, and will not boas conveniently
located as the Corcoran art gallery. The
supreme court at present is crowded
into the old Senate chamber,
which wasfoccupied'the upper house
of congress in the early days of tho gov
ernment. The chamber is small and the
justices themselves are cramped for room.
The space around the inclosure, from
which attorneys argue their cases, will
not admit mor<Jthan 75 persons, no matter
how important the case on the docket
may bo. The Corcoran art gallery is
well adaptod for court purposes. The
main features of tho art gallery are three
large rooms on the first and second Boors,
the one directly over the other.
The upper room at present used as the
main picture gallery would be useu as the
court room and its lofty ooilimrs. with
massive oak doors, would make it one of
the most impressive tribunal halls in the
world. It is an immense apartment con
taining hundreds of large canvasses. It
could be arranged so as to not only give
ample space to a massive supreme bench,
but would also afford plenty of room for
any number of attorneys and leave space
enough for as many spectators as would
ordinarily attend the sessions of the
court.
The corrosiiouding gallery below, used
as the statuary hall, could lie arranged
into a magnificent library for tho supreme
court. Adjoining these two main gal
leries are any number of smaller apart
ments which would serve admirably as
offices for clerks of the court and other
functionaries of this department of the
government. At present the offices of
the clerks of the supreme court
are scattered all over the
eapitol building, while the library
is placed far up on one of the up
per floors out of reach of the justices and
can only be found after a laborious climb.
There is, moreover, at present no consult
ing rooms for the justices, and in tact
when taken into consideration that this
court is the greatest tribunal on earth it
has the meanest quarters in the country.
I he building ean ho purchased from the
Corcoran nrt gallery trustees for fc'iOO.OOO.
If it is not purchased by the government
it will he turned into a hole! or else lie
sacrificed for a more modern structure to
he used as a flat apartment house.

Chicago. Sept. 15. — Trading on the board to
day. with the exception of corn, was dull and
inactive, partaking greatly of the usual half
holiday character. In corn, however, the
trade was fairly large, but within a moderate
range. At the beginning of trading wheat
was easier, on the continued weakness in
corn, easier cables and the large receipts in
the northwest. The weakness in corn, how
ever. was the main factor, as it has been for
some time past. When the market got down
to the ‘put” price it steadied on free buying
by commission houses. Toward the close the
market strengthened somewhat but the trad
ing was very light and of a scalping nature.
The close was a shade under the opening
price. December wheat opened sevi&ofiAiC,
declined to 570. closing 3 4®44e lower
than yesterday. Cash wheat was in fair de
mand. Prices Me lower.
Corn opened weak on general rains through
out the corn belt and larger receipts than ex
pected. ihe weak feeling was assisted by
the receipts of stop orders, but the market
steadied at the decline on good buying by
commission houses, subsequently advancing
on predicted cooler and frosty weather in the
west and southwest, and on good covering by
"shorts.'’ Later when the large estimated
receipts for Monday were posted prices
w eakened under the hammering of the bearish
local crowd, but closed fairly steady on good
buying at the decline. Mav corn opened at
52 : ,@53*-c. sold between 53 ,ifti.3Hc and 5214 c.
closing at 53c— ‘ E o lower than yesterday. G tsh
corn was in fair demand; prices were * 2 c
lower.
Oats opened easy in sympathy with corn,
but the offerings were well taken and prices
subsequently advanced partially in sympathy
with corn. The trade was not large and the
close was quiet. May oats closed unchanged
to * 3 c higher than yesterday. Provisions
opened easy on weak hog market and in sym
pathy with the weakness in corn. Later it
strengthened on purchases by outside packers
but subsequently eased off on rather large
offerings and closed tame January pork
closed 2~Mc lower: January lard 22*40 lower
and January ribs 15c lower.

ALL NATIONS USE SPIRITS.
Temperance Advocates Have a Truly
Gigantic Task Before Them.
From the New York Herald
It may be of some interest to your read
ers to know that almost, the whole world
is given to supplying distilled spirits to
satisfy the appetite of mankind, and it
would appear that the efforts made to
suppress the desire for stimulants by the
advocate of temperance is as impossible
as to demand something in opposition to
nature.
To give an idea of a few nations supply
ing the intoxicants, with their names and
from what made, I herewith submit a
few:
Aqua ardiente, made from agave tree,
in Spain.
Arrack, made from coarse sugar, in
India.
Mahwah arrack, made from Juice of
palm, in East Indies.
Arraka, made from mare’s milk, in
Tartary.
Arrakl, made from dates, in Egypt.
Arika, made from cow’s milk, in Ice
land.
Brandy, made from grapes, figs, etc., in
Europe and America.
Erustung, made from sloes, in so ith of
France.
Gin, made from barley and Juniper, in
Holland.
Gin, made from barley and turpentine,
in England.
Goldwasser, made from barley and
anise seed, in Dantzic.
Kirchwesser, made from cheray ber
ries, in Switzerland.

Maraschino, made from cherry berries,
in Zara.
Curaooa, made from oranges, in West
Indies.

Islands.
Whisky, made from molasses and grain,
in Europe and America
Woohah. mado from herbs, in Africa
Y-wer-a, made from the root of ths
turoot, in Sandwich Islands.
Yrostir, made from grapes, on tho
Rhine.

dies.
This list does not comprise all the

A thousand or more come under the bead
of manufactured or compounded.
