WASHINGTON. -. c.. April 1O-Tbe
Cabinet meeting today lasted barely am
hour and half, and was apparently de
void OF any exciting feturcs. No pro-
gramme OF action on Cuban affairs was
submitted by the President nor were any
of the other plans outlined in sensational
dispatches brought forward. Every indi-
cation points 10 the President taking his
own time and acting In his own way II
he acts at all, on the concurrent Cuban
resolutions Of Congress. Much emphasis
is laid by those supposed TO be close
10 the President upon this passage in his
annual message.

for larger autonomy and greater freedom,

The Ways of Women in Summer
 Resort That's Full of Men.
Saratoga Trunks in the Wildwoods-An EIysium Where There Are Three Sturdy Men for Every Woman
 and Trout in Plenty.
IcoPYR1GHT, 1S96.1

Lower Saranac, Aug. 22.-Sometimes in these green arches of the woods l hear the mellow "clankl clank!" of cowbell and am reminded of the cow bell which Mrs. Frederick Gebhart sluno to her four-in-hand in Bar liar Dor, just in frolic, just before l left that blase place.
 Sometimes l see a figure rapidly ap- preaching over a perfect road, wheel mounted and reminding me of Newport and the wider world less wild, until it comes nearer and I see that it is-of all things unexpected-a woods guide, slouch hat on head, pipe in mouth, pack basket and 70 pounds of camp kit on back, pedaling serenely along with a frying-pan handle sticking out over his shoulder.
 Or I hear the beat of hoofs and drum of rolling coach wheels and think of the carriage parade of Saratoga; or white gown with blue facings, glinting far through the trees, gives d remin- iscent flash of the white breaking surf of blue ocean on the Newport rocks; put Wuen see lIle uIcht tiiSh VI Ao place in the world save these glorious woods could be reminded. One point the Adirondacks have of superiority to all other American summer resorts; during the last part, at least, of the season the men outnumber the women almost three to one. It is the paradise of the daughters of Eve.
 Not the mere Saturday-to-Monday fyaways, mind you, who leave five blue Mondays in their wake every week as they depart, but men who stay. And such men! Here at the Saranac

 prominent citizen who lives out on East Prospect street recently took trip with his family to the Windward islands. and while they were there the gentleman's wife bought parrot. II is a beautiful specimen of its kind, and sc well trained that no cage is necessary for it.
 But when she bought the bird the lady did so under a lnisapprehension. It could say Loretta plainly enough, for that is it's name, but the rest of it's talk seemed to be mere tumble oi sounds that were meaningless.
 The bird was brought home and placed upon perch in the library. It seemed 10 be healthy enough, but re. markable change had, duripg the home ward journey, come over iss spirits, Ii seemed morose. Occasionally when some one pronounced the name Loretta within hearing of the parrot, it would brighten up and begin to iabber in it's unintelligible way, but these oatbursts were generally of short duration. It was evident that the bird was victim of low spirits, and by the time the eX- cursionists arrived home they were heartily sorry that they had carried Loretta away from the scenes of her youth and the associations to which she had been accustomed.
 One day after the parrot had seemed to be especially dewnhearted friend ot the family called to inquire about the trip He had been q great traveller himself and could speak nearly all the modern languages, being exceptionally well yersed in Spanish. It may have been due to the way in which he pro. nounced the names of certain places and things that he had seen upon his travels in Spain and the southern countries that started the parrot, or it may have been something else. At all events the bird presently began to jabber, and as it went on an expression of horror grad ually overspread the callers coun. tenance.
 "Why, Loretta" said the hostess syou seem to be feeling better to-day This is the first time you have talked fol week"
 Madame" said the gentleman, ir solemn tones, do you know what thai parrot is saying2"
 "Why, no,s she replied. T didn'i know that it could say anything. It's all lot of meaningless chatter to me. :
 Nothing further was said about il until the visitor got ready to depart Then he took the prominent citizer aside and said to him:
 "rd advise you to keep that bird 1T some dark closet when people who car talk Spanish come to visit you. I have never heard such an outpouring of pro fanity in my life, and have listened tc the muleteers of old Spain when they were at their worst"

SORRY TO BOTHER HIM.
Regretted That He Had to Call a Second
 Time for Stamps.

He was not the countryman of the comic papers. His hat was common. place derby, that fitted him very well; his hair had been cut during the month and seemed destitute of any germs and his clothes were not any funnier than they were fashionable. And yet he was undoubtedly from the country, and when he spoke he used valuable mag. azine dialect.
 He stood near the stamp window or the Park row side of the post office and looked as if he were trying to make ur his mind to do something disagreeahlt to him. At last, after watching peo. pie buying stamps for at least 20 min. utes, he hesitatingly approached the window and said, meelSly;

there is a considerable colony of in- valids-has been since Robert Louis Stevenson stayed here-but after the 10th of August they are all at once quite outnumbered by the big, manly fellows, in fore-and-aft caps and vel low leggins and bclted blouses, with even more than the usual masculine profusion of pockets, who come to chase the forest deer and kill them up," as Jaques puts it. Nowhere else will you see so many fine men at once, save on the Thames just before regatta week, before the crowd of 'Arries ap- pears on the scene.
 It is wilderness strangely modified. One hundred miles from east to west it's magic circle covers, 1o9 miles from north to south, like big round green button sewn on mother earth, but it is now thrid by railroads, much of the way running through game preserves where the unscared lawns poke their noses through the wire fence and gaze wide-eyed at the passing portent and there are big hotels galore, so that even in the heart of the mighty woods the seven-Saratogaed daughter of the sirens can display all her finery.
 The huntress, the fair Diana who her self shoots deer, is fortunately a rare thing here, oftener read of than seen. But it is fine thing to don one's hunt ing gown and properly chaperoned, of course, go floating for deer" late at night through black moorless stretches of water, the boat making no sound, the paddle thrust noiselessly through the water until at length the dark lantern flashes full on the dun coat and the big startled eyes-and then away flies the deer, for, as l said, the woman Diana seldom shoots.
 She is sped on her parting for such an adventure by belaced and beribboned mammas and piazza women as nerve less and uselessly splendid here as else where. Such a gown was worn last evening bs the anxious, millioned man. ma of daughter who had been ordered by her physician to fall in love if possi- ble and who had come to the Adiron- dacks as the best possible place to fill the prescription. She wore-the mann ma wore, standing on the piazza, fair, forty and not thin-a beautiful dress in pale lilac tone, striped with lace down the skirt and across the skirt and down the corsage and over the sleeves. There were braces of lace on the muslin bodice and the belt of cerise ribbon was the one touch of solid color about it. Such gowns are worn in the wilderness.
 The two young women, matron and maid hardly distinguishable, off for the floating expedition were far differently clad. One wore brown cloth costume with close-cut bodice many buttoned and parting over a chamois waistcoat front. The turn-baclx cuffs were of the same material, and the hat was quilled Alpine, best suited for woods wear Just the least touch more elabo- rate was the young matron's plain blue serge with its white waiscoat front of soft silk, its chamois belt with enamel pendants, it's dotted tie. stiff collar and cu1Is and sailor hat, but withal a sem slble costume in contra sst, xyitl 1o her

INCIDENT IN SUNDAY SCHOOL.
A Frightened Little Boys Reply to the
 Superintendent.


 Some time last year a family re- moved from St. Joseph, Mo, to Chi cago. The younger son of the fam fly is a lad of about nine years old and a few days ago the whole Sabbath school which this youth attends was be- ing questioned by the superintendent upon the lesson of the day. The lit tie fellow had an unusually bright and interesting face, and as his class was seated directly in front of the superin- tendeut, he was naturally attracted to him. The lesson was of Moses and how the Red sea had separated and permit ted him to lead his hosts through the divided waters to safety.
 When the superintendent had fin ished relating the story he concluded to see how much his youthful listeners had taken in.
 Who was it, children" he ques- tioned, that led the Israelites into the promised land?"
 With the usual timidity of children about speaking out in meeting" none of them replied. The boys looked at each other and giggled, but none of fered any response.
 Now, know you all know his name," said the superintendent in patronizing tones. Just think moment and tell me. Won't some of you? Let this lit tie man tell me-" he said, pointing at the recent conner from the south.
 T don't know, sir; I don't live here. only came up from Missouri the other day" was the frightened reply-Chi- cago Chronicle.
