An American Consul Who Likes Robbers,
From the New York Tribune
'Let me tell you a good story Of Yankee
pluck" said prominent business man to re-
porter recently. ut is about my friend James
Springer, acting American consul st Matanzas,
q well-known Cuban seaport town. A dispatch
came to me yesterday saying that Mr.. Springer
had been visiting his brother, the American
vice consul general at Havana, and that the
other night, on going out for a walk, he said:
Joe, like the looks Of that stick Of yours II
you don't mind I'll take it along with me-
Late that evening. as the consul was returning
through a dark and lonely street he was assailed
by two highwaymen armed to the teeth, who
presented their weapons and demanded his
money or his life. Mr.. Springer, who il famous
throughout Cuba for his GOODNESS and nerve.
struck one of the footpads such blow With his
cane that the fellows skull was nearly frsc-
tured. The other robber was disabled by
second stroke Of the good stick and ran away
bowling with fear and pain. Mr.. Springer hss
had many adventures Of . similar kind in
Cuba few weeks ago he was being driven in
o sort of Victoria through q lonely part of 4
Cuban town, when his hired coachmaia turned
in his seat, presented a cooked pistol and de-
manded his fares money. Mr.. BprinsSr's re-

zH Ii PHrLASrHaoPIc THOUGH NOT SOCIAL
From the New York Sun.
Those who may take the pretty road which
winds southwark and therefore westward from
Setauket, L. L, will presently come into the
midst Of beautiful farm land, not so level as to
be monotonous. just now across the brown
Fields and through the masses Of autumn leaves
one may occasionally get q glimpse Of the
green waters of the sound with white wind
ruffles here and there. Old Fields they call
this country, which is pleasant to the eye Of
the farmer and Of the admirer Of scenery.
First there comes the road which leads Of
under the trees TO Gen. spinola's handsome
place, whose great brick barn peers over 0
little hill far back from the main highway.
Next TO this are some still more beautiful
Fields, lying more open to the view of the
sound: There is great pond. and in the field
OF wh1ch 1t Is the center a number of great
black horses with gracefully flowing names
and tails roam free, and look az though harness
or halter had never held them. Next to this
field is . long avenue of locusts and adjoining
this, on the other side, another pond in another
field inhabited by Jersey cattle.
One sees along row Of small and not at all
attractive farm buildings at the end of the
avenue. This row ends IN farm house. which
Is suspected rather than seen, for q group Of
bushes and trees shuts it of from observers on
the highway.

One professor was always careful and courteous

1t is also amusing and gratifying to see the
refning effect of the ladys entrance into the
lecture hall or library of the school. II the up
raised masculine feet do not at once and volun-
tarily come down from the table or back of
the next chair they are assisted to their right

fellow student. OF course there are ALWAYS
some men who heartily Gisapproye of womar's

way short Of actually rude conduct. have
never known of systematically rude behavior
toward a woman law student.

at Penn Haven junction, jumped from

80 miles an hour He boarded the
train at Mauch Chunk for Hazleton
and when nearing Penn Haven was in
formed that the train would not stop.
Not to be outdone he picked up his
grip, and, as the train was gliding by
the depot, recklessly stepped off and
was thrown between the rails miracul-
ously escaping instant death. He
quickly recovered himself and as the
last car passed by he jumped to his
feet little the worse for his foolhardy
jump. On arriving in town he acquain-
ted his friends with his recklessness
stating that outside of a few bruises
and "blisters on his shoes" he was all
right, but would not again run the risk
