The whole effect was most appallingly
heightened by the hiss and splash of the
escaping cider In moment the un-
happy family were on their feet and
dragging their dripping and somewhat
ruffied plumage up tie stairs and into
the light Another lamp was secured,
and Mr.. Coville FASTENED down stairs
when he not only discovered that the
cider was entirely gone, but that the
hammer in its fight had taken in the
hanging shelf on which had reposed
twenty-five glass jars of preserves, and
rendered nineteen Of them, with their
contents, a heap of ruins.
The remarks Mr.. Coville designed de-
livering in high key of voice on dis
covering the loss of his cider were utter
ly submerged in the horror of the subse-
quent discovery, and he hastily hurried
up stairs and passed silently to bed. The
next morning he did not wait for break
fast, but was earlier at the store than he
had been in seven years, and remained
there until night. He rightly conjec-
tured that his wife's feelings on viewing
the preserve wreck would be too sacred
for observation.

SPAIN AND THE FAIR.
Little Cooperation Need be Expecte
From that Country.


MADRID, Jan. 16.-The energy and
activity of Mr.. Little, agent for the Chi.
cago Fair to the government and people
Of Spain, have so far been powerless TO
move the Spanish Government TO action
in behalf Of proper representation at an
event of such historical interest to the
Spaniards The nation seems paralyzed
with financial troubles, added to natural
inertia.
With army officers and soldiers, teach
ers and other public employees unpaid,
the government is bewildered by any
proposition for outside expenditure.
Every penny that comes into the treasury
is clamored for from a dozen sources,
The popular feeling is about the same
and it is feared that much cooperation
need not be looked for from traders and
manufacturers.
The country seems affected by a dry
rot, and pride seems to be all that has
survived decay AS an excuse for mac
tion it is alleged that there is some pique
in official circles over the non-arrival of
the American Commission which was
promised in November. This, however,
is but a pretext. The truth is that Off
cials, most of them with salaries long
overdue scowl at the idea of single
peseta going out of the treasury for any
purpose abroad.

National Gnme Matters.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. President Young
of the National League of Baseball Clubs,
says that the salary of baseball players
would be in accordance with contracts
made by them with the League and the
American Association before the present
scheme was adopted. In regard to the
complaints of a number of players who
were not assigned to some of the clubs,
Mr. Young says that there was not room
for all, and that the selections were made
in accordance with the preferences of the
clubs. AS each club could choose but
fifteen players, thus making total Of
1870 players required by the twelve clubs,
it was necessary to leave out a large
number OF tried and trusty ball players

SUES FOR S 100000.
The Sensational Case of Lawyer Bowman

The Sensational Case of Lawyer Bowman
Against DIR. c. Ellsworth Hewitt,
New YoRK, Jan. 1G.-Dr G. Ellsworth
Hewitt has been arrested here and i'm
prisoned pending the outcome of a suit
brought against him by John O. Bowman,
a Philadelphia lawyer, for the sum of
100000 Bowman alleges that Hewitt
while attending his wife, formerly Miss
Nellie Baekus, of Holyoke Mass, drugged
and outraged her, and when she revived,
so worked upon her fear that she did not
dare divulge his brutal conduct.
Mr. Bowman further alleges that DR.
Hewitt not long thereafter administered
an overdose of morphine with intent,
and would administer no antidote until
the woman promised to elope with him.
They fed to Europe, where Hewitt's s
brutality compelled the woman to seek
aid from the American CONSUL who sent
her back to America again. Hewitt soon
after returned and is now in prison.

Mr.. CovIIle Taps His CIder.

When Mr. Coville got home at tea
time Saturday evening he found that
an ordered barrel of cider had been de-
livered, and was now in the cellar.
After supper he went down to tap it,
His wife carried the light, and Master
Coville added the attraction of his per.
sonal appearance to the procession. Mr.
Coville, armed with a faucet and 2
hammer, approached the barrel. Mrs
Coville held the light in the usual man
ner, that is, SO as to shut out every
body's view but her own from the de-
sired point. Master Coville stood by
the side of his mother, hanging to her
dress and greedily taking in the pro
ceedings. 1t was a delicate operation.
AS the head of the house proceeded in
the task the attention of the observers
grew more and more intense. Gentle
taps with the hammer, alternating on
each side of the plug, loosened it gradu-
ally but surely. When it was sufficient
ly loosed to be drawn out by sharp
wrench of the hand, Mr.. Coville pro-
ceeded to give it the wrench in question,
but was somewhat anticipated by the
plug itself, which, suddenly leaving the
barrel and plunging into Mr., Coville's
waistband, was immediately followed
by tremendous burst Of cider. As the
plug struck him Mr.. Coville was in
clined To double forward, but was al
once diverted from this purpose by the
cider, and went over on his back in
stead, throwing the hammer impulsively
and dragging down Mrs. Coville spas
medically
The extinguishing of the light in the
descent lsft the family in total dark
ness, relieved only by the gasping
sounds of Mr. Coville, the means of
Mrs. Coville and the indignant cries of
Master Coville.

narrowing Tale of Captain Davis, of the
Bark Arlington.
New YORK, Jan. 16. ACaptain Davis OF
the Nova Scotian bark Arlington, which
arrived at Quarantine from Cork early
in the evening, relates a story of suffer
ing at sea. On Christmas day he ex-
perienced a severe northwest gale and
on the night of the 29th he fell in with a
wreck which showed evidences of per-
sons on board. He stayed alongside the
wreck all night and in the morning took
off the Captain and ten of the crew.
They proved to be Captain p 7. Doble
and crew of the British bark Countess
of Dufferin, which sailed from St. Johns
N. b., on December 8. The wrecked yes
sci had been in the same gale which
Captain Davis had encountered on De-
cember %. She had filled up and be-
come total wreck
They had suffered severely flor the
cold and were without food or water,
having only the clothing they stood in,
until taken off by the Arlington S
people.
Captain Doble and his crew were badly
frostbtten. On January the ship
wrecked men were transferred to the
British steamship Yesso, bound from
Sunderland for Baltimore

RUSSIAN RELIEF.
Embarrassment that is Caused by tn,
Shelving of the Resolution.

Embarrassment that is Caused by the
Shelving of the Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Many members
of the House are embarrassed by the Rus
sian relief resolution, which is still in
the air, or at least indefinitely postponed.
They are very anxious that the action of
the House the other day in refusing an
appropriation shall not be construed by
the Russian Government as an indication
of the lack of friendly feeling and SYM
pathy.
Still, there are enough members who
are opposed to the appropriations of pub
lie money for such purposes to prevent u
reconsideration of the action taken sew
eral days ago. 1t is asserted that had no
such resolution been introduced the
people by private contribution would
have before this time contributed, and
the desired relief would have been Sc
cured through the Red Cross Society; but
the doubt in which the public are left by
the situation of the matter in Congress
interferes with the work, and the fact
that Congress has touched the matter at
all, without accomplishing anything, is
felt to have subjected the country to the
suspicion of lack of generosity
1t is proposed, therefore, to withdraw
the original proposition, and to pass a
resolution with preamble reciting what
is being done through the Red Cross SO
ciety, and expressing sympathy for the
Russian people, but declaring that it is
against the principles of our constitution
to appropriate money from the public for
such purposes, and at the same time ex-
pressing confidence in the generosity of
the people Of this country being equal to
the occasion. This, it is declared, would
give encouragement ia the efforts of the
Red Cross society and make clear the
attitude of this country.

THE DOG WAS ASTONlSHEp,

And So Was the Actor, Who Thought TIo
"Had 'IGm Again"
II once played cruel joke on John
English, one Of the old stock actors that
have now about disappeared from the
STAGE" said Robert Stevenson TO the
Story-Tellcrs' club, that was killing
time in the corridors of the Lacledc,
says the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
John was great lover Of practical
joke, and several times made me tho
victim. Ono season he was doing tho
smaller cities with rip Van Winl,le,'
and had with n beautiful white dog that
had played Schneider. l got hold of
Schneider one night when John was
playing at Brownsville, Tex, to q
packed house and painted him all the
colors of the rainbow. Rip did not SEQ
Schneider until he obedicntly trotted
upon the stage. When he caught sight
of his dog he did not at once recognize
his faithful companion, and, being a
very nervous man, grabbed q chair,
;prang to. the far side cf the stage, and
jtood on the defensive. Schneider
:ealized that something was wrong and
went crawling to his master on his
stomach. The actor thought st some
kind of Il wild animal that WAS about to
spring upon him, and, throwing the
chair ut Schneider, was about to rush
off the stage. The dog emitted plain
live ki-yi and English stopped, looked
1T him, advanced to the footlightS, and
said imprcssfvely: I'll whip the coyote
that made an Italian sunset of that
dog" ,,.......F
