Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. - ,.
BUZZARD'S BAY. Mass, September 20
President Cleveland will probably remain at
Gray Gables until about October 70. So
beneficial to his health is the outing here
proving that it has virtually been decided
to delay breaking up here until that time
unless executive business demanding an
earlier return or other unforeseen circum-
stances may arise to prevent such
plans. His physical condition is excellent,
his face is bronzed and the lassitude and
lack of vigor which marked the Presidents
appearance when he arrived here last month
has nearly, If not quite. disappeared. Mrs.
Cleveland has also wonderfully improved
by her long summer sojourn here Mr..
CleVeland's private secretary. Henry T.
Thurber, expects to depart from Marion
with his family on Friday next.

AUGUST FOR HEALTH.
It Must Be Whether You Take a
Vacation or Not.
Take Time Now to Strengthen
Nerves and Body.
See That Every Part of the Body
Becomes Well Fed.

Eleven months for business, for money
making, for absorbing work. Take Au-
gust for becoming strong and we'll.
Get back to your proper weight; relieve
the tired nerves of their irritability; ill
the body with ruddy, vigorous, service
able blood. You will work to twice the
purpose with clear head and body un-
disturbed by aches and pains.
Give Paine's celery compound a fair
trial in August.
Weariness and lack of strength is
matter of the nerves and brain. 1t is the
exhaustion of the nerve centers that pro-
duces the feeling Of lassitude and depres-
sion.
Digestion and assimilation are the first
to become affected by diminished nerve
power, aud as these functions are so
closely connected with every part of the
body the entire system shares in their
disorder. Men and women about middle
age take little exercise, their blood be-
comes slow and impure and all their i'm
portant organs sluggish, while q con-
stantly increasing load of anxiety and
care keeps their nerves from being prop
erly nourished. Such persons will hnd
steady gain in health, In vlgor and good
spirits from Paine's celery compound
taken steadily through the month of Au-
gust.
The reason for the high regard in which
Paine's celery compound is held by ply
sicians for building up the weak, the
sickly and the nervous, is because all its
ingredients are known to medical men 10
feed the nerves and to provide pure and
rich blood for all the weak parts of the
body. Every trace of nervous exhaus-
ton disappears when the nerves that gov
ern the functions of the body are thus
abundantly supplied with their appro-
pirate food.
The distur Dances of the nervous system,
whether neuralgia, rheumatism, debility,
extreme nervousness or heart trouble, are
due to arrangements in nutrition. Head
ache, sense of weight on top of the head,
a feeling of construction about the fore
head; these are very significant symp-
toms and should De needed, Better and
more complete nutrition is demanded for
the nerves and brain. Thin, pale faces,
wasted frames. unhealthy skin and low
spirits tell unmistakably OF blood too
thin and poor TO properly nourish the
body.
Paine's celery compound brings an in
creased, natural appetite, assists assinli-
lation of the food and quiets and restores
a healthy nervous action.

DONNA FELISA.

ICopyright. 1894, by Edgar L. Wakeman. All
rights reserved.
.sWe had just left noble mansion
upon the citadeled nights of Jesu del
Monte in Havana" began the Chronic
Traveller, throwing himself lszily upon
one OF the oaken settles beside our CHEEKY
fireplace.
sour aged host and hostess were still
waving us pleasant 'adios' from the pill
Jared portico, half hidden behind sur
passing wealth of tropical luxuriance, at
the end OF an avenue of lofty palms.
Before turning into the mountain calle
we seated ourselves beside a restful foun-
tain whose tremulous descending show
ers glittered like beads of gold through
the saffrony Cuban air.
There lay the quaint old city OF Ha-
vana beneath us like a shining nest
within its frowning battlements. Be-
yond, the sea, white with plumes of surf
at the shore, wondrous green beyond,
and bed of glowing purple beneath the
northern horizon.
'Old and venerable Don Miguel, my
friend and companion, in ruminative
mood, first broke the silence with. 'Ah,
strange are the unwritten romances OF
life! Who would credit our serene and
happy senior and sonora OF El Parislo,
this lovely paradise villa, with any lie
chapter that had not passed as sweetly
as the murmuring of this gentle foun-
taln2'
And so it came about that, still sitting
beneath the lofty palms by the songtuI
fountain IN the languorous Cuban air,
this true tale OF Donna Felisa was told"

A NAUTICAL VOCABULARY.

Additions Made by Young Women
From .'Fresh Water'' Regions.
The yachtsman's vocabulary is Lam
guage in itself, and the landsman often
runs afoul of 1t, says the New York
Times. He doesn't see why one rope
should be called a sheet, another a
halyard, third downhaul and
fourth a clewline. One boat-owner,
whose hospitable deck is trodden by
many of his friends, has modified his
terms to conform with the suggestions
or mistakes of his guests who are not ex-
pert sailors.
For instance, one landlubber, who had
gone below for drink OF water, was
asked what he had done with the cup.
Il hung it on the post" he said. inno-
Gently.
Every one rosred at the idea that he
could be so green" as not to know what
the mast was called, but on that yacht
the mast is now known as .'the post"
A pretty girl from a fresh water'' dis
trict was responsible for another nautical
word. The strips OF canvas used in tying
up the sails are called stops. Some one
wanted the stops and could not find them
for the instant.
"What are you looking for?" asked the
young woman.
'sI am looking for the stops. They
were here little while ago."
1.-THE stops? Oh, you mean the tapes.
They're under this rug.'
And now the sails arc bound with
'tapes."
Another young woman from an interior
State had read enough nautical stories to
have caught few phrases here and there.
For one thing, she know that hard
tack'' was staple article of diet at sea.
On visit to the East this damsei Went
sailing. She was anxious to learn, and
when she heard the man at the wheel say
"hard lee,n she asked some questions,
and found out what it meant
little later the steersman said the
yacht was going about Some Of the
guests were paying no attention, and
seemed in danger OF being struck by the
boom as it swept over to the other side of
the yacht.
ssHard tack hard tack l'' cried out the
young woman, excitedly.
All managed TO duck their heads in
time to escape the spar, if they didu't
know what the maiden meant by hard
tack, - and another joke was added TO the
yachts store of them.

little to choose between oil and pomade,
and pure olive oil, or lard which is abso-
lutely free from salt, if perfumed with a
few drops of altar of rose or berganot,
is probably as good as the most expen-
sive preparation. Rimmel recommends
wash of glycerine and lemon juice for
those whose hair is so oily that it needs
no unguentS.
Another authority advises only pure
CASTLE soap, little glycerine and lemon
juice water, the hair rinsed by degrees in
cold water, and dried in the sun rather
than by artificial heat. This in prefer
ence to the use of perfumed extracts, be-
cause of the drying qualities of the spir-
its in which all such must be distilled.

At the same moment this singular

contrabandists and pirates, under the

Pancho Marti, when be suddenly discov-

ward of $4,000 in gold for the capture of
Martl, the contrabandist, and have pro-
claimed a guaranty of pardon and pro-
lection to any one of his band who will
betray hiin?"
YES faltered the terrified Cuban
ruler.
THAT was months ago. No man lives
who dare attempt to earn that reward.
Marti has many ships and desperate men.
All your revenue cutters and men-of-War
have not suppressed him. He rules the
Caribbean. His chests hold more gold
than your treasury. Your adininistra-
ton is disgraced. Are the reward and
guaranty of protection meant by you in
good faith?''
"Certainlyi Are you one of Marti's
band?n
"Have patience. your Excellency. Sup
posing I were Marti himself?" Tacon
paled visibly at this. sWould this re-
ward and guaranty apply to me ?"
The Governor-General was overcome
and perpiexed. As the intruder had in

inability to cope with asingle pirate king.

Don Enrique, following his friends
looks and gestures of admiration to the
streams of carriages coming from the OPP
posite direction down the Prado, saw the
object of Count BasiPs exclamation, and
with that glance he lost his heart. for, at
the same moment. the most beautiful and
lovable senorita of all Cuba raised her
lustrous eyes to his own.
Involuntarily Don Enrique saluted her.
She turned away, but could not hide the
bushes of not displeased recognition
with which her face was suffused. Fol-
lowing the carriage at its side, a common
sight in Havana then, walked old To-
masa, looking adoringly into her former
mistress face. and Donna Felisa's gra-
cious hand rested kindly upon the shoul-
der of her former slave.
''Jesul-Maria! That dream of fair
women shall be mine!" passionately
cried Don Enrique to his companion,
searching the Counts eyes for respon-
sive accord and chivalrous protfers OF
assistance.

face, but he spoke no answering word to

Tacon paced the apartment for time
nervous and distraught. Finally, turn
ing to the mysterious stranger, he said:
And if this is granted, how can you
assure me Of your power to execute such
trust creditably to my Government and
to the public?"

Tacon was overwhelmed with the con-
seriousness of the tremendous concessions
granted, and the realization that he stood
defenseless and powerless before the
most dreaded and dangerous of men.
Noticing his alarm. Marti said, as he gave
his weapons to the astonished official:
preserve these as Inementos of an
easy conquest. Your excellency will ac-
cept the $4,000 in gold as first token of
Martrs friendship and loyalty. Much
more shall be at Tacon's command, that
he may make his administration greater
than that OF any other who ever ruled
Cuba!"
With this the famous pirate strobe out
of the palace.
Tacon saw that the sleepy guards who
had permitted the outlaw to pass them
were shot in the Plaza of Moro castle
within an hour, after which he enjoyed
the first nights peaceful sleep he had
ever known since he had become Gov
ernor- General of Cuba.
