NO CHANGE OF POLICY.
Rumors About Intervention in Cuban
Affairs Seem to BE Unfounded.

Washington, Oct. 20.-It can be stated
on good authority that there has been
no change in the declared policy of the
government with respect TO Cuba, nor is
any contemplated. As is well known. the
sympathies of the administration, as in
dividuals, in a large measure are with
the insurgents, but there will raver be
any intervention other than amicable on
the part of Mr.. Cleveland.
1t can be stated that the sending of
the. revenue cutter Window to sea with
sealed orders has no special significance
whatever beyond the purpose of the
treasury department officials to keep Sc
cIet from Cuban agents the movements
of the revenue fleet. Hitherto the insur-
gents agents In this country, through
Cuban sympathizers, have managed to
secure all necessary information regard
ing any, contemplated movement in ad-
vance of our own officers, and as a re-
suit the purpose of the government has
been defeated.

IN M'KINLEY'S DISTRICT.

Would Patch Nebraska q Mile.

Mckinley's congressional district and is
republican stronghold. That was ap-
parent when Mr.. Bryan arrived there
this morning, for while he had a large
crowd, it was made up for the most part
of shouting McIlinleyites. He said in
part:
"We. can support our position in this
campaign by the authority of even those
who today are silent upon the subject
l can call your attention to a speech
made by Mckinley in 1891, in which he
denounced Mr.. Cleveland's action. My
friends, | am glad to know that there
are those here who cheer for him, be-
cause l want to ask them which Nc
kinley they cheer for, the Mckinley
who six years ago wanted more money,
or the Mckinley of this year, who does
not want any more money. (Applause.)
Do you want the one who six years ago
believed in the American people having
an American system of finance, or do you
want the one who believes now in the
American people having European
system of finance? Do you believe in
the one who attended convention and
wrote a platform which declared that
the American people, from tradition
and interest, are in favor of bimetallism
or do you believe in the one who says
the American people can not have bi-
metallism until foreign nations will let
us have it," CHEERS and applause.)
Yellow predominated at East Liver
pool, when, shortly after 10 o'clock. the
democratic nominee addressed large
crowd at that place. He had trouble in
making himself heard. because of the
cheering for his opponent. Every mani
festation of affection for the republican
nominee was answered by defiance, yells
and cheers of the supporters of the free
silver champion.
Mr. Bryans speech was of the same
general tenor as his silver discussions.

TAME WILD ANIMALS.

Down in Maine Deer Sometimes Become
Quite Neighborly.
Some OF the people who live On the
edge of the Maine woods have been
betwiXt the devil and the deep sea-"
as the phrase is, with the game law or
one side of them and the dispositi
of the protected animals to be neigh
borly on the other. Said woman i'll
the Piscataquis backwoods:
"a deer can be tanned as easily as aIy
other animal, and sometimes they are
bound to be tanned whether you want
them or not. A few years ago young
deer came out with our cattle and
grazed round with them and came up
to the barnyard at night. He didn't
seem a bit frightened, and l gave il
some milk. 1t drank readily. and neXt
day wanted some more. l could pat il
and fondle it as well as l could cossct
lamb. 1t stayed around with our cattle
for several weeks, when one day a game
warden came and said l was liable u
. penalty for keeping the deer and
feeding it. The, l tried to drive il
away, and the way he would come UP
III spite of my threats and attempts:
to scare it. and coax for milk was pitiful
to see. I had the hardest work to
make him go away, and for a long time
he'd keep coming back to our place"
A similar case occurred in Portland
last summer where seal came to
fsherman's boat and followed it for
Il number of days and wouldn't drive
off,
These instances of tame wild ami
mails remind Maine gentleman of what
he saw in Mayfeld few years ago. He
was driving through that town, and
at place where he stopped his hostess,
Il handsome young woman, asked him
is he wanted to see deer. Taking q
dish with some grain in it, or some
thing of that sort, she went down the
lane to the edge of the woods and
stopped, calling in low tone some
name. Presently a fine large buck
came out of the woods and trotted up
10 her as tame as any colt could be-
He stuck his nose in the dish and
'nunchcd the food, while she patted
his neck and talked to him. When
she left him to come back to the house

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.
Improvements Which Make Their Use
Hardly Noticeable.

Improvements Which Make Their Use
Hardly Noticeable.
Painstaking skill and constant I'M
provement are necessary factors in the
perfection or success of almost any IN
dustry, but nowhere, says the Mex.
York Mail and Express, are they mo q
fully attended than in the making o.
artificial limbs. There was time when
the lame and the crippled had to show
their defects and misfortunes to Tic
world. Now it is just the other way
People with artificial legs can now walk
SO perfectly as to avoid detection, and Il
person with a single amputation can
almost defy detection. improvements
make it possible to move the knee and
ankle joints, and this innovation also
strengthens the whole limb and makes
il more durable.
One of the latest improvements is in
the knee joint of the leg for thigh am
putation, which is SO arranged that
when in a sitting position the cord and
spring are entirely relaxed, thus re-
lieving all strain and pressure. There
are in the United States 10000 persons
who have to be supplied with new limbs
on an average of once in every five to
eight years. The manufacturing of.
these articles in New York has become
quite an enterprise.
