Why Men Fai, a. Lovers.

1T Is a question with me-" says
writer In the Ladies' Home Journal,
whether a woman ever knows all the
joys of lovemaking who has one of
those dumb, silent husbands who doubt
less adores her, but is able to express
it only in deeds. 1t requires an act OF
will to remember that his getting
downtown at o'clock every morning
is all done for you, when he hasn't been
able to tell you in words that he loves
you. 1t Is hard to get letter telling
about the weather and how busy he Is,
when the same amount Of space saying
that he got to thinking about you yes
terday when he saw girl on the street
who looked like you, only she didn't
carry herself as well as you do, and
that he loves you, good-by-would have
fairly made your heart turn over with
JOY and made you kiss the hurried lines
and thrust the letter in your belt, where
you could crackle it now and then just
to make sure 1t was there. Nearly all
nice men make good lovers in deeds.
A great many fail at some important
crisis in the handling of words

LONDON, March 6.-The British Blue
Book on the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute was laid on the table of the house
Of commons today. The following is a
summary Of the position of Great Brit
ain as published in the work referred
to:
Long prior to, and at the time of
the treaty Of Munster, in 1916, the
Dutch founded settlements in various
parts Of British Guiana, particularly
on the'coast. The only Spanish settle
ment prior to them was at Santo Home
de Guayana. During the whole period
from 164S to 1896 the Dutch has unin-
terrupted possession of the entire coast
line and the River Corentin to Barima.
During the same period they had ex-
plored the upper portions of nearly all
the rivers, and made many settlements
in adjacent districts. Prior to 1928
there was no settlement. of Spaniards
except Santo Home de Guayana. Be
tween 1924 and 1896 Capuchin missions
were established southwark of the
Orinoco and gradually extended east
ward towards the Dutch territory, the
furthest point occupied by the Span
iards being Tummeremo, founded about
1888. Before 1886 the Dutch had set
tied far up the Cuyuni, a Dutch post
was established near the Yuruary, and
the Dutch had full control of the whole
basin of the Cuyuni"
SUCCEEDED THE DUTCH.
Except for the settlement of Santo
Home dc Guayana and their missions,
the Spaniards exercised no authority
in the territory now in dispute Great
Britain, on becoming possessor of the
colony, succeeded to all the rights of
the Dutch. After 1896. Great Britain
extended her settlements and exercised
over the territory originally claimed
by the Dutch all the rights whereby ma
tions usually indicate a claim to ter
ritory. Neither Spain nor Venezuela,
after the latter had declared her inde-
pendence, at any time had possession
OF or dominion over the territory in
question. Great Britain, while main
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-03-07

tanning he1 just rights, has consistently
shown desire to, make fair arrange
ment with Venezuela in regard to the
boundary. The claim of Venezuela
that her territory extends to the Es-
sequibo is based on conditions in no
wise supported by facts and cannot be
justified on any reasonable ground.
''The foregoing thus establishes Great
Britain in her strict right to be en-
titled to the territory extending to
Barima, including the watersheds of
the Esseq Iibo, Cuyuni, Yuruary, POM
aroon, Waini and Barima."

HAVANA, March 6.-Upon the oc
casion of a visit which Gen. Weyler
paid to the Casino Espanol here today,
the president, Francisco Santos Gus
man, in receiving his distinguished WIS.,
itor, made a short address. in the
course of which he said:
81 have come in the name of the
Casino to protest against the injurious
calumnies Of some American senators
toward Spain and toward her worthy
representatives on this island and at
the same time to protest against the
resolutions of both houses of the Unit
ed States congress in favor Of recog-
nizing as belligerents hordes of rebels.
In so doing they are voting against
the rights Of our people, and with man.
ifest lack Of consideration for Spanish
loyalty and friendship. We reiterate
our unconditional adhesion to the gov
ernment of Spain,I and to the person
of her worthy representative, at whose
side we are and will be with all we
have" o -
Gen. Weyler, in reply, thanked the
Casino for it's loyal sentiments, and
assured the members that their sup
port will be utilized when needed. Re-
ferring to the alleged injurious "cal-
umnies and insults of, the enemies Of
Spain and their synIpathizers, "the gen.
eral said he was not astonished at it,
nor did it affect him to know that they
hated and feared him. r But he claimed
all the imputations made against him
were false, and he insisted, on the con-
trary, he had proved his uprightness
by accomplishing happily and eff
GENTLY the duties assigned to him.
The general also said that he
REGRETTED THE HOSTILITY
which some United States senators ex-
hibited towards Spain, especially, he
explained, as the Spanish authorities
on this island treat citizens of the
United States with more consideration
| and assign to them more prerogatives
than to any other people. In spite of
this, he said, hostility was manifested
towards Spain.
In the meanwhile, continued Gen.
! Weyler, he hoped President Cleveland
would persevere in his attitude in op-
position to the resolutions, and ex-
pressed the satisfaction of the authorl-

Robert Pratt, sometimes called the
Silent Mayor" spoke right out in
meeting at the city council session
last night, and raped the aldermen
over the knuckles in a tart message
anent the asphalt paving situation.
Mayor Pratt told why he had signed
the resolution designating asphalt as
the material to be used; the reason
was, his honor had to admit, the
council had the balance of power.
But his honor intimated that If the
council wanted to have his support
when it came to letting contracts, that
all bids now in the hands of the city
clerk would have to be returned to the
bidders, and a new set solicited. The
mayor charged the existence of a strong
and unfair combination among the
asphalt companies and said if the al
dermen wanted to take suspicion Of
corruption from their shoulders. they
would reject all bids. smash UP the
combine among the companies and
grant Washington avenue property
owners granite blocks, and Second
avenue south brick. The city engineer
filed his formal estimates of the cost
of paving each street, and under the
rules, the whole matter was laid over
for another week.

the captain general remarked: There

one class of persons who are in urgent
need Of this wonderful remedy to make
and keep them well. Business men who
are not sleeping soundly, shop girls
made pale and sickly by long hours
Of indoor work, and the countless suf-
ferers from dyspepsia, kidney and liver
trouble, need the invigorating effect of
Paine's celery compound now that
spring, with all It's dangers, is at hand.
It's prominence as health-maker
comes from it's extraordinary powers
Of supplying appropriate nutriment to
the blood, nerves and brain.
Just as the great lawyer studies each
one Of his cases till he knows it on
every side, and in every possible as
pect, so Prof. Edward E. Phelps M. D.,
IL. D.. of Dartmouth college, the Gis-
coverer Of Paine's celery compound,
had studied the nerves in health and
disease, when well nourished and when
under-nourished, in men and women
and children, years before he looked for
the remedy. Paine's celery compound
was the outcome of his entire profess
sional life. A fitting memorial to a
