Cdntpon Abolition Decreased Arrest
Chicago, May 7. The committee of
ministers which recently investigated
cbnrges that abolition of the canteen
at Fort Sheridan had resulted In In
creased drunkenness among the sol
diers made Its report yesterday. The
report embodied statements by many
people living la High wood and other
places near the fort, ana showed that
the charges of greater disorder were
untrue. For the three menths preced
ing the abolition of the canteen the
percentage of arrests was S.2 and for
the three months following 4.9.

How Major Wharton Let Go
By M Quad.
(From the Kstlnnul MsgsIn, by l'lTlnlnMun.)
MA.TOK WHARTON was not a bad
man. He sat down in his office
oue day with his feet on his desk and
figured it out that he wasn't. He
couldn't remember one single instance
In bis business career where be had
been guilty of downright deception or
swindling. On the contrary, as affairs
passed in review, he could recall a doz
en instances where the other man had
got the better of him by unfair menus.
The trouble with him was too much
truth and honesty. The man who did
business with such principles to guide
him was sure to get left. He had been
left. Instead of getting ahead like
other dealers nnd speculators in kis
lines, he had been growing poorer for
several years. Of course he had the
consolation of his principles all the
time, and, while that was worth some
thing, it was not cold cash to satisfy
his creditors. Yes. he had been truth
ful nnd honest nnd square, and the
world had thrown him down. It was
high time that lie changed. He would
become a liar and a fraud. The world
hnd driven him into it, nnd now the
world must take the consequences.
.The major s plan to become a bad
man was nt first vague nnd unsettled,
but as he clung to the idea the details
began to work themselves out in his
brain. There was the "Paradise" mine.
He had bought nnd sold that mine
three or four times over. Every time
he bought it he hsd been grossly
swindled; every time he sold it he had
told the truth and lost money thereby.
It had left hishanda only a month be
fore for a mere song, though queerly
enough the purchaser was already
kicking about it Bnd claiming to have
been done for. Indeed, as the major
was wondering over the perversity of
human nature in buying a mine and
expecting to reap anything but a hole
in the ground, the owner of "Paradise"
entered his office. His name was Clark,
and he had a dangerous look in his eye.
He intended to call the major sev
eral kinds of frauds and swindlers,
threaten him with a generous slice of
the law, and make things generally so
hot that a resale might furnish him
with enough money to get out of Colo
rado, but his intentions were nipped in
the bud.
"See here, Clark," began the major,
as he got his feet off the desk, "you're
an honest man."
"But you ain't!" bluntly replied
Clark.
"That's where vou are mistaken.
My honesty has almost headed me for j
the nnnrhnnu. I've lost n fortune hv !
it. I've been figuring things up this
afternoon, nnd I've made up my mind
to do as others do. I sold you that
mine dog-cheap, but there's nothing in
it for you as it is. You and I are in the
same boat. We are altogether too con-
scientious. We've got to take the other
leg of it. I've been scooped and yea
been scooped, and now we'll g ha
gcther and scoop the publlt,"
"How do you mean?"
"We'll 'salt' 'Paradise' an wark has
off for a hummer."
"But that will be swindling," pea
tested Clark.
"Of course it will, but what of it ?
Hasn't the world swindled us? Hasn't
it corao to the point that even to pay
our running expnses we've got to lay
aside our consciences'.' We let go of had been creeping into the Uoston
our running expenses we've got to lay man's mind a feeling that he had bet
ciples and silver mines don't mix. ter have invested his hundred thousand
Clark, we have been martyrs to prin- in hides and leather or Back Bay land,
ciple. I'm going to turn shurper. We'll ,That expert's report had been a little
co in together and 'salt' old 'Paradise' , too fervid. The assay had smacked too
and make her pan out fifty thousand
apiece."
Clark went in. The major had
"soaked" him on the mine, and it was
human nature to want to get even,
lie didn't have to hold any argument
with himself to still the accusing voice.
In fact, as in the case of most others
who get left on a mine, there was no
accusing voice to accuse. The result of
a long and earnest conversation wns a
"deal." Clark was still to hold the
mine in his name, and the major was to
work up a boom and get half of the
profits. Under his directions, and with
more or lass of his personal aid, the
"salting" process was carried out. It
wasn't exactly the salt of commerce
and the dinner table which was blown
into the mine. It was honest output
from other mines, and though Maj.
Wharton had always been too honest
for hia own good, he somehow had the
ireceis of "salting" at his flnirers'endn,
Whea he got through with that kola
' km the ground, which had been dug for
a swindle, and had never given up five
dollars' worth of ore, thers were "indi
cations" to make a man's hair stand on
end. There was no sudden outburst of
excitement over the new bonanza. In
fact everything waa kept very quiet.
and "Paradise" still passed for a hole
in the ground. When the proper time
came the major began to throw out
hints. His wife was the first to receive
them. H had heard on the quiet
that "Pardise" was panning out to
beat the band nnd he utmost tore his
hair when he remembered that he had
sold it for a song. Mrs. Wharton was
told to keep quiet about it while her
husband planned to buy in, and of
course she told everybody about the
big strike. The news was public prop
erty in two days. The major was sar
castically commiserated for not hold
ing on, and Clark was warmly con
gratulated for not abandoning the
hole too soon. There were a dozen
men ready to buy it if it was really a
good thing, but "Paradise" was not for
sale not just then.
It was only when a Boston capitalist
who was traveling over the west with
his wife, passed that way and heard of
"the coming" that Clark would even
consent to talk about a sale, lie didn't
know much about mines himself, but
from what little he did know he judged
that the mine w as a fairish invest Blent.
He might be induced to sell it, but he
had a little rather hang on. He was in
this undecided state when two or three
parties were quoted as offering t bump
ing big figures. That was where the
major's fine Italian hand came in. Ik
was doing his share of the work, but
doing it on the outside. The Bostonian
wasn't averse to picking up a good
thing at a bargain, even if it was far
from home, and he soon began to talk
business. The bait wasn't jumped at,
however. An expert was secured to
make investigation nnd report, and the
Bostonian took a whirl further west
while waiting.
It was at this juncture that Mrs.
Wharton was summoned to receive a
legacy left her. It was a sum large
enough to permit the major to return
tohis lofty principles and stick to them
for life, or as long as he continued to
buy and sell mines, but, having taken
hold of "Paradise," he was bound to
sec her through. If he could beat some
body out of $50,000 by working off that
"salted" mine it would be just retribu
tion for what he had suffered by being
honest. Ills wife bad heard more about
the mine than nil others in the state.
Day after day the major had bemoaned
his foolishness in not knowing enough
to hang onto a good thing, and be
wailed the fact that he hadn't the mon
ey to buy an interest in the biggest hit
of the decade. If that legacy had only
come a ew weeks sooner! If the Bos-
: Ionian wouia oniy turn to reuwooo
, . i t i
lands or a California fruit farm and
surrender bis option on "Paradise."
Bat things didn't come the major's
way. A few days after his wife left
home the Bostonian returned. The ex
pert's report was ready. It was glow
ing. It left nothing to be desired ex
cept a transfer of ownership. A check
was drawn and the papers were passed,
and as the new owner departed for
j home to complete his arrangements for
turning out a ton or two of silver daily.
Maj. Wharton beamed upou Clark and
chuckled.
"Fifty thousand big dollars apiece!"
he said, as he rubbed his hands and
beamed some more. "Didn't I tell you
so? As honest, square-toed men we
were going to the dogs. As up-to-date
chaps we have made n scoop at the first
go-off. Let's look around for another
hole.
Mrs. Wharton received her legacy iu
Buffalo. All the way from west to east
she was thinking of the "Paradise"
mine and wondering if her money
couldn't get the major at least a quar
ter interest. There was a delay of
three or four days in Buffalo, and she
was almost in despair. When she
finally got the money she telegraphed
the good news and advised her husband
not to lose a good thing, ile laughed
as he read the telegram. He wasn't
missingany good thingsthus far. When
the wife reached Chicago on her return
trip, she stopped for a day to order
some dresses. To offset the delay she
sent another telegram to brace up the
major. It was while she was lunching
ond thinking of bonanza silver mines
Bnd rlous sorts of dresses, that she

soasaade

which a bwelneea man wenkf kavsa kesl-

wanted to know if the new purchaser
wouldn't sell out for a satisfactory
bonus. For the Inst day or two there
much of Golconda. He was not nn im
petuous man. He took ten minutes to
think it over, and then said he might be
induced. He was induced, but it took
exactly $150,000 to coax him around.
Mrs. Wharton had barely enough mon
ey left to see her through, but "Para
dise" was hers. What was hers was
also the major's. It didn't take a Chi
cago lawyer and a commissioner of
deeds two hours to complete the trans
fer, and it was a happy, rejoicing wom
an who went west on the ten o'clock
train. The proper thing to do was to
telegraph ber husband again, and she
sent him a dispatch which lifted him
out of his rocking chair, as he sat
smoking and chuckling in his library
at home. There wasn't much to it, but
every word pulled his hair on end.
"Congratulate your little wife! I have

The major's knees began to wobbb

Two days later Clark entered the
office and said he had found another
hole in the ground which could be
bought dog cheap and "salted" to sell
The major looked at him for a long
minute and made no reply.

mused Clark "being that the world
has no use for integrity and an hones,

"No, it isn't that," replied the ma jor,
in a voice as hoarse as if it had been

"We sold 'Paradise' for a hundred

"Egad, but we did!"
"And my wife has bought her back

"Thunder!" gasped Clark, after a
painful sllenes, and he tiptoed to the
door and passed1 out wthout another
word or a look over his shoulder.

Aanlil Bits from the Private Live
f Hoted Old Tim
Actree.
Many stories are told of the wy
in which Mrs. Stddons, the famous
tragic actress, alarmed people in pri
vate life, aays Youth's Companion.
She waa visiting at the country seat
of a friend. One day the butler, who
waa passing her the butter, hastily
withdrew the plate, saying: "Excuse
me, madam, there is a fly on the but
ter." "A fly, say ye!" came those never-to-be-forgotten
tones. "Bow gat he
there?"
Upon which the butler's wits
promptly forsook him, and h begas
to stammer unintelligibleexplanations,
to the vast amusement of the com
pany. His fate wns similar to that of a
meek young man who essayed conver
sation wit.. Fanny Kemble, the niece
of Mrs. Siddons. She also was pos
sessed' of a trngie manner, and tones
trot much below those of her aunt
in their power of inspiring awe in the
breasts of her listeners.
The unfortunate young man met
the nctress at Bome, and as an open
ing remark after his introduction, said
timidly: "I hear you have very fine
hotels in America."
"Sir!" was thundered at him, in
such a way that he almost jumped
from pure fright. "I hsve no hotels

a Darin Former Plood Rlit of
the Ohio River get So Rapid.
Cincinnati, April 23. Alarm over the
flood has almost ceased in the lower
Ohio valley. The low water in the
Ohio river below this city haa allowed
the floodB from up the river to flow
rapidly toward the Mississippi. The
situation is still serious up the river,
notably at Hipley, Maysvllle, Aberdeen,
Portsmouth, Hanging Rock, Ironton,
Ashland, Catlettaburg, Huntington,
Point Pleasant, Pomeroy, Marietta,
Parkersburg and smaller places be
tween Wheeling and Cincinnati. The
crest of the flood is below Wheeling,
nnd the further down stream it gets
the lower Is the rato of rising. The
uniform rate of three inchos an hour
yesterday morning fell to two inches
before noon and as low as 1 Inches
nn hour at Point Pleasant at 2 p. m.
It usually takes the .crest of the
flood two days to reach Cincinnati from
Point Pleasant, but the present unob
structed flood is much more rapid than
in former Hoods. At Portsmouth last
night 55 feet were reported, which
means serious conditions at points be
low Portsmouth. The weather bureau
says the flood will not exceed 58 feet nt
any time at Cincinnati, and possibly It
may not reach 57 feet. It Is now above
52 feet, and the maximum will not be
reached before tonight or tomorrow.
This is about ten feet less than was
anticipated here until the river began
falling Sunday night at Pittsburg. The
flood Is not as bad as In a A, .en for
mer years and Is much below the rec
ords of 1897 and 1898 and those of 1883
and 1S84.
The property loss In the rural dis
tricts will be very large, but homeless
people will not be kept away from their
houses as long as during former floods,
which In some cases lasted aa many
weeks as this will continue days in the
spring. The highest stage will be
reached at Parkersburg today and here
tomorrow, and at the mouth of the
Ohio before the end of the week.
The weather bureau here laat night
gave out the statement that the Ohio
river in the Cincinnati district gen
erally was above the danger line, from
one foot at Cincinnati to 14 feet at
Point Pleasant, and rising at an aver
age of two inches per hour. It indi
cated that the rise would continue at
Cincinnati till tomorrow, when the
river will become stationary and soon
begin falling. This bureau predicts 56
feet here this evening. The most en
couraging information received by the
weather bureau waa from Parkers
burg, where there waa a rise of only
one foot all day and a stage of only 42
feet was recorded, where the local river
men had anticipated 48 feet. It was
expected that the river would begin
falling at Parkersburg today. At Point
Pleasant, another critical place further
down the river, the water was rising
much more slowly.
At Pomeroy, which la located in a
great bend, the suffering is reported
leBs than In former floods. The large
furnaces of the salt trust are located
there, and they have suffered much
loss, as have the lumbermen, the elec
tric inter-urban lines, the light and gas
plants and other corporations. Sim
ilar conditions exist at Mlnersvlile, but
all the points In the Pomeroy bend es
caped. The reports from other up
river points that suffered bo severely
during other floods indicate that no
ontslde help Is needed, that there has
been no loss of life except in acci
dental drownings.
PITTSRl HK'S MUDDY DEXCGB.
The Work nf Cleaning; t'p I Rapid
ly Proceedlaa.
Pittsburg, April 23. The flood Is
ever. Notwithstanding the fact that In
the early day there was every evidence
or a renewal of the high water, the
announcement can be made authori
tatively that there is not the least dan
gar of another rise at this point nor
ire for the present, but towns on the
river below here are not vet out
af danger, because of rains in the val
et Bunday night and yesterday. All
SB river points report the rain and
enow having ceased and the rivers fall
ing. The rivers about this city are down
so that the works along the banks are
running. There Is a great deal of
cleaning up to be done. The flood
brought in much slimy mud that it left
when it receded, and It will require a
day or two to remove it from many of
the mills. In a number of places this
mud has clogged up the machinery,
seme of which will have to be taken
apart and cleaned. Today mud and
slime are the only reminders left of the
flood.
A look over the ground after the
food shows that the losses will be fully
as great as originally eatimated. In
and about Pittsburg it will probably
take $1,000,000 to pay the total coat of
the injury to property by the water
and by land slips. Add to this the
great loss to the railroads and manu
facturing plants, with the loea In wages
te the workingmen, and the total will
not fall short of $2,000,000.
