M.4RIM2 IKTEI-I.IOF.HCE. of Interest to Shipping Mpn Genernlly. The lively season In the steamboat bus iness is approaching, and the fact it Is in sight will not worry those In the busi ness. For a considerable time during the summer months the business on some lines does not pay, and owners of boats are anxious that these seasons pass quickly and come seldom. Freight from the North will soon be moving to the Interior by the Ocean Steamship Company’s line and the Sa vannah and Augusta line of steamboats. This will probably warrant the manage ment In putting on the boats which are now out of service. Other business will come to the stenmboat lines shortly, when they expect to enjoy a better business. So far the excursion business has prov ed a success on all the lines which have undertaken it. The steamers running to rmufuskle, Beaufort, and other points, have been Itberally patronized, and the management of all lines are fairly well satisfied with the results so far. Having eeased to deal with sea law yers, says an exchange, two hale old ship captains have been spending their sub stance on land lawyers, and as a result their friendship of long standing has gone by the board. They hove not walked the quarterdeck for many a year, for each is more than ninety years old. They retired nnd made their homes in Rlverhead.L. I.

Each had known the other as a bov and man for eighty years. Often their craft were in neighboring berths in strange ports. Charles T. Strong and Jacob Smith are the names of the litigants. How Copt. Smith happened to give Capt. Strong a note for $75 does not appear. Both are well off financially, and the only possible reason advanced for Capt. Smith borrow ing the money was that he did not need It Is said that lxxh ore so unaccustomed to note transactions that they had some difficulty in conducting the negotiations In strict accord with commercial usage. “As man to man," said Capt. Strong, “you promise to give me this money when 14 is a-fitttng and a-sutting that 1 should have It?” “Asa man to man,” was the reply, “when it is a-fitting and a-sulting, I pay the money." It Is said that for a time the man who made the note krp4 It in order to remind himself that he owed the money. It is alleged to have been his intention as soo>. as It was paid to have turned it over to Capt. Strong so that the latter might have a constant reminder of the fact that tne obligation no longer exised, .uese venerable sons of the sea. might have finished this transaction amicably had they not become involved in a mis understanding with regard to a part pay ment of the note. Capt. Smith paid SSO, and Capt. Strong was so impressed by the importance of the affair that he deter mined to get oil the diversion out of it possible, and hired a lawyer. The lawyer set them right as to whom the note really belonged, and then gave a receipt for the SSO. Through some Inadvertence he re ceipted in full. Capt. Strong discovered the mistake, and when the other old salt refused to pay any more money he brought suit. The de cision was in favor of Capt. Strong. Capt. Smith appealed the case to the County Court, which handed down a de cision adverse to him. Some of the best known lawyers In Suffolk county appeared In the case, and the affair will cost the nonogcnarlans much more than the amount of the original note. Pnsfiengers by Steamships.

From the Minneapolis Tribune. "Y'ou don’t hear much of stud fokcr nowaday," said an old railroad man the other night, “but there was a time when it was favorite among gamblers nd they played it with a vengeance. I was in one game where three good hands came out together on one deal nnd u player who held a full house raked In about $lO.- 000. including a bill of trnnMVr of SG.<OO worth of railroad ties. The man with the cross ties took a wild shot, but he con sidered it safe, and, In fact, almost any player would have taken similar chances. It was u play where only one card, a sew en spot, could win, and three of the four seven werA face up on the table. Only twenty card.*-’ had been dealt and there were thirty-one chances to one that the seven was not the card In the hole. But it was. “Thi* game happened a good many ye-ara ago. when I was out with the officials of my road on a tour of Inspection. I had been traveling with the general manager Jn his private car. but was left over at a small town one afternoon to take a train at midnight over one of the brunch lines. I was dropped into the town about 3 |. in. and it looked like a weary wait for me. There was a little work, as J had to In spect and receive 20,000 cross ties, already delivered at the railroad track. The sec tion man, however, had really inspected the tics, and nil 1 had to do was iasne a voucher for payment, based on the state ment given me. The ties sold for 30 * ‘*t>ta each, and so my voucher called frr SO,OOO, a snug sum for the man who got them out. When this work was finished 1 went over to a rather dilapidated-look ing hotel and sat down by the office stove. Mr. Buckner, to whom I had given the voucher for the ties, was with me, and he Introduced me io several men about the hotel. We had an early supper, i>nd fo knock away the dull moments some body—l think it wus Buckner—suggested that we have game of cards. “Men who were sidetracked os we were are r.oi slow about getting into a game of any kind. If they have sporting blood, and we must have had It. A small room, known as the reading room, was delivered to our care by the landlord, who made no pretensions to style, as he did not even wear a collar on his shirt, and in a lit th* while we were playing. Stud poker had been suggested, and it was adopted. I had played the game few times, but it was not my strong suit, and I wan slow about risking too much on chance shots. I played carefully, and 1 might he put down as the luckiest man, save one, as I got nway not far from an even break. The stakes at first were not high, hut an understanding was that If two players, or all. for that matter, wanted to make a sky limit they could do so. “Before I had been playing an hour I saw that I was up against plungers, and as my cash was not big I played cautiously. Besides. T had to stop before midnight to c.iti'h h train. There were four of us ni the table, rnyaelf, Buckner, a drummer named Whitfield and n lawyer, Maj. Mott, who had come to the town on legal busi ness. He was 50 years old and gray and 1 heard afterweid that in his younger days he was a rounder of the 11 nest type. He still showed signs of it in his playing. The game went along nicely for a time, and the luck was about even, although Whitfield must have been way ahead One or two failures to land a iot had made Buckner rather reckless and he seemed determined to hit hard to win. His luck came hack to him, arid he played with skill. “1 will always remember the hand that ended the game and sent Buckner away from the station that night on the train with me, unnoticed and unannounced, while a hundred workmen were sleeping quietly with the expectation of getting Plant System. of Railways.

The play hud been Jumping high, ami it was my deal. After dealing the first cards, face clown, there was a little betting, and this was continued until all live cards had been given to each of the four players. “Maj. Mott and Buckner were leading in the betting and Whitfield was coming in with raises on his own account. The best I could show was a small pair, nnd as Whitfield had three of n kind In evi dence I simply dropped out. Of his cards showing MeJ. Motts had two pairs, fives and sevens, and we all noticed that I had o pHlr of fives mveslf. a well as a seven s|Ht. Buckner had four spades on the tu ble, and from the way he had be**n betting 1 took it for granted that he had another spade in the 'hole.' He made raise after raise, and Maj. Mott came in every time and better. Whitfield stuck for a while, but it got too hot for his health, and he fell out after having shoved a good chunk of money Into the pot. “The game wus left fo Mott and Buck ner. Out of two hands ahowlng Mott hml tin- better, for lie held two pair. There was Just one chance, ho%vever, out of thirty-two that In* had the last seven. The rilfiing was quick and fast. Maj. Molt got the landlord to fetch his satchel from the hotel safe, and he opened this to show a stack of big money. The money was not the Major’s, hut belonged to one of his clients, am! was the result of i big property' transfer made that day. At home, however, he had plenty of his own, and ua he saw- tie had a sure tiling he did not mind borrowing it for the game. He shot out o ratee that ‘staggered Buck ner for a moment, but the cutter of cros* ties was wearing hin plunging clothes, o he came back and me( It. " ‘Both of us seem fo have money,’ said Buckner, ‘and we might as well it, so 1 will Just raise you $6,000. I haven’t the cash, but I have voucher for the amount, given me by this gen tleman, who can apeak for It* worth.’ " ‘The voucher Is os good as gold,’ T said, ‘and will he paid to-morrow morn ing when the train from this place reaches there. But I think you gentle men are overestimating the value of your ha nds.’ “ 'Maybe we are,' chimed In Maj. Mod, as he announced that he would accept the voucher. ‘As this appears to he vouc last ready money T will have fo call you.’ and lie dived Into his satchel to count off the coin. “ ‘I <!on’t think the bluffers are nil deal, anyway,’ growk<l Buckner. ‘A mlghtv fine chance you've got. I’m thinking, to hold that other seven. It’s a32to 1 shot.’ “ 'Don’t worry yourself on my account, my dear friend,’ said the lawyer kindly. T think 1 am able to play nj>' own hand, if age counts for anything.’ “By this time Mott had counted $6,000 from his satchel of bills, and he ehovc4f it to the center of the table. ‘I call you, Mr. Buckner.’ he said in a low’, meek voice. “*A big flueh here.’ said the Major. 'Here’s a full hand.’ and with that he shoved over hie cards, showing a ev*r> *l>ot In the hole, and raked In the pot. “ 'Gosh!' said the landlord, who was watching, as he tugged ut his neck wiin out finding his collar. "The result completely knocked out Buckner. He was paralysed. He had not looked for It. hilt he managed fo say with a husky voice, 'lt’s good.’ “The game broke up after this. When I went to the train Buckner wus there, going up the road to get eome money, ho said, hut I thought otherwise. By day light It was noised about the town that Buckner had been paid for the tie*, had lost the money gambling and had skip ped. leaving his hundred or more work men behind without their pay. There vas h howling time. The workmen had heard from the landlord that Major Mott hail won the money, and they talked wildly of what they would k>. Hut the Major got the crowd up to the hotel. "'I was In a game with that man Buck ner last night,’ he said, ‘and In a fair game I won his money. But you will not sufTer. Get your foreman to give me i verified account of the money due and l will pay every dollar.’ “This brought quiet. The foreman had the list already in his pocket. It was produced and the men were paid, about $2,000 of his winnings going to settle their claims. “'After all. It’s not a had night's work,’ remarked the Major, 'and It would not he fair to deprive these |>oor i>eople of their money.'

He ran his finger down his throat, stood on hts head and became desperate tn Ills futile attempt* to recover Hu tack. Then doctors were called In. After they had used all the means at their command, including X-rays, they sent Smith to New York, where he was told the only thing he could do warn to wait If the lack became encysted, all right; If It began puncturing his Insides, then they would cut down for it. Ap parently It had lodged In the region of the trachea. If It would slide down the oesophagus it mlgh he removed by diges tive process. There was little hope of that till one night a big fire startled every one in Cromwell. Smith ran, yelled and pumpeo on engine with the rest. In the midst of It he felt a peculiar sensation, from which he was certain that the tack was down. That was the first ray of hope he had had since the accident. As days went on. however, and the doc tors gave no hope life became almost un endurable. He rend the story of Job and of others and kept up his courage. Then one day last inoitth he received a letter. It came from nn English lawyer and ask ed If he was really George Smith whoso ancestors once lived In London. There are many George Smiths, hut after a lit tle correspondence this one was able to show that he was the man the lawyer was after. The lawyer was acting as agent for a wealthy uncle of Smith, who had lost all track of his relative Hnd had thought him dead till he saw the tack-swallowing story, which had been reprinted In the liOndon papers. He had traced out many a Oeorgc Smith previously, but could not find the right one. Word came soon afterward that the uncle was dead and that he had left a large part of his property to George Smith of Cromwell. The lawyer sent for the young man to come over at once, and Georg* Smith railed Saturday, thankful that he had swallowed a tack and thereby become known round the world. Finally, to complete his happiness, the doctors say that. Inasmuch as he has had no trouble since the night of the fire, the; are confident that he need have no further anxiety about the tack. 9
