owned very valuable property in Cali

over 100000, but he is.said to have left
a small fortune yet.
Charles Evans prosperity is due to
bis ability as a book agent-on the
stage, for that character in "a Parlor
Match" proved gold mine to him.

Herald Square theater, and six figures
would be required to demonstrate his
prosperity.
Lotta is accredited with owning valu-
able real estate in every large city in the
United States. She is the wealthiest
woman in the profession, and although
she could live as elaborately as desired
with her enormous income, she lives;
plainly and in anything but eXtrava-
gance. Her mother and herself are rs
shrewd pair of financiers in petticoats

Resolutions as They ALMOST Unanimously
Passed the HOIise.

WASHINGTON, March. 3-Fo11owipg
are the resolutions passed by the house
yesterday as substitute for the SEN
ate resolutions on the Cuban question.
They were adopted by vote of 263
yeas to II nays:
Resolved BY the house of representatives
(the senate concurrtng) that in the opinion of
congress a state of public war exists in Cuba,
the parties to which are entitled to belliRerent
rights and the United States should observe a
strict neutrality between the bel1igerents.
Resolved That congress deploreS the de-
struction of life and property caused by the
war now waging in the island and believing
that the only permanent solution of the con-
test equally in the interest of Spain, the peo-
pie of Cuba and other nations Would be in the
establishment of a government by the choice of
the people of Cuba it is the sense of congress
that the government of the United States
should use its good offices and friendly in
f1uence to that end.
Resolved, That the United States has not
interviewed in struggles between any European
governments and their colonies on this c onti-
nent; but from the very close relations between
the people of the United States and those OF
Cuba in consequence of its proximity and the
extent of it's commerce between the two peo-
ples the present war is entailing such losses
upon the people of the United States that con-
gress is of the opinion that the government of
the United States should be prepared to pro-
tect the legitimate interests of Americans by
intervention if necessary.

stood upon the highest point of the
pyramid and held up my own fore
finger in the air. There was slight,
hardly perceptible prickling observ-
able on the skin of the finger which
was opposed to the wind. could only
explain this fact, observed by all of us,
IS an electrical phenomenon, and such
it proved to be. When l held up full
bottle of wine, the top of which was
covered with tinfoil, heard the same
singing sound as when the finger was
held up. At the same time little
sparks sprang continually from the
La bel to my hand, and when 1 touched
the head of the bottle with my other
hand received strong electric shock.
It is clear that the liquid inside the
bottle, brought into metallic connec-
ton with the metallic covering of the
head of the bottle through the damp
cork, formed the inner coating of a
Leyden jar, while the label and hand
formed the outer coating. When had
completed the outer coating of my bot
tie by wrapping it in damp paper, the
charge was so strong that [ could
make use of it as a very powerful
weapon of defense.
After the Arabs had watched our
proceedings for time with wonder,
they came to the conclusion that we
were engaged in sorcery, and requested
US to leave the pyramid. AS their re-
marks. when interpreted to us, were
without effect, they wanted to use the
power of the strongest to remove us
from the top by violence. / withdrew
to the highest point. and fully charged
my strengthened flask. when the Arab
leader caught hold of my hand and
tried to drag me away from the posi-
ton l had attained. At this critical
moment I approached the top of my
flask to within striking distance of the
tip of his nose, which might be about
ten millimeters. The action of the
discharge exceeded my utmost expec-
tation. The son of the desert, whose
nerves had never before received such
a shock, fell on the ground as though
struck by lightning, rushed away with
loud howl, and vanished with great
spring from our vicinity, followed by
the whole of his comrades. We had
now full opportunity of carrying
out our experiments Scientific

When Napoleon Became a Parsonage"
Augereau, who had fondly hoped
tor enter the directory, was made
commander, in Moreau's place, of an
army whose campaigns were over.
The premature death of Hoche about
the same time quenched the only
military genius in France comparable
to that of Bonaparte, and removed a
political rival as we'll. The army of
the Alps was then combined with that
of Italy, and with this simp1ifcati ton
of the military machine he who until
peace was made would be virtually its
mover could we'll say to his enemies:
Il speak in the name of $4,000 men.
The time is past when scoundrelly law
yers and mere takers can guillotine
soldiers" Napoleon, in his intimate
conversations with Nine. de Remusat,
said that at this time he "became a
parsonage in Europe. On one side, by
my orders OF the day, | supported the
revolutionary system; on the other, l
secretly dealt with the emigrants, per-
hitting them to cherish some hope. It
is easy to deceive that party, for 1t
always sets out not from what actually
is, but-from what it wishes there were.
I received splendid offers in case were
