AMERICAN and English manners seem
bad and often astounding to well-bred
people in many parts of the continent
of Europe. We lift our hats only to
ladies; all over the continent nodding
to a man without lifting your hat is
treating him as an. inferior. In some
parts of the continent no one thinks of
entering shop, restaurant or rail-
way carriage containing other human
beings without taking of his hat and
wishing them good morning.

Philadelphia Press Letter.
The last action l witnessed in Cuba
was that at Lomo del Cato, where Gen.
Jose Maceo was killed. 1t was at the
very hottest period of the battle. The
Spanish infantry were directing hot
fire into the Cuban ranks, ssand it was.
absolutely necessary that they be dis
lodged from their position. The Cuban
cavalry formed for a macheie change.
General Maceo was not the man to per-
nit a subordinate to lead such a daring
venture. He sprang 70 the head of a
column, and his fierce cry rang out:
"a Ia machete! A la machetem
His blade was waving above his head
when the sheet of lead from the Spanish
ranks found him. Down he went, with
four bullets through his body. He rails
ed himself once after he fell, and,
though the blood was gushing from his
lips, he cred again: "a la machete! A
la machete."
His men charged on without him, and
his death was many times avenged be-
fore the Spanish lines broke. Nothing
could stand before that charge OF caval-
ry maddened by the loss Of their lead.

near Munich, the infanta being married
to a Bavarian prince. The king and
queen vii return to the French metropo-
lis and take up their residence together
at the Palais de Castillo, in the Avenue
kleber, the kings residence at Epinav
being from henceforth only to be used
for yillegiatura purposes.
This is a somewhat tardy reconcilia-
ton, out such as it is it is welcomed bv
al the numerous friends and well wish
ers Of that exceedingly large hearted
though perhaps little Eighty woman
Queen Isabella. Being in her sixty-sev-
enth year, as compared with her hus-
bands seventy-four years Of age, this re-
union may be accepted as a species of

ton to reform and put aside all those
frivolties and indiscretions which have
contributed to give her the reputation of
being the least deeorous and prudish SOW
ereign that has ever been hailed as
queen since the days of the Empress
Messalina.
King Francis, who is almost dwarf
in stature, being considerably under five
feet high, and who is possessed of the
very squeakiest of voices, is renown-
ed for his thrift, which strongly borders
upon ayarice, and it is anticipated that
his presence at the Palais de Castillo will
have the effect not only of ameliorating
the moral atmosphere of that residence,
but will also put stop to those financial
scandals of which it has often been the
scene, much to the distress and NORTH.

A BOAT GOES DOWN.
Another Splendid Steam err at the Bottom
of the Flint.


The ~. P. Williams" 1Oo-foot
stes m-boat that has been plying Flint
river between Newton and Bainbridge
for several years, met with a disastrous
accident the other day.
The boat was on the return trip from
Newton to cambridge with heavy load
of turpentine and rosin. Captain Nun
lin and Pilot Moczkowskri were in
charge and the start was made under
favorable conditions.
About eight miles below Newton. OBJ
posite Keaton's Landing, the boat dash
ed over sharp rock and split her hull
from bow TO stern. The wal poured
in rapidly and ID was not long 3efore the
doughty little craft rested on bottom
of the treacherous Flint, the liver dsck
being completely submerged, Those on
the boat found safety on the upper
deck
All the freight on the boat foated
down the river but most of it will be re-
covered, no doubt, as it reaches the DIFF
ferent ferries. The loss will amount to
several thousand dollars.
The boat was owned by stockholders
living in Savannah, cambridge and

SNAKES BROKE UP A HOP.
During the Dancing Nest of Black Rep-
tiles Was Disturbed.


The other night the young folks in the
family of Pete WoldrOf, near Greeley,
Pa, held a dance IN he barn. The wag-
ous were run out except platform We
hicle used for the orchestra, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
The floor was old and full of knot
holes, but was soon crowded with six
sets of the young folks. The dancing
over the loose planks waxed fast and
furious, until there was a scream of
Snakes !" from the set on tie left.
The dancing had annoyed den of
black snakes under the barn, and they
were popping their heads through the
numerous knot holes, kissing in anger at
the disturbance.
Some of the girls fed, several mounted
the frame work of the horse stalls and
others climbed the ladder to the floor
above.
The male members Of the party, with
hoes, forks and clubs, attacked the
snakes, which were issuing from every
knot hole in the old barn floor, and killed
thirty-six black snakes, some OF which
were over six feet in length.
The women could not be induced to
re-enter the barn and the rest Of the
evening was enjoyed as a lawn party.
No one was bitten by the snakes, but
several of the womeG tainted from
fright.

A housekeeper at one Of the northern
resorts, Miss Della McGrenn, died few
days ago leaving handsome fortune
tucked away in her hustle. There was
$500 in gold and silver certificates and
United States currency, two bunk books
for large amounts, some other securities
and a check tor a considerable sum. The
woman personal effects, aside from
these, are of no value. The whole
schedule of assets will reach a total of
$4,000. The strangest part of this ex-
traordinary affair is that the hustle was
picked up among other effects in the
rooms occupied for so many seasons by
Mss McGrenn and cast into a discarded
sugar barrel. A hasty examination had
been made Of the hustle by those clean
ing up the apartment and nothing unu-
sual was noticed in its makeup. The
servants at the Ocean View were about
to remove the Old clothes and rubbish
that had been thrown in.o the barrel,
when it occurred 10 one of them that
the hustle looked a little queer and the
covering was torn .from the wires and
cords. \ big bundle Of bank notes
dropped out and then the hotel clerks
were summoned to the scene. They
made quick work in the destruction of
the hustle, and the bank books aDd other
valuable things going to make up the
snug fortune were quickly revealed.
