Life in Central America.

Some of the eccentricities OF Central
American politics are illustrated in the
singular career and tragical fate OF one
Casimiro de Ia Flor, leader OF a revolu-
tionary party in the State OF Panama.
This desperate, it is said, had main
tanned barrack of his own, refusing to
give up his arms and munitions OF war.
Being credited with the commission of
half dozen murders, at the very least,
he had been let Difficulty with sentences
in the chain-gang. Human life is cheap
in Central America. Finally, having
threatened arson, murder, and pillage,
he was placed in the stocks, and while
there, he was literally hacked to pieces
by unknown persons. This is quite as
bad as shooting a man in the back and
then charging him with having begun
the ARRAY. But in Central America,
everybody plays at politics, and a mans
chances for long life are not so good as
in regions where the people who desire
to live long do not become candidates Tor

AIhttle Romance of Broadway.

y. Y. Letter in Chicago lnter-Ocean.
Three pretty young girls from Jersey
CITY had left the ferrybOat to walk up
to the Elevated road, and unluckily
were provided with only one whalebOne
and silk covering for their heads. The
narrow sidewalk made il almost lmpos-
sible for the three TO walk abreast, and
consequently one OF them who was adj
dressed as Annie, received all the drip
pings from the leaves of the umbrella
upon her unselfish head.
A gentleman walking just behind
them noticed this, and tried, as unOb-
strusively as possible, to shelter her
with his own. For q block or so she ignored
the attempt, but finally was forced, in
crossing the street, TO accept the cour-
tesv, which she did with an embarrassed
bow. 1t happened that the youth had
been well brought up, and understood
her fear lest nc should in any way take
advantage of his courtesy TO be imper-
tinent, and being OF rather mlschlev-
Gus turn of mind, he waited until he
caught her eye, as she looked so shyly
up, when, assuming that far look so
often seen on the faces OF the deaf and

The girl looked SO immensely relieved
that he came near laughing right out;
especially when he announced that he

the world, an |, much to the amusement
of this knight of the umbrella, the three
proceeded To discuss him girl-fashiOn,
and from the color of his eyes to the cut
of his Clothes he was fully criticised,
"Annie" deciding that, as a husband,
he would be sans r,pr0chc, never swear
inc, never scolding, making silence
golden.
Wecn they reached the station the
three girls bowed and smiled and grim
aced their gratitude, when, to their pro-
found horror, the youth, with a sweet
smile. raised his hat, remarking, with
painful diStinctncss, that he was very
happy to have been OF service With
a suppressed shrek, the merry maids
rushed up the winding stairs, and the
youth walked on, whistling Beautiful

"And Lady"

PomeroyS Democrat.
When you look at hotel register and
see there registered the arrival OF chr
Blink and Lady," you may bet your
last dollar that the woman is not his
wife. Men who are married register
and are known us man and wife. Snobs,
upstairs, ignoramuses and men who
travel and put up with other women
register land lady" Men OF real good
hard-timber sense, are content to be
known as husband and wife, and are
not eternally trying to ape the My Lord
and My Lady OF royalty and toady-
ism.
BOYS, some of these days you will be
men, and you will go from home with
your sweetheart or your wife. II you
stop at hotel and are not married,
then each register your names on separ-
ate lines. Ii the woman is your wife,
then register so that the landlord and
all who see the books will know who
and what you are. But if you are tray-
cling with fancy woman, or the vile OF
another man, and room together, then
by all means register your name and al
ter write "and lady"
This advertises that the woman is not
your wife, and that she is nameless, a
nonentity, mystery in skirts, COM
paniOn for time, or that you are two
great simpletons. If she is your wife
do not be ashamed OF her or to let the
people know it.

DEATH OF LEROY w.
WEIGH.
A Distinguished Young Citizen
of Belmont County, ..
From the Chronicle.

From the ChTonlcle.
The tidings of the death OF Mr.. Leroy
w. Welsh were received with feelings oil
sincere regret by many friends OF the
family, and others who, from incidental
acquaintance with Mr. Welsh, had learn
ed to Judge Of his worth.
LEROY W. Welsh, son OF the late Hon.
Isaac Welsh, was born in Washington
township, Belmont county, in March,
1874. After receiving common school
education, he entered college at Della
ware, Ohio, where he completed the SIX
wears course, and graduated in the sum
mer of 1868. The next year he spent at
home, in the study of law, after which
he entered the Cincinnati Law School
where he completed the prescribed
course, and graduated in the summer OF
1871. He entered the office OF Treasurer
of the State Of Ohio, at the beginning oil
the following year. as the chief assistant
of his father, Hon. Isaac Welsh, who
had been elected State Treasurer at the
preceding October election. He contin-
ued in this position till the latter part oil
the wear 1915, when he was appointed
Treasurer by Gov. Allen, to fill the va

father. At the close of this term he re-
turned home, where he remained until
last spring, when he opened an office for
the practice of law in Columbus, Ohio:
In this occupation he remained until
compelled by his last illness to return
home, where he remained until the time
of his death, which occurred on We'd
nesday morning, Goth inst.
Mr.. Welsh was a young man of fine
intellect and broad culture. Combined
with these, his excellent social qualities
made him one of our best and most es-
teemed citizens. With an unusually
large store of knowledge, gathered by
his own experience and observation, he
was Just prepared to enter career OF
great usefulness. Though many will
regret his loss. only those who were in
timately acquainted with him, and have
felt the influence OF his genial nature,
and known the extent OF his acquire
ments and the wide reach of his thought
can fully appreciate the extent OF the
loss our community has suffered in his
death.

A Minister on Dancing.

The Rev. Mr.. Tomilson, OF Indian
opolis, is so greatly opposed to dancing
that he speakes his mind as follows:
at requires neither brain, good morals
nor religion to be a good dancer. The
dance leads bad society. | never saw
such a vicious crowd of young men at
our college rs on a night when there
was a to be bail. 1t won't mix with
religion any more than oil and water
will mix. As the love of one increases
the love OF the other decreases. How
many eminent Christians are distin-
guished dancers? As certain as the
atmosphere around the thermometer
at zero will freeze things, as certain as the
wind that is bellying the sail will drive
the boat, so certain will dancing freeze
the religious sentiments out OF the soul;
it will drive its devOtee away from the
church; it is wind that blOws'in that
direction. No dancing is spoken OF in
the Bible that was done by Divine au-
thority. In Ancient times the sexes
danced separately"

Watermelon in Yellow Fever.

A Memphis dispatch to the Courier
Journal says: Moons case was a re-
markable one. His physicians had de-
SPARED of saving him after severe and
repeated attacks OF vomit and hemor-
rhages, and left him in charge OF his
nurse to do all possible to ease him in
his last moments. Moon was quite de-
lirious, but occasionally some moments
of ease would intervene. During one OF
these he begged his nurse for piece OF
watermelon, which was procured and
given him, the nurse being particular TO
allow HIM to swallow none of the pulp.
In few minutes after he had partaken
of the melon the desired results followed,
and so copiously as to bring about the
most marked favorable changes. The
black vomit and hemorrhages ceased,
and Moon has been steadily mending
ever since, until now he is out of dam
ger, il noimprudence be INDUCED in

A Wet Musician.

At Baldwin's Theatre, San Francisco,

fight between two women in a wash

On this occasion Rose Coghlan had just

and the contents of the pail descended

THAT boy-murderer, Jesse Pomeroy,
in the Massachusetts, State Prison, is a
perpetual source not only ofnewspaper
paragraphs, but of anxiety on the part
of his keepers. When all the prisoners
were removed from the old prison to the
new one, a camp-iolding chair, which
had belonged to Jesse, was left behind.
\ subsequent accidental examination OF
this disclosed the fact that stone-cut-
ter's chisel, ten inches long and weigh
ing nearly two pounds, was concealed
neatly in one OF the arms, which had
been followed out to receive it, leaving
only the bare shell Of the wood. ii the
chair had been sent to Concord and
placed in Pomeroy's cell, it is the opion-
ion of experts that in an hours time he
would have regained his liberty.

An Able Mule.

st. Louis Times-JOurnal.
There is a mule in Mississippi county
that is over eighteen hands high. His
eyes have that dreamy, pensive, far-off
look in them that is peculiar to we'll
regulated mules, and there is an unde-
Unable grace about the pose OF his ears.
When properly approached, and with
slight inducements, he will cut a wider
swath than the historic sickle OF the So
called grim reaper. Several grave-yards
in close proximity to his native pasture
are enduring monuments to his abilities.
There was some talk OF selling him to a
Louisville mule trader, but the Coroner
and undertaken formed a Joint Stock
Company and bought a controlling in
terest, and he will be retained in Missis-
sipi County.

lust above the door they found a dead
mouse living on top of a large-slzed
nest On making an examination OF
the nest it was found 10 be constructed
of small pieces OF one, two and tive-dOl-
lar bills. The pile was sufficiently large
10 cause the officers of the bank 10 be-
lieve that the entire fifteen or twenty
dollars stolen from them were in the

fauIting bank mouse together with It's
rather expensive nest is on exhibition

Plumber block. Not piece OF the bills
as large as a silver halt-dollar could be
found in the pile. We believe that
