what Did He Start with?

A certain tippier recently went to the
landlord Of a h otel where-he was known and
said: 'If you lend me as much money as
have on me, I shall spend sixpence with
you.''
The landlord lent him as requested, and the
tippicr had his sixpeuce worth of liquor.
Then be went to a second hotel-keeper with
the same request, and obtained loan, and
consequently his sixpence worth. The op-
Grafton was repeated at third hotel, and
getting his sixpence worth there he had
nothing left.
Can any reader tell how much money the
tippler had before he got q loan from the
first hotel disqualification Telegraph.

Murderer's Mental Condition.

My fe Deftrreu 10 ENHmfne IntO the
Murderer's Mental Condition.
Minneapolis, Mlnn., Dec. IA great many
people expect that Gov. Clough viii, some
time today, sign the death warrant for
Harry Hayward.
Two petitions have been In circulation
one by medical men certifying that the
prisoner is insane; the other by the father
OF the condemned.
Neither has received many signatures
They were presented to the governor this
morning. Ii is not believed that they Will
have any weight and the governor Is not
expected to show any cIemency.
W. W. Hayward and his wife, father and
mother OF Harry Hayward, are at the
capitol this morning waiting to See the
governor. At noon they had not OBJ
tained an audience with his excellency.
1t is believed by some that the death
warrant will not be signed today, but
that the governor will appoint committee
to examine into Harry'S sanity.

Would Not he Emhalmed.

Mrs. Joseph Remenski, Wilkesbarre
Pa, widow. died, as it was supposed, the
other day, and was laid out to be enIba lined.
The moment the syringe touched the flesh
the corpse opened its eyes and sat up After
gazing in astonishmcnt at the horror
stricken undertakers an instant she began
to shrek. and the three men who were
present took to their heels.
Two blocks away they began to recover
their selr-possession and then ran for q
doctor.
Meanwhile the children, who had been
weeping in another part of the house, heard
the shrieks and rushed into the improvised
operating room. For a moment they were
no less terrified than the undertaken. Then
all began to weep for Joy and embrace their
mother, who had come to life again.
After the first expressions of surprise and
Joy the woman was dressed and helped into
her bedroom She would not speak to the
undertaken when he returned with physt-
clan, but to the doctor said she felt well
enough, but very weak. He gave her some
stimulauts.. and this evening said she
would be able to leave her bed.
The physician says that 1t was a case of
suspended animation The woman is about
forty-five years of age, and has always been
in good health. The affair has aroused
much interest.

yoIce Heard EiChteen Miles a way.

Eighteen miles is the longest distance
OH record at which a mans voice has been
heard. This occurred in the Grand Canon
of the Colorado, where one man shouting
the name of Bub'at one end, his voice was
plainly heard at the other end, which is
eighteen miles away.
Lieut.. Foster, an Peary's third arctic
expedition, found that he could converse
with a man across the eharbIr ofPort Bowen,
a distance of 6,6S6 feet, or about one mile
and n quarter and Sir John Franklin said
that he conversed with ease at q distance
more than a mile.
DR.. Young records that at Gibraltar
the human voice has been heard at a dis
tance OF ten miles. Sound has remarkable
force in water. Culladon, by experiments
made in the Lake of Geneva, estimated that
a bell submerged i'll the sea might be heard
at distance of more than sixty miles.
Franklin says that he heard the striking
together of two stones in the water half
a mile away.
Over water or a surface uf ice sound Is
propagated with greater clearness and
strength. Dr. Hutton relates that on a
quiet part of the Thames, near Chelsea,
he could hear person read distinctly at
the distance OF 140 feet, while away from
the water the same could only be heard at
seventy-siX feet
Persons in a balloon can hear voices from
the earth a long time after they themselves
are inaudibie to people below.

pla yers, including the keeper OF properties,
slipped away and left him alone on the stage

THE CUBAN REBELLION.

Cuba is not far away, but it appears
practically impossible to get any trust
worthy information in regard 60 the pro-
gress of the insurrection. Gen. Campos a
short time ago reported to his govern
ment that the rebellion was small
affair and that he had plenty of troops to
subdue it, but if the report of decisive
defeat Of the Spanish forces which
comes by way of Florida has any con-
siderable measure of truth in it Campos
would seem either to have been mistak-
en-, or to have deliberately m1srepresent-
ed the situation for effect. So far rs ap-
pears the rebellion is confined chiefly to
the eastern part of the island, with it's
headquarters at Santiago de Cuba, but
there is uneasiness all over the island,
and few victories on the part of the
insurgents might provoke general out
break. The warfare carried on by the
Insurgents up to recent date at least
has been largely of the guerrilla variety,
but on that very account it is much
harder for the Spanish troopsato put it
down. Apparently at the time of the
recent battle, assuming the accounts OF
it to be true, there had been some con-
centration of the insurgent forces. One
of the worst foes the Spaniards have to
meet is the yellow fever. 1t played sad
havoc with their troops in the last rebel
lion, and it can be depended on now if
theEinsurrcetion is not speedily put down
to decimate the ranks of Campos's army.
These Cuban rebellions are apt to lin
ger a long time. The last one lasted ten
years, and drained the resources of the
home government, though Spain's f1nan-
cial condition was then much better
than it is now. Spain will not let Gu ba
go, however, until it is actually COM
PEELED to. All parties are agreed that
the Queen of the Antilles must be held
on TO at any cost. There is therefore
every prospect of a very long struggle.
with chances in favor of Spain's crush
ing the rebellion in the end, though at
great cost of blood and treasure.
And when it is crushed it will not stay
crushed, for no people Can long endure
the tyrannical rule which Spain gives
Cuba. Possibly conciliation could be
effectually used, if Spain were in con-
dition to employ it, but Cuba is her
chief source of revenue and she must
squeeze it.

There seems to be no room for doubt
ing that Judge jackson voted to sustain
so much at least of the income tax law
as was not overthrown by the first decis-
ion, but there are ruomrs that one of the
justices who voted for constitut1onality
after the former hearing changed his
vote at the consultation last Saturday and
voted on the other side. If this be SO
then the law is overthrown, but the
rumor rests on no very substantial oasis.
and the chances are that the public will
not certainly know the fate of the law
until the courts decision is formally
announced next Monday. 1t can be set
down as pretty certain that the law will
not survive the next Congress in its
emasculatad shape, for, as Senator Brice
says, as the court has left it it is salts
factory neither to Repu blicans, Demo
Gratis nor Populists.

The Helpful Science, by st. George
Mivart, F. rs. is a treatise or group
of essays on philosophy. So simple,
moderate. thoughtful and leisurely : is
the work that casual reader might
und errate its able character and its re-
serve force. 1t is especially welcome at
Just this time, when all sorts of extraor-
dinary methods of thought prevail and
when the reason" is one thing accord
ing to Kidd and quite another according
to the Interpretation of most of US. more
or less outside the strictly scientific
guild. Here is an author not outside the
scientific circle who makes reason an
swer to very deficient definition and
who believes that its right use will lead
the individual to recognition Of the su-
pernatural as certain to his conscious
ness as color or sound to his senses. Nor
does he employ the term Supra natural"
nor think it a necessary alteration in
terms. "If man doUbt whether there
is such thing as rational speech, or
whether words can be used twice over by
any two people in the same sense, then
plainly we cannot profitably argue with
surdity we cannot refute him, it is no
less plain that he cannot defend his scep-
ticism. We're he to attempt to do so
then he would show, by that very at
tempt that ne really had confidence in
reason and in language, however ne
| might verbally deny it,
The author defends Intellectualism as
against Sensism. "But in fact there ia
| nothing we can perceive which exists
apart from everything or absolutely-as
| it is, in my opinion, very absurdly called
Everything which exists always exists
in some state or condition, and stands
in some definite relation to other things.
| Small wonder then if we do not know
things in a way in which they never dc
and probably never can exist; that is,
'unmodified' and 'unrelated.' We car
know nothing by itself for the very gooo
reason that nothing exists by itself.
Therefore it is not at all wonderful if We
only know ourselves in connection
with our various feelings or vice
versa. "Love is the noblest
most self-sacr1icing, most tender, YET
most strong, energetic and unfinchine
of all human energies, and it is thai
which binds us to all that is most ad
mirable and beautiful in aspect, charac
ter and conduct. May we not then be
lieve that through it we reach the trues

mate creative purpose of the Divine
First Caase-an analogy perceptible tt

The Reichstag has followed up its re-
lection of the anti-revolution bill by re-
iecting by almost as emphatic vote the
tobacco bill, which was revenue meas
ure designed to raise funds to pay for the
additional military equipment asked by
the government. The Reichstag which
has rejected these measures, was elected
for the purpose of passing them, and
was doubtless friendly to the second
one at least until the dictatorial speech
of Won Koeller. the minister of in
terror, was made in it's presence.
The rejection of the bills is sort oi
declaration of independence Oh the part
of the peoples representatives, and ought
to remind the Emperor that parliament
tary government in Germany is still in
existence and must be reckoned with
even by the war lord"

The President is anxious to court mar
regard to the administration, but there
is going to be great difficulty in getting
the proof necessary to convict him. AS
no man can be required to testify against
himself Admiral Meade cannot be COM
PEELED to affirm or deny the accuracy of
the New York Tribune's interview with
him, and as a civilian cannot be COM
PEELED to testify before a court martial
neither the editors nor the reporters of
the Tribune can be examined unless they
are willing to testify voluntarily, some
thing that it is not expected they will be
anxious to do. The President can place
him on waiting orders, which would
carry a reduction of pay, and can repri-
mand him, and il is probable, if no way
can be devised by which the needed evil
dence can be got before court martial,
one or the other of these things will be
done. The administration is very angry
with Meade, whose allusion to rebels is
regarded as a direct attack upon Secre-
tary Herbert, who was in the Confeder-
ate army. Friends of Admiral Meade,
while not defending his structures on the
administration, say that he has been
nagged and humiliated by the admins
tration, and that his outburst was the
result of state OF feeling for which the
administration is responsible.

WEDNESDAY, MAY Is.

The request of Minister Haselton that
he be furnished with copy OF the
charges preferred against him, on ac-
count of which he has been requested to
resign, seems reasonable enough. The
case has become SO generally known
that resignation would be regarded as
public confession of either incapacity or
imnroper conduct and under these Cir
cumstances it would seem only fair to
give him chance to be heard. There
is little likelihood, however. that he
will be given an opportunity to make
any defence.

Portland Railroad
Company.

Deliverable and payable on or before
June 1st, 1895.
Price 105 and interest yielding net
return of about 4b per cent? subject to
advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May 1st, 1898,
payable without option twenty years af-
ter date, with interest at Al per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days Of May and November;
principal and Interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
OF the total authorized mortgage,
$1S0O00 bonds are already outstanding,
and $220,000 will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; of this S220,00O, we shall receive
for delivery $4,000 on or before June
1st, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no move of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1850, and is perpetual. This
mortgage is first lien on all the fran
chises, rights and property Gncluding
real estate and equipment) situated in
the Cities of Portland, Deering and
Westbrook.
The length of track is 2O.14 miles,
making Luo DOnu6u luueDbeuuoSS lSSS
than $4,000 per mile.
The earnings for 1894 were as fol-
lows
Gross, s2o7, ,552 20
Expenses and taxes, 9,979. 76
Net, s37,572. AZ
Interest, S,622.3 "a
Surplus, $2S, $50 0S
It will be noticed first, that the operat-
ing expenses, which included 2 new cars,
motors, 1 snow plough, l mile new
track, etc., were over so per cent of the
gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus
this new block of 1920, 900, taoice over.
1t is conservatively estimated that the
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the
whoIe indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at lis to l20 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
| is over $75, 900.
| An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1895. over what the same
would have cost in 1892, is at least $3.50 000
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $4,000 of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as particularly choice invest
ment, returning a better income than
any other home security OF similar
standing.

voys Of China and Japan have complet-
