KAISER BELIEVES IN CUBA.
He Declares the Island is Lost to
Spain.

Berlin. Jan. 25.-It is stated upon good
authority that the emperor in conversation
with a guest at dinner in the Castle Thurs
day evening, expressed his opinion that the
island of Cuba was lost to Spain.
The best course for Spain to take, the
kaiser is alleged to have said, would. be
to come to some sort of an arrangement
with the United States whereby She could
obtain some substantial return for the
cession OF the island, but he was OF the
notion that it was probably too late Tor
even such u transaction as that now.

II was the law of the village hat al
showmen, it%inerauts and organ-grinders
must get a license before doing business
there. One day a fat policeman, who
had been on the force six months with
out doing anything. concluded it was
time he arrested somebody. Soon aft
srward along came m Italian with a
performing bear.
"Hev yez got yer ~liceuse?' asked the
policeman.

liceman. and he tr~iumphantly marched

Arraigned before the police justice
the Italian pleaded guilty and the judge
oficiously gave him a most severe and
scorching lecture on the enormity Of bis

full extent of the law.
The culprit had a lot of small change
in bis pocket but being mostly pennies
and nickels 1t only counted mp to 81. 50.
For q few moments the Judge was in Il
q~ua,dary. He didn't want to send the
fellow TO Jail nor yet lose the $40. Pres

solution OF the problem he said:

MADE THE BURGLAR WORK.
A Night wstchmsa TsEEor!zea the Ma
rauder With IN Unlosdrd Revolver.

A very large and hopeful burglar,
with a gunny sack in which to carry
away hi plumber. pried off the seattle
cap OF a cellar belonging to the Menlo
Park Manufacturing company last night
and dropped lightly down into the
vault beneath, says the \. Y. Herald.
WheS his eyes became accustomed 10
the gloom he found 4 man who had
heard him coming standing in a heroic
attitude with a revolver pushed in his
face.
The armed one was Albert NJ. Whit
tier, night Waterman and engineer OF
the building. Up with your hands"
said Whittier, and mp the hands went
as If they had been trained 10 the bust
ness and had done nothing else all their
lives.
The position was a pleasant one for
Whittier. All he had 10 do was to keep
his pistol in position aud wait till morn
inc, when fifty workmeu would rush in,
bind the prisoner and escort him 10
triumph to the nearest Jail.
Bat who was to look after the fires:
This thought occurred to Whittier
after about IN hour had passed. and the
burglars hands had grown white
through holding them up toe long and
letting the blood get emptied out.
"See here, said the engineer. IF |
turn my back on you to attend TO the
furnaces you'll pick up a bit of coal OF
something and hit me a bif on the head,
steal everything in the house. aud then
20 home TO your family
The burglar said nothing, but looked
a lot.
Then" went on the engineer, IF |
don't attend TO the furnaces the place'l
blow up. or the steam III go down. and
then therell be all sorts of things TO
pay"
m agsstser Isl sae ms sa ne ,I Ao%s 4 y %s ssssaR s.
ing hopefully up to the scuttle cap.
That seemed the only way out of it.
Whittier thought and thought, keeping
the revolver cooked the while. Sud-
denly he burst out sith:
Say! Did you ever fire n f~urnace?"
Nav" quoth the burglar. "Lemme
90 home TO me mudder.'
well, get a move on YOU, you son
of y pirate. Take that shove, and put
INC COdi III. NOW TURN tue ITtc. Ion I
you know how to turn fires? Well,
you've got i've hours to learn. Hurry
up, darn you, OF there's a bullet wait
ing for you here if you don't"
At the point Of the revolver Whittier
kept the burglar working all night
When he wasn't busy at the coal he
kept him polishing up the brasswork,
and after he had finished the brasswork
he made him swab the floor and empty
out ashes. The burglar admitted that
he hadn't done any work before for five
years. When the workmen came in
in the morning and took him off to the
police station he almost tainted from
exhaustion.
He was taken 10 the New Brunswick
jail. He gave his name as George
Kline, and afterward said he guessed il
was George Edwards. IL is supposed
that he is a member OF q gang that has
been looting buildings about Metuchen
and Menlo Park.
Whittier said to his wife when he
went home: Lucky thing all round,
isn't il, that that blamed burglar didn't
notice my pistol wasn't loaded
