thing. As the candidates stood upon the
rear platform with their neals barred
number of young men pushed up with a
big Bryan banner and showed It under
the noses OF :he generals. Several ct-
forts OF General Duckner TO speak were
Interrupted by cries nt deris!on, many
in the crowd yelling: Look at the Nc

Suing at this last fInS, General Buck

A very remarkable thing happened
Yesterday. Senator Stewart spoke for
fifteen minutes without mentioning "the

The Persistency with which Mr.. Stew

the Nevada senator is making a speech.
Yesterday MIR. Stewart followed Senator

"l'll bet you he mentions the crime of

whers Women Are Queens.

Not even in America are women such
absolute monarchs as in heather Bur-
nah. There, in law and custom, woman
is on absolutely the same footing as
man. In spite of this, it is claimed no
women are more womanly than the Bur
mese women, whose good sense enables
them to perceive the line where they
ought to stop.
In the higher classes, a woman has
property of her own and manages it
herself In the lower classes she al
ways has trade and runs her business
on her own responsibility. The sexes
choose their own occupations. and it is
curious to see the men sometime sew
ing and embroidsging. while the women
have nearly ali the retail trade of the
island on their hands.
Just as the men farm their lands. the
women run their business. They do not
hire cut to others, but trade on their
own account, and with the exception of
being in the silk or cloth business it
does not interfere with their home life.
The bazaar lasts but three hours each
day, and the woman has ample time for
her home duties after that's ever

CURIOUS SPORT IN CUBA.
Cruel and Barbariods Amusements with Ducks,
Chickens and Bulls.

Cruel and Barbariods Amusements with Ducks,
Chickens and Bulls.
Cubans of the riddle and lower
classes indulge rting blood in
pastimes which tolerated
in country having society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals, says
the New York Herald
On fete days in the smaller towns and
Villages which can't support a bull fight
favorite sport is to hang a sleek, fat
duck by the feet from a wire or rope
stretched between two trees or posts on
the village plaza. The head of the
duck hangs just out of reach of a man
on horseback and the "sport" consists
in riding under he poor duck at full
speed, grabbing it by the neck and pull
ing its head off. A ducks neck will
stretch a great deal and it requires a
firm hold and determined jerk to yank
off the prize.
The duck frequently resists the efforts
of half dozen riders before parting
with its head The horsemen some
times miss the duck entirely, loose their
balance and roll off the saddle into the
dust This furnishes fun for everybody
except the duck.
The game may also be played on the
water, in which case the line on which
the duck hangs is stretched between the
masts of two anchored boats and row
beats are substited for horses.
In another country game a chicken is
buried alive in the ground to the neck,
its head alone being visible. The men
who enter the game are blind-folded
and armed with machete, a long knife
used in cutting cane. They are walked
around in confusing circles for few
minutes and then released for an attack
IN the chickens head. The one who
,uts off the head clean in the fewest
lumber of strokes wins the prize.
In default of bull fight the Cubans
indulge in bull batting game on which
money is wagered A bull is released
n an Enclosure which is too small to
i've him much play and from which he
annot escape. Any one who wishes
lay enter a dog to fight the bull The
og which succeeds in securing a neck
r nose hold on the bull and brings
inn to the ground wins the game. From
half dozen to fifteen dogs are often en-
red against the bull and their owners
ct large sums on heir candidates. AL
Tough all the dogs worry and fight the
all and consequently all are response
e for his ultimate overthrow, yet only
lie dog which actually brings him to
rth is the winner
