Bitter Disappointment That Came
After Weeks of Waiting.

Bitter Disappointment That Came
After Weeks of Waiting.
Roseleaf Bower is the name Of q dainty
little cottage nestled among spreading
trees, ona spacious lawn in booming New
Jersey town, says the New York World
All through April 1t was upside down and
heavy with the fumes of yarnish and
richly beSpotted with whitewash and cal
Gimme of every hue of the rainbow. The
rugs were on the lines and the chairs were on
the beds to make room for the spring clea n
ing, andnothing was in its accustomed place
that was not stationary But finally
everything was spick and span and the
owner put the place in the hands of every
real estate agent in the town for rent
during the summer months.
And after that came the awful suspense
and anguish that annually fills the breast of
the suburban householder until his chateau
is leased and he has settled the burning
question regarding his abiding place for
the sweltering summer solstice His wife
sat at the window all day watching for
the approaching carriage of the prospective
tenant, as if it were the long-looked-for
ship that must ultimately arrive with I'M
told riches. And when the lord OF the
manor would arrive at night and toss the
bundle of Goldfish that he had lugged out for
dinner gracefully to the cook Oh the fly, he
would simply ask:
ANY prospectors out to-day?"
And when his wife would reply in the
negative, he would pour forth lamentation
after lamentation and finally call down
maledictions upon his own head for having
laid out all the money in fixing up the
place.
Then his wife would say:
ic rrnt IL iy,t :,
you know we rented later than this last
year. Now we must be patient and hope for
the beSt.'
That's all 1 ever hope for" he would
reply, but saw the agent this morning and
asked him how the monkeys were jumping
and he said none had yet been out and that
people were SO anxious that they congre-
gated about his office upon the arrival of
every express train from town.
"Well," she would reply, cheerily. "the
place is fixed up for ourselves if no one
should take the house, you know
Yes, l know that" he would respond.
"but look at the money 1 have spent ad-
vertising in New York papers, and every
ad. cost extra to have no malaria and no
mosquitoes put in large letters to fool and
land the summer jay
After this sort Of thing had been going on
for quite awhile, and even the owners wife
had about given up in despair, she sighted
a carriage coming up the road one sunshiny
afternoon. Running to the maid, she said:
"At last, at last. q carriage is approaching
will be in the library to receive them!"
So she folded her hands in breathless ex-
pectation and smiled like q dewy June rose,
The bell rang never so musically before.
Then the maid opened the door and few
moments later went to the library and said:
Mrs. Peachblow, of the Methodist Auxil-
iary guild, wants to know If you will buy
some tickets for the stra wberry festival next
week"

A Courageous Woman.

As an example of woman's courage q
story OF a brave school-teacher comes from
India. Miss Lucinda Gore, of Lackharabad
was standing in the school house one day,
when, turning around, she saw in the open
doorway the glaring eyes of tiger. She
did not scream nor faint, but seized
broom and drove jt full in the tigers face,
brush foremost. Some Of the bristles en-
tered the tigers eyes, and with a howl
OF pain he drew back TO make a spring at
her Then she slammed the door in his
face. The supports OF the door were but
slender, and would not resist the tigers
attacks long but, while he banged his head
at 1T, she lowered one of the boys through
the window TO alarm the neighbors As
sistance soon arrived and the tigerwas shot.

THE POTATO A AMISSOURIANO.
Claim That 1t Is Native to theJackson
Comfy Soil,

Claim That 1t Is Native to theJackson
County Soil.
Jackson county promises TO be famous In
history as the birthplace of the Irish pota-
to, says the Kansas City Journal. Some or
the local botansts OF Independence have
discovered this fact and have traced the
lineage ofthe vegetable, whichisno wknown
to every table IN the world as the Irish
potato" back to its birthplace, Little Santa
Fe in the southern part of this county. The
botanists give the name OF the plant from
which thepotato gre was ''diOscoreabatata,'
and feel confident in their assertion that the
history OF the potato can be traced back TO
the town of Little Santa Fe. DR.. Ballard,
a we'll Lno wn botanist aud geologist, had in
his possession recently plant which he
claimed to be specimen of the "diOScorea
batata'' found at Little Santa Fe. By trac-
ing the plant back some 800 years, the doc
tor says that undoubtedly the dioscorea
batata was the progenitor of the so-called
Irish potato. 1t appears that the abOrigines
of this section knew the art OF propagation
OF plants by cultivation, from their wild
state, and by such knowledge produced the
tuber now so generally in use and found on
every table.
Its matter of history" said the doctor,
that the potato was first used as an edible
by the Indians, near what is now known as
Little Santa Fe, Jackson county, Mo. From
there it became an article of barter. The
edible was so palatable that its use spread
rapidly and became common among the In
dians in Virginia. The potato fell into the
hands of Sir Walter Raleigh in Virginia,
who recognized good thing when he saw
it. Sir Walter took it on one of his trips to
Europe. and by reason OF the soil and clI-
mate of Ireland it at once became staple
article of food hence the name Irish potato.
The little town of Santa Fe has never set
up it's claim for being the birthplace of Ire
lands staple food, for outside of the botan-
lists the matter is not possibly known to the
citizens of that locality. That the potato
flourishes in this locality, more so than in
any other section Of the county, is we'll
known fact, and the "dioscorea batata'
grows in great abundance there. BY eX-
perimental tests the plant finally produces
a small potato, from which larger ones will
grow.

can Union which have defaulted in their
debts to foreign pond1oiders.
The outcome Of this Nicaraguan incident is
also felt by the same dfplomatists to be full
of significance to Venezuela, and it is fear
ed by them that ia Wing once driven in the
wedge Great Britain can scarcely be ex-
pected to refrain from pressing forward
of the YeneZuelal. boundary dispute and at
once establishing herself as the mistress Of
the Orinoco. ei Q
Anxiety ofDThls Government.
It is felt here that the present situation is
one justifying apprehension and anxiety on
the part of our own government. While
1t is not expected Nhat the Nicaraguan
government will ofrer any armed resist
ence to the landing Iof 'he British forces.
still it is feared that during the time the
town of Corinto is occupied by :he foreign
difficulty. and the close contact into which
the two discordant elements will certainly
be brought might at any moment lead to
an outbreak, winding up in general var.
The tenure of the present Nicaraguan
government is none too secure, and 1t is
felt that 1t would be expecting almost too
much from it to hope that it could resist
successfully an impulse Of the people to-
ward war, even should the cause be without
probable success for their side lii the end.
1t is evident that our State Department has
not lost sight of this possibility, for Sec
retary Gresham has been in consultation
with the President and the Nicaraguan
minister on the subject, and it Is believed
that he has been using his best efforts to
prevent a resort to extremes by intinating
that the indemnity had better be paid.

LATE SPORTING NEW S
LOCALS HAD THE LUCK.

Arthur Irwin's Men Defeated In Their
First Gnme Here.
The manager of the Washington base
ball club had no occasion, after the conclu-
sion of yesterdays game with the Phila-
delphia nine, for complaining that luck
vas against the local aggregation, for if
ever game was won by sheer good luck it
was that Of yesterday. Not only did the
Philadelphia men outbat the locals almost
2 to !, but they earned every run, and
played with but single error, and that
misplay did not affect the result. Willie
McGil the south paw artist of the visitors
omciated, and to him, more than to any
thing else, is attributable the defeat of his
club, seven locals reaching first because of
his inability to locate the home plate.
Nevertheless the home team deserved its
victory, and when the heart-breaking con-
test was over the cheers Of exultation were
no more numerous than those of genuine
relief. Stocksdale pitched for the home
club unit, the eighth inning when, having
perceptibly weakened. Manager Schmelz
wisely relieved him, directing Malarkey, the
Virginia League man, to take his place.
The score then stood 5 to in favor of the
Washington men.
Hallman, the first visitor up in the eighth,
took first on balls, and then Sullivan hunted
safely. Buckley endeavored to follow suit,
thrown out at first, and mighty cheer Of
relief went up when the Virginia recruit
struck out Hamilton.

A LOVELY SPOT.
Daily Examples of jackson City's
Want OF Character.

When Inspector Hollinberger CT this city
and Lieut.. James Smith of Alexandria led
a'party Of officers to Jackson City nearly
three weeks ago, and succeeded in captur-
ing one of the alleged safe-blowers, it was
thought that the gamblers and crooks at
that lawless settlement would become less
bold for while at least, but they seem to
have made fresh start, and not cnly rob
persons who visit the dives Cf their own
accord, but are sending out steerers to
bring them in. The experience Of Mr. Tul-
loch Of New York. as published in yester-
days Star, is only one of many similar
cases that have happened across the river,
where such people have full sway.
These steerers wait about the railroad
track and catch persons who wait there to
return on trains. Such was the case with
Mr.. 1ulloch. He was waiting fer a train
when a stranger invited him in a saloon to
take drink. The train was hot due for
some time. and the New Yorker was finally
induced to go with the stranger and drink
glass of beer. Then came the old old
story. There was a confederate in the
saloon, and it required the throwing of
dice to determine which of the jackson
City men should settle for the drinks. Fol-
lowing this came the game of .'over and
under" and in this the New Yorker lost
his 500. The game. he declares, mas by no
means square one, and he managed to
get pack nalI MS money. This was all
done in the daytime. and had it been after
dark Mr.. Tulloch may have Jared much
worse

doubtful reputation. 1oiter and indulge in
language calculated to insult or shock any
respectable person. At intervals the police
declare war on these people, and make
them scarce for few days. but none of
them have been arrested for some time,
and they are thicker now than they have
been for weeks. 1t is the intention cf the
police to make move against these people
in the near future and perhaps it will have
the effect of keeping many of them over
the river.

Diplomats Exercised.

The diplomatic representatives of Central
and South American countries are very
much exercised over the report that Great
compel Nicaragua to meet interest pay
ments on her foreign debt, represented
mainly by bonds held in England. They
fear. 1t is said, that such a course would
presage an endless amount Of trouble fer
them in the future. Their idea is that
once Great Britain has been permit ted
without interference to collect the special
Hatch indemnity she will avail herself of
the excuse offered by the failure of Mica
ragua to meet her interest payments On
foreign debt to assume the task of col
lecting this forcibly in the same manner
Notwithstanding the fact that the failure
of the customs receipts, which were TO be
applied to the payment Of this interest.
OF course this would neca5Sitate the cccu-
patton of Corinto after the original in
demnity shall have been collected, which
would only add to the financial distress of
Nicaragua, and should she be then unable,
as seems likely, to meet this last demand
the occupation may be prolonged so indefi-
Eitely as to amount to a permanent occu-
patton of the territory. This is the reason
ing of the South Americans, and they find
individual cause for apprehension in the
fact that almost all of these little republics
owe sums of money to European bondhold-
ers on account of interest or principal Of
national debts, and they fear that for the
first time the principle may be laid down
and enforced that European government
may assume the collection of debts owing
to it's citizens as individuals and not to the
European nation, a doctrine which, they
assert, would be particularly obnoxious If
applied to some Of the states OF the Ameri-
