Rameau, the celebrated French

was 20 WELD the needle with which
she produced such delicate embroid-

from his pocket and directed her to

CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR.
A Little Dincuity Reported Between
Nic.ragua and Honduras.


The New York HtrdiTs special FROM Man
aqua, Nicaragua, January 3, says: The war
between Nicaragua and Honduras has begun
10 good earnest. Already Policarpo Bonllla,
leader OF the Honduran insurgents, has in
vaded Honduras from Nicaragua lines; has
captured the town Of Vuscaran, has set up a
provisional government In the town, and
President Zalay of Nicaragua has recognized
his authority.
The men Of Bonilla are now surrounding
Cholutoca and cutting OF communication
with the interior. They made a desperate
attempt to take Quartet, which was success
fully defended by General vilella General
Rosas was killed In this fight. The besieging
army has not given up hopes and will try 1t
again. They are encamped around the town
and are endeavorlng to starve out Vasquez's
troops.
President Vasquez's naughty challenge to
Nicaragua, in his decree of October 80, was
accepted by the Nicaraguan army, and they
decided to invade his territory and help
Bonilla and his Honduran rebels.
Three thousand Nicaraguan soldiers, COM
msnded by General Ortiz, occupied San Luis
aud Cycopino on December "a, awaiting
Vasquez and threatened invasion of Near
aguan soil.
Vasquez has reinforced his command by
pus, and a battle near Cholutoca seemed i'm
minent. The invaders are trying to get pos
session Of Amalapa, and in the meantime
Nicaragua is recruiting more troops TO send

Fight on Mrs. Lease.
An armistice has been declared between
Mrs. Lease and Governor Lewelling pending
an inquiry into the case by their mutual
friend, Judge Frank Doster.
Mrs. Lease determined to make a fight in
the Supreme court, and employed Eugene Ha-
gan, the well-known lawyer and Democratic
politician, to act as her counsel. Afterward,
they called Judge Doster into consultation,
and notified Judge Horton that they would
apply to his chambers Tuesday morning at
s O'Clock for an order restraining ]. w Free
born, the Governors appointee to succeed
Mrs. Lease on the State Board of Charities,
from attempting TO assume the duties of the
position.
Governor Lewelling declined to swerve from
his course, and notified the members of the
Board of Charities to assemble at Winfield at
drst call to do 80.
Then Judge Doster appeared in the role of
mutual friend, and is reported to have ad-
vised the governor that upon hasty examlna-
tion OF tht law the governor's removal Of Mrs
Lease would not stand the test Of the courts.
Having been thus informed, the governor
agreed to let the matter stand until n further
report from Judge Doster
Mrs Leases position seems to be sustaine ed
by Legislative act Of March 6, 1889, which
provides;

Mosquito Nets in war.


Speaking Of mosquitoes, said the
man on the yerauda, "there were is
sued to some OF the troops 10 certain
parts OF the south in the course Of the
civil war in this country, from 1861 to
1865, mosquito nets. which might be
called individual nets. for they were
one to person. The nets when set in
position were about feet long, 8 feet
high. and 5 feet wide. Tapes ran
along the top edges and extended in
loose ends at the four corners. When
the net was set up for use these corner
tapes we're tied around four sticks, lit
tie corner posts, driven into the
ground. 1t might to some seem anus
ing. the idea of issuing mosquito nets
to troops engaged in actual service;
they might think that men in constant
danger of being bitten by cannon balls
and bullets would have little fear of
mosquitoes. but this would be merely
the superficial view OF persons not
fully acquainted with the mosquito"

Z WAsANAKER ON THE TARIrF.--'
The psbgse~sfss s6thsg created 10
something just nov in the tariff
fight which is really sensational.
John Wanamaker, President Har-
rison's Postmaster General, is
spreading broadcast throughout the
country the most powerful argu-
ment in favor of the Democratic
side of the question which could
positively be framed. Voters want
facts and Mr.. Wanamaker is giving
them facts right from his own ex-
perience.
The new tariff has caused a drop
in price in good many necessaries
of life, many of which are sold at
Mr.. Wanamaker's store. and con-
sequently Mr.. Wanamaker's prices
have taken similar drop. Being
the best advertiser in the country
he is not hiding this fact from the
shopgoers and is parading it every
where in the most novel way.
He believes that the drop is be-
cause of the new tariff and says so.
For instance one of his advertise
ments reads as follows:
1T is surprising that anyone SUB
posed that the common people
Abraham Lincoln said it better
The Plain People'-could not
count for themselves. That re-
duced charges at the custom house
make no difference in prices! What
was the tariff fight il it were not to
put down prices. Five per cent. or
ten per cent. or twenty per cent.
less duty means something less in
cost. 1t dees not mean full 5, 10
or so per cent. less price because
the reduction is only on the Duties
paid. Whatever tits, however. that
part comes off the price. e.'-York
