Pretty Poll In q Fix.

A Snowman Mt the fair possessed a
beautiful parrot, which accompanied
him everywhere on his peregrinatiops
through town and country. and excit-
ed the admiration of the gaping crowd
by its capital imitation of the show
mans voice and tones when inviting
the public to step into the booth. One
day the faithless creature broke its
chain and escaped INTO a neiglrboring
plantation. Soon a number of men
and boys were on it's track, but be-
fore they had gone far they heard a
loud noise caused by the screeching
of birds in the woods.
On arriving at the spot whence the
sounds proceeded, they found poor
Poll perched on the withered branch
of tree, bereft of most of it's feath-
ers, and surrounded by q flock of
screeching crows that were merciless-
ly pecking at it with their beaks
Notwithstanding this pitiable state of
affairs, the crowd of seekers could not
refrain from laughing as they heard
the poor victim scream out at the top
of it's voice: zone at time, gentle
men!-Don't crush so, please!-Take
your time!-There's plenty Of room"

Two Runaway Orphans.

James Roberts and Archie Melon

Home, ran away last Monday cIi
went to Reno. They told the Ga
zette that Superintendent Beebe
locked them up in the ice house and
fed them on bread and water because
they did rot saw ten sticks OF wood
before they went to school. Learning
that they were to be kept in the ice
house for a week, they broke out and
went to Virginia City and from there
to Reno.
This is the third time the Mcdonald
boy has ran away, and the second
time for Roberts. The boys tell a
very straight story, but when Mr..
Beebe is heard from he will probably
put an entirely different light on it
The Gazette does not think Mr.. Beebe
would inflict such harsh punishment,
and hopes to hear from him in the
near future.

In an interview he said: @They

With the heavy armor and armament
1t was naturally expected, judging
from the experience of other countries
with modern battle ships, we would
have considerable roll to contend
with. One of England's battle ships
Is shade heavier and rolls four de-
grees, whereas the Indiana does not
show a roll of even one degree. This

Only a Bluff.

Hot SPRINGS, October 16.-A con-
ference Of the citizens committee and
the Florida Athletic Club was held
last night. General Taylor met with
them, and to him were submitted the
revised articles of agreement and the
five ounce gloves it was proposed to
use In the contest for scientific points.
Whatever was accomplished is kept a
profound secret. Mayor Waters in
Inmates there will be some early and
interesting developments as the re-
suit Of the conference.
Governor Clark is expected III the
city this afternoon. In view of the
threat made by the Governor to arrest
either Corbett or Fitzsimmons upon
their arrival in the State, and the fact
that Corbett has been here almost
twenty-four hours and has not yet
been arrested, gives color to the be-
lief that the Governor was playing a
game OF bluff. The failure of the
Governor to carry out this program
has also had the effect of increasing
the confidence of the public in the
ability of the local committee to
bring off the contest under tho revis-
| ed contract entered into by the
Florida Athletic Club and William
ii. Brady, manager for Jim Corbett.
1t is thought by many that Fitz-
simmons will refuse to sign the ar
ticles. He was not looking for a
soft glove contest for limited num-
Der Of rounds. The big five ounce
gloves submitted to General Taylor
for inspection looked as large as baby
pillows and as harmless.
Nearly all the members of the prize
fighting contingent have put in an
appearance. Peter Maher and Steve
| O'Donnen came in on the same train
last night, as did Corbett.
To press representative member
Of the conference held last night said:
General G. P. Taylor was perfectly
satisfied by the committee that the
proposed contest would not be Of a
brutal character, and he hoped they
would be able to SO convince Govern
or Clarke at the conference to be held
at 2 o'clock day"
Governor Clarke arrived in this city
this afternoon. He requested Prose
cutting Attorney league to have Cir
cult Judge Duffie adjourn court for
the afternoon and call at the hotel for
a conference between himself, county
officials, officers of the Florida Ath-
letic Club and General Taylor.

IT'S the Same Roosevelt.

1t is amusing to note what a hard time
the friends of wet Sundays in New York
are having with their campaign. They had
q great parade yesterday-the procession
of the thirsty-and 1t was intended to be a
tremendous rebuke to Commissioner Roose-
welt for his enforcement of the laws which,
through no fault or credit of his, were en-
the statute books when he assumed Office.
Mr.. Roosevelt was to be the Guy Fawkes
of the occasion. But, with characteristic
pluck and sagacity, he pricked the bubble
of their desires and took the "go'' all out
of the entire demonstration. Having been
invited to attend the ceremonies of re-
viewing the parade by a polite but hardly
discreet committeeman, Mr.. Roosevelt
promptly accepted, took a bold stand on
the front of the platform. and showed such
good-humored appreciation Of the affair,
and such grit in standing before his sup
posed foes, that ere long the humor of the
situation broke upon the paraders, and the
police commissioner was cheered again
and again. AS an effort to counteract the
influence of Mr.. Roosevelt with the citizens
who love order and peace the parade was
failure, and he stands today more COM
pletely than ever the master of the sit
uatiOn.

An Unnecessary Nuisa nee.

There is not much solidity in the argu-
ments made before the District Commits
sioners in behalf of the scheme to locate
a garbage crematory at the end of South
Capitol street; such as were presented at
the hearing yesterday. 1t is not enough
for the contractor to say that the garbage
must DE carried somewhere, that 1t has got
to be disposed of within the city, or that
it ia not fit subject for municipal inter-
ference before the establishment of the
nuisance. If garbage burning is a nuisance
1t should be performed far beyond the city 8
limits. 1t Is folly for the contractors
counsel to insist that he knows there Is
nothing in the cry that the furnace will
be a menace to health and comfort, be-
cause, forsooth, a resident of Philadelphia
tells him that two miles away from the
plant there Is no trace of bad odors. Two
miles, indeed! The people who are making
the fight live within radius Of half, even
a quarter of mile. This citation of the
experience of Philadelphia indicates the
entire futility of the whole defense of the
proposition to offend the citizens with an
unnecessary nuisance.

ed by some Of the preliminaries to recogni-
ticn-such as capturing and holding one Of
the principal cities-then The Star will do
what it can in their behalf along other
lines. We do not sympathze with the Gu
ban patriots through ignorance. We know
that Cuba has thirty representatives in the
imperial Cortes: We know that the forms of
law are apparently respected in the deal
ings of the Spanish officials with the Cuban
people: we know that there is alleged to be
freedom of speech and of the press and
that by statute there is provision for free
public assemblage. We also know that
Spain's only interest in the island is pure
ly selfish one. save perhaps for the pride
which is felt in preserving the last remnant
of Spanish monarchical power on a CONT
nent where republican principles and prac-
tees are almost supreme. American SYM
pathy goes out to the Cubans quite natur-
ally for the reason that they are striving to
achieve a government of their own and
that they are opposed by nation whose
faraway ruler claims the right to dictate
directly or indirectly, to millions because he
was born to the purple" The ready made
morarch Is quite unpopular in the United

Should He Enforced.

The movement originated and promoted
by the labor organizations to shorten the
hours Of toll has always had the warm
sympathy of those who in the Christian
sense love their fellow-men. By those who
givo wise consideration to social and econ
omic matters the movement has been ap-
proved because of its promise of better
conditions, of better workmen and better
citizens. Opportunities for leisure and for
cultivating the graces of life are likely
to produce people much more Intelligent,
much more manly and much freer from
vices than the old system of overworkiag
men, whereby the masses were kept al
most in the condition of brutes- Many
forcible arguments have been made in
favor of the eight-hour day, and in many
communities public opinion has been thor
cughly educated to regard eight hours as
the proper limit of daily toll. One result
has been the distribution of employment
among a greater number of men. The agi-
tation for eight hours will undoubtedly he
kept up until the principle Is recognized
and abded by in every community. Here
in the District Of Columbia, a federal dis
trict, the principle has been Incorporated
into national law. After many years of
effort, in the face of great discourage
ments, the committees representing labor
organizations secured finally in 1892 the
enactment of a statute believed to be op-
erative. 1t is not at all surprising that
these labor organizations should guard
jealousy a law that cost them SO much
effort and that means so much to them
and to mankind generally. Several pros
ecutions have been begun under this law,
ard defeated through technicalities. The
defence made In a case now pending is IN
derstood to be that an Extraordinary
emergency" existed, the law permitting
longer hours of work In such a case. The
facts in the present case are yet to oe de-
termined by court. but the suggested &C.
fence gives force to the appeal of the
workingmen, set forth in an interview pub
lished elsewhere in today's Star. that the
law be made more effective by closing up
the various avenues of escape now opened
by its peculiar wording. Emergencies JUS
tifyilg a suspension of the law should be
plainly defined by the law itself. The
matter should not be left to the whim Of
an official or the determination of an in
terested contractor. The workingmen's
organizations seem to have good grounds
for complaint against the government gen.
orally for its inactivity in enforcing the
eight-hour law. If federal officials were
alert in this matter, perhaps contractors
would not be so ready to attempt evasions,
If not direct violations. of the statute.
