 Maurice Gondalfo is name we'll known throughout Central America and among clubs of New York Many years ago his father, who was, it is said, "a prince of ths blood" /" emigrated from Spain to Central America, where he rejuveDated the depleted fortunes of his family. It was here he met and married young and charming native, one of the flowers of the ancient Latin aristocraey
 The general waa in the habit of strolling about his plantation supervis- ing the work of his men armed with a short, heavy sword One afternoon, as he was passing through a heavily wooded portion of his estate, he was attracted by peculiar, powerful odor issuing from a ravine which branched off the regular pathway. Forcing his way through tangle of vine and un- dergrowth, 8 terrible sight met his gaze. In cleft or cave in the face of the Tiff stood one of his native employees armed with short stick, fighting for his life score of venomous reptiles, which were hissing Gnd cireling about him.

It was a terrible battle amid the poisonous vie pers, but finally the last of the ereptiles ] WAS dispatched and the general turned to his companion, who was already deathly sick. He had been struck in two places and it was evident could not survive. Before he died, however, he told the general that the cave was the entrance to rich vein of gold, and though discovered many years ago by natives, it had never been worked, being guarded by the yeno- K.nous reptiles.
 A gang of men under the generals direction cleared the cave. It proved to be gold mine and made Gondalfo wealthy. When the general died Mau- rice, his heir, came to New York, where he formed many acquaintances among the clubmen of the metropolis. Un- l fortunate speculations caused his for tune gradually to disappear, until he decided to come to this city. Slowly but surely his sustenance melted away, and at last he was obliged to seek em- ployment. Through the influence of 8 friend he obtained position with the General Electric company trimming the arc lights about the city at a sal- ary of sixty dollars a month.

Collars.

Among minor modes we see that, il place of the huge white sailor collars worn last summer, fashion now affects the spreading collarette that is cut ill one, with tlaring mediei that stands out pieturesquely around the face The storm collar, which is straighter, is also still in fashion. ald this can be brought up snugly as protection against wind or cold and allowed to fall when not on duty. A collar of this sort, if we'll stiffened and of course we'll shaped, gives a very smart. appearance to the garment it finishes, and the quantity of handsome fur required for it is less than might be supposed. Here again is an opportunity for utilizing remnants of fur and turning them to excellent ac. cOunt

 cd in battle, as the dispatches first stated, he was betrayed and foully assassinated by the Spaniards. He had been invited by Captain-Gen- eral Weyler's chief lieutenant, the Marquis of Ahumada, to a confer ence to negotiate treaty Of peace between the insurgents and the Spaniards. When the Cuban Gen eral and his staff had entered the Spanish lines they were summoned to surrender, which General Maceo refused to do, whereupon he and his entire staff were fallen upon by Spanish soldiers and ruthlessly mur- dered. This act of Spain is a dis grace to civilized warfare. The GRAPHIC has never been much of a 'jingo' newspaper, but we DOW hope that the United States Con-

Mr.. Balfour's wise Words

The Hon. A. J. Balfour, first lord of the
treasury in the British cabinet, speaks not
only in words of wisdom but in n tone of
authority in the matter of the Venezuelan
controversy. Nobody" said Mr.. Balfour,
in a speech delivered at Manchester on
"Wednesday night, wants to run contrary
TO the Monroe doctrine. In fact he con-
tinued, "if Venezuela had offered herself
for annexation to Great Britain, any Brit
ish statesman would have declined such an
honor" In view of these facts, Mr.. Bal
four is unable TO understand what the
quarrel is about. The British govern
ment," he added with significant empha-
sis, "heartily concurred i'll the Monroe doc
trine seventy years ago, and it would be
impossible to find la single individual in the
British empire who could wish TO see what
would be called forward policy adopted
by Great Britain either in North or South
America
This plain and practical statement of the
real sentiments of the British government
covers with confusion two equally unat-
tractive clements in American citizenship.
One comprises those emotonai but un-
wise jngoes represented in lAe senate by
Mr.. Lodge CT Massachusetts and in the
house by Representative Boutele of
Maine. who insist on a war with England,
right OF wrong. OF course, such a war
would involve calamity to both countries of
men either don't understand the facts or
are careless of the consequences. The
other class that is discredIted by Mr.. Bal
four's declarations are those so-called
learned but really pedantic gentlemen like
Professor Won Hoist of the Chicago Uni
versity, who insist that the Monroe doc
trne is not involved in the Venezuelan
dispute because England's attempt to
| usurp territory was not accompanied by
a demonstration of force. They are alike
wrong, but it is not certain that they are
equally ignorant.
The attempt to extend British authority
over "a single foot of the soil within the
boundaries of republican Venezuela
whether by peaceful process or at the
point of the bayonet, would be an infrac
| tion of the Monroe doctrine as it is prop.
erly construed both by President Cleveland
ard the Hon A. j. Baliour, first lord of the
treasury of Great Britain and the acknowl
edged spokesman of lord Salisbury's cab
| met in the hou.e of commons. That the
British government has neither the inclina
ton nor purpose to violate principle cher
ished by the American people is alike graf
flying and reassuring, and the declaration
OF MIR. Ralfour may be justly interpreted
as proclamation of peace from the throne
1t can have no other effect than the
Strengthening of confidence in all financa
and commercial channels, and if there j!
