Particulars.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Consul Gen
eral Lee at Havana has cabled the state
department some details of the arrest
of Sylvester Scovel, the New York
World correspondent III Cuba. He
says that Scovel was arrested on the

the case transferred to Havana, where
he would have better opportunity to

Hunting the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it indiscriminately called, is a
species OF & game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is o SO much because
OF the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because OF Its actual
rarity. 1t is II stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually. among rocks and cliffs
This requires great labor TO get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten

THE case of Mrs. Carew, who wa
recently sentenced TO death At Yoko-
homa for poisoning her husband with
strychnine, the sentence being subse-
quently commuted to life-imprisou-
ment, according to aLondon telegram,
is beginning to develop still stronger
points Of resemblance to that Of Mrs.
Maybrick. William Tucker, q drug
gist Of high standing, who formerly
KEEP: a store at Glastonbury, where Mr..
Carew and his wife lived, has made q
sworn statement to the effect that he
sold arsenic in large quantities to Mr..
Carew for some time prior to his mar
riage, nine years ago. and that he has
a record of such sale on the very day
before Carew's marriage to the woman
who has now been declared his MUIR
deress. The mayor and mayoress OF
the borough, and other influential resi-
dents, also testified to the knowledge
of the fact that Mr.. Carew was an
habitual user Of arsenic. They give as
their eason for not coming forward
before, their belief that Mrs. Carew
would be acquitted without argument.
Dispositions OF all those acquainted
with Mr.. Carew's former habits are
being prepared and will be forwarded
to the Yokohoma authorities.

TUESDAY EVENING. FEB. %, 1897.
wAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY.

Ia the hurly -burly OF this modern
age, some people seem to have almost
forgotten that such a man as Wash
ington once lived and came to high
by giving largely Of his service
to the earlier cause Of Continental
liberty. He who was once "frst in the
hearts OF his countrymen" is anything
but first in the thoughts Of their later
successors; the anniversary of his birth
comes and goes with scarcely more
than a casual and unenthusiastic COM
memoration. This is not as it should
be. 1t IS unworthy OF our people to
permit a day that marks so many hal.
lowed associations as this, to pass
without particular and appropriate
o~bservancss. That the interests Of the
country have become so vast and com
plicated that it has grown from IN
infant colony to a giant power, that in
all the elements of greatness it has
become the leader Of nations, is only so
much The stronger a reason why the
birth Of one whose heroism and wisdom
are part and parcel Of our revolution
airy history, above the wisdom and
heroism Of all others, should be made
the occasion of grattful v%eneration and
becoming festivities.
Next to the memorable day when u
independence as a people was formally
declared, should the natal day Of
Washington be ~solemnized upon our
calendar of holidays, for the principles
e~nunciated at Philadelphia became
thereafter the guiding star Of his devo-
ton, in war and peace, and owe their
grandest vindication to the trlumphsof
his patriotism and valor. The event
should each year be celebrated with
oratory and song, with poetry and
music, with generous rejoicings and
acclamation of gratitude-forgetting
for a while the turmoil of life, the dis
sensions Of party, the thousand and
one enslaving chains Of self interest,
In remembrance of the soldier and
president to whom we owe SO large a
debt for civil liberty, for constitutional
right, and for the blessings Of a free
government.

at Milwaukee from the Chicago agency

gressmen from the districts and states

against this action. They have al.
ready put in circulation a petition call
Ing upon President Elect Mckinley

existing agencies to continue. They
claim, OF course, that by the reduction
In the number Of agencies there will be
great delay in paying pensioners and
much hardship will result sherefrom.
lnasmuch as payments are now made
by check and not to the pensioner in
person, there is nothing in this cry.
The sole opposition to the order comes
from senators and representatives who
do not want to see any OF the spoils OF
office taken from them. Each pension
agent receives 81. 000a year. and has
10 addition a number OF clerks. The
politicians, Of course, do not desire to
sac this amount of patronage go out OF
existence. Hence their opposition.

II has become very grave question
and the chief local issue of Providence
whether this town is governed by the
gam blers or by the officers of the law
Until that question is satisfactorily set
tied in behalf OF honesty and decency, the
authorities must be discredited and the
performance of their duties is only farcical.
The ends Of justice are certainly not
attained by tho arrest of petty thieves
and revelers while theiwreckers of homes
and the robbers of wageearners are
allowed to carry on their nefarious work
without molestation.
