We had a call this morning from
DR.. T. A. La Far, who has taken
the lecture field and is here to ar
range for one of his lectures which
he proposes to give IN short time.
The lecturer was at one time con.
nected with the Lost Cause, and
when the Confederates evacuated
Richmond, he alone gathered up all
the flags of the Confederacy and
carried them off safely, and after
ward presented them to his native
state, South Carolina, and they
hang in the state house now at
Columbia. The Doctor bears in
pamphlet form, many testimonials
as to his worth, from such men as
Jefferson Davis, General NJ. c. But
Ter, Wade Hampton and hundreds
of others. His press notices from
Baltimore papers and other large
places, put him down as a lecturer
of rare entertaining powers. We
found him a pleasant talker and
hope to see more of him.

a best way in everything. The best
way to overcome or prevent malaria,
to conquer incipient rheumatism or
kidney trouble, and to relieve
dyspepsia, blliousness, constipation

Havana's Defenders.
I could not but admire the soldiers who

These were the civil guards and volunteers
or fair size, neat In dress, good soldierly
appearance and attending strictly to duty
they were men such as any country might
be proud Of Their uniforms were of sub

guard carried a modern carbine to which
was affixed a sword-bayonet, and from his
belt hung a light. straight machete, not
very different from the famous Cuban
weapon. The Cuban machetes are made in
the United States, and are the best in the
world. The Spanish machete, weighing
about one-haH a. much, Is a product Of
the famous works at Toledo. Spain.
The officers of the civil guards and the
volunteers are usually men prominent In
business or social circles Of the metropolis
They are appointed through favor and. in

OF the rank and file, has been questioned.

THE RATS KNOW RILEY,
Shares Luncheon With Them and Has

Shares Luncheon With Them and Has
Their Confidence.
From the Indianapolis Journal
Addison Riley, blacksmith. in the en-
ploy Of G. H. Shower, at 172 East Market
street, has a small company of rats that
come at his call each noon hour. AS with
the celebrated Pied Piper Of Hamelin, the
rats come from their holes at his bidding;
but with the case of Mr.. Riley, it is food
full treatment, however, he has taught
them to know him, and they are no more
afraid of him than Of bushel Of corn.
Each noon, as Mr.. Riley sits down to his
lunch the rats begin to come. and so great
is their confidence in him that they will
climb on his lap. eat from his hand, and
allow him to stroke them. After the meal
they will scamper back under the worn
floors of the shop.
The process by which Riley has succeed
ed in training the rats has been a tedious
one. He commenced by getting them TO
come little way from their holes for
crumbs. He then increased the distance
between the food and the rats retreat.
They finally learned that he meant them
no HARM and now he is regarded by them
as a great friend. The novelty of rats
coming from their places of safety to eat
from the hands of a man has attracted
many people to the blacksmith shop dur
ing noon hours. The rats will not venture
far out when any strangers are near at
hand. A stranger may stand a few feet
away, but it is observed that all the while
the rats are running about Riley they have
an eye on the stranger, and at the slightest
move they run away as fast as possible.

Leaving Havana.
Remaining In Havana several weeks at
the outset, I paid almost daily visits to the
palace Of the captain general to the Amer.
lean consulate and to other points In the
city where news might be found. The PAL
ace officials, must confess were not back
ward in the matter of supplying informa-
ton. and very kindly gave me free access
to all official dispatches from the various
sections Of the island. This extreme cour-
tesy I fully appreciated at the time, and
so informed the officials But after while
it dawned upon me that there was a strange
sameness to all the reports that came in.
The rebels were being beaten and driven
back at all points; their loss was usually
very heavy. comparatively. and the gov
ernment loss very light; Gomez was
wounded about SO often, and between
wounds he was dying of consumption, while
poor Maceo was shot to pieces every three
or four days. I began to believe that the
scattered pieces of the energetic leader
were being made targets of by Spanish col
umns in various sections. One day he was
reported killed at two points in the prov
sixty miles apart.

sixty miles or more to another place to
again meet the grim monster.
Maceo's Dual Death.
In the forenoon, when had read the first
report L forthwith cabled it to my paper
I was rather nonplussed by the evening
story, but In order to keep up with the
times, as well as with the other newspa-
per men, 1t devolved upon me to wire it
also. The next morning an inquiry from a
newspaper read: will you please inform us
where Maceo met death?" Other official
reports had come in in the meantime, and
1 cabled the answer: Don't think he has
met it anywhere. Reports this morning
show him still on the co.
1 do not think the reports were doc
tored' at the palace, bu, rather am 1 in
clined to believe that the correspondents
saw them just as they were sent in. The
various officers in charge of columns and
detachments at the different points were
in my opinion, endeavoring to deceive the
government at ali times They were isolat-
ed in many instances, ard there was no
way of contradicting successfully the news
they might forward to the captain general
for their own glory.
It was very plain to me after time that
