HOnors Were Easy.

A Partisan journalist recently
wrote a rather unfavorable criticism
OF the performance of a we'll known
actress. The latter was keenly
wounded and watched for a chance
to avenge herself. She was one
evening at the Varieties with a
young %aristocrat for an escort when
she espied the critic. She had a
package with her which she request
ed her friend to deliver in person.
The dandy rose, and, taking the
package ove to where the journal.
ist was sitting with a party, pre-
sented it to him, saying, "Mauemoi.
selle, who admlres your talent has
requested nue. to present you with
this as a souvenir from her."
The critic took it and opened it
before his friends, who had heard
the dandy's little speech. 1t JON
tanned about a dozen goose quilts,
and smiles and suppressed laughter
went around. But the critic was
equal to the occasion.
"Ah. my dear SIR" said he to the
messenger, please give my best
thanks to the young lady for these
pretty feathers. I was aware of the
fact that she plucked her admirers,
but I really did not imagine she did
so ON my account. STRAND Maya.

The Legislature of Utah has passed
a bill abolishing the office of coro-
ner. That is a very sensible reform.
1t would puzzle anyone to tell why
that medieval survival has been per-
mitted to exist Sc long. The chief
function, that of holding inquests of
the dead, can better be performed
by the nearest justice of the peace.
The only other duty that he has is
to serve papers in case where the
sheriff is a party and that might be
easily covered by a provision author
izing the court to make a special
deputization in such cases. Let
'crowner's quest law" be relegated
to the limbo of the past The very
name of the office shows that it is
out Of place in a republic. Helena

Cubans Butt hered.

The Picayune's special Havana
letter dated March q, gives a sum-
mary of events personally investiga-
ted by the writer, which is declared
to be accurate in every particular:
In Balm, DR.. Vodal Stolopgo
made an operation on a poor old man,
and when he was convalescant he
was one night arrested and taken to
the armory Of the guardia civil,
where they dashed him all over the
body. They then took him on tie
outside of town, where they compel
led him to make a grave, where they
buried him after he had died from
the i'll treatment he had received.
On the plantation Calvador, of the
count de Barreto, Lieut.. Betancourt,
a Cuban by birth, belonging to the
troop Of Gen Aldecoa, shot to death,
after hacking him with his machete,
a def~enseless colored resident, WHO
was on his way to join his family.
On the first machete blow he lost ali
arm, and the second his head.
In the city of Batabano the chief
of police and other local authorities
arrested three individuals and took
them on the outskirts of the town.
where they were b%utchered and left
dead by the roadside, the murderers
bringing the report to the city that the
insurgents had killed the men.
In the village of San Felipe soldi-
ers under command of Col. Galbis
and Col. Linares captured three in.
offensive laborers and hacked them
to pieces, amid the laughter of the
troops, who shouted that they coule
not serve the insurgents any more

that all the Cubans possible shout

Accusations Against Permanent Man
Sproats and Other Phases of the
Difficulty viii BE Laid Before the
Fire Dep rtment Committees OF
Councils. What Some of the Mem.
bers Ih NIX About the Muddlc.

The trouble at the Franklin Engine
house is To be officially probed. The
city has decided to take a hand in the
matter and bring about Il settlement of
the difficulty, amicably if possible, but
a settlement at all events.
Pursuant to Il cali of Mayor Bailey.
the joint fire department committee of
councils met with him at his office last
night to advise with him as to what
course should he pursued in dealing
with the difficulty. Little time was
lost III arriving ut the conclusion that
the whole affair should be thoroughly
siftcd and something done TO put an
end to the trouble. Tomorrow night
was fixed as the time for holding the
investigation and it was agreed that
all the interested parties should be
summoned to present their stories. The
charges against Permanent Man
Sproats, which are in possession of
Mayor Bailey, will be then laid before
the committee and arguments in sub
stantiaton or refutation will be de-
clared i'm order.
The committee last night had little to
say pro and con concerning the case.
10 walt uItll lnt case was
more clearly presented before giving an
expression. Some of the members how
ever, took occasion to commit them
selves and it would appear that senti-
ment is pretty well divided as to merits
of the objectOrs' plants.
Captain Moir believed that inasmuch
as Sproats was not, nor never has been
a member of the company and Is and
always has been Objectionable to a ma
jority of them, he should not be per-
mitted to occupy the position he holds.
Messrs. Gordon, Noone and others held
that Sproats' appointment resulted
from the inability of the company to
agree upon any one of their own MEM
bers for the position, and as they re-
fuse ITO admit him to membership and
still fail to agree upon any other can
didate the company should be disbanded
and the apparatus turned over to a
new company.
The outcome of tomorrow nights
session is awaited with much interest.
