this time. but thought that 1t might como in the course of five or six years. His whole manner seemed to be against the probability of the union.
 Minister Mendonca of Brazil was also disinolined to believe that a commercial union between the states of Central and South America was probable at this time. He had received no information that dis patches of the kind stated had been sont to President Zelaya although it might be that messages of sympathy had been transmitted. He thought the question of local union between the states of Gen. tral America a matter for themselves and one in which Brazil had no direct inter- est. He did not think that Brazil would take such n step as that indicated partly on account of her large interests with Eng land. Why. he asked. should Brazil take any such action any more than the United States
 Official confirmation of the evacuation of tho Nicaraguan port of Corinto was re- ceivCd by Dr. Guzman. His information was very moager and was simply that the evacuation had taken place. Dr. Guz- mans telegram apparently conveyed the only information on the subject received in this city through official sources during the day, the state depaI tmont being with out any ncws on the subject.

THE WOODS BY NIGHT.
Sounds, Sights and Shadows Among the
 Trees and Bushes.

Trees and Bushes.
 'Sit still in the woods at night and look and listen," said an old time nat uralist to me one day, ''and you will see or hear strange things, not to be seen or heard save by rarest chance in the busy hours of the day"
 thought of the remark as sat per fectly still in small opening of the Adirondack woods at the close of one day last summer. It was twilight, and out of the dim, uncertain light loomed the outlines of the tree in the valley and of the Ampersand mountain in the dis tance Quickly saw the shadow of a moving figure, which made out to be that of a fox. How stealthily the sly fellow crept alongi He made no noise; not twig broke beneath his catlike tread.
 As he turned, for the first time he noticed me. He looked at me, and I looked at him. Then reynard revealed the cunning of his kind. Still keeping his eye on me. he sidlod away until he reached the dark shades and recesses, when he disappeared in an instant.
 knew reynard was out on his night ly foraging expedition. Perhaps he was looking for wild rabbit or fat par fridge, or perhaps he intended to rob some farmer of his choicest fowls. The fox is night traveller. He makes his journey after dark, finds his dinner and retires always before the break of day. Our Animal Friends.

COSMOPOLITAN.
The Story of Pohtahhouse and a Man Who
 Bathed.

It was Dr. Holmes. I think, who said that the axis of the earth sticks out visibly In every country Nilla22c, At any rate, the saying is pc-fCc:iy IrI:c and it reminds me of an expcrir.:Cp a man know had in one of those very NIll"9'S. It was n town whose inhabitants iHirr'l you, in the most delicious accent, that they arc cuSmopOli tan. The very crVsiln uf their C2smupoli- tanism is to bc found in n restaurant of which the town k very pruud-an cStah- lishmcnt whcrC they spit fowls on the end of the axis. Tho man 1 spoke of was stay ing in town a few days, and tiring of hotel fare was directed to the famous rcstau- rant. He went in and ordered n tender lOin steak. They were just out of tender loin, the waiter said.
 But" he went on, 1T kin give you a very fine piece of pohtahhOuse, sah, of it's the same to you"
 Tho man said it was tho same to him, and the waiter marched off with the air of n drum major. The man saw him open the kitchen door and call out the order in the lofticst way imaginable. Thcrc was q glimpse of a wide eyed cook. Then an awe stricken voice rolled out to the waiting guest:
 "Pohtahhouser' it said. "POhtah- house! Golly, Inc must hab lots of money. '
 Tho same man tells story, too, about tho hotel in that town. It was a hotel where the servants seem bubblinS over with anxiety tO wait on you. The man or dered n bath prepared for him one night-a warm bath, with an ocean of water and a big, dry land of towels. He got it. The next night he rang the bell to order an other bath. Tho bcllboy who had answer cd his summons tho night before appeared. He expressed surprise at seeing tho guest. Thought sure you was gone, boss, he | said.
 "Why did you think thatp' asked the man who tells the story.
 We'll" said tho bcllboy, you sec you done hab bath last night. and folks don't in generally take q hath unless they goir | away. "-Washington Post.

TOWN RIGHTS,


 There are certain town rights with which the legislature should not interfere. If the people of Waterbury were incapable of governing themselves, and disorder and chaos reigned here. then the state body might be expected to step in and provide charter that would bring about'a better condition of affairs. But the citizens of Waterbury are fully competent to say how they shall be governed. There is no crying demand for a new charter, and without self-constituted committee is trying to rail- road through tbe legislature iS obnoxious to the great majority of our people.
 The charter IS to the people what the constitution Is to the state. Would the legislature of the state take it upon itself to consign the Ire eat state consti- tuition to the waste basket and adopt new one? It could not and would not If it could The same line of reasoning holds good with regard to the charter of Waterbury. The people have God given right t1 say how they shall conduct local affairs. All they ask is that they be allowed to vote on the radical features of tn, proposed charter. If the majnrity favor consolidation the minority will ch, CT ully acquiesce. Isn't that far proposition?
 If there is not deep lnid scheme behind this whole business. why were the reople kept III darkness concerning the proposed amendments until the DEMOCRATS expose fore. q the committee into making & state ment? And why should any one object to submitting the whole matter to a popular vote? It is proposed to change the organic law of the city and the desire O: the people should guide the the legislature, rather than the wishes of politicians
 One of the most shameful features of the scheme is the utter disregard ot the peo- pIe's interests by our daily contemporaries. one of which has feebly given its sanction to the doings of the self-constituted com- mittee, while the other is waiting to see from which part of the heavens the wind i is blowing

PYGMIES.
Some Information About These Strange
 Mites of Humanity.

MUGS oI humanity
 The Greek word pygmy means a meas ure from the elbow to the hand. The pygmies were n fabulous race of dwarfs about whom many interesting stories have been told. According to Homer, they were so very small that they were attacked every year by the cranes ou tho coast of Oceanus and were unable to defend themselves.
 Writers of a later date locate tho pyg- mies at the mouth of the Nile. We also read of northern pygmics iifaabiting the region of Thule, and of others that lived in subterranean dwellings on the eastern side of the Ganges. It is said that once when Hercules visited the country inhabited by these little cIca- lures two whole pygmy armies attacked him while Inc was asleep. One army fell upon his right and the other upom his left, but the hero easily and quickly rolled them up in his lions skin.
 They were not, 1t seems, at all afraid of Hercules, for by the aid of a ladder they climbed up his drinking cup and helped themselves to its contents.
 Aristotle says: "Tho pygmies were sASO HI S HHCE Egypt who rode very small horses and lived in caves" Ho did not believe that the stories told about them were altogether fabulous.
 It has often been declared that there are pygmy races of human beings in the heart of Africa. Indeed Du Chaillu some time ago discovered a pygmy race in the mountainous country on tho east of the southern great branch of thl Ogobai. They arc about fl. feet il height and arc called OrbonSos. "They live in the midst of negro tribes of or dinary size" says Du Chaillu, "anC there is nothing remarkable about then except theis diminutive size. '-Balti more American.

 SAN FRANCISCO. May 6.-Tho horror of the Emanuel Baptist church murders few weeks ago resulted in tho suicide of one morbidly sensitive youth, and now the disappearance of young girl is asoribed to the Samo cause.
 Stella Hughes, daughter of Captain Hughes of Oakland, is about 22 years old. rather dark and attractive. Last Thurs day she went out walking with her sister. She asked her sister to go out to Baker s beach, near Seal rocks, which sho could not do. Tho young lady went alOno,
 She has not been seon since. It is sup posed that tho accounts of the church mur- ders deranged her mind and caused her to leap into the ocean.
 Now that Theodore Durant, tho medical student. has been remanded to the county ! jail to stand trial on the charge of having | murdered Miss Blanch Lamont and Miss Marian Williams. the lawyers for the dc fenso arc seeking to stem the tido of pub lie opinion by telling on what lines they | will conduct the case.
