correct. The man who is now passing
is an irascible old gentleman, who believes
that all beggars are frauds. He win give
me nothing
He was right. The man looked as If such
was his character, and he passed on without
turning his head. II could tell it by the
way he touched the back of his boot heel to
the ground and then brought the rest of his
foot down with a snap continued the
blind man, land the siowness OF his steps
told me he was old.
Now, the next person is young girl, the
daughter of weli-to-do parents. She will
give me either few pennies or a nickel"
Sure enough the girl walked up and dropped
rowfuily in his face for a moment, she
passed on. The peculiar creak in her
shoes told me she must come from people
in good circumstances, for that creak is
produced only by very expensive footwear.
Then the fact that heard no frou frou of
the skirt about her heels conveyed to me
the knowledge that her dress did not come
down TO the ground and therefore she was
young.
ITO be sure, she might have been a
bicycle girl, but they wear stouter boots.
Did you notice her step? That's the chari-
table step. The foot is brought down to the
ground all at once, and strikes it softly
yet firmly" The selfish step, the proud
step and all the other steps were success
lively described, and the reporter walked
away with n thorough knowledge of foot
step lore.

Terrible Experience of Boy In An
Axle Factory.

AAtt
Scranton, Pa, July 23.-Robert Watkins,
aged sixteen years, of Cherry street, had
narrow escape from q terrible death
Tuesday evening. He is employed at the
axle works, and about O'Clock in the
afternoon he placed an axle in the jaws
of the vice and moved it over SO that it
could be touched by the knife Of the thread
cutter.
When the thread cutter began to operate
on it, the axle, which was not tightly Sc
cured, began 70 revolve and caught young
Watkins Jacket. The lads clothing was
soon So tightened that he could hardly
breathe. The heaXlebegan opress gainst his
abdomen and mutilate the flesh. The suf-
fering boy was helpless. He could not
reach the shaft or the belt of the machine
to stop it. The end of the revolving axle
became imbedded in the flesh and lifted
the boy, carrying him around and dashing
him against the floor.
Several workmen then saw the boys
perilous position and stopped the machine.
When young Watkins was extricated it was
found that he was terribly mutilated. The
flesh with which the axle came in contact
was torn into shreds. The boy was taken
to his home. His recovery is very doubtful.

CUBAN HOSPITALS BURNED.
Spanish Soldiers Murder Both Physi-

Key West, Fla, July 23.-Private letters
from Matanzas, Cuba, to responsible mer-
chants in this city give shocking details con-
nected with the capture OF rebel hospitals
by the Spanish, located, respectively, at
Isabel and Magdalena, in that province.
Drs. Roig and Izquierdo, surgeons OF the
Cuban army, in charge, with their assist
ants and corps of nurses, were all, it
is alleged, put to the machete, while the
helpless ill and wounded were assassinated
in their cots and the buildings then burned
over their heads to cover up the crime.
Small insurgent detachments guarding the
hospitals made desperate, but vain, de-
fense against overpo owering forces.

S0npIe fOYulkSt kUP-0UcAlm$s
The hue and cry of the Populists
is Reform" Special Favors to
None" Equal Distribution Of Of
fees" etc. How much sincerely
these is in all these professions
may be seen by referring to the
proceedings of the Grant parish
police jury this week, where it will
be seen that Mr.. j. e. Dunn, as a
reward for his partisanship, has
been given three big fat public
teats to suck, viz: the clerkship of
the police jury, the treasuryship of
the parish and school funds, and
the public printing of the parish,
all of them Offices of trust and
profit, and aggregating an annual
salary of several hundred dollars.
Now, we have no great fault to find
with Mr.. Dunn for taking all he
can get honestly, even though the
law be technically strained to heap
Offices on him, and we shall rather
enjoy seeing him grow "fat and
sassy" with plump teat in each
hand, and another in his mouth, as
be works the old COW for all she is
worth. We cannot, however, view
the action of our Populist police
jurors with 80 much liberation.
Their professions as "Reformers"
should have forbidden any such
