a Quarrel by Cable.

The cable was once the medium for
lovers quarrel, which took place be-
tween lady in New York and gen.
tleman in France. The heroine was no
other than that divine French artistic
whose genius we all admire. The gen.
tleman was a dramatic author, now no
more. This curious quarrel took place
one Sunday, the cable being joined
through direct 1t bristled with passion
ate reproacLes, bitter, singing sarcasms,
couched in picturesque French. The
scene was intensely dramatic. Both the
actors, so near and yet SO far, trembled
with jealous passion as their bitter sar-
casms were flashed through the coils OF
this gigantic sea serpent. Mutual COM
plants, reproaches and threats contin-
ued, until last stinging sarcasm from
France reduced the excitable artistic tc
a state of nervous excitement which cul
minated in Mysteries. The cable wal
then restored to its normal condition
and the artistic to her senses. -Londor

HAWAII, THE BEAUTIFUL.

The cocoa, with its crest Of spears,
Stands sentry round the crescent shore;
The alge )ba, bent with years,
Keeps watch beside the lanai door;
The cool wind fans the mango's cheek;
The mynah fits from tree to tree.
And zephyrs to the roses speak
Their sweetest words at Waikiki.
Like truant children Of the deep
Escaped behind coral wall,
The lisping wavelets laugh and leap
Nor heed old oceans stern recall.
All day they frolic with the sands,
Kiss pink Tipped shells in wanton glee,
Make windrows with their patting hands
And, singing, sleep at Waikiki.
o Waikiki o scene Of peaeei
o home Of beauty and Of dreamsl
No haven in the isle of Greece
Can chord the harp to sweeter themes
For houris haunt the broad lanais,
While scented zephyrs cool the lea.
And looking down from sunset skies
The angels smile on Waikiki,

Thought He Was Beocher.

When Henry Ward Beecher was at
the height of his career, there were a
few men who resembled him near
enough to be able to duplicate him in
public. Among these was Judge -
of Buffalo, who sometimes found the
likeness a source of annoyance. AT one
time the Judge was travelling with a
party of ladies who were under his care.
He gallantly ascribed the atteIaion he
received to them, but on an occasion
when he retired to the smoking car the
riddle was solved. The moment he left
the parlor car couple of strange men
hurried in, and after apologizing to the
ladies for the intrusion asked very ear
nestly if the gentleman in their company
were not Mr.. Beecher. Upon being as
sured that he was not, one man turned
to the other, and handing him roll Of
bills said:
"Take them; you've won." Then,
turning to the ladies. he explained, u
bet 500 that your friend was Mr.
Beecher, and I've lost" And he fol
lowed his companion from the car. Th'
Judge laughed heartily when told OF th'
/ incident and said it was not the frs
time that another mans greatness hat
been thrust upon him. Detroit Free

One night Clarence plucked up cour-
age and called at the aristocratic Muir

feet. Then he was ushered into the
proud butchers presence.

Picardy, France, about 81 years ago,
When mere child, she displayed an

but it is said that Francis G. Newlands,
the millionaire congressman Mt large OF
Nevada, is seriously thinking of becom-
inp purchaser. This dukedom carries
with it large estate in middle Italy, near
the holdings Of the Duke of Tuscany,
and the present duke has become so
weary of wearing his coronet that he is
perfectly willing to exchange it for q
plain American straw hat providing said
hat has cool million of dollars tucked
away inside the band. The dukedom is
offered for sale ON the bargain counter
of Andrew Sbarbaro and General W, ii.
L. Barnes of San Francisco, and it is
said that Newlands is going to Italy to
look the goods over before he makes his
decision.
If Newlands becomes duke. Nevada
will probably lose the only congressman
she possesses. He is native of Natchez,
Miss, and was born Aug. 2S, lS4S. Hi
entered the class of 'G7 ut Yale and re
mained in the university until the mid
die of his Junior year. Strongly attracted
toward the law, Newlands removed tt
Washington, where he attended the Co
lumbar College Law school and wa
admitted to the bar of the supreme cour
of the District of Columbia. He then be
gan the practice of his profession in Sai
Francisco and was soon one OF tn
prominent legal luminaries of the city.
In 1886 he became trustee OF the es
tate of William Sharon, formerly Unite'

years later removed to Nevada, wher
he actively engaged in the silver agita

the national silver committee. In lS9
he was elected to congress by the silve
party. He is closely affiliated with Sen
ator Stewart of Nevada in business
well as politics and owns a great def

A Disputed Discovery.

The man does not live, perhaps, who
has the least idea of the name OF the
iiscoverer of the properties and ingredi-
ents of gunpowder, or who can tell
within 500 or 1000 years the date of
its discovery. have recently read both
sides of the gunpowder controversy as
it has appeared in a New York daily
(where one writer argues that the dis
coverer was Roger Bacon, while the
other declares that history supports the
assertion that Michael Schwartz, Ger
man monk, deserves the praisel. 1t ap'
pears to me that the controversy IN ref
erence to Bacon versus Schwartz is OF
secondary Importance, especially when
it is known that it was in use hundreds
of years before the birth Of either.
Rziha has compiled long chrono-
logical history of this useful explosive,
of which the following is an abridge-
ment:
julius Africanus (2l5 A. ID gives a
splendid formula for the preparation OF
gunpowder
In the year 600, when the Arabs bonn
barded Mecca, they used firearms.

chus, which is now in the Oxford ENG

for gunpowder.

A Dream and Il. rulalI ment.

A young man living in Florence
dreamed that he had been bitten and
mortally wounded by the marble lion
which stood with open jaws in front OF
a certain church. Walking past the
church with few friends on the fol-
lowing day he told them Of his dream
and placed his hand in the lion IS mouth,
with the words, Now bite me. /" At
that very instant he felt violent pain,
for scorpion that lay concealed in the
lions jaws had stung him SO severely
that he died in a few hours. --Secolo

An important Item In Murder Cases.

Whether the blood stains found on
the hands and garments Of suspected
murderers are those of the victim or Of
some animal has for many years been
most difficult question to decide. The
presence of the sanguinary fluid forms
a very strong bit Of circumstantial evil
dence, but no expert has until recently
been able to swear positively that the
stains were made by the blood OF a hu-
man being. DR.. Cyrus Edison has often
been called as an expert in murder cases,
but with deep sense Of the Importance
of his decision has many times refused
to testify that it was blood of human
being which he was required to exam
inc. Recently, however, he has made an
important discovery, and one which
definitely fixes the action of experts in
the future. By magnifying blood cor
puscles and throwing them upon a
screen with a magic lantern the form,
consistency and other peculialities OF
blood are clearly established, and it ii
shown that blood drawn from the veins
of human being is entirely unlike that
of any other creature. The Importance Of
this discovery may be realized when it is
known that within one single year al
least Is cases have occurred in which
the Identification of human blood wai
