Benefits of Fencing.

II q girl wishes to carry herself grace
fully In drawing room, Let her learn to
fence. The salute" for instance In
fencing Is "the measure Of all the rules Of
graceful principles" as the French pro-
fessor expresses it; "on guard" makes the
arm supple; shoulders well thrown back,
body erect and firm on the hips, without
stiffness, " is frequent admonition at diff
terent stages Of the lesson. The straight
thrust in right quartes the parry of Sec
onde; the parry of low quarte-tbese are
the terms which sound altogether puzzling
perhaps to the novice, but they are move
ments full of subtle grace.

wagon load of beer and joint fixtures.
While the church people were asleep

SAGE SAVES A NICKEL.
Uncle Russell Holds a Crowded L
Train for q Few Pennies.

New York, Aug. 29.-The arcade
leading through the building at No. Il
Broadway to the Rector street T.
station in Trinity place was thronged
about p. m. Saturday with hurrying
bankers and brokers on their way
home.
The old elevator of the Arcade build
ing creaked its way downward, the
door was slowly rolled back and out
stepped Russell Sage. Mr. Sage nod
ded to many he knew, and going to
news stand, began looking over the
papers. J. Arthur Joseph of No. A
Broad street, an old friend of the T.
road magnate, came along.
Good morning Mr.. Sage cried Mr.
Joseph, cheerily. Buying your even
ing paDers?'
NO not yet, Arthur. Not yet, Ar
thur. Hadn't quite made up my mind,
Wen I'm just going to buy mine. .
said Joseph. What paper do you read
Mr.. Sage?''
''Oh, any of them-any of them-or
all of them, Arthur" said Mr.. Sage, as
a strange light came into his eyes.
wen, have a set OF them with me;
it's my treat said Mr.. Joseph, and he
handed Mr.. Sage full set Of the after
noon newspapers, for which he count
ed out IL cents.
'Oh, very kind of you; very kind of
you, indeed, Arthur said Mr.. Sage. as
he tucked the newspapers in his inside
pocket, and, taking Mr.. Joseph by the
rear towards the L. station.
A train was just pulling up to the
crowded platform as Mr. Sage and Mr..
Joseph arm in arm, the latter with an
l. ticket in his hand, approached the
ticket chopper
Good evening, Thomas" said Mr..
Sage to the L. employee.
Good evening, gentleman" said the
ticket chopper, who knows Mr.. Sage
too well to halt him for the formality
of exhibiting his pass.
The two men ran aboard the train,
the guard slammed the gates and was
about to release his hand from the bell
rope when Mr. Joseph discovered that
he had forgotten to deposit his ticket
in the box.
BY jove, Mr.. Sage" said MrJoseph.
look here! forgot to put my ticket in
the box, and I suppose the chopper
didn't stop me because he thought 1
''Oh, that's all right. Arthur: that's
all right" said the great fnancier.
Just give me the ticket, Arthur; give
me the ticket" and, snatching the tick
ct, Mr. Sage rushed to the door of the
car just as the train began to move.
stop the train, my man; stop the
train!" he commanded the guard. The
bell-rope creaked and the train came
to a stand still.
''Thomasl come here Thomas!" cried
Mr.. Sage to the ticket chopper, and the
latter left his box and ran up to Mr.
Sage.
Put this ticket in the box Thomas!"
said Mr.. Sage. Put this ticket in the
box, Thomas! Now, mind, I'm watch
ing you, Thomas" were his last words
as the great Western Union magnate
stood leaning over the car gate with
warning finger uplifted. There he stood
till the ticket was in the box and chop
ped up. Then he told the train guard
to go ahead. Rejoining Mr.. Joseph,
the great financier said:
Arthur, really, now, Arthur, I
would have treated you, but it would
not be fair to the stock holders"
The story was too good to keep, and
yesterday those who witnessed the in
cfdent told it everywhere in Wall

FIGHT WITH
SQUAW MEN.
Three Hundred Full BlOOdS Att
tack the Whites.
A Pitched Battle Fought i'm the
Seminole Nation.
FIVE WERE KILLED
U. s. Troops Had to Be Sum-
mOned to QueIl Disorder.
Indians Determined to Drive
Out the Whites.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 29.-One hun
dred and fifty squaw men and three
hundred full blooded Indians and half
breeds had a pitched battle in the
streets of Wewoka in the Seminole res
ervation in the Indian territory yester-
day In the fight, three full bloOds
and two half breeds were killed and
several wounded on both sides.
A reign of terror ensued. Troops
from TT. Carey We're summoned and
their prompt arrival saved great
slaughter as the Indians had retired
to prepare for a more vigorous attack
on the white men. It is thought now
that the troops are able to preserve
order.
The battle which ended in the bloody
encounter has been in progress
some time. At the last meeting of the
Seminole council a law was passed or
dering the immediate expulsion of all
white men from the reservation. For
years it has been the rule for the white
men to go into the country and marry
squaws, getting a right to 100 acres of
land each. Being shrewder than the
Indians the white men secured the
best lands and drove the full bloods to
the poorest.
This condition is what brought about
the passage of the law of expulsion.
The efforts of the Indian police to put
into effect the order of expulsion Is
what caused the trouble.

NO CONVICT COAL.
Penitentiary Directors Refuse to Ac-
cept Bid.

Leavenworth, Aug. 29.-The directors
of the Kansas penitentiary met, yester-
day to let the contract for the output
of the Kansas coal mine. There was
only one bid submitted, that of J.
Husey of Arkansas City, who offered IS
cents a ton for screened lump. The
board did not care to accept such a low
bid and rejected it on the grounds that
it was not accompanied by a certified
check for 1000.
There was a great demand for this
penitentiary coal contract until six
months ago and it was let for $3.50 a
ton. Hard times and labor fights on
the coal have caused the change. Com
mittees from labor organizations were
present today and protested against
the letting of any contract. At present
there are over 200 convict miners do
ing nothing but supplying coal for
state institutions.

Cuban History in Brief.

Spain colonized the island in 1911.
In 1884 and again in 1854 Havana was
destroyed by the French.
Matanzas was the first city to fall into
the hands of the insurgents.
Cruelty and injustice to the natives has
always been the creed of the Spaniards.
The present revolution began February
"a, 1895, when the republic was proclaim
ed by Marti.
In 184S President Polk offered Spain a
million dollars for the island, which offer
was refused.
The constitution of Cuba, modelled on
that of the United States, was adopted
September 90, 1895.
The revolution of 1868 lasted ten years
before Spain succeeded in compromising
by promising reforms.
A triangular blue union, having sim
gle star and five stripes, three of red and
two white, is the flag of the republic.
Very little reliable news of the present
instruction can be obtained, owing to
the censorship of the press and the men,
dacity of the leaders of both sides.
The first serious revolution took place
in 1848, under the leadership of Narcisco
Lopez, who in 1851 repeated his attempt
to free the land from Spanish control.

Guiana's Vile Climate.

The climate of Guiana is not by any
means agreeable. Georgetown is within
six degrees of the equator, and the mer-
curry generally fingers around 80 and
100 degrees. The land is also low and
marshy in places, so that fevers are
prevalent at all seasons of the year, and
a white man cannot live there unless he
takes extreme precaution to observe
certain essential rules. Negroes, on the
contrary, can live anywhere and break
the health rules laid down for the white
settlers. Yellow fever is an annual
plague i'll Georgetown, but the negro
population gives little thought to it, and
it is uncommon to hear of one of their
number taking it. The coolies, who
compose about one-third the population,
are more susceptible to the poor climate
than the negroes, but are much harder
than the whites. The coolies are
lighter and more slender race than the
negroes, but they are Industrious and
moderately faithful workers, while the
negroes are lazy and INDECENT The real
hard and difficult work in the fields
that requires muscle is performed by the
negroes, but the steady, continuous,
light work is allotted to the coolies.
The two races are naturally hostile,
more so.than the Europeans and the ma
tives. st. Louis Globe Democrat.
