Shopping in Cuba.

FROM Tue HtOuHY argus.
One class you will miss in Cuba-not only in
shops, but everywhere else-is the women
workers The most sensible and often the
handSomest women can be found occupying
places of trust in American mercantile estab-
ishments and offices In all Havana but one
place is noticed where white women are en-
ployed. This is at a modiste's on Gale de
Obispo, and these are a scraggy lot indeed
Women in Cuba are ladies, waSherwomen or
demimonde. Shopping is done by the fair Sc
noras or Senoritas in the afternoon, and one
will then certainly see beautiful women. They
are neither tlippant nor trfiing in their pur-
chases, as in some countries. No salesman
would dare gossip with them, suggest for them
or chattlngly enter upon discussion of their
affairs. Nor do they inform shopkeepers os
their own or their neighbours intentions. They
seem to know just what they want and go
straightway and get it. The turnouts are very
gay. Thousands of women meet, mingle and
pass greetings, but there seems to be a general
misunderstanding here that shop is not Just
the place in which ladies should entertain one
another.

there was another steadfast pause.) "Ah, now,

Edward Starkey CT Philadelphia, had
been absent from home five years when he
concluded to pay the old place visit the
other night. He selected 2 o'clock a. m, as
the time Of his visit, and probably he had
lost his latch key, for he entered by way of
a third story window, Many objects dear
to memory met his gaze as he roamed over
the house. The coat rack in the hall had
the same old appearance, but the coat hang
ing thereon was not the one he had been ac-
customed to seeing, so he laid it aside where
he could examine it more at his leisure. He
was anxious to see again his fathers gold
watch, and while tenderly drawing it from
its place he reached forth the other hand
and drew out of another pocket the fami-
liar old purse. containing $47. lie was averse
to parting with these things, so he affection
ately tucked them away in his capacious
pocket. Then he bid the home of his youth
a silent adieu. The next day he was ar
rested for burglary.

The Remains of Alexand

The Remains of Alexander the Great
The reported discovery, near Saba, for
merly Sidon, of the sarcophagus containing
the remains of Alexander the Great, has
provoked much curiosity among people in
terested in ancient history.
Alexander died June II, 1893, B. c., in
Babylon. Owing to the quarrels regarding
the succession his body remained at Baby
Ion for some time. About year and a
half after his DEATH it was decided to take
it to Agae, the burial place of the Macedo
MAN Kings, but those having it in charge
were induced to turn aside and to carry it
to Egypt, and it was kept in Memphis until
the royal mausoleum at Alexandria was
completed. After being taken to that CITY.
there is no historical data showing further
disposition of the body The sepulchre was
subsequently pillaged, and the remains
either burned, cast to the wind or removed
elsewhere.
If it can be established that the sarcopha-
gus found at Saba is that which contained
the body Of Alexander, the discovery is an
important ore in the interest of history, but
it is not thought probable that any proof
that it is can be adduced. The French
savants are disposed to sheer at the "find,"
and Americans who have expressed an
opinion with regard to it are skeptical.
Prof. Paul Haupt, of the Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore, says the sarcophagus
of Alexander is supposed to be in the British
Museum.
Minister Strauss, in response to an in
quiry, cabled that the reported discovery
grew out of the fact that one of the sar-
cophagi found at Saida lately was supposed
by some to be that of Alexander 1t seems
that there is really very little upon which
to base the sensational story. After the
public has discussed the matter for awhile,
it will probably be forgotten until some one
else startles the world with another similar
discovery,

The Emperor williams Death.

Death at last has claimed Germany 5
! Emperor Although his death at any time
! within the last few years would not have
! occasioned surprise, because of his great
/ age, nevertheless the announcement of it
/ has produced profound impression upon
( the whole civilized world He was a great
man and good one, and his people loved
him. Few have played SO prominent part
in the worlds history, and fewer still of
those who have occupied thrones, or inhu-
enced the destinieS of nations, have had so
Many years of life accorded to them, or
have enjoyed so many well-ealned honors.
As King of Prussia he saw Germany
divided into petty States He left her a
powerful empire-an empire united and
prosperous, and entitled, from the stand
point of power, to the trat place among the
nations on the continent of Europe. He
united in himself the qualities of soldier
and statesman, and on many occasions in
his long career he displayed those qualities
conspicuously. In no way, however. did he
show his greatness so clearly as in the selec-
ton of his advisers and leutenants. He
rarely made a mistake in his judgment
Of men, and it was not possible to poison
his mind against those whom he had
resolved to trust. Bismarck and Won
Moltke, one a statesman and the other a
soldier each unsurpassed in his respective
field, helped to make Germany what she is,
but great as they are they would have re-
manned in comparative obscurity, probably,
if the Emperor Williams judgment of men
had been less discriminating and profond,
or if he had lacked the strength of charac-
ter or the nobility of soul to repel the in
situations and suspicious of those less ia
vored who sought to influence him against
them.
The Emperor Williams death will not tie
mourned alone in Germany. Millions of
Germans have left the fatherland, and they
are scattered las far as the waters be-" In
every country, therefore, to which intelli-
gence is carried by electricity, there will be
sad hearts to-day, and expressions of rever-
ence for the memory of the grand old man
whose name is SO inseparably connected
with Germany's greatness.
1t is useless to speculate yet upon the
effect the Emperor's death will have upon
Germany His son, as Frederick Ill will
occupy the throne. He is in every respect
worthy of that exalted position, and if he
had the prospect of a long life Germany
would have every promise of long period
of peace and prospesity. Unfortunately,
however, he is afflicted with what is be-
lieved to be an incurable disease, and may
die within few months. His career thus
far, however, and his character, justify
the conclusion that while he lives, whether
it be short or long time, he will govern
wisely and well.

Ireland's Cause.

| Yesterday was big day for Ireland in
this city. The disting Iishel visitors, Sir
Thomas Henry Grattan Esmonde, Mr..
Sutton, Secretary of the Irish National
League of America, and Hon William f.
Robinson. of Brooklyn, We're given vel
come that must have convinced them that
lrelands cause is not without many and
warm friends in Savannah Indeed, it is
doubtful if there is any other city in the
country where Irelands fight for local self
government is watched with keener inter
est, or where there is a more earnest desire
that it shall be successful than in this city.
The struggle of Ireland against England's
oppression has been a long and heroic one.
1t has furnished examples Of patriotism
perseverance and self sacrificing devotion
in behalf of liberty that will live as long as
there is history to preserve the record of
them.
Centuries of misrule have not broken the
Irish spirit. Ireland is as determined to-
day to break the chains with which England
has bound her as she ever was. Her lead
ers, one after another, worn out with their
labors in her cause, disappear, but Others
are always at hand to take their places, and
their eloquence is as powerful and effective
in denouncing England's tyranny as was
that of their predecessors. Exile, fines and
prisons have no terrors for them. They are
ready to lay down their lives in their coun-
try's service, and, therefore, no punishment
which their country's enemy can provide
has terrors for them.
Ireland's cause is becoming more hopeful.
Concessions have been made by England
since Parnell became her chosen leader, and
now that Gladstone is aiding him with his
great ability and tremendous influence,
other and more important concessions may
reasonably be expected sool.
The Ireland which is contending for local
self government to-day is far stronger than
the Ireland which struggled against En-
glands oppression century ago Millions of
her sons in other lands are aiding her with
voice, pen and purse, and they will continue
to aid her until the victory is won. Sir
Thomas Esmonde will carry back to Ireland
such assurances of help that Irelands sons
who are on the scene of actual strife will be
encouraged to battle in her cause with re-
neWed vigor
