Forgot His Lameness.

A blind man shambled up and down
Eighth street singing sentimental songs
in very cracked and high pitched voice.
He wore string around his neck, to
which was attached a small tin cup to
catch the aims of charitable pedestrians
The people hurrying along paid but little
attention to him, although from the man
appearance any one could easily see that
he was deserving of assistance. There was
u coal hole open in the pavement few
yards below Chestnut street, and the blind
man was walking directly toward it. An
other mendicant, who sat in doorway
across the street, with his legs doubled up
under him and pair of crutches by his
side, saw the blind mans peril. No one
else seemed to notice it. The supposed
cripple watched the blind man nervously
until the latter was within n few feet of
the hole. Then he jumped up, and forget
full of appearances dashed across the street
like trained Splinter and caught the
blind man on the very edge of tho hole
Then he resumed his crutches, cheered by
the consciousness Of having done at least
ono good deed. Philadelphia Record.

Pearls Made to Order.

In an entertaining paper by A. J. Glib
bins on ''Curiosities of Pearls" in The
Gentleman Magazine this striking incl
dent in pearlmaking is recountcd: " An
extraordinary treasure illustrating the snc-
cessful manner in which these precious
gems can sometimes be produced by he
'strategical process, was lately shown by
the Smithsonian institution. This was d
pearl the size of a pigeons egg, of an OK
quisite rose color, and the receptacle con-
tanning it was the original fresh wa er
mussel in which it had been formed The
nucleus of this wonderful stone was moth
ing more nor less than an oval lump of
beeswax, which had been placed and left
for few years between the valves OF the
mollusk, which had at once proceeded to
voat it with the pink nacre it sccreted for
lining iEs she'll The mussel was kept in
an aqua rum while engaged in its lengthy
task. 1T belonged to a species common in
American rivers, and it suggested that the
result of the experiment opens to every
body the possibility of establishing small
pearl factory for himself by keeping tank
full of tame mussels and humbugging
them into making great pink pearls for
him. - 90

Rum and Rumhnllion.

In 1889 De Poincy and Sir Thomas
Warner, the governors of the French
and English quarters of the island of
st. Christopher, ordered the entire de-
struction of the tobacco crops ON ac-
count of the overproduction having
caused glut in the market. The plant
ers then turned their attention to the
production of sugar. which they prob
ably learned from the Dutch trading to
Brazil.
Richard Lyon. who landed. at Bar
bados in September, l647. relates in his
history of that island how the planters
had commenced sugar making five or
six years before his arrival. and that
there We're then many works set up He
describes the aistillation of spirits from
the skimmiDgs of the coppers and says
that this the favorite drink of the col
ouists was called kill devil and was
sold to the shipping at the rate of as-
Cd. per gallen. He never once makes
use of the word rum

Earthquake Effects on Brick Buildings.

Earthquake Effects on Brick Buildings.
A letter of Messrs. Ende e. Boeckmann
of Berlin to our contemporary, The
Deutschc Bauzeitung, gives us some in
teresting particulars of the effects of the
late earthquakes on the new public BALD
ings these architects have erected in Tokyo.
We refer to the earthquake that passed
over Japan ON June 90 1t seems that the
shock lasted no less than 4 minutes and
80 seconds, and that the buildings rolled
perceptibly. While all the other brick
buildings suffered badly, Messrs. Ende &
Boeckmann's blocks apparently withstood
the shocks without showing crack. This
escape seems to have been mainly due to
the precaution of tying in all the brick
work with iron bands, both horizontally
and vertically no part of the building be-
ing omitted, and, further, in building the
exterior slightly inclined inward. The
walls are built unusually thick. The de-
signs purposely showed no gables, and in
vaulting very narrow spans were arranged
for On referring to official information
regarding the earthquake we hear that at
Tokyo and Yokohama together no less than
4,551 buildings were damaged, and that
81 persons were killed and 1928 hurt by
falling houses. Thirty-two buildings col
lapsed completely, and 81 We're practically
RACED Five bridges gave way. OF course
the majority of these buildings were of
native construction but these, as usual,
apparently withstood tho shock far better
than the average g European" structure.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2Z-The joint reor-
ganization committee of the AtchisOn

levied on the common stock and 81 on
the second mortgage bonds, for which an
equivalent will be given in preferred

sLATTERY NOT SCARED.
Determined 10 Speak Tonight and There
MAY Be More Trouble.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 27.-At noon to-
day the board of managers of the Young
Mems Hebrew association, which has
the lease of the Masonic temple. adopted
resolutions cancelling the contract of
the hall with Slattery, the ex-priest. The
resolution states that this action was
taken as Slatterys language is calcu-
lated to incite to riot, endangering lives
and property of the citizens of Savan-
nah. There has been no renewed trou-
BILE today.
At l o'clock this morning four three
story buildings at Farm and Margaret
streets were blown up. The explosion
wrecked them completely. Efforts are
being made by some persons to connect
them with the riot of last night, but
there is no evidence thus far to sustain
the charge
The riot is the only topic of converse
ton here. Feeling runs high, and Stat
terry has received assurances from many
sources that he shall be protected at has
lecture tonight by citizens regardless of
the police or mi itary.
Slattery has made formal applications
for writs for his wife to lecture this after
noon and for himself to lecture tonight
Mayor Myers will grant them. He has
been urged instead of using the mill
tary in the evening in case of further
trouble, to call out the fire department
and pour streams of water on the rioters
This probably will be adopted
A large element of the lower classes
of Catholics are intensely bitter in their
feeling against Slattery and threaten to
attempt to mob him again tonight. The
priests are denouncing the rioters as hav-
ing brought disgrace on their church and
the com bined influences may keep them
away from the Masonic hall tonight
1t came out this morning that one or
two small pieces of dynamite or some
other high explosive was among the
things thrown at the hall. One exploded
and shattered two or three frames of
glass.
Unsuccessful efforts were made TODAY
to burn the Masonic temple.
One OF the leaders in police court this
morning insulted and defied the re-
corder, and was sent to jail for thirty
davs for contempt,

ALARM IN SPAIN
Over the Uprising of the Rebels
in Cuba.
The Revolutionary Movement
Regarded as Serious.
SOME BLOOD SHED
In Several Engagements With
RevolutiOnists.
Public Sentiment in Havana
Against the Movement.

MADRID, Feb. 27.-It is reported here
that the disturbances in Cuba are OF a
serious nature. The Spanish govern
ment, however, denies that it has receiv-
ed information that the twenty four per
sons reported to have been arrested in
Cuba have been summarily sentenced.
New YORK, Feb PA special dis
patch to a morning paper from Havana
gives the following account of the revo-
luton in Cuba:
News has reached here of the attempt
of the insurgents to overthrow the
government. The rebels at Guanta-
namo, under the leadership of
Henry Brooks, who is the wealth.
lest resident of Santiago de Cuba, had an
encounter with the government troops
near Santa Cecilia. Three prisoners
were captured and the rest of the insur-
gents forces fed to the woods
In the engagement at Ibarra, near
Matanzas, two of the rebels were killed
and many wounded. They also lost four
teen rifles and large amount of am
munition. They are now surrounded in
the woods near the Ignaia plantation. 1t
is expected they will be captured.
Manuel Garcia, the noted revolution
ist leader, was in the vicinity of Agacate,
with sixteen adherents, and was said to
be recruiting men by force. A report
has been circulated that Garcia was
killed, but no details were received.
Arms for the revoIutionists were found
on a plantation near Mantanzas and
seized. In addition, four trunks con-
tanning arms and cavalry equipment
were found among the baggage of pas
sengers on the steamer City of WASH
ington last Monday and confiscated.
Many persons implicated in the revol-
utionary movement have been arrested.
Others who, it is said, came from New
York, arrived here yesterday and we're
presented to the governor general. Span.
ish gunboats keep a close watch along
the coast The general impression here
is that the revolution has been subdued.
Public opinion is almost unanimous ly
opposed to the uprising.
