artillery into the plaza and infantry
and two cannon to guard his residence.
When the guns were turned on the mob
there was a general dispensing of them,
though they discharged their revolvers
at the artillery men. They left the
plaza, but fought in the side streets;
in fact, they practically during
the night of the 18th held full
control of the city, though at
intervals they were attacked by the
infantry, who shot many of them. The
reports of revolvers and rifles were to
be heard all night, and at the hour the
gentleman giving this information left
for San Jose de Guatemala to embark
for Acapulco fighting was still in prog
ress. In his conception this will cause
a general revolt throughout the entire
republic of Guatemala and engender
war in all of the other Central Ameri-
can states. A strict censorship is main
tanned over all press dispatches, and
the mails are also trified with to pre-
vent the leaking of any information
concerning the actual condition of the
country. 1t is stated that cable COM
munication with Guatemala City has
been interrupted.
A special to the Anglo-American from
Newton, on the line between Guate-
mala and Mexico, received in this city
at o'clock this afternoon, and deliv-
cred to that telegraphic station by spe-
cial courier, brings the information
that Barillas is master of the situation,
he having put down the revolt in the
City of Guatemala after three days of
hard fighting. The revolt was pre-
cipitated by Montufar, a son of
one of the candidates for the presi-
dency, who is strong partisan
of Barillas, in attempting to
make a political speech on Independ-
ence day. A mob threw him and his
friend from the platform in the main
plaza, pelting them with stones until
they found shelter in a neighboring
house. From that time until the night
of the 18th there was street fighting,
sometimes the mob being in control of
the city and at other times the army.
The arrival of troops from adjoining
districts eventually restored Barillas to
power, and the whole city is now in
tested with soldiers. Martial law has
been declared 1t was expected when
the courier left the City of Guatemala
that Barillas would declare himself die
tator, so as to prolong his term of Office.

often called -. Ralph Burton, )" never
signs his name that way and never
calls himself by that title. 1t says he
never was responsible for it being that
way but once and that was when he
was at coolidge. In order to get along
be had to borrow 500. Then he took
lessons in elocutiOn and won the prize
in contest at the end of the term.
Shortly thereafter be billed himself to
make a starring tour in one of the
neighboring villages. He accordingly
had posters struck announcing that
81. Ralph Burton" would entertain
the villagers on certain evening. he
was on the platform at the appointed
time and spoke to a meager audience.
The box Office receipts showed a deficit
of Sll.25. As he sat at the station
that night waiting for the train, with
gloomy thoughts his eyes fell upon
bill beneath.a sickly looking lamp with
81, Ralph Burton" starting him in the
face. He at once made up his mind
that his failure was mainly due to the
fact that he bad announced himself to
the plain, every day villagers as 81.
Ralph Burton" He had never oLce
before used his name in that manner
and once for all decided never to write |
it that way again,
After that he taught elocutinn in
several Indiana colleges and earned |
money enough to get started in life.
He never saw his name written in the |
way for which he has so hearty :, dis
like until long aft"1r be came TO Kan.

has kept going the rounds. In this
connection it is curious that several
leading newspapers always give his
first name as "John" when in fact his
full name is Joseph Ralph Burton.

A KNOWING NAG.


lie Understands his Business ana Attends
to 1t Faithfully.
"Slivers" is the name of one of the
horses now in the service of The
Tribune in the transferring of papers
from the mail room to the various early
morning trains
Slivers is a walking illustration of the
saying that "a horse can all but talk"
The sound sense of this specimen of
equine intelligence is worthy of notice
by the newspaper for which he renders
such faithful service.
There is not carrier in the city who
knows his route better than does gray
coated "Slivers" as he picks his way
along either of the many rounds which
he is called on to make. Being given
the reins, he touches unguided all the
points on the route. He stands un-
hitched while his master carries across
an acre of tracks bundle of papers to
be dispatched on an early freight, and
Immediately the driver resumes his seat
on the box he is off for the next stop
ping place, which he finds with wonder
full precision. Reaching the Tribune
Office, he backs about for another load,

to go.
One of Sliyers' characteristics is the
jog which he strikes upon starting on a
trip and out of which he will allow no
one to change him. He takes it and
keeps it during the entire trip, never
increasing or Stacking save TO make a
delivery. However, there are circum-
stances when he discards this pace of
his own accord. He seems to know
when the time in which to make fast
mail is short He seems to get the tip
from the agility with which packages
are thrown on the wagon, and the
racket he makes over the cobble-stones
in his race for the depot is indescrib-
| able. Nearing the bridge and hearing
the bang-bang- bang of the gong indicate
that the structure is about to swing
around he lifts his white tail and pokes
his nose out ahead of him as he gallops
up the approach and dashes over the
span in a jiffy. Chicago Tribune.

1t Is just Easy to BE Polite and Is
Infinitely Better.
The correspondent of the London
Times, who lately reported the French
autumn maneuvers, declared that the
discipline of the French army is excel
lent that he never witnessed "a single
instance of insubordination or the
slightest approach to it," and that
''orders were always obeyed willingly
and as matter of COURSE" but, he add
ed, the officers used IAN unnecessary
amount of courtesy in speaking to the
men" He was puzzled that discipline
and courtesy could go together. The
English journals are using this as a
brusqueness and incivility that are
common on the part of officers to-
wards subordinates, and in gen.
eral on the part of those in au-
thority towards their interiors. 1t is a
very stupid notion that politeness to-
ward those who serve us in any way
indicates that we are incapable of COM
mand There is no incompatibility be-
tween courtesy and authority. Indeed,
we imagine that the women who al
ways get along with their servants are
those who treat them with punctil.
ious civility. Habitual courtesy does
not encourage CELEBRITIES" and
does not prevent the use of di.
rect and forcible language on occa
sion. 1t has been justly said, that
because you treat.a man with courtesy
you are not deprived of the power tc
point out to him, when necessary, that
he is idle, coward, or fool. The eff
feet of courtesy, indeed, is to enhance
not diminish, the significance of direc
expressions of opinion. The wig
gings" of the courteous man are twic,

Gently written by a scholar in Standard
vi. of a board school in Chelsea: "Trees
are very useful. There are all sorts of
trees the cokernut tree and orange ap-
pie and plum trees. Coker nuts are
very nice people In the pacific and
foreign nations live on cokernut and
many other fruits. Apple trees and
orange trees are very nice. Their are
trees that do not bloom oak trees and
hay corn and pine apple trees never
bloom. Some trees are very tall they
stand from the height of ten to fifteen
yds high and some are taller than that.

The Way of Doing 1t.

Not more depends upon the thing you
do than upon the way you do it. The,
difference between the clean swath of
that harvester in front of our house and
the ragged work of his neighbor is in
the way he swings the scythe, and not
in the scythe itself. There are ten men
with one talent apiece who do more
good than the one man with ten talents.
A minister for an hour in his sermon
endeavors to chase down those british
in their habits, attempting to place
them under the harness of Christian
restraint and perhaps miserably fails,
when some gentle hand of sisterly or
motherly affection laid upon the way
ward one brings him safely in.-Tal-

And again Nellie broke down and
wept for joy, while father and mother
looked on, realizing for the first time
in their lives how sadly they had neg
lected their best treasure, and how
much they had missed the right in their

Their appreciation of Nellie did not

she had gained her education by her
own efforts in the odd hours she had
