SUNDAY MORNING. CUTTING HIMSELF OFF. The Dlout Way In Which Chaplain Cannon Refused a Fortune. The Rev. Edward Cannon, a chap lain to Kin? George IV., was a dog gedly independent man. On one occa sion he refused to compliment his roy al master on his singing and for a time fell into disfavor.' His manner was high handed and not always too courteous, but his actions were always on the side of right and justice. The biography of his friend Barham, the author of the "Ingotdsby Legends,” contains, among other anecdotes of Cannon, the story of how he disinher ited himself. A silly old lady summoned him to her house and pretended to be declin ing in health. She told him she had made her will, by which the whole of a considerable fortune was to be left to him. ”1 don’t believe it,” said Cannon aft er a pause, in which he eyed her doubtfully. The lady assured him that the document was lying in a desk in the room. ”1 won’t believe it," persisted Cnn non, “unless I see it.” Smiling at his incredulity, she placed the will in his hands. Cannon read it. "Well,” he said deliberately, "if I had not seen it in your own hands, I could not have believed you were such an unnatural brute.” Thrusting the paper between the bars of the grate, he continued in a severe', low voice: "Have you no one more nearly connected with you than I—no one to whom your money should go, who has a right to be provided for first and best? Pooh! You don’t know how to make a will. I’ll send for a lawyer, and he shall make your will. You shall leave me a legacy. There’s no harm in that, hut Pm not take it uil to please you. ma'am!” HOUSES. The Simple Eriiiaiialtoii of a Very Ordlaary Phenomenon. An instance of nonfamiliarity with simple scientific facts Is illustrated by mi article that goes the rounds of the press once or twice annunlly—iiameiy, the story of the electrified house. The article usually states that someone has discovered that everything lie touches in his house —the radiators, picture frames. bunquet lamps, etc.— gives him an electric shock; hence he fears there is some connection between the arc light wires and the water pipes near his residence. The electric light inspector Is therefore summoned and reports that the wires of his company are intact and that the electricity must come from some other source. It does not dawn on any of the peo ple consulted that the discoverer of tlie phenomenon is unconsciously per forming one of the simplest and oldest of electrostatic experiments, the shuf fling of his shoes over the dry carpet raising the potential of his body to several thousand volts, which discharge at every opportunity. One may even get electric discharges from his knuc kles against the brass lock of a hand bag which lie may be carrying while walking on a stone pavement during cold, dry weather. But, dismissing newspaper science, it is somewhat astonishing, In view of the many ways in which In cold, dry countries electricity Is unintentionally developed and manifested by spark ing, that the first knowledge concern ing this phenomenon did not come to the ancients in this way rather than by the attraction of light substances by amber. The explanation of tills, however, may be that the scientists of bygone days did not reside In cold, dry countries.—Gassier’s Magazine. When to Knl’Frnlt. The question Is often asked, At wbat time of day should fruit be eaten? In tropical countries, where fruit is the chief article of food, the rule appears to be that the earlier in the day it is taken the better and the later the worse. In hot weather many wise people will eat none after noon, alleg ing that the digestion then declines In power with the decline of the day and the fruit, instead of digesting, decom- Iloses owing to the presence of the sac charine matter. The objection to fruit and certain kinds of vegetables late In the day, he the explanation tjbat It may. is certainly justified by an ample experience, though some persons can eat fruit at nil hours without feeling any inconvenience.—Table Talks. A. Plea For Courtenf. We have lost the old Bowery forms of politeness, and now we never waste "Thank you!” on a fellow creature who Is not of our own immediate circle.

Why should not the customer in the teashop or the custom er in the postofflee say "Please” when be gives his order and the other spare a "Thank you!” when he has paid his bill? It makes life run so much more easily.—Girl’s Realm. Not to Be Inspected. “Pshaw!” exclaimed the professor to the student who was rehearsing his Latin oration, “you are too solemn.

The most highly developed of ma chine tools is the automatic screw ma chine, and, like many another con trivance for saving labor, its home is New England. It is a development of the ordinary steel working lathe, the intermediate step being tlie monitor lathe, in which the various cutting tools protrude from the side of a steel turret like thirteen inch guns from a battleship turret. In tlie nonautomatic screw mnehiue the turret is revolved by tlie operator so ns to bring each tool Into play, just as tlie turret on the old Monitor was revolved to bring one gun after another into action. But in the automatiiN.machine the work is done Without human guidance. In making screws, nuts, bolts, studs and other small pieces that must be turned, drilled or threaded for watches, cloeks. typewriters, electrical instru ments and other mechanisms all the operator has to do is to feed the “stock”—a long, thin rod of steel or brass—to the machine. Tlie feeding mechanism carries the rod slowly for ward into the field of action. The tur ret advances and puts its first tool at work on the end of tlie rod. When this tool has done its task, the turret with draws it, turns and advances a second tool into action. Each cutting tool around the turret has its distinct work to perform—one cutting a thread, an other shaping a head, another putting on a point, another drilling a hole, still another putting on knurling. The tur ret automatically brings each of per haps six tools into action, and when the work is finished the completed screw drops into a pan. while the “stock” is automatically fed forward to begin the complex operation again. A stream of machine oil pours contin uously ou the work to carry away the heat, and the little metal cuttings col lect in a heap under the machine. Hour after hour this wonderful au tomaton goes through its cycle of oper ations, the turret clicking every mo ment as it brings anew tool forward. Small brass pieces, on which but one tool cuts, are dropped at the rate of four a second. Large screws of com plicated design upon which a whole turretful of tools must work are cut from a steel rod at the rate of one or two a minute. So perfectly are these screw machines constructed that an un skilled workman can operate a row of them. All he Is required to do is to keep them fed with “stock.” In some shops girls tend the machines.—Success. * ** Mixed Mein A German lady In a town in Ventura bounty had a daughter who was her mother’s pride. Tlie mamma hears somewhat of a reputation as a Mrs. Malaprop and is also a prosperous mer chant. On one occasion the daughter, who assists her mother in the store, was by dint of hard work among rela tives and friends chosen as queen of a street carnival to lie held in the town. Maternal pride ran riot in the elder woman’s breast. To a friend she burst forth In ecstatic strain: “Ob. mein Mollie! She vas so peau tiful as neffer vas!

Probably the oddest and most pre cious autograph album that has ever existed lies in an almost unknown cor ner of western New Mexico. More than two centuries before our Saxon forefathers penetrated the des ert of the southwest the Spanish pi oneers, wandering through those lone ly wilds, found a rock so noble and so remarkable, even in a country of won derful stone monuments, that they called it “El Morro” (The Castle). Wishing to leave some record for fu ture generations, they traced with the points of their swords their names up on its rough surface. Those names are there, with dates of their inscrip tion—in nearly every instance the early part of the seventeenth century. Promfwlnjyr.

A POPULAR DRUG STORE- J. E. Morgan’s Emporium is Rapidly Forging to the Front in This City Among the many enterprises re cently founded in this city, few of them have been quite as successful as has been the popular Morgan’s drug store, at the corner of Newcastle and Gloucester strets. The business was purchased from .1. H. Polhill by ,1. E. Morgan just about a month ago and since that time many notable improvements have been made, and Mr. Morgan will shortly greatly improve the interior of his store, and it will lie one of the prettiest in this seetion-of the state. Mr. Morgan makes it a point to keep in stock, at all times, a full line of pure, wholesome drugs, which are dispensed with the utmost care, and at prices sufficiently reasonable as is consistent with the purest articles and best service. He also carries a complete line of 'druggist’s specialties, such as toilet articles, combs, smokers’ supplies, etc. Mr. Morgan has been in the drug business all of his life and is thor oughly acquainted with every de partment of the business, which is i.ireedy under his personal supervis ion, ana is a guarantee that all bus iness entrusted to tne establishment will receive the very, best attention. Mr. Morgan extends a cordial invita tion to the general public to visit his hanusome store. He is now in cor respondence with several druggist and will shortly add an able assistant. A Fine Stock, Mr, and Mrs. M. Isaacs have return ed from New York and other points where they have been to purchase their fall and winter stock of dross goods.

From llay’* Enlowy on McKinley nnd IHninc'* Enlogy on CStirllcld. It is a curious coincidence that on Feb. 27, 1882, and on Feb. 27, 1902, a secretary of state of a murdered presi dent delivered a eulogy of his dead chief before the houses of congress. Mr. llav, primarily a writer, showed the essayist in his oration on McKin ley. Mr. Blatne, primarily a speaker, showed the orator in his oration on Garfield. Here is the peroration of Hay’s eulogy of McKinley: There ts not one of us but feels prouder of his native land because the august fig ure of Washington presided over its be ginnings; no one but vows it a tenderer love because Linqoln poured out bis blood for it; no one but must feel bis devotion for his country renewed and kindled when ho remembers how McKinley loved, re vered and served it. showed in his life how a citizen should live and in his last hour taught us how a gentleman could die. Blaine’s oration on Garfield ended with this famous passage: As the end drew near his early craving for the sea returned. The stately man sion of power had been to him tlie weari some hospital of pain, and he pegged to be taken from his prison walls/ from its oppressive, stifling air. from its home* lessnoss and its hopelessness. Gently, si lently. the love of a great people bore the pale sufferer to the longed for healing of the sea to live or to die. as God should will, within sight of the heaving billows, within sound of its manifold voices. With a wan, feveVed face, tenderly lifted to the cooling breeze, be looked out wistful ly upon the ocean's changing wonders, on its far sails, on its restless \ ives rolling shoreward to break and die '■ ueath the noonday sun; on the red cloi us of even ing. arching low to the hori >n; on the serene and shining pathway u the stars. Lot us think that his dying eyes read a mystic meaning which only the rapt and parting soul may know. Let us believe that In the silence of the receding world he heard the great waves breaking on a farther shore and felt already upon his wasted brow the breath of the wternal morning. THE PARADISE FISH. One of tlie Wonderful I’isrntorlnl ItnrltiCM Found In Chinn. The oddest of all piscatorial rarities is the paradise iisli of China. Like the German canary and one or two other species of bird and fish, tills little finny beauty is the product of cultivation only, there being no place in the world whore it is found In a wild slate. In the land of the dragon they are kept nnd cultivated In ornamental aquari ums, each succeeding generation of tlie little oddities exhibiting more diver sified colors. The male is the larger of the two sexes, measuring when full grown three and a half Inches. The body is shaped very much like that of a common pumpkin seed sunfish, its color surpassing In brilliancy any fish heretofore cultivated for the aquarium. The head of nmcropodus (that’s his generic mime) is ashy gray, mottled with irregular dark spots. The gills are uztiriuo blue, bordered with bril liant crimson. The eyes are yellow and red, with a black pupil. The sides of the body and the crescent shaped caudal fin are deep crimson, the former having from ten to twelve vertical blue stripes, while the latter Is bordered with blue. The upper surface of the body is continual ly changing color—sometimes it is white, at others gray, black or blue. Tlie dorsal and anal tins are remarka bly large, hence its generic name— macro, large; podus, fin or foot. Both fins are shaped alike and are striped with brown and bordered with a bright blue. The dull colored ventral fins are protected by a brilliant scarlet colored spine, extending three-fourths of nil inch behind tlie body of the tin, Tlie pectoral fins are well shaped, but trans parent and colorless. Mountl nur a Horse. A careful bicyclist learns to mount from either side of the wheel, since the emergency may arise at any moment, says the London Chronicle. One would think that the horseman would be equally careful to provide for possibil ities and accustom himself to mount ing Indifferently from the off side anil the near side. Hut if be were to ven ture to mount on the right side—which is the wrong side—in a hotel stable yard the hostler would probably de mand the price of a gallon as the statutory fine, and (he horse would eol ’ lapse with surprise.

The Well Known Dry Goods Man Has Purchased a Fine Line of Fall and Winter Goods. H. V. Adderly, the well known dry goods merchant, has just returned from the eastern markets, where he has been for a week or ten days for tlie purpose of purchasing his fall and winter stock. He was seen by a News representa tive yesterday and when questioned on the subject he said that he had purchased one of the handsomest line of goods in the market or that had even been displayed in this city. Mr. Adderly says that ail of the large houses of New York and Boston are very much crowded with orders, hut he hopes that his stock wil begiu to arrive in the course of the next ten days and he now figures on 'his fall opening for September 15. In this connection, Mr. Adderly is one of the oldest and most reliable merchants of the city and his annual openings are always looked upon as notable events among the ladies of the city and, in fact, everyone else in terested in the very latest novelties in the ury goods line. This year’s season promises to eclipse all others, not only in design and pattern, hut in the matter of va riety from which the customer may select, and last, hut by no means least in the unusually reasonable prices, which Mr. Adderly says will prevail at his store during the entire season.

"Every once in awhile one reads in the newspapers of the determination of someone of the high government officials to discover the source of ‘the leuk’ of a piece of news which it was not desired should be given out at that particular time,” remarked an old Washington correspondent, “and with out giving tlie solution to the secret escapes of public information, as they vary, I will tell you of one instance which serves to show how news ap pears in print in what is considered by all concerned to be a very mysterious manner. Like all mysteries, when un raveled it is wondered that it was not thought of before. My story Is en tirely a part of the secret sources of Information which all correspondents have more or less at their disposal and which often comes from the out side and not from the inside of the departments. “Some time ago—the precise time Is not essential to the story—a very im portant public matter was up for de termination by the president. All of the larger metropolitan dailies were particularly interested, ns it did not have to do especially with Washing ton, and the entire correspondents’ world at the capital was on tho qul vlve to ‘get it,’ including myself. All channels which were usually tapped by tlie Initiated were found to be as barren as a desert stream in midsum mer. Telegrams from the home offices poured into our various bureaus here couched in imperative language that the news ‘must’ be obtained, evidently in the belief that all correspondents have to do is to go out, ask officials for the desired information and re ceive it, coupled with a good cigar nnd a bottle of wine. Asa matter of fact, when officials wish to keep secret a piece of information, all possible loop holes of escape are securely padlocked, and It is the exception that it gets out. “I hnd about given up hope of secur ing a ‘beat’ in this particular instance, though I was, of course, ns vigilant ns ever. The time for the maturing of the project was close at hand, and any day it might by official announcement be come public property. One night as I was sitting idly in the lobby of an up town hotel, half dozing in my chair, waiting for the appearance of a senator with whom I had an appointment on an inconsequential matter, I overheard one of two gentlemen who were sitting be hind me drop the words ‘the president’ The high backs of our chairs nearly touched, and by instinct my drowsy senses became clear and 1 woke up. “ ‘The president.' remarked one of the gentlemen, ‘said that it was his inten tion to adopt that course irrespective of the consequences either to himself or the party.’ “ ‘But you pointed out to him what it meant to us—that lie was clearly in er ror?’ replied tlie other gentleman. “ ‘Elaborately,’ responded the first speaker, ‘but the president said that he was convinced that accruing results would prove that we, and not he, were in error.’ “ ‘Then fte may as well go back to New York tomorrow,’ was tlie answer, nml both gentlemen arose and walked toward the cafe, apparently in a very despondent frame of mind. “I was an involuntary listener to this scrap of conversation, In which, it will be observed, not a single word was dropped as to the subject matter there of. 1 at once jumped to the conclusion that the government, through the presi dent’s action, intended to take the af firmative of the proposition, tho news side of which the correspondents had so long and earnestly endeavored to ascertain. With a straight tip as to tho course of the government the corre spondent could do the rest, while with the wrong tip he could not only make his paper ridiculous, but would In all probability lose tils position; hence the care in making a scare head, page wide story. “In the furtherance of my conclusion my paper had the ‘bent’ of the season the following morning, ns I stated the facts ns though they came from official sources, ns, indeed, such I considered them. To my mind, as a correspondent, it was as clear as if the president him self had given me the information. Two days after a member of the cabinet gave out officially wbat I bad wired over and with it the announcement that the ‘leak’ had occasioned much ‘annoy ance, and its source would be investi gated thoroughly.’ It is here glveu cor rectly for the first time.”—Washington Star.
