In A FILTHY PRISON
An American WrOngfully De-
tanned by the Cuban Authorities.
An Opportunity for the Monarchy-Lov-
ing Gresham to Right a Wrong and
Demand ReparatiOn.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE World this
morning prints a letter received from p.
C. Oglesby, who states that he is undergo
ing confinement in the Royal prison at Ha-
vana. where he was placed without trial
and without the prospect Of one for
months to come. The charge against him,
he says, was .'~assaulting the mil. cary DO
lice" Proceeding. Oglesby says: "Tn sim
pie facts in the case are that on the even
ing of Oct. %, about 10 o'clock, 1 was as
saulted by two soldiers of the Orden Pub
lie military police, who bound my arms
behind my back, ransacked my pockets,
dragged me before an officer and preferred
a charge against me for assaulting them.
By some means the fact Of my arrest had
reached the American consulate, and about
an hour after my arrival at the prison I
was visited by a Spaniard who informed
me that he was a clerk of the consul-gen-
eral. That functionary took ,down my
statement, took my passports and babe me
goodbye. / have never heard from him
since or from the consulate. Meanwhile I
am confined in a ward with twenty-four

way from fraud to murder. For a bed
there are soft granite flags. Twice daily

There are present any amount OF vermin
and filth, to be expected under such cir
cumstances.
Perhaps if the press of America calls
the attention of the State Department to the
outrage. and to the fact that similar out
RACES are frequently committed upon Amer
lean citizens visiting Havana, there might
be something done. There is now confined
in the same ward with myself a young
American named Harry Howard, a native
of Boston, who has been waiting trial for
five months, with no prospect of getting
one in the near future. The charge against
him is aggression de fuerza armada The
fact is that he defended himself when at
tackled by four soldiers.

Washington Post.
There Was CONSERVATION in the office
of Secretary Tindell at the district
building Tuesday. 1t was caused by
the pranks of a thermometer. The
blizzard had struck the city, and 1t was
whispered that the temperature was
very different outside the comfortable
office of the building. DR.. Tindall
wanted to get it.
He hung a little tin thermometer some
one had sent him as a Christmas gift
Just outside the window. The wind was
high. The thermometer kept dropping
till it fell to the alley below. ii was
picked up by one, of the pickaninies
and again hung OIL the WindOW-faclng
outside. All the boys gathered round
the window to watch the thermometer.
1t was u deg inside. Then the biz
card struck the thermometer it began
to drop again.

"NoW it's 50 deg" said Clifford How

Williams.

Campbell.

''BY the powers, It's down to 10 deg"
shouted Dan Curry.

lessly Dan continued.
The office was knocked gally west.
Campbell had a buck ague. Williams
swore at the heaterman till the temper
atura was raised Clifford Howard tried
to pacify the boys by repeating one OF
his poems on summer. Myers swore in
German, but it all did no good.
DR.. Tindall frantically rushed to the
telephone and shouted: "Six-eighty-
three, central; quick, be in a hurryw
then to Mrs. Tindall: ''Shnt off the
water from the pipes and send for a
plumber"
In the meantime Dan Curry had taken
the little TIN thermometer in out of the
cold, and found that the instrument
registered 40 deg below.
The tube had been broken by the fall
and the mercury had all leaked out.

AN ELEPHANTS SUNsHADE.

He Covers His Back With Grass or
Hay in Hot Weather.
Meredith Nugent, in February st. Nicholas,
On hot summer days in New York,
when the mercury is we'll up In the
nlneties. it becomes almost necessity
to carry an umbrella, or shade Of some
kind, to protect ourselves from the
burning rays of the sun. We should
hardly expect, however, a native OF
India-reSiding in this city-to have the
same need for a sunshade, particularly
when the native is huge Indian ele.
plant. That ansaelephant should feel
the heat in our climate seems rather
absurd, but as he does, it is quite i'll
keeping with the general intelligence
of this animal that he should invent
some means of protecting himself
from 1t.
The elephant Enclosure in Central
park contains no trees nor shade or any
kind. and on those hot days when the
heat is almost unbearable, 1T seems not
ter than any place in New YORK.
Grouped around the Enclosure are usu-
ally scores of persons, many with sun
shades and umbrellas, intently watch
ing the elephants. Some of the huge

whose backs are almost COW
cred. may be seen peacefully rest
ing. Newly mown grass is what the
elephant prefers Tor this purposet-per-
haps because it feels cooler than hay
but hay answers the purpose very well.
how many visitors to the park on these
warm days have realized that they were
not the only ones carrying sunshades,
and that the elephants were protecting
themselves in like fashion?
The fact that elephants never attempt
to thatch their backs with hay during
the winter, although the same oppor-
tunlties for doing so exist, seems TO
prove that they use the hay as protec-
ton from heat. They may spOrtively
throw little hay about, but nothing
more. However,, in fiy-time, there are
good and sufficient reasons for the anil
mails adopting the same means OF de-
Tense again; therefore. when the flies
are fierce, the elephants cover their
huge backs as on hot summer days.

SHANiMlNG SUICIDE.
Badische Press.

Badische Press.
A young married man at Winnweiler
had got to wondering if his wife really
loved him and whether she would
weep and lament If lie happened to die.
Unable to find satisfactory answer to
the problem, he decided to put the mat
ter to practical test. His better half
returned one afternoon from visit to
neighbor, little dreaming of the scene
of horror that awaited her. stepping
into the room, she started back, uttering
a loud scream, for there, stretched upon
the bed, lay her husband, with his face
all splashed with blood and beside him
the murderons weapon.
Az her cries and lamentations the
neighbors flocked into the house, heard
the dreadful news and pitied the sor
rowing widow. All at once, however,
the dear lamented one sprang from the
bed. .well and hearty" clasped his de-
spairing wife in his arms and said:
Here you have me again. l am not
dead. | only wanted to see if you would
weep when | had gone"
And in order to produce this effect he
had besmeared his face with the juice
of beetroot, laid the pistol beside him,
and awaited the return of his wife with
closed eyes and open mouth. The police
are now going to bring him up for Gre
ating disturbance.

Said very stylish girl the other day
I'm cur hearing: II have no aspirations
IN the literary line myself; the speci-
mems of dOwdy looking women with &c
centric manners and extraordinary hob
bieS who posed as journalists and nov
elists that | have met have cured me
completely of any desire to be other
than well-dressed, happy creature,
who prefers bOnnetS TO brains and a
new gown to the chance of 4 career"
We didn't know this young person or
we would have walked up boldly, and
firmly though politely have informed
her that she was very much mistaken.
OF course the short-haired feminines
and the lomg-haired masculineS, who
profess te be of the literary type, are a
dTeadfully misleading set, but as far as
a somewhat varied experience goes we
have discovered that the brightest
women, as q rule, are the best gowned.
You need not be eccentric in order to
appreciate all that is highest and best
in literature and arr, Your gowns can
fit just as well. even though sou do earn
your living by your pen, and if you wish
TO prove that this statement is correct
peep in ON Sorosis some time when that
Rmiable body has under discussion some
especially abstruSe topics, and you will
discover that those women who argue
most ably are those who are the most
up to date in their attire. The idea that
an untidy. specialized and boldly aggres
sIve person is the true type of woman
Of brains, should be crushed out once
and forever, for one need not be one
whit less feminine or less fond of all the
daintineSs that others of her sex delight
in, because she shows that her mind is
the equal of mans and in many cases
its superior, writes bright woman in
the Philadelphia Times.
1t does seem a bit odd to hear any one
talking such nonsense in these enlight-
ened days. can we'll remember that
that was the sentiment, in the masculine
mind at least, in regard to literary
women when | was young. And before
that the prejudice against blue stock
ings." as they were called, was even
greater. / heard 4 bright old lady who
was relative Of two presidents

OF course the Revells, the Munsons,
the Robinsons, were so shocked and so
expectant of the dissolution which would
DO yet more shocking. But they wore
disappointed, their finest senSibllitleS
we're outraged; for on the home hearth
of the Mnturns the pure, cherishing fires
continued to burn. So they shrugged
their shoulders and turned their atten-
ton to other more promising infamles,
cOndemning poor ella as an unwomanly
woman. Nor did they ever suspect
thence there was waste of enjoyment,
that sometimes, when alone by that home
hearth, this unWomanly woman wept
softly, as one without hope.
