KEW YORK DIVE RAIDED.
Over 200 Men and Women Arrested
at the Famous Tivoli.
New York. Aug. I.—Police made a raid
on the Tivoli concert hall in West 35th
street at 11 o’clock to-night and more
than 200 men and women were taken
prisoners. It was one of the biggest raids
ever made in New York.
Fifty policemen In plain clothes and the
reserves from the Tenderloin precinct de
scended upon the dive in a body and
closed every avenue of escape. Four pa
trol wagons were employed to cart the
prisoners to police stations.
Fifty-four women and 154 men were
taken to the police station. The women
were locked up and the men were re
leaned after being warned by Captain
Thomas that he would hold them if they
were caught again.
When the raid was about to be made
word spread all over Broadway and the
Vlxth avenue district, and Thirty-fifth
street between Sixth and Seventh was
packed with people when the patrol wa
gons started on their trips.
The prisoners were greeted with deri
sive hoots and yells. Another crowd num
bering 1.000 gathered around the police.
Capt. Tromes’ entrance was dramatic.
Ha was in a unifom and when he had
marched his men inside he took a posi
tion in the mi<klle of the hall and glared

ivafi scared and when the captain had
•afle-d himself of this he exclaimed the
ft trl rally:
’•Every man and woman in this place ia
to consider themselves under arrest."
Bedlam br ke loose as soon as the can
tain had finished his declama'ion. and
screams and yells of terror, some real,
acme simulated, filled the place. Many of
the w:men tri* and to faint and a few suc
ceeded, and the men who had "Just
dropped in to see what the place was like,
den’t ycu know." looked sheep.Fh enough
Detective Glennon won the plaudits of
the crowd in the street when he escorted
a pretty Salvation Army lass with a bun
dle of War Crys to the door and bade
her depart in peace.
It took several (rips to the wagons to
carry the 154 men prisoners to the police
station.
Name# and addresses were taken at the
station, and after Capt. Thomas had

ENGLAND'S GROWING GREED.
It In Standing; in (ho Way of Doui•*-
fie Reforms.
London, Aug. I.—During (he debate in
:he House of Commons to-day on the
bill for supplemental war loan of £8,500,000,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Liberal,
; siiid. that owing to the existence of three
i fragmentary budgets, he was unable to
conclude at what (he government figured
the cost of the war. He estimated that
it w'ould be nearer £80,0X1.000 than £60,000,-
000.
Sir William added that statesmen of the
highese authority were impressing upon
the British the fact that they were the
best hated people in the world. Lord
Salisbury could not understand the reason,
but Lord Rosebery knew the cause of (his
hatred. Lord Rosebery had declared tha;
the empire needed peace. The last twen
ty years Great Britain had been lading
hands with almost frantic eagerness on
every desirable tract of territory adjacent
to its own. This greed excited envy and
stood in the way of domestic reforms.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Matter# of Interest to Shipping Men
Generally.
The dredge Alabama is digging a slip
at Rourke’s wharf preparatory to the
building of a marine railway there, men
tion of which was made in the Morning
News some time ago. After finishing this
work ihe dredge will be towed to Ocra
coke, N. C., by the tug Abram Minis,
where the R. R. Moore Dredging Com
pany has a contract.
The marine railway projected for j
Rourke’s wharves is not sufficiently large
to accommodate all vessels. The larger
tugs will be able to haul out, however. I
The fiscal year just ended was a pros- j
perous one for the merchant marine, or,
rather, for the shipbuilders, says the Bal- j
timore Sun. About 417,000 tons were add
ed. 213.052 tons being steam vessels. The
I>akes excelled the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts in the character of their output of
vessels. One vessel of 6.025 tons was built
for the lake trade, while nine other lake
steamers of over 5,000 tons and five of over
4.000 tons were added to the fleet on our
lakes. For ocean service the largest was
the California, of 5.879 tons, built at San
Francisco for the Hawaiian trade. Six
steamers of over 4,000 tons were built on 1
this coast for the coasting trade and only
one, of 1,771 tons, for the foreign trade.
Some schooners of over 1.000 tons are still
built for the Atlantic coast trade. The
low’ rates at which foreign-owned ships
carry freight makes the "unprotected"
ocean trade unattractive to American
shipowners. What the latter want Is a
bounty paid by the farmers and others to
make up for the low profits to be had at
sea. With free trade the United Kingdom
had under construction in the first three
months of this year 1,249.090 tons of steam
ers and 11,000 tons of sailing vessels.

SMITH’S COURSES ALL RIGHT.
Commissioner Glenn Says lie Acted
Properly.
Waycros#, Ga., Aug. 1— State School
Commissioner G. R. Glenn was in Way
cross yesterday, and In company with
Ordinary Warren Lott, with reference to
the muddle over the Ware county school
comrri s.onership, he stated that he did
not consider any further investigation of
Mr. Sm'th s bco.ts neres ary.
He stated that the commissioner had
properly signed vouchers fjr eveiy dollar
he had paid out, and lor every dollar re
ceived as his sa ary; that he had render
ed hi; bill for every day allowed by law
and that the beard of education hod
g anted him that amount as his remuner
ation. according to his vouchers.
Mr. G enn contends that the Board of
Education that passed upon this matter
is just as much to blame as Commission
er Smith.
It will be remembered that the matter
was brought up by the grand jury at the
April term of Ware Superior Court, that
body demandirg an invest gation of Hon.
J. D. Smith’s books, and requesting his
resignation. A full Investigation of his
books by the Beard cf Ed
ucation, assisted by Hon. Warren
Lott failed to discover anything wrong.
The only question was the amount of Mr.
Smith’s remuneration, and he contended
then and does to-day that he is not will
ing to work for S3OO, the amount stipu
lated by the board this year.
Mr. Smith says he will tender his resig
nation to the board a< once, and it Is un
derstood that a number of applicants
will be before the board seeking the
place.

ITCH IS TORTURE.
Tic re me. is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
flammation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seetua to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

CURRENCY IN KENTUCKY.
Coon Skins for Drinks nnd Potatoes
to Pay the Fiddler.
Beaufort, S. C., July 33.—A commercial
traveler related the following interesting
story here to-day: "I was in the moun
tain districts of Kentucky early
last spring. I stopped one morn
ing at a small grocery store
and saloon to get a drink of the
mountain dew. While I was pouring out
my drink, a b’g. lanky mountaineer en
tered and trailed for a drink. As he fin
ished gulping it down he reached into a
large pocket and drew forth w-hai looked
to be a ’coon skin. He laid the skin on
the counter. The barkeeper took it. and,
opening a drawer, hauled out a rabbit
skin, which he tendered the mountaineer
as change. The latter picked up the skin
and started to the front part of the store,
which was the grocery department, where
he bought a twist of plug tobacco, tender
ing his rabbit skin in payment. He re
ceived a big twist of chewing tobacco, and
I was surprised to see the proprietor reach
in another drawer and tender him a squir
rel skin. The mountaineer tuefced his
squirrel skin In his pocket, walked out,
unhitched his horse and rode off.
"I became interested and engaged the
proprietor in conversation. He told me
that sometimes months would elapse with
out his ever once seeing any real money,
and that the mountaineers used the skins
in all kinds of trades, such as buying pro
visions, horses, etc. He said that four
times a year a hide buyer from Lexington
or Cincinnotl visited the section and
bought up all the skins, which were gen
erally concentrated in the few stores in
the vicinity.
"But of all the queer financial transac
tions I have ever known," continued the
drummer, "the oddest tame under the
head of paying the fiddler. It had been
noised abroad that a dance was to be giv
en a little way up the mountain, and 7
agreed to go along with one of the boys
to see the fun. After going through the
elaborate preparation of blacking his
bools and donning a white shirt and col
lar, I observed my companion go to the
potato bln and carefully selecting a dozen
choice potatoes, put them in his pocket.
No sooner had we arrived at the 'music
hall’ *han he gracefully surrendered his
vegetables for an entrance ticket. But
what puzzled me the most was that upon
coming out, after dancing all night, he
was given two onions as change. I have
been trying to make up my mind ever
slnc*e Just what that dance was worth
national currency.**

Columbia Drug Cos., Savannah, Ga.:
Gentlemen—lt gives me pleasure to
heartily recommend Infants’ Friend
Powder, and to give to you a singu
lar little coincident connected with it.
During the Cotton S4ates and In
ternational Exposition I was presen
ted with a little box of this powder,
and was so pleased with it that I
was exceedingly anxious to get more,
but on looking at the box I found
nothing but Savannah, Ga., no other
address. I have often wished I knew
where to get it. This morning's
mail brought your circular with en
closed sample I immediately re
ferred to ray box. and found It was
the Infants’ Friend Powder. It is
without doubt the best powder I have
ever used. Respectfully,
MRS. WM. KING.
