last night. Bein' blind is one hell, and
bein' down there is two hells. But he
is only in two hells this morning. If
you let me take him away he will only
be in one hell.
He is awful woody when he is full
Let me take him to Silver Lake won't
you2
Come on down here, woman. Come
down here" Bring me my satchel
You old crazy thing" These cries
came from the basement cell. When
Mrs. Smith went down there he said:
Lucinda, I amt gOin' to live with you
any longer. Now, you get them to let
me out and III take you to your moth
er's.
oh. woman. what did you want to
have me arrested fOr?'
He's a little woody yet said she.
Smith makes a living by teaching
livery stable employees the mysteries
of veterinary surgery. He also has
some recipes for a mixture to eXter-
inmate rats and vermin.
He is totally blind and almost crazy.
When drunk it is all that two officers
want to do to handle him. Years ago
he lived here. He has been floating
about the country teaching surgery"
and many times has been arrested for
getting drunk and threatening to kill
some one Then the authorities usual
" get two tickets and ship the couple
to some other town. Mrs. Smith is to-
tally daft. She talks incoherently and
at times is said to become violent.
Five years ago she married Henry
0. Smith and ever since that time they
have fought and made up, been ar
rested and shipped on, and still they
go.

SICK OF THE SENIORS.
Even Havana Now sympathizes With
the Rebels.

London, Sept. 9.-The Times this
morning publishes a lengthy letter
from its Havana correspondent, deal
ing with the state of affairs in Cuba
in the course of which he says: Care
full study for the past four months
convinces me that despite serious loss
es the rebels are holding their own
against the troops. The wealthy agri-
cultural districts are now completely
under rebel control and the whole sym
pathy of the islanders is with the reb-
els. Even Havana, which is more
Spanish than any other town or dis
trict is permeated with animosity to-
wards Spanish rule, and is honey
combed with intriguers on behalf of
the rebellion.
1T is quite false to call it a color
struggle. In the fighting ranks of the
insurgents, the proportion is 20 per
cent of whites to 80 per cent of ne
groes''
