Joseph Jefferson, the actor, was once
asked to spend a week with Scotch
peer. Among the guests was bril-
liant and hearty lady who was the
daughter of an earl.
'I suppose" said Mr.. Jefferson,
there must have been something in my
American manner that amused her, for
she made a dead set at quiZzing me. l
did not detect it at first and answered
some of her absurd questions about
America quite innocently.
'She kept her face so well that 1
might never have discovered this but
for the idiotic grin upon the smooth face
of one of her admirers; and then l felt
that, for the honor of my country, if she
made another thrust at me would par
ry it if l could. I had not long to wait,
for emboldened by her late success, she
turned upon me and said:
"'By the by, have you met the queen
lately?'"
No, madam replied with perfect
seriousness; I was out when her maj
esty called upon me- She colored
slightly and then turned away and new
er spoke to me again; but I was re-
venged. ''-Pittsburg Dispatch.

why, never heard of one," said Mr..
Jamison. What are they?" asked Mrs.
Jamison. 'Why, house-hunter is one
who hunts houses" explained the land
lady. "You go to one and tell her what
you want and she does the rest. There
is a house-hunter who lives up in Pros
pect avenue. If you go and tell her
what you want she or her son will go
with you and get you just the very kind
of house you want. All you have to
do is to tell her the location in which
you desire the house, about the kind OF
house you want, and how much you
want to pay. They seem to have the
whole city right at command and no
sooner do you tell what you want than
there it is, all fitted out ready to move
into. I always get her to hunt houses
for me when want to move. You will
pay her 81 and then she gets q commits
sion from the other end as well. She
has a sort of understanding with all Of
the real estate dealers in the city. Some
times she gets 81 and sometimes as
high as $40 from the dealer, according
to the drive and kind of a house. She
told me all about it one day. When her
husband died she did not know what
to do. She tried to hunt up little cot
tage that would fit her means, just as
you did. Then she saw what hard
work it was. She would go to dealer.
just as you did and get long list OF
houses and then start and try to get
one that would fit. She said that when
she was riding along she would see
hundreds of houses such as she wanted
but none of them seemed to be on the
list. Then she thought what nice
thing 1t would be if one could have
some one to hunt house for one, and
out of it grew the business which she
has been engaged in ever since. She
finally found house such as suited her
and then she went to real estate
agent, one of the biggest in the city,
and asked him what he would give her
if she would find tenants for his houses.
He told her and she went to another.
Finally she got rates from all the deal
ers and also got list of the houses.
Then she began to study the houses,
the streets and the city. After awhile
she got them all 50 that she knew them.
She knows about every rentable house
in the city and how much it will rent
for. Then she began to study human
nature and, by fitting people to houses
and houses to people, she finally got so
she could find just the house person
wanted in half day."

Doolin, the Outlaw Tired of His
Life of Crime.
Would Like a Light Sentence tt
Call It Off With.
Is READY TO QUIT.
Trying to Make an Arrange
ment with Officers
That will Give Him a Chance
For an Honest Life.

PERRY, Okla, Dec. 27.-ConsIderable
excitement was created here yesterday
when it was announced that Bill
Doolin, formerly leader of the noted
Dalton gang of outlaws, was in Perry
and that his mission here was to make
peace with the officers and give him
self up, provided a sentence could be
agreed on. It is said that Doolin was
accompanied by Bill Carr, who is an
escapee from Oklahoma City. Carr
has big reward hanging over him,
and has skipped $4,000 bond. He is
charged with being an accessory to the
murder of Chief of Police Jones, which
occurred some months ago. Doolin, in
an interview, says he is tired of an
outlaws life and wants to atone for all
his misdeeds by working it out in a
short term in the penitentiary.
Doolln was leader of the Dalton
gang for years, and is said to be one
of the most desperate men that ever
lived in Oklahoma. Ten months ago
he was shot through the leg by dep
uty marshal, and the wound came
near killing him. He has made many
overtures of late to Oklahoma officers
for a compromise sentence for his
crimes, and it is thought that it will
be effected soon.

HAVANA, Dec. 27.-Since the arrival
here of Captain General Martinez de
Campos from Matanzas he has been
in conference with leading military
and naval officers, the civil dignitaries
and the leaders of the different polit-
zeal parties. They assembled at the
palace and in the course of a number
of patriotic speeches pledged their I'M
conditional support to the government
in its efforts to suppress the insurrec-
ton and promised to do everything
possible in the way of moral and
actual assistance.
News from the front seems to be in
terrupted by rail and telegraph and
no information was obtainable con-
corning the movements of the insur-
gents.
The absence of news of the move
ments of the insurgents is causing sore
anxiety among their friends here, but
they claim Gomez and Maceo are in
possession of the railroad and tele-
graph lines, and that it was with diff
feulty that Campos succeeded in
reaching Havana Be that as it NAV,
the only news obtainable is that fur
nished by rumor, and if the authori-
ties are in possession of any additional
facts all such matter is carefully sup
pressed.
In the meanwhile active prepare
tons are being made here for the de-
Tense, and forwarding to the front all
troops which can be spared. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Spanish columns in
the rear of the insurgent army have
been ordered to concentrate as quickly
as possible on the frontier of Matan-
zas, and that every effort is to be
made to prevent the retreat of the
Cubans in Santa Clara. While these
preparations are being made to
apparently stop the insurgents
from escaping back into Santa
Clara, the fortifcations of Havana are
receiving attention day aud night. A
mum Der of additional earthworks have
been thrown up during the last month,
and these are being hastily completed
and supplied with guns as rapidly as
possible The magazines are plenti-
fully supplied with ammunition, and
the outposts around Havana are being
strengthened and more securely forti-
fed.
Throughout the night and all dav
there has been an air of hurry and
anxiety at the different headquarters
here which does not seem to indicate
that the supreme authorities are in
any way satisfied that the insurgents
are retreating, and if military activity
goes for anything, the most determined
efforts were being made to prevent
surprise.
In order to enable as many troops
as possible to be sent TO the front, all
the marines and sailors who could be
spared from the Spanish feet have
been landed and the former are now
doing duty as artillerymen whenever
their services are needed. All the
volunteers available are under arms
and every man inhabitant capable of
doing active service or of finding some
body else to do it for him has, OF is
being called upon to bear arms.

Clerical Half Rates.

After January LIST next the eastern
railroads will again issue half-rate
tickets to clergymen and members Of
religious orders. This will undoubtedly
be good news to many ministers who
have been compelled to pay full fare.
About a year ago these roads were
forced to take steps to abolish this
privilege on account of the Wholesale
abuse of the courtesy, and the many i'm
positions practiced upon them. Now,
however, the eastern presidents arc
drawing up a new agreement to be dis
cussed at their conference next week.
The half-rate system will be adopted
again, but under the most careful re-
strictions. Under the new plan, it is
the purpose to establish bureaus in all
the principal cities, which shall receive
all applications, Investigate carefully,
and approve or veto the request before
sending it to the main office. This sys-
tenn has been in successful operation
among the western railroads for some
time.

WILL NOW PREACH.

c. H. STREET., Released From the Peniten-
tIary VIII Become an Evangelist.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec 2..-This
morning at 1901 o'clock, as the last
peals of the chimes in the tower of st.
Peters church rang out, c. H. STREET
stepped from the door of the Missouri
penitentiary into the bright glimmer
of an electric light, free man after
serving a two-years' sentence for
forgery. STREET, who is well known
in the western part of the state,
was formerly editor of the Sc
dalia Gazette. Drinking soon landed
him in the Jail at st. Joseph,
charged with having forged the name
of a prominent business man of that
place to note for small sum. He
was sentenced to the penitentiary in
July, 1891, for two years, and under
the two-thirds rule his time expired
to-day. STREET. will probably become
an evangelist, having been converted
in the st. Joseph Jail. He now de-
clares himself to be devout Christian
and believes he was sent to the peni-
tentinry by Divine Will to be convert
ed. He has friends in Kansas City
with whom he expects to visit several

Railway Building.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-According to the
Railway Age for December 81 railway
building in the United States reached
this year a lower point than in any of
the last twenty years, and in only two
years since 1865 has SO small a mileage
been built. The records for 1895 show
only 1,7s2 miles of track laid. In the
eight years since that time the de-
crease in construction has been great
and continuous, and this year the total
built was only about 100 miles more
than in the year 1S55-forty years ago.
The greatest amount of track laid was
in Texas, where 224 miles were put
down. In fifteen states no increases
whatever were made. The railways
of the United States on December 81
will aggregate little over 1s1 900
miles

Jury Was out Eight DAYS.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Dec 81. -
After being out eight days, the jury in
the case of A. w. Patswald, charged
with perjury, came into court with a
verdict of guilty. The penalty IS i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary for a
term not exceeding ten years. The
perjury was committed in a contest
case involving very valuable tract of
land near FL Reno. Fourteen other
witnesses in the same case have been
indicted for perjury. 1t is the conten-
ton of the Government that these fif-
teen persons entered into conspiracy
to swear each other in from the line,
when in fact they were all in the
country and on claims on the morning
of the opening, April 10, 1892.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 27.-The
body of Harry T. Hayward, the MUIR
derer of Catherine Cling, was taken
from it's temporary resting place in
the vault at Lakewood cemetery last
night and shipped to Chicago to be
cremated. Almost from the day when
the body was deposited in the vault,
the relatives of the dead man were
haunted by fears that it would be
stolen by body snatchers. 1t was
something more than a vague dread,
too, for evidences were discovered of
an intention to secure the body by
these ghouls. But whether it was
wanted for scientific purposes, or for
exhibition, could only be coniectured.

LONDON, Dec. 97.-Concerning the
tariff bill passed by the House, the
Standard says editoriolly:
The only consolation for the British
manufacturer is that no renewal of a
castiron protective policy can hold
sway in the United States very long.
There is no need for us to regard the
revival of McKinleyism as the death
knen of our industries, for these have
arisen triumphant above many a
worse thing. 1t is legitimate and fair
to tell the American people that they
cannot have more of our money while
their trade is conducted on such lines,
or while it remains impossible to know
whether their debts will be paid in
gold or paper.

ture plans for opposition Forty mem
bers, representing twenty-three States,
were present. Johnson of California
called the caucus to order. Mr.. Brod-
erick of Kansas, was elected chair
man, and Mr.. Colson of Kentucky, sec
rotary. The sentiment of the caucus,
as it was voiced in many speeches, was
in opposition to the issue of bonds in
time of peace, and that the green backs
ought not to be retired at least in the
manner prescribed by the bill. The
caucus chose a committee of seven to
confer with the Speaker and the COM
mittee on rules and ask for an extern
sion of the debate on the bill for two
or three DAYS.
