Stanton wrote in yester day's Atlanta Constitution: "At an auction sale in Cleveland, Ohio, the poems of Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Edgar Fawcett, Clinton Scol lard, Oliver Wendell Holmes and his aunt, Mary J. Holmes, brought col lectively the handsome sum of 25 cents. The poet, S. E. Kiser, interviewed the purchaser, saying that lie was jrlad that there was one man in the crowd who appreciated literature. But the latter coolly informed him that he had merely bought the books because they were cheaper than coal ! And this, too, in the home town of Marcus A. Hanna, the man of such irreproachable taste, political and otherwise. Could this have been Mar cus A. himself? Did he fear that so many warm poems thrown upon the world for a song would injure the coal market? Is not this another proof of the far-seeing sagacity that marks Mark as the fittest man to scotch for the McKinlev wave when it shows retrogressive tendencies ? By all the tokens it should be Mark. It is impossible to think of him as esti mating poetry in any other fashion than by the pound. He is also the only man one could call to mind who would be proud of that fact. Mark, let it be. A San Franciseo dispatch of yester day says: "Charles W. Richards, a 'mechani cal expert of Cleves.Ohio, has arrived from Japan, where he has been super intending the construction of a wire nail plant costing $250,000 at Tokio. The capacity of the works is 500 kegs of nails and 1,000 wooden kegs daily. "As skilled labor in Japan is paid but 35 cents a day as against $1.50 in this country, the output of the factory will cause a corresponding reduction in the demand for the American pro duct." This is another indication that in the commercial even more than in the political world Japan is a force that must be reckoned with hereafter. The Jap is quickemulative, inventive and industrious and will hardly be slower to adopt western business methods than he was western dress, arms and political and social economy. The world will do well to keep its eyes on Japan. It is not exactly proper to find fault with gifts, but it is hard not ask if the weather bureau really did the best it could. There is a tinge of sour grapes about English assurances that after all Kiao Chou Bay is almost worthless as a harbor. Phillip D. Armour is taking stock in a phonograph factory. Phillip D. is becoming too n sthetic for pork, and wheat is not in hU line. ... t As Smithers ascended the steps ho caught sight of Brown around the corner. Atlanta Constitution. Ah, indeed, and we're Smithers' eyes set on the end of flexible stalks? Although Explorers Peary and Jackson have formed identical plans for reaching the north pole, it is to be hoped they will not simultaneously intrude on the privacy of that exclu sive staff. The "Way in -. which warships are being sent to China, Haytl and other places indicates a belated intention on the part of this government to re gain some of the respect of the world lost by its supineness in the Cuban disgrace. A FIREflAN'S SELF-SACRIFICE. An Incident of the Holidays in New York. ' New York, Dec. 25. Jas. F. Colman an engine driver in the fire depart ment, sacrificed his own life today, rather than run down a woman and a. little girl, who were transfixed with fright and were unable to get out of his way. Colman, to avoid hitting them, gave the engine a sharp turn, and it toppled over with the driver be neath it, killing him almost instantly. The child was carrying a Christmas doll and Colman had just reported for duty after having been present at the Christmas celebration of his own chil dren. HE DEMANDS HIS MERMAID. St. Louis, Dec. 26. Sergeant King, of the Fourth district police station, was startled this afternoon by an ex cited young man who rushed into his office and demanded to see his mer maid. A moment later a sobbing woman entered and explained that the young man, her son, was demented. She said he had become crazed at the Olympic Theater two weeks ago while watching the presentation of "The Whirl of the Town." The plot of the play is based on the adventures of a mermaid. Since then the young man has been constantly seeking a mermaid , and his family locked him up, but he escaped today. His mother took him home and declined to give her name. LOWER WAQES. Decision to Cut Down the Pay of 15, 000 Operators January 17. Lowell. Mass.. Dec. 25. The treas urers of the Lowell cotton mills, at a meeting, voted to reduce the wages of their employees on and after January 17th. The causes of the reduction are the same as those which led the manufac turers in Manchester, Suncook, N. H., and other places to lower the wage .scale. About 15,000 operatives in this city will be effected. The mills in this city include the Treraont and Suffolk; Boott, Merri mac, Massachusetts, Hamilton, Apple ton and Lawrence. The mill men say they regret being obliged to cut wages, but they say there was no other course in view of the prevailing conditions. A meeting of the operatives will be held to consider the cut, but it is not expected that any action looking to ward a strike will be taken. The Superior Court declares that the law requiring all practicing physi cians to stand an examination and have license is constitutional and just. Free Pills. Send your address to H. E.
