A SPANISH HEROINE
A Girl of Thirteen Captures Half q
Dozen Robbers.

st. Louis Republican,
A whole band of robbers was very
neatly trapped in La Carolina, Spain,
by the bravery Of a girl of thirteen,
who has become the heroine of the
neighborhood. She is the daughter of.
a farmer named Fueras, and is called
Caramita. The family consists of the
husband and wife and daughter. The
farmer sold some cattle for $500 and
had the money in his house. A band
of robbers knew of the sale and the
money, and laid their plan to rob the
house. After the farmer had gone out
with his work people, a couple of
strangers approached the house,
man travel-stained supporting a wo-
man who seemed unable to walk any
farther. The man told the farmers
wife that he was going to a distant
village with his wife, and she, being
i'll, had broken down on the way, lie
asked permission for the sick woman
to enter the house and rest while he
went to find a conveyance to enable
them to continue their journey. Per-
mission was granted, the woman taken
in and the man left. The sick woman
partook of some refreshments, and the
mother and daughter went on with
their work. Very soon Caramita dis
covered that their guest had on a pair
of pantaloons, under the gown. She
communicated the fact to her mother,
unobsefyed by the visitor, and the two
managed quickly to slip into another
room, close and lock the door. The
visitor, left alone and knowing
that his character had been dis
, covered, threw off his disguise
and ordered the women to oper
the door or die. The door was moi
, opened, and the robber began to Gu
through it with a large knife. A
!, length he hacked a hole big enougl
! for his body, and he began to craw
: through it. The woman tainted ant
: fell on the floor. The hrave girl seizet
her fathers gun, which was in th,
, room, heavily charged with buckshot
: placed the muzzle against the side 0
, the man, now half way through tn.
: hole and unable quickly to get eithe
backward or forward, and pulled tn
1 trigger. There was an instantly deal
: man and a loud report. The othe
+ robber, lurking in the ne~ighbOrhood
. heard the shot and returned to tn
house to find his comrades body plug
i ging the hole in the door and hangin
: there. Before he could remove tn
: body, which was held in the openin
|, by the girl, and enter the room wher
. the mother and daughter were, th
/, farmer came with a force sufficient {
capture the other robber. Then the
q sent for some police to take charge
, the living robber and the corpse. O
l, the person of the dead robber I'll
police found two pistols, a poniard an
l. a whistle. The whistle was a treaI
ure now, as there we're doubtless mol
J. robbers within its call. The polio
a sounded the whistle and conceale
a themselves in the house to await r.
suits. The shrill call brought fol-
70 more men into the house, where tn,
n we're Gagged and ironed, and all fl
we're marched to jailin good order, ar
the dead robber was buried. Lift
l. black-eyed Caramita saved her oV
h and her mothers life and her father
ne money, made six robbers fewer
Is Spain, and herself the heroine of
Carolina.

A Curious Crash OF CreedA in
Ohio.

Toledo O0 Special to Cincinnati Enquiror.l
Church circles are much exercised
over a conflict Of religious faiths be-
tween Hebrews and Christians over
some children Of tho former faith,
which, having reached tho authorities
Of both denominations, has become
little less than a sensation. A few
weeks since a noted Christian philan-
thropist, Mr.. J. Cooper Price, who
has spent a young lifetime, and a
small fortune as well, in genuine
Christian charity, was informed that
two children in a semi-abandoned
state we're occupying a wretched howell
on Allen street, a VIGOROUSLY bad
quarter. Repairing there, he found
two very bright and entertaining little
ones, indeed, on the verge Of death
from both hunger and cold. 1t proved
that the mother, a Mrs. Englander by
name, was the separated wife Of man
in Cleveland. Mr.. Price sought her
out, and with her consent and graft
tude took the children and succeeded
IN finding people to adopt them. Soon
after, however, the lady who took the
little girl--the children are a boy and
a girl-brought it TO Mr.. Price and
said she did not want il, as she had

Ex-Governor Howard, of Rhode

Tribune in remembrance Of Bayard
Taylor, and relates this incident:
When the peace of Europe seemed to
be menaced, prior to the Berlin con-
eress, a message was received at the
Legation to the effect that the pres
ence Of our minister at the royal pal
ace was requested. When Mr. Taylor
appeared the emperor said Mr.. Tay-

How 70 Play Draw Poker Profit

San francisco Chronicle.l
l.. Don't buy but half as many chips
at the start as the other players. The
expectation is that you will win, and
if you lose it is better that you borrow
or owe up.
2. Never ante up till some one tells
you to, and then say that you have,
and stick to it, which will generally
persuade some one else to come in y
twice. This rule, though an excellent
one, must be followed with discretion.
If practiced too often is liable to pro-
duce unpleasant feelings,
3. Towards the end of the evening
it is always better to owe" up your
ante " for a minute" than to " put "
up, as the winner Of the pot frequently
forgets to charge up the debt aud none
of the other players will remind him,
as they may wish to do the same thing.
4. When the credit system begins
to creep in, as it generally docs about
the middle of the game, you should
" owe up il possible, and bet chiefly
against those who always put up
This is one Of the most important
rules. To win in cash and lose on
credit is the great secret Of successful
pokef.playing,
5. In dealing always observe the
bottom card, which you can easily dc
before the cut. Then, by noticing
how thick a cut is made, you can tel
whether that caro- goes out. This
may help you in the draw.
6. Keep a sharp eye on the discards
They may be Of service if your draw
is not satisfactory.
Z. When you are in luck watch
your opportunity, from time to time
to put some Of your checks in YOU
pocket without being seen. This vii
enable you to " owe up ifluck turns

found the child was a Jewess. Mr.,
Price himself, therefore, took the
child, and, having no family of his
own, took out papers as its guardian.
He took all these steps with the writ
ten consent of the mother, including
the baptism of the little n into the
Christian faith.
These things coming to the atten-
ton of the Jewish Rabbi here, Rev. DR..
Eyer, he took steps to undo what had
been done, and reclaim the child to
the Hebrew faith and baptism. He
sought the mother out, but could get
no satisfaction from her nor her con-
sort. Then he found out the father,
whose name is Swartz, of Cleveland,
and enlisted him in the attempt.
Swartz came on to Toledo, and the
two so moved that suspicious Of in
tended kidnapping caused the child'r
guardian to lock her up and keep q
guard. They failed to either sur
prise Mr.. Price or to prevail on him
to give up the child. Yesterday they
were reinforced by a Rabbi from
Cleveland and other of the child's
relatives, who, after advice and con
sultation, filed a petition to yscatt
the order appointing Mr.. Price
guardian. br
The petitioner is the grandfather o.
the children. Within thirty days the
case must be disposed Of, when a live
" bout may be expected, as both side
are very strong, and both religious
faiths deeply interested.

Here is an unexcelled recipe for
breakfast corn cakes: Make ready a
sufficient quantity of corn meal, salt
it, pour into it enough boiling water
to make a stiff batter, stirring briskly
as you pour let the batter stand for
three-quarters of an hour, and bake
like ordinary griddle cakes. Serve
piping hot. Use no eggs, soda or bak-
ing powder. The scalding takes away
the solidness and raw taste of the meal
making your cakes as crisp and tender
as an ld-fashioned Yankee doughnut

THE BATTLE OF xURTaEHsBORO.

To-day is the anniversary of the
battle of NJ urfreesboro, as it is known
to the C~onfederates, or Stones river,
a called by the Federals, fought on
the 31st Of December, 1862-sixteen
years ago. To the participants and
others, then grown, who survive, 1t
does not seem so long. A younger
generation has grown up since, who
scarcely know that there was such a
battle; young men who were in it are
almost old enough to be turning gray.
This was one of the bloodiest battles
of the war. Like many of Bragg's
fights, it was virtually a drawn battle.
The Confederates made a splendidfght
from daylight until dark. Their at
tack on General Rosecranz's lines was
a surprise, A greater portion of
Bragg's army crossed the river silent
II on the previous night, formed into
line of battle and awaited the break Of
day. Before sunrise the advance was
made through open fields, and at first
but slight resistance was made. The
Federals we're driven from an early,
hot breakfast, which was a great temp
tation to the ill-fed old Confeds, but
they pushed forward and kept up the
fight all day. The Federal right wa
turned nearly FIVE miles, ant
the dead in many places lief
thick on the field, where the Con.
federatess slept that night and remained
all the next day. 1t was on the frs
Of January, if we remember correctly
that General Breckenridge made (;
desperate attempt TO turn Genera
Rosecranz' intrenched position on thI
Federal left. This wasa bloody anc
unsuccessful fight. Itseemed Ike al
unnecessary sacrifice Of life. Ate
this General Bragg decided to fal
back, and the army withdrew undo
cover Of night, leaving the sicl
and wounded at Murfreesboro il
charge Of Confederate surgeon
who were afterward passed through
the lines. The losses we're es
timated at not far from ten thou
sand killed on each side. Bragg
entire army was engaged and he ha'
no reserve. The Federals could easil
reinforce from Nashville by r%ailroa
and were reported to be doing so. Th
retreat, however, caused a good dea
Of dissatisfaction among the gallan
soldiers Of the Army Of Tennessee
The Federals who fell aud we're lei
on the field now rest in a costly an
beautiful national cemetery on tn
side Of the railroad, two or three mile
west Of Murfreesboro. The remain
Of the C~onfederates we're gathere
up and buried as decently as circun
stances would permit, by the Peep
of Murfreesboro and vicinity. \
costly monument casts its shade
across the last sleeping place Of tho
brave men, but their graves are keI
green, and in the spring time once
year the ladies and children sire
them with flowers. Those who f
on both sides presented a splend
illustration of American yalor al
soldierly qualities. The war was j
evitable in the course of events, a
they were not responsible for it or
causes, It's bitterness passed aS
almost with its smoke its woun
have healed up, and all true citize
strive to cultivate a fraternal, natior
spirit. The lessons Of history will n
be lost upon this generation, and it
not likely that any one now living "
ever see another civil war in this gr,
country.

II is understood that desperate efforts are
making to get some Endorsement OF the Texas
Pacific scheme in the Senate committee by
some hOcus pOcus the House committee was 80
organized rs 10 have the Texas attorney of
the Texas Pacific for its chairman, while
a majority of its members are in favor
of subsidies on general principles. The Senate
committee il not so easily controlled. Still 1t
is doubtless subject TO tremendous pressure.
In any case, We do not think there is the
slightest chance that the proposed scheme OF
this Texas Pacific Company for securing Gov
eminent indorscment on thirty-eight millions
of lis bonds, can finally pass even so wild and
reckless a Congress "a this. But the reports
from the various members Of the minority IN
the House Committee have not received the
public attention they deserve. We print in
another column the views OF Mcssrs.
Blair. I.uttrel, Morrison, Hewitt, Rice and
Landers respectively. They show clearly
enough that the six of the committee who
constitute the minority, very largely outweigh
in force of reasoning. as well as in political
sagacty, the seven on the other side.
This whole case of the Texas Pacific
NAV be put in nutshell. That COM
pany proposes that the Government shall
give it thirty-eight millions to build
road Another company is actually en-
gagged in building a road over the same route
with no subsidy-asking nOne-and sure to
finish the road within reasonable time if
none be granted. Congress is to decide
whether il is go enamored of the Texas Pa
cifc as to give it subsidy to build road,
rather than have one built by private enter
prise for nothing.
As for the Democrats they have merely to
decide whether they mean to belle all their
anti-subsdy and ant-extrayagance profess
SONS in the very first year of their
power. Colonel Morrison brings this point
homo to them with force. We shall
soon see whether, because of the raw
cnous hunger of its Southern members,
the Democracy proposes to cast off all
DISCUSSES, and go in squarely for plumber
from the outset. Nothing but the
necessity for plumber can vindicate or explain
the expenditure of one dollar of Government
money for the building of n road which the
country can get just as soon and just as well
without Government aid.
