1t is an attractive flag, combining the
colors of red, white, and blue, or "reho
blanca aZul, as the Cuba Ms say. 1t has
in its brief life waved over many of the
bloodiest fields in history. 1t was adopted
by the revo!utionists shortly before the
breaking out of the revolution OF 1865 and
floated over the soldiers of Cuba till the
revolution was crushed by Spain, in 1873.
This flag suggests the great fields of
Palo seco Cdry woods), Las Turnas, and
Guaimare.
Tattered flags, which saw service in
the great campaigns of Cespedes, have been
preserved outside of Cuba by a few Of
these exiles, who have asked and have
never received amnesty from the Spanish
monarchy. One is preserved by the delega-
tion of the revolutionary society at Tampa
and one may be seen at the headquarters
of the society at New York.
Here is a description of the flag as sat
isfa ctory as it can be done in black and
white. Take a flag of ordinary size and
from the outer edge at the staff draw a
triangle, the base resting against the
staff end and so projected that the apex
of this triangle win reach onc-third the
length of the whole flag.
Color this triangle brilliant red, not n
scarlet. but bright, vivid crimson, and
in the center of this red field place n large
white star, 'astralia de blanca" From the
apex of the red triangle project a. bar
to the end of the flag and oRe-fifth the
total width. Color this bar a bright
light blue. On each side of this central
blue bar place two more blue ars of the
width and of the same shade as the central
bar
The flag then stands; red triangu-
lar ri,ld with n white Gtqr hlfap h9 re
and two white bars. This is the ensign of
Cuba. This is the flag which the soldiers
of 1S6S-7S followed and which the pa
triots of to-day are folio wing. This is
the flag OF the island which. because or
its richness, and resources. because of its
tobacco, sugar, and iron. has made Span
ish securities good investments.

The big fellow seized the young man and

she had a longings To be of the world,

actresses and know stage people. The
city editor finally gave her a note OF
introduction TO to the manager OF The
Green Snake Comic Opera Company.
which is now rehearsing in this city.
Miss Jones went around TO the theater
last Sunday morning. Dress rehearsal
was In progress. Tila manager was glad
to see her. She had u gushful, three
column wri,e-up iook in her eye. He gave
her seat down in front and the rehearsal
went ON. 1t was the first time Miss
Jones had ever witnessed a theatrical per
formance, except as one OF many specta-
tors. She was now the entire audience.
And it WAS so different from what she
had expected Life on the boards was evil
dently not all violets and rose-colored dis
cussions onsart. The people on the stage
were coarse. The prima donna and the
leading tenor were bandying low jests,
while the stage manager was impartially
swearing al everybody, without distinction
of sex.
Finally the manager approached. How
are you enjoying it. Miss Jones?' he asked.
Very much indeed she faltered, this
being the first lie she had ever told.
We'll, come around behind and see my

asked the proud manager. ITS seldom

Miss Jones had nothing 10 say. but the
manager didn't seem. to mind that. He
ratified on in lai;dation of his company.
Presently one Of the girls spoke to him,
saying:

Eight Thousa nd Miners Idle Because

Pi5lsburg, Oct. 2L.-For the first time
in fifteen days rain OF any consequence
or quantity descended in Pittsburg this
afternoon and evening.
The precipitation amounted to 20 inches,
almost half OF that coming down in fifteen
minutes. This is more than one-half the
down-pour for the preceding portion of
the month"; which was after the subsidence
OF the storm tonight 81 inches, making
October up to date an extraordinary dry
month.
The rivers will not be raised by the rain
for the reason that the shower was almost
local.
Fully 5000 coal miners are idle owing
to the inability TO get barges up the Ohio
River. The Ohio River marks nine and
