tried to induce the non-union men TO stop

the front window of his shop and fired
half a dozen shots promiscuously into the
crowd, causing wild excitement. No one

fight against the Spaniards. Together
with eixty-two OF his countrymen. ne
was mt aboard the steamer bermuda
OF here this morning by little passenger
steamer from Atlantic City. The entire
scheme was cleverly worked out, and the
agents OF the Spanish Government are
said 10 have been badly taken In. III Is
now known that the members OF the ex-
petition left Philadelphia In rather open
manner on Sunday night in tug. To all
inteuts and purposes II was proclaimed
from the house-tops that their destination
was the Delaware breakwater. and that
IL was from of there that steamer
would be boarded for Cuba.
Ii is presumed that the Spanish officials
had the tug followed when 1t left Phila-
delphia. The Cubans went upon THIS pre-
sumption. at least and during a fog on
Monday afternoon their tug doubled ana
returned up the Delaware bay ana river
to Camden, arriving there Monday eve
ming. The party at once boarded spe-
clsl train which landed them at Tucka-
hoe. The Cubans boarded the steamboat
Atlantic City. which was lying waiting
for them She is used for summer trainc
at the seashore resort OF that name. IL
has been out OF commission Tor several
months. On Monday last the Atlantic
City took out papers of inspection from
the customs-h house for the purpose, as
supposed by the customs officials. OF
putting her in temporary commission,
as II was known that some parties had
been negotiating to purchase her. The
Atlantic City left Tuckahoe at o'clock
yesterday and steamed TO Ocean CITY,
where she lay all night. While the At
lantic City was at Tuckahoe and can
City none OF the Cubans were visible
on deck, but this morning. when the
whistle of the Bermuda attracted people
along the coast, the concealed men came
on deck and gave cheer after cheer as
the Atlantic City steamed out to meet
the arms-laden steamer.
Beyond the three-mile limit the transfer
OF the Cubans to the Bermuda took place
and the steamer then proceeded on her
way. The custom-house officials were
caught nappine. and could do nothing to
hinder the transfer of the men. They at
once communicated with the authorities
AT Washington. r. II. 1ngersoll, Secre-
tary of the company which owns the At
lantic CITY. says that the steamer was
only put in commission for the purpose of
giving her a trial trip for the benefit OF
her intended purchasers.

Three Long and Excellent Words
CHarper's Round Tablet

NldiPti iNouiu
There are three rather long words.
which may be- used as legs on which to
hang reflections OF their own, or points
round which ideas may cluster. One is
development. If you cut an apple
through the circumference, as you cut
an orange you will see in clear outline
around the starlike centre made by the
seeds the shape of the blossom. The
fruit has grown from the flower and
the flowers shape Is In the heart of the
fruit. The fruit developed little by little
through summer days and winter days
but the flower gave IT the start Take
the little thought and use 1t, and II you
have a gift or grace-a taste for house
keeping. cooking. sewing painting, or
readng-develop 1t by use and study and
taking pains
My next long word is responsibility. It
means. as we all know. the answering
when we are called answering to our
names. The responsible person can be
trusted Not long ago. in New York city
a fire broke out In the upper stories Of
great apartment-house. Two young
women, one a young lady visiting the
family In a certain home on the sixth
floor Of the house; the other a maid In the
same home. were confronted suddenly
with black volumes OF smoke. red tongues
of flame. and no way OF escape but by
the iron ladder that hung along the side
of the house. There were two children
there. and some valuable papers, and
though the young women could not save
everything, they took the children and the
papers down the fire-escape with calm
ness and courage They were responsible.
My last word is conservation. 1t is a
very sacred word. and / leave you to
weave your own sweet fancies around
II. w e must be consecrated to the best
possible Ideal, we must I'll every day
with noble work.

Verdict Greeted with Applause.

NEW ORLEANS. LA, March ia
case OF unusual interest was concluded
here to-day In section a, Of the Criminal
Court, when John Krautter was acquitted
OF the charge of shooting with intent TO
ruined Krautter's young sister and then
refused 10 carry out his promise OF mar
riage. He was given a chance. but refused
TO right the wrong, when Krautter met
DANGEROUSLY wounded, but recovered.
The defence set up I'm court was that
the provocation was great, and the shame
and insult to the family justified the
shooting.
The jury was out only a short time, and
rendered a verdict OF acquittal. This was
greeted with applause.

A Small Boys observation In Eu-
Harper's Round-Table.)


We had a great time when We landed.
All our trunks had to be opened by the
custom-house inspectors to see II we
had any cologne or cigars In 'em. l don't
see why they call them custom-house
officers though. Their costumes weren't
anythi wonderful. 1t took Pop half
an hour to get his trunks all through,
because he said the inspector didn't
know the language. Pop says he asked
him what nation he belonged to, and the
man said ne was Hinglish, and Pop told
him he'd never heard of any such people;
where did they live? In Hingland, the
man said. Where's that? asked Pop,
and the man nearly tainted; and then
Pop gave him a half a crown, and the
man said he guessed he needn't open
any more trunks. because man as
ignorant as he was wouldn't have sense
enough TO try to smuggie anything in
anywhere.
After all the trunks were passed, Pop
asked man where the baggage-car was,
and that man couldn't speak English
either He asked Pop what, and Pop
says again, Where's the baggage-car?
and just then an American that had been
over before SAYS TO the men, he means
the luggage-van, and the man said. Oh!
wy didn't ee 81 so? Pop says he thinks
mats Welsh, Whlcn Is language ne
never liked, anyhow. The only welsh
thing he ever liked was a rabbit he said.
Wots your name asked the Baggage
man. Drake, says Pop. Well your
van is the seventh car up. It's marked
with a d. Do you know a ID when you
see it? Pop said he guessed so. He'd
seen one once, and he had an idea that
1t looked like without a pedestal. or
a b cut in two. That's 1t. said the man.
Wei, you put your luggage in the van
marked with a p without a pedestal.
and when you get to London you can
go and claim It. But suppose some
body else claims II said Pop. That's his
affair and yours. not mine says the man
and he walked off. Then Pop found out
that they don't give checks over here.
and he said he guessed the reason was
that they preferred cash.
