w*as all right for a man to open a jack

Mr. Andrew Carnegie thinks it may yet
become necessary for the United States
to stolid between England and the other
countries of Europe for the protection
of the former. In commercialism the
United States will be able to beat the
"mother country,” but when the other
Euroiwan Powers try to oppress and de
stroy that ”mother,” the offspring will
step in and say, “Hands ofTI” And yet
it was only a little more than a hundred
years ago that Mother Britannia tried to
coerce her big boy and then to spank
him.
There Is likely to lie trouble In Calca

has never been questioned, and would
probably never be questioned except un
der extraordinary circumstances. But
extraordinary circumstances now exist

There Is no room for misunderstanding
the charge which Judge Falllgant deliver
ed to the grand jury on Tuesday. It was
a blow, straight from the shoulder, at cer
tain evils which have long irritated this
community. The Judge was particularly
severe on liquor selling on Sundays, gamb
ling and the bribing of voters. He gave
particular attention to policy gambling,
the most harmful of the different kinds of
public gambling with which this city is af
flicted. It Is a species of gambling that
takes bread out of the mouths of the
wives and children of the very poor—that
absorbs the earnings of the lowest class
of wage-workers. It is doubtful if it is
tolerated in any other city In the country,
and the wonder is that it has been toler
ated so "long here.
While Judge Falllgant did not make any
statement as to what punishment he
would mete out to violators of the law
against selling intoxicants on
vote-buying and gambling there was no
mistaking his meaning. He has given
warnings enough against these classes of
offenders and he will now proceed to make
them understand that he Intends that the
laws shall be respected. In doing this he
will have the approval of the great ma
jority of the community.
Thousands and tens of thousands of dol
lars are annually taken from the slender
means of those who need every dollar they
get for their families by a few who con
tribute nothing towards the up-bullding of
the city or to the support of any enter
prise that helps to give employment to the
laboring classes. They have nothing at
stake In the city and are ready to leave it
whenever authorities enforce the laws
so *vigorously that It Is no longer profit
able for them to remain.
Of all of the kinds of gambling com
plained of policy gambling causes the most
irritation. It is carried on in many parts
of the city, and the policy writing is done
so openly that persons passing along the
main streets can see crowds of negroes at
the offices of the policy writers in the
lanes. This kind of gambling is so general
among the servant class that employers
hesitate to trust their servants with
money to go to market or to make pur
chases at the stores. Strange as it may
seem, the policy writers are seldom mo
lested by the officers of the law, although
If a fakir should attempt to run a gam
bling game of any kind on the street he
would be arrested at once.
The grand Jury may have some difficulty
in getting evidence on which to base in
dictments, but the indications are that it
will have assistance. With the feeling
there Is now in the community, and the
certainty that there will be no leniency in
dealing with offenders, it may be safely
assumed that the most flagrant phases ol
the evils complained of will be checked at
once, and the evils themselves may even
tually be eradicated. One thing Is certain,
and that is that the couft and the law and
order people are in closer touch than ever
before. The court sees the need of more
vigorous efforts in the direction of reform
and the people are ready to assist.
Ol I’LOOK FOll THE PEACH CROP.
A day or two ago we published a long
dispatch from Fort Valley, the center of
tbe peach section of the state, in which
was given a review of the prospects of
the peach crop. The crop, from present
indications, will not be a large one. but
there is no doubt that the peaches will
be of a superior quality. They will be
targe, and, It Is believed, of fine flavor.
The Teason they will be large is that the
trees are not overloaded.
When the trees contain more peaches
than can mature properly, there is al
ways a large percentage of inferior fruit,
and there Is a temptation to mix the In
ferior with the beat grade, with the hope
'that it will he nceepted, at the price com
manded by the best fruit. It never is
so accepted, and the consequence is that
fruit growers are disappointed'.
Notwithstanding the increase in the
number of bearing trees the output of
the orchards will be smaller than It hus
been in some other years, but it Is ex
pected that the crop will bring more
money than an exceptionally large crop
would, for two reasons. First because
the markets are not likely to be glutted
and, second, because the peachee tvlll he
large, fine and will present a very at
tractive crppen ranee. In our dispatch there
were given some figures as to the number
of carloads that would likely be shipped
from the state, but it is evident that ce
llmates at this time cannot be relied upon.
The trees are pretty well fillet/ now.
but there are Indications that they will
lose a very considerable pert of their bur
den during the present month. The
weather from now until the time for
picking the main part of the crop ar
rives will have much to do with the size
of the crop.
The fruit industry of the state has
reached very large proportions, and yet
there are those who believe that it is
only in Its infancy. There is an im
mense area that is well adapted to
peaches, plums and other fruits, and it
la being planted In orchards very rapid
ly. A great deal of the land that is now
yielding large returns to Its owners was
thought to tie worth very little before Its
value for peach growing was understood.
Band tvhich ten years ago could be had
for $2 and 12.50 per acre, cannot lie
bought now for less than SSO. and in some
lnstancea SIOO per acre.
The peach industry is not thoroughly
syet(-mixed yet. It Is only a question of
a few years when there will be superb
faoUities for drying peaches and for can
ning peaches, plums and other fruits in
ail parts of the state where the fruits
can be grown with success. There arc
canneries now in some localities, hut
there yet remains much to be done in this
direction. Oeorgla I* diversifying her In

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE <5, 1901.
THE WITH CAROLINA COMEDY.
The Tillman-McLaurin-McSweeney cor
respondence has some amusing features.
It is evident now that there is not going
to be e primary election in South Carolina
this year, and it is equally certain that
Senators Tillman and McLaurin are not
going to give up their seats in the Senate,
We were inclined to believe Gov. Mc-
Sweeney was acting in harmony with
Senator Tillman in refusing to accept the
resignations of the senators, but subse
quent developments seem to indicate that
he is simply acting in accordance with
his own Judgment.
His letter to Senator Tillman, in reply
to Bhe latter’s criticism of his action. In
refusing to accept the resignations of the
senators, Is calculated to increase what
ever strength he has with the people.
He tells Senator Tillman that he does
not think it is for the best Interests of
the people to have a primary this sum
mer, and that he is clothed with author
ity to say whether there shall be a pri
mary or not. He also says that the state
constitution makes the office of senator
more nearly akin to a state office than it
is in any other state, and that therefore
he is right In refusing to accept a resig
nation with a string attached to it. He
tells the senator, however, 'that if he
wants to resign to send in his
t:on, and that it will be accepted, but
that there will be no election to fill the
vacancy this summer—that he will fill the
vacancy by appointment.
Senator Tillmau isn't going to send In
any such resignation as that. He has too
high an appreciation of the place he
holds. If he Should remain out of it for
a year he might not find it so easy a
matter to get It again. As against Mc-
Laurin he would no doubt be re-elected,
but if the Governor should appoint a
popular Democrat, who would hold the
office a year, he might find the people
willing for him to remain at home.
There will no doubt be considerable
more correspondence. Senator Tillman
has not yet said all he hes to say. And
it is probable that Senator McLaurin will
keep on writing letters for a while longer.
In his last letter he tries to make the
people of his state understand that he
is the simon-pure, Jeffersonian Democrat,
and that Mr. Bryan and Senator Tillman
are Populists. He goes so far back for
authority for his claim that it is prob
able that most of the Democrats of South
Carolina will fail to follow him. They will
prefer to accept the party's last official
utterance as the standard by which to
measure one's democracy.
No doubt the Democrats of South Caro
lina are having some amusement out of
the political situation in that state. That
is better than having a red-hot political
campaign in the midst of summer. Prob
ably even Senator Tlllnrtn’s admirers are
not sympathizing with him in the defeat
of his efforts to liavp a summer cam
paign.
THE GEORGIA BAR ASSOCIATION,
The meeting of tihe Georgia Bar Asso
ciation will be at Warm Springs, begin
ning July 3, and continuing three days.
The meetings of this association are al
ways full of interest, and the one tills
year, it is safe to say, will be no excep
tion to the rule.
The association has been organized sev
enteen yebrs and has made a record of
which it lias good reason to be proud. The
reforms which it has been instrumental
In bringing about have been important
ones—so important as to command very
general approval. Among them may be
mentioned the uniting In one tribunal
both equity and common law, and the
doing away with the costly and cumbtr
some equity practice, the increase in the
number of the Justices of the Supreme
Court and the consequent greater useful
ness of that body, the substitution of the
present method of admission to the ba
after a thorough examination by a Hoard
of Examiners under very stringent rules
for the old time farce of examination un
der direction of the judges of the .Superior
Court.
The programme for the meeting this
year gives promise of an inte-estlng and
helpful session. Mr. Lucius Lamar, who
makes tihe address, is a niatlve Gcorgl in,
and because of his acquaintance with he
Spanish-American people, acquired during
his residence in Mexico, and his position
as counsel to Gov. Wood at Havana, is
peculiarly well fitted to dlscuse ihe sub
ject which he ha* chosen, namely, "The
Development and Present Status of the
Law in Cuba." There is every reason for
thinking that the meeting will be a pleas
ant and profitable one. It is certainly the
very general desire that it shall be.
It is a remarkable coincidence that the
Shamrock and the Constitution, challen
ger for and defender of the America's
cup, should have suffered similar acci
dents in the collapse of their masts. It
is well, however, that the weakness of
the masts was discovered before the
races, otherwise the contest might have
been marred by a break-down at a crit
ical moment. The accidents may have a
tendency to shake faith in the efficiency
of steel tube* a* a substitute for gool.
strong spruce In the sparring of racing
craft, still it Is not likely that hollow
steel will bn abandoned at this stage
of ths game in the forthcoming race*.
Sir Thomas Llpton is having anew steel
mast made for the Shamrock, and the
builder* of the Constitution already have
anew steel mast for that vessel nearly
completed. Mr. Lawson's boat, too, I*
a steel-master. The contest between the
Lawson boat and the New York Yacht
Club boat win be delayed a few days by
the accident to the Constitution, but the
big race will probably not be interfered
with, since repairs to the New York boat
can be made within the extension of
time asked for by Sir Thomas.
The statement was made In the House
of Common* the other day that the Brit*
Ish government's control and manage
ment of the telegraph result in a toss of
£708,000 annually. Since the government's
option began the loss has been 18,300,000.
The heavy deficiency hi accounted for by
the fact that the public demand for tele
graphic extension ha* in the main been
acceded to, whether ths revsnues war
ranted it or not. The San Francisco
Chronicle regards this showing in the
United Kingdom as fatal to the theory
of government ownership of telegraphs.
"If the British government cannot de
velop and maintain a telegraph system In
the limited area of the British Is.es with,
out loss," It says, "the experiment would
certainly be hopeless in the United Mats*,
where the territory Is so eatsnalva add
Abe distances a.* so great.”
And now Prof. Herron, the man with
the fast-and-loose ideas respecting matri
mony, declares himself to be a sort of
new prophet, Mith a mission. Isn’t
the country becoming rather overbur
dened with these new prophets? There is
Dowle in Chicago, who claims to be a re
incarnation of Elijah and says he hag
come to revolutionize the world, and Mrs.
Mary Barker G. Eddy of Massachusetts,
the prophet and founder of anew •’re
ligion," and Cyrus Teed of Illinois, who
teaches that the world Is hollow and we
are living on the Inside of it, and has
a peculiar theology of (bis own upon
which lie has established a “church. ’’
There are other of these “prophets,” but
It isn’t necessary to name them. The
Chances are that most of them are out
for the “profits.” Meanwhile thousands of
persons are being induced to follow
them, at the risk of their bodies and pos
sibly of their souls also.
It Is not in the least likely that the
United States will agree to the Russian
proposition respecting the Chinese indem
nity, that all of the Powers unite in giv
ing a joint endorsement or guaranty of
China’s bonds. The United States have
less reason for guaranteeing the bonds
than any of the other Powers. Their in
demnity claim is the smallest of the great
Powers; besides which their credit is the
best. United States 2 per cent, bonds
are at a premium, while Russian govern
ment 4 per cent, bonds are below par,
and the bonds of other European govern
ments are less desired by purchasers than
those of the United States. Manifestly,
therefore, it would be a poor financial
transaction for the United' States gov
ernment to lend Us good credit to an
endorsement with others whose credit
was not as high.
PERSONAL.
-—Undoubtedly one of the richest mem
bers of King Edward’s government is
the Earl of Cadogan, who on May 12
reached his 61st year. To him belongs
most of Chelsea, and though It is not
generally known Viscount Chelsea is
among his titles, which also includes
that of Baron Oakley. Rumors have
been rife that a dukedom is in store for
the Earl as a mark of favor for the way
In which he has carried on the duties of
lord lieutenant of Ireland.
—As long as the history of brave deeds
endures the name of Florence Nightingale
rvi.l live. The work that noble woman
did in the trenches during the Crimean
war saved lives which must have been
otherwise lost, and started the care for
the sick and wounded which has since
characterized all campaigns. When a
testimonial of $260,000 was presented to
her he devoted it to the founding of
the Nightingale Home for the Training
of Nurses. Her eighty-first birthday oc
curred on May 15.
—The two surviving daughters of Dr.
Livingstone the other day opened the ex
tension of Livingstone College, at Leyton,
F.ng., founded about eight years ago for
training in medicine and surgery mission
aries about to depart for far away sta
tions where they would be called upon to
play the part of doctor as often as that of
priest. It was because Livingstone him
self was such a noble example of the
medically trained missionary that the fine
college at Leyton was erected to his
memory.

CL BRENT COMMENT.
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.l says:
"World powers do not fight each other
over matters of sentiment. Whatever
may be the final outcome of the present
rage for conquest, there will be no strife
while It is possible to negotiate and to
trade. Ths Monroe doctrine is the thing
which the America* empire will have to
trade and that it will be so utilised by
the Imperialist!* on occasion need not be
doubted. The Monroe doctrine breathed
the spirit of American democracy, of
American love of liberty, of American
youth and innocence. It was audacious,
but It was splendid. It was a high and
noble Idea, a magnificent challenge by
the youngest and most chivalrous and
best of nations to the oldest and worst
form of human government. It can hard
ly be defended very strenuously by a re
public which has entered the very lists
to which this glorious sentiment was
thrown as a gage of battle."
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says;
"Chief Justice Fuller has been favorably
mentioned as a suitable Democratic nom
ine** for the presidency. He would have
had a stronger claim upon the admiration
of his party If with the weight of author
ity and arguments In his favor he had
been able to carry n majority of the Jus
tice* of the Supreme Court with him on
the derision of the Ineulnr case*. But
even then the place he holds would have
been the place for him to stay In. The
Supreme Court is not a proper hatching
place for Presidents.”
The Jacksonville Tlmes-Unlon and Clt
isen (Dem.) says: "Mr. Beveridge is ex
ported to bring hack from Europe com
mercial reports which will be very valu
able to hi* brother Senator*. But If we
may Judge by his experience* In tire Phil

One Eye at a Time,
“What is the matter with your eye?”
asked an elderly lady of a younger gen
tleman whom she met on a Sixth avenue
elevated train last Friday, according to
the New York Herald.
"Nothing.”
"Then why are you wearing a green
patch over it?"
“Just to rest it. The other eye is on
duty now. The fact is I have made quite
a discovery ond am acting on it."
"It is a simple matter,” continued the
man. as he folded his morning paper and
took Che patch oft his eye. “There is no
more reason why we should always use
both eyes at the same time than there
is why we should always use both hands
at the same time. Some persons get
along very well wlrh one hand, and even
better with one eye. Then why shouldn’t
we be able to rest one eye while the other
is at work? There is no reason. It is
a mere matter of educating your eyes to
work independently and relieve each
other.
“I once had my right arm in a sling—
because I Wouldn't help it—and made the
left do all the work for five weeks. Now
1 voluntarily do the same thing with my
eyes. I have been at it only seven weeks,
and now they are well trained. It was
difficult at first, for they had worked so
long double that it was hard for them
to work singly.
"The one that was covered struggled
and got tired in trying to hely the other
one, and the other wasn’t able to see
clearly without his mate.
“They soon learned the trick. Now I
can read as well with one eye as with
the other, and apparently as well with
one as with both. To-day my left eye
has to do the work, and the right one
will have a good rest and be able to take
Us turn to-morrow. In this manner I
keep both of them in good condition. I
don’t keep one eye covered all of the
time, but only when close application is
required.’’
" resting With Out Advantages.
Saidi a, Sacramento pastor to me the
other day, as we sat on. the platform to
gether at a Christian Endeavor meeting,
writes Rev. F. E. Clark in the Christian
Endeavor World: “Other parts of the
country have to wristle with three things,
the world, the flesh, and' the devil, in
California we have to wrestle with four
ths world, the flesh, the devil, and the
climate.”
He meant that their climate was so al
luring, so delicious, that it tempted peo
ple to s't’iy out of doors, neglect the
church ond the Christian Endeavor meet
ings, and difficult religious work.
That remark started a train of thought
as on a traio of cars crawling up the
foot-hills of Mt. Shasta, on my way to
Oregon, I pondered It and wrote.
We all have to struggle with our ad
vantaegs quite as much as with our dis
advantages, with our gifts quite as much
as with our defects.

TUc Humor of Books,
It does not lessen the dignity of Phil
lips Brooks' memory to learn from his
biographer, Alexander V. G. Allen of
Cambridge, that he had an abounding
sense of humor—humor that crops out in
a fund of anecdote, says the Youth's
Companion.
To the person who wondered at the
rfssibility of the whale’s swallowing
Jonah, he said: “There was no difficulty.
Jonah was one of the minor prophets.”
Contrasting the ancient church with the
modern, he remarked that the early de
vout tried to save theit young men from
being thrown to the lions. "Now,” he add
ed. “we are glad if we can save them from
going to the dogs.”
A clergyman gtolng abroad talked in
jest of bringing back anew religion with
him.
“You might have some trouble in get
ting it through the custom house," some
one remarked.
“No,” observed Bishop Brooks, "we may
take it for granted that anew Religion
would have no duties attached.”
A person, for the sake, no doubt, of
argument, once drew attention to the
fact that some men, calling themselves
atheists, seemed to lead moral lives, and
Brooks promptly disposed of it.
“They have to,” said he. "They have
no God to forgive them if they don't.”
Caught the Lawyer’s Meaning.
A well-known Pacific coast attorney,
who prides himself upon his handling of
Chinese witnesses, was defending a rail
way damage case, says Stray Stories. The
lawyer is a bit near-sighted, so failed to
note when a Chinaman came upon the
stand that the witness's clothing was of
finer texture than the ordinary coolie.
Instead of following the usual questions
as to name, residence, if the nature of an
onth were understood, etc., the following
dialogue ensued:
“What is your name?"
“Kee Lung."
“You live in San Francisco?'*
“Yes.”
“You sabe God?"
"Mr. Attorney, if you mean 'Do I un
derstand the entity of our Creator?’ I will
simply say that Thursday evening next I
shall addTcss the State Ministerial Asso
ciation on the subject of 'The Divinity of
Christ,’ and shall be pleased to nave you
attend."
When order was restored the examina
tion proceeded on ordinary lines, but to
the day of Ills death the lawyer will never
cease to be asked if he “sabe God.”

A certain carelessness about proper
names Is a common quality with aristoc
racy and royalty, anld this is said to be
borne out by a story going the rounds
about His Majesty, the King of Great
Britain, relate* a Glasgow newspaper.
Some weeks ago he pointed out a picture
to one of the royol household, and #ild:
"1 have promised to send that picture
to Moscow; see that It goes.”
"To Moscow. Your Majesty?" said the
gentleman addressed.
"Yes. Moscow," said the King; "there's
an exhibition, or something of that sort,
on there Just now."
“Moscow! Your Majesty,” sold the offi
cial again. ‘‘There's no exhibition at
Moscow. Your Majesty perhaps means
Glasgow.” •
"Ah! Glasgow. Is It?” said Edward VII.,
reflectively; "1 dare say it Is. Anyway,
see that the picture is vent.”

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
—The Duchess of Cleveland, the mother
of Lord Rosebery, whose “Roll of Battle
Abbey,” published in three volumes, occu
pied her for many years, was very fond
of the historic pile. The story Is told that
she was one day at the house of an Amer
ican millionaire, who. pointing to his pala
tial staircase, remarked; ’T venture to
think, your grace, that even Battle Ab
bey cannot show a finer staircase than
this." “Oh, no," answered the Duchess
of Cleveland, “the Battle Abbey stairs
are very shabby. You see, those old Cru
saders wore them out so dreadfully.”
—“As for me,” says M. Flammarlon,
speaking of the Inhabitants of Mars in
the National Magazine, “I rather envy
them.. A world where it is always beau
tiful, where there are neither tempests
nor cyclones, where the years are twice
as long as ours, where the kilogram is
of 376 grams, and where, therefore, men
and women who here weigh seventy kilos
there weigh only twenty-six, and where,
in a word, everything is lighter, more del
icate and more refined.” And in another
place he goes further,pointing out that if
the Martians wished to communicate with
us they would doubtless have made the
effort many times in the past, and prob
ably long ago abandoned It, deciding it
a hopeless business to attempt communi
cation with a planet so stupid.
—"Here Is a curious thing that fishes do
and one that oeems clearly to show great
intelligence,” said an old fisherman, ac
cording to the New York Sun. “It might
be that two fishes some feet apart saw
the same, object of prey, maybe a smaller
fish, at the same Instant and they might
both dart for it at once and become vio
lently into collision while their prey es
caped. Now that would be when they had
each the same chance of capturing what
they wanted: often have I seen something
very different happen. Of two larger
fishes following along side by side and
pretty well closed up together pursuing
the minnow, I have seen the rearmost
shear off, and let the other fellow have it;
apparently, either because be knew he
couldn’t reach it, and there was no use
of his trying any more, or because he
knew that if he kept on and mixed in he
would make the fish ahead lose the game,
as well as himself. This last would seem
to Indicate, besides intelligence, unselfish
ness on the part of fish No. 2; but the
act(on of sheering off when he saw he
couldn't get it, showed intelligence, any
how.”
—The saying <hat an enterprise has “all
ended in smoke” does not have’ the sig
nificance that it did before a way was
found to materialize that airy product
Into substances as tangible as oils, acids,
spirits and tar, writes Prof. Caldwell
Johnson, says the Washington Star. A
single blast furnace In a Western state
has been able to realize enough from this
source to pay a large share of its run
ning expenses. It has demonstrated that
each cord of wood contains 28,000 cubic
feet of smoke, and that 2,800,000 feet of
smoke will produce 12,000 pounds of ace
tate of lime and 200 gallons of alcohol and
25 pounds of tar. Smoke from the fac
tory chimneys is largely carbon in an
other form, and in the course of a few
years we may expect to see some diminu
tion of the smoke nuisance so prevalent
in large cities, not from the vigilance of
the sanitary inspectors, but because con
sumers are beginning to learn that in
stead of allowing the particles of carbon
to escape with the other products, so
helping to poison themselves and their
neighbors they might have lighter coal
bills to pay by burning up these parti
cles.
—Christiania, Norway, boasts the best
arrenged and beet-managed model cheap
restaurants in the world, says the Phila
delphia Inquirer. There are two grades
of dinners; one at 13 cents for those who
sit in, the hall, and at 11 cents for those
who carry the food home, and the other
at 6 cents. if eaten in the hall or 8 cents,
if carried away. The menu includes soup,
meat, potatoes and bread. The portions
are generous and the food excellent in
quality and well cooked. The dining-rooms
are light, and, clean, with well-scrubbed
floors and tables. Those customers who
save a penny by taking the food home
provides their own dishes and baskets,
and watt in lines at the counter, while
two men supply their wants ae quickly as
long practice and dexterity make possible.
One of the ways In which the kitchen
has been of inestimable value is in crowd
ing out the poorer class of cheap restau
rants, which offered wretched food at a
seemingly low price, but at a price in
reality far too high for the quality of the
material. Side branches of the steam
kitchen make and sell all kinds of force
meats, sausages, preserved fruits and
fruit juices. The prices are In all cases
very moderate and the quality excellent.
—Late English newspapers publish in
teresting statistics of the fisheries of the
United Kingdom. The increase of the in
dustry during the past eight years has
been very notable; the value of the fish
landed at the ports during last year foot
ing up to over nine and a half million
pounds sterling, as compared with less
than seven millions in 1882. The increase
is said to be due to the expansion of
steam trawling, but there is a note of
warning sounded in connection with the
development. Competent authorities are
beginning to express fears that If the
fishing of the North sea is not conduct
ed on more scientific principles than at
present, the spawning grounds wtl) be
ultimately ruined. There has been a not
able rise in the value of the fish landed
at the ports of England and Wale*. Last
year, for instance, there were actually
5.000 fewer cwts landed than in the pre
ceding twelve months, but the total value
Was i(>,382,000, os against 46,726,000. Grims
by still maintains its position as the pre
mier fishing port of England, the value
of the 107,478 tons of fish landed there
last year being no less than £1,979,578. Hull
is second, and it Is claimed that last year's
operations were the most successful in
the history of the port.
—Mistakes do not always turn out to
work to the detriment of those who make
them; sometimes they are golden and put
a pretty penny in the pocket of the blun
derers, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
When Orme won the Eclipse stakes at
Sandown eight years ago the Prince of
Wales sent his friend Mr. Courthope to
lay a bet on a horse called Orvleto. But
Mr. Courthope misunderstood the name
and placed the Prince's money on Orme.
When Orme came in a good winner the
Prince thought. Of course, that he. had
lost, instead of which he had won $60,000.
A lucky mistake was that which resulted
in the opening of the famous Nlersfontein
gold mine in South Africa and the mak
ing of $80,000,000. It was an error that
saved a score of people from ruin and
made wealthy many of them, for the orig
inal intention of twenty poor men who
were seeking fortune was to buy n mine
called the Rensnek farm. The prospectors
who examined this farm found that It
gave great promise of a rich mine, and
they commissioned an agent to buy It for
$6,000. The agent, however, got mixed and
made a hopeless blunder through not
knowing his district well. He bought an
other place, called Nlersfontein, for the
prospectors and the money was paid over
bfore the dismayed gold-seekers found
they were let in for a place they did not
want. They refused to accept the deal.but
the money had been paid and retraction
was Impossible. Woret of ail. some out
vlde people profited by the error and snap
ped up the coveted Rensnek. Before go
ing to law to repudiate the transaction
the little company had a, look at the de
spised Nlersfontein place and, on giving
trial to It. they found It worth while to
hang on. The other place—the Rensnek—
gave out within a fortnight and ruined
the company which had bought it. while
