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 ground him for a full minute. Ev rybody 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.

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. Savannah Almanac.

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.

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.** The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. Woman’s Department. Mrs. Wtn.

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. TELEGRAPHIC MARKETS.
