BEANS FOR EVERY MEAL.
Remarkable Diet of n Man Who
Was From Boston

N0S
Sixty-two days. Three meals a day.
Beans for every meal.
That was the record OF Pierre Richie
lieu's Imprisonment by the Spaish au-
thorities at SaDti;. 60 de Cuba
Ii Pierre were a native BostoneSe
he would probably have liked nothing
better than beans; but he was born in
France, and is g man of the sea withal,
and that pr~otracted period of snbsist-
enee on beans has left rancor in his
heart and utter generalization in his
internal ecoIomy.
Pierre had taken ont naturalization
papers in Boston previous TO risking
his life. liberty and digestive mechan-
ism in Spanish territory. He hoped.
fondly but yainly. that this ceremony
would render him bean-proof. In his
travels about the world he had heard
Of the vast use tie Spaniards make Of
beans.
He is new standing on and on"
about the corridors Of the United
States district court in Boston, wait
ing for the authorities 10 look up his

basis TO file a $4,000 claim against the
government OF the Ions for the de-
struction OF his intestinal equipment
Pierre's complete name is Pierre Gus
tave I4aymer Richelieu. In February,
1895. he found himself at Port au
Prince, Hayti. One day he started
out in n little sail boat called the
Yankee Doodle. and with a companion
named August Bolton. wen fishing
along the coast for turtles.
A storm drove them out of their reck-
oning. and on a dark night they went
ashore OH the coast of Cuba No soon
er had they set foot On tie soil than a
lot OF yigilant senors thrust them into
prison as insurgent sympathisers.
There they remained for sixry-two
days.
Now. Spain feeds her army and navy
principally upon beans. and the Span
fsh captors reasoned that what was
good enough for the warriors of Cast
lie was certainly good enough for reb-
el suspects So. beams they got,
nothing more. The weary weeks Of
confinement and bean diet were pune
tuated by cheerful announcements.

Well" says Richeiiau. they didn't
do that: but it's about the only thing
they didn't do. We Rad nothing to .
but beans.
Whether IL was really the beans or
the fear of death that did it. within a
few days both the men were so i'll that
they could scarcely stand. They man

There was no evidence against them.

THE PARKING CASES,


Chief Points in the Decision of the
Court of Appeals.
The Court Of Appeals yesterday after
noon affirmed the judgment of the court
below In the cases of the District against
Frank Libbey, Benjamin Miller, Francis A.
Belt and William Dyer, lumber dealers,
who were prosecuted in the Police Court
under the municipal ordinance of Novem-
Der %, 1862 for using public spaces (park-
ing adjoining their property for private
purposes.
The cases were carried from the Police
Court to the District Supreme Court By
writ of certiorari. the latter court giving
Judgment against the District, whereupon
the District appealed to the Court of Ap-
peals. In disposing of the cases the latter
court, in an opinion written by Mr.. Justice
Morris, holds that as the Police Court has
concurrent jurisdiction in the matter with
the District Supreme Court, no writ OF
cert,orari should have been granted. The
appellate court also calls attention to the
fact that in the absence of specific statute
the District has no right of appeal in a
criminal case. Finally, the court holds that
as Congress had fully legislated on the
subject by the organization Of the park
ing commission, 1t was withdrawn from
municipal control, and the corporation was
without authority to enact the ordinance
Of 1862, SO far as the ordinance applied to
streets and avenues improved in whole
or in part by the United States.

RAILROADS BEHIND TIME.

Mandamus Proceedings to Compel
Them to showi Their Reports.
At no time since the interstate commerce
commission came into existence has there
been such delay on the part of railroad
companies in sending in their annual re-
ports as seems to prevail this year. The
law requires these reports to be filed not
later than September Is. All the leading
roads have compiled with 1t, but many
roads have not. The cause Of this delin-
quency is supposed to have some connec-
ton with the general depression and dimin-
ished earnings which may affect railroad
stocks. AS a rule, freight rates remain as
usual, but shipments have fallen off,
The commission is preparing petitions to
the United States courts for mandamus
writs to compel the roads that are in de-
fault to file their reports at once.

Outside Dealers Favor Bryan, While
Mckinley Was the FavOrite Inside.
There was time when the line of coun-
try people at the market was very short on
election day, because the farmers remained
at their homes 20 vote, but now 1T is diff
ferent. Scores of farmers, who have an
idea that there will be a good market be-
cause of the scarcity of countrymen on the
line take advantage of the supposed op-
portunity with tEe result that the supply
is larger than on ordinary days. This
morning there was a fine display of farm
produce along the line and many of the
countrymen had come Jnly a short dis
tanCe, so that after market hours thew
could reach home in time to cast their bal
lots.
Many political discussions were heard
tEls morning, although there were too
many Bryan people to make any excite
1nent Mckinley people were scarce, and,
OF course, the voters from Maryland and
Virginia were extremely confident. One
Old farmer, who had voted for many a
presidential candidate, said he was going to
stay here to near the returns tonight. He
lives In the old dominion, and he said he was
not bothered about voting, because he knew
Bryan would sweep the state and have
thousands of votes to spare.
With the Marylanders 1t was different.
for they felt that their votes were neces-
Sary and were therefore going to return
in time to cast their ballots. So far as
bet made, and this was one of seven cents
and an apple between a colored man from
Maryland and Bryan man from the old
dominion There were other Bryan men
who wanted to bet produce, horses or hats
on their state. but because of a scarcity
of Mckinley men the bets were not taken
Different Feeling Inside.
Inside the market the dealers, both DEM
ocrats and republicans. generally favored
the election of the OhiOan from a husfnaS,
standpoint. Most of them seemed to think
depressing effect on business, and some Of
them were really anticipating a reduction
in orders for goods in the event of Bryan's
election. Among some of the dealers in
meats and fish the prediction was ventured
that several failures might follow the sue
cess of Bryan, while one Of the florists said
he hoped Mckinley would win, for, he
said, Bryan men don't buy flowers. On
the other hand. of course some few Bryan
men were confident that the success Of the
tree coinage party would mean better busi-
ness and more money, but these men were
scarce compared with those who favored
the election Of Mckinley.
Light Fish Market,
The fish market, although well stocked.
shows the effect the election is having on
the Down river fishermen. Most of the fish
ermen leave the river and so to their
homes to vote, and in doing so take a
weeks holiday. 1t Is during this season
that the fishermen repair their nets and
boats and allow the small METERS an op-
portunity to reap harvest. This morn
Ing the supply of fish on the river steam
ers was smaller than 1t has been at any
| time since the opening of the season. There
are several hundred fishermen down the
river and their votes may change the re-
suit In some of the counties.
