Home Rule for Cuba.

New York, Nov. 1O.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says the
Spanish government will try to ascer-
tain if the insurgent leaders will ac-
cept modified home rule as the price OF
laying down their arms. The conserv-
atiyes will do everything in their pow
er to circumvent the scheme. Cnbans
generally believe no such proposition
will be entertained. The people or
Havana are just waking up to the f,lct
that Gen. Campos is doing all that lies
in his power to bring reforms in Cuba,
even to the extent of home rule.

Experience

Experience.
Minneapolis, Nov. 10.-Dr. Emily w.
Fifeld was severely bitten by a cat
Wednesday morning. She had de-
scended to the basement of her home
at 1919 Nicollet avenue, on an Grand,
and, noticing strange cat there, en-
deavored to drive it from the building.
The animal sprang at her and buried
it's teeth in her right wrist. She could
not shake it off, and was obliged to
choke the vicious animal to death with
her left hand. Even then she was with
difficulty freed, and the jaws Of the
cat had to be forced open. The teeth
had met in her wrist. She at once
cauterized the wound, and no serious
results are anticipated.

There are other selections of lands
now being considered, which it Is ex-
pected will be approved to the state
soon.
In this statement is estimated that
the grant to the university by section
ii Of the act granting seventy-two sec.
lions, amounts to 46,O8O acres, and the
grant for public buildings made by
section - Of the act granting fifty
sections, amounts to $4,000 acres, and
the grant for the agricultural college
made by sections 16 and II Of the act,
amounts to 10000 acres.
A question is now pending before
the secretary of the interior, which
involves a large quantity of public
lands in North Dakota. These lands
are situated in the north and south
indemnity belts Of the grant to the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
and they have been selected by the
railroad company as indemnity lands
lost to the railroad grant in the state
of Wisconsin.
The question has been raised wheth-
er the railroad company is entitled to
a grant of land in Wisconsin as is
claimed by the company. These lands
in Wisconsin were expected from the
grant by reason of prior occupation
and the railroad company has selected
the lands in North Dakota as indemni-
ty. If it should be held that the COM
pany is not entitled to the lands in
Wisconsin the selections in North Da-
kota must fail and said lands will be-
come public lands Of the United
States Many Of these lands have
been sold by the company, and in such
cases the purchasers would doubtless
be protected under the law, but lands
which have not been sold will, in the
event of such decision, become SUBJ
jest to disposal under the public land
laws and so subjest to selection. by
the state. OF course, it is impossible
to know what the decision of the Sec
rotary will be. If he should decide in
favor of the railroad company. hold
ing that it has a grant in Wisconsin,
the selections in North Dakota will
hold and that will end the matter,
but he may hold the other way, in
! which event the state might be able
to select some valuable land.

picion."
 Who is MT Fred W. Mozart?
 man by that name bearing letters from Massachusetts, Oregon, Colorado and Rhode Island is in the hospital at the city prison. He fainted yesterday in the union depot and was taken to the hospital. When he recovered he climbed over the transom and tried to make his way out of the city to Atlanta. Officer Walker detained him and carried him to the police station, where he is held on the charge of suspicion.
 From the letters on his person he is evidently a man with a history. He has tender letters from a sister and from one who is evidently a sweetheart. The style of the correspondence bears testi- mony of polite society. The letters insin- uate that he is an outcast from the home of his nativity and eXhorted him to mend his habits and retrieve his name
 A State-Herald reporter was granted an interview by special courtesy of the police with Mozart last night. When brought under the full glare of the elec- tric lights Mozart presented an appear ance that would excite the commissera- ton of those who are accustomed to criminals and the subterfuges adopted by them. He was feet inches tall, and weighed about 160 pounds He seemed wasted from disease or nervous prostra- ton. He requested the reporter to not publish his name. saying he 'dislixed to see the mama of Mozart connected in any way with anything that is not laudable My father is a well-known artist, and the name of John Jones would serve your reading public just as we'll" However. facts are facts, and the name in the State-Herald had to appear as the docket shows it.
 Mozart will be released today or held if descriptive queries from the police to various cities request it.

Astonishsd Mules.

The other day at Lacon, Ill., six mules that had for four years hauled ears in the lower workings of the Spailand coal shaft were brought up The mules in all that time had seen no light stronger than the flicker of the little Davy lamps the miners carried. The sun was in its zenith when they reached the surface. The astonished mules closed their eyes to shut out the flood of strong light, and kept them tightly closed while they were led to the pasture lot mile distant and turned loose. There they stood trem- bling as if they were afraid something evil was about to befall them. Pres ently they half opened their eyes and peered around in open-mouthcd amaze ment. When they had become accus- toned to the sunlight they elevated their heads. Toward sundown they broke into a chorus of joyous brays, After a quarter of an hour of that music they took to kicking, jumping, whirliug around like teetotums, and rolling on the sod as if they had gone mad. The sun and pure air were more to them than food, and they refused everything put before them to eat.
 Ihry Were Bound to 'toop.
 There are no tables in the houses of the Esquimaux, and the women are, therefore, in the habit of placing everything on the floor. A Danish lady employed several Esquimau women to do some washing. Entering the wash house she saw them all bending over the wash tubs that stood on tho floor. To make them more comfortable she had some stools fetched and placed the tubs upon them. By and by she looked in to see how they were getting on, and, to her astonishment, discovered the women standing on the stools and stooping still more laboriously over the tubs, which still remained on the ffr,rr
