A Regiment for Cuba.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 11.-An afternoon
paper to-day publishes long story to the
effect that a regiment of 1,5OO men to figh!
in Cuba was being raised in the cities OF
Baltimore, New York, Boston, Washing
ton and Philadelphia and that another
company has already been raised in the
States of Virginia and Tennessee. Phila-
delphia's quota towards the regiment be-
ing raised in the eastern cities Is given at
300 men, and it is said that about S5 men
have already been enlisted here. The
men are to receive S25 a month pay and
must be American citizens Of good repu-
tation. Capt. Wn. 81. Hanley is said to
be enlisting the Philadelphia battalion
Captain Hanley is said to have served 1e
years in the United States army in the
Fourth infantry, Fourth artillery and
Second cavalry and was discharged from
the service in 1856.
Col. julius Il. Rhodes, pension agent
of Washington, is given as the man under
whose direction the regiments are being
raised and it is stated that he has estab-
lished headquarters at 423 Massachusetts
avenue, Washington, D. G. The bat
telions of the two regiments are to sail
from different points on the eastern
coast and are to unite on the high seas
where the men will be formally enrolled
and &C avoid violation Of the neutrality
law

Mothers Face Saved Him.

Suicide and the state Of the mind
when bent upon self-destruction was
the somewhat curious subject upon
which the conversation Of a group at
Wisconsin Cub hinged last night.
It was recalled that in a room Of the
club a crazed travelling man had liter
ally hacked himself to pieces last
summer.
"No sane man would deliberately
and premeditatedly kill HIMSELF as
serted one of the group.
Carlo Puelle, who presides over the
clubs buffet, who had been an inter-
ested listener, shook his head in dis
sent. He went to drawer of the
buffet and took out packet of letters
and big six-shooter.
"That weapon" he said, "came
very near ending his life once, and in
a way too that disproves your claim
that only insane or temporarily de-
ranged people commit suicide. 1t all

THE SOUTH AND PENSIONS.
Constant and Heayy Drains on this Sec.
tion.
Macon Tele11'dDh.

A careful analysis of the statement
contained in the recent report of the
secretary of the interior, showing the
amount of pensions paid to citizens of
the different States develop some very
interesting and astounding facts. In
round numbers the total of the pen
sion payments were $40, 100000 In
asmuch as the total population of the
country is approximately 7O,0OO,0OO,
it follows that each individual citizen
of the United States is srequired to con-
tribute 50 to the pension fund.
Figuring on this basis, the follow
ing showing Of the groups of States
which pay larger amount for pension
purposes than they receive in pensions
and the contrary, is instructive.
These groups contribute an excess,
approximately, to the amounts in

a quartette OF pretty. but thin-voiced girls,
with a liberal anatomical display and reck-
less exposure of dainty lingerie. From
that time on during the evening the fun

HE BECAME EXCITED,
And Unfamiliarity With Court Etiquette
Cost Him IS.


Michael Quinn told Attorney F.
E. Sims that he owned a cabin down on
the tide fats. and that Joseph Leschneli
held possession In spite of all his efforts
to GUST him. Leschnell was arrested for
forcible detainer. and after several pre-
liminary bouts the case came before Judge
Glasgow yesterday afternoon for final de-
termination.
Mr.. Quinn took the stand and swore to
the facts stated in the complaint. Attorney
Sims smiled, leaned hack In his chair and
waited for Attorney Winstock. who repre-
scented Leschnell. TO go ahead with the
concentration. Step by step Win
stock brought out a story OF how Quinn
had purchased a shack on the water front
several years ago. and removed 1t to the
property of Joseph Mcknight Quinn did
not pay rent. and the result was that the
sheriff of King county dispossessed him.
After this. under q suitcase, Leschnell
got possession. Attorney Winstock COM
menced smiling. and Attorney Sims looked
at his client as much as to say: why
didn't you tell me all this?" Then up
jumped Winstock. and produced some pa
pers which he said Mr.. Hicks a witness
in the case. had copied from records OF
the superior court, and which related to
the eviction of Mr.. Quinn.
This excited Mr.. Quinn. who remarked
In his delightful brosue that "Sore-Eyed
Iilcks WIS a lar. Attorney SUITS came
near fainting. for all OF his efforts to check
the witness had been Of no avail. The
crowd ia the courtroom exhibited signs
OF nlerriment. and Baili1 Brooks scowled.
Judge Glasgow looked at Mr.. Quinn in
amazement. and then remarked;
II will teach you that you cannot sit In
the witness chair In this court and call
people liars. You are fined s. for contempt
OF court"
Tha casa uyaz dismissed and tha cosfS
were taxed to the prosecuting witness.
Sims then advised Quinn not to pay the
bill and Judge Glasgow expressed q wish
that Sims would take Quinn out OF his
hearing II he was going TO advise him TO
disobey an order OF court. Sims raised
the point that the court had already been
adjourned, and so the matter was dropped.
