He Couldn't Talk Him to Death.
N. Y. Herald.
Hope and despair were alternately ex.
pressed In the eyes of Robert Turbin as
he stood at the bar of the Harlem Police
Court yesterday morning. His hands
were clasped behind his back, and his
necktie had worked itself around under
his left ear.
"Robert, Robert" said the court,
winding up a long sermon, ''this is shame
full. A respectable looking man found
drunk In the street. Do you never think
of the sorrow 1t would cause your mother
if she knew the boy she taught to pray
was a ~drunkard?'
The prisoners eyes looked eager and
he wal silent.
"Think of how you are undermining
the foundations of society and teaching
others to be drunkards by your exam
pie. Think of how you have set at
naught morality and d~ecency."
Remorse was evidently gnawing at
Robert Turbin's heart, for he looked at
the magistrate with fixed gaze and spoke
not a word in defense of his conduct.
The court shook it's head and looked I'M
~speakable reproach at the prisoner.
"Oficer," said the magistrate, task
the man why he does not speak"
"He's deaf and dumb" said the po-
liceman with a grin.
"Oh-a a.sh-ten days." exclaimed the
court warmly.

Mexican Hatred for Americans.

San Francisco Chronicle.
The p%rejudices against Americans dc
not exist merely in the minds of the igno'
rant and u~neducated, but are quite as
frequently found %amongthe upper classes,
the we'll educated, end aver the leaders
of thought-viz. the clergy and the jour
~nallsts. Many superficial observers, es-
pecially Americans whe visit this country
for a temporary ~''outlng" and remain
here for a few days or a few weeks will
write home stating that the "better
class" are very fond Of Americans; that
they always greet them with great def.
erence, and are the most polite people in
the world. Those foreigners who know
the Mexicans best tell me-and l believe
l. to be true-that the Mexicans have a
great delicscy In concealing from you
their real sentiments when it is consid-
cred polite or prudent to do 30, land hence
you can never gather from their conduct
toward you in personal interviews what
their real sentiment toward you is. Per-
sonally, 1 like this. For if a man hates
you, or is antipathetic to you, it Is far
more agreeable to have him conceal that
fact when you are brought in close con
tact with him, though, of course, more
dangerous to you ofientimeD. This same
trait is very noticeable in most
French men and French women.
The American and Englishman, save
when ''refined" by contact with French
people, are usually quite the reverse
more brusque, more blunt, less courteous
as far as outward grsces and polish are
concerned, and far more truthful. gen.
uine, and to be relied upon than any of
the Latin races. l find the highly cul-
tured and polished Mexicans exceedingly
agreeable people to meet, to converse
with, to be entertained by, but there ia q
constant feeling of their insincerity being
impressed upon me, both while in their
presence and after leaving them-a feel.
ing that they do not like US because we
are Americans, because they errOneously
regard us as desiring to wrong them, to
overreach them (or their fellow country
men) in trade, to spread religious prop
Uganda throughout their country, swal-
lowing up and overthrowing the power of
the ong.established national faith, and
even that our nation has aggressive
designs upon their country and will
ooner or later swallow it up, merging it
into our union and thus destroying their
patria and making it a mere dependency
of the United States. OF course [ know
that any cultured Mexican of whom you
may ask: SIS this truce" will at once
earnestly reply: mo! 1t is quite an
error to believe in such an absurdity as
that" But such denisls prove nothing.
The true way to learn the real sentiment
of Mexicans in this regard is to judge
them by their writings as found in their
newspapers, reviews and books, and by
their actions, which do, indeed, speak
louder than words.

COUNCIL BLUFFS
ADDITI AL LOCAL NEWS.
AN UNCOMMON COUNCIL,
II HaS no Rules, But Needs a Good
Many.
The Promise Made That Business
Hereafter will be Done Properly.

The BEE was surprised a little yester-
day on being informed that the present
city council had no rules to guide It's con.
duct. It has been generally supposed
that, like other councils, they had rules,
but they did not care to live up to them.
The loose way of doing business has been
supposed to be because of the rules be-
ing Ignored, but now, worse than all, it
seems that the Same l%ooseness has been
observed in regard to establishing rules
themselves, the council having neglected
this important duty. All other councils
have, on organizing, agreed by vote to
adopt the rules of the proceeding coun-
Gil, until the new body could so amend
and change them as to suit themselves.
1t Is now declared by city officials who
ought to know, that the present council
on organizing did not adopt the rules of
the old council, because they did not suit
them, and that they have neglected to
make any new ones.
There has been so much comment on
the loose way of doing business that the
council now proposes to make a change.
Two of the chief causes of complaint are
that debts contracted by a committee, and
often by one alderman alone, have been
paid on presentation of the bill, certified
to by the alderman, and accompanied by
a request to the auditor to draw the re-
quired warrant. These bills are after
wards reported to the council who ap.
prove the same. The business-like way
is certainly for the council as q body to
order bills paid and warrants should be
drawn by order of the council instead of
individual aldermen. Another cause of
complaint is that bills are not read
in open council, but are rushed
through in a bundle. Citizens are
often in attendance at council
meetings, and they would have more con-
fidence that public matters were being
rightly handled, if these bills against the
city were given the daylight. After hav-
Ing gone this far through the year In this
slip.shod way, the council now propose to
make a change, and do business as 1t
should have been done before. 1t Is to
be hopea that the reform will stick.

The large equestrian statue of the great
Duke of Wellington which used to stand
at Hyde Park Coraer, London, has been
taken down, and is to be regretted at
Aldershot. In the head of the Duke,
with its cooked hat and plumes, was
found a starling's nest which had been
made on the crown of his lordship's head,
and entrance to 1t was gained from under
the ends of the great plumes at the front
of the hat. The body of the Duke vas

A correspondent of the New York
Times writes: This disease is so infectious,

all utensils used by them. DIR. f. s.

From a Borrowers Diary.
Here are my rules for borrowing
'Study your man before you tackle him.
If he is of a sensitive and confidipg dis,
position, take him aside and pour a tale
of woe into his ear. If he ia neither sen.
sitive nor confiding, never ask him OK,
cept when he is surrounded by ~acquaint-
ances. Then he will be ashamed to re-
fuse. Between pjudicious sympathy
and false pride you can find a field large
enough for your talents. Once in q
while you have to change your base, you
know. An expert borrower told me that
it took about two years to exhaust 8
single community. Always borrow q
dollar three times and pay back again,
and the fourth time stick him heavy.
That's m rule. 1t is infallible."
